You think some people voted for Obama so that the nation could wake up from its frog slowly cooking in the pot?

I think so! If Obama had not become President McCain would have done the same thing only in a much slower way that most Americans would not notice.



At least with Obama he fast forwarded the Progressive agenda. Its was very hard to not notice just how destructive these Progressive policies really are.



I do believe that there were a lot of intelligent people who voted for Obama for this very reason.



The Boiled Frog

They say that if you put a frog into a pot of boiling water,

it will leap out right away to escape the danger.



But, if you put a frog in a kettle that is filled with water that is cool and pleasant,

and then you gradually heat the kettle until it starts boiling,

the frog will not become aware of the threat until it is too late.

The frog's survival instincts are geared towards detecting sudden changes.



This is a story that is used to illustrate how people might get themselves into terrible trouble.

This parable is often used to illustrate how humans have to be careful to watch slowly changing trends in the environment, not just the sudden changes. Its a warning to keep us paying attention not just to obvious threats but to more slowly developing ones.You think some people voted for Obama so that the nation could wake up from its frog slowly cooking in the pot?
All I know is that is something Incubus said in the song, Warning. Love that band.
Unfortunately the "boiled frog" story is a lie too, just like every other thing Republicans say.You think some people voted for Obama so that the nation could wake up from its frog slowly cooking in the pot?
The ACLU has always helped us defend against the slow erosion of our freedoms.You think some people voted for Obama so that the nation could wake up from its frog slowly cooking in the pot?
maybe 2 percent of crazy people...

What do you call a beef that is half-cooked? (pls help)?

1) Medium rare

2) Medium

3) Medium well?



Can i say half-done?

Else, what should i call it from the above option? (or any others lemme know)





Im working on an art and my title im supposed to call it 'Half-done' but when i checked Wikipedia, there's no such term for beef. And so im not sure which term is it.



What i want is something that is done half way.... 50%. My art does not have images of beef but i want to illustrate something that is done halfway. Im not familiar with the terms.



Thank you! Please help! (urgent) Greatly appreciatedWhat do you call a beef that is half-cooked? (pls help)?
Medium
Since rare is slightly cooked I would think that medium would be the answer.What do you call a beef that is half-cooked? (pls help)?
"medium"





But "half-baked", comes to mind, LOL!What do you call a beef that is half-cooked? (pls help)?
To be accurate, it would be medium, as there are two levels below that and two above. But to be honest for the sake of art, "rare" sounds better. Don't you think?
Medium Rare is brown on the outside red in the middle - Medium is brown outside mostly red but turning pink - Medium Well is brown outside pink in the middle.



Other options are rare - basically shown the grill and brought to you and

Well done Brown outside gray in middle.



For what you need there really is not half done because it depends on how you like it could to determine if it is half done. Someone who wants it cooked well will say medium is hald done but someone who wants it medium will say medium rare is half done.



Hope this helps.

Spiritually: How do you illustrate faith?

As mentioned in Hebrews 11:1



For those of you that do not have faith, or think it is foolish:

"What is it that motivates you towards the good?"



"Faith is the assured expectation

of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though

not beheld", a brother used the following:





Let's take . . . PIE. I have a favorite pie and when I walk into the

room and smell that aroma, I think . . . "There's a pie cooking".

Now, I look around the kitchen and I see apple peelings, bits of

crust dough lying around, flour on the counter. I KNOW there's

pie and what KIND of pie it is. I've never seen it, but I know it's there.

Then, there's a NOTE which says: "I know by now you've smelled the

pie ... and 'YES', you may have some as soon as the timer rings".

Now I KNOW that the pie is there ..... it's cooking ..... it's apple

..... And it's for me.



And I know all this without having ever SEEN the pie. The evidence

of it's existence is all around me. And I KNOW I'll be eating pie

soon.

The same is true of 'faith'. We have never seen Jehovah .... but

we've seen the EVIDENCE of Him in the natural world, in his people, in

the accomplishments of his organization, in prayers being answered, prophecies being fulfilled and more promised. We KNOW, beyond a shadow of a doubt that He's real and working for our good.

