  • Where does the Torah say that Passover is 8 days in the Diaspora?

    I can only find in the Torah (Leviticus 23) that we are to observe Passover for 7 days. I do not find anywhere in Torah that there is a separate command for those living in Israel and those living outside of Israel. Can someone thell me where G-d said in haTorah that Passover is 7 days in Israel and 8 days outside of Israel? Thank you.

  • I need advice for dealing with identity theft/credit fraud?

    A friend of mine suddenly started receiving store credit cards that he didn't apply for, followed by a few days later by bills for charges - which means that the thief was able to make the charges without even having the cards.

    A notice was received from JC Penny, also, but fortunately they rejected the application because the thief did not have proper ID. (Bravo! Well done, JC Penny!!!!)

    Not so with COMENITY BANK, the bank which issued the cards for Victoria's Secret and Pier 1 Imports and offers instant approval for credit card applications without requiring physical identification such as a Drivers License or other photo ID. When my friend called the fraud department and reported the theft, the agent was belligerent and hard nosed and totally unsympathetic.

    I helped my friend find information online for what steps he should take for reporting the fraud, and several sites offered the same advice - notify the card company, notify the credit agencies, notify the Social Security department, notify the FBI fraud department, and file a police report. The police report can be tricky - we went to TWO police departments and they had an attitude of "what do you want US to do about it?!" and claiming that they had no jurisdiction anyway because the fraud occured in another state. After going to the Sheriff's office we found someone to listen to us, but they merely gave us a card with the officer's name and a report number - but no actually report.

    Here's what we need help with. One of the important things that all of the websites agreed on was that an Identity Theft Credit Card victim should do is, and I quote, "ask the creditor to provide you with copies of all paperwork associated with the account including transactions AND THE APPLICATION". Having a copy of the actual application is very important of course because it shows all of the data that the thief acquired to open the account. However, Comenity Bank absolutely REFUSED to give a copy of the application. Is there ANYTHING that can be done, short of a lawsuit, to force them to give my friend a copy?

    Thank you!!!!!

  • How do I contact TVland?

    I want to tell them how much they suck for adding that trashy stupid series THAT 70's SHOW instead of the countless awesome shows they could have gotten. And now they are preempting EVEREYBODY LOVES RAYMOND with (totally talentless) Ashton Kutchner so that there's virtually nothing enjoyable to watch on television on Saturday nights. Hallmark Channel used to have FRASIER but now they've replaced it with THE WALTONS. I thought assisted suicide was illegal!

    I can't find any CONTACT US links on their website. Anyone know how to contact them?

    PS... this question isn't an invitation for opposing opinions by those who like that drivel. Just a contact email to TVland is sufficient. Thanks.

  • What was the name of the tugboat that stopped the Titanic collision?

    When leaving Southampton, the wake of the RMS Titanic ripped the SS New York from its morning to the RMS Oceanic which was itself moored to the dock, causing the SS New York to swing around and nearly collide with the RMS Titanic. A tugboat came to the rescue to prevent the disaster.

    Does anyone know the name of that tugboat? I thought it was The Californian, but I can't remember.

  • In image editing programs, what is the difference between DPI and PPI?

    I'm using the GIMP image program (similar to PAINT) and I'm trying to select the DPI but the only option is for PPI.

    I'm relatively a noob with this type of thing so I have no idea what PPI means. Is it the same as DPI? The GIMP instruction manuel doen't give a definition.

    Thanks for any help!

  • How do I change the DPI in the PAINT program?

    I enjoy doing my art projects in Windows PAINT, which always comes free on computers with Windows.

    The problem is that anything created in PAINT is automatically 96 DPI.

    Whenever I go to a sign company to have banners or signs made, they say the DPI is too small - it must be 150 DPI.

    I know how to enlarge an image in PAINT but I do not know how to change the DPI.

    Can anyone tell me how?

    Or, could someone tell me of a similar type of program that is FREE that I could download from online?

    THANK YOU!!!!!!

