Director Josef killed him because he wanted to stop the trip and the trip can only be made every seventy or eighty years and the director wouldn’t live to see it if they didn’t do it now.

how do i get my 6 month old to sleep through the night?
with the last month my 6 month old has become very clingy towards me, he still isn’t sleeping through the night never has not once.. my older son started sleeping through the night at 8-10 weeks and still is a great sleeper. but as soon as my youngest sees his cot he screams puts his bum in the air and Carry’s on making it very difficult to put blankets on, then when he wakes up he doesn’t cry he yells not upset kinda like a playing yell, but i give him a bottle and he goes to bed. the only problem with letting him yell is my other son, i don’t want him to start waking up, their bedrooms are very close to one another. PLEASE HELP!!!!


"how do i get my 6 month old to sleep through the night?"

You don’t. Your first son was an exception, in general most babies aren’t sleeping through the night at 12 months, let alone 6.
Parent your baby to sleep and don’t expect him to sleep through the night yet. He’ll do so when he’s developmentally ready to do so, trying to force him before he’s ready is just cruel and dangerous.

im sorry i cant really give you any advice–most ppl are going to tell you to let him cry it out, dont let him manipulate you blah blah– I might tell you that too except i know how heart wrenching that is and how hard it is for everyone in the house to get to sleep when a poor baby is crying his heart out…B/c i have had the same experience as you if not worse—my 2 yr old to this day still gets up every 3-4 hrs for a pat on his butt and a pacifier. i tried everything when he was younger except letting him cry it out–i mean i tried that for 2 days and everyone was miserable—my pediatrician had said let him cry it out for 2 weeks then he will finallly learn that no one is going to come comfort him and he will learn to fall asleep on his own. but two days was all i could take. and maybe thats why i still suffer:(; if you have tried pacifier, not feeding him at night, feeding him solids like cereal so it stas in his stomache and you have tried putting his crib in another room/ etc then i would say the only thing left is crying it out method–for more than 2 days for sure. good luck

HamletHamlet (1996)

IMDB rating: 7.70

Plot: Hamlet, son of the king of Denmark, is summoned home for his father’s funeral and his mother’s wedding to his uncle. In a supernatural episode, he discovers that his uncle, whom he hates anyway, murdered his father. In an incredibly convoluted plot—the most complicated and most interesting in all literature—he manages to (impossible to put this in exact order) feign (or perhaps not to feign) madness, murder the “prime minister,” love and then unlove an innocent whom he drives to madness, plot and then unplot against the uncle, direct a play within a play, successfully conspire against the lives of two well-meaning friends, and finally take his revenge on the uncle, but only at the cost of almost every life on stage, including his own and his mother’s.

Based on the story of creation isn't heterosexuality the original sin and reproduction a punishment ?
Just bear with me :)

When God created Adam there was animals in the garden with him and he was alone which can only suggest that there was no need for reproduction anyway! Then when Eve entered the fray both she and Adam committed the original sin and it was from here on in that God told Eve her punishment was to bear children and be the "property" (for the want of a better term) of Adams! Now surely if heterosexual sex is "natural" then why was Eve given this as a form of punishments by God? So basically, if it hadn’t been for the actions of two heterosexuls none of us would be in this mess now?


Fireball is proof that religion is for the weak and pointless,..

I Love TED!! | Nov 16, 2009


no he commanded them to reproduce…Dont twist the Bible…
CHILDBEARING IS NOW PAINFUL due to the rebellion of not listening.
Fireball | Nov 16, 2009


If it hadn’t been for the actions of two heterosexuals (and of four before them …) most of us wouldn’t be here anyway.
za | Nov 16, 2009


Being a moron was the original sin. Eve was created for Adam as a companion, therefore heterosexuality is NOT a sin.
Bonzai Betty | Nov 16, 2009


Cool, I have never thought of it that way.

If you expect rational answers from the faithful, forget it.

Secret Agent of God (BWR) | Nov 16, 2009


Just read Genesis 3. If you are going to critique the Bible get your facts together.
imrod | Nov 16, 2009


May I suggest you read again the first three chapters of Genesis? I think you will find that Adam and Eve got thrown out of Eden for becoming "as gods" having the knowledge of good and evil. That was their sin. It had nothing to do with serpents, sex, or having apple on their breaths.
oldandtired | Nov 16, 2009


Pain was all the result of sin coming into the earth. God did not say women are the property of man. Jesus bore our pain. I call out to Jesus when in pain and he helped me.
blackberry | Nov 16, 2009


Painful Child birth is one of the implications of Sin, not reproduction…

Reproduction was originally God’s design.
chrispy | Nov 21, 1977


If you take the beginning literally we should all be running around nude and living to the ripe old age of a thousand. You are trying to interpret a story enjoyed by Christians that is constantly used by non believers as a wedge to shoulder an argument. Which means; it’s also a story to non believers.

The simple facts remains, we all have faith, it just depends on what you have faith in:)
ggraves1724 | Nov 16, 2009


Far fetched..
Kit | Nov 16, 2009


The original sin was the disobedience in eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Pain in childbearing was the punishment for Eve and Adams punishment was to have to work the land for survival. While in the Garden everything was provided by God.