Then there's the 'NOTE' ..... the Bible, that puts into words

the assurance of His love for us, and the promise of better things.



We've never physically SEEN Him or our future Paradise , but we KNOW,

without a shadow of a doubt that they are REAL because of the enormous amount of evidence around us. We KNOW it.

....now we just have to wait for the "timer to ring".Spiritually: How do you illustrate faith?
Faith is demonstrated every time one must have some form of service done. Drop your car off at a garage. Have work done on your house. Sign up for cell service.



Practically each time, we must pay up front for the service at least a good part of the full amount. No one pays money just to throw it away. We have FAITH that whatever service we pay for will be done properly. That we will get good value for money paid.



That does not always happen. Many times, there are less than honest people out there more than willing to steal anyones money. None wear a sign, "I am a crook!" All pretend to be honest, trustworthy. At times, they put names like "Christian or Honest" in their business names. These people have nothing else in mind but to steal as much money as possible.



Chances are microscopic that you would be the first victim. That is why investigation is required. Past action is a good indication of future actions. Have they kept their word in the past? Did the work equal or surpass what was promised? Did they keep communications open?



All this to answer the one question, "Are you putting your FAITH in the wrong thing or one?"

Human solidarity.



I feel bad when I make other people feel bad......



IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLESpiritually: How do you illustrate faith?
I also agree 100%, thanks for sharing this :)

I'm not sure how I'd illustrate faith. Just hope and love and trust.
I agree with you 100% and I love the illustration but I dont know how to answer the question sorry :/
blind faith?? you can keep it!


maybe .............. just maybe ................... you're wrong!

I'd go Angel?!
Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the assured expectation of Things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld [ seen] 2 For by means of this the men of old times had witness borne to them 3 By faith we perceive that the system of things were put in order by God's word so that what is beheld has come to be out of things that do not appear
Without faith our worship is worth nothing!

This is what Jehovah told us through his prophet Isaiah: “Remember the first things of a long time ago, that I am the Divine One and there is no other God, nor anyone like me; the One telling from the beginning the finale, and from long ago the things that have not been done; the One saying, ‘My own counsel will stand, and everything that is my delight I shall do.’”



The last part of verse 11 says: “I have even spoken it; I shall also bring it in. I have formed it, I shall also do it. (Isaiah 46:9-11)



Yes, we can have faith in Jehovah and his promises just as surely as if those promises had already come true.



The Bible expresses it this way: “Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld.”—Hebrews 11:1.





(Isaiah 46:11) the One calling from the sunrising a bird of prey, from a distant land the man to execute my counsel. I have even spoken [it]; I shall also bring it in. I have formed [it], I shall also do it.



(Isaiah 46:9-11) Remember the first things of a long time ago, that I am the Divine One and there is no other God, nor anyone like me; 10?the One telling from the beginning the finale, and from long ago the things that have not been done; the One saying, ‘My own counsel will stand, and everything that is my delight I shall do’; 11?the One calling from the sunrising a bird of prey, from a distant land the man to execute my counsel. I have even spoken [it]; I shall also bring it in. I have formed [it], I shall also do it.



(Hebrews 11:1) Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld.



Our faith cannot contain any doubt about the fact that Jehovah will do all He has promised us.
I think he should wait for the pie to cool before he eats some.

And what about all of the other gods? They're just made up nonsense, right? Of course, YOURS is the real one.
That's a pretty good analogy. Another one I use is the analogy of learning a mathematical formula.

It's like if you're taking calculus and your teacher tells you that this is a formula that will tell you how to find how much water you need to flow through a pipe to cool a turbine or something (just an example).

He writes the formula on the board and I look at it. I copy it and start committing it to memory. At that point I don't have empirical proof that that formula will do what the teacher says it will do, but I have *faith* that it will.

The knowledge that it will prove to be true is pure faith until I go home that night and work it our for myself. Until I work it out on my own and see with my own eyes that it gives me the right answer, all I have is faith.

