There are several large insurance companies in my town. I have a bachelors degree in management with an HR focus. I took several general business courses and took an insurance course. I also have basic knowledge of insurance through my HR courses and my 3 months at my current HR job. I want to become an underwriter and was wondering if someone with a business degree could get into the field? A friend who works at a large insurance firm says yes it's very possible. Any comments?

Illegal (invalid) traffic stop for speeding?
Is a radar reading admissable evidence if the radar unit was not recently calibrated, maintenance and calibration records are not available, and the radar gun itself cannot be located (disposed of, or in storage, whereabouts unknown)? Is there a legal precedent, preferably from MN court? If the radar evidence is thrown out, can the stop be based solely on the officer's visual estimation (at night, coming from opposite directions, and the officer was in his third month of active duty)? Any legal precedent here?

My husband and I both eat vegan. Is it rude to request a vegan meal on the rsvp card, or is it better to wait until the day of the wedding and ask the staf to make modifications if needed???

An invoice from Ebay came to me. I'm not sure what I'm suppose to do because im new to ebay. It says that my balance is $-5.77. And it says that (No payment due). Does that really mean that no payment is due, And what does it mean if i'm in negative balance? Does that mean that that is the amount that I have to pay, OR does that mean that that's the credit that I have on Ebay?

Cause last month I got an invoice and it said that my balance is $6.50, and it said that $6.50 was due. I paid that money...

So my question is what does negative balance in ebay mean?

please answer thanks

So, I definitely have been getting emails from an "atheist" about how I'm retarded because I capitalize "atheist"...

So what's the big deal? I capitalize Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, etc....although Atheists are defined by a lack of faith in a God why shouldn't it be capitalized too?

This is probably a dumb question, but I'm wondering if I can upgrade my NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 with a 8600 GTS series.

Now, I have a PCI Express x16 slot. What I'm thinking is the NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 is intergrated because I can't find a graphics card for it. Would I just uninstall the graphics drivers I have now and insert an 8600 GTS in the PCI-Express slot and be alright?

Other notes: AMD Anthlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ 1.87GB Ram.

If you could also let me know if I'm able to use an 8600 GTS card with that, that would also be helpful. Thanks!

Anyone republican or democrat would not be elected into power if they kept the Iraq war going with the draft.

Therefore they are using the same troops over and over again, compare this with the Sin of David, where he kept Uriah in battle until he died so that David could obtain the prize of Uriah's wife (2nd book of Samual, chapter 11):

14 ¶ And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Jo'ab, and sent it by the hand of Uri'ah.

15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uri'ah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.

Its not a perfect analogy, but is there something parallel going on here?

Does it mean that you have fallen away from God in a blaze of utter disregard and out of being rebellious or does it mean to make a mistake which in turn leads from one falling out of God's good graces? Or does it mean something else altogether?

I can understand using the electoral college to elect before 2000's when not everyone had some sort of access to internet and voting machines were not wide spread, but now it's possible. Why doesn't the U.S. have direct presidential elections?

...that the ritual of baptism -- which proceeds with a priest/pastor pouring water over a baby (or adults) head -- is almost literally a "brain washing?"

or am i mis-using the word "ironic"?

I am doing a research project on the differences between Eastern and Western philosophy and am having trouble finding good websites and sources that are informational and easy to understand. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be a big help. I have tried googling it but I really need someone to answer who knows some reliable sites and who has researched the topic before to answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
