Tell me what you think?
This is sort of a poem i don’t know how to describe it, i’ve been through alot lately and its one of the rare times my guitar is of no help, so i started writing and this is what came out.

What to do
The strings vibrate
But it doesn’t resonate within you
The beauty of music is not the sound
but your experiences meshing with it
Reflecting the past back to you
When Trauma drains the emotion from you
it doesn’t reflect
it absorbs the sound
trying to fill the emptiness
but i can’t, and it won’t
u must wait for the emotion to drip the from the faucet
and fill the basin which his your heart
Time
so bittersweet
It steals my days
Yet brings me closer to the day
Where the sound resonates again


this is actually very unique and well executed. it hits close to home where something so important to the writer still cannot help him in the worst times of need. it almost speaks of finding hope through hopeless days. if you would like to share your work, I would without a doubt recomend allpoetry.com great job

Help?

what can i bake with these ingredients?
from a fail blondie experiment (they came out too dark i guess because i used dark brown sugar instead of light and mixed chocolate chips in which ended up melting but they still tasted good regardless) what can i make with these ingredients so i can use them up and have them not go bad in my pantry? ( i enjoy baking but i dont have alot of time due to working and school. luckily thanks to the snow storm ive found myself alot of time :p)

dark brown sugar (alot)
baking powder (alot)
flour (i just need to get rid of it so i can get a new bag)
plain white granulated sugar (again just gotta get rid of it)
raspberry preservatives (i used it for cheesecake topping and again need to get rid of it)

maybe a scone recipe or again anything im willing to try something new :)


water.
Live. It's all you can do. | Feb 07, 2010


To make anything with those ingredients, you’d need eggs and milk and butter or oil as well. Then you could make cake or donuts, and spread the raspberry preserves on them.
Joanne | Feb 07, 2010


if you have butter and eggs you could make thumbprint cookies.
Brian | Feb 07, 2010


None of the things you listed go bad if stored correctly. I wish I had the luxury of tossing things out just so I could get a new one.
Lisa | Feb 07, 2010


It is always useful to have baking powder, flour, and sugar. I mean, They are basic kitchen essentials.
KingMan | Feb 07, 2010


Agree, those are basic supplies that stores long, and you will want to always have them in your kitchen! They usually keep for up to a year.

If you don’t have much time to bake, then make pancakes for weekend brunches. I go with about one cup of flour, 3/4 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of melted butter, one egg, dash salt, a tablespoon white or brown sugar, 3 tablespoons baking powder.

Raspberry preserves usually go on top of pancakes after frying, but if you like to give the batter an interesting pink colour you might like to mix about 3-4 spoonfuls in the batter. Then you can either use some more on top of the pink pancakes, or roll the pancakes in dark brown sugar topping. If you like, you can also make thinner pancakes by adding more milk.

If you make 2-3 batches, you can invite friends over for a pancake party. It will be an inexpensive way to treat your friends and have a fun afternoon together, and your ingredients will run out fast.
Mizz G | Feb 07, 2010


Refined flour only keeps for about 8 months. It can go bad.
shelf life of baking powder last 3 to 6 months.

You can use the brown sugar to make candied yams or carrots.
Just add 1/4 cup of butter to the sauce pan open can of yams or carrots and pour in a cup of brown sugar. It will make a sweet syrup like broth.

If the flour is still good and baking soda

pan cakes
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 table spoons oil or soften butter

Mix all ingredients and fry in hot pan. Splash a little water by flicking you wet finger on pan If it sizzles it is hot enough. Put a little oil in pan a pour small amount in pan. When edges start to dry a little and some of the holes left from bubbles do not close it is time to flip with spatula.

When don remove from pan to plate and spoon on raspberry preserves and eat any time of day is OK.

3 cups all purpose flour (more or less, as needed)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp. vanilla or almond extract

Stir together flour and salt and set aside.
Mix sugar into the butter.
Then add the rest of the ingredients.
Divide into four portions and refrigerate for an hour.
Flour a flat surface and roll out dough to about a 1/4 inch thick after it had sometime out of the refrigerator.
Use cookie cutter or glass to cut out cookies from the dough.
Bake on cookie sheet at 350 10 to 15 minutes.

