I live in Central Texas and our local grocery store, H.E.B. and/or Central Market carries a pretty great variety of produce. Being a curious chef, I typically linger over the more unique items in the store. One that has always intrigued me was the little bundle of dried manzanilla--it looks like a small bundle of thin twigs or kindling and smells like fresh cut grass. I cannot find anything on the internet about it except that it is a relative of the chamomile flower. All other searches for manzanilla bring up the Sherry from Spain and the olive varietal, which I was already familiar with. What are these little twigs used for??? I even bought a bundle since it was only $0.49, but I'd like to do something with it instead of looking at it. I was thinking it may be used in some sort of Mexican soup or broth...thoughts?

In regards to abortion and gay rights. If abortion was murder, then why isn't against the law? People say it's murder because of their religious beliefs. Okay, that's fine, but what if I don't believe in your religion, now what? The same thing goes for gay rights.

Hi guys, I got a second offense DWI (Felony) a couple weeks ago. I am currently out on bail. I was wondering if I left state, what would happen? Would I be able to get a driver license in another state? And just be a fugitive of New York? Or what if I left the country? Would they check my records and see I am wanted and arrest me and send me back? Im curious to the out of state thing cause my father did it when he owed thousands in child support and is doing fine out of state. And my cousin did it when he had drug problems, he moved out of state to dodge the law. I think they caught him when he came back to NY though. I dont know but can you really move to another state and not come back to the one you were arrested in? Thanks

Hi, I've just set up a new tank and added bactozym which claims to speed up new tank syndrome. I've just tested the water and the nitrite, nitrate and ammonia levels are all 'ideal', but the pH is 9.0.

How do I lower the pH, how long will that method take, will it affect the other levels, and once it's right can I add a few fish?

I've talked about this in another question i posted but even though i took the advice, he still wont stop!!!! and just today I was in Language Arts and ended up in his group with 2 other people and he tells the teacher that we weren't working and he was the only one when we were all doin the work and he kept complaining that he couldn't do his work!!!!!! And the teacher gave us an F for not working as a group and he said we cant afford to get another F or we would fail the grade because we need to pass Language arts to pass the grade. I'm sooo pissed!!!!!!!!! Help me get through this! there is a huge chance he will do this again and if he does we will all get an F!!!! he is such a JERK!!!!!! please help me! none of the teachers will believe me or the other students!

Well so have I. There aren't very many times I get fired up enough to try and do something about injustice in the world. I guess maybe it just needed to hit home before I felt the motivation.

Sure, being harassed be a debt collector isn't the worst thing that could happen to you, but it's still pretty bad. Being treated like less than a human is never fun, no matter who you are. Even if you really do owe the money they are asking, you still deserve to be treated like more than dirt.

So I made a myspace page called "Collectors Beware." I'm going to keep it updated with tips, stories, links, etc. Even if all it does is bring people together that have had similar experiences, that's good enough for me.

Please add me to your friends if you like to

myspace.com/collectorsbeware

If we all know our rights and decide to take a stand against these practices, maybe we can make things better.

Thanks :)

There's a node, bump, "nipple" looking thing at the base of my orchid(where the leaves sprout). This bump is green like the plant, and looks as if it's growing out of the plants base. I'm just curious, is this the new flowering spike that 's growing? or something else. the old spike has been cut, and the plant has produced a new leaf already. The plant is very healthy, this I already know. It receives enough light from the artificial flourescent grow light and the light from the window.

When i use my laptop for long periods of time i will normally grab my big headphones and insert the pin into the earphone socket or on other occations i will position my portable radio up close on a table surface insert a audio disc listening to my music through the headphones.I normally work on my laptop typing up letters or just browsing on the internet in close range of my notebook with my earphones situated in standard position.Will the close range of the magnets within the headphones cause any malfuntions to arise with the metal material inside the notebook.
