what is the smell after death? | The smell of death.\n\nThere's nothing else like it.\n\nAnd it's the hardest thing to deal with, especially when you make a living cleaning up after death.\n\nMarshall Mulloy, the owner of Paul Davis Restoration in the Philadelphia suburbs knows the smell well.\n\n"It's hard to cope with death and it's a depressing thing to have to go in after a suicide or homicide or even a natural death," he says. "The odor of the aftermath is something you don't forget."\n\nMulloy says his company has cleaned just about everything, including vehicles.\n\n"I've even done cars that were totaled after a deer went through the windshield," he says. "We've had guys that shot themselves in the head in their car and have cleaned it up for auction."\n\nhttp://www.officer.com/article/article.jsp?siteSection=18&id=26242 |

Although the Flyers have been able to beat Hasek in the past, so I'll keep my fingers crossed!\nOh, and Gagne needs to figure out that he can play without Forsberg, he's been awful since Forsberg got hurt. |
the main substrate for the secretion of ammonia in the kidney? | The Urea (or the Krebs-Hensliet) cycle outlines the mechanism by which ammonia is finally produced in the final reaction (involving Arginine, if I am right)\n\nAmmonia excretion can also be regarded as excretion of Nitrogen from different intermediates in the body. All of these N containing intermediates converge into the TCA cycle from where they become amino acids through enzymes known as deaminases or transminases. These amino acids converge to a common amino acid (alanine in humans, if i recollect well) which then travels to Kidney and initiates the UREA cycle to finally result in the production of Ammonia |

What is the worlds best mountain bike? | I'm partial to Turner frames. Check out the 5 Spot for an all around trail bike, the 6 Pack if you want more travel for aggressive riding, or the Flux for a lightweight trail bike that can hold its own on the race course.\n\nTurners are known for a great balanced ride feel, stiff/solid construction, and great customer service.\n\nNote: Turner recently changed the design of the suspension linkage on all their bikes. Reviews indicate no significant change to how the bikes ride, but if this is the sort of thing you care about, read through the reviews at mtbr.com. |

How can I safely open a geode? | One way to open a geode -- to reveal the crystals -- is with a chisel and hammer. Score the geode completely around the outside where you want it to crack -- usually in two equal halves. Keep going until it cracks and breaks apart. This will almost always work and won't damage the crystals. |

As someone who knows nothing about networking, how do I network my PCs with a wireless router? | That's assuming the main drive is labled C. This also only works for a Windows computer. What you failed to mention is how she will access information that has been set to be shared. First off, you want to set a password when your sharing a folder or drive. You should see a prompt when your setting share settings. To access a computer that has a shared drive, simply go to network neighborhood, find the computer by clicking on it, and you should be prompted to enter the password you earlier gave, then you have access to the files, you can drag/drop and even save files to other computers. |
what is the best way to stop smoking?? i have smoked for 20 years & need to stop...? | I myself am trying to quit, as of the day after Christmas. You'd think seeing my mom die from lung cancer when I was 29 years old would have been motivation enough. It is sooo hard, especially around your "triggers". For me, it's at home after work. My dad told me when he quit he would go for a walk or take a drink of water. I have tried them as well. I have not had luck with the patch nor the gum. I am trying cold turkey again. I have a straw I "inhale" at home .. just a straw. It seems to be working. Then I think about how gross it is and why I don't want to do it anymore. There's a great commercial out there that shows a dr saying he doesn't think he can operate and then a smoker saying I dont' think I can quit.\nI think the clincher for me is that my best friends kids are 13 and 14 and are both smoking. I was a little bit younger than that so I am trying to be a good example to them. I have to quit. \nI wish you success in the new year to quit smoking. |
did tookie get a fair deal? | Yes. He murdered four people in cold blood. Volumes of evidence were presented proving his guilt. Even the 9th Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, proven to be the most liberal, anti-death-penalty court in the nation, could not find sufficient cause to nullify the verdict. He received his fair trial, his fair appeals process. He continuously professed his innocence to delay (for nearly 30 years) his sentence, nothing more. He capitalized on the fact that American society, with it's EXTREMELY short attention span, would forget the horrific crimes he committed. He gambled on the possibility that we would forget what he did, become desensitized to it, and dismiss the jury's decision overly harsh. Some arguing in his defense tried to portray the jury as a bunch of racist white rich folks intent on "murdering another innocent black man" (it wasn't all-white, check the record). Fortunately, all of the right people saw through his charade, and ended his shennanigans, permanently. |
what is a keyloid and is it cancerous? | a keyloid is a scar that has gone wild... it is usually caused by a bad wound on your body... I had one on my ear from a piercing and I have known other people to get them after they have had an surgery. mine looks like a peanut hanging off my ear but the ones on the skin look like raise skin. NO it is not cancerous and can be treated if you see a doctor with injections or removal all together |

