1998 NCAA Championship celebration in the streets of Lexington, Kentucky?

1998 NCAA Championship celebration in the streets of Lexington, Kentucky?
Can anyone find that great picture (it was even sold as a poster, I believe) of that huge celebration at the intersection of Woodland and Euclid in front of Lynagh's after the Kentucky Wildcats won the 1998 NCAA men's basketball championship? We're discussing it on Facebook and can't believe how hard it is to find since you can find just about anything on the internet. Thanks!!!

What do you think of these comments on Christian forum "Rapture Ready"?

What do you think of these comments on Christian forum "Rapture Ready"?
http://rr-bb.com/showthread.php?151193-Christian-woman-sentenced-to-death-in-Pakistan-for-alleged-quot-blasphemy-quot-against-Mohammad&p=1965543#post1965543 (in discussing blasphemy laws in Pakistan) How ironic that the Left would love to have such a blasphemy law passed against Christians to keep them from speaking the truth about homosexuality, abortion, etc, the gods of the Left. They're caught in a conundrum because they have a fetish for Islam because they want to use it against us, yet it happens to be the most oppressive, violent, and anti-Left religion out there. They will fight to put some make-up on Islam to make it appear more tolerable so that it can expand and gain a better stranglehold in the West, but at the same time it is going to turn on them and do them in. Meanwhile, the Left wants to put us, the only ones who understand the real danger of Islam, in a very similar choke-hold of their own. Truly darkened minds and deceived by their lusts. == http://rr-bb.com/showthread.php?151041-Victims-of-the-bully They are laying a groundwork for persecuting Christians. As a mentally ill individual who has battled suicide, I can assure you depression is 100% responsible for suicide. Not bullying. I have been bullied this year, after refusing sexual advances. Am I sucidal? No. I dread going into work sometimes, I avoid him if at all possible, but I'm not killing myself over it. The media is trying to build a foundation: Christianity is hate speech (Bible verses protesting homosexuality); "Hate speech" is bullying. Bullying causes suicide (NOT TRUE). Ergo, Christian beliefs, when expressed, lead to suicide. We have to restrict this! I can see it VERY clearly. It's not about bullying at all; it's about taking away our rights to speak of Jesus and the Bible. Mark my words on this. == http://rr-bb.com/showthread.php?149133-Use-Facebook&p=1946245#post1946245 Facebook has brought more harm to my family in recent history than anything I can recall. Because of it my nephew is getting divorced. My oldest daughter is not speaking to me after I called her out over some questionable posts. My nephew's lawyer told my sister that in a recent consensus of lawyers, Facebook had played a role in 8 out of 10 divorce cases. Just this week Facebook announced their support of gay rights, stating "They were going to take an aggressive stance against Hate Speach". Thus they basically announced the censorship of christian messages and posts is going to increase. Therefore "I Believe" it is an agent of satan and his world. == http://rr-bb.com/showthread.php?150556-Left-Coast-Status-Quo-in-Election/page2 [Re: How could Democrats have won in California?] My daughter was near inconsolable and kept saying, "I don't understand", "I don't understand". I did, all to readily. I explained t her about darkness, spritual blindness, evil, stuff she already knows. But she kept shaking her head on how so many people could be SO blind as to not see what the progressive/left/demos/etc. are up to. I told her that Massachusetts, Nevada, and CA are still dark states and will continue to cling to their darkness. == http://rr-bb.com/showthread.php?148084-Post-Rapture-%28Atheist%29-Survival-Guide&p=1933906#post1933906 Post Rapture (Atheist) Survival Guide You guys will NEVER believe this!!

I think the persecutors are the first to claim they are persecuted. That site is for morons, as you can see. The theological notion of a "rapture" was invented 170 years ago. In 1830, in Port Glasgow, Scotland, fifteen year old Margaret MacDonald had a vision concerning the return of Christ. Her vision was adopted by John Nelson Darby a British minister and founder of a denomination called the "Plymouth Brethern." In 1909, an American, C. I. Scofield, pubished an annotated version of the "King James" translation of the Bible called the "Scofield Reference Bible." Scofield's annotations were based on the theology of John Nelson Darby. The "Scofield Reference Bible" popularized the teachings of Darby. Fundamentalist Christians in the U. S. adopted Scofield's Bible as authoritative. With the rise of fundamentalism in the U. S. in recent years, the popularity of the theological notion of the "rapture" has also gained popularity.

