what year will water be scarce, almost rare to come by? like in the movie mad max: beyond thunderdome?

Depends on where you live. Some places will never run out. But there are places where the water table is being drastically reduced. Certain areas of Florida for example.

Mad Max took place in Australia which has always had water problems. Most of the interior is a desert.

What was the big deal about Beyonce getting her skin lightened?
I don’t see the big deal no one would have given a crap if they darkened the skin of Taylor Swift or some other pale singer.

Beyonce did not get her skin lightened.
In her CoverGirl commercial, the big deal is that they DIGITALLY lightened her skin to make her fit into the commercial along with other white women.
They did that because they know that black women dont have blonde hair and they product is NOT for black women.
So they lightened her skin to appeal to the market.
That was the big deal..Not that I see it as a big deal
But that was the issue
StarGirl | Sep 09, 2009

Hmm didnt know that she got her skin lightened :/ but no i dont see the big deal either its up to her what she does really and so many white people go on sun beds and use fake tan to make their skin darker i dont see the big deal at all and if taylor swift did get her skin darkend then i bet yah no one would mention it.

Flight Career path and AFROTC?
I know getting the job you want depends a huge number of things, such as commanders ranking and test scores and etc.

Im intrested in becoming either an a pilot, CSO(navigator) or ABM(radar systems operator) all which are in the "flight" career.

How do i even get a chance to apply for these positions while in AFROTC? also how competative is CSO and ABM…i already know pilots are the mose competative jobs in the air force

Also if i apply for ABM or pilot or CSO but dont make it, will I be able to re-apply while being an officer..again for the positions..assuming im not over the age limit?

---

During Big Week, your name is submitted. Big Week is normally end of January, beginning of February. but you start preparing from the day you enter ROTC. You must take and pass the AFOQT for example.

My advice would be to apply for all three. You can start as an ABM and finish as a pilot by the time you commission.

You can apply for a pilot slot while on active duty provided you are not aged out. Slots depend on the needs of the Air Force.

Mothers, what would you do?
This may be a little long but I want to make sure I get all the details put in. I would really like your honest opinions on this and what you would do as a mother.

I am 9 weeks along with my second pregnancy. I am in the Navy and I work in the pediatrics clinic. I am one of the two military personnel that is certified to administer immunizations to the babies. The other personnel who work there haven’t even attempted to become certified to give immunizations. There are two civilian nurses who usually work in immunizations but when one is gone the other cries for someone to help her (even when they aren’t busy). I normally work one on one with my assigned provider but when they need someone to give shots they always come to me. So normally I just say "Okay" and do it. My husband was concerned about me giving live vaccines to the kids (Flu, MMR, Varicella) and he was concerned with me getting kicked in the stomach. He went to one of my supervisors without me knowing LOL and explained his concern. Basically they blew him off. Anyway, so the other day they asked me to work in immunizations and I told them I had been feeling a little off that day and was extremely tired and was feeling shaky and lightheaded but they told me to go anyway. I made sure that I drank some water and ate a bowl of oatmeal and a piece of toast before hand. The first set of shots I had to do, I had the baby and both the parents in front of me ready to go and I started feeling light headed again. I took a second and took some deep breaths and I still felt dizzy and light headed. So I told the parents I was unable to give the shots and asked the nurse working with me if she could take over. She did and I then I stepped out to the bathroom and all I could do was cry. I don’t know what had come over me. I guess I felt embarrased. So I went to talk to one of the providers I am really close to and he had stated I was having a panic attack then I went back to the bathroom to calm down and noticed I was spotting. The provider then told me to go to the Emergency Room just to make sure everything was okay. I went and the baby was fine. They said I was threatening a miscarriage because I was spotting. So I went back to work and my supervisor asked me how I felt and I said "I still feel out of sorts and light headed when I stand." She told me to work with my provider until I hear otherwise. So I did. About ten minutes later she put me back in immunizations. I felt I shouldn’t work there but it’s hard being in the military and without written instruction they can make you do whatever they want. So I administered some shots to a couple of kids. I was still shaky but not dizzy. Then I had one kid and I accidentally stuck myself with one of the needles after giving him his shot. So then I had to tell the mother that and tell my supervisor and had to go back to the ER to have blood drawn and talk to a doctor. The baby also had to have blood drawn (I felt horrible). The ER doctor asked me why I was giving shots when I had been seen there for dizziness and shakiness and I said "I told my supervisor everything and she told me I had to do it." So….I am just wondering if maybe I should talk to my OB doctor on the 12 of this month to see if she can write something saying when I feel that way I shouldn’t be giving shots. I am just concerned for myself, my baby, and the patients. I figured it would be understood to not put a person who is feeling like that somewhere working with needles and such but apparently not. Also my supervisor is the same rank as me, she has been in the Navy the same amount of time, and she is fully qualified to give shots but never stepped up to do them instead. Maybe I just need to vent but I would really like your input on this. What would you do?

---

I wouldn’t wait to see your doctor. Call her and try to get her to sign a note for you there. If the doc signs the right paperwork you should be put on light duty. I know superiors can be stupid in the Navy, my husband has been in 8 years. Call your doc or go walk in tomorrow.
Logan and Ella's Mommy | Dec 30, 2009

thats bull….i would def see if you could get some sort of written statement stating that you should not do those things!!! it puts everyone at risk!! I would do that myself, i know you have to do as told but life is life and its very important esp for a pregnant woman! i would not leave until i had a written statement stating you cant do that anymore because of your symptoms!
mrslane07 | Dec 30, 2009

If you have had your shots you have no worry in working with the live vaccines, that’s why you were given your immunization.

