What kinds of jobs can one look into if they only had Tempt work at the Post Office & Art Museum Volunteer? The reason I'm asking is because I am one who has been in college and I took temporary work while I was in school quarter of the time. I did it my last semester of school. I work at the Post Office as a Postal Clerk. I started as a tempt worker. I only lasted for eight months and than I reapplied a year later and I worked for four months. I did not have a job from that year which was 2001 until 2004. I was in school full-time to consentrate on working on my two year degree. I now have my AA degree. I know I have a spotted work history because school and lack of experience. I also went to a four year University for my major in Studio Art. I did not work at all because of it. I had been enroll in school full-time or quarter of the time. I attende it for two more years and when I left it the spring of 2007 I was asked for a job at a Nursery Center and I took it. It only lasted for a few days and I was released. They want someone with a bachelor's degree in child care. I was asked by a godparent (relative) who owned the Nursery. I have been checking for jobs off and on. I have been applying for job on the jobsites such as Snaga Job, Job.com or Indeed.com. I have also put in for applications at department stores and a Art Supply Store like Michael's Arts and Crafts. This past year I volunteered at a Art Museum as a Office Aid labeling envolopes and helping with an Art project. I lasted for two days. I had to called check back with them to find out if they needed me for it or to keep going my last visit but I got "No Word" from the Volunteer manager. It been a year and I have been putting in for jobs online and at the Michael's Arts and Crafts store. I have submitted a resume to a few jobs I found on the Job.com and a Employment Agency my aunt told me about called "Reichard Staffing". She told me about a position as a Control Clerk. I had a resume submitted to them on the site. I have called their number to check to see if they recieve it. When I got the call back from them a lady told me that recieved it and said that the position applied for was not a good fit for me. I just recently I applied to the Art Museum again. I look them up online on their website and found that they are hiring for two positions They were curator and a part-time position as Visitor Service Associate. I applied for Visitor Service Associate. When I called them to ask if they were hiring a lady said that they are in the process of interviewing people. I asked her if they were accepting resumes . She then told me that I could have my application and resume mailed to them. I have done it. It has been two days and "No word" on anything! I guess I would have check back with them on my status on whether they have recieve my application and reesume or not. I have trying to thing of other places to apply but there nothing near by me that are hiring Sometimes I feel kind of sad that I can not seem to find or get a job that I truly like or am interested in now. All the job that may be hiring are only require experience. I have called stores like Family Dollar, Walmart or Sam CLub to find out if they are hiring and accepting application and the answer was we accepting applications but are not hiring. If there were it would be for one position which was Assistant Manager. I have registered and sign up for three Temporary Employment Agencies one I did in person called "Goodwill Job Junction and two more I had to do online. Those were Kelly Services and Randstad Staffing. I got a call from someone at Goodwill Job Junction about how I'm coming with my job search and I would tell I only had one job interview at a job I submitted my resume to online. It was called American Income of North Florida. I never heard back from about anything else about a job. I also applied to Micheal's Distribution Center for job for Material Handler. When I called them about a lady asked if I can make appointment with them for a Open House tour at 9:00 am on a Tuesday or Thursday. I tried to go on a Thursday at 9:00 am. My grandparents had to take me because I do not have my own transportation. We tried to find the place but we had trouble finding it. My grandmother had to called them find out were the Distribution Center was located. We did Not get there in time. IT was a long ways out from where I lived. It was almost like going out of town. I also had to reschedule the appointment. During that morning, my grandmother called my house and told my mom that a lady mention that people may work out of town. My mother told me not to worry about going or forget about it. I not sure what other jobs that are near by where I live that are hiring that I like to apply to. I would not want Nursery or Fast food. I would like something a little different from my past work. I work at Post Office they only hire people when they need them. I like to do a little office aid or gallery assistant I would like to add and respond to this first answer! Yes, I can be quite wordy at times. I have a habit of going into details! Sometimes I have a time expressing how I feel in writing because I allow my feelings to get in the way. I have a time expressing my thoughts on paper or even typing it on the computer to someone.

How do you network when you have no friends or anyone and how do you cold call? I read an answer to a "most effective job search strategies?" question here in yahoo answers and one person's response said the most type should be spent in Networking and Cold calling companies. Ok, but what if you're a shy, no friends, no references, non-existent type of guy? And two, how do you call companies and ask for employment.. or how do you go to companies in person and ask for employment? all i've done so far is internet ( monster.com, indeed.com, etc) searches andi'm failing badly at that cause most jobs there need experience. 3 months already and i don't find a job, i'm feeling like a piece of you know what.
I'm a college grad, I want to move to NJ, I want a job there... what do I do? ok, I live in Queens, NY, finished college last year in Manhattan, major in environmental studies and work part time making $15/hr. I am 24 and single. But I hate living here, hate my job, hate the crowd, hate the insane costs etc etc. The job search for the job I want, lab tech at a environmental/chemical/scientific company, has been awful in NYC, either my resume is ignored or no ads at all and now the last interview I followed up and they have hiring freeze! I even tried other job ads but no one calls back, etc. Nothing's wrong with my resume or interview skills. I search on indeed.com and see several lab jobs in Jersey and even Philadelphia, and it seems like they are desperate for people with science background... I was thinking that the metro area, places near the PATH are good places to live but how do I go about this?? How do I get the job first? What do I put on my resume & cover letter? Just thinking about this is scary, I've never moved before... I don't have a car, or a license (yet) but I wanna get out of NYC!! I live with my parents and they don't wanna leave NYC so I'll most likely be on my own. I'm NOT going to grad school in NYC either, haven't decided what to study or where I'll go. Ideally, I'd like to get the job first then rent a cheap apartment. I do not care for waterfront views or indoor gyms, a very basic apt in a good area is fine with me. And what about roommates?? Please help! thank you
Does it bother you that we are all so wide open? Did you know that anytime you visit websites e.g. Facebook, your (1) location, (2) browser, (3) system, are all being recorded? You may think that you can create a dubious email account or account to some other websites and list a location other than the one you are in but the sites have away of tracking you down to the very city and state that you are living in. Try searching for a job on indeed.com they will have your city and state already listed for you. Set up an Netflix account and they will "verify" your home address using information from the USPS/Gov, rather or not you have given them that particular address or not. I don't like this at all do you? If you are a kid you probably don't care if you are an adult how do you fell about this? This question is not about being fearful it is about having no privacy no "anonymity" so to to speak from basic internet companies, advertisers, and even the government. I understand we can't be anonymous with in the government but we should have some privacy.
i think search engines are a hoax to find jobs...they say they help but NO THEY DONT? I don't get it you have all these search engines to help find companies that are hiring and you submit your resume and it goes where? to some freakin magical land with everyone elses resumes NEVER to be looked at and never to be contacted by anyone/or company. Why can't stupid freakin companies not go through stupid search engines - especially Indeed.com i HATE that one with a passion. Thats why its so hard to find a f***** job because you send your resume through these stupid things and it's like a waste of time because no company is ever going to see it.
JOB SEARCH QUESTIONS ABOUT COLORADO? Last November, I moved from NYC to Denver, Colorado. The reason for the move was to partner up with what I had been lead to believe, was a very well respected, motivated, and tenured lobbyist. After two trips, a few phone calls to people who I knew in Colorado to check on this guy, and checking the Colorado Secretary of State's website to validate his claims, I made the move. In NY, I was with the State government and worked as Counsel as well as sat on specific review boards for certain areas. Unfortunately, when I moved to state, I learned that not only was he unwilling to remove his former partner's name from the firm, but had 0 clients and 0 motivation to get new clients. In the end, I managed to land one and get two interviews with two potentials. He tanked one of the interviews and essentially tried to steal the other client. After going our seperate ways, I began to apply for any and all positions that matched my qualifications, such as landman, government affairs, public policy, legal editor, associate counsel, contract specialist, and about 10 to 15 other titled in respectve fields that I qualify for. I've been hitting the pavement, applying online through Career Builder, Indeed.com, Avuecentral, Craigslist, and a few others but to no avail. The interviews that I did manage to land never transpired into anything more, most of the times, I never even received notification about being rejected, even after a followup call or email. I've been trying average 5-10 positions per day that I am applying for and am trying to network but am getting nowhere. The temp agencies won't help because they just don't have anything matching my qualifications and the legal agencies wont touch me because I am not licensed to practice in Colorado yet and because my experience is in government affairs which they normally do not place. I've also tried the bar associations and the court systems. Applied for a few positions but have not heard anything. Moreover, the people who do offer to provide assistance usually wind up disappearing without word or sometimes admit that they spoke before they thought. It is absolutely frustrating to deal with so many flakes and jerkoffs out here but I refuse to give up. I have between 8-10 years work experience and a B.A. in Political Science, and a J.D. / admission to the New York State Bar. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to better my chances at getting hired or perhaps know anyone in Colorado that I may speak with?
Job Sites Are Worthless. Who You Know > Education + Experience + Merit? Disclaimer: I know this is long, but it is EXTREMELY important for any job seeker or person who knows a job seeker. First, a bit about myself. I got my B.S. in Biochemistry at Purdue and my master's in chemistry at Penn State. I am published in the Journal of Biochemistry. I spent the last 6 months job searching like almost every other graduate I know. Like so many others, I know the desperation of applying to jobs that pay $16/hour because even with my education, I felt that was all I was worth on the current market. I spent hours upon hours at JobFox, CareerBuilder, Indeed.com, etc... I know what it is to apply to hundreds of jobs online and get no response from anyone. I have gone to job fairs at Purdue and Illinois. I gave my sh-peal and they gave theirs, but at the end of the day it all boiled down to "you should apply to our positions online". When asked, they all insisted that any job openings they have would be posted online. Then one day my father told me about a man he met on a ski club trip of his. This man, Dennis Coleman, is a good friend of his through these trips and just happens to be the founder and big-wig at a company in Champaign Illinois (home of the fighting illini) called "Isotech". Even though there were no job openings listed on their site, I sent him an e-mail stating who my father is, what my objective is, my skills and what I have to offer, etc... The very next day I get an e-mail asking me to come in for an interview. Three business days after that interview, I got a job offer as a chemist for $41,000/year and full benefits that will kick in after ~6months. I never filled out an application form at all. When I toured their lab I noticed that virtually all of the fellow scientists in the lab were attractive, young women :). The job was also very exciting from a scientific point of view, so it is definitely something I would enjoy. I secured an absolutely beautiful 2 bedroom apartment all to myself, less than 2 miles from where I work and even closer to all the major shopping areas in Champaign. All in all, I feel like I should be happy but the truth is... I feel like I have suffered a blow to my pride. Up until now, I have gotten everywhere by my own merit; but when it came to getting a job, I could not get one myself. "Daddy got me a job" seems more truthful. A few of the people I interviewed with stated they were going to post the job opening online, even though they decided to hire me, in order to comply with some fairness law or whatever. They explained that most companies will not hire someone anymore unless they know someone in the company that will vouch for them, because if they hire them and have to fire them they would be stuck paying unemployment. This is when it occurred to me that many of the job postings online are fake. I even remember seeing ones where the date it was posted was months AFTER the proposed start date. I know graduates who are unemployed for years at a time or decided to work as bank tellers or restaurant cooks for $10/hour. Hard to believe this chance meeting between my dad and this guy on a ski trip makes such a big difference in life. Bottom line, it seems like you have to just happen to know the right people or you are not going to get hired, regardless of your merit. I would love to believe otherwise, because I feel very disillusioned that the world can be like this. Therefore, I am asking people on this forum if they have good jobs and if so... how did YOU obtain work? Cry Baby Obama - Although I agree with your political sentiments, I must strongly disagree with the advice you give as it seems to fly in the face of what I am hearing from companies. Perhaps if you had a counterexample (i.e. - someone who got a great job via CareerBuilder.com or something), but your reply was both irrelevant and unconvincing. Please forgo the spam, I expect more out of a top contributor.
Will I run into any legal issues if I start this job website? Hi! I have an idea for starting a niche website where I essentially search for positions in this certain specialty/area and put them all on one site, with links to their original post. I am an Executive Recruiter, and there is not a site to date with this specialty that is even close to being well organized and professional. I will also have blogs pertaining to this certain niche in the job market, etc... My question is: is it legal to re-post job ads and post a link on a site without getting permission for the author or original site? I am guessing it is, since sites like indeed and simplyhired do it on a very broad scale (although they are really more like job search engines...) Please help if you can, and let me know if any legal issues I amy face by posting other people's job openings on a site that they will not be related to in any way.... Sorry if this is confusing!:) Thanks Again for the help! nicky- exactly, I would be giving them credit and actually directing more trafic to their sites....which I would think most sites would appreciate, I just want to make sure there are no coppywriting issues with the idea. Thanks:)

What would you rate my life on scale of 1-10? I'm 32; my boss is half a decade younger than me. Today, he scrutinized my car cleaning work while I stood in the rain, thoroughly examining the Nissan I'd just finished. I clean cars 60 hours per week because after earning a terminal degree, it's the best I could do after six months of job-searching. I'm going into repayment in a few days on massive student loan debt and just learned that my $10 per hour job means I can't qualify for deferment; I earn too much. Not long ago, I learned that my alma mater's English department, staffed by people I care for a great deal, people whose love and respect I chased with every fiber of my being, hired a young woman to teach creative writing; she filled a vacancy I didn't even know existed despite being in frequent contact with faculty. The young woman was a classmate of mine--one who does not have my bona fides, publishing credits, or credentials. I've never had a girlfriend or been in love. I went on my first date at 29 after losing 117 pounds I have mostly gained back. The two years of my life I was not morbidly obese, I went on more than 70 first-dates, most of them one-offs. Very few of those dates inspired anything that would be called longing--I'd say five or six inspired as much as daydreams or fantasies, and I was ultimately rejected by those few women I had any feeling for, sometimes because of sexual ineptitude or aesthetics. I've spent my last three birthdays alone, not by choice--indeed, last time, I all but begged a beautiful female acquaintance to take me out and get me drunk, which she agreed to do weeks in advance...before she canceled the morning of my birthday. I've never really had a friend. I don't really have a relationship with any of my siblings anymore (two of them are many states away). My parents are rapidly aging. The prospect of being entirely alone looms. I haven't even tried to go on a date in half a year, but I endure rejection daily in the form of notes from employers and publishers. I'm typing this as I lay a few paces from my father's bed; my folks and I share a tiny dwelling. Outside of my time in College when I was fulfilled if not happy, I've thought about suicide on nearly a daily basis. I still think about it a lot, but for the first time in my life I know for sure, with no doubt, that it’s beyond me, and that entertaining the idea I’ll take my life is just my way of indulging in the fantasy of control. It is an exercise in false agency and self-pity I can no longer countenance or take comfort from, and that brings a peculiar sadness. It’s as if I’ve forgotten how to mourn my stillborn youth. In light of my abilities, my circumstance is so clearly monolithic, immovable, plane as day. I’m stuck here, watching people do and be all the things I wish I could with all the people I wish I could do and be. I will struggle mightily through the cobwebs of obscurity and loneliness, wade through tepid boredom, suffer drubbing tedium, excruciating routine, and the stunningly ironic sting of expected disappointment—endure all the burdens of contemporary American life while knowing none of its promised spoils. My soul will starve and wither as I sporadically, ever less-frequently, thrash like a dying fish. That impotent violence will flicker inside what appears to be a semi-comatose half-man ambling upon an inclined treadmill with weary unmet longing in the half-shut slits where his eyes used to be. Slowly the pulses that shoot through me will flatten and dull, modulate. We might call those pulses hope. What do you think of my life? What would you do if you were me? Do you feel bad for me given all the things I'll never know? Cannot a case be made that my life is all the more terrible because it allows for false hope? I am not strong enough for problems beyond what I endure and I would have the ability to kill myself if I had "real" problems, e.g. health problems, homelessness.
TRAGIC!!! Please help.? I am 20years old, a while back I lost a very good paying job (my own fault). Ever since then I have not been able to find a job. I search EVERY DAY (literally) I stay on craigslist and indeed.com. Most places i dont qualify for or too far from my house. The places I apply send me emails rejecting me and i do not know why. i think it is unfair to just go off of a stupid assessment cause i have yet to find a person who actually has. i have been on several interviews but no one wants me. i can not be that happy energized outgoing person if i have nothing to be excited over i have been depressed mislead confused hurt and humiliated so many times that my real personality has just seemed to be darkened by the negativity around me. and during interview i find it hard to fake a smile, let alone act to be this outgoing bubbly person. to top it all off every time i turn around my parents constantly say "you need to get a job" "i am tired of seeing you around the house" "you are selfish and lazy you dont want to do nothing" which is not the case i just cant find a job to help my situation so to get away from all the madness i sleep all day, when i get mad i sleep, when someone hurts my feelings i sleep, because when you dream you can imagine your ideal place. also i have been driving back and forth to school with no insurance for the last year, my grandmother pays my cell phone bill which every other day i have to hear how she is smuggling and i need to find a way to help her out. my day constantly reminds me of how i am so young but have horrible credit which he doesn't understand i am trying. everyone around me is willing to judge me but not help no one will hire me for their various reasons and things seem to get worse by the day and i am thinking about just ending it all to no longer be a burden on my family and to have no more worries of life in my society.
I'm 50, F, no job, no prospects, and a resume. My field for 15 yrs has been clerical/data entry.? I am signed up with all the local agencies, check craigslist.com every day, set up on Monster, Hot Jobs, Indeed.com and several others. I have lowered my starting wage, and am getting desperate as my unemployment ran out last week. I have been searching for 6 mo now and no luck, seems that all any company wants is a 20-something with big u know what's. It seems like experience, dependability, and someone eager to work doesn't count for much now days. I don't mean to sound sour or bitter, but it's getting rather depressing to go in for an interview and when u get contacted back or u call back, the jobs always been filled. Any one with any kind of suggestions, ideas or solutions, PLEASE respond, I'm getting desperate.
Response to the US Vs UK military questions? Just read this article. It came out of the most anti-American newspaper in the world. The Guardian... That being said, even these idiots can not deny the scope of American power. Oh yeah...There is no way Britain could even begin to dream about winning a (hypothetical) war against America. Read up on the US Military - no one even comes close. This isn't opinion...its fact. -------- American power -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Armed to the teeth Is Bush's awesome increase in military spending a reasonable response to the afermath of September 11, or is he creating a force almost too powerful for its own good? Peter Beaumont and Ed Vulliamy report Is America too powerful for its own good? You can have your say online here. Observer Worldview Sunday February 10, 2002 The Observer There is a United States special forces dog-handler who meets journalists, diplomats and aid workers off the UN flight to Kabul. His job is to search luggage and ensure the security of US troops in Afghanistan. He is short, gingery and aggressive. His skills at persuasion are limited to shouting at the milling crowd: 'Stand back! Stand back! My dog will bite!' Last week that phrase had become the defining motto and operating credo for the military and foreign policy of the Bush administration. Already President George W. Bush has put Iran, Iraq and North Korea on notice as terrorist-sponsoring nations at the centre of an international 'axis of evil', despite the CIA's recent evidence that none of them was in the business of threatening the United States at present. Article continues -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last Monday, to back that explicit threat, he announced an increase in US military spending of 15 per cent, the biggest in 20 years, more than double the military spending in all of the European Union. The rise will be $36 billion (£26.5bn) this year, $48 billion next year and $120 billion over the next five years, rising to a staggering two trillion over the next five years. Even this is not enough for General Richard Myers, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. They want the US defence budget to increase at an even faster rate. What all this means is clear. Troubled by the 11 September attacks and buoyed by the ease of the war against Afghanistan, Bush's message to the 'evil doers' of the world is that he has a dog; that it is very big, getting bigger, and certainly it will bite. The puzzle about the latest rise in defence spending is that America at the beginning of the 21st century is already not so much a superpower as a behemoth on the world stage. Economically dominant, it enjoys military and cultural power unrivalled since the days of the Roman emperors, as the American author Robert D. Kaplan reminds us in his new book, Warrior Politics. Typically, it has been left to the French, traditionally suspicious of US global hegemony, to find the best words to describe it. Gigantisme militaire they call it, in a phrase that describes both the scale of America's ambitions and also a pathological condition: an organism grown so large it is sick. The question the rest of the world is asking itself is: Who is the enemy America is arming itself so against? And why? 'Ostensibly,' says one European diplomat, 'this is about security. But quite how a massive increase in defence spending is supposed to prevent another terrorist attack remains unclear. Instead this seems to be about repairing the bruised American psyche after 11 September. America's powerlessness in the face of this attack requires big gestures and reassurances, even if they are counter-productive and meaningless.' Indeed, some analysts say, if it is security that America seeks it is better sought in dialogue with potentially threatening states, rather than in reinforcing the idea already held by many anti-US groups that it is an evil empire bent on world domination. Cynics have identified more overtly self-serving strands in the Republican obsession with America's defence. The 'war' rhetoric, as some US liberal commentators have pointed out, serves a purely domestic Republican agenda in the post-11 September mood of national paranoia: to win Bush a second presidential term and, in the shorter term, regain Congress. The reality - even before the latest proposed increases in military spending - is that America could beat the rest of the world at war with one hand tied behind its back. The requirement that US armed forces be able to fight two fully fledged wars with two separate adversaries simultaneously may recently have been dropped, but only because it would be hard pushed to find two such equal foes to fight. A single US nuclear-powered carrier group - which forms around the USS Enterprise, for example, with a flight deck almost a mile in length and a superstructure 20 storeys high - concentrates more military power in one naval group than most states can manage with all their armed forces. America has seven of these battle groups. It is not just the scale and power of these weapons systems. The reach of US arms, too, is awesome. When the USS Kitty Hawk was sent with its accompanying warships from Yokohama to the Gulf for the war against Afghanistan, it covered 6,000 miles in just 12 days to be transformed into a vast floating forward attack station for thousands of US special forces. Its B-52 bombers can fly and refuel across the world armed with cruise missiles that can be fired hundreds of miles away from hostile skies, the missiles themselves directed to their targets by satellites in orbit. And America's supremacy in bombs, planes, satellites, tanks and real-time intelligence have made the prospect of US casualties remote, except in the event of cock-up or disaster. And, significantly, as the world's only economic hyper-power, it can afford this level of militarisation. But against all this even the manufacturers of America's arms - like the aviation giant Lockheed-Martin - have been struggling for a decade or so to define the threat its top-shelf jets will be battling in the skies, being forced in one memorable presentation to show the European Eurofighter as a potential adversary. So why the need for more and better military power? Even military analysts are baffled. 'The rise in US military spending,' says Dan Plesch, senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, 'ought to be compared to the decision in the First World War to order up more cavalry when the first wave had been mown down by machine-guns. 'The US has no competitor in high-tech military equipment. And what it is spending its money on is mostly irrelevant against the knives used to carry out 11 September. The bombing of Afghanistan has created the illusion of victory.' Professor Paul Kennedy at Yale University calculates that the US now spends more each year than the next nine largest national defence budgets combined. Indeed America is responsible for about 40 per cent of the world's military spending. The new defence expenditure will be paid for by a freshly dug deficit and cuts to every other federal spending programme - including social security, Medicare and urban renewal - apart from tax breaks loaded heavily in favour of the upper-income brackets. Amid all this, military might has emerged as the central tenet of America's new power, the defining feature of the Bush administration. Already it is causing alarm, even among America's closest allies in Nato, where Lord Robertson, the usually unflappable secretary-general, has been moved to warn some members that unless the declining European defence expenditure is reversed then Europe - and the Europeans in Nato - are in danger of becoming military pygmies. It is not a prospect likely to worry the military hawks in the Bush administration, who favour unilateralism over alliance. Indeed the Nato alliance, built to counter the rival superpower conflict of the Cold War, is already almost redundant, some diplomats claim. 'Will the Americans ever fight a war through Nato again?' asks Carl Bildt, former Swedish Prime Minister. 'It's doubtful. The United States reserves the right to itself to wage war, and dumps on others the messy, expensive business of nation-building and peace keeping'. And the Afghan war has not only put the US in sole command of the world, but fundamentally reshaped the architecture of international alliances. Central Asia is splattered with new American fortresses; the Pacific and Indian oceans are patrolled by aircraft carriers and accompanying fleets of awesome size.
Just how powerful is the United States..(militarily)??? This was not writen by an American...This comes from an european newspaper...I post this in lue of the recent uprising in "loosing confidence of the American Military. Our boys and girls, of the USAF, are the finest in the world...There is no question about it...Anyway...This is what people in Britain think of our military capability... Armed to the teeth Is Bush's awesome increase in military spending a reasonable response to the afermath of September 11, or is he creating a force almost too powerful for its own good? Peter Beaumont and Ed Vulliamy report Is America too powerful for its own good? You can have your say online here. Observer Worldview Sunday February 10, 2002 The Observer There is a United States special forces dog-handler who meets journalists, diplomats and aid workers off the UN flight to Kabul. His job is to search luggage and ensure the security of US troops in Afghanistan. He is short, gingery and aggressive. His skills at persuasion are limited to shouting at the milling crowd: 'Stand back! Stand back! My dog will bite!' Last week that phrase had become the defining motto and operating credo for the military and foreign policy of the Bush administration. Already President George W. Bush has put Iran, Iraq and North Korea on notice as terrorist-sponsoring nations at the centre of an international 'axis of evil', despite the CIA's recent evidence that none of them was in the business of threatening the United States at present. Last Monday, to back that explicit threat, he announced an increase in US military spending of 15 per cent, the biggest in 20 years, more than double the military spending in all of the European Union. The rise will be $36 billion (£26.5bn) this year, $48 billion next year and $120 billion over the next five years, rising to a staggering two trillion over the next five years. Even this is not enough for General Richard Myers, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. They want the US defence budget to increase at an even faster rate. What all this means is clear. Troubled by the 11 September attacks and buoyed by the ease of the war against Afghanistan, Bush's message to the 'evil doers' of the world is that he has a dog; that it is very big, getting bigger, and certainly it will bite. The puzzle about the latest rise in defence spending is that America at the beginning of the 21st century is already not so much a superpower as a behemoth on the world stage. Economically dominant, it enjoys military and cultural power unrivalled since the days of the Roman emperors, as the American author Robert D. Kaplan reminds us in his new book, Warrior Politics. Typically, it has been left to the French, traditionally suspicious of US global hegemony, to find the best words to describe it. Gigantisme militaire they call it, in a phrase that describes both the scale of America's ambitions and also a pathological condition: an organism grown so large it is sick. The question the rest of the world is asking itself is: Who is the enemy America is arming itself so against? And why? 'Ostensibly,' says one European diplomat, 'this is about security. But quite how a massive increase in defence spending is supposed to prevent another terrorist attack remains unclear. Instead this seems to be about repairing the bruised American psyche after 11 September. America's powerlessness in the face of this attack requires big gestures and reassurances, even if they are counter-productive and meaningless.' Indeed, some analysts say, if it is security that America seeks it is better sought in dialogue with potentially threatening states, rather than in reinforcing the idea already held by many anti-US groups that it is an evil empire bent on world domination. Cynics have identified more overtly self-serving strands in the Republican obsession with America's defence. The 'war' rhetoric, as some US liberal commentators have pointed out, serves a purely domestic Republican agenda in the post-11 September mood of national paranoia: to win Bush a second presidential term and, in the shorter term, regain Congress. The reality - even before the latest proposed increases in military spending - is that America could beat the rest of the world at war with one hand tied behind its back. The requirement that US armed forces be able to fight two fully fledged wars with two separate adversaries simultaneously may recently have been dropped, but only because it would be hard pushed to find two such equal foes to fight. A single US nuclear-powered carrier group - which forms around the USS Enterprise, for example, with a flight deck almost a mile in length and a superstructure 20 storeys high - concentrates more military power in one naval group than most states can manage with all their armed forces. America has seven of these battle groups. It is not just the scale and power of these weapons systems. The reach of US arms, too, is awesome. When the USS Kitty Hawk was sent with its accompanying warships from Yokohama to the Gulf for the war against Afghanistan, it covered 6,000 miles in just 12 days to be transformed into a vast floating forward attack station for thousands of US special forces. Its B-52 bombers can fly and refuel across the world armed with cruise missiles that can be fired hundreds of miles away from hostile skies, the missiles themselves directed to their targets by satellites in orbit. And America's supremacy in bombs, planes, satellites, tanks and real-time intelligence have made the prospect of US casualties remote, except in the event of cock-up or disaster. And, significantly, as the world's only economic hyper-power, it can afford this level of militarisation. But against all this even the manufacturers of America's arms - like the aviation giant Lockheed-Martin - have been struggling for a decade or so to define the threat its top-shelf jets will be battling in the skies, being forced in one memorable presentation to show the European Eurofighter as a potential adversary. So why the need for more and better military power? Even military analysts are baffled. 'The rise in US military spending,' says Dan Plesch, senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, 'ought to be compared to the decision in the First World War to order up more cavalry when the first wave had been mown down by machine-guns. 'The US has no competitor in high-tech military equipment. And what it is spending its money on is mostly irrelevant against the knives used to carry out 11 September. The bombing of Afghanistan has created the illusion of victory.' Professor Paul Kennedy at Yale University calculates that the US now spends more each year than the next nine largest national defence budgets combined. Indeed America is responsible for about 40 per cent of the world's military spending.

