As he was ripping plaster from bathroom-wall studs, Kitts found bundles of bills totaling $182,000 wrapped in pre-World War II Plain Dealer news pages and tucked into boxes. The money is in such good condition, and some of the bills are so rare and collectible, that one currency appraiser valued the treasure at up to $500,000, Kitts said.

But there's a hitch:

The walls from which Kitts pulled the money aren't his walls. The house isn't his house. Nobody knows for certain whose money it is.

When Bob Kitts and Amanda Reece first tallied the 70-year-old currency that Kitts found hidden in Reece's bathroom walls, they were gleeful. Now, they're feuding.

I think everyone will agree that if Jesus had existed, December 25th was not his birthday. And if you are going to give someone a present on their birthday, shouldn't it be the "birthday boy"? Say it's my birthday, and my wife gives the pool boy a new set of Pings. Doesn't make sense, unless she was fooling around. So, if you give someone else a Christmas present, instead of giving one to Jesus, are you fooling around? Only Wal-Mart could have devised such an evil plot. What do you think?

Let's say that , hypothetically speaking, someone was on the Delayed entry program for the military, but did not quite come clean about some things in the past. If that person told the truth after already having a contract and being on DEP, and it made him inelligible of joining, would that count as fraudulent enlistment with all of those consequences, or would it not be fraudulent enlistment untill after one already did recruit training, and all of that?

I have just passed my year and a day oath, but before I start my dedication I have a couple things that are still unclear (solitary practitioner by circumstance, not choice).

I have been casting a full ritual circle every sabat and esbat, and all the times in-between. What I want to know is if the full circle cast and quarter call is always needed. I have never done a ritual without these steps and, to date, have never had a problem with negative spirits or energy during, or as a result of, my work. But as a fulltime employee and full time artist, I have little time to go all out these days. I have read that some Wicca do not use a full circle when out doors because of the abundance of nature energy to protect you. Is this true for you as well? Why or why not?
Is it wise to attempt to simply keep negative energy out of the room in which I work by using spells, wind chimes(feng shui), and amulets? Are there other ways of keeping the energy clean?
Blessed be!

it's a £5 gift voucher i know some people will say it's better than nothing and that they didn't have to give us anything but don't you think this is a bigger insult after all the hard work that everybody does all year long and you're employer rewards you with a measerly tax free gift like this

My husband's grandmother gave out quite a bit of money this year for Christmas. My husband's check ended up being for $12,000. His mom has the check in her possession, and will not give it to my husband. The check is made out from my husband's grandmother to him. His mother took him to the bank and tried to get him to sign the check over to her. She told him that she was going to put all $12,000 in a savings account in her name so he couldn't have access, and said that he couldn't have any of it. My husband refused to sign the check obviously, but she still has it. My husband and I are both deploying to Iraq in 2 days. She is mad that he didn't finish college this semester, and that's her reasoning to try to take the money. Some of the money could be used right now so we don't have to worry about paying bills online while deployed. She is a lawyer and a judge, but my husband and I are curious. Is it legal for her to hold a personal check from my husband's grandmother to him?

Mine was probably Danzig. I remember being blown away by the sheer power of his voice and the simplicity of the riff in Mother. I was hooked, to me the shock factor of hearing the lyrics (I was raised [brainwashed] Christian) was astounding, yet intriguing. After that a friend hooked me up with some Metallica, and an obsession was born!

What's your story?

Hey,
I've been having problems with networking since I got this vista laptop. Basically, this is the problem:


I can't switch between wired and wireless networks without rebooting.

Whichever one I start up with is the one I'm stuck with for that entire boot period.

When I try switching networks (either from wireless to wired, if I started with wireless, or from wired to wireless, if I started with wired), it says connected but local only, and I can't get internet connectivity at all.

This problem has been driving me crazy since I got the laptop in august. It's irritating in many ways, and should not be happening.
Any ideas, people?

I have a 2005 GMC Sierra. My ABS light has been on for several days. I took it to the dealer and they said it will be $150 just to diagnose the problem, thats just to figure out the problem thats not to fix it. On top of that I will need to pay to fix it (weather its big or small). Still, I dont want to pay this much. I have checked the brake fluid level of the master cylinder, and thats ok. Next I am going to check the four sensors. I was wondering other than checking the sensors what else can I look for? Is there some sort of diagnostic tool I can buy to help figure this out and do it myself? What else can I check.??? By the way my brakes feel fine, I just want the light off! Thanks