My faith in God is a lot like that. I have the word of many wise and prayerful teachers through the ages, plus my own experience to tell me that God is love and love is the only thing that can heal the world's wounds. At some point I will know that for sure, see it with my own eyes, so to speak, but until then ... it's pure faith.
I liken it to the answering of your question with this computer. Though I cannot see the information that is being sent, whether it be through wires, or that of the air, I have faith that the coded bits of information being being sent will be reprocessed on your end, much like our DNA is for creation.. Hebrews 11:1 Faith, trusting with unshakable adherence. Great question.
Okay, You Had me at PIE...
The First Evidence that Every True Believer has is the Fact that they have a CHANGED LIFE. New Desires/Habits have Replaced Old (Sinful) Desires/Habits,
and we have been FREED from the BONDAGE of Sin.
This is going to be hard to explain in a short space but I’ll Try...
Romans Ch 8:1 begins by saying “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus...” VS 30 says “Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.” Meaning that Salvation is Entirely of GOD and it is a Complete Package! (From our being Predestined to Our Glorification). Now Look at the very Last VS of that Chapter and Paul Tells us that “There is NO Separation for those who are in Christ Jesus”. I’ve Quickly Said ALL that to Show that Romans Ch 8 is Meant to give the Christian ASSURANCE and Security of their Faith.
NOW, Go back to VS 1 where Paul is Assuring the Christian that he is No Longer under “Condemnation”, In the Next Verse, Paul is going to start to Assure the Believer that he Really is NOT under Condemnation Any More and the Very FIRST thing (Look at VS 2) He Says “FOR” Meaning "BECAUSE". Paul is Telling us WHY we don’t have “Condemnation” and the Reason he gives is Because “We have been Set Free…”, “We NO LONGER are under the Bondage of Sin” (Earlier in the Book he explained that the Unsaved person was Under Bondage to sin). What Paul is doing here in Ch 8:2 is he is Appealing to the Christians Personal Experience to give them Assurance that they Really are NOT Under Condemnation. And His Point is that EVERY Believer is Able to Compare his NEW Life “IN Christ” with his OLD Life “In-Adam”. For Myself there is a Real Noticible Change in my life, I Now Have a Love for Reading and Studying the Bible where I Never had before, I use to be a Loner and didn’t care for anybody but myself but Now I have a Love for my fellow Christian Brethren, and I REALLY Care for the Eternal Destiny of the Unsaved, There severl differences in my Character such as I No Longer am Angry like I use to be, I No Longer Steal... I Could go On with a pretty Long List of what is Different Now as compared with Before I was saved, but my Point is that I KNOW there is a Very DISTINCT Difference between my Before Christ and After Christ! THAT IS MY EVIDENCE! I Am a NEW Creation In Christ Jesus!

'Britain's got Talent' or 'Television for Dummies' ?

It's the program with all the plusses !!! The wonderful Ant, the equally unirritating Dec, the talented Amanda Holden, Piers Over-Bearing and of course Simon Cowell, who seems to make more appearances on television than the weather forecast. How could we fail to enjoy such a spectacle of presenters who illustrate better than anybody could that Britain has indeed got talent. A talent for producing inane and moronic television programs. Now we hear the 'America's Got Talent'. How long before life becomes a constant procession of talent shows, Big Brother BS, dancing competitions, cooking competitions, who wants to be a Lord Webber protege, top model etc etc etc. Coronation Street could be replaced by Corrine's real Coronation Street Stars, where the series is actually replaced by auditions for Corrie Wannabees.

There programs are insulting...get them off the air....we are more intelligent. RANT OVER...what do you think ?'Britain's got Talent' or 'Television for Dummies' ?
I think we are being bombarded with "Reality" style shows on the BBC its all the same celebrity dancing, find me next West end musical star which is the same show hosted by Graham Bloody Norton but with a different name.



And ITV is over run with Simon Bloody Cowell TV, and no doubt in another 6 months or so, they Will uncover the fact that your phone votes have not been counted and another "TV phone in swindle " will occur, when will these people ever learn
if you don't like don't watch, corri is not going to be replaced, some of the contestants on britains got talent do have talent and are actually quite entertaining as are the ones who don't have talent, a lot of people watch it and they watch for a reason...