American Corporations cut 2.9 Mil Jobs and Hired 2.4 mil offshore.. why does that make me a Liberal? I asked a sensible question with a little explanation of why I asked it.. Conservatives seem to be endorsing Corporations outsourcing American jobs with tax incentives and subsides and I don't know why.. (please read) I didn't start out with a hostility towards "Conservatives' and I still don't even though you roasted me as an Obama bot...me? I'm not a Liberal. Not that it matters.. but I'm a Republican that sat out the last election because of the choices.. Independent doesn't seem to mean much anymore,,as self described independents we the ones calling me a commie. Here's the deal Starting in 2001 until 2009 American corporations slashed 2.9 Million American Jobs and Hired 2.4 overseas workers? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704821704576270783611823972.html This is in direct opposition to the trend from the 90's and I guess this is where I annoy people.. once the Tax cuts began under Bush who by the way I voted for.. the jobs went east.. I detested Clinton ...NAFTA was an incredible dig into the American Family my kids were little and I remember the feeling then. Please don't attack me for pointing out data from the wall street journal. I actually found this through a link at my Church website.. we prayed on this this week. I just don't understand the principle on which this is based.. how does making the Tax burden lighter for American corporations that have outsourced and continue to outsource jobs benefit the country? And why do my fellow working class Americans take no offense to this betrayal? please explain to me in a civil manner, I never use this room because of the anger that flows so freely from both sides.. but I can't find anyone with a legitimate answer to this anywhere.. Ps.. I did a search for corporate Tax rates as that is the usual explanation as to why the migration has occurred. While the US does indeed have a higher corp tax than 'some" countries, thanks to our Tax structure many companies like GE are able to pay no tax at all.. check out this map http://reporting.sunlightfoundation.com/2011/comparing-national-corporate-tax-rates/ we do not have the highest tax rates.. that just simply is not true.. and regardless even if we did the companies aren't paying it anyway.. so why would that be a factor? My links were well placed and non partisan.. We added Jobs throughout the 90's at a much higher personal rate, corporate rates are lower now than they were then. that's why this such a frustrating subject. Honestly there's no room for "real' conservatives in this country anymore.. balance is gone its pure partisanship which leaves reasonable people flat.. God Bless Our Wonderful..sad country
One Life To Live: Questions For A Soap Newbie? Your Open Question Show me another » One Life To Live Newbie Questions? Hello Fellow Fans. I am new to the OLTL Universe ~ o any soaps for that matter. So I have a few questions that I was not able to find on the net ~ at least not with the basic searches I did. Thank you in advance! Todd and Vicki are siblings correct? I know that Vicki suffered from MPD, but as far as her true self, she seems kind, generous, mature ~ so what in the world happened to Todd? What made him such a psychopath? I just finished watching the episodes where he found Cole and Starr together ~ and he was hitting Marco, Cole, and he threatened Langston ~ all just children, and was insulting Langston on her "dead parents" ~ all of them children ~ and another episode where he thew Starr down the stairs, and then immediately blamed Cole, and while Starr lay there unconscious. he just sat there looking all smug with no concern at all. Sorry to go on such a long rant but the more I think about it ~ wow what a nut job. All of them are just kids. What happened to him to make him such a nut job? Now Dorian and Vicki are also related right? Why is Dorian so crazy? Why is she so competitive with Vicki? So Blair and Todd have 2 children together ~ Starr and Jack right? Who does the other little boy belong to? I am hearing all of these things about "What Todd did to Marty" ... how awful it is and blah blah blah. What happened? And how/why did she lose her memory? Who is Cole's real father? Who is Tommy/Sam? I mean who are his actual parents and how does it involve Todd doing something awful to Marcie? How did Langston's parents die and is she an actual blood relative of Dorian's an adopted daughter o God-Mother situation? How did this Nash guy die? So this Brody dude that is in love with Jessica actually used to be in love with Gigi? Where did Todd's wife Andrea go ~ Dorians's daughter right? How are Dorian and Blair related? It is confusing because even the children in this show call the parents by their first names, and friends call eachother by their last names ~ like ALL of them. WTF? So I guess most of my questions are indeed family tree questions. But seriously ~ I hardly know anyones first name ~ Merasko ~ McBain ~ Turner ~ etc.... Oh ~ another question ... I know that years ago, Blair actually did push Tea out a window, and now Blair is recovering from falling (yet accusing Tea of pusher) out of the window. I am guessing this was done to be ironic and have humor, and could in no way be a coincidence. Thanks again! P.S. ~ Hope you are all fluent in typonese. I had to type fast so I am sure there are many misspelled words!s RESPONSE TO FIRST 2 ANSWERS: StillPeachy & Jasmine ~ Bless your hearts ~ both of you, lol! It was like you guys were on the same wave length! Honestly, I do not believe any other answer is needed, as you gals answered in full detail. You rock! You know how you start in on a show late, and you enjoy it but there is so much you do not know on what led these characters to where they are? Those questions nag at you every time you watch a new episode! Now I get the gist of it all. THANK YOU! I apologize for the delete. I was having technical difficulties. I posted it in "Yahoo Singapore Answers". Dunno how that happened. I have only ever posted a few questions here & don't think I have given any answers ever, so never knew of the rating system. There must be a way to rate you both highly. I will read the 411 on the rating system now. Sorry for being such a newb. Thank you Peachy for the extra added details and thank you Jas for the link! OMG ~ Reading this is better than looking for old episodes that don't come in too clearly anyways!! So can someone tell me ... Does Vicki find out that Dorian held Charlie hostage? And why does Charlie leave the show? And btw, is it just me, or does Charlie look a LOT like Bo? Friends ~ I just want to say WOW. Did you know that out of the few question I have posted on Yahoo ~ Soap Pals are the BEST! Usually I get some jerk to insult my question or make fun of me ~ like on my computer questions ~ but you guys rock! Even after you already saw answers, you still each took the time to answer in your own words. Thank you. I wish I could have voted to have each of you as the "BEST ANSWER". But the rules won't allow that. I am sorry :( So I have chosen the 1st answer from StillPeachy, as she was the 1st to answer and did so fast in full detail. But everyone was great. As a matter of fact: and yes I know this makes me a newb + a dork, but I am printing the answers so I can enjoy reading through them and see if I missed anything. And I am actually about to post some more questions. I hope some of you will be there to answer! Thank you again!
Advice Please! I need to get mental help!? I know that this is long, but please just bear with me. I would really appreciate your advice. I am a fifteen year old sophomore in high school. I attend a difficult private Catholic school. I suppose that you could call me a far-from-perfect perfectionist. I am one of those people who feel they need to participate in EVERYTHING. When I say everything, I literally mean EVERYTHING. The reason I do so much is because I really want to get into a good college. Only one person from my family has gone on to college, and that’s my older sister. On the surface I make it seem like I have a perfectly balanced life. On the surface, you would think that I am the model teenager every parent dreams of. Well, if you thought that you would be very wrong. Very wrong, indeed. Like I said, I am not the perfect girl I appear to be. I REALLY need to get help with numerous mental problems. The thing is though, I am too scared. I have never been diagnosed (or sought diagnosis) with a mental disorder. I have never had any medical/ mental problems at all. However, my life has been so rough lately (past three months or so) that I decided to do a lot of research to try to understand what has been going on inside my head. I have been self diagnosing myself with a few connected diseases. I believe that I have depression, anxiety disorder, OCD, and possibly bipolar disorder. I have reason to believe that OCD is the root of my problems. I have had on and off depression and anxiety since I was young. I think that the OCD has been present for a while, but it has just recently gotten worse. On top of that, I have also been suffering with anorexia on and off for a year and a half now. Lately these problems have become so difficult to live with that I have been having suicidal thoughts on a regular basis. I never get to sleep before 3am because I’m up so late doing homework. When I do find time to work, the disorders make it very difficult to focus on the task as hand. I might feel too depressed or stressed to focus or I will have to go organize or clean stuff in my room so that I don't go mad. Also, when I do my homework everything has to be just right. This means that it takes me probably three times longer than the other students to finish a paper or assignment. My grades have been falling. I only got one B last year and now most of my grades are B's and I'm close to a C in chemistry. I am behind in almost every class. I just failed my first test last week with a 69%. I have panic attacks every few days where I literally feel like something will happen and I will die. I’ve even unintentionally pushed most of my friends out of my life. My greatest wish is to just disappear from the world for a little while and be at peace. I imagine it in my head daily and how wonderful it would be and feel, but it makes me even more depressed when I have to return to reality and realize that those wonderful, peaceful feelings are so unattainable. I am very spiritual, but not even God has been able to help me (not that I’ve really let Him help). I thought that understanding what was wrong with me would help me to get better, but I now realize how stupid I was for having ever even thought this would be true. I would give anything to get help. I want it more than anything in the whole wide freakin’ universe!Being underage though, I can’t get help without a parent. I can’t tell my mom. I can’t give her the burden of knowing she has a fucked up kid. I was the one in my family that was supposed to turn out normal, unlike the others who either end up knocked up, in jail, on drugs, and living in debt. Besides, my mom has enough to worry about as it is. I can’t add more stress to her life. She’s been battling cancer and the depression from that, is trying to plan her wedding with her new fiancé, is searching for a new job, looking for a new house, and we’re having some money problems. I don’t want her to have to mark on her calendar, “Take daughter to therapy.” That’s a horrible thing for me to do! I don’t want her to think she’s messed up as a mother. And what would everyone think when they found out I was getting seeing a psychologist? I don’t even have time in my life to go get help! I just don’t know what to do! Should I be selfish and try to get myself some help, but sacrifice my mother's sanity? And I would be humiliated if people started to find out. Do you think I should just wait a little longer and see if things start getting better? I’ve been dealing for awhile, so I supposed it’s got to get better sooner or later. If you think that I should seek help, do you have any advice on how to talk to my mom? Currently I'm too scared to do anything. Posting some of my story here on Yahoo has probably been the biggest step I've made. I've never told anyone any of this before. Thank you. Even if you are not sure about what I should do, at least you read what I had to say and tried to help. Hopefully this will help ot
Need help please make me a reaction paper about this poem.Please.Just Please do it i'll give 10 points.? Blonde And Blue Eyes When I was little, I wanted what many Filipino children all over the country wanted. I wanted to be blond, blue-eyed, and white. I thought-if I just wished hard enough and was good enough, I’d wake up on Christmas morning with snow outside my window and freckles across my nose! More than four centuries under western domination does that to you. I have sixteen cousins. In a couple of years, there will just be five of us left in the Philippines, the rest will have gone abroad in search of “greener pastures.” It’s not just an anomaly; it’s a trend; the Filipino diaspora. Today, about eight million Filipinos are scattered around the world. There are those who disapprove of Filipinos who choose to leave. I used to. Maybe this is a natural reaction of someone who was left behind, smiling for family pictures that get emptier with each succeeding year. Desertion, I called it. My country is a land that has perpetually fought for the freedom to be itself. Our heroes offered their lives in the struggle against the Spanish, the Japanese, the Americans. To pack up and deny that identity is tantamount to spitting on that sacrifice. Or is it? I don’t think so, not anymore. True, there is no denying this phenomenon, aided by the fact that what was once the other side of the world is now a twelve-hour plane ride away. But this is a borderless world, where no individual can claim to be purely from where he is now. My mother is of Chinese descent, my father is a quarter Spanish, and I call myself a pure Filipino-a hybrid of sorts resulting from a combination of cultures. Each square mile anywhere in the world is made up of people of different ethnicities, with national identities and individual personalities. Because of this, each square mile is already a microcosm of the world. In as much as this blessed spot that is England is the world, so is my neighbourhood back home. Seen this way, the Filipino Diaspora, or any sort of dispersal of populations, is not as ominous as so many claim. It must be understood. I come from a Third World country, one that is still trying mightily to get back on its feet after many years of dictatorship. But we shall make it, given more time. Especially now, when we have thousands of eager young minds who graduate from college every year. They have skills. They need jobs. We cannot absorb them all. A borderless world presents a bigger opportunity, yet one that is not so much abandonment but an extension of identity. Even as we take, we give back. We are the 40,000 skilled nurses who support the UK’s National Health Service. We are the quarter-of-a-million seafarers manning most of the world’s commercial ships. We are your software engineers in Ireland, your construction workers in the Middle East, your doctors and caregivers in North America, and, your musical artists in London’s West End. Nationalism isn’t bound by time or place. People from other nations migrate to create new nations, yet still remain essentially who they are. British society is itself an example of a multi-cultural nation, a melting pot of races, religions, arts and cultures. We are, indeed, in a borderless world! Leaving sometimes isn’t a matter of choice. It’s coming back that is. The Hobbits of the shire traveled all over Middle-Earth, but they chose to come home, richer in every sense of the word. We call people like these balikbayans or the ‘returnees’-those who followed their dream, yet choose to return and share their mature talents and good fortune. In a few years, I may take advantage of whatever opportunities come my way. But I will come home. A borderless world doesn’t preclude the idea of a home. I’m a Filipino, and I’ll always be one. It isn’t about just geography; it isn’t about boundaries. It’s about giving back to the country that shaped me. And that’s going to be more important to me than seeing snow outside my windows on a bright Christmas morning. Mabuhay. and Thank you.
Why do you believe that Kiwis, along with U.S. citizens and citizens of the U.K., are so relatively free to tr?

New Zealand's Brain Drain: The brain drain – as we discussed the first week of class - is a global problem, whereby a nation's best and brightest students and workers seek opportunity abroad, often leaving a knowledge or skill vacuum at home. The island nation of New Zealand can be counted among those countries whose people are heading overseas in search of greater prosperity. However, in the case of New Zealand, it is not clearly a one-way drain of people out of the country. Some point out that there are more and highly qualified people immigrating to New Zealand than there are people leaving, creating a "Brain Exchange." But are the employment needs of New Zealand being met by these new arrivals? First, let's look at some general immigration and emigration patterns of New Zealanders as presented by Simon Collins in his report for the New Zealand Herald. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=584505 In terms of the employment situation the Kiwi propensity for living abroad creates, of particular concern is the brain drain in New Zealand's medical community. As ONE News reports medical school graduates facing huge student debts see little choice but to seek higher paying positions overseas. Indeed, workers in a number of fields are looking to other countries as a greater source of opportunity. Hear from some of the Brain Drainers themselves about why they've chosen to work abroad in Yvette Adams' article for NZEdge . http://www.nzedge.com/features/ar-brainexchange.html These young people are looking for opportunity abroad and finding it. As one expat, who actually works in the UK to recruit other New Zealanders points out, the jobs people are finding are "not the stereotypical pub and nanny work" but skilled positions and sometimes career paths not open to Kiwi's at home. •What are some reasons cited for the emigration of New Zealanders? •Contrary to the restrictions placed on citizens of most nations, Kiwis are fortunate to have few boundaries to travel and work abroad. Thus, despite their distant and potentially remote location, the world is effectively more accessible to New Zealanders than to citizens of most other nations. Why do you believe that Kiwis, along with U.S. citizens and citizens of the U.K., are so relatively free to travel and work abroad? How has the legacy of the British Empire helped today's New Zealanders in this respect?

