Reviving Hialeah

Minor, 43, is a technology entrepreneur and the co-founder of Nasdaq 100 technology news site CNet. In 2004, Forbes listed him as the nation's 15th richest person under 40, estimating his net worth at $286 million. He was in good company. Tiger Woods was 14th and Jay-Z was 16th.

While becoming more immersed in the racing game as an owner, he grew disillusioned with the current state of the slumping sport and wanted to do something major to help bring racing back.

"When I temporarily retired in 2002, I was going to start buying horses and living out my dream," he said. "It was really the first time I had taken a hard look at the state of the industry and, compared to where it was when I was a child, I was shocked. I was blown away by how much the industry had declined. more

Change? Coming right up

Contributing to this change is Aspen resident Scott DeGraff, entrepreneur and business owner. His plans for the future of Snowmass will likely raise many eyebrows, as he will be developing an �ultra lounge� and restaurant in Base Village, called �Liquid Sky� and �Junk.� They will be located at the bottom of Fanny Hill, below the Village Express lift, adjacent to Wood Road. Monday�s Snowmass Town Council meeting featured a presentation by DeGraff who offered his views on the benefits he feels these establishments will provide for the town.�I do things that others don�t, and that�s why I�ve been successful,� said DeGraff. �This is more innovative, more creative, and I do it with a smile. I like to have fun and I like to see other people having fun.�DeGraff�s plans definitely call for things that no one has yet done in Snowmass. more

I have a 2002 Sundiro 50cc street scooter that needs a little attention! I need to find the correct oil that goes the casing at the rear tire, I have pulled the fill plug and checked the oil, its a little low, the oil is somewhat thin and is as clear as water. I also need to know if there is a belt that might need to be changed. it has 1200 miles on it and as to my knowledge nothing has ever been done to it other than changing the spark plug!

Neighbors’ were also very much frustrated by his kind of nature. Kokilaben had lots of faith in God and she was very religious. She was tolerating all her problems silently having lots of faith in God that God will make everything alright one day. But because of Maheshbai’s nature, their business went down gradually and there was not enough income. He started staying at home all day his nature becoming worst.

Resolved Question: Relationship HELP!! In need of some real advice...?

This is totally new to me but I just read this article on MSN titled "The Case Against Settling" and I it spurred me to open the internet window for advice. I am in need of some advice because I am desperate to know if I am settling. Here is my story; I have been dating a man named Mick for 7 months. I am 22 he is 30 almost 31. I met him and started dating him within a month. Things were fun, he was romantic, mature and I know this sounds shallow but he had a great summer house right on a lake. We said I love you within three months and I moved in with him shortly there after. I know this is quick and I have never moved in with a man before but I cared about him and I was having major family issues that influenced our decision for me to move in. It has now been seven months we get along great and we have an adorable puppy. Here is the issue, I was previously seeing (never officially dated) a man named Dave on and off for almost two years. We met through a mutual friend and he was the sexiest man I’d ever met and on top of it he was smart, very confident, owned his own business and he was only 25. He encompassed everything I have ever wanted in a man. Regretfully however, we began seeing each other while he was dating another woman. He said they had been seeing eachother for about a year when in reality as I found out later on he had been dating her for three years. Honestly, I thought it was just a matter of time before he would leave her for me. In the beginning it was bliss, took me on the most lavish dates, we had the most amazing sex and the feelings I had for him were like none other. I was head over heals for him. He even said things like I havent felt this way about another woman in so long and I know this is hard but it will be worth it, he threw up the notion of us taking tropical vacations together…etc. As much as I loved him things started to crack when I began realizing that he wasn’t going to leave his girlfriend and I caught him talking to another women on his cell phone. After this I started to ask him questions about his girlfriend and other women often and often times I would get emotional when we saw each other. He started to push away and as much as I wish I could say I didn’t, I just chased even harder. Often times we would have horrible fights and I would end it saying I never wanted to speak to him again and then I would try to find someone new to replace him with for a month or two. But eventually, I would always go back and he would always take me back. We continued to have sex but the times he would take me out on dates were becoming fewer and fewer. I'd bring this up and he would say its because I cant handle it and I get the wrong impression he isnt looking to date me. I would say if you dont want to be with me then dont talk to me, lets not have sex because that just increases my feelings for you. Saying this never changed anything and it became a cycle I couldnt break. Everyone I knew told me he was using me but I convinced myself that he secretly loved me and couldn’t let me go and that’s why we would always go back to each other. I was very depressed and I think that due to my lack of control on our relationship I developed a slight eating disorder. I cut off 8 inches of my hair dyed it from blonde to dark brown and got a tattoo. I eventually stopped seeing him when I started dating Mick. Dave has contacted me many times since, mostly in the beginning of Mick and I’s relationship and to be honest I even met up with him to see if I could resist him. I couldn’t. I know admitting that isnt exactly glamourous but its the truth. I began to feel like Dave was an addiction of mine. I decided if I wanted to make it work with Mick I would have to block all communication with Dave which I have. His number and email are both blocked. I have seen him at the gym once since I decided to end it for good. We did not talk or even wave at each other but my stomach was in my throat the whole time. I feel like Mick may have been a rebound at first but things work with us and so I have continued to tell myself that I will eventually forget about Dave, but honestly I have not. I think about him almost every day. I feel so guilty about this. Mick knows most of my story with Dave and the topic is very touchy. He is understandably very insecure about Dave (insecure in general really) but we talk about that part of my life less and less. Other than this issue and his insecurity, everything works with Mick and I and he loves me so much. My problem is that I am so worried that I will never truely get over Dave and commit myself fully to Mick. And to make matters worse I feel like time is against me because I overheard him saying he is planning on asking me to marry him this summer. I worry my anxiety over this is holding my true feelings back but I am choosing to stay in this relationship with the hope that time heals all wounds and I will be able to love Mick fu more

Resolved Question: TTC and dealing with extremely immature, depressing family drama?