Jhn 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Jhn 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jhn 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Jhn 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Jhn 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Jhn 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Jhn 3:9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Jhn 3:10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Jhn 3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. Jhn 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you [of] heavenly things? Jhn 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, [even] the Son of man which is in heaven. Jhn 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: Jhn 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Confusing situation with a girl I really like, I need help?

Confusing situation with a girl I really like, I need help?
So last month my friend's boyfriend broke up with her, he lives in North Dakota (we're in Oregon) since he goes to school there. She and I started getting close and we went on a few dates and I asked her to homecoming. We kissed and were really close on one date in particular. Last week however, he sent her emails saying he wants her back. He knew we were getting close and did this anyways. She is really confused about what to do... We went to homecoming together last night and had a good time, but I still don't know where her heart is. Personally I think it would be foolish for her to take him back since he can't truly be there for her with the distance between them. It's incredibly selfish of him and I'm worried she'll fall for it. I really want to talk to him on facebook and discuss it, but I think that may not be a good idea... I really like her and I really want this to work out in my favor, I've never felt closer to a girl before and she is beyond beautiful. I can't stop thinking about her. She's a smart girl and I hope she makes the right decision. Is there anything I can do to either convince her I'm the better choice or convince him to back off? Thanks in advance

I think you should tell her exactly how you told us you felt about her in your question. You need to let her know how much you care about her and how special and beautiful she is to you. Trust me, NOTHING is more attractive in a guy than that. :) Good luck! You're a very genuine guy and you deserve this girl :)

Should I "break up" with my lifelong friend?

Should I "break up" with my lifelong friend?
I have this friend...her and I basically grew up together. In high school...she kind of was like the "pack leader" where everyone followed and wanted to be with...in high school I was pretty lame! LOL! To make a long story short...I don't even know where to begin...cause there is so much to write. My friend and I argue alot. She hasn't been the healthiest with a brain tumor and brain surgery so I humor her but lately I've been arguing back cause it's getting out of control. Her husband has this friend who I used to date...I met his friend through her and her husband...when we met they were not even dating at the time. To make a long story short..this friend treated me really bad..and I allowed it. My friend always defends this guy because he is her husband's friend and always goes against me saying I was full of bullshit cause I trashed him and all I was a hook up to him...when I was seeing this guy .. it seemed more like a hookup. This is all ancient history now but back in April me, my friend and her sister in law all went to Las Vegas and we got to talking about exes...I mentioned this guy that is friends with her husband and she started going off on me and yelling at me about how I am full of shit and that this guy only saw me as a hookup (meanwhile the night before she was at a club with him) ... I yelled at her back and told her to shut up cause this was stuff she was bringing up that took place like over 8 years ago...I walked out and left the rest. She never compliments me, she knocks down everything in my life that means something to me....I posted a pic of me and another friend...the pic was of us at this friends wedding and I was her maid of honor...well my "lifelong" friend commented on facebook for all to see that I need to stand up straight and not slouch otherwise it's a nice pic. This lifelong friend did not have me in her wedding but had the guy i dated as the best man. She posts pics of him on facebook. Also...she has been there for me a few times and lent me money....listened to me vent about my problems...but I noticed that when I vent to her....she turns it around as me trash talking the person and calls me phony...and says gee if you're like this...how do I know you're not phony to me...she says this after knowing me all these years! She even went as far as to accuse me of being in love with her 17 year old brother...I was 28 or 29 at the time all because i got mad at him for something on facebook... There is this guy at work I was sort of seeing and it didnt work out...she went ahead and befriended him against my wishes and even went as far as meeting him in grand central but saying they bumped into each other...this guy and I had issues but we worked them out....but when we had issues and I would discuss them with her..she would take his side and call me mentally ill. This is the big one...almost done: I used to work at a radio station where one of the talk show hosts is a big time medical professional in NYC...this talk show host got my friend an appointment with one of the top neurologists in NYC to perform her surgery...afterwards my friend's husband didnt know how to thank me but not one person in her family did or knew I did this....Im not looking for gratitude but my friend now constantly knocks down the radio station and calls everyone there losers!!!! What do I do? I have known her more than half my life plus she's been so sick...how do I just drop her when I'm also friends with some of her family members???

