Open Question: How about those Green Job Losses in California?

California is likely to look modest job losses in the close term from its aggressive climate change policy due to higher energy costs and other factors, the state's independent Legislative Analyst's Office said. The budget watchdog was responding to a request by Republican state Senator Dave Cogdill to study the effects of California's 2006 climate change law, which mandates changes to clip greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/22/20100309/tpl-environment-us-climate-california-20b2d2f.html As goes California, so goes the US? How's that Crap and Tax working? 2.2 jobs lost for every "green job" in Europe, and NOW California! Are the warmers glad now? Do the libs never tire of Alinsky Deflection, Denial and Ridicule...

Open Question: Weirdest criminal investigation ever?

In the United Kingdom on the 17th March 2005, there was a very odd criminal investigation that took place, which resulted in a very serious problem. There was a man that had died when he was going out with his girl-pal, and he was found dead the next day by another resident of the home that they were staying in. No one knew why he had died, other than the fact that odd noises could be heard the night before which sounded like screaming. The police suspected that there was a murder committed, and a full public inquiry commenced (which meant in the UK by law every information would be made public on the case). The autopsy found no toxins, no signs of strangulation or anything. About 3 days later, the girl-pal admitted as to what the cause of his death was, and she said that she was the cause; and she gave them a video tape which of when his death occurred. Since this was a public inquiry, it meant that the content of what was on the video was submitted as well; which unfortunately for the dead-men was footage of him dying in bed of a heart attack, as a result of being too exited when having sex with his wife. And yes, it had to be made public due to a legal technicality like I mentioned, and it was broadcast in national television. After this, an amendment to the law took place relating to public inquiries; which was the result of this case. What do you think to this? CREED http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_inquiry

Open Question: Customer service problem at a gym, maybe?

So i possess a gym, has weights, a pool, and a basketball court. Structured as a private club. There are some state regulations that i HAVE to follow, and absolutely can't compromise on. There are some other rules set up, just from personal experience on what works and what doesn't...a few from my insurance company too. Anyways, the business is not in a bad area, not much crime, maybe 1 murder every 2 years (in the entire town), etc. Almost daily, i have people coming in demanding i do things their way, and its their right to use the place for free, and its not their problem about the laws.......and then they'll just start walking into the facility. I'm breaking about 10 laws when i let someone use the place without a membership....its not loop-holes, clearly stated i can do such and such if i'm membership only, but can't if i'm open to the public. And my costs skyrocket if i let it be open to the public, which gives me less incentive to let people in for free....and there already is none. It always starts out polite, but it eventually gets to the point where I'm screaming receive out or i'm calling the police. I put a big sign on the door that has this every explained, a little more concise, apparently no one reads. Any suggestions on how to fix this, or is it just something i have to deal with. I'll put 2 examples below....don't have the time, can skip it, but i think it adds some clarity. Like today, my basketball court was rented, and a group of people came in, no membership yet, said they wanted to use the court, I told them they could use the relax of the facility until the rental was over. They were like ok, we'll think about it. Then they came back and said i lied to them, that there are people playing basketball on the court, for free. I explained that one person paid for the rental, and the relax are part of his rental, and that its a basketball court, thats what it gets rented for..and that those guys can't use the relax of the facility, just the court. So they demand i cancel the rental, and let them rent it....I told them i can't do that. Then they bolt up to the court, saying they are part of the rental. I usually don't tolerate this, but i follow them up. The rental told me, no they aren't. I told them to leave, but they can sign up and use the relax of the facility until the rental is over. One person starts cursing in front of little kids, saying its not right that someone can rent the court, then pick who gets to use it. I told them to watch their language, they said they don't have to hear to me, they are grown adults and can do whatever they want...they already know i'm the owner at this point. One person walks out the door and starts to tell me how they are coming back and going to kick.....i close the door on the them, didn't hear the relax. Or this weekend, we had a birthday party, the parties are suppose to schedule clean up as part of their rental, but we usually give an extra 15 minutes...and they can wait in the lobby until the parents pick up every the kids.....after 15 minutes, the person working, kept calm, but started pressuring them to leave. 15 minutes later, the next birthday party arrived. The manager gets a call a few days later saying the person working the desk tried to receive them to leave after their rental was over...and that isn't right.

Open Question: Is having expensive things on your gift/bridal registry selfish?