IMDB rating: 7.70

Plot: This movie transplants the classic tale of “Romeo and Juliet” to New York City in the 1950s. The two feuding families are replaced by brawling street gangs. The Montagues become the Anglo Jets, led by Riff (Russ Tamblyn), and the Capulets become the Puerto Rican Sharks, led by Bernardo (George Chakiris). At a dance, Tony (Richard Beymer), former leader of the Jets and Riff’s best friend, and Maria (Natalie Wood), Bernardo’s little sister, see each other across the room and it’s love at first sight. With opposition from both sides, they meet secretly and their love grows deeper. However, the gangs are plotting one last rumble, a fight that will finally end the battle for control of the streets. Will Tony and Maria’s love carry through a battle that threatens to destroy the people they love around them? With a young, talented cast, a gorgeous score and dance sequences that need to be seen to believe, West Side Story is a must-see!

I'm looking for a good audition piece, preferably from a Broadway musical, for a mezzo soprano?
I’m 14, female, freshman in high school, so something okay for that age would be preferable. Musicals I am most familiar with: Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, Beauty and the Beast, Les Miserables, Lion King, West Side Story, Hair, Hairspray, Guys and Dolls, Annie, Bye Bye Birdie, South Pacific, Finian’s Rainbow, Wicked, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Avenue Q, Applause, Sugar, Aladdin, pretty much all disney that kind of music. if you think anything from one/some of those musicals would be especially good I would like to know because it would be nicest to do something familiar but I’m open to anything. to get a sense of my range: I’m Not That Girl from Wicked, that last note is low for me, possible but difficult and doesn’t show my voice off as well; the high note in Seasons of Love from Rent is almost reachable for me, but my voice starts cracking so a few notes below that would be kind of the limit for highest notes because I want it to be my voice at its best. Thanks!

Teens: What is the most?
Has anything happened this week to you, that made you feel great? Like almost proud of yourself?

Yesterday my co-worker came up to me and told me how great I look and how I must be losing a lot of weight. It made me very proud because I have been working out to lose 20 pounds and I guess it has been paying off. I have never been heavy, but I am toning up and trying to lose the weight I put on. I am so happy that I am starting to get results for my hard work.

BQ: One of the best movies you have seen in a long time, that people might make fun of you for.

Mine is The Frog Princess. I loved the music and it was so good. It made me laugh and cry and dance. I just love old school Disney and this was so much like the old movies.
Oh and I loved All About Steve. I bawled my eyes out ha ha. No one else seems to like it but I thought it was great!


Yes! Yes! Yes! Yesterday was the best day ever.
I finally got the nerve to talk to my crush & it went exceptionally well.
He kept smiling at me & we were walking together.

Good job with the losing weight thing! I wish you luck.

BQ: Well, I liked "Bedtime Stories" & everyone said it was a dumb movie. Lol

Umm.. when I went to the gym yesterday, I weighed myself and I’m down to 116 pounds. It feels so good.

I work at a grocery store as a check out chick. A few days ago, a three year old girl told me I was the fastest person at scanning groceries she’d ever seen. It was so cute. Then yesterday, a girl with Downes Syndrome who comes through my register a lot and chats to me told me I looked pretty today. Made my day :)

BQ: Old Dogs. You know that one with Robin Williams and John Travolta? It was really funny! But all my friends would think it was lame and daggy.

Sex and the City: The Movie

The Movie
Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)

IMDB rating: 5.40

Plot: After moving in together in an impossibly beautiful New York apartment, Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big make a rather arbitrary decision to get married. The wedding itself proves to be anything but a hasty affair—the guest list quickly blooms from 75 to 200 guests, and Carrie’s simple, label-less wedding gown gives way to an enormous creation that makes her look like a gigantic cream puff. An upcoming photo spread in Vogue puts the event—which will take place at the New York Public Library—squarely in the public eye. Meanwhile, Carrie’s girlfriends—Samantha, the sexpot; Charlotte, the sweet naif; and Miranda, the rigid perfectionist—could not be happier. At least, they couldn’t be happier for Carrie. Charlotte still has the unrealized hope of getting pregnant. Samantha is finding a loving, committed relationship more grueling than she could have imagined. Miranda unwittingly lets her own unhappiness—created when Steve admits to cheating on her just once—spoil Carrie’s. After a heated encounter with Steve, she happens to spot Mr. Big and tells him he’s crazy to get married. She’s really only thinking of her own marriage. But her angry remark gets Mr. Big to thinking.

Six Feet Under & Sex and the City, should christians watch these shows?
I’ve decided to get rid of all my horror movies, due to my faith, and I don’t want demonic things in my house (such as freddy kruger, chucky, sweeney todd, saw ect)

I have my series, six feet under and sex and the city, do you think christians should watch these shows? They’re my 2 favorite shows in the world and I’d hate to give them away.

What are your thoughts? Please only respond if you’ve SEEN these shows, thanks.


As a Christian, I say NOBODY should watch these shows. They’re terrible. Nobody should subject themselves to that type of IQ-reducing punishment.