Am looking for housekeeping/caretaking positions. Where to look? So I have looked at SO MANY sites and maybe you know of better ones. What I am searching for is a live-in position possibly on an estate, property, farm/ranch, etc. with a salary. Have even put my own ads out on Craigslist. Willing to travel as a personal assistant, nanny (though not necessary looking for the au pair position), go on tour with bands, private entrepreneurs, etc. Nothing is here to tie me down, no kids or pets. Would like the traveling job first, but willing to work for someone with property. Have all the necessary skills and experience just running out of ideas. Even if you mention some of the sites I have been (indeed, craigslist, jobster, summer camp jobs, etc.) Anything is much welcomed.
Where is the vigorous scrutiny of Barack H. Obama? The MSM derided its own efforts at questioning the claims of the Bush Administration leading up to the war in Iraq. Gary Kamiya of Salon magazine writes: "...the real failing was not in any one area; it was across the board. Bush administration lies and distortions went unchallenged, or were actively promoted. Vital historical context was almost never provided. And it wasn't just a failure of analysis. With some honorable exceptions, good old-fashioned reporting was also absent." While I support the effort in Iraq and do not believe that President Bush lied, it is vitally important for the media to do as much as is possible to get at the facts wherever they may lead. There is only so much "fact checking" they can do when it comes to questions of national security, but when it comes to searching out and fully vetting the policy positions, voting records, and personal and private associations of a presidential candidate and accurately relaying that information to the American people, the job of our institutions of journalism is of paramount importance. Are we getting the WHOLE story when it comes to the candidate Barack Hussein Obama? Where is the coverage on his associations with ACORN, William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Frank Marshall Davis- leader of the Communist Party USA and mentor of young Obama in Hawii, Raila Odinga- Muslim extremist president of Kenya and others. If Senator McCain or Sarah Palin had as many questionable associates and allies, the MSM would have hung them by now with said associations. Headlines EVERYDAY would bring these associations before the American people time and time again. No sane and intelligent nor honest person could disagree with my assessment. The media's "fact checking" escapades serve to further muddy the issues or flat out lie to help their candidate, BHO. Because they enjoy a certain amount of immunity, there is no direct avenue by which the public can voice it's displeasure other than to turn the dial. Many of us are not aware that we are being lied to and therefore are completely in the dark. Others are willing subjects, enjoying the ride and hoping it'll take their man on to the White House. After all, isn't getting a democrat in office worth it? "By any means neccessary?" But others, like myself, are angry as hell and yet feel powerless to stop this slaughter of truth and fairness right before our eyes. We hear statements like: "Obama doesn't support preschool sex-ed, just 'age appropriate' sex ed for preschoolers where preschoolers are taught how to avoid sex predators. That is what Obama has said." Could not you (the media), who went as far as presenting fake documents to "prove" that then candidate George W. Bush was not at his reserve training, give us a little more than "Obama has said" for proof? Could not you send actual investigators to find out the truth? Could you not investigate his votes on the BAIPA in the state senate of Illinois? And when you report that John McCain and Sarah Palin are "misleading" the people when they present ACCURATELY the facts surrounding his votes on this legislation, could you just come out and say that you indeed don't like WHERE the facts lead? Would all who are as teed off by this blatant disregard for truth and accuracy in the MSM please help. I would like you to suggests ways other than just "turning the dial" on these dishonest and biased reporting for Obama. If Americans were presented the whole story about this man, he would be 30 points down. We only have a couple of weeks. But I trust that American ingenuity is unsurpassed on this planet, and that if we join efforts we can make a difference before the wrong "change" occurs in our nation.
Kevin Nash talks Sunday's TNA PPV match with Foley? With TNA's return to Pay-Per-View this Sunday night, The Main Event Mafia's Kevin Nash kicked off his "Big Sexy World Tour" search on "Your Home Of Wrestling Radio," Monday Night Mayhem. Kevin thanked Mosh, Blade, & Bill for his return to the program, as he was beginning the early stages of the daunting task in selecting a female valet that will accompany him to the ring at TNA's Final Resolution PPV on December 20th. Mosh began things by asking how this idea came out. "I just wanna hang out with a hot broad...After all this time, I've never really had a valet, and I just had my 50th birthday so as a present to me, with my birthday & Christmas all wrapped into one. I think it will be nice just to give someone the chance to fulfill a dream...fulfill my dream. I think it'll be a good time." He had the chance to look at some of the applicants so far, and he is impressed so far with some of them to say the least. "The thing is a lot of women think that I'm looking for a '10' in a bikini that's 20 years old. My thing that is sexy to me is all about attitude." To enter this exclusive TNA contest, please submit the following: 1. Select a photo (no larger than 500k) 2. Name: 3. Age (as of July 9, 2009): 4. Address: 5. Phone number: 6. E-mail: 7. An essay on why you believe you should be selected. The essay can be no more than 50 words: Email your info to BigSexyTour@TNAWrestling.comThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . The deadline for entries is October 1st, so get yours in today! For further information on the "Big Sexy World Tour" search, check out the official press release (located here: www.tnawrestling.com/content/view/157/84). With all the talk on Kevin's search for his new valet, Bill Brown asked about the status of The MEM's Jenna Moresca & where that leaves her within the group, as she been escorting him down to the ring & managing him over the past few months. "Kurt brought her in. They just used my sexual powers to take her money...that was my job. Kurt sicked me on her. Jenna's a sweetheart though...She's a nice girl." Nash will squaring off against Mick Foley this Sunday night at TNA's Hard Justice PPV for a chance to regain the TNA Legends Championship, a belt that Nash lost to Foley in a tag team match a few short weeks ago on iMPACT. Kevin is looking forward to this Sunday evening & how a victory could continue the winning streak for The Main Event Mafia. "I don't think anybody's gonna expect me & Mick to give any kind of an X-Division match. I guarantee you that somebody's bleeding. I mean there's no doubt about it. I've been looking forward to this. I worked only one time in my entire career against Mick Foley, and it was in WCW." He went onto to say that people have been saying that his career is rejuvenated and he tells why: "When you sit in a locker room with a guy like Kurt Angle every night that's as beat up as you are, goes 150%, never complains, that sets the bar night in & night out the way that he does, he's our team captain, and he motivates me. I see the passion in him, and I said 'I remember when I was driven like that,' and I'm like why am I not anymore. I give the credit to Kurt." Kevin added that the acquisition of Kurt Angle was indeed "the biggest thing in TNA." Blade shifted gears slightly to that of The Main Event Mafia, and how many TNA fans are very appreciative of the faction, simply because it is not as "watered down" as the nWo was back in World Championship Wrestling (towards the latter days of the group). "One of the perquisites was you had to be World Champion. If you weren't a World Champion, you couldn't be in The Mafia. So that kinda made it an exclusive group on its own. All of sudden, you don't have Horace, because he's Hogan's kid, brother, uncle...whatever he was. For a while there in the NWO, it was 'how we gonna get him over?' Well hell, let's put a 'black & white' T-Shirt on him." With the recent news of WWE Hall Of Famer, Hulk Hogan, undergoing laser surgery on his back in an attempt to carry on his wrestling career & with "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels coming back in for SummerSlam, the supporters of the younger talent of today's generation, as well as the haters/"armchair quarterbacks" from the superstars of the late '80's & '90's believe that "The Immortal One" & "The Showstopper" should call in quits. Based on Nash's past experiences in working with Hulk & Shawn, and after just turning 50 himself, was asked how much longer he believes he has left. "As much as people want us to quit, and say that we've had enough, & why don't you walk away, until you've walked on that stage, actually when you stand behind that curtain & that first note of your music plays, and the crowd pops, there's not a drug on the planet that's as strong as that....You can't find that anywhere else." He added that it's hard to give up the power they as wrestlers have in controlling audiences & infl FCW & ROH http://www.youtube.com/user... WWE & TNA http://www.youtube.com/user...

Please note it is relevant to vital Tourist info because a creative Government Attract Tourists. Plus Irish people like creative people. If politicians are creative and good looking everybody of voting age would vote. (Well I think so anyway). Mini Play Poem below to explain question. Please note it is a metaphor :) Brian C to Brian L: Oh my darling sweet Finance guy, number Uno, How I yurn for your gentle numeric touch, You are so creative with our finances, Even more so than when I had the job. That is why I want to turn thee gentle and swiftly, Turn you like my turf, Oh I want you my love. Yet I reserve myself, My sweet everything My only you, Nothing else but you Could make my perfect world. Brian L To Brian C: Oh I am just as bestial as you sweet leader, With actions of stupidity my failing too.

Anyway, Alas you never listened to the Culchie Code, You ignored our Bogger letters, You failed to usher a single tear at our pain, You just stepped on us and mashed us to the floor, All in the name of pain, Greed now stains your name. But you are indeed creative, Like writers block and boring shots, As comforting as unrequited love, As warm as a winters day, As caring as a cold hug, As lost as a poet torn, And through it all we wait, For your last fling, For you to finally find your real love.

