There seems to be some confusion about meanings of certain words. Asking about creationsim in school I was more often than not told, "Teach both theories and allow the children to decide for themselves."
One clarification is needed.


A theory in technical use is a more or less verified or established explanation accounting for known facts or phenomena.

A hypothesis is a conjecture put forth as a possible explanation of phenomena or relations, which serves as a basis of argument or experimentation to reach the truth.

Now, all that being said, do you now realize the difference between the two?

I know alot of you are going to say 'turn him in circles' or something of the sort, and trust me I've tried. Sometimes it works but he'll also move sideways really awkwardly instead of turning a lot of the time even when I crank his head around as far as I can, he's gotten good at jerking away before anyone can get his head around far enough for force him to stop going sideways and actually turn.

He only does it badly after jumps. He'll try to run away on the flat occasionally but he's easy to work down from that, after jumps he gets it set in his mind that he's jumping the next thing he sees and drags you towards that.

Take this sample box score for instance:
1st Period
New Jersey hooking - 2 min 1:32, J. Viuhkola served by O. Malmivaara
NY Rangers interference with goaltender - 2 min 6:06, S. Avery served by I. Baranka
New Jersey kneeling - 2 min 11:15, M. Rupp served by O. Malmivaara
New Jersey cross check - 2 min 12:42, V. Vishnevski served by O. Malmivaara
NY Rangers boarding - 2 min 14:34, D. Kasparaitis served by I. Baranka
2nd Period
NY Rangers holding the stick - 2 min 3:17, A. Anisimov served by I. Baranka
NY Rangers slashing - 2 min 9:40, B. Shanahan served by I. Baranka
NY Rangers holding - 2 min 15:37, H. Jessiman served by I. Baranka

Every New Jersey penalty says served by O. Malmivaara even tho he is not the one that took the penalty

And every New York penalty says served by I. Baranka even tho he did not take a penalty.

I was at that game and those 2 guys didn't even play. The ppl that took the penalties served the time themselves

I love to give away Christian books and show Christian movies.I've read many of his books and they've all been great but this one just really inspired me. Anyone else share this experience?

I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a good dim sum place in the Boston area. It'll be my first time actually eating dim sum and I don't know what's good and whats bad. So restaurant suggestions (and addresses) would be nice, as well as things to order. Thank you!

Seemingly we do not know at what direction is this heading, Some refuse independence, others decline statehood. Should Congress or whomever has the power to do so, hand the Spanish what was once a possession of the monarchy? Would not it be easier rather that scratching and turning our heads the other way?

I work for a chinese food place and they pay me $6 under the counter, there are bugs and cockroaches everywhere and they have been found in the food. I have a feeling the people working in the kitchen are here in the U.S. illegally and they get paid $1 an hour!! We're not allowd to claim our tips they go to the cooks, and if we do they accuse us of stealing. The minimum wage in NH is $6.50, as of september first and we're not seeing anything of it (my co-worker and i). We're giving our 2 weeks tomorrow but want to tell the police about these horrid conditions we've been working in. Is there any way we could get in trouble for working under the table, we're both minors and scared of the out come. Thanks for reading.

I feel like I'm forever being judged, harassed and having Christianity shoved down my throat.

But if (The Christian) God is the one and only god, then where are the other 70% and why don't they believe too?

30% isn't very convincing to me.

I do my best to help the pro war people. Everytime I see a car with "I support he troops" decal "OR" a "I support President Bush" decal. I walk up to them and say a big thank you for the support. Then I request them to sign up their adult children for the military and go to Iraq and fight. The smile of the war supporter turns into a look of drinking lemon juice. Why do the nice pro war people turn against me? I served. Why can't they?

I served on a superior court civil jury trial last year, for most of october.

I just got summoned for jury duty for a criminal trial. I thought if you served on a superior court trial, you had two years before you were called again? But no, they denied my request for deferral.

Should I say one of my good pals is the chief of police (true)? Or just go and see what happens?? I'm in California, btw. What's the law? maybe someone at the court is mistaken.

I live in Canada, Sask. I'm 14, turning 15 in Feb. I want to move out, but I thought it would be easier, and possibly funner (hehe) to live in an appartment that's near my school. It's possible for me to make SOME money to pay for rent, but my parents could also pitch in. Is that legal? If my parents rent it out, but don't live there? Just me, while helping them pay for rent? Or is that a totally bogus idea? I don't want the poepoe involved in any way. Haha. That would not be good. If appartments arn't an option, I'll be moving in with one of my friends.
