are there any christians here on R&S?
Ive been more careful recently… ive noted that satans grasp on this world has increased and there are many ‘fake’ christians out there to delude and make many ‘real’ christians to be lead astray from god

and so, i turn to the bible to find THE REAL CHRISTIANS. christians who will go to heaven as they are actually chrisitans and not posers.

And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.
These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
- Jesus himself

in fact, just to be careful… if you do drink bleach, play with snakes and cure cancer by touch…

For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
-Jesus himself

ive always wanted to go to Everest, but Australia isnt close enough, use your prayer to give some divine awesome and teleport everest to australia… then share such a spectacle and teleport it to Guinea-Bisseu, Germany, Brazil, above Newyork floating, antarctica and Cyrus please.
that is of course.. IF you have faith…

good luck, may the Jesus (force) be with you

-Friendly Neighbourhood Atheist
(teleporting the mountain to me is selfish, simply teleport it anywhere where there is significant news coverage. then go to a terminally ill ward and start touching their elbows cure them of cancer!!

show the world you are a christian and not some demon in disguise.
sorry for the long windedness, but i feel real christians should have no trouble with performing these feats. :D
Peachfuzz, im going to call you an imposter until you meet Jesus’ criteria.
Seth J
//and you calling out people because they don’t behave like you want?//
no, i just want proof they are christians and to just perform some menial tasks like teleporting everest a couple times around the world.

Chief David
proof? has everest teleported around yet?

You have no idea of what Christ is saying here, do you?
Peachfuzz | Sep 30, 2009


and you calling out people because they don’t behave like you want? That’s Christ like? Yea right………..

worry about you,…………not everyone else…….
Seth J | Sep 30, 2009


Yes
Chief David M | Sep 30, 2009


whats a christian?
Sparky | Sep 30, 2009


Keep reading, you will gain more insight into what is necessary to be a Christian.

In your research for this question, you probably found just as much stuff that didn’t fit your template that you ignored, as stuff that did fit your template of a few things taken out of context.

This is what I don’t like about R/S. I cant change your mind, you have already decided that before you asked your question. You are taking things out of context to make fun of religion, and show disrespect to God.

Your giving me too much authority here. Why don’t you pray directly to God and tell him yourself how much you don’t believe in him. Who knows, maybe he hasn’t heard it all already yet.

Mortuary

Mortuary
Mortuary (2005)

IMDB rating: 7.00

Plot: Deerhaven has been burdened by disappearances for more than two decades and local officials have come up empty as no trace of the missing have ever been found. An eccentric psychiatrist with questionable credentials comes to town implicating the local mortician, Henry Parks. Claiming to be Henry’s former doctor from a facility where Henry had been institutionalized, Dr. Gronig suggests that the mortician may not have been suitable for release and may be using his father’s parlor as a cover for deeper, darker things. During the same week four young college students plan for the local Friday night bash, but Monte has bigger plans for them. He wants to do something different and takes them from party to the local mortuary for a kinky midnight treat. The problem is that some of the doctor’s implications may have been true and for Monte, Sky, Tina and Tony, this will be a night they will never forget. That is if they survive.

Directors: Hooper Tobe

Actors: Byrd Dan,Carson Price,Travis Greg,Mystery,Thriller,Horror

What universities in Canada offer mortuary or forensic science?
I’ve tried searching google for universities in Canada that offer courses and degrees in mortuary science, or forensic science, since I would like to be a mortician or an embalmer. But I haven’t had any luck so far. Does anyone know of any universities in the country that offer such courses? Or where I might have better luck searching for universities that offer them?


Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario has a forensic department and you can major in forensics there. I majored in Biomedical bio in LU for 4 years, so I know for sure that forensics is offered there. But I’m not sure of any other universities in Canada that would offer that. You’re best bet would be to just manually search for Canadian universities and visit their websites. There you can find contact info and ask them directly, or just search through their sites yourself.
Hope this was helpful :)
All the best!