I don't really know where to begin. My husband and I have been TTC for two years and I have had several cycles of clomid, an abdominal laporoscopy, and now I'm supposed to start a new medication this cycle (not sure the name-- starts with a D). Anyway, we obviously haven't had any luck and I'm beginning to believe that it's because I'm stressed to the max about my idiotic family. My mother and stepdad are both alcoholics who think only of themselves. My mom is contemplating having an affair (of which I hear the sordid details on her two-hour long analytical phone calls each day), plus she is obsessed with other women, whom I also have to hear about daily. My sister is trying her hardest to make her life work but also has major issues regarding work, finances, and interpersonal relations. I have a younger brother who lives at home with my parents and I'm terrified for him. He's doing just average in school and has zero ambition to do anything with his life at this point. He's almost 16. I'm trying my hardest to help him make a plan for his future, but my parents are thwarting any efforts I make with their ridiculous coddling and spoiling. To make matters worse, I have a business that is on the brink of bankruptcy because of the economy. I sold 1/3 of what I did last year, and it was devastating. I haven't taken a paycheck in two years and have to rely solely on my husband for everything financially including gas money and grocery money. I honestly feel as though I have no self worth and have so much stress from my family that I can't take it anymore. I feel like I'm not getting pregnant because I'm so stressed (which is making me even more stressed). How do I break this cycle? I am so incredibly depressed and freaked out that I'm taking too much on my shoulders. I honestly don't know what to do. Any advice that is honest and not rude would be greatly appreciated. more

Resolved Question: Mental!! Help me please, what is this? What is happening to me?!!!?

I am 15 years old and have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety and I also self harm daily but I haven't told my psychiatrist half of what goes on in my head. I'm driving myself insane and I'm scared that if I tell all I will be locked up in a mental hospital as I have been close to that already just from what I have already. Also I have an awful relationship with my parents and want to move out once I am 16. I know it's young but my Boyfriend who is 18 in two months is going to rent a flat with a mate and has asked if I want to join them. We are in a very stable relationship and I want to go to college and get a part time job. So here is the issue... I see a lot of things that aren't there such as: Dead people follow me, I once saw a bench with a couple on on my road and wondered why there was a bench but it wasn't there when I looked back, I once saw a boy on a bike and he cycled up behind me then disappeared, I went to the toilet at night and there was a boy curled up on my stairs crying and saying my name- I ignored him and went to the loo but when I opened the door he was right there just staring and I was too scared to go past him so I just sat in the toilet all night. ect etc Also, I feel like I have unfinished business and building up guilt. When i walk down a street I look at all the houses and flats and in some I can see different murders happening and I feel like I just HAVE to check their house to help them but I obviously can't and know it's crazy! I feel like I am overlooking murders! They can't all be getting killed. I saw a memorial once and could see a load of dead bodies crammed inside it and could even see the story of how they got there in my head. All these stories go on in my head and I can't make them go away. I want to kill as well, I am really curious about how it would feel and how their blood would taste. Help me please, what is happening to me and should I tell, I Want my life back! Help.Please no obnoxious people saying i'm just going through puberty for christ sake, all i want is help. Kids going through puberty do not want to kill and taste blood. and they most certainly do not see things that arent there. more

Resolved Question: Do you think the "radical idea that governments should spend money they don't have may have saved capitalism"?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keynes Keynes's influence waned in the 1970s, partly as a result of problems that began to afflict the Anglo-American economies from the start of the decades, and partly due to critiques from Milton Friedman and other economists who were pessimistic about the ability of governments to regulate the business cycle with fiscal policy.[1] However, the advent of the global financial crisis in 2007 has caused a resurgence in Keynesian thought. Keynesian economics has provided the theoretical underpinning for the plans of President Barack Obama, Prime Minister Gordon Brown and other global leaders to ease the recession.[2] In 1999, Time Magazine named Keynes one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century and reported that, "His radical idea that governments should spend money they don't have may have saved capitalism".[3] Keynes is widely considered the father of modern macroeconomics, and by commentators such as John Sloman, the most influential economist of the 20th century.[4][5][6] In addition to being an economist, Keynes was also a civil servant, a patron of the arts, a director of the Bank of England, an advisor to several charitable trusts, a writer, a private investor, an art collector and a farmer.pluto.............interesting.

Resolved Question: Does anyone Wanna make some money?