As far as the horror flix, you could have at least picked "The Exorcist" or something along those lines to remove from your house. The ones you mentioned are just silly fake blood fun.
Kyle | Feb 03, 2010


It’s your choice.
but if you are a christian and you want to "not sin" which is impossible..
then I suggest you not watch them.
Danniesaurus | Feb 03, 2010


Well…I think you need to listen to what God is telling you to do. You see, the analogy that is used in the bible is grape vines. God prunes the branches (us) so we can produce more fruit. He takes away what is unhealthy, and allows you to see him clearly without a curtain seperating you. There is this video that represents sin taking us away from God, though does not directly relate to movies…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyheJ480L YA
Luke Chapter 6 verses 43-45
43"No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. 45The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.

I can’t find the exact verses…

What do you think of this?? :^)?
Almost every morning, i wake up and my cat, Lumpy, is sticking his head in the toilet bowl like a dog. One day, i watched him. He sticks his paw in the water and licks it. I don’t know if he likes that water or what but he knows he has a water fountain downstairs. I think he gets like drunk or high off the water because even if you scream his name he doesn’t get out of the bowl. You have to pick him up (because his paws are clinging to the seat and his head is in the bowl) and bring him somewhere else. Then, he lays down in the middle of the bathroom and even if you nudge him, he just lays there like a lump (know wonder his name is lumpy, right?). This is kind of a new thing for him since the past month or so. Can you tell me why he does this and if it’s healthy?? Should i keep the bathroom door closed?? Thank you if you answer. :^)
The toilet lid on my toilet is turned the opposite way as decoration, i cant close the lid. :^)


Unless it truly annoys you, no you don’t have to do anything. It is perfectly normal behavoir. I would close the bathroom door to stop Lumpy, though.
Twitter | Jan 31, 2010


If you use some kind of cleaner in the toilet like drop in bleach or something, then definitely keep the door (or at least the lid) closed. If not he’s probably just discovered best place in the house to get fresh water since his fountain water probably isn’t changed out as often as the toilet is flushed.
a | Jan 31, 2010


LOL… I don’t know that I can help with Lumpy, but do know he has a "twin". The only solution I know is to keep the toilet lid down. I let Poppy watch the toilet flush, but as soon as she tries to touch I pick her up and lower the lid… show’s over at that point.
sagacious_ness | Jan 31, 2010


I don’t know a scientific reason why cats do that, but I’ve been told it has to do with fresh water. Also, cats can taste water, unlike humans, so some water sources may taste better than others!
Aras | Jan 31, 2010


I seriously do not have an answer for this one except that he loves toilet water… I am constantly having to keep my bathroom door shut since my cat either gets into the toilet water or lays in front of the toilet. I think your story is hilarious. Just let your kitty be himself, but shut your bathroom door… Kudos to you for addressing a problem we all (cat lovers) have dealt with in such a comedic way!!! I am giving you a star!!!

muslims why do you think the quran is the word of god when it has soooooo many scientific and logical errors?
Quran 86;7 "semen comes from the backbone and ribs"
testicles?

Quran 51;49 "everything created in pairs"
asexuals?

Quran 11;5 "thoughts of the breast (heart)"
what happened to the brain?

Quran 67;5 stars are ‘missiles to drive away devils’
no comment

Quran 65;12 - theres supposedly "7 earths (or planets)"
i thought our solar system has 8 planets plus 4 dwarf planets ?

quran 71;15/16 "moon in the midst of 7 heavens"
this is false, the moon is the nearest natural object to us, so is NOT in the midst of stars
stars are much further away

Quran 21: 33 "And the Sun and Moon; both of them Swim (float) along in its rounded course"
this comparison is false, the sun does not have an orbit like the moon

quran 76;13 "moon has excessive cold"
i thought the moon doesnt radiate any coldness?

Qur’an, 71:15 "placed the moon as a light"
the moon has no light. the word reflected does not appear in this sentence

quran 91;2 "the moon follows the sun"
this is false, the moon has its own orbit

Quran 18;86 "sun sets in a muddy pool"
thats impossible

86;6 "man created from a drop emitted"
this is false. the quran is ignorant of the female role with her egg.

Qur’an, 30:1 romans will win a war in a few years
is that the best prediction an omnipotent god can do? why not predict darwin or something?