Does Stairway to Heaven really have secret messages? | Rock and Roll has so many really good legends and myths. Why not have secret messages? It adds to the whole of it all.

my laptop loses its broweser connection whenever i use P2P programs? | Probably the P2P application is taking control of your internet connection. |
Which should i join, the Navy or the Air Force? | Being a Navy wife for 30 years, I would say the Air Force. The brances go by reading levels. Air Force, Navy, Marine, Army are the levels. Then you want the pay. Same levels. Education, Medical, Dental is offered by all branches no difference. You want to get a job that pays good and one that advancement is in. It is all about time in and money. When the recuritor tells you you will be getting your Medical "Free" that used to make me laugh, because it comes out of your taxes you are paying for it. Not the president. No there is no money transpired, but you are still paying for it. If you want to go into the service, go to college first, go in as an officer not a civilian. Money money money. That is what you want to get. Your rate and rank has to go up.You will always be tested to achive a better rate. Now, it is a big commetment. You are going to get married to the service. There is no way out until your tour is up and then they ask you if you want to stay in. Will you be educated enough from the military to go out into the world and get a good paying job? Suppose you fall in love and get married, you cannot live on base unless you are a certain rate. Base living is very nice, but you are not making a lot of money. So now you have to live off base. Rent is high. So no marriage until your first tour is up get your education and your money. Better still, go to college before you go into any branch of the service. \nPlease go to college first. |
What is Python 1.5, and can i delete it from my computer? | Python is a computer language, much like Basic or C or Cobol is a language. It's an interpretive language, and so often when you install other software, Python is installed with it.\n\nPerhaps some program that you installed also installed Python. Several BitTorrent programs were written in Python. It's an open source language, so consider what programs you have installed recently. \n\nCan you delete it? Most likely. But there's a good chance that something won't run - probably just a software package that you picked up along the way. But if something stops running, you can always re-install Python.\n\nSee http://www.python.org |
What are good sound reasons for getting a divorce? | Watch for the red flags prior to marriage. But when in love, we often miss the red flags, so if that happens, here are what I consider serious and justifiable grounds:\n\nAdultery -- many people can't move past this. It's a physical betrayal, but also tears at you emotionally. I personally think it's one of the most difficult ones to resolve.\n\nAbuse -- physical or verbal. Verbal often gets overlooked, but it's namecalling, screaming at you rather than holding a normal conversation, talked down to, and did I mention yelling and screaming? If you ask the person a normal question, like "do you have any change for the toll?" and they start screaming that "all you do is harp about money," you've got a problem. Physical is obvious, but don't overlook punching walls, breaking dishes, etc. Watch out for signs of roughness or meanness to your children and pets too.\n\nControl Freaks: This is also a form of abuse, but these men want to know your every move, monitor your phone calls, read your email and voice mails, won't let you go to the mall alone, etc. Insist that if you get a new hairdo or buy a new dress, it must be because you're cheating with someone. This is usually disguised as jealousy which women may think lattering -- at first. Don't be fooled. Control freaks also don't want you to hold a job or have any money of your own. You must beg for an "allowance."\n\nFinancial: There are a lot of men who live off women. They have jobs when you meet them. Then, something happens, and it's always the company or bosses fault. They tell you they're out job hunting, but nothing is happening. Next comes laying around on the couch all day, sleeping, watching tv or guzzling beer. Weeks turn into months and it's just you working. Or, the person flits from job to job and can't hold a job. This man will plunge you right into financial ruin and guess what -- you can't get them out of the house all that easy, if it happens to be your house and not a joint home. Keep an eye out that they don't dip into your wallet. A dollar or two missing, here and there, usually becomes much more. You'll get behind on bills, your credit will suffer. Don't stand for this.\n\nAddictive behavior: Drugs, alchoholism, gambling. Will cause you nothing but stress, pain and financial hardship. Don't try to be the hero and "help" the person out of despair. Unless you are rich enough to get them into very good rehab, like the movie stars do, it probably won't work. Addicts can only be helped if they want to be and you'll be surprised how many enjoy the behavior and have no desire to give it up. I've seen men go to AA or a counseling session, come right out and stop at a bar. It is almost a joke with them. You may keep gamblers out of casinos, but they'll spend a whole paycheck on lottery tickets or the football pool.\n\nIllegal behavior: Selling drugs, stealing, pulls insurance scams, (or any scams), etc., RUN. He'll eventually get caught and you might get implicated too! Do you want his record to become yours?\n\nGood luck. |

