Building a deck on a house, a boat, or do you mean decking a person? All the laws are different and can be discussed in detail, but you might want to be a bit more specific.

I wonder if you actually are talking about anti-cardio-phospho-lipid-syndrome which is found using blood tests. The blood tests look at the person's antibodies and it is on the nucleic scale.

You have to begin by setting up an ebay account. They will ask you several questions including for your telephone confirmation (at least that is how they used to do it) then they will allow you to start selling things. If you are selling books, you may be better off doing it through Amazon.Com or B&N.com. They have used books for sale, and you would probably do better at either of those sites.

Donate them to your local library and get the tax write off.

Sure. But renounce Jesus for what? There is no god or gods and he, according to the Bible, never claimed to be either a god or gods. So what I am renouncing Jesus for, claiming to be a Jew when everyone else seemed to claim he was a god? I am not sure where you are going with this, but if you explain more, I'd be happy to claim the money if you are willing to put it up.

Easy, check to see if that house is 'in foreclosure' first. If it is not, then it is "not in foreclosure." But I am wondering if you really were asking about a house actually in the process of being foreclosed. In that case, go to your county records website and check for leans against the property. While you are there, you can see who actually owns the house - it may not be who you are renting from. You can look at the property taxes, the history of the house, etc etc. From there you can check to see sometimes see who the lender is and in some cases how the property taxes are paid. Once you find out that information, contact the lender directly and ask. Or you can check with a licensed realtor and ask about the property. But I'd start with the things they would check - county records. Then go from there.

The number of bones in the human body changes over time. At birth, the human baby actually has fewer bones than an adult because the sesemoid bones and the bones of the wrist and several bones of the foot have not yet formed. Doctors, called Radiologists use these growth patterns to determine a person's 'bone age.' So to figure out the total number of bones, you need to know two things- how old is the person, and do they have all their body parts. If they do, and they are an adult, then: Cranial bones 1 Ethmoid bone, 1 Frontal bone, 1 Occipital bone, 2 Parietal bones, 1 Sphenoid bone and 2 Temporal bones. 8 8 Facial bones 2 Inferior Nasal Conchae, 2 Lacrimal bones, 1 Mandible, 2 Maxillae, 2 Nasal bones, 2 Palatine bones, 1 Vomer and 2 Zygomatic bones. 14 14 Ear Ossicles (bones) Malleus (Hammer), Incus (Anvil) and Stapes (Stirrup). 3 in each ear 6 Hyoid bone 1 1 Cervical vertebrae 7 7 Thoracic vertebrae 12 12 Lumbar vertebrae 5 5 Sacrum 1 1 Coccyx 1 1 Ribs 12 pairs 24 Sternum 1 1 Clavicle 1 in each shoulder girdle 2 Scapula 1 in each shoulder girdle 2 Humerus 1 in each arm 2 Radius 1 in each arm 2 Ulna 1 in each arm 2 Carpals 8 in each arm 16 Metacarpals 5 in each arm 10 Phalanges 14 in each arm 28 Hip bone 1 in each leg 2 Femur 1 in each leg 2 Patella 1 in each leg 2 Tibia 1 in each leg 2 Fibula 1 in each leg 2 Tarsals 7 in each leg 14 Metatarsals 5 in each leg 10 Phalanges 14 in each leg 28 Total number of bones 206

