Resolved Question: More of the Rain Story, as I call it, or the one that may be hopelessly romantic.?
Again, tell me what you think. Any suggestions at every will be welcome. Also, again, no need to read the whole thing. He began weeping, and it was unsettling to look Patrick, so strong and collected, my protector, looking like this. “Promise me something, Loni,” he said, his voice quavering. “Promise me that you understand that I have to do this, but I still adore you. And promise me you won’t go looking for me. If anyone asks, you don’t know where I am and I never came back tonight. Understand?” I nodded, even though I didn’t really understand. What could Patrick possibly have done? Why would he do it? And why couldn’t he tell me what happened? But I knew Patrick had a reason for everything, so let him walk out the front door. He stopped to give me one last kiss and a long look, then twirled around and hurried out the door and down the road, the icy rain falling as difficult as ever. At least this time he remembered his jacket. Even though it was midnight, I was long from snooze. I went into the kitchen and made myself a cup of tea, staring numbly at the opposite wall. It was a dull ugly, gray color, chipping in some places. The ceiling was filled with cracks, and the floor, with its fake linoleum tiles, wasn’t much better. No wonder we never had visitors; this place was a dump. But it wasn’t like we could afford much better. We were married at the age of 22 and had barely finished college. Now, four years later, I worked as a waitress at a family restaurant for slightly over minimum wage, and Patrick was a carpenter. Even though the home was a mess and required a lot of maintenance we couldn’t afford, we were both extremely excited when we found it. Compared to the apartment we used to live in, this place was a palace. The cracks and leaks didn’t seem to be there when we bought the home, but everyday they became more evident. How I wanted to receive out of this home. If only Patrick had taken me with him! Patrick. What was he doing now? The kitchen clock now read 12:30. Did he find a place to snooze? Was he still running? Had someone found him yet? There were so many questions I didn’t want to think about. I wanted to step out of my life, just for a little while, to look what it was like to live a usual life. To not have to worry about when the next heating bill would arrive, or keep a strict budget. To have a perfectly normal family whose husband was not running from authorities. To have kids, maybe a little boy and girl. Patrick and I both wanted kids. I fantasized about holding them, playing with them, laughing with them, being proud of them. However, kids were out of the question. We barely had enough money to support ourselves. Catalina: I'm not exactly sure yet why he has to leave. It's difficult--Patrick would never kill someone, but he might if he thought that Loni was in danger. He wouldn't steal something, but he might if Loni was starving. Loni is the biggest thing in his life and he'd do anything to protect her. But I'm kinda thinking he killed someone to keep Loni safe, even though that is not like Patrick at every. Oh, and it's not a short story. I gave up trying to write short stories a long time ago. I posted most of the beginning about 25 minutes ago on Yahoo Answers if you want to check it out.
Resolved Question: On the subject of career ending tackles and horrific injuries ?
I was thinking about some of the questions asked on Ramsey's leg break caused by Shawcross's irresponsible challenge. I then remembered a player who had to retire from the game on the 11th of December 2009, aged just 26 and highly rated amongst fellow professionals, coaches, scouts and managers. Dean Ashton. He made his debut for West Ham in Ferbruary 2006 in a 3-2 win over London rivals Arsenal, but was plagued by injuries. Shawn Wright Philips single handedly ended Dean Ashtons career with a 'tackle' in an international training session. a career prematurely ended. If Ashton was pursuing legal advice on how best to sue S.W.P and receive financial compensation, shouldn't Ramsey be doing the same thing ? below what circumstances is Ramsey's scenario different ? did he not become victim to a potentialy career ending challenge by shawcross ? never mind that - on the road if I grabbed a lad by the collar and pushed him up against the wall i'd receive arrested for assault, and it'd be registered as a crime IF the police on duty weren't a55holes that is. but appraently if your leg gets smashed to pieces on a pitch, its 'an accident'. just wondering how Dean Ashtons case is different to Ramsey's. thoughts and opinions on this, gladly appreciated.
Resolved Question: Question about paying a late bill?
I "purchased" a 4 month subscription to The Wall road Journal and was billed for it after a couple weeks. I still haven't payed the subscription fee, but I'm still getting papers 2 months later! Can I receive in trouble for this? What if I don't pay? The only info I gave them was my address and I plan to move in a couple months, so how will they ever be able to take legal action against me? Yeah yeah, I know it's morally wrong, but I don't think there's anything they can do about it. I look where you're coming from, Wiseman, but it still doesn't make sense. So you're telling me that anyone with my name trying to purchase anything on credit won't be able to? My name is David Johnson and I'm moving over 500 miles from my current address, I don't think they stand a chance of getting my money.
Resolved Question: In 2-3 sentences, can you describe a scary street?
I attempted to submit my response to a similar question, but discovered that the question was suddenly deleted. I had a lot of fun writing my description and wanted to share it on-line. I'd adore to look other submissions. Have fun and give it a good effort! Here's my description: The crooked forlorn road writhed through the accursed neighborhood of decrepit and ramshackle dwellings; its inhabitants wary and suspicious of anyone passing through. Deep sinister shadows inhabited every corrupt bend and every detestable alley repugnant of the rancid stench of urine and decay. Perpetual grey and endless desolation adorned their menacing walls, tattered doors, and deteriorated sidewalks.
Resolved Question: Why did Barney Frank drop a bomb by saying Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are risky investments?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/05/AR2010030501764.html?hpid=topnews Rep. Frank questions safety of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac investments "The comments by Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), chairman of the home Financial Services Committee, arrive despite the assumption of many investors that investments in the two mortgage finance giants are risk-free. Until now, federal officials -- who took over Fannie and Freddie two years ago to keep them from collapse -- have signaled to the market that lending the companies money is just about as safe as lending to the U.S. government itself." "People who possess Fannie and Freddie debt are not in the same legal position as [those who possess] Treasury bonds and I don't want them to be," Frank said in an interview Thursday. " The whole point of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was that investors were protected by a federal guarantee against loss. Why is Barney Frank throwing the home lending world into turmoil by announcing that this guarantee should be discontinued? Does this mean now we can tighten regulation of Wall road, because the main argument against reforms is that it might create "uncertainty" and hurt the markets. Hasn't Frank dropped a bomb on the home lenders and created "uncertainty" in that market?

Open Question: Why does this girl keep popping into my head and how to I stop it?
Well, I had this crush on this girl in sophomore year and it was just that... a crush. I never really acted on it and I could tell she wasn't interested. I am a senior now. We both still go to the same school and I really am not attracted to this girl. You really have to look at this from a high school point of view but I would have to say I am higher up on the social ladder than her and she really isn't the prettiest girl in the school. She isn't ugly, but she isn't some sort of captain of the cheerleading squad drop-dead gorgeous girl. I will admit that she was probably a lot more popular than I was sophomore year but you know how things change in high school. I don't ever talk to her and she pisses me off to an extent. For several reasons but mainly because of the way she acts toward me. For awhile I though she hated me but now I think its more that I hate her. When I did have a crush on her she wouldn't give me her phone number. Probably because she knew I had a crush on her, but honestly we are in high school and a phone number really isn't the same gesture as it is in later life. I mean, I look her every day and it's not like I couldn't receive her number from a pal if I really wanted to. We were at the same party a month or so ago and she was with this guy from another school. I thought it would be smart to tell her that this guy had hooked up with five other girls before her. I asked for her number so I could text her it (Rather than say it because she was sitting with him) and she tried to give me her friends number... obviously I could tell. I got pissed and left. Then she tried to make up with me by telling her friends later that she was sorry and that she didn't want things to be bad between us. She tries to make this not awkward between us but I cant really arrive to grips about the whole situation. She tries to socialize with me at parties, "arrive drink with me!" (If you are a guy you know that whole thing girls do when they say something like that and tug on you) The weird part is that they normally do things like that when they like you. Anyway, the reason why I am asking this question is because this girl keeps popping into my head and I can't cease it. My friends have been asking me why I talk about her so much. The fact is that I do talk about her too much. It's not because I have a crush on her or want to date her in any way. I will just be talking and *bam* she will pop into my head for whatever reason. Sometimes it is in context; sick pass a road with the same name as her last name or something like that. Most of the time, however, it is completely out of the blue. My pal will be talking about a girl and this other girl will just pop into my head. Often times it will be even more random than that. The whole situation is starting to receive on my nerves. I can't really talk to my friends about it because they thing I am obsessing over her enough. I guess I am. But not it the stalker-creepy way. Hopefully, but I guess I really wouldn't know. Any advice would help. I just want to make this cease. ---------------------------------------------------- Sorry for the wall of text. Also, a few more situations that have added to my confusion. When I had a crush on her we were talking one time and somone asked me something. I responded to their question briefly and then went back to talking to her. It was awhile ago but I think I stopped mid sentence to respond to the other person. She said "Wow, really?" and then wouldn't tell me why she said that. I am pretty sure its because I interrupted our conversation, but if she didnt care about me why would she say that. Maybe I am overthinking this whole situation. Ive had crushes before but this girl sticks out for some reason. Also, to make things worse. I think her best pal (The one who's number she gave me) has a crush on me or something. She keeps telling me that she loves me and that I am really cute and she always comes close to me at parties or whenever we hang out. I think this is a newer development though -- as in this year only. -- Every thing about this girl is stopping me from having a relationship. Every time I receive close to having one I break it off. At first I thought it was fear of commitment but I really don't know The odd part is that I haven't had a girlfriend since I first got a crush on this girl. I mean I am not a social deviant or anything like that. Although you may think so because I am typing some things that I would never even say to my friends.