i recently made a mistake, i misread something, i read it over at least three to four times? to make sure i got it right. i was finally satisfied it was right and the dispute to the question i had asked was well researched and more than double checked to validate that he was correct or i correct in my answer.. i was 100% sure i was correct when i researched the disputes to the point of the question. well i misread some of the scripture and kept reading the same thing over and over so i was sure this person was wrong and to tell the truth i was shocked because i really thought before i misread the scripture and took it for truth that what the person said in his dispute was indeed right as well as being shocked at what i thought i was reading correctly i was relieved he was wrong as it was much more simple to deal with than to have to explain my point was being misinterpreted when i really thought by the way this person punctuated and by his choice of words that he was angry with me and hated me for no just reason and no matter what i would have said he was just waiting to persecute me. so, even though i knew it to be inappropriate of a christian i thought i'd throw some digs at him and get away with it cause he was wrong and i was right. i felt he was the enemy. i was at work and telling a co-worker about how this guy was hating on me and how i showed him a thing or two and he told me that the guy was right that David slew Goliath with the sling shot i really thought i read it right, but lo and behold we looked it up and he read it aloud to me and when i looked at it i could not believe i actually asked him what bible was the scripture from and he told me the KJV. most people can read it once not me i have to read it over and over again while i'm reading the words seem to disappear and all of a sudden i lose my place where i'm at and have to search to find my spot so i have to keep going over and over and it seems like time has passed me by in between words even while i'm trying communicate in one form, fashion or another with someone else like right now i'm having a hard time getting this message and my point across. i started asking this question about 9:00 and it is now 12:00 some of it's my typing is bad but not all of it i lose time it seems like i go into some trance....can anyone relate to this? another thing sort of related , i've been aware that my next lesson in how to be a better christian is a two/for. 1st lesson is to learn to be humble.. 2nd lesson is to learn to love my enemy .......i 've been aware of the need to learn this lesson for a long time and struggling with it for just as long......can anyone give me advice on how to be successful in both lessons? wait just a minute i also want to know how does one learn these lessons and still protect their own in this day and time. as i am sure you would want to protect your loved ones. am i paranoid?.... tell me that this is not the truth.... i am hated because i am a.... 1. christian 2. white 3. american....three strikes watch out. i believe we are in the end times, the time of sorrows. all that i have seen causes me to believe what i have not yet seen i really feel i am save even though i am not a perfect christian i get some peace because i know God knows my heart . what really kills me is time is obviously running out and i feel i failed as a mother it was my job to bring my son to God. he may go to hell and soon, because i failed as a mother to do the most important job of all. he is not a christian..... how do i let go and let God... i can't right this wrong i've been trying for years? i don't expect an answer but i sure am hoping for a solution. my children are grown but they still shouldn't have to pay for my sins.i' should pay for my sins . oh boy please don't tell me to confess i have i know he's forgiven me....wow i have a 3rd lesson to learn ... 3rd lesson is how to let go and let God. i could use some sound advice to my multi dilemma question, thanks a lot. trolls go ahead make my day i've got a few lessons to learn and practice makes perfect. btw it is now 12:36... now i've edited all my typing errors etc.. and it is 1:02 p.m. thank you so much for taking the time to read all of that. i know it was pretty confusing. for that i am sorry. your answers seem like they are straight from God, they are simply beautiful. it is going to be hard to pick a best answer. i have picked one and it has brought me tears of joy. anyways......JOy\2/aLL/wayS
Is my boyfriend abusive and should I leave him? Will I ever find someone as good or better? Ok, so let me explain. I have been together with a man who is 14 years older than me for about 3/4 months. I am 21 he is 35. We met on the internet. He is a really affluent guy, somewhat handsome, and very intelligent. He has offered to pay for my school, buy me a second boob job among other things... He is really loving toward me, its almost strange because it happened so fast. The first time he flew me out to LA he told me he loved me and he has since told me that he loved me the moment he saw me in person at the airport and knew for sure that I was not some kind of imposter pretending to be a hot chick on the internet or something LOL. Of course I wanted to make sure he wasn't the type to go around telling every stupid girl he loved them esp. because he said it to me so quickly. I had to know it was genuine and that I was truly special. So I asked how many women he has loved and he told me just me. He also said that I am his ideal woman and his soul mate. Pretty heavy stuff I know. Now, I am bi polar, I have psychotic disorder and PTSD that stems from a rape. So keep in mind that I can be pretty difficult and surly at times without even knowing it. Its a part of my disease and it has negatively impacted just about every relationship whether platonic or romantic that I have ever had. Im complicated. :) Anyhow, we get into some pretty heated arguments and it can get pretty tumultuous. Almost a knock-down drag out fight if you will. We will have a minor disagreement about what show to watch on TV and it will escalate into a major fight filled with tons of animosity. At one point he got right in my face, screaming at me... He called me a B*tch, a s*ut and a cheater. He told me that I was worthless, fat and that I had a cellulite ass. (im 5'4" 130lbs with size F cup silicone breasts) All because I had texted a male friend from work about doing laundry. I was upset because he demanded that I do his laundry and I didn't want to. There was nothing at all romantic or disparaging about the text (btw he goes through my phone and I have to lock it now to keep him out, HOW INTRUSIVE!) I was sobbing and scared out of my mind because he is big and black and was in my face screaming at me until I cowered onto the floor in fear. Out of instinct I said; "Don't hit me!" because he was so near and angry. His reply: "Ill f*cking hit you if I want!!!" Then he mocked my facial expression. A few minutes later he apologized for calling me fat and telling me I have a cellulite ass because I have an eating disorder and I really take those sort of things to heart. I started purging alot more because of all the things he said. I always bring up how he said that stuff to guilt trip him... it happened like 6 weeks ago. He tried to make it up to me by taking me to Legally Blonde on Broadway but Im still distraught over this. IF that werent enough... we got into another argument over some other stupid, miniscule thing and he calledd me a C*nt and told me that my father was right and that I indeed am a no good ungrateful b*tch. He got in my face, made me cry and as soon as he went to the backyard I packed all my things and headed for the airport on foot hollywood hills (los angeles) a city I know nothing about. I was scared out of my mind and I didnt know where to turn. I walked for miles in the heat of mid day late august in search of help... with a 60lb suitcase, 30lb back pack and 5lb purse. It was utterly traumatic. Once I got help (if you could even call it that) I took an 80$ cab to the airport and awaited my flight. Meanwhile he was blowing up my cell phone. After all the anger with him settled, and I was in the airport, sweaty, bruised from my suitcase hitting my legs as I ran, and sore from running so far. He called me and apologized profusely and told me that He loved me and wanted to marry me. I was very reluctant and rude to him. I kept hanging up in his face and cursing at him, but after a while he came back to the airport in his Porsche and picked me up. He promised to make it up to me so he rescheduled my flight and bought me a new pair of pink ed hardy shoes and reimbursed me for the 80$ cab ride. He can also be pretty incorigible at times... I will repeatedly ask him to stop groping me or trying to perform sex acts on me and he wont stop... I wouldn't go so far as to say he rapes me but he comes pretty close. He also does this with tickling... I hate being tickled and he wont stop doing it! Sometimes he slaps me a little. Like when we were in the car riding back from San Diego I said something he didn't like and he slapped my thigh really hard and left a red mark. He denies that he hit me until we are both blue in the face. FYI- I got into a contract marriage with a soldier at age 18... still not divorced but he has also promised get me annulled from the soldier and help me through my bankruptcy that I have to file... that soldier put me in 80,000
CAN ANYONE PARAPHRASE THIS, I WANT TO SEE IF I PARAPHRASED MINES CORRECTLY, THANKS...? Proof of this can be found in a study by Professor Ellen Freeman of the University of Pennsylvania, who surveyed black, never-pregnant females age 17 or younger. Only 40% of those surveyed said that they thought becoming pregnant in the next year "would make their situation worse." Likewise, a study by Professor Laurie Schwab Zabin for the Journal of Research on Adolescence found that: "in a sample of inner-city black teens presenting for pregnancy tests, we reported that more than 31 percent of those who elected to carry their pregnancy to term told us, before their pregnancy was diagnosed, that they believed a baby would present a problem..." In other words, 69 percent either did not believe having a baby out-of-wedlock would present a problem or were unsure. Until teenage girls, particularly those living in relative poverty, can be made to see real consequences from pregnancy, it will be impossible to gain control over the problem of out-of- wedlock births. By disguising those consequences, welfare makes it easier for these girls to make the decisions that will lead to unwed motherhood. Current welfare policies seem to be designed with an appallingly lack of concern for their impact on out-of-wedlock births. Indeed, Medicaid programs in 11 states actually provide infertility treatments to single women on welfare. I should also point out that, once the child is born, welfare also appears to discourage the mother from marrying in the future. Research by Robert Hutchins of Cornell University shows that a 10 percent increase in AFDC benefits leads to an eight percent decrease in the marriage rate of single mothers. As welfare contributes to the rise in out-of-wedlock births and single-parent families, it concomitantly contributes to the associated increase in criminal activity. Secondly, welfare leads to increased crime by contributing to the marginalization of young black men in society. There are certainly many factors contributing to the increasing alienation and marginalization of young black men, including racism, poverty, and the failure of our educational system. However, welfare contributes as well. The welfare culture tells the man he is not a necessary part of the family. They are in effect cuckolded by the state. Their role of father and breadwinner is supplanted by the welfare check. The role of marriage and family as a civilizing influence on young men has long been discussed. Whether or not strict causation can be proven, it is certainly true that unwed fathers are more likely to use drugs and become involved in criminal behavior. Indeed, single men are five times more likely to commit violent crimes than married men. Finally, in areas where there is a high concentration of welfare, there may be an almost total lack of male role models. This can lead to crime in two ways. First, as the Maryland NAACP puts it, "A child whose parents draw a welfare check without going to work does not understand that in this society at least one parent is expected to rise five days of each week to go to some type of job." Second, boys growing up in mother only families naturally seek male influences. Unfortunately, in many inner city neighborhoods, those male role models may not exist. As George Gilder, author of Wealth and Poverty, has noted, the typical inner-city today is "almost a matriarchy. The women receive all the income, dominate the social-worker classes, and most of the schools." Thus, the boy in search of male guidance and companionship may end up in the company of gangs or other undesirable influences. Given all of the above, I believe it is clear that our current social welfare system is a significant cause of juvenile crime and violence in America today. Exactly how welfare should be reformed is undoubtedly beyond the scope of this hearing. The Cato Institute's position, however, is well known. Our research indicates that the current federal welfare system cannot be reformed. Accordingly, we have suggested that federal funding of welfare should be ended and responsibility for charity should be shifted first to the states and eventually to the private sector. In conclusion, let me simple say that, whatever Congress eventually decides to do in the way of welfare reform, I hope that you will recognize the disastrous consequences of our current welfare system. The status quo is plainly and simply unacceptable. The relationship between our failed social welfare system and juvenile violence and crime is one more urgent reason for reform.
My atheist friend doesn't believe it was God who helped me. How can I explain clearer to her? When I first came to the United States, I planned to obtain my green card. Me and my atheist friend came to the united states at the same time. " I am going to look for an American guy to do business marriage with," my atheist friend told me. " Alright," I replied. "Are you going to search for one as well?" she asked. "No," I replied. " How will you get your green card then?" she asked. "God will give it to me," I replied. " Good luck with that," she responded. While I was on my 4 month vacation in the USA, I blessingly found a job, a babysitting job. And the people I worked for, and still working for, are doctors. I explained to them that I ran away from my former country as a result of poverty and would like to apply for my green card here in the USA. The doctors told me that they wish me the very best. I spoke to the Lord about this. I told him I don't want to get married for the green card. I want the green card through Christ and not men. 4 months later, the doctors I work for told me that they both have discussed my case and decided to help me. They loan me some heavy money so that I could apply for my green card, and they took care of the rest for me, such as signed papers and all of that. In simple words, they sponsored me. My atheist friend found a man, married him, and got turned down by the immigration 5 times. She couldn't understand why... 2 years later after having applied for my green card, I was contacted by the immigration. And yes, II got my green card!!! " Seems like you are very lucky," my atheist friend said referring to how fast I got my green card. " No, I was not lucky. I knew I would have gotten it, because I took my concern to the Lord," I eplied. " There is no evidence that God exists. Therefore, there is no God," she said. " Alright. You can always keep saying that while I go work myself some cash and get closer to my God," I told her. She didn't reply. However, I still wanted her to know that God was the one who helped me, but I just couldn't come up with a better explanation. How can I explain to my atheist friend that God was who indeed gave me the green card?
Scientific proofs in the Bible? Just wanted to know everyone's thoughts on the fact that the bible has been SCIENTIFICALLY right, before many scholars. Here are some examples: The earth is round The Bible indicates that the earth is round. One verse we can look at is Isaiah 40:22, where it mentions the “circle of the earth.” From space, the earth always appears as a circle since it is round. This matches perfectly with the Bible. Another verse to consider is Job 26:10, where it teaches that God has “inscribed” a circle on the surface of the waters at the boundary of light and darkness. This boundary between light and darkness is where evening and morning occur. The boundary is a circle since the earth is round. A very interesting verse to consider is Job 26:7, which states that God “hangs the earth on nothing.” The Bible indicates in several places that the universe has been “stretched out” or expanded. For example, Isaiah 40:22 teaches that God stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. This would suggest that the universe has actually increased in size since its creation. God is stretching it out, causing it to expand. -- Most astronomers today believe that the universe is indeed expanding. In the 1920s, astronomers discovered that virtually all clusters of galaxies appear to be moving away from all other clusters; this indicates that the entire universe is expanding. There are many more of these theories, such as evidence of dinosaurs in the bible,comets, etc. There are many sites, search on google. Just wanted to know people's thoughts on this, and how they can argue this is wrong? Just examples - from a book by the way. Search on Google and read some more - just wanted to know thoughts. There are many other examples - please find them and read them. Also, to those who disregard any information from the bible, I'm curious to know their views on things such as how humans are here in the first place?
Have We Found Biblical Ophir at Ubar? Is Biblical Ophir the Lost City of Ubar? "The opinion that it [Ophir] was situated on the southern or south-eastern coast of Arabia has many advocates, who contend from the text of Genesis 10:29-30, that Ophir must be located between Saba and Hevilath..." >>http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11259b.h… A maritime nation which was a source of gold from at least the reign of Solomon (1Ki 9:28; 22:49; 2Ch 8:18). It also provided fine wood and precious stones (1Ki 10:11; 2Ch 9:10; Job 28:16). All of these were delivered to Israel by ship through the port of Ezion-geber on the Red Sea. The gold seems to have been of a particularly high quality since in some of the passages it is used in conjunction with more specific Hebrew terms for fine, choice gold (Job 22:24; Psa 45:9; Isa 13:12). Ophir became so associated with this rare metal that the name Ophir itself, without any further qualifier, is to be understood as "gold" in Job 22:24. Gold from this source is also known from an extra biblical inscription from Israel. [...] "The geographical location of Ophir is unclear, and the question has raised a multitude of suggestions ranging from southern Africa to India. The popular attraction to the romantic idea of some distant, exotic location of fantastic wealth has undoubtedly fueled the speculation" (ABD). "The claim of Southeastern Arabia as the land of Ophir has on the whole more to support it than that of India or of Africa. The Ophir of Gen 10:29 beyond doubt belonged to this region, and the search for Ophir in more distant lands can be made only on the precarious assumption that the Ophir of the Kings is not the same as the Ophir of Gen. Of the various products mentioned, the only one which from the OT notices can be regarded as clearly native to Ophir is the gold, and according to Pliny and Strabo the region of Southeastern Arabia bordering on the Persian Gulf was a famous gold-producing country. The other wares were not necessarily produced in Ophir, but were probably brought there from more distant lands, and thence conveyed by Solomon's merchantmen to Ezion-geber. If the duration of the voyage (3 years) be used as evidence, it favors this location of Ophir as much as that on the east coast of Africa. It seems therefore the least assailable view that Ophir was a district on the Persian Gulf in Southeastern Arabia and served in old time as an emporium of trade between the East and West" (ISBE). Modern discoveries suggest that the Biblical Ophir might be identified with Ubar, the legendary lost city of gold in southern Arabia. [...] The question with Ubar was where exactly to look. It was thought to be in or near the Rub' al Khali (Empty Quarter), a great sand sea in the southern Arabian Peninsula. [...] The excavations uncovered a large octagonal fortress with thick walls ten feet high and eight tall towers at the corners. The archaeologists also found Greek, Roman, and Syrian pottery, the oldest of which was dated at more than 4,000 years old. The discovery of these types of artifacts from far away places indicated that this was indeed a major center for trade and likely the fabled Ubar... >> http://www.christadelphianbooks.org/agor… WORKING LINKS (replaces links in main article): 1) http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11259b.htm 2) http://www.christadelphianbooks.org/agora/art_less/o10.html
I bought a VW Polo in September from a Trader and the Head Gasket has already blown. Do I have legal rights? I bought a 1999 VW Polo 1.6 'Open Air' from a Trader for £1350 in September this year, advertised in Autotrader. I had just sold my car as my financial situation was such that I needed to down-size my expenses. I have driven only approx. 300 miles in the car, 120 of which were on the day of purchase to get home. Last week whilst picking up my girlfriend from town, the car started misfiring badly, and so we chugged the 2 mile journey home. Fearing the worst I decided it best to not drive it anymore until a mechanic could get out to look at it, the earliest he could see it was yesterday. First off he checked and swapped the spark plugs which seemed to do the trick and the engine stopped misfiring for about 3 mins. The plugs were being coated in water and/or oil, so after a compression test to all the cylinders, cylinder numbers 2 and 3 were still misfiring. He checked all the usual bits and pieces, HT leads, Distributor, Water Pump, hoses etc etc, until finally after managing to remove the coolant bottle top (was overtightened) he discovered thick brown/copper gunk and severely correded particles caked around the inside of the bottle. He performed a 'sniffer' test to test for the presence of oil in the coolant tank, and sure enough the blue dye turned green. He confirmed head gasket failure, and he showed me the thick mayo sludge under the oil cap. So the cost of repair? Well, the mechanic quoted between £500-£600 to replace gasket, skim head and flush the cooling system BUT he stressed that once this job is underway, it is 'possible' that further, more severe damage may be found resulting in a cost of close to the £1350 I paid for the car. So, I guess my question is this: Do I have any legal right to request a replacement/repair/refund from the trader or is this wishful thinking? I am currently not working, and I simply don't have the money to pay for the repair, which could potentially double if it's discovered that the engine is cooked also. I have since noticed that the dials on the dash are not sitting true behind the plastic screen, and there is also a very small dried up fly in there too. Perhaps my 74000 mile polo is a 174000 mile polo. The car came with almost a years MOT, and had a new cambelt but hardly no history (last 2 MOTs) I did an HPI search all ok, so for a little run about I decided to take a chance. What a mistake! Having seen the crap inside the coolant bottle and the mayo gunk in the oil, and now the speedo issue, I feel that I've learnt a very harsh lesson indeed. A repair bill as expensive as what I paid for the car in just six weeks. Is there anything I can do or do I just take this one on the chin? Thanks for reading.
Should Gaddafi 'turn himself in' to the ICC? This is not a joke. Foe starters, he would be able to talk about NATO's invasion of Libya. As far as I know, there has never been, in any courtroom, a much-needed inspection of NATO's activities. Also; just by being there at the Hague, in the ICC's custody, Gaddafi would set some legal wheels in motion. Perhaps I am showing extreme optimism by saying this, but I believe that Gaddafi, in the role of prisoner, would make that court do its job. On May 16, 2011 the ICC put out an arrest warrant for Libya's leader Col Muammar Gaddafi. The 1998 Rome Statute, by which the International Criminal Court was established, is an easy read in full. http://www.un.org/law/icc/index.html A good summary of the 'procedural provisions' can be found on the ICC's website.http://www.icc-cpi.int/Menus/ICC/Search?qt=procedural+provisions&x=23&y=12&la=en This is how simple it all is: "The accused shall make an admission of guilt or plead not guilty. If the Trial Chamber is not satisfied that the accused understands the nature and consequences of the admission, or that the admission is supported by the facts of the case, it will consider the admission of guilt as not having been made, in which case the trial will be continued under the ordinary trial procedures. The parties may submit evidence relevant to the case. Everyone shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty .The burden of proof is on the Prosecutor. The accused's guilt must be proved beyond reasonable doubt." But here is the real kicker: "The accused may examine the witnesses against him or her, and obtain the attendance and examination of witnesses on his or her behalf." 'Examine' does not mean 'have a close look into their eyes' or even 'ask them to strip.' It means that the reluctant (i.e., subpoenaed) witnesses can be cross-examined. They must cough up requested information, or risk being jailed for contempt of court. So, What a situation! How did the powerful ever make such a boo-boo as to let this stuff get into print? Let us have a brief chronology here; In 1945 at Nuremberg, and in 1947 at Tokyo (ah, Tokyo), the victors of World War II held military-style tribunals. There was no pressure on such courts to behave honestly. Indeed as we now realize, the whole shebang was a farce, but as tends to happen words get thrown around and in this case they came up with 'crimes against humanity.' From this trial, which was meant to put Nazism in its place (you can interpret that broadly), something called "the Nuremberg principles" emerged. Thus it happened that, in the 1950s, the UN General Assembly instructed the ILC to codify this 'Nuremberg principles' business. (The ILC is the International Law Commission) They did so. They came up with seven rather bland principles, and no method for turning them into enforceable law -- except for the one very proper method: recommend to individual governments that they incorporate it into domestic law. The best-known is Principle IV, that you cannot defend your criminal actions by saying "I was only following orders." In Principle VI we find the possibility of punishing two newly declared crimes: 'crimes against peace' (defined as planning or waging a war of aggression) and 'crimes against humanity.' Being head of state, Gaddafi could quickly get Libya to sign and ratify the Rome Statute. Then, as a member, Libya can ask the ICC's Special Prosecutor an Argentine, Moreno-Ocampo (currently serving his second elected term, not a good sign if you know what I mean) to investigate the war crimes perpetrated by NATO. Of course Libya can't pursue the big one, the Crime of Aggression. As mentioned, Nuremberg Principle VI did actually specify the crime of waging war -- meaning, you know, invading another country "a la Hitler." When the Rome committee was meeting in 1995-97, Americans squelched that one. The Parties recently, however, agreed to an amendment, to criminalize the making of war. But hilariously they gave this a come-into-force date of 2017. Boy, you've really got to hand it to them eh? Of course I realize it takes will, and that words are by no means enough. But read these words, from the Rome Statute's preamble, and see if they stimulate your will: "Mindful that during this century millions of children, women and men have been victims of unimaginable atrocities" "Determined to put an end to impunity for the perpetrators of these crimes" "Emphasizing that nothing in this Statute shall be taken as authorizing any State Party to intervene in an armed conflict or in the internal affairs of any State" That's right; NO INTERVENING! So, does Gaddafi have a case? All thoughts welcome.
I'm Thinking to Transfer from C++ to C# & .NET - Any Suggestions? I have been learning C++ in dedication since last August. I can write codes, such as port scanner, read into binary file and search for piece of data, then exchange it with another one (patching), client-server echo, write some mathematical formulas such as quadratic formula, deal with WinAPI if needed (such as change DOS text color, cancel some attributes of Dos window, etc)....My next projects will be writing MD5, Credit Card Validation (Luhn Algorithm), Exchange one word with another word in a text file, Remote Access Tool (this is a deep project). However, i feel like where am i going to?!! Will this help? Am i ready to find an entry level job for C/C++? Answer is NO - its going to take quite a while. After i finish the projects i stated above, then i might feel confidence to work as a volunteer or so...Remote Access Tool is going to take quite a while indeed - i guess. I just though to stop now, because i feel in C# & .NET i can do some solid programming within 6 months unlike C++. I do not know about GUI in C++, all projects are on Command Line Interface (i like it)...In C# at least i can create programs that average joes can use! I can write programs and sell them just like Audio converter, Video Splitter, Screen Capture clips, private custom applications for customers and so on....So please advise, give me the gist to leave C++, learning MFC by itself it takes ages. I need start doing something that i can earn too... Note: i will code in C++ as a hobby for fun applications such as keylogger, but C++ won't be my priority anymore. Sometimes i feel like Oh Lord, if it was C# i would have gone faaar awaaay because long time a go i learned VB.NET for 3 months only and i felt oh yeaaaa i'm starting to write applications now that be sold to people, such accounting apps that can be used for grocery stores.... Please do not leave me up and dry, say something. Rescue a human :-S please.... Note: i care about designing my code well so it can be maintained easily and understood with easy for other developers....I'm still learning >>Every other 14 year old knows C++/C#/Java etc... NONE of them know computer programming. It sounds like you really was so stupid when you were on that age, so when you graduated you started attacking these kids to feel good...huh, loser... >>If you answered no to at least one of these answers, then GTFO and learn some basics before you even consider getting a job in the real world. Yes Mr.Retard, it sounds like you have been kicked out from a job recently...haha Check your email, i answered your questions. Next time talk polity, and don't say GTFO to your dad, ok! At least, i'm a self-learner and i know alot of what you have asked. You graduated and ask such questions! Then whats the difference between the self-learner (me) & you...You had a piece of paper extra... I'm not an English speaker, so my english is not that good, but well you if you are mentally handicapped, then you may not understand it
What can I do about neighbors blaming me for problems happening around our condominium complex? I am a young college student who recently turned 21 and I am currently living with my 20 year old boyfriend in a condominium complex. I have been accused of breaking a window in our lobby and have been sent a bill for it. On the letter accompanied by this bill it said that there was a witness that saw us breaking it. Upon reading this i was like.. "This is Bulls***!" Is that right or even legal for the Home Owners Association to have done? What evidence lead them to believe I was the one who indeed broke the window? I have also gotten several complaints for not closing my garage door, which I DO leave open because it is hard for me to open and close and I did not think it was anyone else's place to tell me whether or not I should close my own garage door especially if there are no other belongings in there. My boyfriend and I have also been confronted and accused of smoking marijuana and threatened by the President of the Home Owners Association that legal action will be taken and she will have police search our unit. Other unnecessary complaints in regards to where i walk my dog also have arisen. I feel i am being targeted for my youth since the complaints about my dog and marijuana should also pertain to the other tenants in this complex. A couple of neighbors have confronted me in very rude ways telling me what I can and can't do. They have gone as far as hollering at me across the complex saying to not walk my dog in that area, etc. To me this action is embarrassing and a form of harassment. I feel they try to use me and my boyfriend as a scapegoat for problems happening around the complex all because of the fact that we are young. Little do they know that for most of my day I am not even home. I work a full time job as a legal assistant and go to school at night in hopes to become an attorney. That is why these people upset me so much! what can i do?
help edit goal essay for job corps? Initially, when I was introduced to job corps through a friend of mine, I considered it to be my last choice of ever pursuing education. What I knew about Job Corps then came from popular opinions from friends of my friends that attended Job Corps. The way they pictured Job Corps was an unsanitary, cheap organization, full of students that were dropouts of high school and who at some point of their life had a criminal record. The picture those people painted in my head was that you had to be a dysfunctional, disobedient, teen who was an outcast, to be considered or offered to go to job corps; and as if that information wasn’t enough, I searched online for pros and cons (mostly cons) of joining Job Corps. After graduating high school in 2007 I haven’t done much towards my career goals. I did have a mind set on a specific career I wanted to pursue, but somehow I wasn’t in a hurry to pursue it. In November 2007 I joined AmeriCorps organization tutoring elementary students and upon completion, earned a scholarship worth of $4,000. I used that scholarship taking courses in Skagit Valley College, working towards a career goal of a Medical Office Personnel and lasted two years. I stopped my education in 2009 when I knew that I’m running out of the scholarship money and delved myself fully into work. Since then I haven’t gone back to college and I regret my decisions to stop school. I have made 2-3 repetitious attempts to join the military forces, but to my dismay and disappointment was rejected due to my medical condition. I have always dreamed of joining the military forces and after countless rejections, I felt that my dreams were broken. That’s when I remembered about Job Corps. My present situation forced me to consider what my life will look like 3, 4 years from now if I kept doing what I’m doing now: Going to work, paying my rent, and going that way back and forth. It made me realize that if I don’t take control of my life now, I will never have the chance. I made a decision to find out more about Job Corps and came to find out that what I was told back then, by my friends, was false and untrue; that what they were telling me, was based off their own experiences they created for themselves. I promised myself to go through with Job Corps and commit myself to hard work that will pay off in the end. I feel that Job Corps is looking for a person like me to enroll; I am a responsible person, always abiding by the rules set to me by authority. I can always be counted on to arrive on time and can always be found lending a hand to help a friend or just any passerby. I also feel that my commitment to Job Corps is higher than average for I am committed in following all the steps successfully to reach my career goal and graduate. I am committed to using my time wisely for studying, while attending Job Corps, even after I graduate. I enjoy work and studying, and once I get the feel of it, I just can’t stop; It becomes like a drug to me, a very good drug indeed. I always enjoy helping my peers understand what they missed during class, never backing down from a promise. Naming one of my goals that I am preparing to achieve in Job Corps is leadership skills. I have always had that streak of a leader in me that I have not been brave enough to show. In High School I used to lead little project teams, but was always very shy and uncomfortable when I had to present my works. I want to overcome my fear of public speaking and be able to show everyone and myself, in the first place, that I can indeed lead. It will be an accomplishment that will make me exceptionally proud of myself. My knowledge of the field I have chosen, that being Medical Office Personnel, is fairly wide and I feel I will ace it in no time. I have taken classes in Skagit Valley College and do hope that that will help me to achieve my career faster. Business English I and II, Typing classes, Microsoft Word, Medical Terminology are to name a few that I took. I haven’t had actual experience or internship or a way to practice what I know, but I do hope that Job Corps will help me to get that far and beyond. I really believe that Job Corps can help me fill the void that I missed and send me off to a new life. I that I will be chosen to enroll in the program. It is a great opportunity to get out into that world and work my way to success. Even though I’m sure that after graduating Job Corps my life would be exceptional, my desire for further education won’t stop there; I will continue to pursue my real dream career that of a Forensic Anthropologist. I don’t know how far I will get, but I am ready to take that personal challenge to prove myself that I can and that dreams really do come true. Thank you in advance for the opportunity to enroll in Job Corps and I hope I will be working towards my personal and educational goals soon. Sincerely, Valerie Battell.
Can Chapter 13 bankruptcy help my situation? Hello, I've had a rough year unfortunately. This year started out great, but came January 5th my world started crumbling. I found out I'm getting laid off and then an hour after I found that out, I turned my head for a split second and in that split second, the cars in front of me completely stopped and by the time I looked up I smashed into a Honda Civic and rammed it into a tow truck and damaged both cars. In one day, my job, my car, and my bills got worse like that. But hey, I survived the crash so I have something to be thankful for and no one else was hurt. The worst news is that my car insurance cancelled on me in November, but I didn't find out until December 27th. By then, I didn't have the money to get new Car Insurance, I was strapped on bills already. I had planned on getting Car Insurance January 9th when I got paid, but obviously it was a bit too late. So with no car insurance, my car has sat totaled in my driveway since. The cost to fix it would be over $8K. A lost cause indeed. For months I've been trying to find a way to survive my current and new debts and I was lucky enough to find a great job that pays $60K a year as a IT consultant. Unfortunately, with as much bills as I owe, its still not enough and I've been living on $100 a week for months now trying to pay these debts, but unfortunately other bills have come up, like they always do, and with theats of creditors and the Auto loan suing me and garnishing my wages, I'm beginining to think that my last resort is Bankruptcy. Of course, Chapter 7 won't work because I make too much money now and there is no way I'm letting this job go as I spent over 2 months searching rapidly and luckily craigslist saved me again. I believe though that I qualify for Chapter 13 bankruptcy which would allow me to create a more affordable repayment plan and protect me for up to 3 to 5 years from creditors coming after me. I'm no expert so I would like someone to review my debts that I'll list below and let me know what they think. Any help would be great. Thanks Here is all my debts: -My Auto loan (Which is the worst decision I ever made) balance is $13,500. -The civic I hit into the tow truck was totaled. I owe $8200 -The tow truck has $2100 worth of damage that I'm responsible for too. -I owe $2000 on a credit card. Another $900 for another credit card. -Another credit card (That I let my Mom open under me) $900 -Overdrawn Checking account $800 (Wells Fargo is out to screw you. $35 Overdraft fees and they always seem to put all your transactions before your deposit and direct deposits) That brings the total to $28200. If I had 3 years to pay this off with no interest getting added I'd have to make $783.33 monthly. If I had 5 years, all I would have to make is $470 a month. I'm not sure if its that simple though. It never really is. Also my auto loan is a secured debt and I'm not sure how thats effected and if Chapter 13 protects me against that. Any feedback about my situation would be great. It's pretty bad, but I'm at the point now where doing a bankruptcy would be relevant as I have 2 more months before these bills start coming after me trying to garnish. Thanks in advance
this is harry potter book 7 stuff i got frm the net!!! Is this what the plot of the leaked book said???????? if not tell me if u found it impressivee??????? Ron dies. Lupin dies. Percy dies (this death occurs before the wedding, inevitably throwing events into chaos). Voldemort dies. Snape dies. Details aren?t needed. Just say BELLATRIX KILLS RON! Snape?s loyalty? I found this to be the saddest part of the book. As many people guessed, all was not what it seemed with Dumbledore, and the two did indeed have a plan that would eventually result in Snape killing him. But, Snape was only in on things for personal gain, and when Voldemort learns of this, he is obviously furious with Snape. Snape tries to make up for things by luring Harry to him, but Harry manages to escape, and Voldemort kills Snape before the final conflict. I don?t know what all these rumours are about Voldemort kidnapping Ron, it?s a complete lie. Ron is killed by Bellatrix Lestrange in The Battle of Hogwarts, but Neville manages to finish off Bellatrix after Ron weakens her before his death. Harry Potter is not a horcrux. As I?ve already stated, Voldemort kills Snape. Voldemort is killed in the Department Of Mysteries. He baits Harry Potter about his parents, Sirius, Dumbledore and Ron. which turns out to be the worst thing Voldemort could have done. As Voldemort steps out into the circular bit with many doors, Harry Potter opens the locked door, and Voldemort is destroyed by the blinding light, which heals Harry Potter, who seems close to death (he does not die). The cover art shows Voldemort + Harry Potter at the Deathly Hallows, Harry Potter is attempting to summon Voldemort?s Horcrux, as Voldemort is doing his best to keep the enchantment in place. No-one loses a body part, no idea where that came from? Also Harry Potter does not get drunk whoever said that. Harry Potter does not lose his powers. What?s the deal with the dragon on the US deluxe cover? The trio fly on it to get to the Deathly Hallows. Only Harry Potter and Voldemort can fight on the Deathly Hallows, but this is not their final encounter. What?s happening on the UK kids cover? Gringotts. The trio are searching for the locket (it isnt there) but they get vital information on Ravenclaws book here. How?s the epilogue done? I didn?t like it. It was in the form of a newspaper article, a sort of ?Where Are They Now?? thing, 20 years on from the final showdown. You said Ron dies so what happens to Hermy at the end? As said, her love life isnt specified. But she becomes a Healer at St. Mungo?s. What?s Luna/Hagrid/Weasley twins/Neville?s fate? Becomes editor of Quibbler (her dad passes it on to her)/Remains at Hogwarts to this day/Weasley?s Wizard Wheezes becomes multinational/Herbology teacher at Hogwarts after Sprout?s death (old age she isnt killed) What happens to Voldy?s body in the end? Completely obliterated by the love from locked room. What are the horcruxes? How does Harry Potter find and destroy them? Nagini/Locket/Cup/Ravenclaws Book. Symbol on UK spine is a device that enables Harry Potter to locate ?soul fragments? if you will, Harry Potter can destroy them a lot more easily than Dumbledore. What?s the deal with the mirror? How does RAB and Kreacher come into the story? Sirius has left an almost ?voicemail? message on the mirror, to advise him on destroying the horcrux. Kreacher has to tell the trio (on Harry?s orders) about the history of the symbol and where to find it. What?s the lies of Dumbledore chapter about? Neon was right about this, this is to do with the plan with Snape. I don?t know if he got lucky because the Grindelwald thing isnt even close. What happens to all the teachers? Who?s new headmaster etc? McGonagall is new headmistress. What?s Harry?s fate in the end? Job etc? Becomes an almost freelance Auror but refuses to work for the MoM Chapter summaries Dark Lord Ascending another first chapter that is not Harry?s point of view very dark first death Bellatrix and Voldemort interact In Memoriam back to Harry?s point of view Dumbledore?s past Rita Skeeter appears here. Apparently, Harry is not pleased. The Dursleys Departing The Dursley?s leave Privet Drive The Seven Potters Harry, Ron, and Hermione are reunited Death Eater attack another death very intense Fallen Warrior another death one person loses a body part scenes afterwards set in the Burrow Apparently, Harry gets drunk! tells what happened with Ollivander The Ghoul in Pajamas general plan discussion all around Hermione is scary (lol) The Will of Albus Dumbledore Harry?s birthday! Ron gives him a funny gift. Minister of Magic is back Lupin is acting off The Wedding Weasley relatives, Luna?s father, and Krum all make ppearances Krum argues with Luna?s father over the symbol Dumbledore?s past again, which
What's wrong with my wife? There's something up with my wife. It's starting to get beyond the joke. See, the problem is that she has been going behind my back to say that my 'thinking is abnormal'... friends and family that she has told this to have reacted with shock and think there is something wrong with her. Some pay no attention to her, some think she has something wrong with her to talk about her husband that way. Actually, I can see why they would start to feel that I am the one trapped in a marriage to a weirdo. Now the reasons why she might want to say that: I'm searching for work but soon I will be working a part time job of 25-30hrs per week. It's not full time work yet though. I do most of the cleaning, it's just that she feels like she has to say something about it all the time in case I don't clean up. I usually don't stock up on food because she is at work all the time and can eat her meals with her tour group. So it's only necessary to buy the vegetables that we use for cooking on the days that she is home and we are cooking together. I would otherwise just put together something quick and easy for myself (saves on costs). I take her around for her medical checkups and remind her to take her medication. Get up at 7am every morning and make her breakfast before work. I don't clean the room much (something I know I can change) but I do the washing and try to do enough to maintain the house. I understand her frustrations about the work situation. This is something that I have been actively working on. But she keeps calling me idiot and now she is going behind my back to say bad things. She quickly gets over her temper and then she is being all nice and loving to my face. So why is she going behind me to say bad things about me? Retribution because I may have said some things about her to my mother back in China? Probably that's what it is about. I just wish she would hurry up and mature already! And you can't tell me it's a Chinese thing because I know of plenty of normal couples (mixed race and Chinese). For the record, everyone that meets me says I'm not only have a good manner, but they feel I'm very intelligent. Indeed, I have many good ideas but I feel like she is dragging me down (holding me back a bit) with her snide comments. Confronting her doesn't seem to solve any problems. If this is indeed a case of pathological narcissicism, can it be cured? She feels like she has to remind me to do anything - definitely not always the case. I procrastinate a bit but not enough to cause problems. I can still manage the time. If she keeps telling family there is something wrong in my brain, not only will it destroy our marriage, it will make me think she is setting me up to walk out once residency comes through. That seems crazy given that she is concentrating all her energy on getting setup though - saving hard for our first home. What can get her to stop this crazy behaviour? Just adding something small to this, someone has suggested that it is projection of low self esteem amongst her frustrations. That dropping the negative remarks on me are the products of low self esteem in that moment and the best way to respond is with a thick skin approach of letting them know that you are positive and they have low self esteem. What do you think?
Parents, how do you feel about the verdict in the Casey Anthony trial? Well, unless you have been living under a rock, you must know she was found not guilty. I just don't understand. All the lies she told (non-existant "Zanny" the nanny, her job that she had been fried from long ago, etc), the searches on her computer for "neck breaking" and "chloroform", her failure to report Caylee missing for so long while she was out having a good time, the fact that her mother said her car smelled like a dead body and then it was indeed found that there were traces of chloroform and decomposition....And can someone explain to me the deal about how they now say Caylee drowned? I still don't understand why if yor child tragically drowned you would wrap her mouth with duct tape, place a sticker on it (stickers duct tape and bags found in HER house)... I do agree that the whole thing has turned into a media circus. But just from the solid facts, not opinions, she seems guilty to me... I just don't get it. One of the jurors said they were "sick to their stomach" about the verdict. If everyone thinks she's guilty why wasn't she found guilty? What do you think about all this? (And please no rude comments and don't tell me it's in the wrong category. I genuinely want to see what other parents think...thanks) Belle- no one is forcing you to answer questions about it. i'm entitled to ask it if i want to. and i've only asked this 1 question about it, not fifty. and to the person who said they would rather see one guilty person walk free than an innocent person be executed- that is exactly why I am against the death penalty. Let em rot in jail. Death is quick...Sitting alone with just your thoughts of what you have done for years? That's punishment. whatever happened, she is guilty of something. if Caylee really did die "accidentally" and she taped up her own daughter, threw her in a bag and in the woods, THAT is disgusting. she should rot in jail for that alone ! for God's sakes she didn't wait 10 or 15 minutes she didn't even get reported missing for a MONTH! And if my child died accidentally, idk what I'd do but I sure as s*** wouldnt wrap her in duct tape with a sticker and toss her in the woods like garbage. I also wouldn't bang the cop that is supposed to be in charge of her investigation and go out partying every night. Call me crazy but hey that's just me. Her whole cock and bull story is irrelevant anyway because she did it...that's my opinion and i'm entitled to it just like you are entitled to yours so stop telling me I'm wrong.
What is the best way to learn the fear of the Lord? Here are a few of the things we may learn about how the fear of the Lord is received... But what is your understanding of "the instruction of Wisdom"? "He that refuses instruction despises his own soul: but he that hears reproof gets understanding. The fear of the LORD (Yehovah) is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility." (Pro 15:32-33) Here also, we see that the fear of the Lord (Yehovah) is not merely to be gained by the commands (precepts) of men: And Jehovah said, Because this people draw near Me with their mouth, and with their lips honor Me, but have removed their heart far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the command of men; therefore, behold, I will go on doing among this people, a wonder, even a wonder. For the wisdom of their wise ones shall perish, and the understanding of their intelligent ones shall be hidden. (Isaiah 29:13-14 MKJV) Lastly, we know that God understands the way of Wisdom, and that He knows its place... for when He prepared it and searched it out He "declared it!" God understands the way of it, and He knows its place. For He looks to the end of the earth, and sees under all the heavens; making a weight for the winds, and measuring out the waters by measure. When He made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning to thunder; then He saw it, and declared it; He prepared it, yea, and searched it out. And to man He said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, THAT IS WISDOM! And to depart from evil is understanding! (Job 28:23-28 MKJV) If God "declared it" (BOTH the understanding of the way of Wisdom, and the place where it dwells) as "the fear of Yehovah" (which means, "the Eternally Existing One")...then what is the best way for us to "hear it" and "receive it"? Bonus Q: If "to depart from evil is understanding" then do we understand MORE, the MORE we draw near to God with a true heart, and in full assurance of faith? BQ2: Can we indeed see how good it is to draw near to God with our hearts, simply also because those who are far from Him shall perish? "For lo, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all who go lusting away from You. And I, it is GOOD for me to DRAW NEAR to God; I have put my trust in Jehovah God, to declare all Your works." (Psa 73:27-28) BQ3: If it is indeed GOOD for us to draw near to God, wouldn't it likewise be considered EVIL for us to remove our hearts far from Him, in departing from the living God? Take heed, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. (Heb 3:12) For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. (Heb 10:37-39) Thank you, beloved soul, for considering this Q. and for sharing your wise-hearted answers, and may we indeed not be "of them who draw back unto perdition, but of them that believe unto the saving of the soul"! : ) (((Jeanine:))) Wonderful answer : ) (((Jeanine:))) Wonderful answer : ) (((Juice:))) I love you brother, after the many proofs that we have witnessed and observed, and from all the many Theophoric names in His word, such as seen in "Yeho-shua" we KNOW that His name is Yehovah : )
please read the beginning of my story and tell me what you think? As I pedaled my bike down the ritzy sidewalks of the subdivision, I gawked at mansions with immaculate lawns that screamed, “No kids here!” To ensure privacy, tall picket fences loomed in their backyards. Teens my age stared at me on my bike as they went by, being chauffeured in their Porsches. Finally, I found the house that I had been searching for all along: 503 Lilydale Lane. Yellow siding, white shutters, and a winding driveway completed the mansion’s exterior, while pine trees and a typical picket fence stood in the background. The whole scene was intimidating, even though this house was one of the more subtle ones. No toys on the front lawn or in the driveway gave any sign of children. And the only playground equipment that I saw was a porch swing swaying on the farmhouse style porch. Chairs with cushions that were too pretty to sit on occupied the front of the porch. This does not seem like a child’s house, I thought. Maybe I should go next door and ask if this house has any kids living here. So to save myself from the possible embarrassment of going to the wrong house for a baby-sitting job, I walked over to the neighbor’s house that was fancier than the first, and knocked on their door. “Hellooo!” the woman called as she opened her door. I gagged when I saw the sight of her. Dressed in pure Armani, she had a face that was obviously the result of too many Botox treatments. “Yeah, um, I was wondering if there are any kids living next door to you,” I asked, pointing to 503. “Why? I don’t like to give out my neighbor’s personal information,” the stranger declared, looking disdainfully at my JC Penney’s jeans. “Um, I was hired to baby-sit there, and I was just making sure I have the right address. It doesn’t really look like any kids live there.” The woman frowned at me, deciding whether or not to believe me. Sighing, she told me that indeed, yes, a little girl lives there. Glad to get our encounter over with, I mumbled thanks and quickly scooted back over to the right house, now five minutes late for my job. The gold doorknocker loudly banged against the door as I let it drop. Ten seconds passed, and no one came. Sighing, I knocked again, this time more forcefully. Oh…my...gosh, I thought. I better have not humiliated myself in this uptight neighborhood just to find out that no one is home. Well, anyways, third time’s the charm. I backed up, grabbed the doorknocker, and let it really fly into the door. Thank God, I thought, as a pretty, redheaded teen a few years older than me opened the door, cracking her gum. “You were supposed to be here, like, seven minutes ago,” she whined, checking her cell phone for the time. “I have a date that I’m supposed to be on right now, thanks to you.” “Yeah, sorry about this, I wasn’t sure that…um, never mind,” I apologized. “But I’m here now, so if you give me the instructions, you can leave.” “’Kay, come on in, then.” In a very quick five minutes, I learned that she was Trissie, Trixie’s older sister, whom I was about to baby-sit. I also learned that further instructions were on the counter and Trixie was in her playroom. Then it was just Trixie and I, although I had no idea who Trixie was, or where the playroom was. Starting down a long hallway , I peeked into rooms to check for Trixie. Turning out, it was the last one of the hallway that was the little princess’s playroom. As I entered the enormous room, I gaped at a plasma TV, a Wii, two computers, dollhouses, life-size dolls, Barbies, stuffed animals, and a Little Tikes play table. Sitting in the middle of it all, was little Trixie. Dressed better than me, the four-year old girl in a puffy pink stared at me. In a pink dress, brown leggings, and matching pink ballet flats, Trixie was dressed better than me. here's more: I rolled my eyes at the fact that I knew I was going to have trouble with this spoiled little girl. Then, gathering my nerve, I decided that Trixie couldn’t intimidate me. “Hey, I’m Caroline, and I’m gonna be your baby-sitter. You’re Trixie, right?” Apparently Trixie didn’t care who I was, for she kept on playing with her Barbies. Trying to interact with her, I picked up one of her discarded Barbies and started to dress her up in a blue chiffon dress. “You’re not allowed to play with that,” Trixie told me flatly. Sighing, I carefully set the Barbie down and told the little girl that I would start dinner since it was already 5:30 pm. According to Trissie’s instructions, I was supposed to heat up some Kraft macaroni and cheese (Blue’s Clue’s style) and give it to Trixie at promptly 5:45 pm. But just finding the kitchen took five minutes alone since I couldn’t disturb the little diva with directions.
please read the beginning of my story(continued) and tell me what you think? As I pedaled my bike down the ritzy sidewalks of the subdivision, I gawked at mansions with immaculate lawns that screamed, “No kids here!” To ensure privacy, tall picket fences loomed in their backyards. Teens my age stared at me on my bike as they went by, being chauffeured in their Porsches. Finally, I found the house that I had been searching for all along: 503 Lilydale Lane. Yellow siding, white shutters, and a winding driveway completed the mansion’s exterior, while pine trees and a typical picket fence stood in the background. The whole scene was intimidating, even though this house was one of the more subtle ones. No toys on the front lawn or in the driveway gave any sign of children. And the only playground equipment that I saw was a porch swing swaying on the farmhouse style porch. Chairs with cushions that were too pretty to sit on occupied the front of the porch. This does not seem like a child’s house, I thought. Maybe I should go next door and ask if this house has any kids living here. So to save myself from the possible embarrassment of going to the wrong house for a baby-sitting job, I walked over to the neighbor’s house that was fancier than the first, and knocked on their door. “Hellooo!” the woman called as she opened her door. I gagged when I saw the sight of her. Dressed in pure Armani, she had a face that was obviously the result of too many Botox treatments. “Yeah, um, I was wondering if there are any kids living next door to you,” I asked, pointing to 503. “Why? I don’t like to give out my neighbor’s personal information,” the stranger declared, looking disdainfully at my JC Penney’s jeans. “Um, I was hired to baby-sit there, and I was just making sure I have the right address. It doesn’t really look like any kids live there.” The woman frowned at me, deciding whether or not to believe me. Sighing, she told me that indeed, yes, a little girl lives there. Glad to get our encounter over with, I mumbled thanks and quickly scooted back over to the right house, now five minutes late for my job.

