Glad you nuts are on McCain's side. It only helps Obama.

Who even knows if that's the Mabus that he was referring to. People used to think Mabus was Saddam Hussein spelled backwards and hidden. It's a bunch of crap.

this shows how Nostradanus is always wrong. after the fact, they try and link quatrains to the latest event. in this case, Mabus is supposed to represent Saddam backwards. So I don't know how hannity gets in the picture, but Nostradamus and Hannity, try and make things fit. facts they don't care.

Qatar bets on future as sports mecca

(Reuters) – Biking through the south of France one summer’s day a decade ago, Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani was stopped by a pack of cyclists from the Tour de France.

So impressed was he with the peloton racing past that he phoned famed Belgian cyclist Eddy Merckx and asked him to organize a similar bike race in the Gulf Arab state.

Thus began a 10-year love affair with sport which would eventually see the tiny country do what most thought impossible: win an audacious bid to host the 2022 soccer World Cup.

But Qatar’s bold ambition in the realm of sport does not end there. Buoyed by its successful World Cup bid, the country has begun to indulge a seemingly insatiable desire to host global sporting events.

Last month Qatar officially launched a bid to host the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics. it has submitted a bid for the 2017 World Athletic Championships, and has expressed interest in hosting the Grand D��part for the 2016 Tour de France.

This is all bolstered by Qatar’s sponsorship of a myriad of sports events and teams.

State-owned Qatar Airways was the official airline for this year’s Tour de France. a Qatari investment vehicle earlier this year bought a 70 percent stake in French soccer club Paris St Germain for an undisclosed amount.

Doha-based broadcaster Al Jazeera recently bought a share of the domestic television rights of French league games from 2012 to 2016. the network paid 90 million euros ($129 million) a year for rights to broadcast two live games a week and for other associated rights over four seasons between 2012 and 2016.

The timing couldn’t have been better.

“By giving Qataris — especially the youth — more access to sport and bringing the world’s best sporting stars to Qatar, Qatar’s elite are quite simply and understandably boosting their own popularity domestically,” said David Roberts, deputy director of the Royal United Services Institute based in Doha.

Unlike neighboring Gulf countries, Qatar has been notably free of the unrest that has swept the region in recent months. as the country with the world’s highest per capita income, estimated at $90,149, it can afford to spend lavishly on bids for sporting events.

Qatar is likely to spend an estimated $100 billion to host the 2022 tournament. it spent $2.8 billion on the Asian Games, which it hosted in 2006.

Qatar’s emir has closely associated himself with sport throughout his reign, promoting access to sporting facilities in the late 1980s and early 1990s and bringing the FIFA Youth (under 20) World Cup to the country after he came to power in 1995. it turned out to be a shrewd strategy.

“Qatar’s foray into sport and other youth-oriented initiatives has helped boost the government’s popularity and helped it connect with a new generation of Qataris,” said Shadi Hamid, director of research at the Brookings Doha Center.

“The World Cup bid, as well as the flurry of sporting, education, and cultural activities, have all shown the Qatari government to be both active and innovative, offering a sharp contrast to most other Arab regimes.”

As in neighboring countries, decision-making is dominated by the emir and a small group of family members, with cabinet and an unelected Shura Council advising, though there is one elected municipal council.

Summer temperatures can reach as high as 50 Celsius — although temperatures are much milder in winter — making it an unlikely cycling hub. but the emir’s daughter Sheikha Mayassa organised a women’s bike race in 2009. it is now an annual event.

“The ladies tour is a political statement from Sheikha Mayassa, to show that Qatar is an open, liberal country where women as well as men can play sports. it exists to show that there are no restrictions to sporting in Qatar,” said the race’s organizer Dirk DePauw.

“Qatar wants to be a country where sport is very important. They want to do it for the young people, and to help with obesity and the health problems,” said Belgian cyclist Eddy Merckx, who helped launch the race.

“The whole (royal) family loves cycling. He bikes, the whole family bikes. And he wants the people here to bike.”

Though its greatest success has undoubtedly been the 2022 World Cup coup, Qatar has seen some defeats along the way. a bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics, eventually won by Rio de Janeiro, floundered on its insistence on holding the Games in October. Qatar is now bidding for the 2020 Games and Olympic officials have allowed a shift in dates to avoid the extreme desert heat.

A close U.S. ally that hosts a large U.S. military base, Qatar is the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas and gained global attention recently with high-profile purchases such as that of London department store Harrods.

Bolstering Qatar’s image as a modern sporting venue would help the country plan for a future without gas.

“Sports tourism is one of their primary focus areas in terms of overall diversification. It’s a clear strategic focus for them,” said Raghavan Seetharaman, chief executive officer of Doha Bank.

“The bigger picture is that they have to diversify, and the diversification has to come from multiple sources. Investments they’ve done via the sovereign fund. They’ve invested billions in sports facilities, and 2022 will create even more momentum. They can leverage it beyond 2022, if they can create the right traffic through sports tourism,” Seetharaman said.