when your boyfriend and you don't talk much yet how do you figure out how he feels about you.? | I'm generally a quiet person, and I was very quiet around my now-girlfriend when I first met her. I think that likely drove her crazy... because she couldn't tell how I felt about her. After we hooked up and started seeing each other more often, my feelings just came through. I couldn't hold them to myself. There was a need to share them with her that I just couldn't imagine keeping inside.\n\nBut that's me - and not everyone is the same. Some people are emotionally sheltered and prefer to keep their feelings hidden away. Body language, gestures, and general mood and disposition toward you can give you clues as to how your significant other really feels. The question you need to ask, when you're finding yourself actively looking for attention like this, is whether or not you can be happy in the long term under these circumstances.\n\nPeople are tough to change, and if this is something you need, and your significant other is having a hard time dealing with that... you may need to re-evaluate your situation, or have a long and frank discussion with them regarding this. |

Over hundreds of years, the glass in glass windows sinks down to the bottem. So is glass a liquid or a solid? | This is pretty much a question of the definition you are using.\n\nIn a strict definition, conventional solids have a crystalline structure. Under this definition, glass is a supercooled, highly viscous liquid rather than a conventional (crystalline) solid. \n\nIn many ways, glass acts like a solid. Using that behaviour as a criterion, glass is a solid. |
where did the phrase "this too shall pass" originate? | "This too shall pass" is the title of a poem by Helen Steiner Rice. \n\nThe almost identical phrase: "And this, too, shall pass away" has been traced to an Abraham Lincoln speech. \n\nIt could just be a deliberate reference to the Bible: "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." (Matthew 24:35 and elsewhere). \n\nApparently it was old Persian proverb and a Hebrew parable: \n\n... written three Hebrew letters on the gold band: gimel, zayin, yud, which began the words "Gam zeh ya'avor" -- "This too shall pass." |
Has Anyone ever read the book "To Kill a Mockingbird?"? | Yes.\n\nTo Kill a Mockingbird is a 1960 novel by Harper Lee, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1961. It was made into an Academy Award-winning motion picture starring Gregory Peck by director Robert Mulligan in 1962. A coming-of-age story, it is told from the point of view of Jean Louise "Scout" Finch, the young daughter of Atticus Finch, an educated lawyer in Maycomb, Alabama, a small town in the deep South of the United States. She is accompanied by her brother Jem and their mutual friend Dill.\n\nTruman Capote was a lifelong friend of childhood neighbor Lee, and allegedly was the inspiration for Dill's character in her best-seller. Capote frequently implied that he himself had written a considerable portion of her novel, and some have said he ghosted the entire novel. At least one person—Pearl Kazin Bell, an editor at Harper's— has gone on record as believing his assertions were true.\n\nThe title of the book is taken from Atticus's advice to his children about firing their air rifles at birds: "Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird". The blue jay is a very common bird, and is often perceived as a bully and a pest, whereas mockingbirds do nothing but "sing their hearts out for us". Metaphorically, several of the book's characters can be seen as "mockingbirds", attacked despite doing nothing but good. The mockingbird represents innocence, and to kill one is to metaphorically kill innocence. Note that the protagonists are also named after birds: Tom Robinson and the Finch family. However, "Finch" was also Lee's mother's maiden name.\n\nHarper Lee stated, "To get the ideas for the book I used recent events in my time like the Scottsboro Trials." (Harper Lee, Book Review, 1964)\n\nThe events of this book's publication and the following film are also subjects of the 2005 film Capote starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Truman Capote and Catherine Keener as Harper Lee. It is also an excellent film and will likely be considered in one category or another for an Academy Award. |
What is the meaning of Immanuel? | Immanuel means "God with us." It was used in the Biblical prophets to predict the coming of Jesus (Isaiah 7 and 8) and is referred to in Matthew 1, when the angel Gabrial announces the birth of Jesus to Joseph. Here's an excerpt from Matthew:\n\nThis is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. \n\n But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[c] because he will save his people from their sins." \n\n All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"[d]—which means, "God with us." \n\n When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. |
Do you generally care about other people, or simply live life for yourself? | Relationships with others enrich one's own life. While living for one's self can be rewarding in a more immediate sense, helping others give a sense of gratification that can't be matched by egoistic tendencies. |
Does anybody know what program allows you to use the satellite to discover another places? | I would say that at this time Google Earth is pretty much as good as it gets. It is an amazing program. Any other program would probably utilize the same satellite imagery. |
What are best general purpose binoculars for astronomy? | It depends. Just about any binoculars provide good view. Make certain you stay away from very strong magnifications, otherwise you will need a tripod to keep them steady and may get dizzy without it. The larger magnifications also limit your field of view. \n\nI have some 8x42 Nikons that are great. \n\nJust in case you are not aware: the first number given in the binocular is the magnification. Stick with 7 or 8. The 10s you will need the stabilization electronics or a mono/tripod. \n\nThe second number provides information on how much light comes through the lens. \n\nFor example...if you were to compare the same brand and model with the exception of the number difference: 8x25 vs 8x42: \n\nThe 8x25 will provide the same size image but the 8x42 will provide a brighter image. If you are thinking about purchasing online...before you do find a camera store or a sporting goods store to see how they feel and get a better feel for what you really want. Hope that helps...happy star viewing!\n\nAlso another possible source for help would be to see if there is a local star party group in your area. Drop by one night; it can be fun to meet some experienced viewers with telescopes already setup as well as some people who have the really large expensive scopes which you may not be able to afford. |

