I moved into a new community in Katy, Texas 10 months ago. Upon making our decision to buy this lot, we asked our home builder if there were any plans of construction going on with the land behind it. They said "nothing that we are aware of" They just said it is commercial property and nothing else. 4 months into living here, a contractor started breaking ground for what is now becoming a 2 story concrete warehouse that is 15 feet from our back fence. It is almost as tall as the power lines that run across the back of the community and it blocks about 75% of my view from my patio. The loading dock is right behind our house. My view of our gorgeous Texas sunsets is now gone. Do I have any rights? Are there any rules or laws of disclosure that I should have been informed of? I feel extremely cheated. I chose this lot as we didn't want a 2 story homeowner overhanging our back yard. Now we have a commercial one....Any advise would be great.

Auxiliary power supply: a) Explain the different options for auxiliary power supply of a
normal gas turbine power station sketching the corresponding single line diagrams. b) Which
conditions determine in the design phase (on the supply side), which option is chosen?
c) When and how is the auxiliary power supply switched over to another source? Three
typical examples are enough.

Then go on to say well what about Islam, or Buddhism, etc. How can they deny the existence of God and fight Him with questions of another deity?

I hate making small talk with the woman cutting my hair. I sit there and dont say anything. I figure if she dosent want to intiate the conversation then i wont speak. I have nothing to say anyway. Do you think that this is ignorant? I just like to get my hair cut and leave and not make small talk. Do you think shes thinking badly of me if i dont talk a lot?

I've had shin splints off and on in the past but haven't suffered from them in quite a while....I have great shoes, inserts, and do lots of stretching. However, I increased my mileage significantly last week because I'm running a half Marathon next week and wanted to get in as many miles as I could before my taper week. Because of this, my shin splints have returned (I only get them in my left leg) and it is very mild. I need to run 10-11 miles tomorrow to stick with my training schedule. It will be my last long run. Should I skip it? Or should I run it and then take it easy for the next couple of days? I was able to run 10.5 miles last Saturday with no problems.

So many of us do not like how our country has been and continues to ber run by the government. We complain, but no outward action is taken by us as a group of concerned Americans. Express your ideas, concerns, government opinions.

I've been a vegetarian for more than a year and I just realized (dumb, I know) that my ballet slippers (their not pointe shoes) are made with leather. Can I still be considered a vegetarian if I keep wearing them? I'm quite serious about being a ballerina and a vegetarian. So there's my dilema. Thanks.