“They (the royal family) are passionate about sports. That’s why they went after 2022. It’s something that no one in the region has ever done,” the Chairman of Qatar’s Tourism Authority Ahmed Abdullah Al-Nuaimi said in an interview with Reuters.

“And it’s not only for Doha, it’s for the whole region. People will see the Middle East in a different way, not just as a struggle, as a political problem, but as offering something else.”

Are we going to die in 2012 is it the end of the world?

No, but new beginning

highly unlikely, the human race has been predicting the end of the world for all of time, for example they thought the world would end in 2000, and I think we're all fine, recently, they said the world would end on a specific date, and it didn't happen, and there are a few funny true stories about that, and a long time ago they predicted the end of the world, and a bunch of priests or whatever dressed up in white and stood at the top of a hill and then nothing happened (it must have been very embarrassing,)

the point I'm trying to make is; it is unlikely that the world will end on a predicted date, and if it does, it's probably a coincidence.

As likely as justin bieber making good music………

its not over until the FAT lady sings… so if you hear some fat dude starting to warble, be AFRAID… be VERY afraid…

I'm not going to say yes and I'm not going to say no. no one knows when the world is going to end, not even Gods angels. Just like no one knows when they're going to die. if everyone knew their time to die they would walk the path of God and follow him. if we all knew when the end of time was there would be no evil in this wicked world, because everyone would behave themselves to make it to heaven. the only one who knows when the end of time is, is God himself.

I don't know man, but what amazes me is that this question has never been asked before!

Why don't you doomsayers go bother the Religious section?

See what the Bible says:

http://odemori.blogspot.com/2011/05/lord…

No, just the end of these 2012 questions and the start of the next round of end of the world frauds.

21 December 2012: the Boilerplate Answer

We hear each day "two oh one two"
The kids all ask if it is true.
"Nibiru, the planet we must fear,
Or planet X shall soon be here.
The Mayan count runs to an end.
I was told this by a friend.”

Nibiru the hoax world of Sitchin
Fit only for the garbage bin.
Devoid of fact, reason or wit,
Science laughs at all the talk of it.

Of planet “X” Nan Lieder cries,
And yet she won’t look at the skies,
To come in twenty months it’s true,
The damn thing must be now in view!

"Where is it?" Science asks with glee,
"You said, ‘Beware two thousand three!’
With Earth it didn’t make a tryst,
We’re very sure it don’t exist!"

Galactic lines are the next fright,
And yet the angles are not right.
“Six degrees off!” the scientists say,
“It happens near each solstice day.”
But it would no difference make,
You can be sure the thing’s a fake.

"Planets align!" or so some say
"it will be on that very day."
Yet naught of fact now can they quote,
I’d like to take them by the throat
And try to squeeze some truth right in,
But murder now they say’s a sin.

Failed prophets, fools, those full of fraud,
Are people with whom we all are bored.

Are we going to die in 2012 is it the end of the world?

Will the world end in 2012 or are we just being silly listening to what we hear?

If i tell you the truth you won't believe me anyway but i'll give it a go. Once every 24 thousand years this happens and we know its happen at least five times before that's about as far back as we can check with core sample from Antartica. what will happen is the planets will aline that's the moon sun mars and a few other planets. when this happens the gravitational pull on the earth will change (think really high tides). It will also change the magnetic poles this will effect electronics in a really big way. It also happens to match up with solar flares from the sun really big solar flares. these solar flares happen about ever 150 years or there about this will be at its high point in march next year. ok to get to the question are we all going to die well no not everyone but there will be some really bad times are coming so hang on. the exact date is the 21 of december 2012.

I would just like to add everything i'm saying is biased on available facts we just don't know to what effect this will have on the earth put it did destroy most life on earth the last four times it happened.

And i don't need a website full of rubbish to tell me how to think i get "REAL FACTS"

No it will not end in 2012

no, however i hope it ends, so people like you wont ask questions this ridiculous

Being silly. next question.

It's all BS, the world isn't going to end.

No-one knows the day or the hour except God when the world will end

Its said that there will be a huge destruction.. but wheres the proof

There is no scientific evidence that the world will end in 2012 so we cannot prove that it will. the only reason people are saying that the world will end is the roman calender only showed the years up 2012. you must take into consideration that the world was supposed to end in 2000 but it's here now and also in 1989 and again we are still living on the earth that extremist said would blow up.
Hope this helped :)

Remind us again who made this prediction, and how I would go about having a discussion with him.

Sure, why not! Been nice knowing y'all.

A lot of people are just being silly, dangerously silly.

• 2012 •

One of several Mayan calendars is the Long Count calendar, which is reset to day 0 every 1,872,000 days or about 5125 years. the next reset date, by some calculations, is December 21, 2012. This is not a prediction of the end of the world. here is what a Mayan elder says on the subject: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopi…

These predictions are scare tactics, conspiracy theories, and chances to make money from books and movies.

