If so, then why did Job - a man who "...was blameless, upright, fearing God and turning away from evil. [Job 1:1]" - rebuke his wife in the midst of his difficulties and say, "...Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity? [Job 2:10]"
Couple this with Deut. 32:39, and I wonder if we have such a misconception of God's nature, that when adversities come in our lives we immediately wonder why God is not in control.
What are your thoughts?

Hey everyone! I'll be 18 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I have a alil bump but im not big at all by any means. Recently, over the past 2 weeks especially ive noticed that im getting this weird pain in the right side of my back when im standing or walking around a lot. It almost feels like a strain in my muscles that won't go away till i sit down...when im at the mall walking around it starts to sometimes kick in when ive been on my feet for a while and seems to get worese the more i stand. I was wondering if this could be due to the baby even though im not that big yet. Could it be that the baby is more towards my back and thats the reason for the pain and for maybe why im not as big as some at almost 5 months. This is my first pregnancy. Thanks!

Hello, I have a drama school audition coming up and I'm curious about people's thoughts on Phebe's speech "Think not I love him, though I ask for him....and thou shalt bear it, Silvius". I have some good ideas but I would appreciate any pointers on how to perform it, I'm doing it comically but I don't want to push this too much. Any other input about who she is, what she's like and thoughts on the character would be greatly appreciated. I'm a huge fan of Shakespeare but she's more of a minor character and there's never much written about her. I hope you can help me, thanks!

I'm a bit confused and hope I can get a few opinions and information on this....I understand that you're basic shows are in danger of running reruns for sometime until this is settled. However, they are saying that shows such as David Letterman, Leno, SNL are more at "risk" since they are recorded live or on a rolling basis...so I guess my question is this...aren't David, Leno and the cast of SNL comedians in their own right? Wouldn't we expect them to write most of their own material, which means that they they shouldn't suffer as much as drama shows? Or am I on the wrong line of thinking?

By the way, I don't watch TV much at all (only to fall asleep and a few shows a week amounting to about 5 hours of TV a week if that much).

It didn't seem like "white guilt". (Just thought I'd mention that, because I'm sure someone else will.) They acted like they were REALLY PISSED (like it was far more than "white guilt").

This is what happened....

My husband and I went to a party Saturday night (at one of hubby's cousin's house in Richmond, VA). Much of the family was there who we haven't seen in LONG time. While there, we discovered that a few of his cousins had married white women and that the mother of four of his cousins had married a white man. No biggie... They seemed cool. Everything was going great until we all started making race-related jokes.

One of hubby's cousins wanted to take a group picture of a bunch of the guys. So anyway, they were making jokes about it being too dark to take photos of black people. My husband's brother made a joke about Panasonic making the camera "too eff'd up to take pictures of black folk in the dark" and then said, "yea, we need to call the NAACP on'em."

I´m not a believer in religion. Having said that, I´ve been to church many times in the UK for weddings and funerals. I found the experience to be one of despair. The church was invariably cold, dull and in many cases it was a boring experience. However, I was recently invited to go to someone´s communion in a Catholic church in rural Spain. The experience in that church was uplifting. The whole time I was there I felt relaxed. People came and go as they pleased. Some answered mobile phones and others chatted through the communion. The one thing that would make me go again was instead of organ music they had guitars playing. Even some traditional hymns sounded so much more inviting. I could have stayed there all day just listening to the music. The church was packed full of people. When I´ve been in the UK churches seem a much stiffer occasion and their appears to be dwindling membership. Why can´t the UK adopt the same as rural Spain. Have a relaxed and enjoyable experience.

MOSES: And God came down from the Heavens, and He said unto the Chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road!" And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.

AGENT MULDER: You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens have to cross the road before you believe it?

RICHARD M. NIXON: The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the chicken did NOT cross the road.

JERRY SEINFELD: Why does anyone cross a road? I mean, why doesn't anyone ever think to ask, "What the heck was this chicken doing walking around all over the place, anyway?"

FREUD: The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.

BILL GATES: I have just released the new Chicken Office 2000, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook.

OLIVER STONE: The question is not, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" Rather, it is, "Who was crossing the road at the same time, whom we overlooked in our haste to observe the chicken crossing?"

DARWIN: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically dispositioned to cross roads.

LOUIS FARRAKHAN: The road, you will see, represents the black man. The chicken 'crossed' the black man in order to trample him and keep him down.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.

GRANDPA: In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken had crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.

MACHIAVELLI: The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why? The end of crossing the road justifies whatever motive there was.

EINSTEIN: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

BUDDHA: Asking this questions denies your own chicken nature.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON: The chicken did not cross the road; it transcended it.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die. In the rain.

COLONEL SANDERS: I missed one?

1. A block of mass m is at rest on an inclined plane as shown in the figure. Find an expression for the static friction in terms of the mass , the acceleration of gravity, and and the angle shown.
1. The attempt at a solution:
http://www.physicsforums.com/attachm...3&d=1194247920
Newtons 1st Law
sum of forces = 0
mg cos(a) -μs * mg sin (a) = 0
μs = cos(a)/sin(a) = cot(a)
thus: static frictoin = cot(a)*cos(a)
2. A proud new BMW owner drivers her car at a speed of 25 m/s into a corner. The coefficients of friction between the road and the tires are 0.70 (static) and 0.40(kinetic). What is the minimum radius of curvature for the corner in order for the car not to skid?
2. Speed(v) of honda = 25 m/s
Coefficient of kinetic friction(μk) = 0.40