Federal Agent Impersonation? I'm trying to figure out if I am wasting my time or not. A few months back, this guy needed to serve my boyfriend papers for court - he drove all the way down from NY to MD in order to do so. Now, instead of just serving the papers this is what happened: He took a wanted poster to my boyfriends job asking about him - he wasnt at work yet. So he came to my home looking for him (my boyfriend had just left for work). Didn't believe me that my bf was not there so came in a searched the house. Stated he had a warrant for his arrest and would be arresting him. Refused to let me call my bf to come back to the house, then demanded that if I called him I would have to do so in his presence. Went on about how FBI and police protocol differs when I made mention of there having to be some proper protocol if there was indeed a warrant. Other then him previously mentioning he was a federal agent, I assumed he worked for FBI (especially with him going on about the difference in protocol). He corrects me, shows me a badge and states US Fugitive Services. He leaves my house and ends up going back to my bf's job where he tries to arrest my bf. My bf asks to see the warrant he flashes a paper (not a warrant). That is when he ends up serving the court summons. He pulls away in a vehicle that also had flashing lights on it. Also, he left his (extremely fake) wanted poster at my place of residence. A week later at the court hearing (a child support hearing), his wife (who was there during the situation and who needed the papers served to my bf) stated her husband was a bounty hunter. Now, mind you - THERE WAS NEVER A WARRANT, my bf DID NOT SKIP BAIL, this dude crossed state lines and did not alert local authorities as to his needing to make an arrest, he was in regular clothes and all complete with badge, cuffs (which he came close to cuffing my bf until my bf took his hand away). My question - is this really impersonation? I have sought advice and all except one person say this is the case and should be bought to trial. The one person said he was in the right and could do this. My bf pressed charges and this guy did not show up. Not sure why, but he didn't. Any opinions or insight would be helpful because I do not want to waste my time going in the wrong direction.
Eating rice with coconut head? Hi, Just wanna know, what do you/your soul really 'eat' actually? Yesterday, while surfing on net searching for something, I landed at one website sharing Islamic quotes and history. At the same time, there's a visitor's corner for them to share or warn others of something. And one share from visitors got my attention and made me laughed>> This visitor Z was asking his friend M to go out and eat. He is giving his friend a meal treat. Both are males and muslims. Upon reaching the foodstall they chose, both ordered the food. While waiting the food to be served, they talked. Visitor's friend M, is quite a religious and pious person. While talking, M suddenly saw a black creature uriNaTing in one of the pots consisting of cooked/cooking food. He immediately cancelled the order. When asked by Z y he did that after leaving the place, he answered that he just saw a black creature or a jinn urinating. Which means, to him, maybe the stall owner's business isn't that good, and he used a "black magic" to prosper his business. The stall owner will be given something from the medium whom he sought help to use, chant or whatever, and the medium of course, won't tell how he makes the stall owner's business improved. When I read this, two things come in mind. First, how DELICIOUS food that mix with DIRT from satan taste like that makes them coming back for more. Followed by, XD, how easily the rotten/imbecile/rusty heart accept news from satan (intention, pleas) and it spread wild, like wild fires. Juz like in hadeeth telling that "hasad" burns the good deeds like wild fire. XD If you can remember, if you are not senILe, before the "online satan" came in May 2010 to spread boolsheet news, I was in and always said something about a creature. And my intention of doing that is to show and advice other Questioners to give them some encouragement to not lose hope or to show there's something wOrse than them, so don't give up. WITHOUT stating WHO the person is. No other intention. And NO ONE BOTHERS who the person is I was talking about. BuTT, the way the "online satan" tried to find support was sooo unbelievably horrid and PATHETIC. And the news was EASILY accepted to insult me as if I was wrong! Why's that? It reminds me of one proverb>> "Bad news travels fast." "Bad news" means news about "bad" things like accidents, death, illness etc. People tend to tell this type of news quickly. But "good news" (passing an exam, winning some money, getting a job etc) travels more slowly. ~ Website Editor Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good. ~ Lao Tzu So, it's not wrong of me to challenge them (or you) to swear upon Koran to prove their 'hOly' words by the REAL Holiest words from Allah (Haayu Qaayuum). Evading time-wasting, long 'explaination' or DENIAL from any sides. So, who this morning juz 'eat' delicious 'food' from other kinds of satanic contribution? lmao!! Gud day! [Ambiya 21:110] "Indeed Allah knows whatever is said, and knows all what you conceal." Volume 8, Book 77, Number 614: Narrated 'Abdullah: When taking an oath, the Prophet very often used to say, "No, by Him Who tuRns the hearts." ~ Bukhari If You are honest & frank, people may cheat U; BE Honest Anyway. What You spend years building, Someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway If you find Happiness, They may be Jealous; (Ehem, Fire element pls XD) Be Happy Anyway. The Good You do today, People will often forget tommorrow; Do Good Anyway. You See, In the Final Analysis, It is between You & ALLAH It was never between You & them anyway! p.s. I'm not a satan who wear a musooli robe, like that evil n hideous slot and gang...lahanah. The clear facts is, they are blind, deaf and mute to say, hear and see the truth. Juz like the kaffirs, + moslems. Even after telling them that I'm not angry, still they perceive me as angry and try to 'advise' (boolsheets). But when someone just say insulting words, they become happy. What does that show? A true attitude of Prophet pbuh or a sAtanIc hideous pig? And it's NOT because of they are a group following Prophet, but it's because they are with the group with STATUS and MONEY. They just use religion to lace the ugly facts/desires about them. Abu Hurairah (May allah be pleased with ihm) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "May he be miserable, the worshipper of the dinar and dirham, and the worshipper of the striped silk cloak. If he is given anything, he is satisfied; but if not, he is unsatisfied". [Al-Bukhari] ~ Chapter 55 No 468 That's why they jump into fit anger when I innocently just wanna paste on this quote, without any bad thinkiong to insinuate or anything, just for my own reminder. I didn't realized their DEFEAT until I checked the cause of their outburst is this>> Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth. ~ Albeit Eistein XD What makes me say they lose is because they keep on stressing about mOneY after reading this quote. While the people who have a retarded mind/heart are easily affected by the news because of mOney and worldly pleasures...XP. masha Allah...so horrid!
Need a menacing sounding name for my novel? Just a quick overview of the novel I'm writing: It's about Nephilim (or Shadowhunters) - a somewhat superior human race gifted with the Sight, allowing them to see through glamours and see into the downworld, as well as see demons. It is their job to hunt demons and keep the mundanes safe and ignorant. One of my main characters is going to be transferred to a Hall (living area with other Shadowhunters) because of his past, which won't be revealed until the end. He'll be followed my a sort of humanoid demon (formed from an incubus that was murdered/destroyed) that has the ability to possess a body and be in the daylight because he's not a solid form. I need a name for this demon/incubus guy. Any suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated! Here is a short excerpt of a part he's in, if it might help with coming up with names: He pulled off his shirt and let it drop to the floor as he walked to the bathroom. He examined his shoulder in the mirror above the sink, hopeful that the white, jagged scar had faded some. It hadn't. He touched it, feeling the raised skin with just the tips of his fingers, and wondered if it would always be so noticeable. Reentering the bedroom, he scooped up his black duffel bag, tossed it onto the bed and began unpacking. His clothing hardly varied – a few dark t-shirts, a few pairs of jeans. He paused, realizing he'd brought nothing to sleep in. He thought for a moment, deciding that boxers would do, and resumed unpacking. Underneath the clothes were a few paperbacks, necessary toiletries, and a black box that held Gazardiel, the seraph dagger he'd received from the Washington Hall's blacksmith the day he left. She had named it for him, after “the angel of new beginnings”. He smiled, remembering the woman. “All you're good at is fighting, so take advantage of it with a decent weapon.” she'd said. A soft thump sounded from outside the window and he snapped to attention, immediately retrieving the small iron dagger he kept in his right boot. He approached the window cautiously, anticipating a hungry troll or bored faerie, since demons couldn't survive in the daylight. As he neared the window, his eyes searching for any sign of movement, he felt the energy around him suddenly change, the air dramatically dropping in temperature. He stood still, the tiniest hairs on the back of his neck pricking, and glanced around him. He knew the feeling; the sudden coldness, the feeling of electricity prickling on every inch of his body. He shut his eyes and gripped his dagger until his knuckles turned white and his muscles quivered, focusing all of his energy on remaining in his current state of mind. He bowed his head, his dark hair falling into his eyes as he desperately gritted his teeth, clenching the fist of his free hand until his fingernails left red slits in his palm. After a moment, he let the corner of his mouth quirk into his infamous, smug grin. “Better luck next time,” he spoke. The air around him slowly returned to normal as a silhouette began to take shape, shimmering into focus directly in front of the window. “Indeed, next time.” The voice was deep, echoing and familiar – just as he'd expected. The words were quiet yet loud, said both in his mind and beside his ears, across the room and behind him. They seeped into the pores of his skin and tried one last time to take hold of him. He grimaced, warding off the attack. The voice chuckled low as the silhouette shimmered back out of focus until nothing remained but an echo of laughter. Just to be clear, I'm not asking for criticism of my writing (I have others ready to do that for me!) I'm just asking for name suggestions. I own copyright to all writing posted! Thank you!
Hi everybody ! Can you correct this text in english (I'm italian)? Hello ! I'm an italian guy and I'd like to know if this text I wrote in english is correct or if there are some mistake...can you help me? Thanks a lot ;) That day I felt particularly strange. I had got an upset stomach and I was quite short-tempered since that morning I couldn’t go with my friends to the new commercial centre because I had to go to visit my grandfather. I didn’t understand the reason about that visit, but my father urged me a lot, saying me that a day I would have understood. I left the house and I started thinking about the last time I saw my grandfather: I was too young to remember him. I just remembered his black moustache and his big glasses over his huge nose. During the journey my father told me some anecdote about his childhood, describing that period like the best he had ever lived. Unfortunately, for job reasons, he had to move to another city, in another country, so that their relationship suffered a rupture they weren’t able to rectify any more. Basically I wasn’t so sorry to go to visit my grandfather: I missed the idea to have a grandfather: my mother was parentless and my father’s mother dead when I was only five years old. As soon as I arrived in front of my grandfather house I felt a strange sensation. His house was enormous and he had also an incredible garden, with some fountain strewn here and there. I slowly approached the main door astonished of the beautiful residence he had. I just knocked at the door when an elegant gentleman said to my father and me to come in and to make us comfortable. The atmosphere was mostly heavy and the air I breathed didn’t help me to feel at ease. Suddenly I heard a voice coming from the near room which was calling my father. He gave me a look as saying “wait here”. I didn’t move, I was too busy to think about that situation to move. I waited some minutes. Then the butler beckoned me to take a seat in the living room, where my father and my grandfather were waiting for me. I got in the room rather frightened and I started perceiving my grandfather: he was a tall and sturdy man, his moustache was grey and his blue eyes scanned me from my feet to my head. I was embarrassed and I didn’t know what to say. I had a seat near my father and after some moment the butler brought us the tea. “You grow up - said my grandfather to me – indeed many years have passed”. I showed a shy smile without saying anything. I noticed a strange accent, similar to my father’s one. “What would you like to do after the college?” asked me. “I’d like to work in the field of economy” I answered with a pride tone. We continued talking about my school carrier and my future and he seemed to be interested in what I was saying. We were drinking our tea and my grandfather turned his head watching through the window as if he was thinking about something of his past. I finished my tea by then and my father was glancing through the local newspaper. All of a sudden my grandfather stood up and left the room for some minute. Then he came back the living room with a strange box in his hands. I looked at me as if he was searching for something in particular then, after a deep sigh, he stretched his arms and gave to me that old box. He didn’t say anything, he only looked at me with a particular glance after that he went away. My father told me it was time to come home and I followed him toward the main door. That night I wasn’t able to sleep: I thought all night long of that strange meeting.
Am I being too sensitive because he wouldn't give it to me? My fiance never remembers dates, except his birthday or obvious holidays like Christmas.He even forgot my birthday. His parents' birthday is next week, so I thought I'd be nice and buy birthday cards to send to them. I searched for days to find the "perfect" cards for them and finally decided to use blank ones and write a nice sentiment in them. I was very happy and geared up to send them. When I asked him for the address, he said," Oh yeah, that's right, their birthday is next week." (so indeed he had forgotten). He became very guarded about the address and said that they are old and senile and that they wouldn't remember who I am,( I understood that) so I said," Of course you will sign your name on them too." He quickly changed the subject and got off the phone. I am hurt because the way I was brought up, we always made a big deal about birthdays,(even if all we could send was a card) it is about recognizing the loved one's special day. I went through a lot to find the cards and to create the "perfect" birthday poems to go into them. I wanted to do something really special because as his parents they are special to me. He just shot down my kind heartedness like it was nothing and I don't understand why. I feel like maybe he is ashamed of me or doesn't want his parents to know about me. Because he is forgetful about dates, isn't it my job to help him remember little things like this? Am I being too sensitive here? What's wrong with just sending a birthday greeting? Please help.
I'm 50, F, no job, no prospects, and a resume. My field for 15 yrs has been clerical/data entry.? I am signed up with all the local agencies, check craigslist.com every day, set up on Monster, Hot Jobs, Indeed.com and several others. I have lowered my starting wage, and am getting desperate as my unemployment ran out last week. I have been searching for 6 mo now and no luck, seems that all any company wants is a 20-something with big u know what's. It seems like experience, dependability, and someone eager to work doesn't count for much now days. I don't mean to sound sour or bitter, but it's getting rather depressing to go in for an interview and when u get contacted back or u call back, the jobs always been filled. Any one with any kind of suggestions, ideas or solutions, PLEASE respond, I'm getting desperate.
I'm a college grad, I want to move to NJ, I want a job there... what do I do? ok, I live in Queens, NY, finished college last year in Manhattan, major in environmental studies and work part time making $15/hr. I am 24 and single. But I hate living here, hate my job, hate the crowd, hate the insane costs etc etc. The job search for the job I want, lab tech at a environmental/chemical/scientific company, has been awful in NYC, either my resume is ignored or no ads at all and now the last interview I followed up and they have hiring freeze! I even tried other job ads but no one calls back, etc. Nothing's wrong with my resume or interview skills. I search on indeed.com and see several lab jobs in Jersey and even Philadelphia, and it seems like they are desperate for people with science background... I was thinking that the metro area, places near the PATH are good places to live but how do I go about this?? How do I get the job first? What do I put on my resume & cover letter? Just thinking about this is scary, I've never moved before... I don't have a car, or a license (yet) but I wanna get out of NYC!! I live with my parents and they don't wanna leave NYC so I'll most likely be on my own. I'm NOT going to grad school in NYC either, haven't decided what to study or where I'll go. Ideally, I'd like to get the job first then rent a cheap apartment. I do not care for waterfront views or indoor gyms, a very basic apt in a good area is fine with me. And what about roommates?? Please help! thank you