I'm going to make this simple. So here is a timeline to preface my question. 1. Fiance and I register at store 2. Her mom sees an xbox, a gps, a Digital Camera, a TV, and washer/dryer on the registry. We have other less expensive things like towels and dishes on there. 3. Mom calls bride and flips out because "she didn't lift her daughter to be so greedy" and its "rude, self centered, and embarrassing to have things like that on a registry" my question is: Are we being rude or greedy? Or is my mom-In-Law to be just a raging and controlling bitch? She did say "if i was invited and saw this registry i just wouldn't go" So did she uninvite herself? I kinda wish so.

Open Question: What do you make of Obama's father like chiding of insurance companies for raising premiums?

I am every in favor of substantial health care reform. I have noticed this habit obama has of criticizing executives of major corporations for trying to make profits. This makes no sense at every. Its almost like a "please please messrs, CEO's can you please act right and not be so greedy"?? He did the same sort of thing regarding the CEO bonuses for wall road etc.. I always felt that its not the govt's job to plead with any industries or businesses to do "the right" thing...the right thing for any business is to make money. So if govt wants to have them behave a certain way, it simply needs to make laws or policies to make sure the behavior they want is what happens. this please please will you do the right thing attitude is a joke as it really just proves that these politicians dont have the independence to challenge businesses any more like they used to be able to do in the USA decades ago.

Open Question: In Texas, do you legally have to change your address if you are temporary living somewhere?

I recently got a ticket and on the sheet where it says the prices of every the different tickets it shows one of the tickets they give as "failure to change address on liscense".I am a college student and I do not change my address because I am considered a temporary resident and I leave my parent's address on my liscense because I have actually moved like 4 or 5 times in the past year so I do not find it necessary to change it. But my question is, what is the law for college students because I know that students who live in dorms usually change dorm rooms every semester so that would mean they would be needing to change their address with DMV every 5-6 months. And like I said I have moved 4 to 5 times in the past year. Is there something for temp residents that do not need to change their address? Bc the cops have already given a warning to my boyfriend who lives with me for it.. and I do not want to receive a ticket for something so stupid, but at the same time I want to leave my parent's address as my permanent one.

Open Question: Can I take back a boat my ex-boyfriend has in his possession that is in my name?

My ex-boyfriend and I got a boat while we were still together, but I paid for 100% of it. I have since moved out of the home we shared together, but now I want the boat that I paid for, and he is not willingly giving it to me, claiming that it was "a gift." However, on the title that he has, it has both of our names stating: His name "OR" My name (If it really was just a gift for him, why is MY name on the title too then!?). I have since gone to the DMV and gotten a new title that has ONLY my name on it, and the title that he has is now null and void. However, when I tried to go over there with the police and take the boat back, the police said that the DMV is not law, and that even though the new title says I am the sole owner of the boat, I can't just take it. Does anyone know the proper steps to take to receive the boat I paid for back?

Open Question: 2 year old daughter is having explosive pale diarrhea, what should I do?

Okay I know a lot of you are going to tell me to look the doc but I live in China and I've already done that. They tested her poo for parasites and sent us home. Here's the situation Female 2 year old 22 lbs Explosive diarrhea for more than 24 hours- Light yellow/ almost white in color- no solids- yogurt odor (I'm not sure why but it's got a STRONG yogurt odor!) No fever, I'm not sure about the chills (it's icy here anyway and she's every bundled up- plus she can't talk), and she seems to want to eat regular foods but her diarrhea seems to receive worse. She's pretty active still but gets occasional cramps We've restricted her diet to rice soup and formula She has been refusing to drink (until about an hour ago when I gave her some watered down grape juice) She seems to be sleepy but that seems to be the only side effect. Went to the doctor and the idiot tried to tell us that they couldn't take the stool sample from a diaper...we went directly to the lab and they said no problem, but the doctor only tested for blood, white cells, parasites and color! I need to know if I should suck it up and take her to a western doctor or not...it's about $700 USD to even be seen (no tests included) and since I've been working in China for 8 years it's just about half a month's salary. Any suggestions...oh and I'm battling my Chinese mom-in-law to try to receive her to use the BRAT diet, but she won't let me.

Open Question: what type of lawyer would I need if I want to sue the local police officer/department for causing me a serious?