Edit: it's only a tv programme theres plenty of other things to watch and nobody forces you to watch it if you don't want to'Britain's got Talent' or 'Television for Dummies' ?
britian's got talent came from america, america had talent first.



i like it, i mean why not - its brainless, colourful, loud fun!

the ppl who got on there can be somewot deluded but hey, rather them than me. i'l just watch it like everyone else like sheep'Britain's got Talent' or 'Television for Dummies' ?
I think you know a lot about the programmes you "apparently" hate. :-D
I gave up on TV after watching the first Big Brother, I put my TV outside and said to myself, "Never again", lol.
just dunt watch it i lyk it i just dunt lyk big brova tht should be canceled for eva
just don't watch it there plenty of other programs to choose from, simple as

Can u check my grammar?

It might seems long but it's not long. There's a quote in it.



I was wondering if you can check my grammar and if you want, can you add/edit things too.



Please and Thank you in advance :]]





In The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini illustrates how Amir’s jealousy towards Hassen leads him to think cruelty. Amir was so happy and proud of himself for writing a story all by himself. He was so excited to share his story with Hassen. He felt proud while he was reading his story to Hassen until Hassen said something that transform his proudness into jealousy. Hassen suggested that Amir’s main character to cut an onion instead of killing his wife. Amir begins to think to self. “What does he know, that illiterate Hazara? He’ll never be anything but a cook.” (34). Consequently Amir’s jealousy leads him to have cruel thoughts about Hassen. Even though Amir goes to school while Hassen stays at home, Hassen is still more intelligent. In Amir’s mind, he believes that he is far more intelligent and better than Hassen because Amir is Pashtun while Hassen is a Hazara. As soon as Hassen told Amir about the onion idea, Amir felt low because he did thought of the idea which a Hazara, who thought of it. Due to this incident, it leads Amir to think cruel about Hassen saying how Hassen is just a Hazara. He was trying to put Hassen down in his mind in order to make him feel better about himself.Can u check my grammar?

I agree with the above poster, with the exception of these sentences (the way he wrote them):



This incident, led Amir to cruel thoughts about Hassen;such as that Hassen is just a Hazara. He wanted to put Hassen down in his mind, so that he could feel better about himself.



There should be no comma after incident, no semicolon after Hassen (make it a comma), and there is no comma after mind.

aw hell naw!!1
INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!!
I would so wanna answer, but I don't have the time to read.
I gave up after the first one lol
Woah even i don't have that many questions for homework, wait,

I do.
nope, can't answer them. can you?
1.All nonzero digits are significant. Thus, 8.15 cm, 0.723 cm, 52.3 cm, and 0.000234 cm all contain three significant figures.

Zeros between nonzero digits are significant. There are three significant figures in each of the measurements, 101 cm, 10.5 cm and 1.06 cm.

Terminal zeros to the right of the decimal point are significant. There are three significant figures in 0.100 cm, 0.110 cm, and 1.00 cm.

Zeros preceding the first nonzero digit are not significant. There are three significant figures in 0.0101 cm, 0.00100 cm and 0.000101 cm.

Terminal zeros in a number without an explicit decimal point may or may not be significant. When a measurement is given as 200 cm, you do not know whether one, two, or three significant figures were intended. Any uncertainty can be removed by expressing the number in scientific notation.

Medical Personal Statement let me down even after I have 3 A's. Can you have a read and make suggestions?

Medicine is an ever growing, ever changing field. Doctors and researchers can spend their whole lives trying to find a cure for a disease only to realise that when they have, a new disease takes its place and hence the cycle begins again. This is just one of the many reasons why I believe that medicine is such a unique and distinctive field, because there is no beginning, no end and therefore you never stop learning.

In order to gain a realistic insight into the life of a doctor I organised some work experience within a hospital. I worked with different people including surgeons and juniordoctors. I went on ward rounds, sat in an outpatient clinic, and observed live surgery. From

all these different angles of medicine I understand that in order to enter such a diverse field you need to be adaptable and flexible in order to meet the demands of such a hectic career. Teamwork was essential throughout the whole week and was a major factor for all the

medical staff. When having a conversation with the surgeon I was amazed when he mentioned the prospect of having surgery without making incisions. This illustrates the advancement of

medicine; we have gone from making large incisions to keyhole surgery and now to having no incisions.



