My map gives 67 "Sutton" places and 59 "Stoke" in Britain, but only one of each in the US. My Europe map lists 37 places called "Santa Maria" plus 10 "Sainte-Marie", and two "St. Mary" but it's a small map, there may be more. Is any name commoner in the US than Avon --- I can find 21 Avons, including the Avondales and Avonvales.

I don't mean prefixes like New, Santa, and Stary of course, I mean the substantial core of the name. For example, on this criterion I count Stoke St. Mary in Somerset as a Stoke, but not as a St. Mary.

Its a tall lava lamp but it doesnt light up very well as opposed to smaller versions which look fantastic. You cant even see it in the dark, it looks nothing like the picture in the catalogue. Can I take it back and swap it for something else? Thanx

Say I am going to murder someone in five years. If God does know everything, including our future, then does that mean he knows that I will murder someone before I even think of doing it? If he does, then that means he forced me to kill, and I have no free will. If he doesn't then does that mean he doesn't know everything and I have free will?

Serious answers please.

My sister's ex boy riend is harassing her and her husband by calling and email her againa nd again even though has been asked not to. This is causing tension in their relationship. I want to help my sister and the sweet brother-in-law keep this pervert away! But the problem is he is from Midle East (Guess why he is a P***) and not a US citizen who was in US for a few years till a couple of years back. If he was in US I know my sister could have gone to any Police Office and asked for a Restraining Order. But I am not aware of the process for an International Restraining Order. I know they are out there, but are rare as not many people have bad international relationships like my unfortunate sister did. Please help with any input, links or contacts! - God bless.