Quran 21: 32 "And We have made the sky a roof"
thats false, the sky is not concrete

Quran 24;45 "every creature … walk on bellies, two legs and 4 legs"
this is false. theres 8 legged, 6 legged etc.

quran 21;30 "heaven n earth used to be joined together"
no they never. thats just off the mark

quran 16;15 "allah dropped down mountains"
this is false, mountains are from the folding of the Earth’s
crust, or by the collision of continental plates via plate tectonics

Quran 96: 2 "Created man, out of a mere clot"
a blood clot cannot grow into anything

Quran 5;97 "muslims are protected in mecca"
this is false, Juhayman al-Otaybi, Abd-Allah ibn al-Zubayr, and abu Tahir al-Janabi killed thousands
of muslim pilgrims without intervention of "baked stones" (Quran 105;4) from Allah

Qur’an, 96:15 "We will grab him by the forelock, a lying, sinful forelock"
this is false. man uses various areas of the brain when deceitful. not just the front

Quran 6;38 "nothing have we omitted from this book"
this is false, the Quran does not describe prayer and many other things hence needs 6 major hadith collections to back it up

Quran 39;6 "womb in 3 layers"
this is false, theres many more layers. endometrium, myometrium, perimetrium,
peritoneum, besides the cervix uteri, corpus uteri, abdomen (with walls),
placenta (with layers),

quran 37;7 "shooting stars attack/guard against devils’
this is false, they are simply meteors which survive impact of the earths atmosphere
its a natural object deriving from small astronomical objects

quran 36;38 "sun runs to a fixed resting place"
this is false, the sun doesn’t rest anywhere. it stays on its own axis.
only a geocentric flat earth could assume this.
bukhari adds "the sun remains under god’s throne until its allowed rise again in the east"

quran 2;22 "earth a couch" Qur’an, 20:53 "earth a cradle"
and Earth’s shape is NOT a flat plane. why not describe earth as a ball?

Quran 15:19 "And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon Mountains
firm and immovable"
1st this extension sounds flat. a better metaphor for a round earth is a ball
2nd mountains don’t prevent earthquakes

quran 18;90 "far eastern tribes are without shelter from the sun"
far eastern people are not more near/vulnerable to the sun. the earth is SPHERICAL
this verse suggests earth is flat

quran 13;2 "earth has invisible pillars keeping up the heavens"
this is false

Qur’an 50:38 "earth created in 6 days"
this is false, earth took billions of years to form

Qur’an, 2:22 "the sky a dome"
this is false, the sky is not shaped like a dome. a dome has a base so this assumes a flat earth

Quran 18;90 "sun setting near people"
theres no such thing as the sun setting near people. we are all equally 95
million miles from the sun

quran 11;40 "load onto a boat 1 pair of each species"
this is false, theres millions of land animals, theres no way 1 man can
catch them all to fit on a boat

Oh God - you’re back on this one again are you.

DO please try and find something else to dish them with - this one’s getting VERY boring all the time you know.

I’m surprised they all fall for it any more - like hungry fish all after a tiny little worm - and the biggest laugh is that it’s always the same ones who bite ! ! !

Okay, JerryMc, very funny…you’re clever blah blah blah
Tacit Knowledge | Dec 30, 2009


YAWN! are you still posting from that website? HAHAH!
That is the worst Translation of anything I have ever seen.

The Quran came in revelations of ayats. Learn how to read revelations and go learn arabic since that is not the Quran.

The Muslims already did their job on here, there is 2 million Islamic questions. If we are here or not it doesn’t make a difference anymore.

We don’t protect the book THE LORD DOES. you got a problem with the book, take it up with God or you can go to Medina and fight the crypt of Muhammed SAW

You have always lost this fight, the more you do this the greater Islam becomes!

Do you think Jerry the goofy face maker thinks I don’t have his IP address? HAHAH! We have worked this system well. I can’t wait to get my camera and go to your door and ask you what you are talking about? So the whole world can finally see the ignorance that is spawing from you the Jew that made that website.

The Ramadan section is not my home anymore. I am in here, I don’t represent Islam or the Muslims there. I work alone I always have! So you want to fight someone, then come fight me! 8 of your accounts I have suspended already. The rest are soon to go down! THAT IS A PROMISE FOR YOU AND THOSE WHO ARE ON THE LIST!

A new list is coming out soon and GAAP is tweeked well anyone that likes their account should stay clear of anything we are going to post!
I told you after I was done in there, I am coming in here!
I was here before most of you, and I will be here after most of you! Check the RECORD!

You have too much time on your hands, don’t you?
Why? Why not? But WHY? | Dec 30, 2009


1) You should be posting this in the Ramadan section if you want legit answers.

2) Deal with it. It is a holy text written over 1400 years ago. The Bible is not much better, it’s just that the Bible has been revised so many times the people just dismiss such ridiculous things, or just don’t believe in them. Example of your argument- Hey Christians, Noah’s Ark is ridiculous, the Bible must be false.