Attending a medical conference at **** University allowed me to enhance my knowledge on what life as a medical student entailed. One to one conversations with doctors, and medical students demonstrated the reality of a career in medicine. From this experience I appreciate that you cannot simply become a doctor and help people. An immense amount of dedication and

perseverance is required to reach this stage, however I believe that I have the motivation required to become a useful member of the medical profession.

I am a regular volunteer at both the Deaf %26amp; Blind Society and *** Hospice. I am often placed in charge of organising activities for the Society. By working here I realised that it is the little things that really make the difference in the patients' lives, and also shows me

the reality of the patients and their families who have to cope with a loved one having a terminal illness. Having to cope in high pressure situations such as these has allowed me to realise the stresses and strains that come with being a doctor. From both these experiences I

understand how vital empathy %26amp; a sense of humour is when it comes to dealing with the patient and trying to make the best out of the bleakest situation.



My communication and public speaking skills have been demonstrated by being an active member of the debating team. The rebuttals during the debates have definitely enhanced my ability to

be able to think on the spot. Having to work with the team has improved my listening skills greatly, which is beneficial as being a doctor requires listening to the patients express

their views and explain their symptoms.



Mentoring younger children in science has developed my organisation and planning skills. Having to be prepared every week with a new presentation or activity allowed me to think ahead

and also increased my creativity skills, as I had to prepare something that my mentee would find informative but also exciting.

I'm an active member of the local gym, which helps me to unwind. I am currently taking cooking classes, which I also enjoy. Balancing many different activities has developed my time management skills and given me one of the most essential tools for a career as challenging as medicine.



I understand that doctors are only human and can only help their patients to a limit; however

I would be privileged to enter such an exceptional field and be part of this unique team.

Although a career in medicine requires 100% concentration, I believe I am a determined,enthusiastic individual who rises up to challenge and has the skills that are vital to manage such a demanding course as medicine.Medical Personal Statement let me down even after I have 3 A's. Can you have a read and make suggestions?
If I understand correctly, you have just earned or will soon earn your bachelor's degree and are applying to medical school.



In this case, the problem with your essay is that it reads like an essay of a student applying for undergraduate school. You have mentioned nothing about the scientific research that you should have done in college. If fact, you have not mentioned anything about your four years in college.



If you are in high school and are applying to undergraduate school, your essay concept would be OK if you mentioned specifically that you want to study pre-med, so long as you cut down the discussion of medical preparation to give you space to write specifically about how the experiences you have had have changed you for the better and how you anticipate that undergraduate school will enable to continue on this path.



If you are in a country where you go directly to medical school after high school, your essay is a good first draft and needs lots of refinement.



In any case, you need to clean up the grammar and syntax as well as the conclusion.



Good luck.

http://amazingresearch.jimdo.com/Medical Personal Statement let me down even after I have 3 A's. Can you have a read and make suggestions?
Read your statement. You have a few punctuation errors and places where commas should be but aren't.



Also, this sounds too much like an undergrad paper and not enough like a grad student. I think you also focused on you too much. This is for med school but where's the references to med school? You talk about science and creativity and communication. After your paragraph about attending medical conferences the focus on med school seems to all but disappear.



Ask yourself if they really have to know about your public speaking skills and mentoring of little kids. I think you should take those out because it seems to derail your paper.



Maybe talk of what its like to be a doctor and the impact you witnessed that they have on the lives of the patient and the families you volunteered with. Why thats important.Medical Personal Statement let me down even after I have 3 A's. Can you have a read and make suggestions?
firstly, dont put your personal statement on a site like this. people might take things from it and then it wont be personal at all. so remove this when you can.



you spend most of the statement telling the admission tutor things they already know...they know its an ever changing growing field and they dont want you to reiterate it to them. they want to know about YOU and your reasons not an insight into the subject theyre already teaching.
You need to look at your grammar and punctuation and also you need to relate the subjects you studied as you have not said anything about that i.e. why did you choose Maths? how does this relate to Medicine.