Is there anything one can do to "spice" up what appears to be a dull relationship (marriage)? | Here's a hint: Men like women to show initiative with romance and eroticsm--too often in relationships it's considered the "man's job" to get things moving! This will sound corny, but give it a shot: First, if you've got kids, send them to the grandparents for the night in advance without him knowing (say on a Friday). Next, turn off all the lights in the house and place scented candles in the bedroom and run a hot bubble bath just before he normally arives home. Have some wine and two wine glasses at the ready on the coffee table, and rose petals on the floor leading a trail to the bedroom--or whereever you're most memorable encounter that you can remember occurred. Personally, I like David Sanborn or some other smooth jazz playing in the background. Music is important to setting the mood, and if you've got cable or a dish, you can tune it to the music of your choice. Just before he gets home, slip into a nice satin & lace nightie and cover it with a heavy robe. When he gets to the door, be there waiting to flash him and let him know what you've got in store for the evening. Not in a crude way, mind you. Most importantly, take your time...don't rush. The anticipation of that which is to come will be as intense as the act itself. Hope that helps!\nPeace,\nJayZ |

What's it like, being in a relationship? | Not to complicate things or anything but it really depends on how each persons acts within a relationship. As long as each person asks like themselves and is not trying to put on an act to ipress the other person it can be great. Seeing that each one of you accept one another for who you are. \n On the other side if you feel like you have to be soembody you are not simply to get the other person to like you then the relationship is doomed to fail, because you will eventually get tired of not being yourself. The relationship will be horrible.\n Being in a relationship can be the greatest thing ever. All you have to do is comunicate and be yourself and you will be happy |
How are materials exchanged through capillaries? | Capillaries are thin-walled blood vessels in which gas exchange occurs. In the capillary, the wall is only one cell layer thick. Capillaries are concentrated into capillary beds. Some capillaries have small pores between the cells of the capillary wall, allowing materials to flow in and out of capillaries as well as the passage of white blood cells. Nutrients, wastes, and hormones are exchanged across the thin walls of capillaries. Capillaries are microscopic in size, although blushing is one manifestation of blood flow into capillaries. Control of blood flow into capillary beds is done by nerve-controlled sphincters. \n\n\nChanges in blood pressure, velocity, and the area of the arteries, capillaries, and veins of the circulatory system. Image from Purves et al., Life: The Science of Biology, 4th Edition, by Sinauer Associates (www.sinauer.com) and WH Freeman (www.whfreeman.com), used with permission.\n\nThe circulatory system functions in the delivery of oxygen, nutrient molecules, and hormones and the removal of carbon dioxide, ammonia and other metabolic wastes. Capillaries are the points of exchange between the blood and surrounding tissues. Materials cross in and out of the capillaries by passing through or between the cells that line the capillary. |