Voting Question: How have you coped with abuse, and how has your experience affected your siblings/life?
I was abused by my dad, the whole array of abuse from mental, to physical, to sexual. It began when I was very young (6) and did not end until I ran away from his home at 17. My mom and dad divorce and that is when it began, I believe it was because I was the youngest and the most reminiscent of my mom for him. I was easy prey, I am sure. Eventually the breaking point came when I was 17 and he had not even touched me yet, but he was starting the rounds. I was trying to do my homework and he was very jealous of how I spent my time. Whenever we were at his home on weekends, we were not allowed to take showers because he claimed that it, "took time away from him." My sister was at college 4 hours away, and I was having to deal with him by myself. And something snapped and I began throwing my books at him, I turned over the table, sent the computer smashing to the ground and ran out of his home. I just ran and ran until one of the people on our road noticed me running in just a T-shirt and pair of socks and let me use her home phone and she brought me too my mom. I asked this question because I am also in the healing process and am curious to how other people who have suffered abuse have dealt with it. How has it affected your life, your relationships, your job? And most importantly, if you have siblings, have you told them? My sister and I were always extremely close. But somehow she never suffered the same abuse I did. He tried the mental manipulation on her the way he would to me, but she is a much stronger minded person and would dish it right back. Despite the fact that I have not had contact with him since I was 17 (I am now 22) she continues the relationship. Which I do not begrudge her, because I have never personally told her everything that has happened. As far as she knows (from me) I have only experienced mental and emotional abuse from him. But my husband told her husband last year about the physical and sexual abuse I underwent. Who in turn relayed it to my sister who said that it was impossible and I must be making it up.. This got back to me, and I was devastated and it has put a notch on our relationship that we have no confronted because I can not stand the idea of being rejected by my sister.. How have you handled this dilemma? How has abuse affected my life? Well, it opened me up to a broader range of being abused by more people. I was so young and desensitized at such an age that I never could tell the difference between someone who wanted to help and hurt me. I dated abusive boyfriends, got myself into dangerous situations, and clip myself off from feeling to much about anything. Abuse can turn you into a drone of sorts, I went through the day, reacted like a human, but didn't feel human. As soon as I was feeling too much, I would clip it off and cease caring. Since then I have found counseling and supportive friends and passions that keep me going, and I am breaking down walls everyday. But I still am sexually stifled. I am either voracious, or have no desire whatsoever and even the thought disgusts me.. And I am ashamed that sometimes when I am with my husband that sex stops feeling like I am making adore, and feels more like rape.. Even though he would never force me into discomfort, it just hits me out of no where. I still have trouble saying no to anyone, I am overly nice and accommodating and it allows anyone to walk right over me. BUt again, I am working toward something better everyday. And lastly, it has made working difficult at times. Of course I have been left with residual anxiety and depression at times, and I have terrible fear that I will be at my job and my dad or another man that hurt me will show up. These thoughts poison everything, but you can only continue loving yourself.. And never be afraid to lean on the people who support you. And if you did not pursue the abuser in court (which I did not) do you regret it?

Voting Question: Which would be better for the long term: Financial system collapse OR banks with no incentive to reign in risk?
It's becoming obvious that the Federal Govt. is going to do whatever it wants (regardless of what the people are requesting). But they are trying to justify their growing power by claiming "the financial system would collapse" if we didn't (insert preferred policy that rewards Wall road for failure here). And it seems like anytime you question any of these shady policies you are met with a response similar to: That would undermine the program. (The same programs that keep stealing the people's money??) So IN THE LONG TERM, what would be more beneficial to the U.S. population: Letting a financial system acting stupid collapse OR allow that same financial system to hold your govt. hostage with the threat of a "financial collapse"?? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/31/tarp-watchdog-neil-barofs_n_443489.html The government's response to the financial meltdown has made it more likely the United States will face a deeper crisis in the future, an independent watchdog at the Treasury Department warned. The problems that led to the last crisis have not yet been addressed, and in some cases have grown worse, says Neil Barofsky, the special inspector general for the trouble asset relief program, or TARP. The quarterly report to Congress was released Sunday.....................One case concerns apparent self-dealing by one of the private fund managers Treasury picked to buy bad assets from banks at discounted prices. A portfolio manager at the firm apparently sold a bond out of a private fund, then repurchased it at a higher price for a government-backed fund. A rating agency had just downgraded the bond, so it likely was worth less, not more, when the government fund bought it. The company is not being named pending the outcome of Barofsky's investigation. Barofsky renewed a call for Treasury to enact clearer walls so that such apparent conflicts are less likely. Treasury said it welcomed Barofsky's oversight but resisted the call to erect new barriers against conflicts of interest. The new rules "would be detrimental to the program," Treasury spokeswoman Meg Reilly said in a statement. The existing compliance rules "are a rigorous and effective method of protecting taxpayers," she said.
Resolved Question: Needing PA laws regarding divorce, custody & classifications for child abandonment?
I have a family member that has been in a horrible situation/marriage. He has 2 kids, ages 14 & 12. His wife & their mom has had years of known drug abuse, identity theft charges, theft & drug trafficking charges and is currently on probation. He has had his fair share of issues too, and not the perfect one. He has been trying to straighten his life out. He began drinking beer due to depression below the circumstances they were living, She insisted that they move to PA because her mom has recently leaving there. He did not want to move, but wanted to be with his kids. He ended up moving, leaving his entire family 1700 miles aways. He has been absolutely miserable since. In 2007, her mom passed away & then there was a big within her family. She repeatedly would emotionally & mentally abuse him, so he continued to drink beer. She would call him names in front of the kids and tell the kids he was nothing but a drunk and did not care about them. He would just tolerate the abuse and drown in beer and kept silent. Recently he discovered that she was leaving in his truck in the middle of the night (3a.m.) & receiving calls at odd hours and meeting to purchase drugs, while he was home asleep with the kids. When he confronted her, she began screaming and threatening him. She attempted to hit him and reached up to protect himself and keep her from hitting him. She told the youngest child "Look he i s trying to hit me". The child took a seat and hit her dad., which upset him and he told her he would never hit the mom but was trying to keep the mom from hitting him. She then took a beer and threw it against the wall and started screaming, turn on a video camera and pretended that he was throwing beer bottles at her and video taped the beer bottled and floor and screamed. Anyway, long story I know, he finally had to call his parents crying, begging for a plane ticket to arrive home to keep from doing anything stupid, he walked away. The kids wanted to stay in PA because of their friends & school. He said they were safe with her, but she had gone psycho. He flew home to receive his had together and she has continuously called & texted him and other family members using profanity and threatening statements. She refuses to let the kids talk to him and when he does manage to receive one on the phone, she hollers & screams the entire time. When he calls, she will tell him the kids do not want to talk to him, curses him and he has to hang up. He had recently been on unemployment because he had a work injury. 1 week after he was home, he received his unemployment check. He sent every but $300.00 to her, totaling $900.00 to her and $800.00 to the renter that owns the place she & kids are still living in, because he wanted to make sure the kids were not on the road. Less than 1 week later, she called cursing him wanting more money. She threatened him and told him she was filing felony charges in PA for child abandonment, because they had no money or food. He has provided her with money but she has told the kids their daddy wants them to starve and want send them money. My question is In the state of PA, is this really child abandonment? Does he have a chance or legal rights? She told him tonight that if he did not send her more money, she was filing charges tomorrow and she had full custody of the kids and did not have to let him look them, stating he gave up his rights. He needs much legal advice. He feels she must have spent the money of drugs, to go through $900.00 in less than a week. He has no money and needs help. Since he has been with his family, his entire demeanor has changed. The obsessive drinking has cease, he his glad with the exception of missing his 2 kids and her continuous threats. PLEASE HELP
Resolved Question: What do you think of this poem?
