I am sick of the daily guilt trips my family puts me through. They always use the excuse of money this, money that, and how I never do anything right and that I will never amount to anything. I am trying to improve my life here, and all they do is hold me back! I am 18, and desperate to move out, as quickly as possible. As far as money goes, I do have a job but it is not as high paying as I need. Where do I get some money to pay for tuition and books, a cheap mode of transportation, and some shared room in a house? I figure I will need maybe 10 grand total. I wouldn't even mind a loan from a bank... so if you know which one would give me the best loan, please tell me! Share your experience as well if you went through this, it will be interesting to read and a good insight. Thanks for answering!

Let me give you an example of what I mean.

I've been watching the Women's World Cup on TV and I hear many of the foreign commentators saying things like, "England are a good team." or "The USA aren't such a bad team."

This is grammatically incorrect, because, since only *one* entity (i.e. one team) is the subject of the sentence, the third-person singular (not plural) should be used: "The USA is a good team".

I hear my folks from Dublin using it the wrong way all the time, and it drives me nuts.

DENVER (KWGN) — U.S. District in Denver heard arguments from a federal government attorney today, who asked the court to throw out a State of Colorado lawsuit against the federal government. The State of Colorado is suing the federal government for not meeting its constitution obligation to protect states from invasion.The lawsuit was approved by Colorado voters who passed Referendum K last November. Referendum K gave the state permission to sue the federal government to enforce immigration law. It passed with 56% voter approval. Six other states have tried similar lawsuits and six times the lawsuit was thrown out of federal court. But Colorado's District Attorney's office said it is taking a different tack.http://cw2.trb.com/news/kwgn-state-sues-feds,0,6071773.story?coll=kwgn-home-2

In 1995, the Texas Governor's [yes, as in George W. Bush] press secretary, Karen Hughes, issued a statement regarding Bush's support of a legal appeal by Texas Attorney General Dan Morales [Texas v. United States, B-94-228 (S.D. Texas 1995) 95-40721 (5th Cir.) (pdf file)], to recover $1.34 billion spent by his state on the incarceration and education of illegal immigrants. Karen Hughes wasn't speaking without authority. In 1995, when Gov. Bush was suing the United States' Government for $5 billion, he said:"If the federal government cannot do its job of enforcing the borders, then it owes the states monies to pay for its failure."

That's right, when George W. Bush was Governor of the State of Texas, he sued the federal government for reimbursement of the costs of incarcerating illegal aliens, yet there are millions more illegal aliens in the United States now than when Bill Clinton was president.And when campaigning for president in 1999, George W. Bush issued this statement:
[Federal expenditures would be more effective] "...at the front end, to stop people from illegally entering our country, not at the back end, by reimbursing states after it has failed to enforce the border." [I] "would allocate additional resources to enforcing the border, so states such as Texas and California would not have the huge expenses they currently do." (San Francisco Chronicle, Sept. 9, 1999)

Is there a law preventing it, or is it just taboo?

I am putting a rock lawn in by myself when it cools down. I need to know what is the best fabric, brand name and where to get it, to put underneath these rocks so that I won't have grass and weeds coming through. Most of my neighbors who have rock lawns have grass that grew through. Black plastic is not an option, as I live in Vegas and it will melt. Any ideas for other substances that I can put down to keep the grass/weeds from growing through? The last thing I want is to have to take all the rocks out and redo it because the fabric didn't work.