As a Freshmen starting college, is it better to go away for school or stay home in this day and age? | It is my personal opionion and personal observation that people who separate themselves from their parents at an early age do better in the long run. \n\nPeople who stayed home never grew up emotionally or became financially independant. Parents tend to enable kids staying kids for as long as personal.\n\nI am being honest about this knowing my kids will be ready to leave home soon enough and I will not want to see them go. |

where does berilum come from? | roito.. i'm no scientist, but the way i see it, since so many of our other elements have been hypothesized to be formed in a solar furnace, i'd take berilium to be no exception. it's probably just left over from the nebula that produced our solar system. However, astral bodies that collide with the earth also carry with them certain chemicals, so the source of berilium on this planet can also be attributed to some degree to those, as well. \nhere's a neat factoid for ye.. protein strains that are slammed into the earth at those fantastic speeds known to meteors, upon impact, form amino acids... if i can recall that episode of NOVA i saw on m'local PBS station correctly. ;) |

What's your favorite programming language? | Well, I just fell in love with Ruby, when I began to learn it a week ago... I've been programming for 15 years and had been seriously hoping to make my own language one of these days, because all the languages I was used to had severe limitations at every turn. I don't know how to explain all the reasons why I hate conventional languages, but let it suffice to say that Ruby lets you do virtually anything you want to do; it supports a wide variety of programming styles, and can do many things that are difficult or impossible in other languages, such as metaprogramming (the possibilities with this seem endless), arbitrarily changing existing classes (including built-in classes), coroutines (although you'll have to implement them yourself, since Ruby only has continuations built in), lightweight (non-OS) threads, closures, multiple inheritance (well, not exactly, but Ruby's "mixins" are just as good), "freezing" objects, and on and on.\n\nAlso, after reading through the online book Programming Ruby, I got the feeling that the designer and developer ("Matz") really knew what he was doing. The parts of the language fit together well and on the whole, the language is well rounded, with a feature for everyone.\n\nFinally, Ruby is easy to play with, because\n(1) you don't have do define a class and a method and write a ton of import/include/using statements (as in Java/C#/C++) -- code at the top level automatically runs (in a hidden method called "main", I think.)\n(2) you get the interactive interpreter called IRB, with which you can type statements and get immediate results. Multi-line statements (such as method and class definitions) are also allowed.\n\nThe one big problem with Ruby is that it is dynamically typed and interpreted, and thus very slow, although I've heard it is not much slower than Python or Perl.\n\nMy second favorite language is C# 2.0, which has most of the features I would want in a statically-typed language. (although there's certainly enough missing that I still wish I had time to develop my own language.) |

how do you get aids physically? do condom provideone of the best protection? | As far as I understand, there must be some body fluid contact, however small. AIDS virus is found in blood, semen and vaginal secretions but oddly enough, NOT saliva. \n\n"Fluid contact" usually involves sexual intercourse, but may also happen when sharing needles, recieving contaminated blood etc. \n\nNot having sex at all provides the best protection, condoms are second best. In addition to condoms, good lubrication is also important, as it prevents the condom from breaking, and small skin abrasions from occuring. Your best bet is to use condoms and KY Jelly -- it's cheap & easy to apply (I wonder why so many people don't use it!). \n\nCondoms are not 100% safe, of course, but neither is driving to work in the morning.\n\nAIDS risk from unprotected o-r-a-l sex is low, but there are other things you can catch that way. A-n-a-l sex is very risky, abrasions are more likely to appear since lubrication often inadequate.\n\n( Yahoo Answers censors some words, hence the dashes. What a silly policy -- does AIDS advice need to be censored? I bet if I used really, really, nasty language, the filter would not catch them. ) |
what kind of a person does it take to be a surgical technologist? | You have to be a person that is detail oriented and like to see gross stuff. The surgical Tech usually finishes up what the doctor doesn't want to do, at times you will have to sew up the incision. They also have to account for all the stuff hta the doctors uses(gauze, scissors, and all of the instruments). They have to make sure that everything is accounted for so that it is not inside the person before the person is sewed up. It is a fun job but you have to like the work if you go into the field, but for the most part it is fun. The school part of it is hard but it is worth the work for the pay. |