He had three sons and they, every three, When called, for the encampment left; So the needy dad was bereft Of relax and peace, for war, thought he. Is difficult - one has no time to feel That one has ceased to be. And many months went in and out, And rife with tidings was the world: No more were Turkish flags unfurled, The Moslems had been put to rout, For the unscarred Romanian lads Full well had fought throughout. The papers wrote that every the men That had been called the spring before Were due to quit the site of war; So to the village came again Now one, and now another yet Of those who had left then. But they were long in coming, they. He wept - he thought how they would meet, So at the gate or in the road He scrutinized the roads every day, And they came not. And fear was born And lengthened the delay. His ardent wish waned more and more And ever bleaker grew his fear; And though he questioned far and close, every shrugged their shoulders as before; At last, then, he went to the barracks To learn what was in store. The corporal met him. "Sir, my son. My Radu, well - how does he fare ?" He did for every his kids care, But Radu was the dearest one. "He's dead. In the first ranks, at Plevna He fell. And well he's done !" needy man... That Radu was in dust He had long felt, and felt past cure; But now, when he did know for sure, He stood bewildered and nonplussed. Dead Radu ? What ? The news exceeded every human sense and trust. Be curst, o, fiendish arm and man ! "And how is George ?" "Sir, I'm afraid below a cross he has been laid, Breast-smitten by a yataghan." "And my needy Mircea ?" "Mircea, too, Died somewhere close Smirdan." He said no word - dumb with the doom, With forehead bent, like, on the cross, A Christ, he looked, every at a loss At the mute flooring of the room. He seemed he saw in front of him Three corpses in a tomb. With feeble gait and dizzy eyes He walks into the open air; While groaning, stumbling on the stair, He calls his boys by name and cries And fumbling for some wall around To stand upright he tries. The blow he hardly can withstand; He does not know if he is dead Or still alive; he rests his head Upon a bank of burning sand; His long, emaciated face He buries in his hand. And so the man sat woe-begone. It was midsummer and mid-day; Yet soon the sun faded away And lastly it was set and gone; The human wreck would never budge; He just stood on and on. Past him, men, women walked care-free, Cabs on the highroad rumbled by, Past marched the soldiers with steps high, And then, the moment he could look, He pressed his temples with his fists: "Three, mighty God, every three !";

In the distance they could look Anne starting the engine of her 4WD, steering into another road and out of their sight. “Phew!” sighed Adam, returning to the driver’s seat and running his fingers through his light reddish-brown hair. “That was close. Let’s keep going, the faster we receive out of Brisbane, the better.” Shane’s noisy crunching of Smith’s potato chips was drowned out by the sudden roar of the engine as Adam started the car. They drove silently for a few hours, excluding Shane’s crunches and the beeping noises from Bradley’s PSP, until the sky had turned a brilliant shade of violet, and Adam’s eyes begun to droop. “We should park somewhere for the night,” he yawned, his mouth open gargantuously. “Don’t need to look your breakfast,” Shane said jokingly, his head leaning on the van window. In front of them was only the highway, and the possibility of stopping at any soon moment seemed diminutive. Adam’s blinks were turning more into short naps as they drove on, and every few minutes the van would start veering off the correct lane when Adam’s sleeping arm lost control of the steering wheel. “Adam!” Bradley shouted suddenly, his eyes tearing away from the PSP in his hands. Adam awoke for a brief second, but soon his head was lolling around his chest again. They were no longer on the highway, but a more deserted road that looked as though it was half bitumen and half dirt. The more immediate problem, rather than the unlevel road they were on, however, was that in directly in front of them, less than five centimetres away, was a massive truck with a trailer labelled ‘Nathaniel and Penelope’s big Farm Animals’. “Adam, steer to the right!” Bradley called, but upon receiving no response from Adam, he clambered over the table and mini sofa in his way to reach the driver’s seat. He pulled the steering wheel to the right sharply, causing the van’s left wheels to leave the ground momentarily. They were no longer so close behind the truck in front of them, but Bradley’s abrupt steering of the van had caused it to accident into the back of the truck’s trailer. “What’s going on?” Adam had awoken, and his eyes were wide with fright. “Is someone hurt?” shouted Shane, also recently awake. “I heard a accident!” “We’re fine,” Bradley said nervously. “I don’t know about the farm animals though.” Though neither the van nor the trailer had suffered much damage, the van had collided in the exact point in the trailer where the latch to close the trailer door was. Suddenly, the back wall of the massive trailer fell back onto the road, revealing a menagerie within it. “Oh, crap,” said Adam quietly. Realising they were free; the animals in the trailer were running out of the trailer desperately. A man and a lady, who they every assumed were Nathaniel and Penelope, emerged from the front section of the truck with appalled faces. “Excuse me!” the lady was stomping towards the van looking utterly enraged. “Help us!” Bradley, Adam and Shane raced out of the van at record speed, a mean feat considering they had been driving around every day. Cows, sheep, pigs and horses were running around madly. “I got it, I got it!” Shane was yelling, finally managing to sit on a sheep and cease it escaping. “receive off, you stupid boy!” the lady screamed in a thick accent. “You will kill the sheep!” Shane stood embarrassedly, grabbing the sheep by its collar instead. “Sorry,” he mumbled. The sheep stood up alright, though looking positively flustered. The relax of the twenty or so animals were running crazily around the truck and Astrid, mostly in circles, though a cow could be seen running off into the moon. “Here, cowy, cowy, cowy,” Adam cooed to the running cow’s behind. Even though slightly shorter than the other two, Adam ran the fastest, so he began chasing the cow. Not long after, he’d grabbed its collar, but the cow didn’t look too pleased. “Argh!” complained Adam, releasing the cow as he lifted his foot. It was now covered in a thick, lumpy brown substance. Rearing, the cow sprinted towards the moon determinedly. “The cow jumped over the moon,” sung Shane, watching Adam and the cow running in the distance. He himself was struggling to hold an upset chicken in his arms. It was kicking into his ribs, and attempting to peck his fingers. “Brad, help me with this chicken!” he called to Bradley, who could be seen chasing a calf in circles. Evidently the plea for help hadn’t reached Bradley’s ears, for he continued chasing the cow. Penelope was fuming; she had her fingers deep in her dark hair as she stood in the centre of the chaos, watching the three boys, Nathaniel and the animals. The only caught animal was Shaun’s sheep, and it looked just about ready to escape the truck. “cease!” screamed Penelope. She glowered disapprovingly at Bradley, who continued chasing the baby cow. “You stupid boys accident my truck, and then you can’t catch my animals. I expect every my animals back by nine o’clock at the farm, I can’t watch this anymore,” she announced, grabbing Shaun’s chicken from his arms and shoving it into the truck along with the sheep. Immediately it flew back out and joined the cow in doing circles. Penelope and Nathaniel climbed back into their truck impatiently and drove off. On the back of the truck was an address the boys assumed was the farm’s. Hastily, Bradley grabbed a pen out of a compartment in Astrid’s passenger door and begun writing the address on his wrist. “103 Hemsway Road, Newcastle,” he said. “That’s okay; it’s on the way, clock-wise around Australia, isn’t it?” “Now, the problem is, how are we ever going to catch these stupid animals,” Shane sighed, suddenly charging off, looking much like the Warner Brothers roadrunner, when he spotted the chicken he had previously caught. “Food,” Adam announced. “Adam, we’re nice of busy,” Bradley exclaimed, catching the calf in what looked to be an embrace. “No, food to catch the animals,” Adam rolled his eyes. “Best idea you’ve had every day,” said Shane. From the van, Adam emerged carrying two bags of crisps in his arms. With Bradley’s and Shane’s help, he scattered them on the ground outside the van. “You didn’t happen to bring hay or something?” Shane wanted to know as he watched the animals respond in a bored fashion to the food. “Why would I have brought that?” Adam asked. “Same reason you brought a baby name book,” Shane sighed disappointedly. As Shane was about to start stuffing the chips back into the bags, a grey sheep approached the heap on the ground. “close up, everybody,” Shane said. “Woo!” Shane cheered as they pushed the last pig’s behind into Astrid. He mopped his sweaty side fringe with the back of his hand, joining Bradley and Adam in the kombi. “Now, we need to receive to…” Adam begun, leering over to look at Bradley’s wrist. “103 Hemsway Road, Newcastle.” He reached into a plastic bag that was resting on the sofa, next to one of the sheep and pulled out a massive road directory of New South Wales. “I brought a road directory for every state and territory,” he announced, raising his head from the directory, and looking around at Shane and Bradley as though expecting praise. When none came, he looked back at the thick book in his lap and begun running his finger along a page, looking for the farm’s address. “Here it is.” he said. “We’re actually fairly close, just a couple of kilometres away.” He stood up to guide Bradley in the right direction, who had taken over driving since the second mishap below Adam’s driving. “Do we have to give back every the animals?” Shane asked with a sheepish grin forming on his face as he stroked the head of a brown calf. “I mean, it’s not like they’d notice if one measly cow went missing.” Adam walked over to him meaningfully, almost tripping over a duck that was running in circles in the middle of the van. “Shane, they would notice. Besides, if we were going to steal an animal, I’m much rather the pig, you know, it’s chilly. Or even the hen, but not the –“ His sentence was clip short by the sudden jolt of the van as Bradley pressed the brakes down forcefully. “We’re here, guys, and every the animals are going back,” Bradley said sternly, grabbing a couple of chickens and pushing a pig out of the van. THANKS SO MUCH IF YOU READ IT every, OR EVEN A BIT! There is more, and will be a lot more, so if you like it :) I am going to post it on one, but I'll receive more feedback if I post on both :)
Resolved Question: IS FINANCE a GOOD FIELD FOR A CAREER?