Ever since the Y2K and 6/6/6 (June 6, 2006) end of the World scenarios did not pan out, the scare mongers, conspiracy theorists, book sellers, and television executives have been touting the 2012 end of the World scenario. when 2012 does not happen either, I am sure they will think of something else.

Here is also what NASA thinks about the 2012 end of the World scenario: http://pwg.gsfc.nasa.gov/stargaze/StarFA…

If you want a bit more information on the 2012 hoax, try: http://www.2012hoax.org

• the end of the World •

"but of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come." (Mark 13:32-33)

Jesus told us in no uncertain terms that we were not to know when the end of the world would come but that we were always to be ready.

The early Christian Church thought that Jesus was going to return at any moment. only after a couple of centuries did the Church realize that it may be 2,000 or 4,000 or 8,000 years before Jesus returns.

The Catholic Church wisely follows Jesus' advice and teaches that each of us should live as if we will meet our maker in the next ten minutes and that we need to work to make the world a better place for our 100 X great-grandchildren.

Do not worry about the end of the world. Trust God to make sure everything happens to plan. Just be ready to meet God at any time.

For more information, about what Catholics believe about the end of the world, see: http://www.americancatholic.org/Newslett…

With love in Christ.

mayan long count calendar is satanic so instead of believing it have strong faith on God and take Jesus as your savior so you will be save :)

In a galaxy far, far away the inhabitants live virtually forever and have perfect memories.

Amazingly, this has its disadvantages. everyone knows every joke that has ever been invented in that galaxy, and since the civilisation is very old, new jokes are now very scarce. so these poor aliens have been short of a laugh for centuries.

Since well before the incident at Roswell, New Mexico, the inhabitants of this galaxy have been scouting this planet. After decades of investigations, which of course are nothing to them, they made a decision and began to implant selected people about 20 years ago.

Beginning on the International Date Line at midnight on 20 December 2012, a specially tuned matter transference beam will begin to pick up implanted humans for instantaneous translation to the far galaxy. they will not feel a thing. Among those selected are fundamentalist Christians and Muslims, believers in the Bermuda triangle, Neo-Nazis, soccer fans, those who hold that the Moon landings were a hoax, Scientologists, 9/11 truthers, management consultants, astrologers, skinheads, Wiccans, heavy metal freaks and sundry other cultists. This of course is the prophesied "Rapture".

The destination will be a rather comfortable human-compatible planet in an isolated part of the far galaxy. every room and street, field and forest of this planet is fitted up with holographic cameras and ultra fidelity microphones.

The lives of these humans will be transmitted instantaneously around this galaxy far, far away and the poor old aliens will finally have something to laugh at.

Woody’s Mailbag: Tim Tebow very likely to be on 2012 Broncos

Denver Post sports columnist Woody Paige posts Woody’s Mailbag on Thursdays.

Drop a question into Woody’s Mailbag, or visit the Denver Post’s Sports Page.

I think John Fox and John Elway are trying to sidestep Tim Tebow being the future quarterback of the Broncos. So, plain and simple, why don’t the Broncos trade Tebow?

— Matthew Deall, New Orleans

Matthew, the team will not trade him because:

(A) Tebow still has a potential significant upside.

(B) Kyle Orton and Brady Quinn are unrestricted free agents at the end of the season, and the Broncos may not want to sign either, or both, particularly Quinn if he doesn’t play this year, since he may want to go somewhere else, and Tebow would be the only quarterback left under contract.

(C) Tebow, in his three games, last year outplayed Orton, with the same running game and defense that everyone talks about that restricted Orton from being the greatest quarterback since Johnny Unitas; Tebow, in his first start and with a limited playbook, had the Broncos within seven points in Oakland, after Oakland had destroyed Orton, who was awful, and the Broncos in Denver; Tebow beat the Texans with a late touchdown run, and although people claimed the Texans were no good, they were still in the playoff chase at that point, and Tebow played San Diego closer than Orton did, in the finale.

(D) the Broncos, as I believe and have written, will be 4-8 after 12 games (despite what e-mailers have written, I didn’t say they would finish with a 4-12 record), and Tebow would start then against Chicago or Minnesota, so Broncos could find out what they have in him again.

(E) Injuries could happen, and the quarterback switch could change during season or

(F) Orton plays ineffectively early, and, as I have written, he makes a switch during games or during the season, as he has before.

(F) There is little interest, if any, for Tebow at the salary he makes, so why trade him for nothing when you’ve already paid most of his salary for the year, and you probably won’t have to pay the guarantee based on him playing 45 percent of the plays?

(G) who knows how Quinn would play if he got in there, based on his previous starts and the fact that he looked good against scrubs in the exhibition, and threw an interception at the goal line?

(H) all sorts of other things could happen. That’s why.

