I am of the view that any changes made to improve the health of our children (and therefore our future nation) are positive and should be embarked upon at any cost.
I reacted with total shock when I read a news article today about 2 mothers at a british school who are taking orders over the school fence for burgers and fish and chips, and then delivering them to kids in school. Apparently this is a protest at the new healthier menu.
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18092006/344/burger-mothers-halt-school-service.html
I have given my 4 children packed lunches for years to try and encourage healthier eating, prior to the school dinner improvements.
I hadn't ever considered that some parents would hold another view.
I think they're bonkers, and infringing upon the rights of other parents to feed their children healthily. Their only right is to choose the diet of their own children.
What do you think?
I'd like to find out and then email the results to the school suffering the protest.

I just want to make candid portrait photos of my kids. I want to do Selective Focusing on the subject (the kids) while making the background out-of-focus/blurred. I will usually be taking indoor shots (children playing in bed for example) with indirect lighting coming from window. I want to blur the messy room in the background (hahaha!)

I am having difficulty doing this using the Canon A80 due to small aperture and low zoom capability of the A80. I know the Canon 350D Digital Rebel is better for this but someone is selling me his S3 IS really cheap.

I know I can do this effect too in photoshop but I find it time-consuming, so I would rather let the camera do it.

Thanks.

I own a business in which I do wedding planning. The persons wedding took place out of their state. We disagree about some of the cost I should have to pay. If they take me to small claims court will I have to go to MS (Where they live) or will they have to come to my court?

Thanks.

I have a rather long table of text in MS Word (It's too hard to copy it into excel due to formatting of the text). One column specifies whether the entry is applicable or not. The person who filled it out left all of the N/As blank. How can I do find & replace for empty table cells (in 1 column) and place 'N/A' if a cell is empty? I'm assuming I'll need a macro. I've done simple macros in excel before, but not in word. I'm running office 2003. Help? Thanks

I often use the ten-key pad on a conventional keyboard. That does not exist on a typical laptop keyboard.

Screw what you are doing now! I mean, if you could have the ultimate do-over, what would you REALLY do??

I'm thinking one of the following:
Secret agent
Race car driver/designer
Assassin-for-hire
Eco-terrorist
Rocket scientist (I actually have the degrees)
Something in the porn industry

They believe that he is using me because he knows that it would be difficult for us to see each other all the time. I really enjoy talking to him and when he visits me. My friends believe that he is taken advantage and use me as a short fling since he is freshly divorced. He calls me almost every other evening. I am starting to believe what my friends are saying. What should I do? He lives around 200 miles from me

Malkin certainly has more hype. Zetterberg has proven he can do it in the NHL. Age is close enough that it's a non factor for me.