Rogue
Rogue (2007)

IMDB rating: 7.00

Plot: An idyllic wildlife cruise disintegrates into terror when a party of tourists are stalked by a massive man-eating crocodile. Pete McKell, a cynical American travel writer, joins a disparate group of holiday-makers on a river cruise through the waters of Kakadu National Park. Initially Pete clashes with their tour captain, Kate, a feisty young woman who assumes he is just another ‘city-slicker’ in search of a quick thrill. After an uneventful day cruising the river, Kate is reluctantly persuaded to steer their boat into unexplored territory. They discover a secluded lake but terror strikes when their craft receives a powerful blow from beneath the murky depths and begins to sink. With little choice, she beaches the vessel on the closest dry land -a tiny mud island. With a rising tide and only half an hour of daylight left, fear grips the group as they realize they are trapped in the lair of a ‘rogue’ crocodile, governed only by its need to hunt and kill. Begrudgingly, Pete and Kate join forces to keep hysteria at bay and in the process start to see beyond their initial impressions. Their first attempt to escape fails, but then Pete has an idea – they must trap the crocodile to enable the group to flee to the other side of the island whilst Kate swims for help. Pete volunteers to stand guard, but without warning, the beast breaks free and targets Kate who fails to resurface. As darkness descends and the muddy waters rise, a terrifying struggle ensues with only one probable outcome death.

im writing a book too if u need help justy email me at www.pink73@yahoo.com

I have already written 4 books and they have been published, if you would like any advice let me know and I will try and help. Do you have a publisher?
Willow Moon | Feb 03, 2010


Just a heads up – an author of a YA or Adult book receives 10% royalties and if you write with someone else you split that in half (so a $10.00 book sold gives you $1.00 return so 1000 books have to be sold for your publisher to get $10,000.00 and for you to get $1000.00 of that divided by two for both of you). It is not easy collaborating with someone else and you have to make sure that the book is in "one voice". If you take turns writing it or one writes a passage that both like and it fits between what the other has written it will be obvious to the reader and difficult to read as it will feel disjointed.

Why not write the book yourself and join a writer’s group – that way you’ll get the best of both worlds; the support and full royalties.

Jurassic Park III
Jurassic Park III (2001)

IMDB rating: 5.60

Plot: Eight years after the InGen incident, Dr. Alan Grant is happy with his life far from any dinosaurs other than fossilized. Unfortunately, he is extremely short in research money, and therefore accepts the offer of wealthy businessman Paul Kirby: A low flight over isolated Isla Sorna, where InGen’s second research site was located, and Dr. Grant can fund his future research for a long time. What Dr. Grant didn’t know is that Kirby just needs a dinosaur expert to help him and his wife find their 14-year-old son Eric, who crashed on the island while paragliding. What he did suspect, but never wanted to witness, is that the Velociraptors have evolved into a communicating species (and seemingly all along had the capability to do so), now being smarter than primates.

IMDB rating: 7.10

Plot: The film revolves around Park Hee-bong, a man in his late 60s. Park runs a small snack bar on the banks of the Han River and lives with his two sons, one daughter, and one granddaughter. The Parks seem to lead a quite ordinary and peaceful life, but maybe a bit poorer than the average Seoulite. Hee-bong’s elder son Gang-du is an immature and incompetent man in his 40s, whose wife left home long ago. Nam-il is the youngest son, an unemployed grumbler, and daughter Nam-joo is an archery medalist and member of the national team. One day, an unidentified monster suddenly appears from the depths of the Han River and spreads panic and death, and Gang-du’s daughter Hyun-seo is carried off by the monster and disappears. All the family members are in a great agony because they lost someone very dear to them. But when they find out she is still alive, they resolve to save her.

awardspace hosting problem 10 points best answer!!!!!!!!?
well i have a website called gamesrme.com and im using awardspace.com as my publishing guy and im usually working on it but the minute i get up to go do something for five minutes it automatically logs me out and erases all the work ive done and makes me go all the way to the spot where i was working in after i have to type in my password again which is like one of those 84jc83o32 passwords and then to get to the part where i was working it takes about 100 clicks and loading takes forever so if you could help me ill be really grateful.


If its really 5 minutes, this is something you should tell AwardSpace about.