Hi, Woody. I am a longtime fan and longtime Post reader. my question is this: Is there any trade value in Brady Quinn? There are still a few teams that didn’t fully address their QB situation (Redskins, 49ers and Dolphins). I believe Quinn would likely be a potential improvement at QB for all three teams, and he comes at a cheap price. We know the Broncos want to rebuild in the draft. Could they maybe get a fourth-round pick for him?

— Tyler L., Tacoma, Wash.

Tyler, Quinn wouldn’t be so cheap if he were to go somewhere else and play in 70 percent of the plays. he would earn another $5.95 million on top of his guaranteed $700,000. I did wonder if they were showcasing him last Saturday night. that hasn’t been reported or even rumored before this. I doubt they could get a fourth-round pick for him, since they probably couldn’t get more than a third round for Orton. if it happened, I would say it would have to be conditional, based on number of plays, and we already know how costly that would be to another team.

Woody, I feel that Loren Landow should be getting some credit and maybe even a position on the Broncos’ staff for how good the offensive line looks so far this year. the run game actually looks threatening and the holes they open up are HUGE. the line bonded at his camp during the lockout, and it’s arguable that without him the line wouldn’t be as good yet. of course, John Fox and his staff are putting the finishing touches on making them better, but they definitely owe him a thank-you, because he smoothed out the transition for those players on the line. They respect him and kept coming back while others would show up once or twice (or not at all). he should be on the staff in my opinion. What are the chances?

— Jamal, Portsmouth, Va.

Jamal: thank you, Loren Landow. How’s that? if Landow were to get a job on the Broncos staff, it would have to be as strength and conditioning coach, and they already have a special one in Rich Tuten, in his 17th year with the Broncos, and he has a very good staff. I can’t speak for Landow, but he already has a great position as director of performance enhancement for the world-famous Steadman Hawkins Clinic in Denver.

Landow, a graduate of the University of Northern Colorado, by the way, has consulted with hundreds of Olympic athletes, professional hockey and basketball players and, of course, most recently, the Broncos and other NFL players during the lockout, when he supervised workout sessions.

He deserves a lot of credit for helping the players in a conditioning program, and helping to organize those workouts, particularly since none of those players seemed to have been hurt so far in camp (if memory serves). the offensive lineman, though, deserve much of their credit for their offseason efforts. John Fox told me they showed up regularly at Dove Valley before the lockout, and they agreed to keep working out together, and it certainly has paid off so far.

I’m still not sure they’re as good as you believe they are in run-blocking, however, the holes aren’t truck-wide, and the rushing numbers, particularly, the average yard per carry, wasn’t any better against Buffalo (BUFFALO, 31st against the run last year, only above the Broncos) than in 2010. So, not so fast, Jamal, yet.

Ryan Clady is vastly improved over last year. A major figure in the organization told me he had a very poor year after returning from knee surgery. the youngsters (Zane Beadles and J.D. Walton) are improved, and Chris Kuper is a big-time player. Orlando Franklin has been a standout in camp, but he’s a rookie in a tough spot. the chances are zilch that Landow is offered or would take a job, and the chances are excellent the line will be better

Defensive tackle was one of the most important positions this free agency, and now Ty Warren can possibly be out for the season with a triceps tear. What do you think is our next move? do we sign another DT, like Tank Johnson, or just go with what we have left and hope Warren will be able to play?

— Cole Merrick, Mesa, Ariz.

Cole: Tanks for the memories, but Tank isn’t coming here. he has stayed beyond his time, really. I did look this morning at the depth charts on a bunch of the teams, and I figure the Broncos will pick up a couple, or more, from the waiver wire (having the second choice behind Carolina) just before the season.

But don’t look for any more big names. I don’t think Warren could return in time to help the Broncos this season. the Broncos are fine at the ends. I highly suspect they’ll be adding two interior linemen before the season. Some veterans will be released by other teams.

Hey, Woodman. love you on “Around the Horn!” What is going on with Demaryius Thomas? his name is not coming up in the conversation when it comes to helping us this year. Second-year receivers are almost always improved. Is his injury more serious than reported before the lockout?

— Gabriel Leyba, Santa Fe

Gabriel, I don’t think the injury is more serious than reports you’ve read. It has been serious all along. he tore an Achilles tendon in the offseason, and those injuries take six months, at minimum, to recover from. in my opinion, he’ll be on the injured list to start the season, will miss at least six games, and we’ll find out then. I’m not a doctor, although I occasionally play one on ESPN, but I don’t think he’ll be a factor this season.

I follow his tweets. he has kept a positive attitude, but he hasn’t been practicing; he can’t make the lateral moves and doesn’t have a burst of speed, obviously. They’ve got six wide receivers to choose from right now, and you have to wonder if Thomas isn’t another year away. when the Broncos drafted him, he had an injury history. he was hurt again last year, and again during the offseason. and the Broncos just put Richard Quinn on the waived/injury list, so he’s gone now, if not forever. that was another wasted draft choice.

