I see icons that looks like people use their webcams. If it is possible, how is it done? Is there a program for it? And if I was to have a webcam how would I be able to make an icon right now if I wanted to?
take the several pictures you want to use as your icon. then go to http://www.pimpmyicon.com/createIconStandard.php and use that tool to create your icon. you pick your frame one at a time and upload each of the snapshots and it'll combine them to make one animated icon.

I know this is kind of weird, but when you think about it how do the deer to cross at the yellow "deer crossing" signs?
deer take the same paths all the time unless they are scared off. the
deer are already crossing there. you can see where they cross because
they have been doing it so long you can see little trails. so the signs are
put at known areas of deer crossings to let you know that you are in
an area that animals might be crossing the road. they put the signs
where they know deer are already crossing.they aren't just putting up
signs and hoping a deer will see a sign and know their supposed to cross there.

The Bible Experience – what is it? I downloaded some of their books of the Bible today and thoroughly enjoyed listening to Genesis. It gave me chills and brought me to tears at times. But I wonder and would like to know from objective folks – who/what is the Bible experience, and what is your opinion of its recordings? What do you think of the actors they chose to do the voices? Thank you.
I don't like music with the reading. But dramatized bible is great. It does give you another perspective.

Basically, I want to know how they believe a person should act. I know the Catholic Faith has strong beliefs about no sex before marriage and being pro-life etc. I know it varies depending on the person, but what are basic morals that Protestant Churches think people should live by?
There is no protestant church, rather a bunch of separate denominations which are labeled protestant. Some of the denominations are centralized and others are just groups of semi-independent local churches. They run the gamut as far as their understanding of morals. You'd have to specify which one you were interested in or what moral dilemma you were focusing on.

I have absolutely NOTHING against the Roman Catholic church, it's just what I've been seeing recently.
Who knew that South America wasn't part of "the West"….
Still, I think it's true that in the most modernized societies a placidity regarding religion has become the trend. In very modernized societies like the U.S., religion is becoming less and less important to people (who concern themselves more and more with the material world, regardless of their religion). This is probably why the "Jesus for Money" preachers are doing so well in the U.S. – those who promise wealth as the result of being a faithful Christian are gaining huge followings.

I had a Yahoo mail icon up until yesterday when a family member uninstalled something in the add/remove section of my computer. As a result, the icon is missing. I do not want internet explorer shortcut, but the original Yahoo mail icon. No one seems to know how! Do you? The icon is not in recycling bin, and all other ideas do not produce this icon, but only a shortcut with a picture of an “e” which I do not want!
Use Internet explorer to log on to yahoo mail but don`t log in.When
yahoo mail come`s on your screen right click open on any area of the web page a drop down box will come up click on where it say`s create shortcut and it will put a direct link to yahoo mail on your desk top it should not have a big e for the Icon it should have a big red Y for a Icon if you don`t want that for an Icon then right click on the on the Icon for yahoo mail that you have and another drop down box will come up click on where it say`s properties`s a new box will come up click on the tab that say`s web document thatclick on change Icon select the Icon that you want click on ok then click on apply then ok again.and it will change your Icon or you can make your own Icon with free software called icofx it can be used to make Icon`s out of your picture`s or you can do the reverse make picture`s out of your icon`s and you can do a lot other thing`s with it. This is where you can get it.

Where in the Bible does it say that abortion is wrong?
Here are some, they don't specifially say abortion, as it was not around, but for arguing these can be used to imply there is life to an unborn featus :
Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers? (Job 31:15).
Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you even at my mother's breast. From birth I was cast upon you; from my mother's womb you have been my God (Psalm 22:9-10).
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be (Psalm 139:13-16).
This is what the LORD says—he who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you…(Isaiah 44:2).
Listen to me, O house of Jacob, all you who remain of the house of Israel, you whom I have upheld since you were conceived, and have carried since your birth. Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you (Isaiah 46:3-4).
And now the LORD says—he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself, for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD and my God has been my strength (Isaiah 49:5).
The word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations" (Jeremiah 1:4-5).
When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy" (Luke 1:41-42, 44).

I'm a baptist and this coming sunday I am going to mass with a good friend. I've never been to a Catholic service before but I do know that typically non-Catholics do not participate in Communion. So how do you not participate?
Do you still go to the priest at the front of the church? Do you cross your arms? Or do you just tell the priest that you are not catholic? Or do you just stay in your seat?
Any answers help!
Communion is not required of everyone. You simply stay in your seat. I am sure your friend would be more upset if you did try to receive communion.
At that time the people receiving communion will to up to the front to receive it. Those who do not simply sit or kneel. Often a hymn is sung at this time, so there will be something for you to do besides feeling awkward.