Eve was created from a rib taken from Adam’s side as a symbolism that woman was created to walk beside her husband, not be behind Him, rule over him or be beneath his feet. I am not my husbands property, I am his partner in a marriage. We share equally in earning income, chores, making financial decisions and most important of all, child rearing.
Bible Believer | Nov 16, 2009


Hi,
No that wasn’t the original sin. Some believe (not all) that it was Eve having sex with Satan that started the problems. Some feel cain was the off spring of Satan and eve, and this is why Cain had issues with Able, and then murdered him out of jealousy. Complicated to say the least. This isn’t what most Christian sects believe, but it is accepted by some sects. This belief is known as the serpent seed doctrine. Hence the division between her seed and satan seed…hers crushes the head of the serpent (Satan) and his (Satan) bruises the heel of hers (Jesus)
Besides God told man to become fruitful and multiply, so that alone blows your theory out of the garden….so to speak.
skiingstowe | Nov 16, 2009


No.
Joe P | Nov 16, 2009


Yep.
Hence the frequent christian belief that all sex is "sinful and evil," and that if it wasn’t necessary for reproduction they would (claim) to eschew it completely.
A belief that results in some really screwed-up people and attitudes about sex.

Peace.

is it legal to be tried in both civilian and military court for the same crime?
How does this not violate a defendants right against double jeopardy?
is there a perticular court case that upholds this or a perticular article that sates that this wouldnt be double jeapordy.
this is for a paper i am writing for a political science class i am taking.


Yes, it happens all the time.

The courts have ruled over and over that it’s not double jeopardy. In the case of the Oklahoma City bombing Terry Nichols was tried and convicted by both the federal government and the State of Oklahoma. Same crime.

The cops who beat that cretin, Rodney King, were acquitted by the State of California and convicted by a federal court. Same crime.

Many KKK members who were acquitted by State Courts in the South, back in the 60’s, have since been convicted by federal courts. Same crimes.
Yak Rider | Nov 15, 2009


Yes, it is legal. Military courts fall under a federal jurisdiction, while civilian courts are run by the states. Because they are separate jurisdictions, double jeopardy doesn’t apply.
MVR | Nov 15, 2009


Of course if’s legal. You’re government property so the military will punish you. You are also accountable for your actions in the civilian world so you can be prosecuted by their courts.
as2633 | Nov 15, 2009


Years ago it was explained to me by a JAG officer that being tried for the same offense civil and military is like being shot and killed twice, it can only happen once.

However understand depending on what was done the military can try you for something entirely different related to the offense. For example, we all know we’re not supposed to drink and drive, however if you go out in town and drink and drive and are caught, you’ll go to jail, go to court, pay a fine etc, etc. The military can get you for disobeying a lawful order or if commited the crime during the week and jailed causing you to be UA/ AWOL then you can get in trouble for being UA/AWOL.

Yes, it’s absolutely permitted.
John in PA | Nov 15, 2009


What you are talking about are the jurisdictional lines that separate military from civilian jurisdiction. Double jeopardy by its definition is a trial of the same defendant, on the same charge before the same sovereign, or court. Here, military and civilian courts are considered different sovereigns, dealing with different bodies of law, so there is no prohibition per se against a defendant being tried by both a military and a civilian court. The Code of Federal Regulations, however, does contain a prohibition against a civilian being tried by a military court when the civilian courts are open and functioning. See ex parte Milligan. Jurisdiction over military personnel is generally reserved for military courts, and civilians for military courts. One noted exception was a death penalty case against a former service member who, several years after his release from the military was tried and condemned by a military court for offenses committed during his time in uniform.
Jeffrey V | Nov 15, 2009


Yes and no you aren’t tried for the exact same offense.

In the U.S. military courts martial are subject to the same law of double jeopardy, as the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the military, superseding the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Nonjudicial punishment is considered akin to a civil case and is subject to lower standards than a court martial, which is the same as a court of law. However if a non-judicial or NJP proceeding fails to produce conclusive evidence, the commanding officer (or ranking official presiding over the NJP) is not allowed to prepare the same charge against the military member in question. In a court martial, acquittal of the defendant means he is protected permanently from having those charges reinstated.

Double jeopardy also does not apply if the defendant was never tried from the start. Charges that were dropped or put on hold for any reason can always be reinstated in the future if not barred by any statute of limitations.

For example: If you get a DUI off post, the civilian authories can fine you, take your license and even lock you up. You can still face charges by your unit commander for violating special orders (2nd offense or violation of a safety brief), unbecoming an officer (if that’s your rank), underage drinking, whatever the post commander policy is, etc. You normally would receive a general officer’s memorandum of record (GOMOR) for off-post offenses. Now if it was murder or domestic violence that happened off post, it will depend on who has jurisdiction and what the policy is for these types of offenses. Normally crimes by and against service members are persecuted by the military.

How to make a beautiful black forest cake?
I tried to make a 3 layer black forest cake. Everything went good until I had to layer the cake. My cake looks like it got dropped twice, and then someone tried to fix it by smothering it with whip cream. >=[ Does anyone have any good recipes for a single layer cake, or even a double layer?


The trick to layering a cake and having it even is to cut the center hump off after its cool before you stack it. If you dont, it will tear and drop.

You can use a long knife for this or you can use unwaxed dental floss. Pull it tight between your fingers and slide it back and forth in a cutting motion and it will slice the top off the cake. Make it as even as you can without losing too much of the cake.

Then put the frosting in between the layers and a light, thin crumb coat on the whole cake, that way any crumbs that are loose will be held down by the thin layer of frosting. Put in the fridge for about 15 mins to cool and set the frosting. Then frost it final. This works for all layer cakes and pretty much any type of frosting.

I have made several 4 layer cakes with much success using this method. Let me know if you have any questions.

Oh, and you can save the pieces of cake you cut off and eat it later! :)
