I have in mind the cross breeding type when the dairy or beef cattle cows are breeded with the bulls of other superior breed.
For example you take an ordinary cow and breed it with a limousine bull in order to get cross breed cattle that is of better quality.
No, it's not cloning. In my language it would be "smother cross breeding" meaning that the unwanted genes do not play any role already in 4th generation.
they are hybrids

Also, a book that ties it all together in relevant historical context?
I'm not looking at an adapted or modified Bible if I can help it, I don't want to endeavor in such a convoluted tale. I want something that sums it all up concisely, cutting out the fat.
This isn't about faith or coming closer to understand God- I want to know facts, as this is strictly research based.
There is a very concise little book called Halley's Bible Handbook that takes each book of the Bible and explains what it is saying, who its major players are , and even explains what the ancient culture, calendar, money and measurements are about. Very readable and understandable.

I saw this video on utube about Orthodox Christianity, and one of the questions said it was hard to be a convert. Why is that?
Because you have to swear to their tenets.

I need to know, since I'm not catholic, and we have to take theology at my school.I really need help with this topic, since we need to know the meaning of the cycle and the meaning of expierencing it again. Any help is welcomed!
There is tons of info here:
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03158a.htm
As defined by the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Liturgical Year is "The celebration throughout the year of the mysteries of the Lord's birth, life, death, and Resurrection in such a way that the entire year becomes a 'year of the Lord's grace'. Thus the cycle of the liturgical year and the great feasts constitute the basic rhythm of the Christian's life of prayer, with its focal point at Easter" (§1168).

I've become really inconvenienced lately due to the fact that my task bar (at the bottom of the screen) overlaps the screen tips for the icons on it! When I put my mouse over a shortcut/icon on the task bar, the screen tip appears BEHIND the task bar…
I've tried fumbling around with the task bar properties, but nothing seems to work! Please help!

Right now I use all Luxilon, since my arm is hurting a little my coach said to use a softer cross string. What would be a soft string with good playbility.
The most popular, and probably best choice if you can afford it is a natural gut string such as Babolat Vs Natural Gut. The most common cross for a club player using big banger would be a synthetic gut such as Prince Synthetic Gut or Gosen Synthetic Gut. You may also try a multifilament string which is softer than synthetic gut.

I recently read "101 Myths in the Bible" where the author, Gary Greenberg, points out inconsistencies, errors and faulty logic in the bible. He presents his information logically and in an interesting way. I know people of "faith" won't be swayed, but how in the world do they rationalize believing in such obvious mythology in view of the facts?
Here are three quick easy ways to prove it to yourself.
I. First: You exist.
If matter-energy can NOT be created, how did we all get here in the first place? But here we all are 'existing'. This implies the very hand of God leaving every atheist staring in the mirror asking themselves, "But how?"
II. Second: ‘Big Bang’ and other cosmological evidence.
If you truly understand quantum mechanics then you will know that the Big Bang theory requires a creator by fiat. Think of the universe in reverse until it's small enough to be completely described by quantum mechanics alone. In order for the universe to start unfolding into what we see now, our universe's specific wave function had to be brought into existence as a certain possibility out of an infinite number of other possible wave functions that had to collapse or at least decohere. At this fuzzy nanoscopic beginning, this required a 'Prime Observer' to enable this and set the expansion of the universe into motion and those initial conditions became the very facets of physical law. What we refer to as this finely tuned 'reality'. This need for an 'observer' comes from the basic quantum mechanical concept known as Shrodinger's Cat. Also, we must remember that the universe is being said to have come from nowhere which implies an act of 'creation'.
This ever increasing expansion of our universe is alluded to 11 times in the Bible:
Job 9:8 ; Psalm 104:2 ; Isaiah 40:22 ; Isaiah 42:5 ; Isaiah 44:24 ; Isaiah 45:12 ; Isaiah 48:13 ; Isaiah 51:13 ; Jeremiah 10:12 ; Jeremiah 51:15 ; Zechariah 12:1
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_bang
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrodingers_cat
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_function_collapse
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decoherence
The Bible also alludes to the ‘Big Rip’:
Revelation 6:14 ; Isaiah 34:4 ; 2 Peter 3:10
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_rip
III. Third: The fulfillment of hundreds of Biblical prophecies.
For instance here is one that was prophesied almost 2 millennia ago, yet has manifested itself now. Revelation 13:16-18

I am a christian but not catholic, my husband is catholic. On occasion I attend with him, but feel very uncomfortable and out of place. I know I cannot take communion but what about the holy water and crossing yourself thing, I get the meaning and do believe but not sure what is appropriate for me.
Thank you for showing respect by asking. And welcome.
Please feel free to participate in as much as you feel comfortable except, as you have already said, receiving the Eucharist.
Please:
• If you feel comfortable then pray and sing with the rest of the congregation.
• Sit and stand when everyone else does.
• If you feel comfortable kneeling during the Consecration then do so, otherwise sit.
• Out of respect do not to receive Communion, according to local custom, and only if you wish, you may approach the altar with your arms crossed over your chest to receive a blessing.
Here is an outline of the Mass:
• Introductory Rites
. • Entrance (All stand)
. • Greeting
. • Act of Penitence
. • Kyrie Eleison (Greek for "Lord have mercy")
. • Gloria
. • Opening Prayer
• Liturgy of the Word
. • First Reading – usually from the Old Testament (All sit)
. • Responsorial Psalm
. • Second Reading – usually from a New Testament Epistle
. • Gospel Reading (All stand)
. • Homily (All sit for the sermon)
. • Profession of Faith (the Nicene Creed) (All stand)
. • Prayer of the Faithful (prayers of petition)
• Liturgy of the Eucharist
. • The Preparation of the Gifts – the bread and wine are brought forward and placed on the altar, our monetary offerings are also collected at this time (All sit)
. • The Prayer over the Offerings (All stand)
. • The Eucharistic Prayer – during this prayer the bread and wine change into the Body and Blood of Christ (Catholics kneel, visitors may kneel or sit)
. • The Lord's Prayer (All stand)
. • The Rite of Peace (We offer each other a sign of peace)
. • The Breaking of the Bread
. • Communion – non-Catholics are requested out of respect not to receive Communion, they may approach the altar with their arms crossed over their chest to receive a blessing (Stand or kneel according to local custom)
• The Concluding Rites
. • Announcements (All sit)
. • Blessing (All stand)
. • Dismissal
. • Procession
For more information, see the General Instruction of the Roman Missal: http://www.usccb.org/liturgy/current/chapter2.shtml#sect3a

With love in Christ.

I wanna get really good for cross country season and on some of my rest days my coach said i should cross train. what are the best cross training exercises for running?
Any aerobic/anaerobic sports would be great however go with something you enjoy or would really make you a better runner. Sports that would help would include XC skiing or Nordic track machines; mountain biking, swimming, skating. Also try rock climbing, resistance training or ice skating. Good luck!

I am trying to get a point across to my daughter, and i am having trouble finding a bible passage for her to read that explains people do not appreciate what they have until they finally lose it. Does anyone know a specific bible story? Thank you.
Try Luke 15:11-32, the Parable of the Prodigal (extravigantly wasteful) Son.
The story is about a young man who thinks he doesn't need to be held back by his family anymore and decides to strike out on his own. He asks his father for his inheritance and his father agrees. The boy leaves home, wastes his entire fortune, ends up slopping pigs for a living (not exactly what his Jewish parents had in mind for him, I'm sure) and being miserable.
He finally swallows his pride and heads back home to beg his father for a job, any job, even the most humble job on the family farm. What happens next is surprising.