@Tiger- I have no "Comic book". I’m an atheist. I think all of your religions are equally silly and childish. In case you misunderstood my crack at the Bible right there, I was saying that even though he posted some stuff about the Quran having scientific mistakes, all ancient texts do, they just didn’t know. I used the example of Noahs ark. Taken literally, the story is known to be impossible today. Another example (this time from the Quran) would be how the Prophet Mohammed supposedly split the moon in two. The amount of energy needed to actually make the moon break in two, come apart, and neatly go back together again without any evidence of it ever breaking is ridiculous. Even more so when it had to be done from Earth.
Xavs | Dec 30, 2009


I have been forced to worship Muhammad all my life, since I was a small child. I believe Muhammad was The Prophet because didn’t he say so? and people who say Muhammad was not The Prophet are soon killed. If I leave Islam I will be killed, and my whole family will be disgraced, beaten, robbed, raped, and driven naked out of their village by good Muslims. No food, no shelter, no clothing, no job, nothing. They will starve, all Muslims will be forbidden to help them. So I believe Quran is the word of Allah, you bet!
Cleo baby | Dec 30, 2009


Excellent observation!

And, Mr. Xvas, when we point out the fallacy of your "comic" book, why do you go after bible or other religious texts? Except your self proclaimed prophet, no other religion speaks of a direct revelation of any book by God. Bible is written by men from their life experiences; it is not dictated by God. It is only inspired by God for humans to know him. Whereas your book says it is directly dictated by God. There are much much more contradictions than those quoted in this question, but you people are so ignorant to accept it. If there is a real liar the world has ever seen, that is Mohammad. He never knew God and his work is his own which has nothing to do with God. Only intelligent people realize this and for others, they live in darkness by their own choice.

And, what do you think will happen if this question is posted in Ramadan section? I am fed up with the explanations of you so called "scholars"! They have made a thousand reasons for Mohammad’s marraige to a child who was destined to wash his semen filled clothes everyday morning! Ramadan section is filled with a bunch of super idiots.

Lots of babble. Most of these are metaphors. Unless you don’t know what a metaphor is either…

Plus, there are no 100% acurate English translations (just as the Bible)… you must read it in Arabic to fully understand. But since I highly doubt you can, That’s going to be a problem.

For example:

Q 6:6 "See they not how many past generations we destroyed"
It’s a reference to history.

An eight year old can figure that out.
Hidari K | Dec 30, 2009


one simple question…your logic and science comprise of your current knowledge right? do you think that is absolute??? do you think you know everything? …well im just looking at the last line are we seeing a crystal ball lol you are being ridiculous…..if you really want answers youtube and watch all the segment of dr zakir naik vs william campbell he posed all the questions you just did….IF you wanto know that is ….. in other words i dare you to watch it :)…salam.

Error?Only your poor interpretation is causing the error.
jurgen | Dec 30, 2009


Firstly, some of your assumptions are inaccurate. For example, the idea of 8 planets and 4 dwarf planets was not scientifically reached and is a controversial statement among astronomers. The whim of a committee that is hardly representative of the astronomical community does not have the right to dictate what is and isn’t scientific.

Secondly the sun does indeed have an orbit, it orbits the centre of the galaxy along with all the other stars.

However, the Quran is not and never was meant to be historically or scientifically accurate. It was intended as an easily memorable piece of beautiful arabic poetry for the purpose of religious instruction. It is illogical to judge the religious worth of a book on its scientific and logical context just as it is illogical to judge the artistic talents of an artist by their ability to do mathematics. It is always nice when science and religion agree on a topic but since they are entirely unrelated subjects it is as pointless to try to force religion to conform to scientific principles as it is to try to force science to conform to religious dogma.
Paul | Dec 31, 2009


So are you saying the bible is scientifically correct. .
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Heyy gurll | Dec 31, 2009


Interesting how some Muslims try to equate themselves with Christianity when it suits them; but when challenged on Koranic matters they bash the Bible. I thought Muslims, that Christians and Jews are your brothers, sisters, people of the book? Muslims if you’re going to prove the asker wrong, why not use your koran you adhere to. To the asker, I agree with you.
CherryMaybeReady | Dec 31, 2009


I think no need to answer to this question..but request yout o all read those verses in quran in full verse …it is enough to solve this question…..

why u r not quoting the full verses….?
ALLAHU AKBAR. | Jan 02, 2010

Quran 11;5 "thoughts of the breast (heart)"
what happened to the brain?