Woody, I’m a big Spencer Larsen fan. he seems like a stand-up, workhorse kind of guy. I haven’t heard much about him recently. What’s the latest with Spencer, and what do you think of him? have you ever interviewed him? Thanks, Woody!

— Lincoln, Littleton

Lincoln: Spencer is fine. Don’t look for him to play linebacker ever again, though. He’s a fullback. John Fox told me before camp a lot of teams carry only one fullback, and Larsen obviously is the guy for the Broncos, unless somebody pops up on that waiver wire just before the season.

Fox also told me he will use tight ends in the backfield and in motion, sort of in the fullback role, and they do have tight ends. Larsen is a good young man, a solid player, a guy who can run every once in a while, has a strong work ethic, doesn’t cause problems and has gotten better the more he has worked at fullback.

I just randomly watched the movie “Back to the Future” and noticed a Denver Broncos alarm clock in the opening scene (a part of the dog Einstein’s automatic feeding contraption). Is there a story behind this? I have a funny feeling you might actually know something about it. thank you!

— Zach G., Oakland, Calif.

Zach, I have spent hours researching this question, more than I honestly should have, but you made me curious. I’d never noticed a Broncos clock in the 1985 classic movie starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. in the opening scene at Dr. Emmett Brown’s home/laboratory, before Marty McFly comes in, a sweeping camera shows two dozen varying types of clocks. and, sure enough, suddenly there is a Denver Broncos alarm clock (with the old helmet in the middle and orange clappers on the top).

I got the movie on pay-per-view ($2.99), watched the opening scene probably six times, froze it at the moment the clock is revealed, and tried to put together 1985, the movie and the Broncos. nothing. the movie location is the fictional Hill Valley (oxymoron) in California (I could tell by the license plates) and actually was filmed in Sonora, Calif., and on the Universal Studio back lot in Los Angeles. No connection to Colorado or the Broncos.

I checked the writers, the producer (Steven Spielberg), Fox, Lloyd, and there was nothing to indicate any of them had any love for the Broncos. What about the Broncos in 1984? (The movie came out July 1985 and was filmed earlier in the year.) the Broncos did go 13-3 in 1984 (with John Elway at quarterback in his second season), but they lost their first playoff game to the Steelers, so that didn’t make them so special.

Why not the 49ers, who won the Super Bowl, instead, and they’re in California, so people in Hill Valley probably would be 49ers fans? the mystery went on. I did research on the movie’s history and discovered things I’d never known before: Fox replaced the original actor, and the original shooting was shut down when Fox came aboard four weeks in, so that scene was probably reshot, and, originally, the time machine was not a DeLorean car but a refrigerator — but the director was afraid kids would start climbing in refrigerators all over America, and the car sort of looked like an alien could come here in it. But not a thing about the clock.

Aha! Set decorator. he would be in charge. So I searched for him. Hal Gausman. he was a veteran movie set decorator (“Jaws,” for instance), but there was nothing to indicate he had a Broncos or Denver background. I finally found that Gausman died in 1989. he couldn’t help me.

I called a friend who works at Universal, and he told me that the movie company has a big prop department, and since the indoor scenes were filmed there, Gausman likely would have grabbed all the clocks he could find, or that he went to some place that sold old clock, and that he just happened to pick out the Broncos clock because it was different from the others. makes sense.

I looked at the scene again and tried to figure out who would be the clock manufacturer. No luck. I asked the Broncos. Nada. you had a funny feeling I could answer. I can’t. I’m a failure. But I think it was just by chance. unless someone out there helps us, we’ll never have the answer. maybe we can get in a time machine and go back to the past when that set was being decorated.

Is The World Really Supposed To End On May 21st? I Find It Hard To Believe….?

From what I've heard the world is supposed to end tomorrow at 6pm by a massive earthquake. I was freaking out thinking a scientist predicted it until I heard that it was a Preacher who did. not only that but he predicted the same thing last year and it never happened!
I believe in God- Although I dont really have a specific religion- and so does my boyfriend. He has done some research on the subject for quite some time now. And he is also reading the bible cover to cover.
He told me that God said, no Man nor Angel can ever know Mankinds End.
Also he checked up on the earthquake thing and said from what he has read, its the Madrid Fault and he told me not to worry because its in the middle of the US. He said he's sure lots of people will die but doesn't think it will happen on this side of the US (California).
I don't know what to believe! I find it hard to believe the Preacher.. Because the bible doesn't say the world will end on May 21, 2011. how could this Preacher get an exact date like that? He's not a scientist from what I know!
What are your opinions on the subject?
Do you think this is all fake?
Has 2012 come sooner than expected? or is the prediction of the world ending in 2012 also fake?
Thankyou to those who answer. sorry this is so long lol.

Isn't that when the Vogon's are scheduled to start building their hyperspace bypass?