Well if you do, then follow these steps: STEP 1. Invest your $5 by writing your name and address on five separate pieces of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST." (In this way, you're not just sending a dollar to someone; you're paying for a legitimate service.) Fold a $1 bill, money order, or bank note inside each paper, and mail them by standard U. S. Mail to the following five addresses: 1)- Steve Ferguson 1076 Mystic Lane North Troy, OH, USA 45373 2)- Heath Ward P.O.Box 2027 Dodge City, Ks 67801 3)- Matthew Kulbacki 1025 12th street Golden, CO, USA 80401 4)- Nikki Robinson 2324 Frederick Place Valdosta, GA 31602 5)- Ian Wooten 2211 SW Hawthorne rd. Winston-Salem,NC 27103 STEP 2. Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other names up. This way, #5 becomes #4 and so on. Put your name in as the fifth one on the list. STEP 3. Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are at least 17000 newsgroups at any given moment in time. Try posting to as many newsgroups as you can. Remember the more groups you post to, the more people will see your article and send you cash! STEP 4. You are now in business for yourself, and should start seeing returns within 7 to 14 days! Remember, the internet is new and huge. There is no way you can lose. Now here is how and why this system works: Out of every block of 200 posts I made, I got back 5 responses. Yes, that’s right, only 5. You make $5.00 in cash, not checks or money orders, but real cash with your name at #5. Each additional person who sent you $1.00 now also makes 200 additional postings with your name at #4, 1000 postings. On average then, 50 people will send you $1.00 with your name at #4,....$50.00 in your pocket! Now these 50 new people will make 200 postings each with your name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return, 500 people= $500. They make 200 postings each with your name at #2= 100,000 postings=5000 returns at $1.00 each=$5,000.00 in cash! Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings each with your name at #1 and you get a return of $50,000 before your name drops off the list. And that's only if everyone down the line makes only 200 postings each! Your total income for this one cycle is $55,000. From time to time when you see your name is no longer on the list, you take the latest posting you can find and start all over again. The end result depends on you. You must follow through and repost this article everywhere you can think of. The more postings you make, the more cash ends up in your mailbox. It's too easy and too cheap to pass up!!! So that’s it. Pretty simple sounding stuff, huh? But believe me, it works. There are millions of people surfing the net every day, all day, all over the world. And 100,000 new people get on the net every day. You know that, you've seen the stories in the paper. So, my friend, read and follow the simple instructions and play fair. That’s the key, and that’s all there is to it. Print this out right now so you can refer back to this article easily. Try to keep an eye on all the postings you made to make sure everyone is playing fairly. You know where your name should be. If you're really not sure or still think this can't be for real, then don't do it. But please print this article and pass it along to someone you know who really needs the money, and see what happens. more

Resolved Question: 1. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Japanese approach to product development?

The Japanese methodology: Japanese industrial combines are not what they appear to be. They do not develop all of their own product line, nor do they manufacture it. In reality, these huge businesses are more like “Trading companies”. That is, rather than design and manufactures their own goods, they actually coordinate a complex design and manufacturing process that involves thousands of smaller companies. The goods you buy with a famous maker’s name inscribed on the case are seldom the product of that company’s factory – and often not even the product of its own research. Some else designed it, someone else put it together, someone stuck it in a box with the famous maker’s name on it and then shipped it to its distributors. Does this operation sound unnecessarily complex? Obviously, these huge corporations have their own factories and workers. So why don’t they employ their own resources to produce the goods they sell? They do, of course – but only partially. For instance, it would make every little sense for an electronics giant like Matsushita to farm out the design, manufacture and assembly of a refrigerator or microwave oven. These products are ideally suited to mass production in the kind of large, highly automated factories that the giant companies can afford. Their factories produce hundreds of thousands of these units every year. But what about products that companies must continually redesign to compete for public acceptance – like headphone stereos, small compact disc players, or personal computers? Redesigning means retooling a production line. It means sourcing new parts and lots of other things. For a typical product, a company might expect to sell 30,000 units in a few months, retool, sell another 50,000 u nits, redesign some basic components, retool again, see what the competition brings out, retool again and on and on, throughout the life cycle of the entire product line. Although some of the giant makers are now employing the newest flexible manufacturing system (FMS) to allow them more freedom in production, this retooling process is something many big companies want to eliminate. Thus, they farm out much of this business to subcontractors – smaller companies they can depend on. These companies in turn, faced with redesigning and producing a product three or four times a year, will subcontract the design or manufacture of a dozen key components to still smaller companies. How extensive is this sub contracting pyramid? Would you guess a few dozen companies? a few hundred? Think again. One electronics company I know has over 6,000 subcontractors in its industrial group, most of them tiny ships that exist just to fill a few little orders for the companies above them. Welcome to the real world of Japanese manufacturing. 1.What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Japanese approach to product development? more

Resolved Question: How can I tell if this is a legit job?