I'm a junior in high school and i'm considering to go into corporate finance....Infortunately, my finances along with other factors probably won't receive me into a tier one school (Columbia, Harvard, etc.) My question is if I attend a school such as my state school (UCONN) and graduate with a business major and pursue an MBA or MS in finance/economics are there quality job opportunities out there in the next lets say 6-7 years. I'm not talking about a the average joe stock broker on wall road. I'm talking about invesment banking among other wall road positions.
Voting Question: What do you think this......?
97% of the world's media is controlled by six Jewish figures. Michael Eisner, a Jew, is CEO of the Walt Disney Corporation. Walt Disney puts out movies that change kid's views on the world. Eisner also purchased ABC in 1995. ABC affects markets in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Houston. The holding company for ABC is Shamrock Holdings, located in Israel. Steven Bornstein is CEO of ESPN, a subsidiary of ABC. ESPN for every of you who didn't know runs the sports world. Bornstein is also a Jew. Stuart Bloomberg is Head of Entertainment Division of ABC. His company ISO has holdings in A&E and Lifetime. He is also a Jew. Eric Ober is president of CBS News. He is also a Jew. Andrew Lack is President of NBC News. He is a Jew. Joe Roth heads the Disney Picture Group, which includes Touchstone Picture. Yup , you guessed it. He is a Jew. The Weinstein brothers run Miramax Films. No comment needed. Gerald Levin, chairman of AOL Time Warner, is a Jew. Time Warner has a subsidiary HBO. Sherry Lansing, a Jew, is chairman of Paramount Pictures. Also, the presidents of 20th Century Fox and Sony of America are both Jews. Now, Think about the oil in the middle east/Jewish lands. You mean to tell me that none of these men affect daily lives around the world. Here comes the messed up part. Hitler killed 6 million Jewish people in the Holocaust. There are six points on the Star of David. 6 is also the number of days it took god to create the world. There are six public fasts in Judaism. Not trying to be the burden of bad news, but are Jewish people running the world that we live in today secretly? Think about the media. It puts out commercials, shows, movies, tells us what we want to hear and what we dont. You dont think that the CEO's of these media companies do not affect elections,etc. Give me a break. I know this wasnt a question, sorry. soooo... What do you think? Also, Jewish Families possess the New York Times and The Wall road Journal. I am not anti-semitic. I have Jewish Family. I was talking to my uncle and it made me think I am not embarassed about myself. You mean whatever we look on the news is true. What, there is not people behind the scenes pulling the strings. Look at Bush's whole Presidency

Resolved Question: Opinions on my writing?
I am Gabriella, and Fall Autumn is one of mine. She is an orphan within the Green Home Orphanage Portland, Oregon, a tiny Orphanage that is run by myself, it's an overseas orphanage; and Autumn is indeed not local. Her distinctive name solely derives from the fall season itself, autumn. It was decided she’d carry the forename, fall and the middle name, autumn for being born in the fall season, not to mention after her mom discovered a golden brown hair sprouting out of her little head, glistening within the ward shortly after her birth. Unfortunately her mom and dad disappeared, and she was placed into care, my care. The reason is unknown, though she is a little angel, and is thriving within these walls moreover than any other child. Fall is an outgoing, glad child; a strong thinker and quick learner, there is big question to why her parents abandoned her, whatever the reason she is a bright and lovely child, and if she were my child, I would never have a second thought about sending her to orphanage, but it was lucky she was sent to my orphanage, below my care and not some other orphanage someplace else in this big bad world. I’ve been trying to track down Autumn’s parents for quite some time, but I just can’t find out where they are, or what of their possess wellbeing, whether they wish to ever look their child again. hear to me babbling on about this child, it’s not like I’ve ditched the others, in fact Loretta is a nice girl too-a local girl. She just so happens to be one of Autumn’s best friends, she isn’t here right now, her dad took her away on a trip to silver falls, you look; the other kids here receive visitors, Autumn doesn’t, you could say that’s why I have such a strong connection with her. Despite me seeing her so glad, I find myself crying sometimes when I’m alone, it just doesn’t seem fair for her, but I don’t think she realizes it anyway. every that matters is that I look after her, and keep trying to find leads on her parents, though I do tend to find myself pulling away from even doing that, after each passing week my searches receive weaker and weaker, I believe – and though I’ve never met them, I strongly believe her parents are bad and wrong, who would think of leaving this wonderful girl, I even think about adopting her myself and leaving this place, but that wouldn’t be fair on the other kids. I was sitting on the window ledge of the orphanage, gazing out the big Orion windows at the vibrant colors; golden brown leaves from the beach trees lightly sprinkled hovering over the pavements and amongst the streets, mixed with reds and yellows, gathered at the sides of the roads and floating timelessly in space. The sun shone through the red leaves of the trees lighting up the urban jungle, creating a stain glass; crimson red glow, the whole picture was filled with a sepia tone effect. It was like being in a painting, being in a fantasy world, I loved it. It was yet again, autumn in Portland, my season. It was not enough; I wanted to feel the air brush against me, so I opened the window and sat back, gazing out and feeling. My eyes were drawn away from that iris melting world by a knock at the door, grabbing the sides of the window ledge; I lowered myself down, my feet landing on a bunch of harsh, dead autumn leaves that were blown inside threw the opened window. There was a further three knocks at the door, for some reason I felt discomfort, but I proceeded and opened the door. It was Gabriella, the landlady; head of the orphanage. She barged in as soon as I fully opened the door, gently sweeping me to the side. I stood there, saddened as she brushed the leaves out and closed the window. She turned to me and gave me a lecture, she said “I know this season means a lot to you Autumn, I can look the connection, but those are just words Autumn, words!” Gabriella crouched down in front of me, blocking the view with her dried up face that had leather for skin she grabbed me and she yelled “Look I know your name is Autumn, and I know you like Autumn, and I realize you are lonely right now but would you just cease opening the windows in this place!” I scraped up a forgotten pile of leaves and smothered them over her face, Gabriella loosened her grip, whilst spiting and spurting I crawled away and stood up. Scared that she might yell at me further, I was surprised of her reaction “Autumn, why don’t we both go to silver falls and look Loretta, would you like that?” I yelled back “Silver falls doesn’t have deciduous trees, it only has evergreen!” Gabriella tutted and left the room leaving me enraged, I did want to look Loretta, but I was drawn to this other world, and it just so happened to take Loretta out of the picture. I stood outside with my back to the door, thinking about what just happened, sucking the saliva through my teeth as my thoughts went by, rolling my tongue to the side of a tooth only to taste… dirt. Why did she do that? Wait, it was my fault I Continued: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100127062939AAanST9
Resolved Question: What do you think of my monologue? I'm only 14, is it funny?
it's difficult to understand. Please answer. I'm only 14 and this is the only thing i've done, so only constructive criticism. You don't have to read every of it. just please response? The first 3 paragraphs suck. After that, it gets much better. Just skip the first 3 So for some reason at lunch a few days ago we were talking about homophobia. And as I got in to the word "homophobic," the only out-of-the-closet gay kid in our grade happened to walk by. Not wanting to offend him, I stopped myself mid-way through the word. It was timed perfectly. He walks by, accidentally, I say, "homo." Later that day in the gym locker my buddies and I were trying to arrive up with a name for one of their band's songs. We were talking about the name Oliver's tune for their band and I brought up that this could be okay because of Adam's tune by Blink-182. Adam happens to be the name of this exact same gay kid and he was standing right by. My pal erupted in laughter and made me look like a freaking republican senator from Louisiana. You know what I truly despise? Ignorace. It is a proven fact that I have the most dim-witted teacher in the U.S. school system. First of every, I've met dudes named pablo working at McDonald's who know english better than she does. And at least the Joses and Ricardos of the world talk fluent spanish. English is her first language. I've heard her say ROOsevelt and gaz-A-bo, and information ("a" sound like "a" in ration.) She also tells us that Hitler was wrong just because he has an ugly mustache. So let me receive this straight. If Hitler looked like Taylor Lautner or some s**t like that would she have a swastica poster in her room? You're pretty ugly and stupid, so who is she to grade my papers? My pal once asked me how you know when you're swearing too much. I have arrive up with a logical answer. Just bear with me here. Take the F word. It's a verb, right? And take the word d***e. It's a noun. When you start to use d****e as a verb like I"'m gonna douche you up" or "C**t, I look as ugly as f**k today" you better do some self-reflecting. Even though if you're as ugly as you sound, stay away from a mirror. One of the many things I hate is plastic surgery. You should look a teacher of mine. Let's just put it this way: she'd fit in more in the wax museum than in reality. And I adore how impressed people are when they're in the wax museum and they'll say,"That looks exactly like Joan Rivers." You do know this museum is full of Holllywood stars. So, she is composed of 100% plasticy, waxy substance in reality and in the museum. Do you know anybody with the same hair color as Donald Trump? The answer is no. Donald Trump has the most unique hair-color on Earth. Only Conan O'Brien can say he has Donald- Trump colored hair. And only Donald Trump can flame someone with no guilt in a terrible economy while he has a wife 24 years younger than him. here are 4 deep and philosophical questions: what happens when Justin Beiber hits puberty? Then again, chicks don't receive deepened voices when they go through puberty. Don't believe he's a girl? He's having a sweet sixteen. Can Tigers and Courgars reproduce? every I can say is that would make for some perverted, creepy, multi-talented kid. What is the diameter of Bill O'Reily's Adam's apple? I've always wondered if Obama lives up some of the african american stereotypes? can't manage billions, hates old, southern white guys, but had a kid at the age of 39. Everybody has theories right? You may not know it, but you have one. One of mine is called "The Deception of Cadence." For example, Katie Couric has the ability of saying anything and make it sound like she's backing you up against the wall. Katie says to you on the road,"So, thought of any baby names?" You,"Well, in the end I can garuntee you that my decision will make this country a better place to live in." You know who else has this. Ice Cube. He can tell you anything and it'' sound completely badass. (Icecube) "So man, I was thinking on donating some money to help research cancer." (You) "Dude, you're gonna receive us in some deep s**t. I just got a parking ticket 6 months ago. i don't wanna be behind bars. I know I need to transition and this would arrive out clearer if it was spoken
Resolved Question: How does one stop kittens from attacking any person with food? Real question!?