Can anyone recommend a site for locating a job search agent or a site which is geared toward professional...? Can anyone recommend a site for locating a job search agent or a site which is geared toward professional non-profit staffing. I am a professional with experience tutoring mathematics and applied mathematics in physical science. I also have an associate's degree in computer information systems. I am looking for good sites which have job leads for a hard worker who isn't interested in a high salary, but is interested in finding employment with an agency which cares about its employees. I am most comfortable in higher education environments, but I can work in any information sector position. I have experience writing stand-alone software as well as Internet applications. I am open to learning new technologies. I have already been searching www.monster.com and www.indeed.com on a regular basis, but both of these sites are geared toward high salary job seekers. I am seeking employment in a job which salaries from 15K-30K. I would rather have job security than salary.
I have been looking for a job for months. Are there any other sites/agencies I can use (no work at home jobs)? I have been looking since I graduated from college in May. I have a Bachelor of Science in biology, but I'm willing to work in any field. I have put in quite a few applications, but I'm not getting much back. I'm also having trouble finding a lot of things that I'm qualified to do; there are plenty of listings, but not many that pertain to anything I do. I have used monster.com, careerbuilder.com, al.com (local newspaper's site), craigslist, indeed.com and collegegrad.com. I searched gov. jobs, but I don't qualify to do anything listed there for Birmingham. Are there other sites or agencies that I can use? (Please no spam/work from home jobs.) Are there any other things I can do? I know the market is tough right now, but it seems like I should be able to get *something*. NO SPAM PLEASE. :)
can I still do my taxes if I had no job? I have been without a job this year. I have indeed been searching very hard. I have two children. My best friend told me that I must still do my taxes even through I have not worked. I told her that I can't do taxes without a job. Can someone please help me resolve this.
Sites to apply for jobs in UK.? Hi there, I want to know few sites where I can apply to companies in UK. Keeping in mind I am in India. For eg. some sites that work here in India that give you best result are www.naukri.com, www.monsterindia.com and www.indeed.com. I only want 3-4 sites maximum which are the best for the search of jobs in UK. Thanks.
how long to wait to in inquire about resume status? I hate job searching. Everywhere I sent my resume to seems like a dead end. Many jobs are posted on craigslist, indeed, or monster...the regular job sites. Most companies are 'private', so I have no clue if I am applying to the same job over and over on different sites. How long should I wait before emailing the companies I do know about to see what my status is? Or should I call? This is so frustrating. I've been without a full time job since march...
simplyhired.com and indeed.com - How/Where do they store their data? I know both job search engines either web crawl or collect data from the top job boards through an XML feed, but how do they store/index their data? XML database? mySQL? SQL Server? I figure since simplyhired.com is using PHP, they're probably using either mySQL or XML database, but I didn't think those DBs were powerful/fast enough for them. If anyone knows exactly what DB either use, I'd love to hear.
Panama (The country job search)? What are the best websites to find jobs in Panama and Spain (i.e. the Panamanian and Spanish equivalent of Monster, Career builder or Indeed.com)??? Is there a list of the Call Centers in the urban area around Panama City, Panama??
Where online can I search for a job? I have a BS and QA Lab experience...I go to Craigslist.org and Monster.com as well as Careerbuilder and Indeed frequently...where else is there to look? How did you get your job...I mean what source?
Does anyone know of any good job search websites? My fiance has been out of work for almost 3 weeks now. I have been picking up as many shifts as I can and today was my first day off in over 2 weeks. He has gone to all the obvious websites like monster.com and indeed.com. He is a mechanic. Our family needs him to be back to work asap. I cannot financially afford to pay all the bills with my income alone. We have a 4 year old and just moved into this apartment in November. I love it here and I don't want to lose it. Any ideas on how to find a good job? Every place he has called has said they are not hiring! We don't know what else to do. I don't want to work from on home. I just want to know if there is anymore job search websites. I have a degree in pharmacy and that's what I want to do. My fiance also has a degree in automotive technology and he wants to use it. Anyone know any good websites to search for jobs?
Where can I look online for arts jobs in New York City?? I am relocating to NYC and I am looking for work in the arts (specifically music, but I'm open to other arts fields as well)...I have a background in Classical Music (Piano, Composition) and I have experience working in Music Business and Arts Administration. I already frequently check the NYFA site, Craigslist, Backpage, and Indeed (in addition to the usual monster, hotjobs, careerbuilder, etc)...Can anyone tell me of any sites, maybe local ones?...that are good for searching for arts jobs in the city? Thanks so much!!!
Is this a scam I got into? I have been job searching on Indeed.com and found a Data Entry position available. I applied online sending my resume to them. I later got an email asking for an online interview and after talking for an 2 hours, I got the job. I was told I would be recieving emails with information to put into quickbooks and send back by a certain time. I would be getting paid $600 bucks a week. Is this real? I didnt give or wasnt asked for any personal info beside my address and phone number. What do you think?
Do Marketing Jobs/Positions Exist Anymore? Doesn't Seem Like It!!!? Are there any marketing jobs in san diego or in california in general? I am a recent graduate and barely can find any. I use craigslist, careerbuilder/indeed.com, monster.com, yahoo hot jobs, directly go to corporate web sites, but no luck. It seems like EVERY marketing job is 99% of the time for a "manager", "director", "senior", or some other high position, are there ANY entry-level marketing jobs? I know they are things like marketing analyst, marketing assistant, assistant brand manager, marketing associate/coordinator, etc., but they are barely any. I am willing to go to other states but it seems like it's the same thing over and over, garbage entry level jobs flooding job sites that are door-to-door labelled as "marketing", or manager jobs that I'm obviously not qualified for, what am I supposed to do? Is it the economy? This major? Or something else? I haven't found any schools in California that I can enroll in an MBA because they all require you work first, average age of entrance is normally 27-28 with 4-6 years of work experience. Unless I do an online degree which I wouldnt want to do. *Why are there more managerial positions than entry level? What other functions in a business should I look after? I also try product development, PR, communications, etc. *How can I work for online marketing firms that require things like Search engine marketing experience when I didnt learn that stuff in school? Should I get a certificate in it? Learn it somewhere?

Politicians and their Illusion of Power? Take a look a give your opinion:? Critics accuse libertarians of reveling in government failures. Yes and No. No one is pleased to see the destruction caused by government policies, whether small scale, as when a tighter regulation causes business failures, or large scale, as when wars destroy life for millions. The kernel of truth to the claim is this: the failure of government illustrates something extremely important about the structure of reality that most people are likely to forget. It comes down to this: statesmen and public officials, no matter how powerful they may be, cannot finally control social outcomes. If I might offer a summary of a point emphasized in all of Mises's works: the structure of society and world affairs generally is shaped by human actions, stemming from imaginative human minds working out individual subjective valuations, and their interactions with the material world, which is governed by laws that are beyond human control. What that means is that you and I cannot on our own, even if we have maximum political power, control all of human society, and especially not its economic side. Let's first consider an example from current popular wisdom about the manufacturing base. Many products that were once made in the US – thinking here of televisions, pianos, firecrackers, plastics, and bicycles--are now made in China. This has caused a great deal of alarm--all unwarranted, so far as sound economics is concerned. But let's say we have the ambition to change this social outcome. Anyone is free to build a bicycle and attempt to market it to willing buyers. Let's say you rent some property, hire the workers, acquire all the necessary capital, and then put your bike on sale. In order to cover your costs and make a profit, you find that you must price your bikes above the going market price. Maybe you can persuade people that you have a special product that is better than the others. Or maybe yours will sit on the floor. Or maybe you will have to lower your price and you will find that your revenue does not cover your costs, and you have to go out of business. No matter what you decide, this much is clear: you are not dictating the outcome. You wanted to build bikes, but it is the consuming public that decides whether it is in our interest to do so. There is nothing you have to say about it. You cannot make people fork over the money. I would venture to suggest that you will ultimately come to the conclusion that you should be doing other things besides attempting to keep up with other businesses that have lower labor and capital costs and hence can make a profit through selling goods at much lower prices. But let's say you decide that you don't want to bow to the realities of the market. Instead you lobby Congress to tax everyone who buys a bike from overseas. The tax is high enough that you can continue to charge exorbitant prices for your bikes. You make a profit. But at what expense? The consumers who buy your bikes have less income left over for other pursuits, whether consumption, saving, or investment. The workers you are employing are being kept from other pursuits as well, and the capital you are consuming is not available for other projects. Ultimately, you have skewed the entire economic system in a way that benefits you at everyone else's expense. Others have found a way to do what you are doing much more efficiently, but because you lobbied and got your way, society is prevented from benefiting from others' innovations. And how long must this distorted system last? That you managed to tax everyone to benefit you does nothing to change the reality that others can do what you are doing more cheaply and better. Do workers really want to be employed in an industry that is something of an artifice? Do consumers really want to pay high prices just so that you can continue to indulge in your bike-making passion? Clearly not. At some point, people will catch on to the racket, and find other ways to go about acquiring bikes. Maybe they will exploit loopholes in the law that allow them to import bike parts. An industry of do-it-yourself bike building becomes a threat to your profits. Or perhaps black markets will take over. Or maybe people will turn away from bikes altogether and starting trying out new forms of informal transportation. Skateboards are fitted with handlebars. Gas-powered scooters develop a peddle-only option. The very definition of a bike comes into question. Increasingly, enforcement will have to become ever more onerous. At some point in this game, we face a choice. We can continue to impose an ever more absurd and preposterous system of regulations and protections just so that you can benefit, or we can bow to reality and let in foreign bikes for consumer purchase. Let's say your tariff lasts a year or even ten years. What will it accomplish? In that time, vast resources are wasted. Consumers of all sorts are exploited. Capital is consumed in economically wasteful ways. People are pushed around and the police powers of the state grow. It does society no good at all. My point is that whatever the fate of the so-called manufacturing base, there is nothing in the long run that can be done to turn it in one direction or another. The fate of manufacturing is in the hands of consumers at large, and subject to the laws of economics which no man can repeal. It is the outcome of human choice. Now, the Bush administration has thought otherwise and imposed a huge range of protections to benefit its supporters and people who the administration hoped would become its supporters. The result has been to skew the world economy, hobble markets, delay inevitable transitions, and impose massive social costs. What this example shows is that governments are not omnipotent. Many try to be, and no government is liberal by nature. But there are limits. Governments bump up against human valuations time and again. Even in the highly rarified event of a despotic government that rules a population unanimously in support of despotism, government still bumps up against the structure of the world, which resists control. Let us consider another example. Let us say that government desires a strong dollar. But it still wants to print dollars and ship them around the world. In this case, there is nothing that government can do to insure the dollar’s strength against depreciation. Nothing. This is due to the laws of economics. All else equal, the value of a currency in terms of goods falls as its quantity increases. Governments that desire otherwise can only shake their fist in anger. The same is true domestically. The government wants economic recovery before a recession has fully run its course. It thereby drops interest rates, spends vast amounts of money to gin up demand, and otherwise encourages as much consumption as possible. These tactics can result in some short-term gains but it doesn't work in the long run. These tactics deplete savings and capital and weaken the foundation for solid future growth. The issue of the price of prescription drugs will be a big one in this coming campaign. The problem is high prices. Popular wisdom has it that this is because of the greed of the medical industry. The truth is that these high prices are partly a result of subsidized demand due to Medicare and Medicaid, as well as the restricted supply due to patent laws. In other words, the political class is responsible for the high prices. It's true that the pharmaceutical industry is not complaining. In fact, high prices are precisely what its friends in government want to bring about. They may regret that the poor have to pay the higher prices, but not enough to do anything substantive about it. Prices would plummet today if patents were repealed, free trade (including re-importation) allowed, and subsidized demand ended by the abolition of Medicare and Medicaid. But no one wants to consider that solution, so Congress creates ever more intrusive programs designed to control prices, keeping the prices high enough to satisfy the industry but low enough to reduce the political clamor. The problem is that the government can't have it both ways. It cannot reward its friends with high prices and keep consumers happy at the same time. The current system with its large subsidies is only creating massive new liabilities in programs that cannot be funded in perpetuity without massive tax increases that no one is willing to advocate. Absent tax increases, the only answer is inflation, which taxes us in other ways. One way to think about government is as a rat wandering through a maze with no escape. There is no magic solution to getting around basic economic laws. All lunches must be paid for by someone, prices cannot be both high and low at the same time, and all attempts to coerce generate counter-reactions. In short, there is no alternative universe in which the fantasies of politicians come true. But try telling that to the political class. The last thing they want to hear is that their power is limited, that their will is not a way. They are prone to believe that membership in the political class comes with the privilege of shaping the world to their liking. If you read the social science literature, you find the same error at work on a nearly universal basis. Very rarely does anyone come along and say: great theory but it has nothing to do with reality. You are just playing intellectual games. Socialism was really nothing other than an intellectual game. People from the ancient world to the present conjured up some vision of how they would like the world to work and then advocated a series of measures of how to achieve it. Mises and his generation explained that their vision was fundamentally at odds with reality. In the real world, capital must have price rooted in exchange of private property in order for it to be employed in its highest-valued capacity. It solves nothing to say that everyone should own capital collectively. This was the equivalent of pointing out that the Emperor was wearing no clothes. In some ways, what we do as commentators on economic affairs is to follow this model again and again. The other day, a candidate for president suggested that the answer to our economic woes was more regulation. He had it all figured out in his mind. Immediately, free-market economists from all over the world joined forces to point out that his goal of higher economic productivity could not be achieved this way. It was an unwelcome message but one necessary to deliver regardless. The experience of Iraq has provided myriad examples of the same. The US wants to pump oil. It wants to start factories, stores, and commerce generally. But it refuses to put private owners in charge. As a result, all its military muscle has amounted to very little at great expense. It is a classic example of how governments fail when they try to fight against forces they cannot control. Factories in Iraq that have gone into operation have done so without support of the occupying government. And think of the war generally. At the outset, the visionaries in the Bush administration imagined that Iraq was really a very simple problem to solve. It only needed to be decapitated and the magic dust of the US presence would otherwise create an orderly and prosperous society that would be a model for the region. The reality hit. Crime was unleashed. Feuding political factions clamored for control. Production stopped. Society flew into chaos. This was not because of the absence of the political leadership. It was because of the presence of foreign martial law in a country that was seething in resentment against the US. Time and again, we have seen evidence that the Iraq war only accomplished the opposite of its aims. Its purpose was to find weapons, punish terrorism, and bring order to the region. Instead it has fueled terrorism and brought new levels of disorder to the region. Not having done that, the war is then re-defined in terms that reflect whatever government has done: namely to toss out and capture Saddam, In this sense, the war was like any other government program: bringing about the opposite of its stated intentions and doing so at greater expense. Thus do we see the intersection between foreign and domestic policy. Government is famously ham-handed at home and similarly incompetent abroad. No matter how much government claims that it is master of the universe, it constantly confronts forces beyond its control. In all the talk of the calamity of this war, never forget the broader picture: what an incredible opportunity was squandered after the end of the Cold War. The US had emerged as the universally acknowledged ideological victor in that forty-year struggle. That the Cold War was not actually an ideological struggle so much as a classic standoff between two empires is irrelevant for understanding the implications of this fact: totalitarian communism collapsed while the free economic system of the market remained standing in total triumph. The world was ready for a new period of genuine liberalism, and looking to the US. On the verge of an amazing period of technological advance, we were perfectly situated to lead the way. There had never been a time in US history when George Washington's foreign policy made more sense. A beacon of liberty. Trade with all, belligerence toward none. Commercial engagement with everyone, political engagement with as few as possible. The hand of friendship. Good will. This was the prescription for peace and freedom. It was within our grasp. Our children might have grown up in a world without major political violence. A world of peace and plenty. It could have been. But it was not to be, mainly because George W.'s father decided that he wanted to go down in the history books for doing something big and important. What else but war? The US was now the world's only superpower and itching for some fight somewhere. It's a bit like a playground filled with wimps and one boy with a black belt in karate who never absorbed the lesson in how and where to use his fighting skills. And then there was this oil-drilling dispute between Iraq and Kuwait, and Bush decided to intervene. Twelve years later, the US is still there, causing unrelenting havoc for those poor people. Here at home we are given constant examples of the huge gulf that separates government's perceptions of itself versus the reality. The Bush administration wanted to give the steel industry a boost. The administration established tariffs, which amounts to a tax on all consumers of steel. American manufacturers faced a choice of paying the tax to buy imported steel or paying the higher prices for domestic steel. Those who could do neither had to cut back production and hiring in other areas. Other consumers had to pay higher prices, which diverted income from other pursuits. As for the steel industry itself, the tariffs did nothing to help it achieve greater efficiency, which is the only way to deal with more efficient competitors. They only ended up subsidizing inefficiency. Even then, it wasn't enough. During the period of tariffs, the industry dramatically consolidated in order to become more efficient in other ways. Once faced with the prospect of trade wars, the ultimate cost of protectionism, the Bush administration pulled back and repealed the new tariffs, thereby landing the industry in exactly the same predicament it was in before the tariffs were past. As for commercial society as a whole, it paid dramatically higher steel costs, and faced sporadic shortages, for absolutely no reason. Faced with failure on every front, the Bush administration did the right thing and repealed the tariffs. Not that it was honest about the failure. Instead it claimed its policy worked so well that it could now repeal it. This is like a physician prescribing poison and then changing his mind. He can't but try to put the best spin on it, I suppose. But what a beautiful example of the powerlessness of government this is! The Bush administration wanted to save American industry and only ended up vastly raising the costs of doing all forms of business. More cutbacks are inevitable as steel production shifts to other countries and the US finds its comparative advantage elsewhere. Much legislative energy is poured into helping some groups gain favorable treatment in the workplace. I'm thinking here of the usual litany of victim groups as identified according to race, ability, sex, national origin, religion, and the like. Have these laws actually helped the group in question? The results are mixed at best. If you send people out into the workforce with a high price attached to their heads – and the prospect of a lawsuit is a very high price indeed – you only make employers less likely to hire them. I don’t doubt that some people have been helped by these laws, but they are not the people most in need of help. Today, the disabled, blacks, women, and religious minorities go in search of jobs with a major problem: employers fear them on the margin, and, on the margin, are less likely to hire them relative to others, provided they can get away with it. It is the least qualified among them who pay the highest price. A good test case is disability: it is a documented fact that unemployment among the truly disabled is higher today than it was when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed. Because libertarians know in advance that government policies are destructive, we tend to focus our editorial energy on pointing to its destructive effects. But in our zeal to draw attention to issues others ignore, let us not forget the bigger picture. There are always limits to what the government can do, and the government's destruction is always accompanied by examples of great creativity on the part of the market. Even as government dominates the headlines, private entrepreneurs are busy every day working to improve products and services that improve our lives. They do it without taxing us or regulating us, or making us suffer through tedious elections or political debates. They make their products and offer them to us in a way that pleases the consuming public the most. We can choose whether we want them or not. Consider the success of Wal-Mart. If government had set out to create a volume discounter that made a world of material goods and groceries available to the multitude in all countries, it might have tried for a thousand years and not created anything resembling this company. Even the military has relented and now routinely points its employees not to its on-base stores but to Wal-Mart, Office Depot, and others for the best prices. Foreign development aid is another example. It took decades to get the message across, but today finance ministers in the developing world understand that they have far more to gain through integration into the world economy than from development aid and all the restrictive policies that come with it. Today, as Sudha Shenoy points out, the largest resistance to new trade deals comes from the developing world, not because they don't want trade but because they desire trade without the labor and environmental controls the US demands. The same is true in the area of communications. In the last century, governments aspired to control them all: the phones, the mails, the media. Today, we see that government, in practice, controls very little of the communications industry, despite every attempt to hobble private enterprise. In that same vein, a major issue for everyone these days are computer viruses and spam, which threaten to make our chief mode of communication less reliable. Congress passes ineffectual legislation against spam and viruses, while private enterprise has given us dozens of means of winning the battle. Private enterprise creates; government destroys. That is the great economic lesson of our times and all times. Of course there is one way in which government never fails. It can loot. It can gain footholds into society's command centers. It can punish enemies. It can even indoctrinate people in its preferred vision of the world through propaganda. This is the best way to understand the public school system. It doesn't work to educate but it does work to transfer vast sums from the private to the public sector. And here too, we see the power of private enterprise: booster clubs in public schools represent a de facto source of privatization, and the clubs and groups connected to them are the only really successful things going on in public school. We’ll hear much in the coming months about all the wonderful reforms politicians are going to bring us. This is the time when politicians vie for our allegiance by telling all about their ideas and vision for the future. As usual, they will parse their words in ways to maximize the numbers of people who are persuaded and minimize the amount of trouble they get into for inadvertently telling people something they don't want to hear. As an aside, whoever came up with this idea of a mass democracy just wasn't thinking things through very clearly. Nothing runs well by majority vote, to say nothing of the fact that a truly free society shouldn't be "run" at all; it works on its own without would-be masters-and-commanders grasping at the helm. Let me then offer to you my own top ten list of political lies you are told, all designed to make you believe that government should have more power than it already has, so that it can create more of the disasters we are accustomed to: 10. My new program will generate jobs. Truth: only the market generates jobs on net. 9. My education program will reform schools so that they leave no child behind. Truth: the public schools do not work for the same reason no government program can work. They exist outside the market economy. 8. My program will save industry x. Truth: industry must be part of the market or else it is not really industry at all. 7. I won't raise your taxes but I will pass lots of new programs: Truth: all programs must be paid for. 6. As president, I will pursue a humble foreign policy. Truth: nothing in the office of the president encourages humility. 5. This war is humanitarian and winnable. Truth: war is nothing but a government program on a massively destructive scale, and just as error prone. 4. My reform will bring market-based competition. Be on the lookout for this lie, which market partisans are likely to believe. There is only one kind of genuine market, and it is rooted in private property and nothing else. 3. We will secure the nation. Truth: government cannot provide security better than markets, any more than it can provide food or houses better than the market. 2. Government is compassionate. Truth: men who seek power over the lives of others are the coldest, cruelest humans of all. 1. You can't love your country and hate your government. Truth: A person who loves his country loves liberty first. One hundred years from now, the great story of the latter part of the 20th century and the first part of the 21st century will be the vast improvements in life wrought by technology. Consider the web, the cell phone, the PDA, the affordable laptop computer, advances in medicine, and the spread of prosperity to all corners of the globe. What has government had to do with this? The answer is: nothing contributory. It has worked only to impede progress, and we can only be thankful that it hasn't succeeded. Through all of human history, governments have caused frightening levels of bloodshed and horror, but in the end, what has prevailed is not power but the market economy. Even today governments can only play catch-up. This is because of the reasons that Mises outlined. Government cannot control the human mind, so it cannot, in the long run, control the choices people make. It cannot control economic forces, which are a far more powerful and permanent feature of the world than any government anyway. Governments have a propensity to overreach in so many areas of life that their exercise of power itself leads to their own undoing. The overreach can take many forms: financial, economic, social, and military. In this way, and with enough passion for liberty burning in the hearts of the citizenry, governments can be responsible for their own undoing. It comes about as a result of overestimating the capacity of power and underestimating its limits. I believe this is happening in our time. It may not be obvious when taking the broad view, but when you look at the status of a huge range of government programs and institutions, what you see is a government that is at once enormously powerful and rich, but also fragile and teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Events of the last year indicate just how far the government has slipped in its ability to manage the economy, society, culture, and world order. Despite the exalted status of the state today, the vast and sprawling empire called the US government may in fact be less healthy than it ever has been. A few months back, we had a special speaker come to Auburn, probably the most famous man who has visited us since the Country and Western star Alan Jackson was in town. He was Mikhail Gorbachev, a very interesting figure in the history of nations. He came to power with the reputation of a reformer and instituted many reforms that were designed not to give more liberty to the people, but to stop the unraveling of an empire before it was too late. But it was too late. All his talk of perestroika and glasnost couldn't fool the people, who had become convinced that the Soviet machine was something of a hoax. The empire unraveled not because of him, but despite his efforts to save it. When it came time to make the critical decision of whether to try to hold the empire together by more and more force, or not, history had already made the choice for him. The empire dissolved in the blink of an eye. Not too many months later, he was out of a job, not because he was recalled in some formal process, but because the forces of history had run him over. Democratic governments are not immune from the forces of history that overthrew Soviet tyranny. All governments overreach and no government is permanent. So let us fear government but not exaggerate its powers. It can cause enormous damage and it must always be fought. But in this struggle, we are on the right side of history. The power of human choice, aided by the logic of economics and the laws that operate without any bureaucrat's permission, are our source of hope for the future. _______________________________ Llewellyn H.