I have been talking back and forth with this so-called company in the UK. They haven't been asking me to cash 10% and send that back, like most scams I've seen. They're actually offering to pay me $750 a week plus 8% of each transaction. It's the same basic scam cycle I've seen with the cashing customer's checks in my bank account. I have been able to find the company's website and it basically says the same thing. I have also been able to find the company using a white pages of sorts for the UK. The only thing that bugs me is how, if he's from the UK, he has such trouble speaking English. I don't really know if they're legit and of course the guy I'm talking to will tell me they are so help me please! The name of the company is Neo Investment Management. They claim they're creating a US branch in mid-July of this year and that this is a legit company by US standards. This is his latest e-mail to me: Thank you for your reply. You will work from home until we open our US branch. We care to explain to you thoroughly the entire process that will possibly be the best job you will ever have. This job is possible because our company has its headquarters in London, UK. As such we do not yet have our offices in the United States. Until we do we will always need representatives in the USA to take care of some financial matters. At this time we cannot accept direct payments and orders from our clients and customers. Due to the local and international law the only way we can sell internationally is to open local sales offices/branches (our 1st US branch will be opened in mid-July, 2009) or use company representatives for these purposes. That is why we are hiring representatives and asking for bank details information. You are the part of our team and you have full rights. The problem we are facing is the time necessary for our company to receive the funds from bank transfers paid by our customers from the USA after they have received our financial products and/or services. It takes approximately 2 to 3 weeks to clear these funds in United Kingdom. This is where you can help us. It would speed up the process tenfold. We have already made a signed agreement with the US officials and we are paying all the necessary taxes for our business. This job is legal according to the US legislation as it is today. We do make background research on all our US customers before we sell our products/or services. We also verify the checks for funds availability before it arrives to you. In an outstanding case of any problem, we offer a full guarantee to cover the fees and the whole amount on any check. This way you can feel absolutely protected and safe. $750.00 per week is your guaranteed basic salary, plus you will receive 8% from each transaction you process. I would like to confirm once again that this is absolutely legal opportunity. I can tell you more, this is a unique job offer from our company and this position is limited. So don’t waste your time, join us, you have nothing to lose. Please confirm your interest and I will send you our Application Form.Well the company has sent me the application form. I was curious to see if it contained any questions about personal information but it looks just like a normal application form. It asks for my name, residence, stuff like that, and 3 references of mine. more

Resolved Question: Nutrition/Lifestyle Wellness slogan - HELP!?

Hi Everyone! I am stumped trying to come up with a catchy slogan for my new business cards and eventually my website. I don’t really have a niche market, yet. So for now, I’d like a slogan that conveys a general message of promoting a joyous and healthy lifestyle. And by lifestyle I mean – dietary, physical, mental and spiritual. The company name is Wellness.thru.Nutrition. I will work with my clients guiding them (not telling them what to do but helping them find their own way) to achieve their goals of a happy, healthy, fit, energetic life. I’d like my slogan to convey something like a combination of these messages: (these are a few statements I’ve seen in books/websites that I like but can’t use): * Goals of your personalized health counseling program are to radically improve your life, resolve concerns specific to you and your body, and to provide you with tools for a lifetime of balance. * Help you achieve life-long health and happiness * Heal your body and mind with natural foods! * Balance your diet for optimum health! * Understand the relationship between your emotions and food! * Lose weight the natural and safe way! * Healthy eating, juicy living, guilt free self care * It is Time to Let Go of the Diet Cycle Once and For All! * Improve your eating habits * Experience a lasting increase in your energy and vitality * Stop your cravings and binges * Use natural cures to alleviate digestive disorders, chronic conditions, allergies, asthma, PMS, skin disorders * Feel better in your body and achieve your ideal weight Thanks for reading and I’d appreciate any suggestions you can send my way. :-) more

Resolved Question: I hate AT&T, want to switch to T-Mobile w/ iPhone. Has anyone done this?

I know T-Mobile supports the iPhone because I went into a T-Mobile store to buy my boyfriend the G1 and mentioned how I missed being on T-Mobile. They didn't have any ridiculous charges and had always been good to me when I was on their plan with my previous phone (BlackBerry). The employee cut me off and said "Actually, a lot of people don't think we do, but we DO in fact support iPhones." The thing is, I don't know if that's going to make a change in how well my phone works. I don't want it to not have internet anymore if I switch or something crazy like that. I want it to work as well as it does now. AT&T is a HORRIBLE company and have jerked me around for over 4 months. I want to get off my brother's old plan and they tell me all I have to do is call, give them my name, a fee (surprise, surprise), and I'll be all set. Then I call and they tell me I need to go to a store with my brother and tranfer it there. Then we show up at the store and they say we can't and that I have to open a whole new contract FOR $500!!!! AAAAND (get this!) I have to call in order to do it. It's been a never ending cycle of me quoting and taking down names and yelling at them because they don't communicate within their business. And I never lose my patience with that stuff. It's getting RIDICULOUS though. Obviously $500 is not an option for me, so I want to take up the offer to join T-Mobile again, but I just want to ask someone who has done it what they had to do, how much it was, and how well everything works. I'm sure the company won't tell me their flaws & consequences of them supporting my iPhone. Hope someone can help! Thanks!!! Oh and please describe it without the unlocked/locked crap because I don't know what that stuff means, hahaha. If it is necessary to the process, could you please tell me the difference of unlocked and locked iphones. Thanks! more

Voting Question: I'm in love with a verbal abuser.?