    PS.... I USE WINDOWS 7

  • Should I take the funeral flowers away?

    I live in a condominium complex in which all front doors open into a common hallway.

    Last week the neighbor who lives across the hall suddenly passed away from an anurism. I immediatey went out and got a few funeral bouquets of flowers and anonymously layed them at her door. During the week I could hear passing neighbors make kind comments about the flowers, and one neighbor even taped a card on the door that said "thank you to whoever put the flowers by the door".

    the woman who passed away lived alone but her mother and son and other relatives have been by her condo - but they have not moved her flowers, and the funeral and wake was yesterday. The roses, lilies, orchids, haliconians, sunflowers and chrysanthimums are withering from lack of water.

    I do not know what the proper etiquette is here. Should I quiety take them away now, or should they be left there for the family to take away (if and when they return)? What is the most appropriate action?

    Thanks for any advice.

  • How do you send a Tweet to everyone?

    I'm new to twitter. I watched some of the Twitter help videos but they didn't answer my questions.

    Are we only able to send a Tweet to a specific person or can you send out a tweet to everyone?

    If I don't type a twit name (@name) what happens to my tweet?

    And how in the world do I find other people's /celebrity's/ businesses'/ government official's twitter names? Is there like a Twitter White Pages? (I tried using the SEARCH bar in Twitter's website but that was no use... typing 'Madonna', for example, gives you a zillion different listings). How does one find Tweet names so that we can follow the Tweets of, say for example, Madonna's or Senator Nelson's or Whydah Pirate Museum's or anyone else's?

    Can someone please help? *(Please do NOT redirect me to another site for info).

    THANKS!!!!

  • HELP! Would someone help me choose between these two laptops?

    I'm on my way in two hours to buy a new laptop.

    I've never owned one before.

    These are my options (they are on sale):

    HP 15.6"

    4GB RAM

    320GB hard Drive

    Intel Core i3-370m Processor

    TOSHIBA 15.6"

    4GB RAM

    500GB Hard Drive

    Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor

    CHIEF USES:

    This will be used chiefly for business, such as for record keeping and placing international product orders, possibly storing some product photos and/or brief videos. HOWEVER, it also needs to have at least the ABILITY to handle a high-graphoc/action online video game such as DIABLO III or GUILD WARS or WARCRAFT and the like.

    ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!! You don't have to explain the pros and cons of each. Just let me know which one you think is BEST for me and why. Thanks!!!!

  • Is it my imagination or does Oprah hate to be touched?

    Every time Oprah greets someone, no matter how famous they are, it always seems awkward. It was mega obviously on her Aussie show when she pulled away from Hugh Jackman's kiss and when Nichole Kidman tried to hug her but Oprah grabbed her hands and kept her at bay. She does this A LOT to most guests, and I feel embarrased for them.

    It looks to me like Oprah doesn't like any form of "touchy feely". It looks like MORE than just being concerned about getting someone's cold. She looks UNCOMFORTABLE with being touched. It looks like she prefers only handshakes.

    Does anyone else notice this?

  • Could someone PLEASE help with this question about Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion?

    I just purchased THE ELDER SCROLLS IV: OBLIVION - GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION.

    I have NEVER played this game before.

    I know that if you steal things you can be arrested if caught by guards.

    I do not steal unless it is by accident, and I regularly go through my inventory and drop any item that has the "red hand" on it.

    But suddenly guards are constantly arresting me on a charge of theft even though there is no item with a red hand on it in my inventory. What do I do?!

    (if you need me to answer any questions before you can explain, just send me a message and I'll answer you)

  • Does Ford make a convertible OTHER THAN the Mustang?

    I hate Mustangs. They're for people who just discovered that they've passed puberty and have a little too much testosterone or estrogen and want to make sure that everyone else knows it.

    I currently have a 2001 BMW 328 convertible, and it's time to send it to car heaven. I'm looking for an American CONVERTIBLE car similar to the Toyota Camry Solara or the VW Eos. Can anyone suggest one?