What are some treatment options for a herniated disc in the lower spine? | The initial treatment for a herniated disc is usually conservative and nonsurgical. Your doctor may prescribe bed rest, or advise you to maintain a low, painless activity level for a few days to several weeks. This helps the spinal nerve inflammation to decrease. herniated disc is frequently treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication if the pain is only mild to moderate. An epidural steroid injection may be performed utilizing a spinal needle under x-ray guidance to direct the medication to the exact level of the disc herniation. Your doctor may recommend physical therapy. Therapy may include pelvic traction, gentle massage, ice and heat therapy, ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, and stretching exercises. Pain medication and muscle relaxants may also be beneficial in conjunction with the physical therapy. If these conservative measures do not help, then usually surgery is indicated. |

Do aliens exist? Are they on this planet right now? | They don't exist.\n\nThey exist and have a level of technology similar or less advanced then we have.\n\nThey exist and have a superior level of technology.\n\nIf they have our level or a lesser level of technology it is not likely that we would know about them. With our current ability to communicate long distances it would take thousands of years to get a signal from the nearest galaxy, or to travel those distances. \n\n\nIf the have a superior level of technology we would probably not be able to detect them. \n\nSo, it is possible given the size and scope of the universe, however, it would be damn hard to prove. |

What is the difference between religion and psychiatry? | Well Just a mom. You're having a cranky day aren't you. There is bad Psychiatry and there is bad Religion. Somebody in Med school and Seminary had to make the C's and D's. I think it is a little over the top to think that either Psychiatry or Religion is bad. I think it makes more sense to believe that I have a bad Psychiatrist or I have a bad Minister. A lot of people have better lives and believe that they have greater freedom because of the impact of Psychiatry or Religion on their lives. Not all of them are stupid. There are some people smarter than either of us who are solidly convinced that both Psychiatry and Relgion are real and that they can be complimentary. You have to decide what you believe and be prepared to deal with how your beliefs serve you or fail you. |

Why do people say 'pardon my french' when they cuss? | Taken from the included link: "This phrase, in which French refers to "bad language", is employed when the speaker feels compelled to use an obscenity despite having listeners who might be offended. It's a late 19th century euphemism which first appeared in Harper's Magazine in 1895.\n\nIt is thought that the term French is employed in this sense as it already had a history of association with things considered vulgar. As far back as the early 16th century, French pox and the French disease were synonyms for genital herpes, and French-sick was another term for syphillis. The OED also equates the adjective French with "spiciness", as in French letter for "condom", French kiss (1923) and French (i. e. "sexually explicit") novels (from 1749)." |
How did they decide how many time zones there were going to be and where the lines to divide them would be? | Each country is in charge of determining time zones and each have passed laws to create them.

what is the jewish custom of putting rocks on a graveto show love and care for the deceased? | The custom of placing stones on a grave or gravestone may hearken back to the biblical custom of erecting a pile of stones over a grave as a marker. It may also reflect the importance of visitation to the grave, with the stone indicating that someone has been to visit.\n\nRabbi David Wolpe suggests that in ancient times, a shepard counted his sheep at the beginning of the day by carrying the corresponding number of stones, and these were used to ascertain that the same number returned at night. Rabbi Wolpe then suggests that thestones may symbolize how precious each soul is to God, who, as it were, 'counts" each person in the world.\n\n--> |

Does clemens(houston) will pitch the next season? | It's the one million dollar question in baseball circles right now. Or maybe not, but it certainly has been headlining quite a few articles at various sports sites on the net.\n\nAt this point, its up in the air. I think the past season wore on Clemens and that he's ready to call it quits. But, since he will be training and working on staying in shape for the WBC, it's possible that he could carry that into the regular season and play one more season. Staying with Houston would seem to make the most sense for him, but you know that the Yanks, Red Sox and Rangers will be interested (as well as a handful of other clubs) and may make things interesting. |