I need to find a web designer/developer job? I am looking for a job with either .NET (C#) or even more basic things like just XHTML and CSS. I've been searching job sites for a few days now and I am having trouble finding stuff. I am rather entry level though, so it's tough finding jobs. I am looking for full time, part time, or maybe contract work. I can not do internships though.

whats an unemployed College grad 2009 to do? I recently graduated May 2009 with a BA and have been looking religiously for a job. I constantly search job boards like career builder, monster, simply hired, indeed and the school's site for jobs. I have tried staffing agencies and calling around town. I'm just looking for any job from retail to food stores to receptionist to anything just about. But the food stores say they are not hiring. or business say they have found someone else more qualified. i have done 2 semesters of internships in web design and event coordinating. i have also worked retail while in college. when i go to an interview i always dress in a black skirt and white blouse and show my manners. my resume has been looked at by 3 different professionals. i have thought about going to technical school but i dont know what i would major in. I kind of just want to work in a bank or receptionist something with straight hours and decent pay. but i cant find anything. I dont know what i am going to do? even just applying for holiday help is a hard task because employers are saying they have more people to interview and hire someone else. i am lucky to have a boyfriend who is supporting me financially but i want my own money. what is one to do in this situation?

a friend indeed? i had a friend who i had known for a long long time....we lost contact after he lost his job but then i searched for him and contacted him and then found out that he has been unemployed for nearly a year i used a little of my contacts to get him hired under the same organization as i work, and got my boss to give him a higher salary than he had demanded....after about 6 months of joining he stopped talking to me altogether and stopped visiting our family, i responded and did the same....although i never think this would happen but he is now enemy no.1 for me where i work and he is always trying to find out things that can hurt me.....i wish i would not be so gullible think of every fake person as a good friend and also hope that i am not so soft hearted that i should feel sorry for everyone....comments people....what do you think i should do change myself and risk getting hurt again....or stay the way i am and pray to God to give me what i deserve??? hi barefoot...thanks for the great insight, just a filler here...i did not and never did emphasize to him or to anybody how much i had to go through to get him the job, in fact i felt very happy about being of some use to someone....but you know you are right i just regret helping him now..... i dont consider him enemy no. 1 it is him who considers me as that

Moralistic media stories; we love them, do we not...but as long as they don't involve us. Is this true? Bairns going missing, Eastern Europeans showing UK folk how job-searching is done (for, as we know...some have indeed forgotten), and slightly 'foreign' people being rounded up and charged - with one (as we know) being shot dead. Our penchant for swiftly airing comments and verdicts in this 'free world' are admirable. But wait...would we be as harsh to others on here if we were part of the media stories spread on populist front pages?
I have a BA degree in Communications.What is a good job in this field and where can I look online for jobs.? Hey everyone. My name is Danny. I attended St. John's University in Staten Island NY for 4 years, having graduated this May with a bachelors (major Communication Arts, minor Business), and I am desperately looking for a job to no success. My situation is that I am looking for a well paying job, and have been using indeed/craigslist/etc different search sites, but I don't know the right site nor the right field I want to be in. I have excellent writing skills, excellent with computers, I am smart (at least I think so, lol), and am willing to work hard. I have had part-times in the past, involving bank teller for 1 year, restaurant worker for 3 years, Recruiting company temp position for months, and a few others. I have not interned anywhere. I am wanting to do tv work / radio / Public Relations / etc etc but need a good site to start me off or someone to point me in the right direction. Thanks everyone for any tips/help you can give me, and hopefully someone that was able to grab a job from an online site or other reference can help me out as well. Thank you. Dan
Unemployment Appeal Hearing.? My case is a little different from most that I've read here. I had already been receiving benefits from California Unemployment for a couple months already, When the time came to have the in-person interview with a representative from the unemployment office. I planned for it weeks ahead, but when the day actually came, I COMPLETELY FORGOT. I called the very next day, as soon as I remembered, and spoke to a very nice man about it. He explained to me that the main reason for the interview was to ask a few questions, and to make sure that I was registered with the online job search engine - Cal-Jobs. Since my case was pretty simple and I had full cooperation from my previous job, there wasn't really anything else to ask me. I informed him that I was indeed registered with Cal-jobs, so he told me everything should be fine. I kept receiving my checks, but also received a letter stating that I was to have another phone interview, to discuss why I failed to show up for the in person interview. As my luck would have it, my touch-screen phone started effing up on me. I received the call and said "hello" 3 times, and there was silence. Then the other person hung up and I received a voicemail from the rep. stating that they called for my scheduled phone interview and I didn't pick up. I WAS FURIOUS! Needless to say, I have a new phone. A week later I received a letter stating that it was decided by unemployment that my benefits were now denied due to failing to register with Cal-jobs - which I had! I appealed the decision, and now I have a hearing scheduled next week. I will be out of town, so it's an over the phone hearing and I'm beginning to get really nervous because I've never done anything like this. All this technical stuff really freaks me out, If anyone has been in a situation like this or anything close to it, I'd like some insight as to what the hearing might be like. Part of me feels like I have no chance at all, it's my word against theirs, cant they just lie and say I didn't register by the required date? - case closed? SORRY SO LONG! Just thought I had to explain it all so it the situation was understandable. Thanks!

I am still seeking a position utilizing my B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering but to no avail. Any advice? I've been searching for a position for the past 2-3 years. After the first year, the volume of calls returned about my job search inquiries have decreased significantly; if I am lucky, I receive a call every 2 months for a phone screening. In person interviews are even rarer; I receive them approximately one every 3 months. Second interviews are basically non-existent. I am currently temping in the 'environmental' field helping to maintain the chemical stockroom inventory up to date; I open, scan, and close packages. I tried various web sites: aiche.org, indeed.com, careerbuilder.com, etc. Everyone wants experience; I can't provide 2-5 years from nowhere. HELP! Is it my personality? I have problems interacting with people. I have some work history gaps; can that worsen my situation? I am highly intelligent; I can provide some serious analysis, yet no one other than a company that just needs me for mundane tasks is willing to hire me. Am I flawed? Did I enter the wrong field?
convince me how unions haven't destroyed this country? The teachers unions has raped education, not allowing us to hire the qualified, fire the unqualified. The greediness of the common union has forced outsourcing in search of profit! Which by the way is good business. Why save jobs for those who want everything, to work less make more, more benefits, unions indeed themselves are BIG business, masked behind their platform of laziness and greed. These are my opinions and i wish to hear those of others! All opinions, and commentary welcome, ty for your assistance.
Jazz sax player stopped and searched over a 12 year period, why did he not complain? I knew a jazz saxophone player who walked to Waterloo station from Soho at 4 AM 6 days a week for 12 years to get what he called the milk train to Banstead in Surrey where he lived. He said to me he was stopped "about once a month" for 12 years by police asking to see what he had in his saxophone case ( I am hoping a policeman reads this and can remember it) He NEVER COMPLAINED ONCE indeed he said "they have a point perhaps a gun or stolen goods could have been in my saxophone case " This was a balding blond UK guy originally from Blackpool. He was an old fashioned law abiding UK man who wanted to help the police do their job. The police should have stop and search powers and the people who complain do not have British respect for the law Attention terrorists / criminals and supporters. If you want to carry a bomb/AK45/ suicide explosives through London at 4 AM use a saxophone case, we do not search saxophone cases because we will be called "fascist" Deliberately so Colin, your observation is pure genius
Is anyone knowledgeable about youthful offender charges? I have a very serious question for all those who can help. I received a D.U.I. when a was a bit younger at the age of 20. I regret what I did for many reasons and would never repeat that action now that I fully understand the consequences, but what has been done is done. Anyhow since I was 20 at the time of the charge I plead youthful offender status and was granted it. Some years later after buckling down I am about to graduate from an ABET accredited Mechanical Engineering program and will soon start seeking employment. I am curious as to what the consequences of my previous mistake will be when searching for a job. I did well in school (received a scholarship etc.) but am worried that this will inevitably come back to haunt me. I need to know who can see the charge for jobs that both require and don't require security clearances. Do I mention the charge when asked about criminal past or no? Ive been told different things by some somewhat unreliable sources. Any and all accurate information would be greatly appreciated as this is indeed a dire matter for me =(. Sorry I forgot to mention that the sate is Alabama. <sigh> typo *state

Help me out to take a decision on my lover? Hi all... I've been in love with this guy for more than 2 years. Our love was going smooth and he loved me so much. There have been some little problems which are common among all couples, but now i'm pretty much confused and depressed by him. He is now away from me searching for a job. He focuses much on his career which is good indeed. But the thing is he doesn't give thoughts to my feelings much. Even if i cry for him he reacts less. I really want to marry him. He also says me the same. But what i doubt is will we be happy after getting married?. Sometimes i think of leaving him but I can't because we've been alone sometimes. Hope you understand what i'm trying to say. So even if i leave him i can't live with someone else. It's like betraying others. I am not at all happy these days. I see happy couples everywhere which makes me more sad. Sometimes i feel that i had took a wrong decision. Next moment i curse myself saying that i will never get a man like him with clean habits and behavior.And i must say he has never seen another gal except me. He still loves me so much. There times when he even ignored me completely. Is the problem with me or him? Or is this normal in love?. This is my first love and also his. I constantly think about this which makes me depressed. I really don't know what to do. Guys and gals help me out of this state....

Are illegal immigrants criminals? NOT!? By Ken Schoolland I hear it from some of the nicest people one would ever meet. Some dear friends of mine, whom I respect very much, say that all illegal immigrants are criminals because they broke the laws that control who may come into this country. And since these immigrants are criminals, we don¡'t want that kind of person here. Sadly, such accusations confuse what is legal with what is moral. American history is filled with people who broke unjust laws and were morally justified in doing so. Legality ≠ Morality The American Revolution was fought by men and women who broke the laws of England and of King George III. Had they been arrested, as was Nathan Hale, they would have been hanged for treason to the Crown. If breaking the law makes one a criminal, then the Founding Fathers were all criminals. But no one still believes that today. Dred Scott and thousands of other slaves defied the Fugitive Slave Acts and ran away, "stealing themselves" from Southern plantation masters in the early 1800's. Those who were arrested were returned to their slave "owners," and anyone found trying to help them escape to Canada was prosecuted as well. Thankfully, many juries exercised jury nullification. Declaring that the law was unjust, juries often refused to convict operators of the Underground Railroad. No one today would claim that a runaway slave was a criminal. Indeed, anyone who forcibly returned Blacks would now be considered guilty of having collaborated with the slave masters — albeit legal slave masters. In the 1930's there were hundreds of Jews who came to American shores aboard the SS St. Louis, forcibly sent back by immigration quotas to perish in Hitler's concentration camps. Thousands or millions of potential refugees watched in desperate disappointment. But suppose those passengers had defied immigration law and jumped ship in Miami harbor. Would anyone today call them criminals? I think not. Indeed, those who returned Jews to their persecutors might be considered guilty of collaborating with villainy — albeit legal villainy. Treasures of the Earth It may be illegal for people to seek freedom and opportunity in this country, but it isn't immoral. I admire the courage of immigrants who leave all that is familiar to them, risking life and limb on stormy seas and deadly deserts, in order to move to a strange land where everything is unfamiliar and potentially hostile. Most of our ancestors moved for freedom and opportunity and we are the beneficiaries. Thank God they weren't arrested and sent packing, as were violators of the Chinese Exclusion Act. Indeed, we might wonder if we could have mustered the same measure of courage if we had been in their shoes. It is convenient and simple to exclude new newcomers by calling them criminals. But the real reason is much more complex. For some people it is a fear of other races. For others it is a fear that newcomers might work hard and will "take" jobs. Others fear the opposite — that newcomers will not work hard and will take welfare. In the first case, many immigrants are great entrepreneurs who offer jobs to Americans. Other immigrants take jobs, but they never "take" jobs that are not willingly offered to them by eager employers. I often ask audiences: "Suppose you are an employer and you know only one thing about two job applicants in front of you: one is native-born and the other is an immigrant? Who would you expect to be the harder worker?" Audiences overwhelmingly favor the immigrant. Why? Americans are surely good workers. But the very act of migration is seen as proof of vigor, ambition, determination, and courageous self-reliance. Choice: Employees Right, Employers Right Americans have a moral right to make these choices for themselves — as employees and as employers. Says Robert W. Tracinski, a senior writer for the Ayn Rand Institute: "The irrational premise behind our nation's immigration laws is that a native-born American has a 'right' to a particular job, not because he has earned it, but because he was born here. To this 'right,' the law sacrifices the employer's right to hire the best employees — and the immigrant's right to take a job that he deserves. To put it succinctly, initiative and productiveness are sacrificed to sloth and inertia. "The 'American dream' is essentially the freedom of each individual to rise as far as his abilities take him. The opponents of immigration, however, want to repudiate that vision by turning America into a privileged preserve for those who want the law to set aside jobs for them — jobs they cannot freely earn through their own efforts....Any immigrant who wants to come to America in search of a better life should be let in — and any employer who wants to hire him should be free to do so." To the legalist, however, who places law above moral right, the employer who hires as he pleases is a criminal. The legalist wants stricter penalties against employers who defy state mandates on hiring. Once again this is reminiscent of historic laws that were used to criminalize employers who dared to hire Blacks, women, and Jews. Violations were illegal, maybe, but not immoral. Welfare Magnet? But what of the immigrant who takes welfare? Isn't this a burden on society that must be stopped? Yes, it is. But politically powerless newcomers are no more responsible for the welfare system in this country than they are responsible for the tyranny and corruption in a country that they are fleeing. Okay, stop the flow of welfare, but at the same time remove the plethora of [anti-] labor laws that make it difficult for newcomers to be hired. It is wrong to assume that most immigrants come to America to get on the welfare gravy train. If this is true, then immigrants would be moving away from states with the lowest welfare and into states with the highest welfare. My research (The Journal of Private Enterprise, Spring 2004) demonstrates that the opposite is true. In overwhelming numbers, both the native-born population and the foreign-born population through the decade of the 1990's moved away from states with the highest welfare and into states with the lowest welfare. While there are some high profile exceptions, most immigrants seek opportunity, not welfare. The brilliant economist, Julian Simon, demonstrated that immigrants are a great source of productivity and economic growth. They always have been. Simon declares that most wealthy industrial nations will depend on the productivity of immigrants to provide revenues for the increasingly costly welfare demands of a native-born population. Moral Principles Governments do not decide morality. Governments behave morally when upholding moral action and behave immorally when suppressing moral action. Morality is based on principles far more constant and profound than the variant whims of majority votes. The people who understood this best, were those rebels who defied the law of the day to pen these words: "WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men Are Created Equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." To George Washington this meant, "...the bosom of America is open to receive not only the opulent and respectable stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all nations and religions, whom we should welcome to a participation of all our rights and privileges."
why do christians deny the holy spirit? The closing decades of the 20th century and the first years of the 21st century have been times of significant flux. Technology, society, family, and religion, have shifted in incredible ways. Part of the change in religion during the past 25 years has been an upsurge of worship of feminine deities - goddesses. Whereas part of this trend was unquestionably fostered by feminism, other aspects of seeking the Divine Feminine were totally unrelated. Recently, women and men have felt an increasing affinity for Goddess - a sense of being drawn. Yet, the Bible seemed to be mute on the matter. Most clergy [who were products of culture and theological seminaries, and were protective of denominational dogma and their own salaries] had no meaningful insight or guidance to offer in this area. The majority of those who became devotees of the Divine Feminine felt compelled to exit Judaism or Christianity in order to do so. The search for Goddess led many to the pantheon of gods and goddesses found in Wicca, or related Neo-pagan religions. What surprises [or even shocks] many is that the Goddess has been ever-present within the pages of the Bible. The Goddess to whom a growing number of individuals feel drawn is included in the Hebrew Scriptures. Her presence is one of the many mysteries of the ancient Israelite texts. Intentionally, translators, denominational councils and quorums obscured many scriptural truths. The Goddess has been made nearly invisible in English translations. Centuries of androcentric cultural bias have contributed to Her concealment. The intent of the following comments is to reveal the mystery of the Divine Feminine - the Goddess within the Scriptures. Concealed, But in Plain View For a combination of reasons, scholars and theologians have masked profound truths about Elohim, the God of Israel. The existence the Divine Feminine has been deliberately obscured by mainstream religion for a multitude of centuries. [The same can be said of the sacred names and certain attributes of the Divine, as well as many other plain and precious spiritual teachings.] Knowledge that is most important has been buried for many, many centuries. Included among the many pearls of truth which have been concealed from nearly all churches and synagogues is the awareness that Elohim has both male and female attributes and aspects. The androgynous nature of Elohim is quite evident in the account of the creation of mankind found in the first chapter of Genesis. "And God [Elohim] said, Let us make man [adam = mankind] in our own image, after our likeness?So God [Elohim] created man in the image of God [Elohim]?male and female created he them?and called their name Adam." [Genesis 1:27, 5:2] As Elohim is both male and female, mankind was also created male and female. In the original Hebrew of the Bible there is one word, Eloah, which literally means "Goddess". Eloah is the feminine form of God. Other words describing God are also distinctly female. Hebrew nouns are usually gender-specific [although some can be gender-neutral in usage]. While some of the Hebrew words for God have a distinctly feminine gender, translators have almost universally chosen to suppress this, being unwilling to use the feminine word "Goddess". Likewise, they have consistently used masculine pronouns when referring to God, even when gender-neutral or feminine pronouns would have been more appropriate. Most present-day Bible dictionaries, commentaries, and concordances are still biased, and ignore basic Hebrew grammatical rules when it comes to translating the words designating Deity. This has resulted in most Christians and Jews holding to the view that God is exclusively male. To most Christians and Jews, awareness of the Divine Feminine is not only unfamiliar, but, initially, seems unbelievable. Elohim Elohim is the Hebrew word that is most commonly translated as the English "God." Elohim is gender-combined, plural word. The word Elohim is concurrently male and female, and simultaneouslyrepresents both unity and majestic plurality. Elohim is a compound of the feminine singular Eloah with the masculine plural suffix -im. The word Elohim represents a majestic, awesome God that is beyond the ability of the human mind to fully comprehend. We can comprehend some of the attributes of Elohim, but the fullness of the Godhead is beyond our understanding. El is the masculine singular Hebrew word for God. Although male, in practice, El is often gender-neutral. Eloah is the feminine singular form of the same word, and can be correctly translated 'Goddess'. In Hebrew, the -oah, -oh or -ah suffix makes a word feminine. This is very similar to the English suffix -ess, used in such words as waitress, stewardess, or poetess. Eloah is female. Elohim is a combination of the singular feminine word Eloah, to which the masculine plural suffix -im has been added. In Hebrew, the -im is normally added only used to make masculine words plural. The question that naturally arises is, Why add a masculine suffix to a feminine root? The answer is that Elohim is androgynous, being simultaneously male and female in principle and attributes. Eloah / El Shaddai El Shaddai or simply Shaddai are other titles of God. As has already been mentioned, El means 'God'. The word shad means "woman's breast" [7699], and shaddai [Strong's 7706] means "breasts", "breasted", or "many breasts". Though El Shaddai is translated as "Almighty God", "God Almighty", or "the Almighty" in the English Bible, it literally means "God with breasts" or "[many] breasted [One]" There are those who refuse to translate Shaddai as "breasts", however, the parallelism of the language used in Jacob's blessing, in Genesis 49:25, emphasizes that this is the correct translation. The descriptive title El Shaddai describes the Goddess of Israel. There is a fascinatingly important declaration in Exodus 6:3: "I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob by the name of El Shaddai, but by my name Yahweh I was not known to [perceived by] them." While there is confirmation that the Patriarchs were aware of the name Yahweh, evidently Elohim related to the Patriarchs primarily as the feminine Eloah and El Shaddai. This revelation to Moses is highly important to our understanding. Eloah appears 57 times in the Old Testament; two-thirds of those mentions occur in the book of Job. Shaddai or El Shaddai appears in the Tanakh [Old Testament] 48 times. It is found in the book of Job 31 of those occurrences. The fact that Job lived during the days of the Patriarchs, combined with Yahweh's declaration to Moses about the Patriarchs mainly recognizing Deity as El Shaddai, allows us to conclude that the Goddess attributes of Elohim were much more clearly understood in Patriarchal times. Although the names Elohim and Yahweh appear many more times than Eloah or El Shaddai in the Bible, we must notice significance in the fact that the ancients had a considerable understanding of and relationship with the Divine Feminine. In Job there are two specific declarations of the femininity of Eloah. Yahweh announced to Job, "the sea?leapt tumultuous from the womb." [Job 38:8] Then, Yahweh rhetorically asked, "Out of whose womb came the ice?" [Job 38:29] Obviously, these verses [and others that will be mentioned later] undeniably attribute feminine characteristics to Eloah. Eloah is synonymous with Shaddai, the Feminine God. "Can you claim to fathom the depth of [Eloah]? Can you reach the limit of [Shaddai]?" [Job 11:7] "Then Shaddai will be your delight, and you will lift your face to [Eloah]." [Job 22:26] "Can he be happy with [Shaddai]? Can he call on [Eloah] at all times?" [Job 27:10] A similar verse is, "Now what portion does [Eloah] allot from above; what fate does Shaddai apportion from [Her] heaven?" [Job 31:2] Several verses, mostly within the book of Job, mention either El or Yahweh as distinct from Eloah. "Is Yahweh's opponent going to give way? Has [Eloah's] critic thought up an answer?" [Job 40:2] "I would seek unto [El], and unto [Eloah] I would commit my case." [Job 5:8] "Does [El] pervert judgment, or does [Shaddai] pervert justice?if you search for [El] and plead for mercy from [Shaddai]?" [Job 8:3,5] "This is the portion of a wicked man from [El], and the heritage appointed him by [Eloah]." [Job 20:29] "I swear by the living [El] who denies me justice, and by Shaddai who has filled me with bitterness." [Job 27:2] "[El] judges the Righteous and Eloah is angered by the Wicked every day." [Psalm 7:11] Similar passages include Job 15:25, 22:17, 23:16, 33:4, 34:12, and 35:13. The Holy Spirit The Hebrew Ruach ha Kodesh is the phrase that translates into the Holy Spirit. Ruach is feminine, and the Aramaic equivalent ruah is also a feminine noun. These words are paired with feminine verbs and pronouns. The Holy Spirit is feminine, and is another designation of Eloah. Therefore, in the original texts, Messiah promised: "And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that she may dwell with you forever." [John 14:16] The Holy Spirit is portrayed in the role of Comforter in John chapters 14 to 16. This role of comforting is associated with mothering. "As a mother comforts a child, so shall I comfort you." [Isaiah 66:13] In Isaiah 11:2, the "spirit of Wisdom" is also called the "spirit of Yahweh". The other Hebrew word commonly used to refer to the Holy Spirit is 'shekinah'. The feminine word shekinah appears in Aramaic translations of the Bible, and is commonly use within modern Judaism. Shekinah is the equivalent of the Holy Spirit; it means "Divine Presence". Several first or second-century Christian documents discovered at Nag Hammadi plainly identify the Holy Spirit as feminine - as the mother figure within the Godhead. In the Apocryphon of John, Elohim appeared to John and said, "I am the Father, I am the Mother, I am the Son. I am the undefiled and uncorruptible One." In the Gospel According to the Hebrews, the phrase "my mother the Holy Spirit" appears. The Pistis Sophia and other early writings indicate that within the early church there was awareness that the Holy Spirit is female. God Became In certain Hebrew traditions God is referred to as Ain Sof - which means "without end". God is infinite, ultimate, and immeasurable - beyond our capability to fully understand. That being admitted, it is within our ability to discover a wealth of knowledge about the Divine within the Scriptures, particularly by uniting passages from the various component books. The scriptures are emphatic that there is one God - one Elohim. The Shema declares: "Listen, O Israel, Yahweh your Elohim is One." [Deuteronomy 6:4] Though there is unmistakable unity in God, the scriptures simultaneously reveal a plurality. "The Father, and?the Son, and?the Holy Ghost ?are one God. [Mormon 7:7 (3:29); Alma 11:44 (8:102-104)] The Spirit Eloah is part of the Divine - just as the Father and Son are distinct elements within the majestic plurality that is Elohim. The words Elohim and Yahweh may each be classified as collective nouns. Collective nouns include words such as family, flock, herd, forest, jury, staff and team. The plurality of Elohim [or of Yahweh] can be understood in the collective sense of family. Paul wrote that "the whole family in Heaven" receives its name from Elohim. [Ephesians 3:15] The ancient American prophet, Abinadi revealed the astonishing truth that God [Elohim] became the Father and the Son. [Mosiah 15:3 (8:30)] This is an essential point in our understanding. Abinadi stated that Elohim became the various roles and persons of God. This is likened to the Apostle's inspired statement that "the Word became flesh. [John 1:14] Elohim became the Father and the Spirit and the Son. The fact that there is a Father implies the presence of family. God became the Father in relationship to the Son, the Spirit and the whole Divine Family. The presence of family necessitates gender. Similarly, the fact that Messiah is the Bridegroom necessitates that there must be a Bride. Not only did Elohim become the masculine Father and the masculine Messiah, Elohim also became the feminine Holy Spirit / Eloah / Wisdom and the Bride [the Elect]. There is a perfect male-female balance within the Divine. When a person believes in the Father, the Holy Spirit or the Son, because of their unity, that person believes in the other aspects of Elohim as well. Messiah said, "Whoso believeth in Me believeth in the Father also; and unto him will the Father bear record of Me, and the Holy Ghost will bear record unto him of the Father and Me; for the Father and I and the Holy Ghost are one." [3rd Nephi 11:35-36 (5:36-38)] Wisdom Wisdom is another designation for the Goddess Eloah. 'Wisdom' is the feminine Hebrew word Hochmah. [Strong's 2451, 2452 and 2454] The equivalent name in Greek is Sophia. [4678] Although the word 'wisdom' definitely is equated with good judgment and astuteness, in several scripture passages, Wisdom is unmistakably a Divine Personage. Wisdom is feminine, and distinctly referred to by feminine pronouns. The Messiah said: "Wisdom is proven by Her children." [Luke 7:35] In a number of passages of scripture, Wisdom is described and adored by writers, and also speaks on her own behalf. This is particularly true of the 8th chapter of Proverbs, the 24th chapter of Ecclesiasticus, and the 7th chapter of the Wisdom of Solomon. Wisdom announces that She was brought forth before the creation. She also assisted in the creative process, alongside Yahweh. "Yahweh created Me, first-fruits of His fashioning, before the oldest of His works. From everlasting I was firmly set - from the beginning, before the earth came into being/ The deep was not when I was born, nor were the springs with their abounding waters. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I came to birth; before He had made the earth, the countryside, and the first elements of the world. When he fixed the heavens firm, I was there; when He drew a circle on the surfaces of the deep, when He thickened the clouds above, when the sources of the deep began to swell, when He assigned the sea its boundaries (and the waters will not encroach on the shore), when He traced the foundations of the earth. I was beside the Master Craftsman, delighting Him day after day, ever at play in His presence, to play everywhere on His earth, delighting to be with the children of men. [Proverbs 8:22-31] Within the apocryphal books of Ecclesiasticus [also known as Ben Sirach], and the Wisdom of Solomon [sometimes known simply as Wisdom], the Feminine Deity is quite evident. It is apparent that the following passages are greater than mere personifications of the attribute of wisdom, but represent statements by and about Eloah. {The surviving originals of these manuscripts exist only in Greek; however, based upon translation in the Septuagint, we can extrapolate the original Hebrew equivalent of certain words.}record of Me, for He will visit him with fire and with the Holy Ghost. And thus will the Father bear record of Me, and the Holy Ghost will bear record unto him of the Father and Me; for the Father and I and the Holy Ghost are one." [3rd Nephi 11:35-36 (5:36-38)] Wisdom Wisdom is another designation for the Goddess Eloah. 'Wisdom' is the feminine Hebrew word Hochmah.

