And if your interested leave your email ill send it on the email so you dont need to download a docuement that way FOR SURE ITS NOT A SPAM! OR VIRUS! THANK YOU! And just in case you dont believe me this is the first part. The year is 2100, mankind abused our planet Earth by littering, destroying and rapid use of fossil fuels. By doing all that mankind melted the Earths only fresh water supply right into the ocean, and as if that wasn't enough there was a 10 year war on oil between the Western coalition, and the eastern alliances of Russia, and China. The war started in 2075 August 5th...the day I was born...so I grew up a pretty decent life that is until my father left to fight in the war, leaving me with my mom in 2080 when I was only 5 and just started school....As time went on my life got worse and worse the war was all around me not the fight itself but the struggle for it...prices for gas sky rocketed to 20 bucks a gallon....riots occurred....people stopped going to school...I felt alone...The war finally ended in 2085 June 20th when both fractions agreed to put all efforts into creating cheap-efficient bio fuels, which in the long run turned out to be a competition on the word "Bio"....From the race to make the most efficient fuel scientists discovered alot about bio fuels they can be used to enhance normal performances proving not to be harmful or toxic at the time....ethanol now the most common fuel is used in most of our cars and only emits harmless water vapor...And for 1.50 a gallon it was a winner....even though that race was over research didn?t stop.....2093 on the day of my graduation they made a discovery that they could manipulate genetic code with these bio engineered products to increase any trait you wish....from hearing, to speech, sight, agility, etc.....The first tests were on the newly graduated students to let loose a whole new breed of successors they said....till about a year later side effects were realized.

While reviewing the answers to this question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081211152532AAjCFCr I noticed one user calling himself "Sam" replied with the following: [ start quote ] ?And we have made the earth egg shaped?. [Al-Qur?an 79:30] Now is this not proof that you're a liar. [ end quote ] I investigated this so-called "miracle", and I'm a bit confused why the user chose to use a translation of the Quran which was made in the 80's, by a man named Khalifa who ironically claimed the Quran was changed because it didn't conform to one of his theories. That man was murdered for changing the Quran, yet users like "Sam" insist on using Khalifa's version of the Quran, simply because it feigns a "science miracle". There are more than a dozen English translations (versions) of the Quran, and Khalifa's is the ONLY one which calls the Earth "egg shaped". All the others describe the Earth as "stretched out" or "expanded" or "made into a wide expanse" etc. Why would Khalifa's translation contradict dozens of other Arabic scholars who went to great lengths to translate the Quran accurately for their version of the Quran? Does it seem a bit convenient that Khalifa's translation was made AFTER the Earth was discovered to be shaped like an oblate spheroid (squashed at the poles)? Is this PROOF that some Muslims will intentionally use deceit to "prove" the Quran isn't just the dictated words of Mohammad, the self-proclaimed prophet? What is another explanation for the fact that the only translation to call the Earth "egg-shaped" was made AFTER the discovery that the Earth is not perfectly spherical? Keep in mind: dozens of other Arabic scholars describes the Earth as everything EXCEPT round? Please learn Arabic before you make these claims. Dhaha and Dahaha are completely different words. Don't take my word for it...look it up and see it for yourself. The growth of Islam is due to the birth rates of Muslim families. If you had done research, you would already know that. Islam's growth is of no concern to me. The methods used to spread it are. It's like when someone uses false advertising to sell a product. It's unethical, dishonest, and demonstrates the spurious nature if the subject being promoted. Demonizing people won't change the facts. They are there for you. Accept them. Embrace the truth, rather than try to manipulate it. Lies beget lies. That is why so many lies are used to promote Mohammad's religion. (more...)

I keep seeing swimmers at meets with very light, large towels that dry very fast. They have Silver in them, which kills bacteria so they don't get musty. Towels are by Discovery Trekking, there are a ton of reviews on them if you Google "wicking towels". and they are talked about a lot in the master swim chat groups. Can anyone tell me what they paid, and if you got a team discount? (more...)

An interesting site I thought some people might want to check out; please do not raise havoc if you do not agree. Thank You! ------------------------ Does God Exist - The Big Questions Does God exist? An answer to this fundamental question is a prerequisite for answering the other big questions of life: Where did we come from? Why are we here? Do we serve a purpose? Do we have any intrinsic value? What happens after we die? The question of the existence of God is fundamental. Does God Exist - A Philosophical Issue Before we ask the question "Does God exist?" we first have to deal with our philosophical predispositions. If, for example, I am already dedicated to the philosophical idea that nothing can exist outside of the natural realm (i.e. there can be no supernatural God), no amount of evidence could convince me otherwise. Asking the question "does God exist?" would be pointless. My answer would be "No, He doesn't," regardless of whether God truly exists or not. The question would be impossible to answer from an evidential standpoint simply because anything which God might have done (that is, any supernatural act which might serve as evidence for His existence) would have to be explained away in terms of natural causes, not because we know what those natural causes could possibly be, but simply because a supernatural God is not allowed to exist! Dr. Richard Lewontin, the Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology at Harvard University, put it like this: "It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door" (Richard Lewontin, "Billions and Billions of Demons," New York Review of Books, January 9, 1997, p. 28). If, on the other hand, I were neutral, and didn't already have an "a priori adherence" to a particular worldview (be it naturalistic or otherwise), the question "does God really exist?" wouldn't be pointless at all. Rather, it would be the first step in an objective and meaningful search for ultimate truth. Our willingness to ask the question with an open mind is fundamental to our ability to discover the truth behind the answer. So first of all, before you even ask the question, decide whether or not you're really willing to accept the answer. Does God Exist - Things to Consider Once you're ready to ask the question, "does God exist?" here are a few observations to consider as you begin your search for an objective answer: * Discoveries in astronomy have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that the universe did, in fact, have a beginning. There was a single moment of creation. * Advances in molecular biology have revealed vast amounts of information encoded in each and every living cell, and molecular biologists have discovered thousands upon thousands of exquisitely designed machines at the molecular level. Information requires intelligence and design requires a designer. * Biochemists and mathematicians have calculated the odds against life arising from non-life naturally via unintelligent processes. The odds are astronomical. In fact, scientists aren't even sure if life could have evolved naturally via unintelligent processes. If life did not arise by chance, how did it arise? * The universe is ordered by natural laws. Where did these laws come from and what purpose do they serve? * Philosophers agree that a transcendent Law Giver is the only plausible explanation for an objective moral standard. So, ask yourself if you believe in right and wrong and then ask yourself why. Who gave you your conscience? Why does it exist? * People of every race, creed, color, and culture, both men and women, young and old, wise and foolish, from the educated to the ignorant, claim to have personally experienced something of the supernatural. So what are we supposed to do with these prodigious accounts of divine healing, prophetic revelation, answered prayer, and other miraculous phenomena? Ignorance and imagination may have played a part to be sure, but is there something more? If your curiosity has been piqued and you desire to look into this matter further, we recommend that you consider the world's assortment of so-called Holy Books. If God does exist, has He revealed Himself? And if He has revealed Himself, surely He exists... Source: http://www.allaboutphilosophy.org/does-god-exist-c.htm (more...)

Trial is set for mid December. I need to serve custodian of records for an officer's prior misconduct or complaints if they exist. Because I am in Texas and discovery is generally limited to seeing documents only after state employee testify s does this mean I cannot get a copy of the officer's record before trial in order to prepare before trial starts? Also, when writing up the Subpoena, do I have to include for the custodian of records to personally appear on the trial date or can I just subpoena requesting the documents that I need to review?
