I have Windows Vista and my wireless icon suddenly disappeared from my toolbar. How do I get it to reappear? I tried doing right click-> properties->toolbar but in the list of applications to choose from, it’s not there.
I know I can just click start ->connect to, but I liked that icon there.
Help?
Open up Control Panel, find Network Properties. Open it up, and find the setting for "Show icon in notification area when connected" and "notify me when this connection has limited or no connectivity" and make sure they’re checked.
PS..I don’t have Vista, so the steps might be a bit different.

I need to gain weight, but right now I am in cross country and running on varsity. If I tried to gain weight now, would I become slower?
Are talking about gaining 20 lbs by the end of the season? If not, try to gain the weight but considering all the running you must be doing…
Good luck with your running!

Compared to just looking at our own interests? I need different ways , and Chap. and vs. from Bible.
It’s often a matter of balance. The Bible encourages Christians to mind their own business, and not be busybodies. But at the same time, keep an eye on the interests of others, in the sense of caring for each others needs, and helping them wherever we can to their advantage.
"However, let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a busybody in other people’s matters" – 1 Peter 4:15
"And to make it your aim to live quietly and to mind your own business and work with your hands" – 1 Thessalonians 4:11
Naturally, this is in reference to being a ‘busybody’ and trying to butt into peoples personal interests, for which they do not wish intrusion.
So on the other hand, the Bible does encourage us to ‘look out’ for the interests of others, in the sense that we loyally support our brothers and sisters in the faith. We are not to be aloof, but actively care about our friends in the faith
"doing nothing out of contentiousness or out of egotism, but with lowliness of mind considering that the others are superior to you, keeping an eye, not in personal interest upon just your own matters, but also in personal interest upon those of the others" – Phillipians 2:3,4
In doing this, we do not contradict the counsel in Peter or Thessalonians. We actually work in cooperation with that counsel; in that we seek the advantage of others.
"Let each one keep seeking, not his own [advantage], but that of the other person" – 1 Corinthians 10:24
"On the other hand, we exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, speak consolingly to the depressed souls, support the weak, be long-suffering toward all. See that no one renders injury for injury to anyone else, but always pursue what is good toward one another and to all others" – 1 Thessalonians 5:14,15

This is kind of odd because I have Lutheran Grandmothers, Catholic Grandfathers and other members of my family are Russian Orthodox. What’s the difference between Catholic (Eastern European), and Russian Orthodox?
The Ministry of Saint Peter the Pope.
Both agree in a unique ministry for the Pope, but disagree with the range of authority. Very close to bridging this gap between this great schism of over a 1000 years. Pray that we may be One Body in Christ completely.

The Bible and ancient church had married bishops? When and why did the Orthodox do away with them?
The Eastern custom of limiting candidacy for the office of Bishop to celibate clergy is only that: a custom like that of total clerical celibacy among the modern Roman Catholics. On that basis is it acceptable practice to require that Bishops in the Eastern churches be celibate. However, the claim that a married man cannot be Consecrated a Bishop is erroneous Sacramental Theology. It is a denial of the Holy Orders of present day Bishops because they are derived from the married Apostles and married Bishops of the early years of the Church. It is also a claim that what was once a valid practice of the Church is now heterodox. It is a claim that the fashion of the times and ethnic custom are the arbiters of what is proper in the Church. That is schismatic thinking. The fact that the local council which tried to impose this custom was itself rejected indicates the problematical nature of this question.
The case for married Bishops has Orthodox precedents. After all, eleven of the men that Christ chose as Apostles were married and many of the Bishops of the early Church were married. [St. Matthew 8:14.]
The Apostolic Canons, which follow Holy Scriptures, accept married Bishops. The local anti-mission council of Trullo (also called the Quinisext council) which opposed married Bishops was unratified at the time of the Great Schism of 1054. The Undivided Church rejected the idea of requiring all churches to elect only monks as Bishops. The only canons of Trullo which have ecumenical status are Canon 73 and 82 because they were the only canons read into the record of the Seventh Ecumenical Council. The Seventh Ecumenical Council resisted wholesale written approval of Trullo, and Trullo is not listed among the Councils accepted by the Seventh Ecumenical Council. One reason Trullo may have been rejected is that it states that valid Baptisms must be performed only in properly constructed church buildings. That is incorrect Sacramental Theology which would invalidate Baptisms by missionaries, or Baptisms in churches which are under persecution by the "State."
The Scriptural readings of the Consecration of a Bishop of the Celtic churches speak of married Bishops with children. Saint Patrick was himself a monk, but asked a friend to suggest a "a man of one wife and one child" for ordination. Saint Patrick decided to make the candidate, Saint Fiacc, the first native-born Bishop in Ireland. This choice may have been influenced by the fact that Saint Hilary of Poitiers had been a married Bishop. The father of the St. Gregory Nazianzus the Theologian, from Neocaesarea in Cappadocia, was also a married Bishop. In any case, Saint Patrick’s Consecration of Saint Fiacc was considered legitimate by the Undivided Church.