I don't know what to do anymore. I have been with my boyfriend for 2 years and he is two people in one. He is very sweet and his good side and sweet voice melts my heart. I am so heart broken. I've been crying for two days. When you love someone with real deep love and they say the meanest things u could ever imagine it cuts your heart into pieces. I have never been so hurt and so insulted. He makes me feel lower than rubbish and it's breaking my self esteem so much that I feel suicidal. How can I only love one half of a person and how will I ever really feel loved? I can't even imagine anymore how nice it must be to feel loved. He has absolutely no respect for me and he even spat on me once and called me real bad names. He says I don't deserve his love but all I ever did was love and support him. I helped him to start a business and I built up his self esteem by showing him love and saying nice things. My love is running out becoz I'm not getting anything back. I am craving to have loving arms around me. I just want to feel like a woman with value. But he can't love me in a way that I can really feel. I have a counselling diploma and I know how to handle an abusive person. I read many books. The tough love method doesn't work. He doesn't change. Even if I break up with him it only teaches him a lesson for a short time and then it's back to the abusive cycle. A part of me wants to leave him becoz I need to be loved and he can't give it. His love doesn't get through to me. I don't feel loved and I will never be satisfied if I stay with him becoz he doesn't know how to love a woman. The other part of me wants him becoz of MY feelings for him. He is my first true love and my heart is going to break into a million pieces. He melts my heart away when I look at him. He takes my breath away and makes my heart stop. I am still so in love with him after 2 years as if we met yesterday. But I never get that love back from him. I will never feel loved, desired, wanted or respected. He is draining me. Can anyone help me decide what to do?Yes, he was diagnosed with OCD in the form of "obsessive thoughts". He gets these thoughts and then attacks me. He also has depression and is on antidepressants. The other problem I have is that he threatens to kill himself if I break up with him and he goes into a downward spiral and wants to give everything up, even his business. That makes it hard. He cries and says he can't live without me and it makes me feel bad. I don't like hurting him, but he is hurting me. more

Resolved Question: Why is human nature so bad?

After living for a while, and I'm only 27, but still, I've gathered enough life experience and enough knowledge of human nature, and their pursuits, interests, goals, and activities, to realize that most of it is essentially meaningless, without higher purpose, aimless, or if it does have reason and agenda, its mostly selfish intent, or aspiring to please others, better themselves to be able to overpower others, etc.... it's not very good, or selfless or humanitarian. Even the philantropic efforts...might be started by a few good men with a few good ideas, but the others who fall into it all are pretty much just sheep who are doing it because it's the right thing to do or whatever, not because they REALLY want to.( Kind of like back in grade school where people joined clubs/organizations just because it looked good on their resumes, not because they really cared by any means.) I mean it's just the way it is. First we have countless of people, and people have about 1000000 kids, and don't really think or care about that person's individual development, they just think life is simple, everyone grows up, enjoys this "blessing" of an experience, watches the good ol' baseball games, eats hotdogs, and gets married, and the cycle continues. It's NOT that simple.... and if people are really THAT small minded, then I pity them. But I wouldn't be surprised if that's how most people are. Then we have how this whole world basically runs on money/business, devoid of ANY spirituality or any higher purpose, but the material. That leads again to competition, hoarding, selfishness, connivingness, all sorts of sh9t. MOST people I know are like this by nature to a degree and that's that. Then we have people who are lustful and go after those pursuits, and the list goes on. Then of course we have all the frustration, the failings, the problems, k9llings, dr8gs, religious differences, squabbles, bla bla bla. If you want to talk about the "Good" stuff...well , I ask you what good stuff? What is REALLY particularly good? Religion/God is corrupt and many d9ed in it's name. Even Walt Disney world was created by a man who wasn't very good, very overpowering and nasty to his employees, and was accused of being a N@zi.,...none of it is good. It's all shady , and there's more than meets the eye. Singers/actors? Corrupt and fake as sh9t, supported by their greedy family. Politicians? Power hungry, intellectual know-it-alls, who do it for the prestige, and then get to secretly f8ck either boys or girls of their choice behind closed doors, and cheat on their wives. Much more goes on than the public knows about. And of course secret/shady money deals. Business leaders and successful pepole, authors, writers? You think they have the time or care to stop and smell the daisies? Ahahah. Nope, it's still all about getting ahead and intellectualism for these folks, who try to argue that hey, intellectualism isn't all bad, ....(but of course it's because it makes them successful, so they want to say that, to support their individualistic and selfish pursuits)> So there you have it, long story short, humans SUCK. But why are we so inherently bad? We judge at face value, snap/judge, exclude/include people based on what they have, their outsides, compete with people, are vain, materialistic, lstful, all sorts of evils. We might as well call planet earth Hell,because it sure resembles it. We are also addicted to sports, poker, competition, because we just want to "win," it seems, we have this natural desire to conquer and win, like we can't just sit still, be happy and enjoy peace, we just HAVE to be barbaric... lol. Do any of you other people here already realize all of these things about this world? If so...what are your conclusions? I'm sure some of you just pop a pill and don't give it much thought, and go on caring about yourselves once more. It's like...I'm asking other flawed/bad humans a question about flawed/bad humans, so what more can I expect? :sigh: lol. Life's mysteries.. more

Resolved Question: Ultimate II water softener?