Real question, for a very real problem. I'm looking for real answers! I have four cats, indoor only. every four are rescues, the three males are neutered, the female is spayed. The two older males are easy to live with, and very affectionate. They never posed any real problems for us. The kittens!!! They are now about eight, maybe nine months old. We rescued them from the road them when they were about three months old. A neighbor told us he saw them receive dumped from a vehicle. They are sweet, affectionate, home broke easily, no real problems, until anyone tries to eat almost anything. And they're relentless about it. They jump up one the counter during food prep (this occurs when I prepare our dogs' meals, as well) over & over & over. Won't toss them against the wall but constantly tossing them away. They reach into bowls or plates to snag what you're eating. Nose bapping doesn't work; it temporarily distracts them unless they look it coming - and then they attack your hand before you can bap the nose! Closing them in the den worked for a few days, but then they ripped my forearms to ribbons the next time I tried to enclose them while I fed the dogs. At least they leave the dogs alone while they eat. They didn't at first... I need to learn to snarl convincingly, I guess. They weren't starving when we brought them in. They were a healthy weight then, and have been growing without any health problems. They are brother and sister, siamese mixes. They're driving me crazy when food is involved, other than that they are wonderful. Any suggestions?
Voting Question: what would you rate this on a scale to 1-10?
In a village where the old never died and the young never grew, lived a tiny zombie named Beloni. Frozen in time and forever cursed to be mangled and decayed, he took refuge with his widowed mom in an abandoned hut. The two, taunted and teased by the locals, were always faced with overwhelming despair and a sense of never ending humiliation. “Why must they do that to us mom?” Beloni cried, tears running down his peeled flesh. “What have we ever done to them?” Ms. Bordeaux took her sons hand in her possess, her eyes a pool of swimming sorrow. “Beloni, we have done nothing to those people. They only prey upon us because we are less fortunate than them, and they take that as an automatic opportunity to lash at us with unkind words and shatter our souls with their lack of consideration,” Beloni ripped his hand out of his mothers. “Well I’m through. I will no longer take this! We do not deserve to be in this state of poverty and I will be the one to make sure we receive out of it,” he declared. “Beloni,” she said and pursed her lips. “You cannot even start to understand how difficult it is to find and receive money. For the past five years I have done nothing but search and scavenger, asking everybody I have passed for spare change and looking up and down the streets for golden coins, yet every day I arrive home empty handed,” she rested her hand against the shacks wooden wall and looked up into the clouded sky; their roof long since disappeared. “But mom I have I way!” he shrieked, flopping his arms in a crazed frenzy. Her gaze returned to Beloni, his scared face illuminated with glee. “Really?” she asked with surprise as he ran to the corner of the hut, the shadows engulfing him in their darkness. “Beloni what are you doing?” From within the darkness Beloni appeared, a bundle coddled within his arms. “Here,” he said and shoved the item into her arms. She looked at him with question, her thick eyebrows furrowing. “Ortega? But he is just a cat, how can he ever help us?” she stroked the dead cats bloodied mane, his single eye staring up at her with loving passion. “The butcher is in need of cat brains. They have become a rarity and I am sure he will pay us deeply for Ortega,” sorrow filled Ms. Bordeaux’s face, her matted hair lying in limp heaps across her face. “Ortega has been in our family for centuries,” She looked down at him and shook her head, his striped chest heaving with each shallow breath he took. “But I suppose if it’s the only way then it must be done, “she handed him back to Jock, his eye a light in the darkness. She waved him off with an impatient swipe of the hand. “Go my child, do what you must,” Jock hesitantly stepped away from his mom, watching the streams of water flow down her bruised cheeks. It’s only a cat. He thought morbidly and left his mom to sulk in her gloom.

The music video is partly set in Wall road (or a similar place), and some parts of the video show a TV contest in which contestants have to answer silly questions about poverty in the U.S., women's salary and every that stuff. Do you know the name of that tune/video by Rage Against The Machine?

Resolved Question: How come American socialists don't just come out and take pride in the fact they are socialists?
This is really more of a political philosophy question. What's wrong with saying, "I am a proud American socialist."? Capitalists are unapologetic for being capitalists. You never look someone on Wall road apologizing for making money. So why are socialists so apologetic every the time. There is no shame in being a socialist. It is just another economic system. People always accuse certain politicians of being socialists. But these politicians never respond to the accusations. But why don't they just arrive out and say, "You know what? I AM a socialist and I am a proud of it." Socialism may be an un-American concept because it did not originate in the United States. But it certainly isn't anti-American.
Voting Question: His brother is agianst us being together and he's stolen he ring, and threatened to kill him?
I'm 17 and I'm from Jamacia (I moved from there when I was 10 years old with my mom) and he is 13 and just moved here with his older brother and his parents from Nigeria from west africa about 10 months ago, and we've became really close every since. I'm his only pal he has, because he can't make any friends in school and always gets teased about his strong accent, but I do alot of things with him. He is very polite, and really really shy. This is our 7th month we've been together and yes his parents know about it. He just lost his virginiy to me a month ago, so we're really getting serious. We've only had sex twice, and I did wear a condom both times. His parents weren't too glad about me taking his virginity but they accepted that we are in a strong relationship and he is truly in adore with me so they allowed us to continue having sex, as long as I take care of him and promise not to hurt him. So please don't just assume I'm only with him becuase I'm using his body because that's not true at every I really care for this kid. Anyways.. Today I had went out and bought him a nice ring, and I couldn't wait to give it to him because I hadn't seen him in a week. Later on his brother had dropped him off at home after he picked him up from school and just stayed over at his home every day. His brother doesn't live with them but he lives in an apartment a mile down the road. I went over an hour later and knocked on the door and his brother came to it asking rudely what I wanted. He brother is around 19 but he acts like he's 11. I told him I just wanted to look his brother and give him something but he had me standing there for nearly 3 minutes asking me every these questions just to piss me off and annoy me for his amusant, until he finally let me in. I walked in my friends room and seen him doing his homework already looking upset. But once he had seen me walk in his eyes had lit up and he was so excited to look me he had jumped into my arms hugging me. I sat down on his bed and he sat down on my lap. I told him that since we are still at a beginning of our relationship, I wanted to keep everything fresh and I wanted to make sure he was going to stay loyal to me and serious about this and to promise me if he wanted this to continue to work out long term, that he would only belong to me. I told him I really want him to truly be mine and I didn't want to share him with anyone else. He said he promised he would keep his promise. So I pulled out the case and told him to open it. It wasn't an engagement ring or anything it was just a ring that symbols that he is in a relationship and is already taken. But just the look on his face, he was shocked and glad that I would even spend that much to receive him a ring that beautiful, hell his parents won't even spend money on him to receive him a pair of socks but yet they buy everyhing for his older brother. We started kissing, and I knew damn well I should've closed the door and locked it because his brother had walked in and we hadn't seen him until his brother had pulled him off of my lap and told me to receive the hell off of him. His brother had snached the ring off of his finger and just stuffed it in his pocket (I think he was spying on us). Then he yelled at him and started dragging him around the room by the collar of his shirt and grabbed him by his neck and started to just repeatedly bash his head into the wall. He was screaming and crying for me so I jumped up and knocked his brother across the room, he came back and swung at me so I started to toss punches back at him and we kept fighing until I busted him in the mouth. He just cussed me out and threatened me not to leave my his brother at the home by himself or he'd kill him, then he just drove off. My pal is at my home right now asleep in the living room, I can't tell my mom about his yet because she's busy and is working really tardy tonight. His mom isn't coming home until 11 and his dad is out of town so he's over here now, and If his brother came back while he was still at his possess home his brother would try to beat him worse without me being there to protect him. His brother is really against anyone doing anything homosexual so that's the reason why he ticked because he's been cussing his little brother out about how disgusing he is everysince we've been together, but today when he saw us kissing it must've made him tick worse. This kid really loves me and we haven't told his parents yet but we're planning on getting married. I'm not sure how old you have to be to receive married (I think 16) but if we could receive married now we would. But his brother still has the ring. He's stolen it and I've paid alot of money on it (With he help of my mom and my possess paycheck), and he's upset that his brother took his ring. And if I told my mom it's been stolen she'd be pissed at me because it costed us both alot.What the hell am I supposed to do to receive it back from him? I'm just fed up with this, and having him having to g I'm just fed up with this, and having him having to go through this everyday. This is literally an everyday thing, if it's not one problem it's another.