You're trying to rationalize an emotional decision. Relationships -- even long and good ones -- can become toxic. It sounds like that's where you are. Drop contact. If she connects with you and asks why you've been distant, tell her you felt your relationship had run its course. Explain how ugly she'd been. She'll have to own up one way or the other. Her illness does not exonerate her from treating you poorly.

It honestly sounds like you're now friends with her simply out of obligation - only because you've known her for so long. There really isn't any substance to this friendship if all there is is an exchange of favors but not respect. You aren't obligated to be friends with anyone. So, you know her family -- but if she's not being a good friend any more, then things have obviously run their course and it's not her family's fault. It's sad, what's she's going through, but you need to do what's right for YOU - YOU are the only one taking care of yourself in the end and friendships today seem to come down to obligation simply because you "grew up" with them. However, if you're not going to grow "old "with these friends, and it's not beneficial your life, why hang around? Is this someone you want to be a part of your life forever??? Really think about it and think about all the potential friends you will make in your lifetime - is this one person worth it just because you shared the same toys growing up? The length of your question proves that you're trying to justify having her in your life and you're trying to make sense of the drama surrounding this friendship. Sometimes, enough is enough...

friend advice, help please 10 points!?
***this might be a bit long but 10 points for whoever answers the best*** okay, so in like 5 weeks im going on a 7 day cruise that my parents got me for my birthday, and they purchased 2 tickets so i can take a friend. like 10 weeks ago i asked stacie, my best friend of 10+ years if she wanted to go (of course she said yes, because EVERYTHING is 100% free to her.) well, like 1-2 weeks after we discussed it, she invited me to go to las vegas with her for 2 days (friday and saturday, she asked me on wednesday) and i told her i cant friday, but what about saturday and sunday instead, well she agreed and was like yeah i can do that, were gonna have so much fun yada yada. well on friday i get home from work, and i see on her facebook "having a blast in las vegas with krista!" so of course im pissed off, and rightfully so(at least in my mind), so after she got back i confronted her about it, and she was like "sorry but i didnt want to wait" or something like that, and we got into a big argument because i didnt make any plans that weekend and stuff. well we didnt talk for awhile, and i wasn't about to talk to her until she apologized because she hadn't, and after like 2 weeks i asked my other good friend kendra if she wanted to go on the cruise with me, and she said yes. a few days later i talked to kendra about it again and she still was going, then a few days later i talked to stacie and she apologized, but i didnt mention the cruise (because i want to take kendra), and i talked to kendra today because she still was making sure were going and i told her yes. im afraid stacie is going to be p!ssed when she finds out im going with kendra, and i dont wanna fight with her again, because she is my best friend ever. so IDK what to do, im taking kendra and not stacie, but IDK!

Okay what I would do is, Talk to Stacie. Ask her about Vegas. Then tell her your sorry you were asking her to wait and you really don't want to fight. Then say, well I'm thinking about taking kendra on the cruise. I know I asked you but when you took ( BLANK ) to vegas I knida asked kendra. I hope everything works out!

just explain it to her if she fights with you. if stacie is really your friend she will understand.
5 :
Just tell her that you're sorry but you got pissed and invited someone else and you can't tell kendra that you're taking her. Oh and be like you dont want to fight again. Basically, what you just said in this question :D. Have fun! ~Nikki

Just explain the situation to her and how devastated you were when you found out that she went to Vegas without you. That'll for sure get her to apologize & I'm positive that she'll understand:) & I hope you have funnn on your cruise:)

Should my teacher really be talking about this stuff? I don't think so..?