I have a water softener and the only detail on it is the label that states Ultimate II. I have searched online and can not find this name brand anywhere. The company that installed it is no longer in business and I do not have any paperwork on it. I am trying to figure out how to maintenance it and fix a problem. There is a small white plastic gear coming off of the motor, it fits in to a larger black gear. The black gear controls the cycles of the water softener. The problem is that the white gear is unable to turn the black gear, for some reason the black gear is stuck to the point that it started chewing off the teeth of the white gear. Has anyone ever heard of this brand? Or is there anyone out there that can give me some advice as to how to fix this problem.No there is no other label on it anywhere more

Resolved Question: How do I invest my money intelligently? Which banks really have my best interests in mind?

Recently JP Morgan Chase has taken over Washington Mutual, and I've grown increasingly aware of the many policies they intent to change as they get rid of everything I once liked about Washington Mutual. They're adding in more fees, they are redoing credit cards to carry the Chase name and higher interest rate, and they are becoming a more globalized company. When I asked the teller at my bank to cash out my Rewards Cash Rebate that has accumulated on my credit card, she didn't even know what it was, but she knew all about the new "rewards points" system they are soon switching to. I had to send a message through their website help center to request my rebate instead, and the message I got back was that it may take one to two months (the next billing cycle) for them to send me a check. At the end of this month, all customer's Rewards Cash is going to disappear and be converted into points. Should I be concerned that JP Morgan Chase is trying to pull a fast one on me? Telling customers they have 30 days before Rewards Cash become worthless points doesn't seem very honest to me. (I think I would rather buy TrendWest vacation shares than continue to use a Chase card.) I'm really thinking about closing all my accounts at Washington Mutual. I really don't want to invest money into a super bank that just wants to take my money away. How can I find an honest bank that is still convenient (later business hours and easy to find in the Pacific Northwest USA)? What is a good place to invest my savings, even if I'm only investing $50-$100 per month? Where can I get a zero interest visa or mastercard with good customer service, and potential rewards? My credit score is excellent and untarnished. I'm 28 years old and single, and looking to set up a good financial future for myself. Let me know what you think. I want to make good choices for myself, but most people only seem to know about the banks that are the most heavily advertised and commercialized. Should I consider investing my money into something with more tangible value, because the US currency is on the verge of total collapse? What do you recommend? more

After my last class I went back to Mr. Jacobson and he said” what do you mean decptors is that a new club or gang you know this school doesn’t tolerate people in gangs especially a person as talented as you” than there was silence 2 minutes of it to be exact I finally spoke up and said” so, what I do in my private time is my business and you have no say in what I do and even if I was in a gang no one would know, and if you ever ask me about my life again I will personally see that you never see the light of day again.” He looked like a man that just hung himself cold as stone white as a piece of paper he then took out some pieces of paper and said” near the end of time near the end of the world there will be a messiah that will utter time to its will and bring order out of the chaos it created there will be no rest for the new era has come were demons rule and angels burn in the fiery pits of hell”.

Resolved Question: Has my puppy potty training efforts been ruined?

I have read numerous questions/answers on here about potty training as well as read a few puppy training books. I apologize for resorting to asking yet another potty training question, but I do need some new ideas as I'm running out of ideas. I have had my 3 month old, male, poodle (named Mosby) for about 3 and a half weeks now. I know it's still the beginning stages, but I crate trained him pretty successfully with little accidents in the house. Crate training him was GREAT! And Mosby was doing great! We had the perfect routine going, he knew where to go to the bathroom outside, he even began to let me know he needed to go- it was the ideal training situation. However, about 4 days ago he started behaving badly. Partially, I thought this might have something do to with our Pitbull scare. Mosby was out doing his business when my idiot neighbor, who feels his pitbull is so perfectly trained that he allows his dog to enter in and out of his house, unleashed and unsupervised to go to the bathroom. I personally think that is incredibly irresponsible no matter how friendly and how well you have trained this agressive breed. Sure enough that pitbull came charging and barking after me and Mosby and scared the crap out of Mosby (literally, my dog pooped all over me). Since then my dog refuses to go outside willing. He'd start to pee or poop in the house and I'd pick him up automatically and take him outside and tell him "Go potty!" He'd go... but as soon he'd come inside again he'd instantly return to the same spot that he was trying to pee in before and do it again! I'd take him outside... repeat the process... come inside... and he'd do it again! I put him in a time out in his crate. No whining from him, he'd take a nap, play with his toys. I'd let him out and go straight to the bathroom outside (which he does) and then he'd come inside again and go straight to that same spot that he misbehaved in. I've been trying to reinforce his good behavior (which really isn't the greatest right now) with his training treats. And then on top of that he's suddenly getting... mean! Like biting my face, biting my legs and arms to the point that I bleed (I try to distract him with his chew toys) and barking at me. He wasn't like that before... I have even sprayed "natures miracle" on that spot in the house which breaks down the enzymes or whatever so that he can't smell where he was having his accidents This has been going on for 4 days and today I've decided to just let him chill in his crate. He doesn't seem to mind. But when I take him out to potty the whole cycle happens over again. I'm exhausted and bandaged up. And it seems he isn't making much other progress, except being a little more willing to go for walks outside and do "some" of his business outdoors Any suggestions would be great. more

Resolved Question: Here is my solution to the economy what do you think ?