Its a long story, but getting straight to the point...during the course of an arrest, the cops put me in handcuffs applied way too tight. I begged them to loosen them, but they kept saying "We will loosen them after we receive you in the car". They finally loosened them a bit in the car, but still not enough to improve my circulation. They kept them on tight for the next hour or so, saying to me that they weren't that tight because they could fit one finger in. However, I had completely lost every sensation in both hands. I repeatedly begged, and they still refused. Even after I was sitting in the processing area of the holding cells, they were still on too tight. But my biggest issue is...once I was handcuffed and complying, the officer that was walking me out of my apartment, guided me out-with one hand on the cuffs- towards the flight of stairs leading out of my apartment. While at the top of the steps, I was still talking shit. Not fighting or struggling with him physically...just running my mouth. As he was leading me to walk down the first step, I called him an asshole. I then felt him push me forward, then let go of the cuffs. I ended up falling down 13 steps, face first, with my hands cuffed behind my back. I landed at the bottom of the stairs, while the officers still stood at the top watching me. They made no effort to try to catch me. My buddy that lives next door saw the whole thing through my screen door outside, as well did my wife, from inside the apartment. Then to top it off, they lifted me off the ground by the cuffs that were already cutting off the circulation to both hands. I admit that at first, I slightly resisted them, because I had no idea why the were in my home to start with, let alone, asking me to put my hands behind my back. I was talking smack, yelling and calling them names, but when threatened with a tazer...I then completely physically complied, and allowed them to cuff me without struggle. But I did continue to run my mouth. However, this is no excuse for them to use excessive force, and put my life in danger. Im not a criminal. Ive only been in trouble with the law once in my life when I was 18, (in 1996 for stealing a pack of cigarettes). But they treated me as if I had just killed someone! The only reason they were there in the first place, is because my wife and I had a shouting match that night, and she called them in effort to calm me down. So instead of trying to diffuse the situation, they came in like a bunch of bully's and roughed me up to the point of endangering my life. And at this point, its quite possible, that I may have a serious permanent injury. every because I had an argument with my wife, and then having an attitude with them. It has been 3 days now, and I cannot feel the backs of my hands, or wrists. They are still completely numb. My neck, mid and low back are radiating pain throughout my body. It hurts so bad, that its nearly nauseating. I have been to the emergency room twice. And unfortunately I dont have any health insurance. The ER doctors told me to contact my family doctor to receive an MRI, and a nerve study...because they suspect radial nerve damage. But I obviously cant afford this type of medical attention without insurance. What should I do? I have tried calling, and leaving voice mails with the internal affairs department, with no response. I have also contacted this officers supervisor, and Im still waiting to hear the status of his investigation. I have 2 witnesses that saw the officer push me down the steps, and they have both contacted the internal affairs department with no response. I dont know what to do? Im hurt, and need medical attention, and have no way in doing so. Im thinking about going to a lawyer, but I dont even know what type of lawyer deals with this type of situation? Any suggestions? This is a very serious situation, if anyone can offer any advice, I would really appreciate it. Thanks for listening. I am not a criminal! (and to top it off this every happened the night of my birthday)

Open Question: For bible people only.?

Who committed the GREATER sin?? Adam or Eve ? I think it was Eve so God made it harder for women in life but that's not the case anymore. In fact, it wasn't for a long time. I think men have it harder. Women have easier lives when compared to men (lets leave those less developed countries or fanatical countries out here). They don't have to work, it's optional but most men can't stay at home without being ridiculed. They have to still slug it out every their lives in order to make a living while women have risen over them in the process. I know they have periods and pregnancy but they also have medicine for that and state of the art facilities which people take for granted. Housework is a hell of a lot easier thanks to technology. Men were behind every this so they actually helped women here. A lot of God given punishments for women have been minimized but hardly that's the case for men. In my personal opinion, I know that the law also favors women in a lot of circumstances. Who do you think committed the greater sin? And how-arrive God's law has been overturned here and is there any possible repercussions for this?