Voting Question: His brother is against us being together and he's stolen the ring and threatened to kill him?
I'm 17 and I'm from Jamacia (I moved from there when I was 10 years old with my mom) and he is 13 and just moved here with his older brother and his parents from Nigeria from west africa about 10 months ago, and we've became really close every since. I'm his only pal he has, because he can't make any friends in school and always gets teased about his strong accent, but I do alot of things with him. He is very polite, and really really shy. This is our 7th month we've been together and yes his parents know about it. He just lost his virginiy to me a month ago, so we're really getting serious. We've only had sex twice, and I did wear a condom both times. His parents weren't too glad about me taking his virginity but they accepted that we are in a strong relationship and he is truly in adore with me so they allowed us to continue having sex, as long as I take care of him and promise not to hurt him. So please don't just assume I'm only with him becuase I'm using his body because that's not true at every I really care for this kid. Anyways.. Today I had went out and bought him a nice ring, and I couldn't wait to give it to him because I hadn't seen him in a week. Later on his brother had dropped him off at home after he picked him up from school and just stayed over at his home every day. His brother doesn't live with them but he lives in an apartment a mile down the road. I went over an hour later and knocked on the door and his brother came to it asking rudely what I wanted. He brother is around 19 but he acts like he's 11. I told him I just wanted to look his brother and give him something but he had me standing there for nearly 3 minutes asking me every these questions just to piss me off and annoy me for his amusant, until he finally let me in. I walked in my friends room and seen him doing his homework already looking upset. But once he had seen me walk in his eyes had lit up and he was so excited to look me he had jumped into my arms hugging me. I sat down on his bed and he sat down on my lap. I told him that since we are still at a beginning of our relationship, I wanted to keep everything fresh and I wanted to make sure he was going to stay loyal to me and serious about this and to promise me if he wanted this to continue to work out long term, that he would only belong to me. I told him I really want him to truly be mine and I didn't want to share him with anyone else. He said he promised he would keep his promise. So I pulled out the case and told him to open it. It wasn't an engagement ring or anything it was just a ring that symbols that he is in a relationship and is already taken. But just the look on his face, he was shocked and glad that I would even spend that much to receive him a ring that beautiful, hell his parents won't even spend money on him to receive him a pair of socks but yet they buy everyhing for his older brother. We started kissing, and I knew damn well I should've closed the door and locked it because his brother had walked in and we hadn't seen him until his brother had pulled him off of my lap and told me to receive the hell off of him. His brother had snached the ring off of his finger and just stuffed it in his pocket (I think he was spying on us). Then he yelled at him and started dragging him around the room by the collar of his shirt and grabbed him by his neck and started to just repeatedly bash his head into the wall. He was screaming and crying for me so I jumped up and knocked his brother across the room, he came back and swung at me so I started to toss punches back at him and we kept fighing until I busted him in the mouth. He just cussed me out and threatened me not to leave my his brother at the home by himself or he'd kill him, then he just drove off. My pal is at my home right now asleep in the living room, I can't tell my mom about his yet because she's busy and is working really tardy tonight. His mom isn't coming home until 11 and his dad is out of town so he's over here now, and If his brother came back while he was still at his possess home his brother would try to beat him worse without me being there to protect him. His brother is really against anyone doing anything homosexual so that's the reason why he ticked because he's been cussing his little brother out about how disgusing he is everysince we've been together, but today when he saw us kissing it must've made him tick worse. This kid really loves me and we haven't told his parents yet but we're planning on getting married. I'm not sure how old you have to be to receive married (I think 16) but if we could receive married now we would. But his brother still has the ring. He's stolen it and I've paid alot of money on it (With he help of my mom and my possess paycheck), and he's upset that his brother took his ring. And if I told my mom it's been stolen she'd be pissed at me because it costed us both alot.What the hell am I supposed to do to receive it back from him?

Resolved Question: LGBT: Does money even mean anything anymore? Your thoughts?
I'm asking this in LGBT because I'd like to hear from my LGBT brothers and siters and friends. It used to be thought of (crudely) as "a way of keeping score". But today I heard that Wall road bankers got bonuses of $20 BILLION in 2009. That was money they made from OUR tax dollars!! Without our taxpayer money to keep their banks alive, they would be unemployed. http://www.sltrib.com/business/ci_14456516 To me, their receipt of bonuses off our dollars is extremely unethical! So does money even matter anymore? My question: If you met a Wall road banker, would you be impressed by every of his/her money and bonuses .... or what would your thoughts be? Your thoughts, please. Thanks!!
Voting Question: Why does obama always need a scapegoat to blame. Is he just stupid or evil?
It's always someone fault for him: Bush, insurance companies, corporations wall road. He is an absolute disaster and now going after the banks shows his latest act of desperation. we can't "afford" this guy. Jan. 22 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. investors overwhelmingly look President Barack Obama as anti-business and question his ability to manage a financial crisis, according to a Bloomberg survey. The global quarterly poll of investors and analysts who are Bloomberg subscribers finds that 77 percent of U.S. respondents believe Obama is too anti-business and four-out-of-five are only somewhat confident or not confident of his ability to handle a financial emergency. The poll also finds a decline in Obama’s overall favorability rating one year after taking office. He is viewed favorably by 27 percent of U.S. investors. In an October poll, 32 percent in the U.S. held a positive impression.
Resolved Question: Did u c this, "Is Government Too Big to Succeed" by Ron Paul?
" Last week, the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission kicked off their first round of hearings on the causes of the economic meltdown on Wall road. The commission is being compared to the the Pecora Commission launched in 1932 to investigate the causes of the Great Depression. The Pecora commission is beloved by those who believe the solution to every problem is more laws because it was used to justify a number of new laws, including Glass-Steagall. Of course, none of those laws addressed the real causes of the Great Depression. It was the introduction of unsound monetary policy and central economic planning pursued by the Federal Reserve that really threw everything off balance. The Fed was founded in 1913 to stabilize the economy and prevent a recurrence of the short-lived Panic of 1907, but instead it promptly produced the Great Depression which lasted more than 15 years. The Pecora Commission was stacked with big government sympathizers who blamed the free market and the gold standard without question, and without any consideration of government interference in the economy. This panel is no different. Never will they contemplate how government steered us into this crisis, and what perverse incentives can be removed or repealed so that the market will function more smoothly. Never will they discuss how investment should arrive from savings, not debt. Never will it occur to them that fiat money, artificially low interest rates and the whole Federal Reserve System might be unwise and unstable, not to mention unconstitutional. The answer will always be more government regulation and oversight. It is predictable that this government panel will eventually arrive to the firm conclusion that government needs to be bigger, and that the market is just too free. How unhappy is this when exactly the opposite is true? It is big government that gives out tax breaks to engineer behavior, often creating big pockets of malinvestments. It is government that created the FDIC and the Fed as lender of last resort which every encourages moral hazard. It is big government that gives bureaucrats the ability to bail out cronies with taxpayer dollars while screaming that the economic sky is falling if they don’t. It is big government that every year adds new layers to the already labyrinthine regulatory code that smaller businesses can’t keep up with while simultaneously preventing new businesses from emerging. It is big government that misdirects economic productivity into bankrupt businesses that they consider to be too big to fail. If this panel was serious about understanding the root of the problem, as they claim to be, they would have people testify who understand the crisis and saw it coming. To my knowledge, none of them have received a phone call. The problem is those people would say too many things the government panel would find inconvenient. They would point fingers at too many of the state’s anointed. They would recommend getting government out of the way of the free market and getting back to simply protecting contracts and punishing fraud. But the biggest fraud is perpetrated by the Federal Reserve. No one on this panel takes that viewpoint seriously. Instead, they will be asking people who are still scratching their heads at how they could have missed the housing bubble what new regulations they can put in place to prevent future bubbles. Thus, I don’t expect much real wisdom to arrive out of this current investigation. What do you think? Does ignoring root causes mean this 'search for solutions' is doomed to only create a new round of problems?
