What is the difference between Frontline and the grocery store brands? Do the major brands such as Frontline or Advantage really work better than the cheaper brands I could buy in the grocery store? I would like to keep my dog protected from fleas and ticks, but do I really need to buy the more expensive brands to keep him protected?

Well, I'm moving from Taiwan to America in the beginning of summer(I'm not sure where, most likely California, though we might also go to New York or New Jersey) and it's been awhile since I've been there. I live in Boston until I was 7,then we moved to Montreal, Canada until 4th grade and THEN we moved to Taiwan until now, 8th grade(I'm 14!!!yay!) I'm going to an international school, and high school seems kinda....weird. I mean, it's mostly rich preppy people and there aren't alot of emos or goths or funny people, just preppy people. the high scoolers' s eyeliners seriously freak me out(their like 3 inches thick) and all of them are wearing Abercrombie(which is kinda weird since THERE AREN"T ANY ABERCROMBIE STORES IN TAIWAN???)

So i'm wondering what the high schools in America are like.
Some survival tips should b helpful!! For example, what clothes stores are good(nice, but not TOO expensive), and if being crazy about pet fish and predatory animals is really THAT weird:)

My mum loves my brother. There are three girls then him. My mum openly says that if she had a son sooner she would have stopped having children. I feel hurt by this...should I be? She normalises thi sby saying in a patronising tone...when you have children you will know what I mean. Everyone wants a boy and a girl..its natural. She openly has said that my brother will get her three houses. We the girls helped my mum when she had three mortagages. I don't pay her now...because I feel I gave her too much money. I gave her like £1700-2000 every month for two years. When I was a student I gave her all my money. I say to her that I will feel really upset if me and my sisters are still struggling to pay mortagages and my brother is living in luxery with his wife ...on the benefit of inheriting three homes which at today prices are worth in excess of 500K. Should I feel like this? My mum cited the example of the queen.....saying that she does not distribute her wealth equally to her children

The U.S. Rev. Al Sharpton is a descendant of a slave owned by relatives of the late U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond -- a discovery the civil rights activist called "shocking" on Sunday.

Sharpton learned of his connection to Thurmond, once a prominent defender of segregation, last week through the Daily News, which asked genealogists to trace his roots.

"It was probably the most shocking thing in my life," Sharpton said at a news conference Sunday, the same day the tabloid revealed the story.

Some of Thurmond's relatives said the nexus also came as a surprise to them. Doris Strom Costner, a distant cousin who said she knew the late senator all her life, said Sunday she "never heard of such a thing."

"My momma never would talk to me about nothing like that," Costner said of ancestors who owned slaves. "She only talked to me about good things."

The revelations surfaced after Ancestry.com contacted a Daily News reporter who agreed to have his own family tree done. The intrigued reporter then turned around and asked Sharpton if he wanted to participate. Sharpton said he told the paper, "Go for it."

The genealogists, who were not paid by the newspaper, uncovered the ancestral ties using a variety of documents that included census, marriage and death records.

They found that Sharpton's great-grandfather, Coleman Sharpton, was a slave owned by Julia Thurmond, whose grandfather was Strom Thurmond's great-great-grandfather. Coleman Sharpton was later freed.

Thurmond, of South Carolina, was once considered an icon of racial segregation. During his 1948 bid for president, he promised to preserve segregation and, in 1957, he filibustered for more than 24 hours against a civil rights bill.

Sharpton, who ran for president in 2004 on a ticket of racial justice, said he met Thurmond only once in 1991 when he visited Washington, D.C., with the late soul singer James Brown, who knew Thurmond. Sharpton said the meeting was "awkward."

Who thinks that swear boxes are a good idea and what are the rules behind it? Is there anything legal that you should be aware of when setting one up in the workplace?