Open Question: how to get mother in law to send photos?

for about 4 years now I have been trying to receive my mom in law to give me copies of pictures of my husband in his early years in the military. every time i ask her she "conveniently" forgets. i have asked her to copy them herself if she doesn't trust me with them, as well as to just send them to me and i can copy them if she doesn't have time to do it. i have even offered to pay her for them. my husband was recently medically discharged from the military and is missing the lifestyle pretty bad. more than ever i want to make him a scrapbook of his military career so that he can look back on it whenever he feels like it. i have plenty of photos from the years i have known him but have to rely on his mom for the early years (which is half of his career!). i have explained this to her as well as why i want the photographs. i asked her for them a few months ago and she said "whats the point he isn't in anymore". i have a crop coming up in april and want to have everything to make the scrapbook at that time so i really need them and soon. i asked for them again two weeks ago and she still has not decided to give them to me. I thought it would help to have my husband explain to her that he does not want his time in the service to be forgotten but that did nothing to persuade her. how can i make her understand that this is important to me, and more importantly, to her son?

Open Question: Molar Volume Lab Help?

0.045 g of Mg is reacted to 600 mL of 1M HCl; temperature is 20 C. The reaction is allowed to go to completion: Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g) 1) Calculate the mole ratio of Magnesium to Hydrogen, and amount of moles of hydrogen gas produced, assuming 100% yield. I would assume it is 1:1, which makes the moles of hydrogen gas 0.00185 (Calculated from 0.045 g Mg / 24.3 g/mol). 2) Use Dalton's Law to calculate the partial pressure of the hydrogen gas produced. The vapor pressure of water at 20 C is 2.34 kPa. P H2 = P total - 2.34 kPa, but I don't know how to calculate P total. 3) Calculate the volume that the hydrogen gas would occupy at STP. I think you use 22.4 mol/L to find the answer, but I'm not sure how. 4) From the answers to 1 and 3, find the volume that one mole of dry hydrogen would occupy at STP. Any help is appreciated. The atmospheric pressure is 98.7 kPa

Open Question: What's with the spelling nazis?

Why do some people feel the need to 'correct' how names are spelled? I know we are every taught spelling in school, but language is not made up like laws. Merely conventions and societal suggestions. If someone breaks from convention it does not make them wrong. That's my opinion, what is yours? Do you think that there are correct ways to spell names and other ways are invalid or do you think that each spelling is a name on its on standing or do you think otherwise? BTW best answer goes to well thought out and thorough response, not necessarily to one who agrees with my opinion. how long do you think it will be before this question is reported/deleted?

Open Question: Should I email this guy?

There is this man who is a partner of a huge law firm (500+ lawyers) which I would die to even receive a volunteer position at (seeing as though I am a undergrad student). I coached his son soccer last year, in our local community soccer club for the whole season. i did not especially bond with his son, and his attendance was often not the best, but I always had him playing in game etc.I have never met his dad, but do have his email. Should I send him an email in an attempt to receive a volunteer position using this connection? Thanks guys.

Open Question: What will the outcome be?

Today at a cafe, my two brothers and a couple of their friends were hanging out. My youngest brother who is 16 saw a girl that he wanted to talk so he approach her, after talking to the girl for a bit, a guy who is the girl's brother came and tell him to receive away since she's underage. My brother tried to tell him that he was below 18 but the guy didn't believe him and tell him to receive away. So my brother went to oldest brother who is 19 and todl him what happened. My oldest brother wasn't glad about this and told my younger brother to not be afraid and try again. So he did, the same guy came and tell him to back off now. My oldest brother came and told him to back off since the girl wasn't complaining and younger brother is below 18 so none of them are doing anything wrong. The guy doesn't believe them and they end up got in a argue. After arguing for a bit, they got in a battle, so two of guy's pal and four of my brothers' friends got in a battle. The battle was over quickly with every of my brothers' friends getting hurt pretty bad, but my oldest brother pulled a knife out because he was stuck against the wall and getting hit repeatedly by the girl's brother. So the guy grabbed my brother's arm and somehow broke it then bring him to the ground and I'm not sure what happened, but from what my younger brother says, the guy literally cranked and wrapped my brother's arm around his leg a couple time. He torn everything in my oldest brother's elbow and dislocated his shoulder. To my shock, every of my brothers' friends and my brothers got arrested but none of guy and his friends got arrested. My brothers' friends were eventually let go, but my older brother is pretty much below arrest. My parents are talking about taking this to law suit. I don't know what will happen. I am just so mad and upset about this. What will happen to my brothers? What will happen to the guy who injuried his arm? My brother dropped the knife before he got down to the ground and the guy keep on cranking his arm. Isnt that a bit too much?

Open Question: Why are libs obsessed with someone who doesn't hold office, who has no power over them?

Sarah Palin seems to occupy the minds of liberals, yet she has no control over any law-making in our country.