Other than that, you can probably access it using FTP to transfer your files without having to be logged in constantly. I like using WinSCP for this, but some people like CuteFTP. They are both free. There should be instructions on AwardSpace regarding accessing your files this way. All hosts that I’ve come across have this option.

Small Town Folk
Small Town Folk (2007)

IMDB rating: 3.90

Plot: There is a place… a place called Grockleton, wherein, high on a hill-top stands the lonely Beesley’s Manor, governed by the villainous ‘Landlord’ and his lowly male counterparts (Pooch, Pike and the diesel-swilling Dobbin). Always on the look-out for new female company to help carry on the Beesley name, the Landlord keeps a watchful eye over Grockleton and anyone who dares to enter his land. When three improbable heroes stumble unsuspectingly into the Beesley’s realm they are cruelly snared into a menacing hunt and an unstoppable frenzy of heart racing mayhem! Will the Landlord triumph and collect his ‘trophies’ (and maybe even a future bride?), or can the unlikely trio be victorious against him in his own game?…

Is a person required to report seeing a murder?
If someone witnesses a murder from a short distance away, are they required by law to report it and therefore become involved or can you just know what you know and keep quiet without being prosecuted if it is ever known later? A 27 yr old kid in our small community has been thieving since his early teenage years while his parents, the law, and courts just keep turning him loose because everyone knows everyone around here. The guy down the road has been burglarized twice and caught the kid this last time inside his garage gathering tools to pawn in another town. He blew him straight to hell in a hand basket, dug a hole as deep as his backhoe would reach, and tossed him in. I see no reason to say anything about witnessing this since it’s long past due that someone did something to stop the crime wave this punk has been creating on hard working country folks. Even the local cops have said they aren’t interested in knowing what happened to him and as far as they are concerned he just left town and crime has ceased around here and it’s best left that way. They’ve also let it be known that if anyone does know what happened to him, it would be best all around to keep it to yourself. I know that our small town cops practice logic and friendship much more than the letter of the law because it just works better and we don’t have the problems that city folks do but I also know that it only takes one idiot to stir up a hornets nest. Anyway, if there are any law enforcement people on here that can give me some solid advice, it would be greatly appreciated.


Yes, if you do not report it you can be considered an accessory to murder.

I think in this particular case, the town’s authorities are partially to blame for not prosecuting the kid for his crimes.
Allen | Jan 09, 2010


In general rule, it is up to the person involved whether to report the incident or what he or she saw either murder or whatever to the police or not. Because reporting such incident not only jeopardizing the life of the person but also his or her family. That is why in a very important crime or case, most witnesses are place in WPP or witness protection program. Because the government including the police agency cannot compel a witness to expose what she or he saw in the commission of a crime. That is why other non-government agency are giving money for people to come out of the open and reveal the truth. Because money has the motivation for the person to reveal what he or she knows about the crime.
delive_rance | Jan 09, 2010


Yes you are required to report it or you can be declared an accessory to the crime. Though in your situation reporting it may not make anything happen, so you would have to go to the State police and report it to them if your local police did not do anything about it.

Condescending Jobs-worth boss and 'anal' backstabbing co-workers.?
OK i’ll try and keep this short.

In short i have been out of the military for a year now, where I have project managed 10 people on a few electrical projects and the like. Now have taken a job on the railways. However the past year has been a rollercoaster of experience good and bad. I started off with one department and found that to be very bitchy and clicky. I tried to fit in, but learning the job was difficult when people won’t tell you the information or where to find it. I tolerated this behavour for 6 months trying to be patient, kind etc… ‘biding my time…’.

Then i changed to another Department. after i got fed up of this behavour. All was going fine, until the my boss got promoted (same boss just he has a different title and salary). and now has spent the past 3 months being a condesending little W***r (he is in his early 30’s).

I have enjoyed my time here until 3 months ago. The problem is the boss i have is always chasing for his full promotion (he’s assistant manager, looking for full manager, now the vacancy is empty). He watches his back so carefully, always wanting things written down etc.. He’ll ask favours but never really give them in return; when he does you have to be ‘ticked off’ in a mental ‘favours book’ in his head. If you refuse overtime etc… He officiously tells you OK, gets all lordy and then ask someone else; reminding you that don’t ask him for overtime in future (even though he has clearly stated no overtime, we only get it if he’s in a fix!)