Grab your towel and sun glasses

DON"T PANIC

Yep… give me your house – you won't need it anymore…

i dont know! i just heard about it on TV and i was like wat?!?! im only 13!! i've got longer to go through!! lol

It is most certainly false. In fact 99% of us faithful Christians dissmiss it as ballony. The preacher somehow used the Bible to figure out Christ's crucifiction, (he believes it is April 1, 55 AD or something like that) and then he used the square of three special numbers repeated in the Bible to get the number of days until Jesus would come back. He also used a passage from the Bible that said for every 1000 days to us it is like a second in heaven, or something like that.

> how could this Preacher get an exact date like that? He's not a scientist from what I know!

Since you asked.
Harold Camping believes Christ was crucified on April 1, 33 A.D., exactly 722,500 days before May 21, 2011. that number, 722,500, is the square of 5 x 10 x 17. In Camping's numerological system, 5 represents atonement, 10 means completeness, and 17 means heaven.

So if Jesus was crucified on April Fool's Day – and I am not sure where the preacher got that information – and if you know for a fact that atonement means the number 5, completeness is no other number but the number 10, and the seventh heaven is really the seventeenth heaven, well, that is all the evidence you need for the world ending tomorrow.

Hey, Lilith!
The chances are about the same as last year's prediction. just another person trying for their 15 minutes of fame.
Beside the biblical fact that clearly states that no one can know the time, there is no earthquake that can end the earth; they are too localized.
As far as 2012, the same principle can be applied. no one can know.
However, I do have a question for you, and/or your boyfriend. If this concerns you so much and you have been reading the Bible from cover to cover, hasn't it had any effect on your lives? Where is your fear coming from? Personally, I look forward to the end…even if I have to suffer through whatever means the Lord uses. it will be over and I believe I will enter eternal life with God, family, friends and loved ones.
Don't intend to get preachy on you, but get right with the God of your understanding and get to know him with whatever time we have left. sure, in the END, we all will die. We can also die just stepping off the sidewalk in front of a bus. The goal is to know him, love him and Serve him. this is mostly seen in the lives we lead and our relationships with others.

I wish you the very best. Hope to see you on the other side of life.
Jim

Well no doubt you find it hard to believe, the theory is absolutely ridicules, there's no scientific evidence and there is no biblical evidence, just because Harold Camping has convinced some people it's ending doesn't make it at all true.

Is The World Really Supposed To End On May 21st? I Find It Hard To Believe….?

What will be the effects of the grand alignment predicted by the Mayan calender in Dec 2012?

The mayan calender ends on the winter soltice on dec 2012.there is evidence to support a grand alighnment of the sun,earth,and the center of the galaxy.Has this happened before?if so what were the effects?What are the predictions for this event?

Alignments/conjunctions happen all the time. We don't know where the center of the galaxy is. We still don't know for sure if the Harmonic Convergence in 1987 or the winter solstice in 2012 was the end of the Mayan Calendar. Nothing ever happens except in how it focuses people's values.

The "grand alignment" won't happen, since the Earth and sun will not align with the galactic centre (our orbit isn't right for that to appear to happen).
And "alignments" of several planets have happened in the past (several times) and since the planets in our solar system don't affect Earth at all (the distance is too great) the most an alignment of several planets can do is create a minor disturbance in the sun's magnetic field. this could cause some increased auroral activity and possibly some increased electromagnetic disturbances in the upper atmosphere.

But because the planets orbit the sun at some amount of inclination to the sun's plane (the ecliptic) any alignment is never a perfect line – the planets can be as much as 20 degrees apart.

By the way, the 2005 book "beyond 2012: Catastrophe or Ecstasy" by Geoff Stray reviews several theories, prophecies and predictions concerning 2012 and finds authors have used faulty information or have bent the truth to fit their theories.

What will be the effects of the grand alignment predicted by the Mayan calender in Dec 2012?

None

Has this happened before?

Probably

what were the effects?

None

What are the predictions for this event?

Anything that you want to make up!

I see you have also fallen for the mayan hoax.

The Earth, Sun and center of the galaxy line up the same way every year. the center of the galaxy is seen in the direction of Sagittarius, and whenever you see the Sun in Sagittarius, then the Earth and Sun are lined up with the center of the galaxy. the Sun is seen in each of the 12 Zodiac constellations for one month every year. It is seen in Sagittarius for one month every year. there is nothing special about it.

Oh, and by the way, 6 months later the Sun is seen 180 degrees away from Sagittarius, so if you were on the Sun you would see Earth in Sagittarius and the three would be lined up again, but with Earth in the middle instead of the Sun being in the middle. this also happens once every year.

So there is nothing special going on.

well for one, thats not what the grand alignment is. the grand alignment happens every 20 years and its when all the planets are in the same general area, almost a line.

and think about what your saying. an alignment like the one u talk about happens every year. the sun and the center of the galaxy are always lined up. the earth orbits the sun once a year. so once every year the sun, earth, and center of the galaxy would be lined up. nothing to special about that.

and the mayan calendar does not end. it starts a new "count". thats just how their calendar is organized. its no different than going from 2007 to 2008. just cuz the year changed doesnt mean the world will end.

no special alignments of planets or anything would harm earth at all. its impossible really. this whole 2012 thing is blow way out of proportion, nothing at all will happen.

sorry but the grand alignment prediction (at least with the planets) is incorrect.

check it out yourself
http://www.shatters.net/celestia/

and besides we have an alignment with the sun, the earth and the center of the galaxy ONCE EVERY year.

