» Is marriage an institution which still has relevance in our society?

Is marriage still important within society? (Does it have the same meaning to individuals like it did in the past) I don't believe marriage is still viewed the same way. Take Britney Spears for instance, she had a 55 hour marriage (think it was 55). Obviously society as a whole does not value marriage like it use to! I'm just not sure why, or if someone thinks otherwise.. prove howDepends in what culture we're talking about here? I presume you are referring to Western culture. I dunno if it's a little bit of a sweeping statement; 'society as a whole does not value marriage like it used to' Yeah maybe some members, and yeah okay we do see a lot of people getting more divorces, or marrying a lot more ...... - 2008-12-20

» Candid Couple

This was taken New Year's night in my friend's kitchen. I used a high contrast to completely "white out" the walls. I did a circle crop on the photo to draw the attention closer to them. This was taken at a film speed of 1600, no flash, and a shutter speed of I think 100 something. Slightly blurred but still nice, I think. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/TaralynRomero/finaledit-small.jpg *I don't have a real editing program so the "frame" was done in PowerPoint.... thus explains the crappy feel to it. Thanks for looking! Comments welcome.They look so happy! I think with such happy expressions you probably don't even need to crop it like that to get the focus on them.What a nice shot!! Beautiful couple so full of life!! I l...... - 2008-12-20

» How can I make a difference in my life and in the lives of the people around me throughout life?

Be a good listener.The best way to make a difference in the lives of people around you throughout your life is to listen to people who need an open ear with an open mind and a wide open heart.Always be honest, never say anything negative about anybody, offer constructive criticism only when you know it is wanted, visit people in the nursing home, and teach somebody to play an instrument or to do some type of craft. Do things for people and don't expect anything in return.Love yourself, and love others unconditionally.By thinking for yourself. By following your heart. By living a life of principles. By doing what you can, when you can to help others when it does not benefit you but them; and finding fulfillment in that. By realizin...... - 2008-12-20

» Tv.com lookup

hi guys, with all the greatness of xbmc, i was surprised to see that there hasn't yet been a tv version of imdb lookup - everyone knows how great it is to be able to press 'info' and read all about the film you're about to watch. wouldn't it be great if you could do that on a tv show you've got? just click 'info' and it uses tv.com to find out the rating it got, the storyline, and even a picture if one's available. i don't know much about python, howevere seeing how complex some of the other scripts are, i don't believe this one could be that hard -isn't it similar to imdb - untill it comes to the actual episode, finding the series will be fine, then couldn't there be a list of the episodes and you select which one you want to be downloaded...... - 2008-12-20

In flash there are some n number of images like a list. If i drag on image and drop it somewhere between two images the images should arrange automatically as we changed. I have no idea of how to do it. Any body give some ideas and help me. thanx Nithyanandhan.SI'm not quite sure I got what you meant. You mean arrange as in one on top of another, like piled? Or distributed all over the stage? In the first case, you need to use swapDepth, or the getNextHighestDepth property, in the second option, in which they are distributed on the scene, you might wanna use x and y coords, but that's out of reach for me...

Then Nash, Hall, and Pac went to WCW and joined the nWo while the rest of the Kliq formed DX. The nWo ruled WCW until it collapsed and DX may be the reason people switched from WCW over to WWF.

Does anyone know some great horror books? If the horror genre in literature is anything like the horror genre in cinema I'm guessing 99% is awful but there are some golden nuggets hidden among the garbage. Anyone know what they are? Scott Sigler's Infected Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas ( I like Brother Odd best but they are better if you can read in order)I've been trying to find something really good in the horror genre too. Don't read The Amityville Horror. Piece of garbage, in my opinion. I was really disappointed by it. Someone recommended Hell House to me, and it was actually really good.

