went under my car and damage the transmission pan and toyota said it would cost $250 to replace the pan. Does anyone know if you can file a claim with the city to pay for the repairs. This really did SUCK.

I am 24 years old married have 3 kids. I want to start hunting with my cousin, my wife is opposed to guns and said she would divorce me because she doesnt want the kids to get a hlod of them and get hurt. I told her i would get a combination safe and leave the bullets out of the guns while they were at home. Ive already given up my playstation because she didnt like that i played it every now and again. Is this a way for her to try and control me or something i dont know. My kids will be knowlegeable of what the guns can do, so how else can i convince her to let me get them i am all out of ideas.

This should satisfy Mr. Jello, at least. A combination of climatology and meteorology has made specific predictions as to the average global temperature in the near future:

"Global warming is forecast to set in with a vengeance after 2009, with at least half of the five following years expected to be hotter than 1998, the warmest year on record, scientists reported on Thursday.

Climate experts have long predicted a general warming trend over the 21st century spurred by the greenhouse effect, but this new study gets more specific about what is likely to happen in the decade that started in 2005.

To make this kind of prediction, researchers at Britain's Met Office -- which deals with meteorology -- made a computer model that takes into account such natural phenomena as the El Nino pattern in the Pacific Ocean and other fluctuations in ocean circulation and heat content."

Will this satisfy global warming deniers?

*****
Speak Up!

Small voices trembling,
Bringing forward offerings of verse,
Laid before the minion, a clipped council,
Cloaked, with their terse bursts of malcontent,

Then a maiden fair,
With shining jewel of prose profound,
At the sepulcher of mediocrity,
Shows a light quite rare and beautiful,

Crackling cheeks fight back smiles,
Gathering stars and thumbs, dusty, unspent,
As she speaks her rhyming crescendo,
Cold hearts deny their joy no more, in tears.

I grew up on music like Hip Hop, Grunge, Rock, etc. Mostly ninties stuff and some eghties stuff. I consider my self a tolerant person when it comes to music and appriciate all varieties, but I can't help but notice that all of the new music coming out is a load of crap. All the idiot rappers rapping about all thier bitches and money. All the idiot wanna be punk bands that play up anti-socialism and anti-government just to sell records. All the stupid country artists singing about the stupidest **** around. I find my self listening to oldies that were before my time from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. When is something worth while going to come out?

For the last few years, I have been feeling really, really bad. I get exhausted for no real reason. I have weird aches and pains. I get sick to my stomach. It doesn't matter how much I sleep, or how well I sleep. Losing weight, eating right, exercising, drinking lots of water, etc has done nothing to help. It's not my blood sugar, I'm not anemic. It happens thoughout the year, so it's not seasonal allergies, although heat doesn't help. Sometimes it will go away for a few months, then start back up again. I can't concentrate on anything. I get dizzy. I have times when I have to stop what I'm doing and lay down on the floor of my house. I have a hard time driving. Stress makes it worse, but I have symptoms whether I'm stressed or not. What some possible causes?

Miranda and Joe really had eyes for each other. They didn't see each other that often, but on those occasions, real chemistry was there.

Joe was Miranda's lawyer. Miranda had some difficult legal issues to handle, and Joe had been of real help to her many times.

One time when Miranda was in Joe's office he made a feeble attempt to let Miranda know he was more interested in her as a good friend than as his long time client. He reached for her hand, across his desk.

Miranda was breathless......'does he truly like me in that way?" was her thinking. Miranda left her hand in Joe's for a minute. Then Joe withdrew his hand.......and remembered the many obstacles in his path which would hinder such a warm relationship with Miranda.

Miranda, unaware of Joe's turmoil, had a turmoil in her own heart.....thinking of the impossibilities of her even wishing for a relationship with Joe. Yes, she liked him a lot, but..............

America is a place where we value the first amendment, should we not be allowed to state our views here on Y/A without someone name calling and getting nasty..even the Y/A moderator. It's great when I hear people say that they are black and proud to be black...I should also be proud to be white..if a black person say's: Our people were treated horrible at the hands of white slave owners...I also have a view that says..TRUE...BUT they were treated far worse in africa where 99% of them were ALREADY slaves by black owners and it's my view their lives improved 100% by coming to America...and certainly their great, great, great grand children are 1000% better of than those left there. IS that RACIST???
WE need to have (As Martin Luther King said) a REAL talk about Race-Relations...it can't be ONE-SIDED! There is a federal law suit in my city to change the way a tax-payer sponsored slave museum is presenting slave history & the owners of slaves...MOST treated them very well!

Can we talk?

"ELEGY WRITTEN IN
A COUNTRY CHURCH-YARD"

The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea,
The ploughman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me.

Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight,
And all the air a solemn stillness holds,
Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight,
And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds:

Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tower
The moping owl does to the moon complain
Of such as, wandering near her secret bower,
Molest her ancient solitary reign.

Beneath those rugged elms, that yew-tree's shade,
Where heaves the turf in many a mouldering heap,
Each in his narrow cell for ever laid,
The rude Forefathers of the hamlet sleep.

The breezy call of incense-breathing morn,
The swallow twittering from the straw-built shed,
The ****'s shrill clarion, or the echoing horn,
No more shall rouse them from their lowly bed.

For them no more the blazing hearth shall burn,
Or busy housewife ply her evening care:
No children run to lisp their sire's return,
Or climb his knees the envied kiss to share,

Oft did the harvest to their sickle yield,
Their furrow oft the stubborn glebe has broke;
How jocund did they drive their team afield!
How bow'd the woods beneath their sturdy stroke!

Let not Ambition mock their useful toil,
Their homely joys, and destiny obscure;
Nor Grandeur hear with a disdainful smile
The short and simple annals of the Poor.

The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power,
And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave,
Awaits alike th' inevitable hour:-
The paths of glory lead but to the grave.

Nor you, ye Proud, impute to these the fault
If Memory o'er their tomb no trophies raise,
Where through the long-drawn aisle and fretted vault
The pealing anthem swells the note of praise.

Can storied urn or animated bust
Back to its mansion call the fleeting breath?
Can Honour's voice provoke the silent dust,
Or Flattery soothe the dull cold ear of Death?

Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid
Some heart once pregnant with celestial fire;
Hands, that the rod of empire might have sway'd,
Or waked to ecstasy the living lyre:

But Knowledge to their eyes her ample page,
Rich with the spoils of time, did ne'er unroll;
Chill Penury repress'd their noble rage,
And froze the genial current of the soul.

Full many a gem of purest ray serene
The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear:
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.

Some village-Hampden, that with dauntless breast
The little tyrant of his fields withstood,
Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest,
Some Cromwell, guiltless of his country's blood.

Th' applause of list'ning senates to command,
The threats of pain and ruin to despise,
To scatter plenty o'er a smiling land,
And read their history in a nation's eyes,

Their lot forbad: nor circumscribed alone
Their growing virtues, but their crimes confined;
Forbad to wade through slaughter to a throne,
And shut the gates of mercy on mankind,

The struggling pangs of conscious truth to hide,
To quench the blushes of ingenuous shame,
Or heap the shrine of Luxury and Pride
With incense kindled at the Muse's flame.

Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife,
Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray;
Along the cool sequester'd vale of life
They kept the noiseless tenour of their way.

Yet e'en these bones from insult to protect
Some frail memorial still erected nigh,
With uncouth rhymes and shapeless sculpture deck'd,
Implores the passing tribute of a sigh.

Their name, their years, spelt by th' unletter'd Muse,
The place of fame and elegy supply:
And many a holy text around she strews,
That teach the rustic moralist to die.

For who, to dumb forgetfulness a prey,
This pleasing anxious being e'er resign'd,
Left the warm precincts of the cheerful day,
Nor cast one longing lingering look behind?

On some fond breast the parting soul relies,
Some pious drops the closing eye requires;
E'en from the tomb the voice of Nature cries,
E'en in our ashes live their wonted fires.

For thee, who, mindful of th' unhonour'd dead,
Dost in these lines their artless tale relate;
If chance, by lonely contemplation led,
Some kindred spirit shall inquire thy fate, --

Haply some hoary-headed swain may say,
Oft have we seen him at the peep of dawn
Brushing with hasty steps the dews away,
To meet the sun upon the upland lawn;

'There at the foot of yonder nodding beech
That wreathes its old fantastic roots so high.
His listless length at noontide would he stretch,
And pore upon the brook that babbles by.

'Hard by yon wood, now smiling as in scorn,
Muttering his wayward fancies he would rove;
Now drooping, woeful wan, like one forlorn,
Or crazed with care, or cross'd in hopeless love.

'One morn I miss'd him on the custom'd hill,
Along the heath, and near his favourite tree;
Another came; nor yet beside the rill,
Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he;

'The next with dirges due in sad array
Slow through the church-way path we saw him borne,-
Approach and read (for thou canst read) the lay
Graved on the stone beneath yon aged thorn.'

The Epitaph

Here rests his head upon the lap of Earth
A youth to Fortune and to Fame unknown.
Fair Science frowned not on his humble birth,
And Melacholy marked him for her own.

Large was his bounty, and his soul sincere,
Heaven did a recompense as largely send:
He gave to Misery all he had, a tear,
He gained from Heaven ('twas all he wish'd) a friend.

No farther seek his merits to disclose,
Or draw his frailties from their dread abode
(There they alike in trembling hope repose),
The bosom of his Father and his God.

By Thomas Gray (1716-71).