Resolved Question: Will the democrats and republicans stop fighting and get along and work for the american people?
Mr. Obama came to this Cleveland suburb for the second cease on his White home to Main road Tour to spread the word that his administration is about jobs, jobs, jobs. With his approval rating down to about 50 percent, a bruising season of midterm elections ahead and Democrats reeling from the resounding note of disapproval in Massachusetts, the ordinarily chilly and cerebral Mr. Obama sounded unusually defiant, even fiery, at a town hall-style question and answer session at Lorain County Community College here. The president used the word “battle,” or some version of it, more than 20 times. Mr. Obama vowed to “never cease fighting for policies that will help restore home values.” He promised that he was “not going to cease fighting to give our kids the best education possible.” He pledged he would not “cease fighting to give every American a fair shake,” to continue fighting for a new Consumer Protection Agency and for openness in government. And of course, Mr. Obama pledged to battle for jobs. “So long as I have some breath in me, so long as I have the privilege of serving as your president, I will not cease fighting for you,” Mr. Obama said. “I will take my lumps. But I won’t cease fighting to bring back jobs here.” The president’s appearance here comes one day after he picked an especially big battle, with Wall road, by calling for new limits on banks that would prevent them from becoming too big to fail. He sounded as if he would relish it. “It’s going to be a battle,” the president said, warming up to the crowd. “You watch. I guarantee you, when we start on financial regulatory reform, trying to change the rules to prevent what has caused so much heartache every across the country, there are people who are going to say, ‘Why is he meddling in government’ or ‘Why is he meddling in the financial industry? It’s another example of Obama being big government.’ No, I just want to have some rules in place so that when these guys make dumb decisions, you don’t end up having to foot the bill. That’s pretty straightforward. I don’t mind having a battle.” Mr. Obama’s bellicose rhetoric carried echoes of his tone in the 2008 campaign. He is now trying to strike a more populist tone to tap into anger many Americans feel about bailouts on Wall road while Main road is suffering. At the same time, the White home is trying to frame the midterm elections on terms favorable to Mr. Obama, by casting him as someone who will stand with the little guy, even if those fighting words contrast with his image as a politician who cares about bringing people together. “There will be a fulsome debate about who is fighting for Main road and who is siding with the special interests,” said Dan Pfeiffer, Mr. Obama’s communications director, adding, “There is nothing inconsistent between trying to bring people together to solve problems and standing up to the insurers and the lobbyists.” Mr. Obama’s shift in tone actually began last week, before Tuesday’s bruising loss in Massachusetts, when the president appeared before the home Democrats and warned that if Republicans want to “stand up for the status quo” and block his health care bill, “that is a battle I want to have.” He used a version of that language at the White home on Thursday in announcing his plan for restrictions on banks. While here, Mr. Obama made a plea for the health care bill, which is in disarray now that Scott Brown, the Republican, has been elected senator in Massachusetts, depriving Democrats of the 60th vote they need to pass a sweeping overhaul. Conceding that the plan had “hit a little bit of a buzz saw this week,” Mr. Obama acknowledged that the process “has been less than pretty” and that the measure was so big and unwieldy it looked like “a monstrosity,” creating fear and anxiety among ordinary Americans. But he made the case that passing the measure was an imperative. “This is our best chance to do it,” the president said. “We can’t keep on putting this off.” Mr. Obama rode to office on the strength of his chilly temperament, but in recent weeks, even some Democrats have questioned whether he appears too distant from voters. Earlier this week, in an interview with ABC, the president acknowledged that many Americans have a sense of “remoteness and detachment” from policy makers in Washington. On Friday, Mr. Obama alluded to it again, saying it was “pretty easy to receive a warped view of things” in Washington. With every the problems he faces in the capital, he sounded especially glad to be let loose for a few hours. “It’s just nice being out of Washington,” he said, adding, “I mean there are some nice people in Washington, but it can steer you crazy.” Perhaps when the republicans move away from the evangelical christian right and are willing to seperate church from state issues then there may be some peace.

Resolved Question: Business Stat question?
The Wall road Journal reported some interesting statistics on the job market. One statistic is that 40% of every workers say they would change jobs for “slightly higher pay.” In addition, 88% of companies say that there is a shortage of qualified job candidates. Suppose 16 workers are randomly selected and asked if they would change jobs for “slightly higher pay. What is the probability that nine or more say yes? What is the probability that three, four, five, or six say yes? If 13 companies are contacted, what is the probability that exactly 10 say there is a shortage of qualified job candidates? What is the probability that every of the companies say there is a shortage of qualified job candidates? What is the expected number of companies that would say there is a shortage of qualified job candidates? Round your answer to 3 decimal places. The tolerance is +/- 0.005 This is a hw problem, so if you're uncomfortable giving me the answer, if you could simply give me directions ( i know it's a binomial distribution problem) but i don't know how to handle the 'or more' part of in first question.

Resolved Question: Doesn't this piece by the Far Left Huffington Post sum up how damaging Coakley's is and will be to the Dems?
The impact of Brown's election is even more far-reaching than health care. Now that Republicans are in control of 41 Senate seats, they can block the passage of any substantive Democratic legislation with a unified filibuster. With President Obama now looking increasingly weak and Democratic poll numbers falling, big party losses in November look virtually certain. Politically, Republicans thus have no reason to help Obama claim any legislative victories. In 2009 with 40 votes in the Senate they did this to good effect, and now with enough Members to stave off a cloture motion, there is little question they will continue holding up significant legislation, likely making every the items on the Democratic wish list - cap-and-trade, a jobs bill, robust Wall road regulation, immigration or bankruptcy reform - dead on arrival. And this to say nothing of the impending retirement threat: with Coakley's defeat, numerous Democrats will head for the retirement exits, telling themselves that if Democrats cannot hold Ted Kennedy's seat in the bluest of the blue states, there is little point in staying for and enduring an electoral bloodbath in November. You can relax assured that Pelosi, Democratic Congressional Campaign chairman Chris Van Hollen and powerful New York Sen. Chuck Schumer are now burning the phones to assuage their terrified colleagues and blame the loss solely on Coakley. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-greenbaum/coakley-loses-heres-what_b_428766.html
Resolved Question: How do you like being a CFA?
Thinking about obtaining the CFA charter and was wondering if anybody on here got there's. I'm a devout follower of Ben Graham, Warren Buffet, Peter Lynch, and the like. I've been studying investing and finance privately for about two years now. I think I have a talent at it because my equities portfolio grew 34% ytd, but my question is are there firms out there that will allow me to manage a portfolio the way Buffet does (long term) or would I be required to receive in and receive out of positions (trade)? I know Wall road is very now now now and more about short term gains, so would this be a problem? Also some information on your daily activities, the upsides and downsides of being a CFA, and the test itself would be helpful... Thanks! John

Resolved Question: Why is Fox News sensationalizing already-sensational news?
I just noticed this about the story of the IRS terrorist. Of every the online news devoted to this story, only Fox took the liberty of publicly flogging the guy's ego - even the Wall road Journal seems fairly objective (though emphasizing on the headline he was a "tax protester"). So my question is, what is the purpose of morally denouncing someone who is obviously in the wrong, and incidentally dead? Do we need to be told there is "no excuse" to make us avoid following in his footsteps? These are story intros from various sites: "AUSTIN, Texas – A software engineer furious with the Internal Revenue Service launched a suicide attack on the agency Thursday by crashing his tiny plane into an office building containing nearly 200 IRS employees, setting off a raging flame that sent workers running for their lives." - Yahoo "Joe Stack was upset with the Internal Revenue Service, officials say; at least two people are hospitalized in deliberate air attack. " - msnbc "A portrait is beginning to emerge of Joseph Stack, the man officials believe set his home on flame and then intentionally crashed a plane into a building with an IRS office." - CNN "['COWARDLY,CRIMINAL'] Police say 'there was no excuse' for disturbed pilot flying single-engine plane into Texas office building that houses IRS employees." -Fox News "The pilot of a tiny plane that slammed into a building in Austin apparently posted an anti-government manifesto and may have targeted the offices of the IRS after a tax dispute." - Wall road Journal President Teleprompter - that's a good point. Now relating it to my question, which seems to have not been asked correctly, it would suggest that Fox has been partly editorial due to the inability both of them and their readers to perceive its opinionated quality, in other words the language is utilized to an entirely different art than liberals, independents and such are used to practicing, so we look things that are unintentional. Is that your point? Also the only other answer I look is that they're doing it for the ratings, but that's why I emphasized that it's inherently sensational news, so why do they need to "embellish" on it to receive ratings?
Resolved Question: Is it really so far fetched that NASCAR would engineer a top finish for Dale Jr?