We all become bunnies.

take a look at this orbital simulator.

roll it ahead to Dec 2012…

there is no allignment.

looks like a superior conjunction with Jupiter. Whoopie.

many people are under the false influance that planets ''align''

the orbits of all the planets are not like a disc going round the sun, but go in all different directions, like abouve the sun

also people think they are perfect circle shaped. this also isnt true

they almost all of them are oval shaped, going at different speeds.

the likely hood of them all alighning all at once is about 1000000000000000000000000000:1

dont worry, and if it does happen, we cant do anything.

dont you think the millatary and government would be warning and preparing for this so called event? dont worry come what may

This is 2007 and we are having 2 out of every 15 questions on tis topic. why don't you search back before posting similar question.

The Mayan calendar doesn't end. one cycle of the Mayan calendar, a calendar which is very complex, ends and begins again on that day, just as ours does each year.

There is no alignment coming, because the ecliptic along which the planets travel is not in the same plane as the Milky way. Even were it to happen, I don't see what's so grand about a small star and one of it's circling rocks 93 million miles away "aligning" with the gravitational centre of the galaxy which is 30,000 light years distant. We're always here, gravitationally bound to it. I don't see why being in a certain orientation is going to make a difference.

The predators come to hunt the aliens on our planet. the aliens will be bred by facehugger technique.

WARNING: this is a reference to the AVP movie and all past predator / alien movies. im really sorry if you have no idea what those are.

if the grand alignment happens then it will tilt Earths axis and kill us all…

What will be the effects of the grand alignment predicted by the Mayan calender in Dec 2012?

2012 The End Times Mayan Calender?

Is 2012 the end times the ancient mayan people where talking about

2012 is the end of times on the Mayan Calendar in the same manner that December 31st is the end of times on the calendar you have hanging on your wall.
What do you do when you hit that last day on your calendar? do you prepare to die because there are no more days listed? No, you put up a new calendar. Same thing with the Mayan calendar. Its about to come to the point where there are no more listed days. That means if you happen to be mayan and still using the classic mayan calendar, you will need to get a new one.

Wow – talk about conflation of different doomsday prophecies….

First, there is absolutely nothing true about _any_ of the end-of-the-world things you have heard about – nothing. They are all false. Every. Single. one.

Second, the "end Times" are a Christian fundamentalist/religious/conservative myth. it has nothing at all to do with the much maligned Mayans. That is false, too. There are frequently claims by various groups that the <end time> is almost upon us, despite the fact that the Bible clearly says that no one will ever know when that time has arrived. so, those who claim the end times are here are contradicting the very words in that Bible they value so highly.

Third, the Mayan calendar does _not_ end. it simply turns over to another age – very much like our calendars change at the end of every year/decade/century. the Mayans measured long time periods quite differently than we do now, and their long calendar cycles are thousands of years in length.

Please see this web site for all of the scientific facts that totally disprove any 2012 doomsday claim ever made. http://www.2012hoax.org

Don't worry. the world has been here for many billions of years. it is not going to just come to an end in an instant.

The Mayans never claimed the world would end at any time. It's just some recent lunatics who used the Mayan calendar for a silly end of the world hoax that has no basis in reality. Only lying lunatics claim the Mayans said a word about 2012, and there's no sensible reason to believe such deluded liars.

No.

There is no "end time" in the Mayan calendar. the whole concept is a lie invented by José, for a book he wrote in the late 1980s. it was then taken by charlatans who wanted to recycle their own Planet-X hoax, after the end of the world of may 13, 2003. These charlatans are the ones who turned it into the end of the world.

The calendar that everyone "misuses" for the big 2012 Hoax is known to real experts as the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar (it was used by many cultures). it is a day count calendar that… counts days.

Today's date = 1 + yesterday's date.

That is all it does. it makes no predictions.

The Mayan people did use it for astronomy and to mark dates over very long periods. for example, there are real inscriptions, done by real Mayans around a thousand years ago, that use the calendar for dates that are still two thousand years in our future.

Obviously, real Mayans did not expect their calendar to end so soon.

José himself was weird. In another book (in 1972), he had claimed to be a reincarnated Mayan god (he is not – he was born in Minnesota). That is why his "predictions" became "Ancient Sacred Prophecies".

Real Mayans (because there are still some) were just as surprised as we were.

The only thing that the Long Count calendar does is come up to a round figure, as it does every 394 years and a quarter. what makes it "mysterious" is that Mayan mathematics did not use base-10 digits as we do – when we write a number, we use digits from 0 to 9.