Should my teacher really be talking about this stuff? I don't think so..?
All right.. I'm a 10th grader in 9th grade physical science. I don't think you needed to know that. But anyways, ever since I started this class 2nd semester, I've always heard her tell personal things. Like, how she was going down to Florida to adopt/gain guardianship of her nephew because his mother [her sister] died of a stroke. And when she finally got custody of him and brought him up here to Wisconsin, she told us his name and said that we should look him up on myspace and facebook. Then, today, there was this one girl who wasn't in class, and there's a rumor that she ran away. Our teacher told us she knew 5 other kids who ran away -- but she wouldn't tell us the names. Later, she called me over and asked if I knew if she ran away. I said no, but that a lot of freshmen have run away lately. Then, she said one of their names. Thank goodness I already knew she was missing, so she wasn't feeding me any new information. But do you think it's inappropriate for her to be discussing so many personal issues with her students? I do. Nick: She didn't know if this girl had run away. It was told to her by another student in class that she MIGHT have run away. Just so ya know.

it could just be that your teacher is trying to conect with what happened in her life to what's happening now
2 :
It's not very professional of her to be taking part in the rumors and gossip, no. Especially disclosing information about another student's personal affairs. It's possible she was instructed to let those that may be close to the student know that she has run away (the administration may have asked her teachers to inform other students to see if anyone knew about it already, or knew where she might have possibly gone to). So...if she was asked to do it by administration for the purpose of helping the child or locating him/her, that's not really a problem. Also, talking about students that have run away at points in their lives isn't necessarily wrong, as she didn't give any of the names of those ones. It's off topic, yes, but not a bad thing. Just idle chatter. Same thing with her nephew. Teachers will typically share their personal lives with students, especially in high school, where the student-teacher relationship has evolved in to something more than just 'educator and learner.' Plus the nephew might have been around your age, and she was just trying to get him used to the area by introducing him indirectly to some of his peers or future classmates. Maybe he doesn't have any friends?
3 :
I think you should tell your teacher that it makes you uncomfortable for her to tell you things like that and ask her to please stop. she is a teacher and should not be discussing personal things with her students and if it doesn't stop i would go to the principle and let him/her know.
4 :
you're right

What should I do about my relationship?

What should I do about my relationship?
I have been with my girlfriend for about 13 months now. We met each other online (not through a dating site, just happened to be fans of a subject, talked on aim, then on facebook, then texting, then calling, then we finally met, one of those once in a life time things) and I was attending a college in Indiana and she was in a college in Wisconsin. We both wanted to be together, and I finally decided to transfer schools to her school in Wisconsin. It went fine and everything, however the school ended up being more costly than I thought, and I will have to return to my much much more grant friendly school this fall in Indiana. She is going to return to her college in Wisconsin. First, the plan was for her to stay in Wisconsin during summer, work, and save up some money, and transfer to my school in Indiana. However they told her she is a few credits short of transferring so she has to go back to Wisconsin. So she has stayed with me in Indiana at my home for the summer, and we have been really sad and stressing out about what we should do. We both truly love each other and feel that even if we were apart from each other that we would still want to be together. First she was just going to go back to Wisconsin for the few credits and still come to my school but now she is questioning that and may end up just staying in her state for her schooling. She is a sophomore and I'm a junior. It's really depressing to be apart from her and I don't know what to do. We had a bit of a flare up the other night about being so sad about being a part for the first time in our relationship we actually discussed if we should break up so were not sad apart from each other but that got thrown down. Any and all feedback is really appreciated. I am just at a loss for what to do. Thanks.

Thats just part of it man. If you're really comitted and love eachother then nothing can or will break you apart unless thats what you want and think would be best. The fact is your not the only ones going through this, theres many people with issues like that due to military,college, work, etc. As said if you're truly comitted theres nothing to worry about. One day when you're both out of college and doing well in life you'll be very thankful that you decided to stay together. This time you 2 are seperated because of college is a very very short time compared to the life you will be together. Think of it this way, you have married couples being seperated for years years due to military. this is a very common thing, if they're making it for years and years apart why wouldnt you be able to make it for your short time? You really are a lot better off than many other relationships out there even though it does suck and seems like forever.