Wall road bankers manipulate the stock market for profit, they engage in insider trading and put out misinformation for market profit. Oil Price Speculators, lift the price of oil when a person in Africa sneezes, again manipulation for profit. Commodity traders create phony shortages and fudge numbers to increase the price of certain goods and services, once again manipulation for profit! NASCAR is a business that is designed to run on and make a "profit." So why then is it so "far fetched" for you people to understand that NASCAR would "manipulate" its biggest commodity for "profit." That commodity is of of course Earnhardt Jr. Every number in NASCAR went up as a result of his finish. The only question really that needs to be asked is: Why wouldn't NASCAR manipulate the races for Dale Jr? Because the DON'T want to make a PROFIT?

Resolved Question: Please help me with my situation, tell me what my "symptoms" mean?
I realise this is long, but it would mean a lot to me if you could take the time to help me. Also, please dont comment saying that I 'should seek religion' or that 'I'm just crazy'. I think logically, but I feel as though I almost have a 'second brain' not so much a second personality, but a place a drift off to often. I had an extended period of time about a year and a half ago now, when I was constantly seeing things and hearing voices and talking to myself without realising it. During this time I went to the doctor (below my mothers orders) and he told me I may have borderline schizophrenia (I'm aware that is not its correct term/name), so he forwarded me to a psychologist. I hated the psychologist, as I thought she was trying to receive inside my head and change me, I didn't talk to her much and it was obvious I didn't want to be there. Since then I've gotten better, I think that period was from a lot of stress I was below at the time, nowadays I'm alright. Though I have (what I would call) close severe paranoia (looking over my shoulder every few minutes, being wary of people on the road, constantly planning for the worse, not wanting to sit down from fear of being vulnerable if somebody attacked me, constantly have a feeling of being watched, suspecting everyone of plotting against me or wanting to hurt me, always expecting to be killed at any second, ect) I'm also incredibly jumpy, one little sound or unexpected movement can make me jump out of my skin. I wouldn't say I have OCD, but I do have a routine I MUST abide by every night before I go to bed, which is: 1) Walk to light switch on the wall 2) Bend over and look below my bed 3) Turn light off 4) Walk over to bed and receive in 5) Using my phone or iPod light, look below my bed again And then, and only then can I go to snooze. I'm also really conscious of germs, and feel dirty if I touch heaps of things in public. I also odor things a lot, including things I'm about to eat and even the dishes I'm about to eat off. I constantly have thoughts of killing people, and strong impulses of hurting strangers in public. And I have to mention I do look apparitions of people or things, usually dead things. But it's not as frequent as it used to be (during that period of time mentioned earlier). But I just put this down to ghosts, as now it only happens in my home (whereas it use to happen everywhere), and my mom has experienced it too. But the thing is, I'm aware of it every. I think logically and think a lot, my mind is always racing. I often feel like I'm on the edge, almost toppling over the edge, of insanity. I often enter "another reality" and receive lost in my thoughts and imagination. What I'm really concerned about, is that I actually want to lose myself. In that, when I'm in this state of unbalance, I feel really glad and good, and wish I could stay there forever. But, if I'm aware of this, then does that mean there's nothing wrong with me? I realise my question is not very detailed and a bit confusing and I've probably left out a lot, but I would appreciate your opinions if you could make any sense out of my situation. Thanks!
Resolved Question: Did you read The Tragedy of Julius Caesar? Are you good at conclusion paragraphs? Then open this question!?
Can you write a conclusion paragraph for me, por favor? =] Thanks! It is said that history continuously repeats itself. History verifies that in eras of dolor, qualm, and consternation, such as the Great Depression or the Civil War of Rome in the years 49-45 BC, the people hunger for safety and government stability. In such occasions, people are susceptible to demagogy. Act 1 of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare opens just as Caesar defeats the sole consul, Pompey, and wins the title of Dictator for life. Considering how the citizens, or the Roman mob, react to this achievement proves that they are not capable or worthy of living in a republic because of their fickleness, vulnerability to leaders, and their decisions. In Scene 1, two tribunes by the names of Flavius and Marullus scold the common people for rejoicing in Caesar’s victory. Marullus spoke, “…knew you not Pompey? Many a time and oft have you climbed up to walls and battlements, to tow’rs and windows, yea, to chimney tops, your infants in your arms, and there have sat the livelong day, with patient expectation, to look great Pompey pass the streets of Rome. And when you saw his chariot but appear, have you not made an universal yell. … And do you now strew flowers in his way that comes in triumph over Pompey’s blood?…” (824). In this passage, Marullus describes the crowd’s loyalties as fickle, or easily swayed, given that they used to celebrate in the presence of Pompey rather than Caesar. Indecisive people are not useful candidates to a republic because they are most likely to change their minds about an election. In a republic, since the government is based on the votes of the majority of the population, the people select its country’s heads of state. In Scene 1, Flavius ask the commoners why they are crowding about the streets and to which a cobbler answers, “…But indeed, sir, we make holiday to look Caesar and to rejoice in his triumph” (823). By changing their minds about Pompey and now waiting to praise Caesar, they show that they are vulnerable to leaders. Being susceptible to demagogy, or a body of officers, is another reason why the Roman mob is not qualified to reside in a republic because they would elect by popularity and not by knowledge of politics. A monarch is a ruler, usually a king, queen, or emperor, that holds absolute power over a state or nation. In the second scene of Act 1, a conspirator against Julius Caesar by the name of Casca reports, “Why, there was a crown offered him; and being offered him, he put it by with the back of his hand, thus; and then the people fell a-shouting” (831). For the reason that the general public wanted to crown Caesar as king demonstrates that they do not belong in a republic because a republic is not a monarch. (Conclusion paragraph goes here...)
Resolved Question: Ruins of the Temple underneath the Temple Mount?
Here's a little archaeology/religious history question.. Why would the ruins of any Temple be underneath the Temple Mount? Now I understand with time, soil and debris cover "some" places, but thats only in terrains where earth is naturally building up. They found that Byzantine road in Jerusalem underground but the Temple Mount is a mountain, it must have always been a hill. Wouldnt the ruins of any temple been cleared for a church, then mosque? look at the western wall! thats not covered by soil. And if that was truly the wall then the temple would have been over it. Jim E: how am I trying to disprove Judaism? I personally believe there was a Temple on the Mount. I just dont believe the ruins would be underneath it. What did the Romans do when they destroyed the Temple? "Hmm.. we built our temple to Jupiter, lets push every this Jewish temple stuff below the hill." Dan Dan: Herodotus lived from 484 BC to 425 BC. The first temple was destroyed 586 BC. It is believed that the second temple was rebuilt 516 BC, but there is a chance the Jews were in captivity by the Babylonians when Herodotus visited.
Resolved Question: Need a name for an important setting in my novel please help?
i've posted the same question twice and i still haven't gotten the 'right' answer. Plz try and think of as many names as you can! My setting is a bar/club on the corner of a busy road, very popular and owned by a girl whose last name is LaBryant (can't tell first name or it will be stolen). the bar was once run down but LaBryant brought it back to standards with brightly colored walls, new lighting, etc. the name is well known and has to be catchy/ironic, because the bar acts as a safehouse to a gang of thieves that are constantly looking for a place to stay out of trouble, a place where they won't be found. it's a big part of the story, and i really need a creative name. the novel is more of a sci-fi, set in the future (but no flying cars or anything, the city is a lot more high tech but still run down and dirty like cities today) maybe this will help? sorry for asking this again, but it's important to me, thank you so much in advance!
Voting Question: I just had a huge anxiety attack..?
So before I ask my question, I should probably give some info; My dads an abusive druggy alcoholic in "recover" (so he say's...). I had to stay with him this weekend, but at like 1 a.m on Friday he came home after 2 hours of "going to the store" tripping and falling, slurring and just being drunk. My guess is that he walked to the resturant up the road to drink since he has a breathalizer thing in his car because he got a DUI a couple months ago. Anyway, so I texted my mom what was going on and she jumped in the car to arrive pick me up. When I got in the living room where he was, he was sitting in the dark on the sofa staring at the walls. I just had my bags, jogged to the door and left. He's a violent drunk so I didn't want to start conflict. So when we got home, we locked every the doors and turned on the alarm and my mom went to bed without talking to me about it. I haven't cried in a couple years, what I do when I feel myself about to is clear my mind from everything. Then the lump in my throat disappears, but a sharp, aching pain occurs in my chest and stomach. So today I guess I nice of got to my maximum compacity of stress and had a huge anxiety attack (I take zoloft for depression and anxiety, and go to therapy but nothing seems to work). This has happened like 8 times this school year (I don't want to use this as an excuse, but ALOT has been going on like restraining orders, we have to take off in the middle of the night to run away from my dad, ext.) and I've missed about 16 days this year, half because of the flu though. My mom doesn't take into account how broken and stressed I am, she just gets irritated that I miss so much school. I try to tell her what it feels like, but idk... Anywho, my main question is how do I cope with this? and how do I receive my mom to understand? Also, I still have a REALLY bad ache in my stomach, how do I receive rid of it. Thank you /: What do you mean call the police..?
