Costa Rica '03

I happened to hear an eloquent preacher about a week ago. It was not the topic of his sermon so he didn't elaborate on it, but in mentioning the "In the beginning..." of Genesis 1:1, he stated that this refers in part to the creation of time. So that, when we think of God being eternal, it is not time-wise....that He is eternal because He existed/exists in another dimension different from time; being that He created time in Gen 1:1. The preacher emphasized that God has "no beginning."

I have an international flight scheduled to leave at 5:30 AM on a Friday out of Chicago and need/want to know what time the airport opens.

I also would appreciate knowing how to find this information on-line. (I didn't find it going through the individual airline information.)

I opened something that I don't want to show being in "History" (could be just an embarrassment!) Can it be erased? (And I'll clarify it's nothing immoral or illegal!)

What I mean is: What are the DAYS REQUIRED for employers to pay Holiday Pay?

I'm pretty sure (but not 100%) there are 9 such DAYS.

10 points to who answers correctly and in short time as I do need the answer relatively quick.

Is it possible to carry a livestock scale that is small enough to be checked in as I travel by air (like to Costa Rica) and light enough to carry as regular luggage is carried? The scale can be minus the platform (which I can supply at my final destination) and be able to weigh cattle. (There are bulls that can weigh almost 2000 lbs.) IF SO, where or how do I find one to purchase?

More specifically, what I really want to know is if that child would "AUTOMATICALLY" be a U.S. citizen? I've heard that the child would, in fact, have dual citizenship, and that at the age of 18, he or she, could and would be asked to choose one (citizenship).

I hope most of you agree it is not, so then the real question is: "What continent is Costa Rica in?"

There was a bit of controversy a couple of days ago in a somewhat related question, "Is Costa Rica in North America or South America?" Some people answered neither. So I would really like to know what continent is Costa Rica in.

I'm interested in teaching English as a Second Language while also teaching Biblical truths/concepts.

The version of the Bible would not be limited to any one in particular, though I do prefer the NIV.

More than several times in "Answers.Yahoo" I have seen answers where individuals ask to be sent an e-mail address or ask to be invited to some activity or location. Is there some way of sharing info with an "asker" or "answerer" without "broadcasting" it to all other viewers? Or are these individuals willing to do that and "don't care?"

Money or items given to charitable organizations are allowed to be deducted, but why is a service not deductible? Specifically, shouldn't a professional person who donates time and/or talent to such organizations or causes be able to designate what those services are worth monetarily and deduct them? (Think of a professional singer who donates her time and sings for such an organization or cause. How can this be deducted honestly?)

In Illinois, if your car is photographed, going through a red light, not paying a toll at a toll booth, or speeding, as examples, is the owner of the car responsible, or the driver? Does the state have to prove the case, or the owner/driver?