It is apparent that the following passages are greater than mere personifications of the attribute of wisdom, but represent statements by and about Eloah. {The surviving originals of these manuscripts exist only in Greek; however, based upon translation in the Septuagint, we can extrapolate the original Hebrew equivalent of certain words.} "Wisdom [Sophia] speaks Her own praises in the midst of Her people She glories in Herself. She opens Her mouth in the assembly of the Most High {El Elyon}; She glories Herself in the presence of the Mighty One {Abi'ir}: I came forth from the mouth of the Most High, and I covered the earth like mist. I had My tabernacle in the heights, and My throne was a pillar of cloud. Alone I have made the circuit of the heavens, and walked through the depths of the abyss. Over the waves of the sea and over the whole earth, and over every people and nation I have held sway. Among all these I searched for rest, and looked to see in whose territory I might pitch camp. Then the Creator of all things instructed Me, and He who created Me fixed a place for My tent. He said, 'Pitch your tent in Jacob; make Israel Your inheritance.' From eternity, in the beginning, He created Me, and for eternity I shall remain. In the holy tabernacle I ministered before Him, and thus became established in Zion. [Ecclesiasticus 24:1-10] "And so I prayed?I entreated, and the spirit of Wisdom came to me. I esteemed Her more than scepters and thrones; compared with Her, I held riches as nothing. I reckoned no precious stone to be Her equal, for compared with Her all gold is a pinch of sand, and beside Her silver ranks as mud. I loved Her more than health or beauty, preferred Her to the light since Her radiance never sleeps. In Her company all good things came to me, and at Her hands incalculable wealth. All these delighted me, since Wisdom brings them, though I did not then realize that She was their Mother?" [Wisdom of Solomon 7:7-12] "And now I understand everything, hidden or visible, for Wisdom, the designer of all things, has instructed me. For within Her is a spirit intelligent, holy, unique, manifold, subtle, mobile, incisive, unsullied, lucid, invulnerable, benevolent, shrewd, irresistible, beneficent, friendly to human beings, steadfast, dependable, unperturbed, almighty, all-surveying, penetrating, all-intelligent, pure and most subtle spirits. For Wisdom is quicker to move than any motion; She is so pure, She pervades and permeates all things. She is a breath {ruach} of the power of God {Elohim}, pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty {Shaddai}; so nothing impure can find its way into Her. For she is a reflection of the eternal light, untarnished mirror of God's active power, and image of His goodness." [Wisdom of Solomon 7:21-26] "Although She is alone [only one power, but] She can do everything. Herself unchanging, She renews the world, and, generation after generation, passing into holy souls, she makes them into God's friends and prophets; for God loves only those who dwell with Wisdom. She is indeed more splendid than the sun; She outshines all the constellations. Compared with light, she takes first place; for light must yield to night, but against Wisdom, evil cannot prevail. Strongly She reaches from one end of the world to the other and She governs the whole world for its good." [Wisdom of Solomon 7:27-30] Solomon prayed to Yahweh regarding Wisdom. "With You is Wisdom; She Who knows your works, She Who was present when You made the world. She understands what is pleasing in Your eyes,and what agrees with Your commandments. Dispatch Her from the holy heavens, send Her forth from Your throne of glory to help me and toil with me, and teach me what is pleasing to You. Because She knows and understands everything, She will guide me prudently in my actions, and will protect me with Her glory." [Wisdom 9:9-11] Not the Goddesses of the Gentiles The apostle Paul wrote that people give honor to many different gods and goddesses. [1 Corinthians 8:5-6] We acknowledge the same today - adherents to a variety of religions worship many gods and goddesses. Although people worship "many gods and many lords", there is only one true God - Elohim. Those whom the scriptures call Gentiles generally worshipped other gods or goddesses. This means that they worship gods or goddesses that have been invented within their own imagination, or are misinterpretations of the truth of Eloah. Instead of worshiping the true Elohim, they worship gods and goddesses that were created within human minds. [Romans 1:25] Elohim consistently and plainly banned worship of Gentile gods and goddesses. Contrary to modern pluralistic thinking, this means that there is a difference between Elohim and the gods and goddesses of other nations. Plainly said, Baal is not the same as Yahweh, just as Ashtoreth is not the same as Eloah. Inanna, Isis and Lilith are not Eloah called by other names - they are truly "other gods". Throughout the history of Israel, the nation waxed and waned through cycles of the worship of "other gods". Elohim's condemnation of their practices focused on whom Israel was worshipping, and how they were worshipping. Elohim did not condemn reverence for Eloah - the Feminine Deity of Israel. Worship of the star goddess Ashtoroth [also spelled Ashtoreth] was denounced, however. Five times in the book of Jeremiah, a goddess of the Gentiles is referred to by the title "Queen of Heaven". In other cultures the star goddess was known as Astarte, Ishtar, and Ostara. An example of censuring the worship of other gods is found in Deuteronomy 32:17. The wicked people were condemned for sacrificing "to demons that are not Eloah. These were new gods who came from nearby - gods your ancestors never worshipped." Asherah is another name for the same goddess. In the King James translation of the Bible, asherah is translated as "grove" or "groves", but the contextual meaning is usually "a place to worship [the goddess Asherah]", or "idols [of Asherah]". Asherah was the companion of Baal. "And the children of Israel did evil?and forgot Yahweh their Elohim, and served Baals and Asherahs." [Judges 3:7] "And the king commanded Hilkiah the High Priest?to bring out of the temple of Yahweh all the vessels that were made for Baal and for Asherah?and he burned them." [2nd Kings 23:4] Another goddess is mentioned in Isaiah 34:14, in a purely negative way. She is Lilith, a winged goddess or demoness of the ancient Sumerians. The Semitic root lil means 'wind' or 'spirit'. In the King James translation, Lilith is called "screech owl". Other translations are "night terror", "night hag", "night demon", "goddess of the night", or "maiden of desolation". Praying to Eloah Having become aware of this previously hidden mystery of Eloah, many will wonder about their own personal relationship to Her. Scriptures does provide guidance in this regard. It is appropriate to pray to Eloah, for example. "My desire is that Shaddai would answer me." [Job 31:35] "Oh that I might have my request, and that [Eloah] would grant me the thing that I long for!" [Job 6:8] "He will pray to [Eloah] who has restored him to favor." [Job 33:26] "I shall say to [Eloah], 'Do not condemn me; tell me what Your case is against me." [Job 10:2] My friends scorn me, and my eyes pour out tears unto [Eloah]. [Job 16:20] "I want to speak to [Shaddai]; I wish to argue my case in front of [El]." [Job 13:3] "Seek [El], and plead with Shaddai." [Job 8:5] "[The Wicked say] 'What is the point of serving Shaddai? What shall we gain from praying to [Her]?'" [Job 21:15] "Then Shaddai will be all your delight, and you shall lift your face to [Eloah]. You will pray and [She] will hear." [Job 22:26-27] "I am one who calls on [Eloah] and expects an answer." [Job 12:4] The Spirit of Elohim Elohim as the Holy One acted to create the world, and sustains the universe. Elohim hears and answers prayers, blesses the Righteous, and punishes the Wicked. Elohim is the source of Life and Light. Elohim, as One God, as well as the Father, Son, and Eloah Spirit individually, are worthy of praise and worship. Each One within Elohim is referred to as 'the Rock'. Within Elohim, there is a hierarchy - an order and a division of responsibility within the Godhead. Each member has a role to play. We remember that Elohim became the Father and the Son and the Spirit - each with particular characters and tasks. The Father is the Source of the power within the Godhead - distributing it through the Spirit and the Son and the Elect. The Father is the One who covenants with individuals and nations. The specific 'work of the Father' is focused on making and fulfilling the terms of the Covenant [including the gathering and restoration of Israel]. The Father directs the Son and the Spirit, and is, in that sense, supreme. The Messiah is our Kinsman-Redeemer, and the Firstborn. He is the Bridegroom of the Church [Bride]. He is God in the flesh. He broke the bonds of death, making the resurrection possible for all people. Messiah was the ultimate sacrificial Lamb, paying the penalty of sin for all those who will have faith in Him, as well as those who are ignorant of the Plan of Redemption. The Messiah is our Shepherd, our High Priest, and Chief Judge. He is the Atonement for our sins. Eloah is the Holy Spirit; She unites mankind with Elohim. She is the medium through which spiritual gifts are manifested. The Spirit of Wisdom gives instruction, as well as interpretation and understanding. She is the Comforter. She convinces and convicts. Through the Spirit of Eloah comes revelation and inspiration. The power of Elohim is manifested through the Spirit. Eloah resides within the hearts of the Righteous. El Shaddai is more delicate that the Father or the Son, and is safeguarded. The sin against the Holy Spirit is unpardonable. [Matthew 12:32; Alma 39:6 (19:8-9)] Unlike the Father [Yahweh] and Son [Yahshua], Her personal name is never revealed [perhaps to prevent it from being blasphemed]. Rosh Chodesh A particularly suitable time to specially honor Eloah is at the time of the New Moon. Rosh Chodesh means both 'month' and 'new moon'. Kiddush levanah means 'sanctification of the moon'. The moon is feminine in gender, and is symbolically linked with womanhood and motherhood. [Genesis 37:9; Isaiah 13:10, Ezekiel 32:7, Matthew 24:29, Mark 13:24] "And then [Elohim created] the moon, ever punctual, to mark the times, an everlasting sign. It is the moon that signals the feasts, a luminary that wanes after being full. The month derives its name from hers; she waxes wonderfully in her phases - banner of the hosts on high, shining in the vault of heaven." [Ecclesiasticus 43:6-8] Traditionally, women, in particular, celebrate their own femininity and the femininity of Eloah during the ordinances of Kiddush Levanah [Rosh Chodesh]. According to Hebrew tradition, the observance of Rosh Chodesh was given particularly to women, and women did [and do] observe it as a Sabbath. It is appropriate to identify more closely with Eloah as we celebrate "the ordinances of the moon". Summary The intention of this article has been to demonstrate that there is unquestionably a feminine aspect within Elohim. The Divine Feminine is known as Eloah, El Shaddai, Wisdom [also Hochmah or Sophia], and the Holy Spirit. She is the Goddess 'concealed' within the Hebrew Scriptures. She is part of the One True God [Who is beyond our complete comprehension]. Spiritual Israel has justifiable reason to worship, praise and give honor to Eloah, the Holy Spirit, Who, with the Father and Son, are One God. The Elect are not permitted to honor other goddesses, such as Ashtoreth or Asherah, but only El Shaddai - the Feminine within Elohim. and still many deny truth

The example that he cited are based on relationships, yes- whether they be a cousin or a hairdresser. However, the GREAT BIG DIFFERENCE is that when someone goes out of their way to verbally expound the degree of influence that someone has on you as well as when you tout this person as a role model or "mentor" - well now this is VERY dofferent. By doing this, you indeed are connecting yourself to this person in every way since you indicated that their beliefs were used to mentor and foster your own beliefs. When you look up to someone as a mentor or role model, you are believing in the basic principles of theirs. Obama's open statements to th ereverend being his spiritual mentor and best friend makes his beliefs as suspect as the reverend's. In addition, Obama can now denounce all he wants to but how could he be a parishioner for 17 years and listen to these types of statements if as Obama NOW states are "outrageous"? I think that we need to realy questiob Obama's truthfullness or question his judgement. In either case, the country should seriously reconsider any support for such a candidate. It is frightening that Obama's paltform really emphasizes "change" and his real agenda would seem to indicate other.We need to change our support to Senator Clinton and assure her success in November.3/17/2008 9:05:12 PMRecommend (0) Report Abuse Discussion Policy LISANROY wrote:amemended comments of dr kamal roy dt 3,17,2008LISANROY wrote:COMmENTS OF REV DR KAMAL KARNA Karuna ROY A REPUBLICAN CANIDATE AND HoPEFUL TO BE the NOMINEE OF GOP IN SCHEDULED ELECTION FOr NOV 4, 2008, IF BE HELD WITHOUT any COURT ORDER OF INJUNCTION to postpone corrpt election as PRAYED BY DR kamal k k ROY ALLEGING SKY_HIGH AND CLOUD_DARK CORRUPTIONS BY DEFENDANTS IN CIVIL ACTIONS FILED IN 20+ U S D COURT actions in 20+ different JURISDICTIONS with allegations against defendants for negligence to enforce laws not TO PUSH OUT ELECTORAL CONTESTANTS FROM WEAKER COMMUNITIES OF HAVE-nots 3/17/2008 9:04:05 PMRecommend (0) Report Abuse Discussion Policy rmorris391 wrote:well this is "midly amusing".

It is a thinly veiled attempt to incite debate over issues, and non-issues, which may be unrelated to the national campaign. While the Mainstream Media (MSM) has too much time on its hands, to consider a long winded campaign, the focus has shifted to non-political discourse, about intractable problems that confound american society. We have issues related to baseball players, after all, who alledgedly used illegal substances to puff up their biceps. Certainly, congress can devise a surge campaign to intervene with major league baseball, and save the poor players from the rich players. After all, the economic crisis in MLB is looming, and requires some "foreign ownership equity." This is, afterall the land of "ownership." At least that is what a young president Bush promised the american public. Once a new president is elected, a series of "signing agreements" can be implemented to remove my umbrages.3/17/2008 8:54:47 PMRecommend (0) Report Abuse Discussion Policy LL22102 wrote:Man....

Spouse a common law wife Children some, maintained by natural mother concerned Kamal Karna Roy (a/k/a Kamal K.K. Roy, a/k/a Rev. Dr. Joseph Geronimo, Jr.) is a prolific pro se litigant who, since at least the early 1990s, has filed numerous lawsuits throughout the United States and its territories under the names Roy and Joseph Geronimo, Jr., as well as under the names of entities that he is affiliated with, including International Siva Consciousness & World Religions, Reforms International, Handicap Interests International, and Jungle Democracy.[1] Roy's lawsuits are often brought against multiple defendants, and feature long, unconventional complaints. Roy has filed lawsuits against God, U.S. Presidents, Supreme Court Justices, fast food restaurants, foreign leaders.[2], and Wikipedia [3] [4].Roy's lawsuits have addressed, among many other things, actions taken by President George W. Bush, overcharging by telecommunication companies, the appointment of Chief Justice John Roberts to the Supreme Court, and "failure of democratic societies and God's role therein."[5] In 2006 Judge Michael W. McConnell of The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit described a typical Roy complaint:Roy, a/k/a Joseph Geronimo, Jr. filed a 115-page complaint, a 144-page amended complaint, and a 40-page second amended complaint against over sixty defendants, including among many others President Bush, God as U.S.-based divine benefactor, several government agencies, The New York Times, and Kentucky Fried Chicken. In addition to pages of rambling discourse, the complaint contains numerous illegible handwritten remarks.[6]The Tenth Circuit went on to affirm the district court's dismissal of the complaint holding that no discernible claim was apparent from the complaint. Judge McConnell also humorously noted that the court "strongly suspect[ed] at least one defendant was not properly served."[7]Most, if not all, of Roy's complaints have been dismissed. A 2006 United States District Court for the District of Delaware opinion, Jungle Democracy v. U.S., describes Roy as "no stranger to litigation" and provides a partial list of Roy lawsuits that have been dismissed since 1991.[8]Despite Roy's lack of success in the courts, his lawsuits have been discussed in law school classrooms and in law related blogs.[9] [10]In April 2007 Roy filed a civil rights action against, among others, CBS Broadcasting Inc., MSNBC, the United States Government, and controversial radio shock jock Don Imus.[11]In October, 2007, Roy filed a suit in the US District Court, Middle District of Florida, against "Wikipedia Encyclopedia, USA, All News Media, All State Board of Elections, Federal Election Commission".

Spouse a common law wife Children some, maintained by natural mother concerned Kamal Karna Roy (a/k/a Kamal K.K. Roy, a/k/a Rev. Dr. Joseph Geronimo, Jr.) is a prolific pro se litigant who, since at least the early 1990s, has filed numerous lawsuits throughout the United States and its territories under the names Roy and Joseph Geronimo, Jr., as well as under the names of entities that he is affiliated with, including International Siva Consciousness & World Religions, Reforms International, Handicap Interests International, and Jungle Democracy.[1] Roy's lawsuits are often brought against multiple defendants, and feature long, unconventional complaints. Roy has filed lawsuits against God, U.S. Presidents, Supreme Court Justices, fast food restaurants, foreign leaders.[2], and Wikipedia [3] [4].Roy's lawsuits have addressed, among many other things, actions taken by President George W. Bush, overcharging by telecommunication companies, the appointment of Chief Justice John Roberts to the Supreme Court, and "failure of democratic societies and God's role therein."[5] In 2006 Judge Michael W. McConnell of The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit described a typical Roy complaint:Roy, a/k/a Joseph Geronimo, Jr. filed a 115-page complaint, a 144-page amended complaint, and a 40-page second amended complaint against over sixty defendants, including among many others President Bush, God as U.S.-based divine benefactor, several government agencies, The New York Times, and Kentucky Fried Chicken. In addition to pages of rambling discourse, the complaint contains numerous illegible handwritten remarks.[6]The Tenth Circuit went on to affirm the district court's dismissal of the complaint holding that no discernible claim was apparent from the complaint. Judge McConnell also humorously noted that the court "strongly suspect[ed] at least one defendant was not properly served."[7]Most, if not all, of Roy's complaints have been dismissed. A 2006 United States District Court for the District of Delaware opinion, Jungle Democracy v. U.S., describes Roy as "no stranger to litigation" and provides a partial list of Roy lawsuits that have been dismissed since 1991.[8]Despite Roy's lack of success in the courts, his lawsuits have been discussed in law school classrooms and in law related blogs.[9] [10]In April 2007 Roy filed a civil rights action against, among others, CBS Broadcasting Inc., MSNBC, the United States Government, and controversial radio shock jock Don Imus.[11]In October, 2007, Roy filed a suit in the US District Court, Middle District of Florida, against "Wikipedia Encyclopedia, USA, All News Media, All State Board of Elections, Federal Election Commission".

PSYCHICS, please can you help me find out where my next job will be ? Hello. I have been searching for a job lately. It is located on a major beach resort here in the US, on the EAST COAST. I met up with a friend, and he helped me get acquainted with a possible occupation. But, my hours are conflicting with this. They want me to come in at 6 in the morning. But I live 2 hours away, and I can only be there at 8 AM. No later than. It is a plantation complex, and hotels. Nice indeed. But I really wanna work there and fast. I also put applications out at a chick fila, and another hotel called camelot. Is there anyone out there who will hire me in the next few days ? This place is located down South. If you may please help me out OK. Thank you very much.
