2 AnswersChemistry7 years agoBiphasic Sleep Schedule?
Hey, I'm looking for a biphasic sleep schedule that fits around my daily schedule. I am a student and go to school from about 7:30 to 3:00. Also, in the spring I have baseball from 3:00 to 6:00. I was wondering if there is a biphasic or polyphasic sleep cycle that I could try that allows me to sleep less or the same amount of hours and feel rested. Right now, I sleep from about 12:30 to 7:00 and feel tired most of the time.
2 AnswersAlternative Medicine9 years agoThinks in Christianity that make absolutely no sense?
I have a few questions that in my opinion make no sense, but for some Christians, or extreme Christians I should say, make logical sense. What are your opinions?
1.) If you are not baptized, you are condemned to hell.
This makes no sense to me. If a baby is born with a medical problem and dies seconds after being born, they go to hell because they were not baptized? Why?
2.) Gays are sinners because they were born with the "wrong" sexual orientation?
This also makes no sense. Just because you're born a certain way, it makes it a sin. Also, I've heard that they just shouldn't act on their temptations, but that seems unrealistic. Try asking someone that is straight to not act on temptations. It just seems like there is hatred there for no reason.
3.) This isnt really a rule, but what's with all the obviously unjust stuff in the bible?
In the bible it says you can have a slave. I think we can all agree that that is not right. Also you can beat your slave and as long as they don't die you're fine. Again, makes no sense in my opinion.
4.) Why is god supposed to be forgiving yet he flooded the world killing people? Isn't he supposed to forgive people of their sins, not kill everyone if they have sinned?
5.) Why doesn't god rid the world of disease, famine, and war? If he is all powerful couldn't he easily get rid of cancer and aids and war? Why doesn't he? Why is there so much suffering in a world that a perfect being created?
6.) This is my last question. Who wrote the old testament? If it is all about god, were humans alive while this was happening, and if so, did people witness it and then right about it? And if people didn't exist, them where did they get the stories from? Basically who wrote the old testament and where did they get the information from?
3 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoDid god create an imperfect world?
So I was thinking about this yesterday and I figured I'd ask for other peoples opinions. If god is perfect and all powerful, how did the world he create end up with war, disease, famine, and many other things that cause death and torture? I then thought, well when god created the earth it was perfect, and humans messed it up, but didn't he create humans, too. Humans were not created perfectly. Wouldn't this mean that the creator is not perfect if what he did and created is not perfect. I would love people's opinions. I was also reading other answers and someone said that it was like the game sims. If everyone was self sufficient and perfect, it wouldn't be that fun of a game. But the thing I can't imagine is how god could create diseases and war and famine just because he would find it boring. Let me know what you think.
21 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoBaseball Pitching Workout?
Hey guys, I am looking for a baseball workout. I am a pitcher, and next year is going to be my junior year of high school. Last year I was the second pitcher on the varsity team (mainly because the school is pretty small), and the senior that was our ace graduated. I want to step it up this year and am looking for mainly a running based workout that I can do throughout the offseason. I throw about 70, maxing at probably 74, but that might be a little generous. I am looking for something that can increase my velocity. I through a fastball, curve, and cutter. And I rely on the cutter a lot. I want to be able to throw mid 70's consistently next year, which I think is attainable. We have a track at our school and what I was thinking so far was running a mile everyday and 1/8 of a mile in sprints, and slowly increase the distance as I go. Is there anything else I can do, or is there anything more specific that will help me more? Oh, and does running actually help with pitching, because I have seen arguments on both sides. Thanks. And one last thing is please don't recommend a lifting program or something like that. I have tried things like that and get bored from them so fast. I feel like I am just walking in circles, but running I actually enjoy a little bit, and can monitor my progress more easily.
2 AnswersBaseball9 years agoWhat are the best YouTube Networks?
Hey, I have a YouTube channel that I obviously upload videos to. These videos are on electronics. I am interested in partnering with a network. Right now I do monetize my videos and make about $1 per 1,000 views. I have done a little research with networks and saw that they can give you all of the features that were available to original partners. Also I heard that they can increase the amount of money you can make. Are there any good networks that specialize in electronics or something along those lines, or would I be better off staying solo? Thanks.

I recently jail broke my iPad, and I'm wondering when iOS 5 comes out, what steps do I need to do to upgrade it. I'm assuming I can just sync it to my computer, upgrade it, and then just rejailbreak it using jailbreakme.com. Then can I just install all my Cydia apps again for free? I'm new to the jailbreak thing. Worst comes to worst, and I just won't upgrade it. Thanks in advance.
4 AnswersSoftware10 years agoHow much will this increase my pitching velocity?
So I'm a swing player on Varsity and JV for my high school baseball team, and I am going to start working out after school before practice with a few of my friends. Are practice is at 4:00 and my school day ends at 2:30, so theoretically I could work out for 1 1/2 hours. Obviously I don't want to overdo it and be sore for practice. Does any one have any tips. I planon doing this for the rest of the school year and then continuing into the summer. I am currently in 9th grade, 5'9 and about 135 lbs. I throw like high 60s maybe 70 top and I'm wondering hom much this will help. And also, the only really leg machines there are a calf machine and squats, if that helps at all.
1 AnswerOther - Sports1 decade agoNeed a Curveball grip?
So I am a high school freshmen and throw high 60s, low 70s. I am trying to develop a changup to accompany my fastball and curve. I have tried throwing a circle change, and have never been able to control it. I have also tried throwing a three finger change up, and I have been able to throw it for a strike, but it was only like 2-3 mph slower than my fastball. I was going to try the Vulcan change up. If you have any other suggestions or tips, everything is appreciated.
6 AnswersBaseball1 decade agoWhy can't there be more movies like Charlie Brown Christmas?
I just watched Charlie Brown Chritsmas an it really put me in the Christmas spirit. I don't get why movies today are all about Santa and the north pole, why can't they be about or at least mention jesus's birth, the true meaning of Christmas. I know its not politically correct, but I don't get why. The true meaning of chrotsmas is jesus's birth and if it is not correct to mention that, then why do we celebrate Christmas?

The phillies have 4 aces. Like Hamels as the 4th starter. And if Utlry, Howard, Palanco, and brown show up next year, it's going to be almost impossible to beat them. I feel sorry for the meta and braves fans.
11 AnswersBaseball1 decade agoShould I get an iPad or laptop?
So for Chrismas I'm thinking about getting an iPad. I would use it for browsing the web, playing games from the AppStore, and I would also get a Bluetooth keyboard and the iWork suite to type documents for school. I am just wondering if there would be any disadvantages of getting an iPad rather then a laptop.