My family are going to church this christmas, but they wondered if i wanted to go to catholic or Protestant church as my dad is protestant and my mum is catholic.
But (I was too embarrassed to point out) I didn’t know the difference!
Can anyone help me out?
There are several very important differences between Catholics and Protestants. While there have been some attempts over the last several years to find common ground between the two groups, the fact is that the differences remain, and they are just as important today as they were at the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. Following is brief summary of some of the more important differences.
One of the first major differences between Catholicism and Protestantism is the issue of the sufficiency and authority of Scripture. Protestants believe that the Bible alone is the sole source of God’s special revelation to mankind, and as such it teaches us all that is necessary for our salvation from sin. Protestants view the Bible as the standard by which all Christian behavior must be measured. This belief is commonly referred to as “Sola Scriptura” and is one of the “Five Solas” (sola being Latin for “alone”) that came out of the Protestant Reformation as summaries of some of the important differences between Catholics and Protestants.
While there are many verses in the Bible that establish its authority and its sufficiency for all matters of faith and practice, one of the clearest is 2 Timothy 3:16 where we see that “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” Catholics on the other hand reject the doctrine of “Sola Scriptura” and do not believe that the Bible alone is sufficient. They believe that both the Bible and sacred Roman Catholic tradition are equally binding upon the Christian. Many Roman Catholics doctrines, such as purgatory, praying to the saints, worship or veneration of Mary, etc. have little or no basis at all in Scripture, but are based solely on Roman Catholic traditions. Essentially the Roman Catholic Church’s denial of “Sola Scriptura” and their insistence that both the Bible and their “Sacred Tradition” are equal in authority undermines the sufficiency, authority and completeness of the Bible. The view of Scripture is at the root of many of, if not all, the differences between Catholics and Protestants.
Another major but closely related difference between Catholicism and Protestantism is over the office and authority of the Pope. According to Catholicism the Pope is the “Vicar of Christ” (a vicar is a substitute), and takes the place of Jesus as the visible head of the Church. As such he has the ability to speak “ex cathedra” (with authority on matters of faith and practice), and when he does so his teachings are considered infallible and binding upon all Christians. On the other hand, Protestants believe that no human being is infallible, and that Christ alone is the head of the church. Catholics rely on apostolic succession as a way of trying to establishing the Pope’s authority. But Protestants believe that the church’s authority does not come from apostolic succession, but instead is derived from the Word of God. Spiritual power and authority does not rest in the hands of a mere man, but in the very Word of God recorded in Scripture. While Catholicism teaches that only the Catholic Church can properly and correctly interpret the Bible, Protestants believe that the Bible teaches that God sent the Holy Spirit to indwell all born again believers, enabling all believers to understand the message of the Bible.
This is clearly seen in passages such as John 14:16-17: “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.” (See also John 14:26 and 1 John 2:27). While Catholicism teaches that only the Roman Catholic Church has the authority and power to interpret the Bible, Protestantism acknowledges the biblical doctrine of the priesthood of all believers, and that individual Christians can trust the Holy Spirit for guidance in reading and interpreting the Bible for themselves.
A third major difference between Catholicism and Protestantism is how one is saved. Another of the “Five Solas” of the reformation was “Sola Fide” (faith alone), which affirms the biblical doctrine of justification by grace alone through faith alone because of Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-10). However, according to Roman Catholicism, man cannot be saved by faith alone in Christ alone. They teach that the Christian must rely on faith plus “meritorious works” in order to be saved. Essential to the Roman Catholic doctrine of salvation are the Seven Sacraments, which are: baptism, confirmation, the Eucharist, Penance, anointing of the sick, Holy Orders, and matrimony.

I write christian songs (lyrics) that I would like to hear in some rock or heavy christian groups. How would I go about getting my christian lyrics to potential artists?
Personally I think the best thing to do would be to listen for any christian artists in the area that play the style you are writing for and then go and talk to them. Do you have music written to these songs? It is possible the artist would want an idea of what you wrote the song to sound like.

I know you need leg and calf muscles. I’m mainly wondering about upper body muscles that I can work to be more efficient in cross country.
Running is an all-around sport. Since you’re wondering about upper-body, I’ll honest and tell you that everything in the upper-body will play a sufficient role in running.
Make sure you have a strong core (abs and back). A strong core keeps your body up and balanced and helps you keep your form during fatigue.
Exercises: Crunches with your knees bent and with your legs up at 90 degrees, side crunches, and back "flops" for your lower back.
You arms and shoulders give you that extra pump when your legs are tired. They will help you power through that stride or that last mile or up those hills when you need it most.
Exercises: Push-ups, pull-ups, bicep curls, over-hand claps, and anything with weights.
Your chest keeps your body up and clear to get enough airflow to your lungs.
Exercises: Push-ups (regular or elevated).
If you want to strengthen your body for endurance purposes, make sure you do more reps and less rest and it would also help if you did your workouts after you run. You’ll be more tired, but in the end, you’ll be feeling stronger after you get used to it.
Hope this helps, good luck and God bless!