I am a Republican, so I believe in Small Government, Less Tax, and a Strong Military. My Social stances include, Pro-life, Pro-Israel, Pro-marriage, and Pro-NRA. Subject-wise has hovered around History because much of my political beliefs have been shaped by what I learned in the past. History plays a key role in shaping our future so we can learn from it or repeat our mistakes. Issues Taxes The Republican Party: Working to slash your taxes! The Republican Party is working every day to cut your taxes! By contrast, professional politicians from the other parties just want more of your money, and are busy increasing the size of government! In the last few decades, the federal government has exploded in size! No area of your life or business is free from the meddling of politicians -- especially your wallet! It doesn't have to be that way! With less government and lower taxes, you could keep more of what you earn! It would be easier to start new businesses, build new homes, and fuel stronger economic growth! Just Defend Our Rights Republicans believe that if government's role were limited to protecting our lives, rights and property, then America would prosper and thrive as never before! Then the federal government could concentrate on protecting our Constitutional rights and defending us from foreign attack! A federal government that did only those two things, could do them better and at a small fraction of the cost! How Can We Cut Taxes? Instead of tending to the basics, government has grown into a bloated conglomerate of political services that gets larger every year -- with no end in sight! For example, politicians spend millions of dollars to urge people not to smoke -- while spending more millions to subsidize tobacco farmers! They send billions overseas for foreign aid -- while the federal deficit swells! They spend millions to subsidize public art -- while working families struggle to pay their taxes! Politicians also run trains, bail out savings and loans, construct houses, sell insurance, print books, and build basketball courts -- you name it! But the fact is, every service supplied by the government can be provided better and cheaper by private business! Privatize And Cut Taxes All over the world, governments are busy selling airlines, power plants, housing, and factories to private owners! Where inefficient government bureaucrats lost money and squandered tax dollars, hard-working private owners now make profits and create new jobs! Why can't we do the same thing in America? Defend America: Cut Taxes Military expenses are over $250 billion a year! A large percentage of this is spent overseas to defend wealthy countries like Germany and Japan -- who then wallop us in international trade! Let's take them off military welfare! We can defend America better and save at least $100 billion a year in taxes! Stop Bailing Out Industry No one has the right to cover his losses at taxpayer expense -- and yet wealthy corporations demand exactly that! The federal government has bailed out railroads, banks, and other corporations with your tax dollars! This must stop! Replace Welfare: Cut Taxes The bulk of your welfare tax dollars goes to pay the handsome salaries of well-educated welfare workers! The poor get little from government welfare except meager handouts and a cycle of despair! Let's get government out of the charity business! Private charities and groups do a better and more efficient job of helping the truly needy get back on their feet! Why An Income Tax? Before 1913, federal income taxes were rare and short-lived! America became the most prosperous nation on earth! The U!S! Government did not try to police the world or play "nanny" to everyone from cradle to grave! People took responsibility for themselves, their families, and their communities! That is how the founders of America thought it should be! And it worked! It can again! more

Resolved Question: Madame HRH, The car giveaways, spree shopping, internet lotteries etc that Herman was involved with continue.?

These have had a tremendously negative market aspect. I had requested that VI/ BVI authorities look into this in January of 2007 when I first established it was going on to ascertain where these large deliveries of autos was coming from. Furthermore, I have learned that Mr. Lloyd has obtained an international passport through Anguilla. Mr. Lloyd, who cannot legally participate in the election process in the continental US has told me that he has bought California, which I am very susceptible to believing. He says he has established a majority proxy voting block and apparently whatever is happening in the CDS swap market is partially controlled by his hedge and others like him. I believe that the significant component is that these are non-visble hedges. Where unlike having a known business and a hedge fund manager of record, these are played in family groups, social clubs, loose associations etc. President Rajapaksa can provide you with the name of the inspector I was working with in the BVI, my hopes are that through that information due diligence has been conducted to the events surrounding the 2007 Rolex Regatta. He knows the unbelievable levels of harrasment faced by Mr. Lloyd and my dire concern. Lately Mr. Lloyd has been speaking of the connections between my family and his own (of which, truly there should be none.) Please consult and advise Raja, as these events are convoluted and and of such a sensitive nature. The cycle has begun again instead of yearly now its bi-annually. I believe that Mr. Lloyd needs to be detained as does his sister and financial advisor. I have stated previously that Mr. Lloyd had originally found out that his family trust was being manipulated, for very short periods of time in a daytrading type of forum. I am seeing the resulting indoctrination even in the house I am living in now with a roomate turning up suddenly with vehicle he can ill afford. I have contacted Ambassador Wickremesuriya's hand phone again today. My address/telephone details are with him as well as his with his assistant. I am requesting meeting with the same UN work group including Secretary Ban in the frame between the religious tolerance symposium and the economic crisis symposium. I would be grateful for your assistance in coordinating such. On a domestic note, when I heard about the bankruptcyb at Spode, my thoughts immediately went to the rail system that I know has a junction in that area. I do not believe that this is a preamble of an imminent nature such as the nazi/IED matter but definitely one to monitor in the 6 month to 1 year term when discord will be at a high from job loss/housing shifts in this traditional artisan community. By the way fuel effecient/green cars were Herman's hallmark. The large trucks as I am seeing in my drive were Cabre. more

Resolved Question: Is it true that 'Joe the Plumber' is a republican right wing plant?