Sounds cheesey but, just take one day at a time. You'll still miss them and have days when you break down but it does get easier in time.You can't live with it until you have been through the grieving process and to be honest, grief made me not want to live myself and took me a very long time to deal with. It is the most miserable and heartbreaking experience I have ever had to go through and it is unfortunately something that you have to learn to live with your own way, you have to find your way to deal with what has happened to the person you loved and to deal with how that has affected your life and you have to do that by yourself, because you are the only person who knows how much it has affected you and you are the only pers...... - 2008-12-20

» Would the ''world financial crisis'' have happened if the media hadn't fuelled the panic.?

eg. if people hadn't been told about ,then they'd probably still be spending as usual.The so called financial crisis primarily involved New York financial institutions. Apparently, this also affected some foreign investors who had money invested in some of these institutions. The majority of banks across the U.S. were not affected until the media got involved. The main reason the government decided to bail these companies out was due to pressure from individuals who lost money they had in retirement accounts. I think that this was a direct result of media hype. It was not a national issue until the media started to hype this as a crisis. It was a crisis for some who had money invested in these companies.

» PS CS4's "Seam Carving" Feature: Why I'm excited about it

First a quote from Webmonkey's first look at the forthcoming Photoshop: Perhaps the most jaw-dropping new feature is the “seam carving” resize tool. Traditionally, if you want to resize the width of an image, but not the height, you’ve had to accept some distortion as the image was stretched. Last year, however, two researchers came up with a technique known as seam carving, or intelligent resizing (http://www.webmonkey.com/blog/Stunning_Video_Of_%22Content_Aware_Image_Resizing% 22). As we suspected (http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/08/is-intelligent-.html) when one of the team was hired by Adobe, the technology has become part of Photoshop.

I am serious. if you watched the episode, you will know. i was happy he killed elle, but wtf at them as a couple?HE WASN'T THINKING! you better give me a best answer because i gave you one ERIZBIFFWhat are the writer's thinking? Season 3 is utter crap, since they kicked off Jeph Loeb and Simon Fuller. I stopped watching after the 3rd episode, Claire's lines and expressions are utterly cringe worthy. IMO they should have killed off Sylar in season 1, and gotten a new villian, secondly, Kristen Bell !! keep her!!, too many blondes though. They should seriously kill off half the cast, Ali Larter is hot, but she never dies because there's 3 of her??I don't think he really killed her cuz all the sites sa...... - 2008-12-20

» Vaccine news - Turning to Chickens in Fight With Bird Flu

May 2, 2006 News Analysis Turning to Chickens in Fight With Bird Flu By DONALD G. McNEIL Jr. Desperate times call for desperate measures. In the worst months of the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, doctors flailing to save patients tried all sorts of outlandish "cures." Cupping and bleeding made comebacks. Intravenous hydrogen peroxide was tried, sometimes fatally. One doctor injected a mix of blister fluid, morphine, strychnine and caffeine. Typhoid vaccine was given, since it prompts immune reactions; so was quinine, because it breaks malarial fevers. Presumably, if the A(H5N1) avian flu turns into a pandemic, modern medicine will show more common sense. But at the moment, the common-sense response — an avian flu vaccine for humans — ...... - 2008-12-20

I am a new private pilot and tomorrows forecast winds are 14 kts sustained gusting 24 kts. Amazingly, I have not encountered winds this great before in my training. i know the demonstrated max crosswind component is 15 knots and doesn't include gusts, but i am just curious....would YOU fly if you were a 100 hour pilot?The fact that you are questioning it makes me think you might want to pass. The thing that would worry me the most is the night landing if you are worried about the crosswind. When in doubt don't go out I am a student pilot and i've really never encountered winds gusting at 24 knots I would pass and just wait till I get more experience.

a few facts that are REALLY suprising and can be anything to do with dreaming xplay on lottery* During the night there may be many external stimuli bombarding the senses, but the mind interprets the stimulus and makes it a part of a dream in order to ensure continued sleep. The mind will, however, awaken an individual if they are in danger or if trained to respond to certain sounds, such as a baby crying. * Dreams allow the repressed parts of the mind to be satisfied through fantasy while keeping the conscious mind from thoughts that would suddenly cause one to awaken from shock. * Freud suggested that bad dreams let the brain learn to gain control over emotions resulting from distressing experiences. * Jung suggeste...... - 2008-12-20