Exposing Mother Teresa: Hitchens’ Book A Devastating Insight. JOHN M. SWOMLEY debunks the myth of Mother Teresa, who has been unjustly built into a near-saint by the media, by way of a review of the book, The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa In Theory And Practice, by Christopher Hitchens. From: THE HUMAN QUEST, SEPTEMBER -- OCTOBER, 1996 Exposing Mother Teresa Hitchens’ Book A Devastating Insight By JOHN M. SWOMLEY ONE OF THE interesting books published in 1995 debunks the myth of Mother Teresa, who has been unjustly built into a near-saint by the media. She has been virtually untouchable as an almost sacred figure. and anyone who dares to criticize her is promptly rebuked. The book is The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa In Theory And Practice, by Christopher Hitchens (Verso, London and New York, 1995) $12.95. Hitchens aired a documentary on her in England and has investigated her activities. He questions her Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 because she never did anything for peace. In fact, in her acceptance speech she said, “Abortion is the worst evil, and the greatest enemy of peace... Because if a mother can kill her own child, what will prevent us from killing ourselves or one another? Nothing.” Wherever she goes this is her constant message. In 1992 at an open air mass in Knock, Ireland, she said, “Let us promise our Lady who loves Ireland so much, that we will never allow this country a single abortion. And no contraceptives.” She obviously sees no connection between poverty and too many children. In one interview cited in the book, she was asked, “So you wouldn’t agree with people who say there are too many children in India?” She said, “I do not agree, because God always provides. He provides for the flowers and the birds, for everything in the world He has created. And those little children are his life. There can never be enough.” One of Mother Teresa’s volunteers in Calcutta described her “Home for the Dying” as resembling photos of concentration camps such as Belsen. No chairs, just stretcher beds. Virtually no medical care or painkillers beyond aspirin, and a refusal to take a 15-year-old boy to a hospital. Hitchens adds, “Bear in mind that Mother Teresa’s global income is more than enough to outfit several first class clinics in Bengal. The decision not to do so... is a deliberate one. The point is not the honest relief of suffering, but the promulgation of a cult based on death and suffering and subjection.” Then Hitchens notes that Mother Teresa “has checked into some of the finest and costliest clinics and hospitals in the West during her bouts with heart trouble and old age.” The author mentions her visit to Haiti and her endorsement of the Duvaliers, the source of much deprivation of the poor in Haiti. Also, her acceptance of stolen money from Charles Keating, “now serving a ten-year sentence for his part in the savings and loan scandal.” Keating, a “Catholic fundamentalist”, gave Mother Teresa one and a quarter million dollars and “the use of his private jet.” During the course of Keating’s trial, Mother Teresa wrote Judge Ito asking clemency and asked Ito “to do what Jesus would do.” One of the prosecutors in the trial wrote her telling her “of 17,000 individuals from whom Mr. Keating stole $252,000,000.” He added, “You urge Judge Ito to look into his heart--as he sentences Charles Keating--and do what Jesus would do. I submit the same challenge to you. Ask yourself what Jesus would do if he were given the fruits of a crime; what Jesus would do if he were in possession of money that had been stolen; what Jesus would do if he were being exploited by a thief to ease his conscience.” The prosecutor asked her to return the money, and offered to put her “in direct contact with the rightful owners of the property now in your possession.” This supposed paragon of virtue never replied to his letter. No one knows what happens to the millions of dollars Mother Teresa receives. There is no accounting and no evidence that she has built a hospital or orphanage that reflects modern health and sanitary conditions. Hitchens details the reactionary political activities of Mother Teresa, from aiding the Spanish right wing against the anti-Franco forces who were seeking a secular society in post-Franco Spain, to her visits to Nicaragua and Guatemala to whitewash the atrocities of the Contras and death squads. There is much more in this book, such as letters from former workers with Mother Teresa exposing her hypocrisy. Hitchens concludes his 98-page book with reference to her fund-raising for clerical nationalists in the Balkans, her endorsement by Ralph Reed of the Christian Coalition, and her “cover for all manner of cultists and shady businessmen.” His last sentence is, “It is past time that she was subjected to the rational critique that she has evaded so arrogantly for so long.” John M. Swomley serves American society in various capacities, a major one being a Jeffersonian advocate of separation of church and state. From THE HUMAN QUEST SEPTEMBER -- OCTOBER, 1996 page 19

Get bigger birds. LOL I understand Bald Eagles occasionally eat cats. Get a few of them and sooner or later, the cats wont be bothering the birds any more.

To make sure the ribs are completely cooked. Boiling the ribs also makes the meat tender. If you just put the ribs on the grill, the bone cooks too fast, and the meat gets tough. Also, wait until the very last couple of minutes to baste the ribs with sauce or the sauce will caramelize, meaning it gets really crusty and sugary.