Every one is doing background checks on this guy Joseph Wurzelbacher and who he says he is doesn't match up to the claims of him being a plumber trying to buy a business. Dailykos found several business with his name and initials on the same street. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081016/ap_on_el_pr/joe_the_plumber;_ylt=AtVW2SdPvZ1m6Jzcw3T70QBh24cA http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/16/02217/845 "Two readers with access to the Ohio voter file say that Joe Wurzelbacher's inluence on this cycle will be limited in one way: He doesn't appear to be registered to vote.... (And yes, the freelance opposition research on Joe began before the debate ended.)" http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1008/The_Joe_file.html Is Joe really a republican plant hired to give McCain the 'October Surprise' a new campaign energy for the next three weeks for the election? Yahoo News reports that Joe doesn't have a plumbing license. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081016/ap_on_el_pr/joe_the_plumber more

Resolved Question: Personal statement???? how should i end it?

My grandparents are successful entrepreneurs owning a chain of Chinese restaurants and a factory producing soya bean products in Scotland. Therefore from early childhood, I was exposed to a business related environment. I enjoy the many challenges of running a business; however I realised that a business evolves and problems arise through economic cycles. Hence unless I get a good grounding in Business Studies at university I would not be able to meet these challenges. More importantly, at school I enjoy Business studies, Economics and Art which I took for my A-Levels and Mathematics for my AS. I think these subjects’ compliments each other really well and will bring great advantages to my Higher Education in Business. I believe having a good understanding in Economics will be a good foundation for Business, also my interest in Art enables me to be innovative and think ‘outside the box’ which is one of the key elements in Business Studies. A good understanding in Maths will also benefit me from further education in Business as managing finance is a fundamental part in the subject. I took Business Management in standard grade and A-Level; it has always been my strongest subject and the subject which I enjoy the most. So I wish to continue my enthusiasm in the subject at university. I am currently completing the Chartered Institute of Bankers in Scotland (CIOBS) qualification, which is really beneficial to my further studies in business and helped me to understand the workings of the banking industry(I.e. how the market customers, how the banking industry evolved and the financial side of it.) I am fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin which I believe is a great advantage since the Asian market is growing rapidly and by speaking the language and having a good understanding of their cultures will be very valuable for understanding International business. In August 2007, I was presented with the opportunity to work as a full time “Administrative Assistant” for Capital Artists Ltd, a venture division of SCMP group in Hong Kong. The company dealt some of the biggest names in the Hong Kong and International music industry. My main responsibility within the company was to ensure there were no copyright infringements on songs owned by the company. This job opportunity also helped me to improve my communication skills as I had to establish a working relationship with my boss and other employees who were more mature and knowledgeable than me. In addition, provided me with a deeper insight of the music industry – its inner workings and evolving problems. During my work experience I was able to apply my knowledge of Business Studies into real life situations and problems such as strategic planning. Having the position as a House prefect and Art Reputation at school, I’ve learnt the importance responsibility and developed a good communication skill as I was given tasks to fulfil and had to find ways of bonding and taking care of younger students. Being a black belt (1st Dan) in Karate has taught me to be really hard working and ambitious. feedbacks? more

Resolved Question: Collusion or Price Fixining?

I own a small motorcycle dealership in Ohio. The nearest other motorcycle dealership is 20 miles south of my dealership. I opened for business three months ago. The other day the owner of this other dealership 20 miles away came by my dealership to introduce himeself to pay me a visit. He was complaining about my prices for cycles being too low. He said I should pad or increase by at least $500.00. My prices are a bit lower than his for the same and/or comparable products. He threatened to bash my name if I don't increase my prices. He left on a note of, "Maybe we can help each other out in the future." Anyways would what he did be illegal, in terms of attempted price collusion or price fixing? If so, what should I do? more

Resolved Question: In light of the current economic crisis, could this movie change America?

Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson understood "The Monster". But to most Americans today, Federal Reserve is just a name on the dollar bill. They have no idea of what the central bank does to the economy, or to their own economic lives; of how and why it was founded and operates; or of the sound money and banking that could end the statism, inflation, and business cycles that the Fed generates. Dedicated to Murray N. Rothbard, steeped in American history and Austrian economics, and featuring Ron Paul, Joseph Salerno, Hans Hoppe, and Lew Rockwell, this extraordinary new film is the clearest, most compelling explanation ever offered of the Fed, and why curbing it must be our first priority. Alan Greenspan is not, we're told, happy about this 42-minute blockbuster. Watch it, and you'll understand why. This is economics and history as they are meant to be: fascinating, informative, and motivating. This movie could change America. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYZM58dulPEThe above description is the review that was written in 2006... This movie came out years ago & explains the root of the current economic crisis in plain English. Too bad nobody paid any attention.Caretaker - Youtube is just a repository of video files... it has nothing to do with the quality or the content of the video - surely you know that. This movie was released by the Ludwig von Misis Institute and is a credible source. http://mises.org/about.aspx 98% of this movie is historical fact... with a few "interpretations" thrown in... I'm not about the change my opinion based on a few of the "700 replies" to the video... more