He micro-manages the smallest thing. He’s always, always on about health and safety. He can never give a straight answer to any question regarding what might affect you. Any sense of acheivement you have from doign a job is quicky removed with a critial reveiw of : ‘why didn’t you do this’ or ‘why has it took this long’, ’so and so would have done it like this’, ‘is there a training issue’, ‘You need to be more proactive’ etc… it just seems any amount of work you do for this thankless B****rd is never enough. Also he questions everything you do, and never backs you up EVER!!! Unless its for his own face gain. I’m not the only person this is happening too though…

Then there is the 2 coworkers, his number 2’s. (I work as part of a 4 man rotating shift team, one of us on at a time). Who complain and bitch about his analness behind his back, how bad a boss he is etc… but then behind the back of the guy you have replaced shifts as soon as he is gone they slag him off. One of these Number 2’s has his eye on a management position and althought a nice guy i don’t trust him (I worked alongside him since the start of my time, until 3 months ago). He tries to ring me off shift when he drives home, for infornmation and a gossip. I have taken to turning my phone off (I luckily changed contract so have given a PAYG number as my ‘Real’ phone). As i don’t want to hear about work.

I have held out for 3 months. I am getting more snappy and irritable at home. I suffer from depression anyways. but this really isn’t helping. I’m losing all faith in my abilities! As i feel i may be actually clueless in my trade afterall… Help!!
I forgot to mention, that he lords it up over all 6 of us. and any ‘grammatiacl errors’ in speaking or writing, he’s quick to correct you in front of co-workers. making you feel liek a complete cretin! I have had this 1st hand. Also have seen him do it to others. its unreal! I thought the military were bad!
Andy W. I have a feeling deep down you might be right, but i’d like to do a job where i’m not having to learn and be made tofeel a T**t for not knowing stuff. that i’m supposed to guess at.

Think i might take the gamble an try set up on my own.


Welcome to the civilian world.
You could leave and hope to find somewhere better or you can stay and put up with it.

The likelyhood is that if you leave and find another job then the situation will be similar.

As ex military (signals) myself albeit it from a fair time ago, I can tell you that you will encounter this sort of thing on a regular basis.

You either have to put up with it or get out.

Work with the c**** I work with then moan about your working environment!
Hereigo | Jan 09, 2010


Sounds like a normal working environment.
Random | Jan 09, 2010


My brother went through something similar and he’d worked at the place for 10+yrs until it ‘changed’ and he had only one person to cope with, but that’s all it takes. In the end he got another job (similar work, different employer and area) and he’s been much happier.

I would suggest if you can change jobs then do so as you’ve got too much of a fight on your hands there. If you’re ex-military you could try something completely different work wise like Military Fitness – definitely the right time of year to do it. Else try other sites like Jobcentre and Monster and get the hell out of there!
Joanne | Jan 09, 2010


It’s quite simple, you are unable to change people’s personality, so you either have to stick with it – or start looking for another job.

Are most of Knotts Berry Farm Rides strong?
The last time I went to knotts berry farm was when I was 6 year old and I didn’t go to any heavy rides. And I’m going with my science class next 2 weeks and had no idea which one to go on to. And I’m just wondering if Silver Bullet/Ghost Rider/ Sierra Side Winder/ etc….are Scary. Well not scaryy but like will it leave a sore body after going on it? My sis had went to the Xcelerator and GhostRider and had a pain in her neck for 2 months..But had no idea which ride it was..SO im just wondering..Will i feel like puking after any of those rides? I’m 13 btw xD


Ummmm…sometimes you do get pain from it, but usually if you go to any amusement park you have pain. Ghost Rider gives you pain because it shakes ALOT. So it jerks your head. And Xcelerator, it takes of REALLY fast… so it may have given your sister nack pain because she didnt put her haed back like the guy said to do. But all the rides are worth the pain and none of the rides are scary. So have fun while your there. Say hi to Snoopy for me!
