Christians: Why did Jesus irrationally curse a fig tree?

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

He curses the fig tree for not bearing figs off-season. Plus, wasn’t he the one who decided when that tree would bear figs in the first place?

Mark 11:13-4
And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever.
Plus, why is he going to intentionally make it harder for hungry people to get food?

How do I connect to AIM on my Blackberry Pearl, network T-Mobile?

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

I’m using the default messenger platform on my Pearl but am unable to connect to AIM. It goes to 80% progress [retrieving buddies] before I’m given a connection error message. When I log onto AIM on my computer later on, it’s automatically created a mobile buddies group although my blackberry never actually got to the messenger. TCP connections are set up properly, I’m not sure what other options there are to fix this.

Are the flourescent lights that I have for my indoor seedlings ok? and do they provide the colors I need?

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

I am growing papayas, mangos, avocados, pineapple, tangerine, oranges, and cherries. All of the plants are growing and healthy, but I have been reading a lot on the suucess of fruiting indoor plants and the types of light they need. I have a window that is about 5 feet high and 4 feet wide that I have my plants by. But we have some shade trees nearby. I have about 300 plants on shelves I made with 2 lights fixtures on each row for a total of 2 four feet lights per row. The lights are 48 in, 32 watt, t8, daylight deluxe
light output is 2800 lumens
energy used 32 watts
color rendering 85
color temp 6500k

Is this ok for my seedlings? or should I get 1 cool light and 1 warm light to go in each fixture. Which has a better balance? Any suggestions to make my plants grow and produce fruit faster is greatly appreciated. I already have time release fertilizer, all plants are in perfect health. but i see that certain light can cause an unbabalance in growth when it comes to veggies and fruit..
one said i need warm and cool light does what i have provide both?
there are different types of flourescent lights which is why i am asking about the red vs blue light. are the lights i have a combo of the red and blue or do i need to buy a red and blue. one helps with flowering the other helps with energy.
even plants appear to be healthy they could be lacking in the long run as far as the spectrum of colors. red, orange vs more blue.

If Jesus is SO LOVING, exactly WHY would he curse a fig tree to death?

Monday, September 28th, 2009

From: http://listverse.com/bizarre/top-10-bizarre-biblical-tales/

Found in: Matthew 21:19; Mark 11:13-14

So, Jesus is walking from Bethany and he’s feeling a bit peckish. He encounters a fig tree, but unfortunately it is barren as it’s the off season for figs. Annoyed, Jesus demands the fig tree bear him fruit, however the fig tree doesn’t respond (it’s a tree), so Jesus, in an act of uncharacteristic rashness, curses the fig tree to death. This story is bizarre for many reasons, but mainly for how little it means to the Jesus story and how Jesus seems to react so harshly. OK, so he’s hungry, and we all get a little cranky when hungry, but come on, the fig tree had done nothing wrong. This just seems like abuse of powers to me.

Does anyone have a home-made recipe for buttercream icing?

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Hey all,

I have a question regarding butter cream icing on top of a cake. I’ll be preparing a white cake with a white chocolate and raspberry filling; I will also be using fondant on top and the cake will be tiered.

So, my question is…do you have a recipe for buttercream icing? Something not too sweet because I don’t want the fondant and the filling AND the icing to be overly-sweet.

Your help would be GREATLY appreciated.

What’s a good way to change the date of your flight reservation without paying the $100 penalty?

Monday, September 28th, 2009

You know, I’m not trying to con the airlines. I’m just a student, trying to get home. Because of class schedule changes, I need to change the date of my departure flight. I’m willing to pay any fare differences, but I think an extra $100 penalty fee is too steep.
So if there’s a way to get around this, one that doesn’t involve yelling, crying, or other irrational displays of emotion, please share!