The Mayans used a mixed base: days are counted in 20s, with 18 groups of 20 making a "sacred year" (our translation, not theirs) of 360 days. the rest of the calendar uses base-20

What was thought, at the time José's lie was used for the big 2012 Hoax, was that the next round figure would fall in 2012 in our calendar:

Mayan Long Count = our calendar
12.19.19.17.18 = 2012.12.19
12.19.19.17.19 = 2012.12.20
13.00.00.00.00 = 2012.12.21
13.00.00.00.01 = 2012.12.22
and so on… forever.

What we do know is that our correspondence dates don't match. this "translation" may be off by many years (up to a century) and the round figure date may have already passed. In fact, this is the 13th such round figure and the world has not ended on the previous 12th.

The whole idea that the Mayans themselves had any predictions for this date are recent inventions, most of them were invented specifically for the big 2012 Hoax.

Therefore, they CANNOT be "the end times the ancient mayan people where talking about"… because the ancient Mayans were NOT talking about end time at all.

The world didn't end when the Gregorian calendar cycled from B.C. to A.C..
So why would you expect the world to end when the Mayan calendar cycles as well?

Here, read this: http://astrobiology.nasa.gov/ask-an-astr…

+Unfortuantely, the 2012 hoax has shaken up a lot of people unnecessarily. the driving force behind this hoax is primairly people who are looking to make a profit, looking to make themselves well-known or both. There is no scientific (or theological) evidence that points to a great catastrophe in 2012. Don't be a victim of the hype. Hit the link below and hear an answer from an astrophysicist.

Actually, the ancient Mayans had no concept of an "end of times" or apocalypse, so far as anyone can tell. They certainly recorded no legends about such a thing, nor passed down any oral history to the modern Mayans.

Actually the Mayans NEVER predicted the world would end in 2012. They NEVER claimed humanity would cease to exist.

No. Read up on the long list of prior predictions (and how successful they were) that go back some 4800 years -
http://www.abhota.info/end1.htm

They NEVER say that the world is going to end – only that were moving to a "change" and that a new era will start – nothing about "the end"

I can't believe that people are still asking this… NO IT WON'T END! Wheres my 10 points for wasting my time on this answer?

NO!!!! how the **** would the mayans know the world was going to end any ways?

is dec 31 the end of tmes or do you just move on to the next calendar?

It's claptrap.

2012 The End Times Mayan Calender?

Huffman launches bid for Congress

Published: Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 6:09 p.m. Last Modified: Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 6:09 p.m.

Calling 2012 “a year of change,” Assemblyman Jared Huffman today officially launched his run for Congress with an online speech and roll call of current and former local elected officials supporting his candidacy.

In a five-minute video posted on his campaign website, Huffman, a San Rafael Democrat, said he has the “right combination of values, skills, sensibilities and record of getting things done” to represent California’s newly redesigned North Coast district, which stretches from Marin County’s southern border to the Oregon state line.

He cited support for environmental protection, health care and a strong social safety net as “core values” that must be defended.

“I’m not going to let the Republican extremists eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency or drill for oil off our coast or gut Medicare and Social Security,” he said.

He also listed other issues — education, energy independence and ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — as top priorities.

The platform aligns closely with the area’s current Democratic incumbents, including Mike Thompson of St. Helena, whose seat has been shifted inland by redistricting, and Lynn Woolsey of Petaluma, who plans to retire at the end of her 10th term representing the North Bay.

In his speech, Huffman said both had served the area well.

But he also said a new face would bring stronger leadership to Congress and help put a lid on the “partisan bickering and gridlock” in Washington.

“these are tough times,” he said. “They call for leaders who can do more than talk. We need leaders who can take our values and our priorities and put them into action.”

A list of Huffman’s supporters released today included 14 current and former elected officials in Sonoma and Marin counties.

In Sonoma County, the endorsements came from current Supervisors Valerie Brown, David Rabbitt and Efren Carrillo. former supervisors on the list were bill Kortum, Mike Kerns, Mike Reilly, Tim Smith and Eric Koenigshofer.

Huffman is one of five Democrats running for the congressional seat. Others are Marin author and activist Norman Solomon, Petaluma City Councilwoman Tiffany Renee, Marin County Supervisor Susan Adams and San Rafael businesswoman Stacey Lawson.

Huffman leads that group in campaign cash. after expenditures, he had $237,000 in the bank as of June 30. Solomon, the nearest challenger, had about $79,000 and Adams reported nearly $6,000. Renee and Lawson, who announced her campaign after the close of the latest reporting period, showed no financial activity on federal campaign finance reports.

Solomon, who is campaigning this week in Humboldt and Mendocino counties, also made an announcement today, declaring that he will not be accepting donations from corporate political action committees.

He said the call stemmed from his push for tighter campaign finance rules and criticism of Wall Street’s heavy influence in Washington.

“We’re not supposed to have government of, by and for large corporations,” he said in a statement. “I don’t want their money. I want to be accountable to voters, not Wall Street.”