As for the shakiness, jeez, poor kids! Tell your sup that you can’t poke them without hurting them. I don’t feel sorry for you, I feel sorry for the kids who are going to hurt because your aim wasn’t true.
Ethel | Dec 30, 2009

As a mother, and someone who has been through three miscarriages, I would not ever put myself in a situation where I was "threatenting miscarriage" because of stress. Nor would I work in an environment where I didn’t feel good and safe with my health. Okay. But, I know how the Navy works and you can’t exactly say "NO! I QUIT!" I get it.

You are right in wanting to discuss this with your OB. Rest assured that a well qualified OB also won’t want you in that type of situation, so I’m sure it will not be a problem to get them to write something out. Hell, I might even consider going in early to avoid being asked to do it again before the 12th. This is your second baby, so by now you know how important it is to trust your good instinct. As women we were given that God-great gift for a reason. Listen to your heart and gut, girlfriend, and do what you can to get out of immunizations until after your little one is born.

Good luck.

I worked in a Doctors clinic when I was pregnant the first time. I would vomit at the slightest smell of smoke or heavy perfume. It was really quite uncontrolable. I worked with an eye doctor and did the pre testing. Well basically you are ina closed off room with the person for ten minutes. It was awful. I told my boss that I was having a hard time. I actually almost threw up on a person. He still demanded I work in there. One day, he took vacation and another manager from another store was working for him. She told me I was not to be in that room again. I felt awful not being able to do my job. But, honestly, who wants to go to adoctor and be thrown up on?

I would ask for a note. You can not (and should not) be required to endanger yourself and OTHERS (especially children). Talk to your human resources manager (assuming in the Navy that would be a Superior Officer in the clinic). Tell them you do not feel safe giving stuff.
Mommy to Mark and Daniel | Dec 30, 2009

i would go to your OB and get a letter or something cuz thats wrong that they are making you give shots i would be mad and just leave cuz your risking yourself your child and patients i would be mad if that happened to me honestly

1. when you are in the military you get a profile stating the DOs and the DON’Ts. Yes,the navy gives them because in Okinawa there is only Lester Naval Hospital to give birth at and the only OB/GYN.

2. Being medical, your doctor and your supervisor should know the proper things to do in this situation. I worked as a combat medic for 4 years and I was a dental tech, not a medic. It’s common sense if someone is light-headed, DON’T MAKE THEM STAND!

3. Just because your supervisor tells you to do something doesn’t mean you cannot voice your concerns. I’m just a lowly E-5 in the Army and don’t think i don’t go around telling E-7s, E-8s my concerns if they tell me to do something while I am pregnant (I’m 18 weeks).

4. What I would do is go to my OB/GYN and tell him to modify my profile. Tell him I feel light-headed when standing and give him the slip I got from the ER that says I am threatening a miscarriage. That’s just me using common sense though…

The right to have children should be a marketable commodity, bought and traded by individuals but absolutely limited by the state. - Kenneth Boulding, originator of the "Spaceship Earth" concept (as quoted by William Tucker in Progress and Privilege, 1982)

We have wished, we ecofreaks, for a disaster or for a social change to come and bomb us into Stone Age, where we might live like Indians in our valley, with our localism, our appropriate technology, our gardens, our homemade religion — guilt-free at last! — Stewart Brand (writing in the Whole Earth Catalogue

Free Enterprise really means rich people get richer. They have the freedom to exploit and psychologically rape their fellow human beings in the process . . . Capitalism is destroying the earth. — Helen Caldicott, Union of Concerned Scientists

If you ask me, it’d be a little short of disastrous for us to discover a source of clean, cheap, abundant energy because of what we would do with it.

The only real good technology is no technology at all. Technology is taxation without representation, imposed by our elitist species (man) upon the rest of the natural world — John Shuttleworth

What we’ve got to do in energy conservation is try to ride the global warming issue.

should i trust the father of my children who has lied to me for 10 years?
I have two children for this man have known him for 10 years. We met when i was 16 and he was 19. I always thought we were in a relationship however since the birth of our 1st child 4 years ago i have realised that it was purely a sexual one. He has always kept me like a dirty secret in his life as he is muslim and i am not. His family do not accept my children and he has always lied to me and his family. when i was 3 months pregnant this year i found out he was getting married to a muslim girl that had come from pakistan she is now pregnat and expecting their child any day now. He has played no role throughout both of my pregnancies and in both childrens life yet he claims i am to blame for everything he has not done he makes excuses and when confronted hes shouts and gets mad that its not worth trying to speak. I always give him chances however since the birth of my second child 12weeks ago im starting to hate him and not forgive him anymore how many chances should i give him concerning me and the children? He made me believe he would be there at the second childs birth then he wasnt and his family dont want him to see his kids. I have to prompt him to buy his sons xmas presents and to do anything for them hes never bought the second child a present since hes been born and now his wife is pregnant he kepts telling me how he never wanted my children that they dont count cos we werent married when we had them. I dont know what to do cos one day he wants them the next he doesnt and its hurting me and my 4 year old as he is old enough to know whats happening. Im scared that if i do cut him out i am failing my children even thou i know its sort of the right thing to do for them i just want my sons to have a father they deserve that but the continous lies are bringing me down everyday. Is there any point in trusting him?
He does pay maintenance throught the csa his family made me get a dna test with our first son.

---

i know the answer and its forget him and call the CSA then he will listen to them and pay for what he has done not being funny but sounds like all he wanted was sex now he has a wife he has no repsect for you or your children
owlatron | Dec 16, 2009

you’re not failing your children at all

i know it’s not the fashionable thing to say right now - thanks to our jeremy kyle culture - but my ol’ dad used to say that if a father doesn’t want to treat his kids/accept parental responsibility - no one can make him - it’s best for the mother to cut all ties, and be with a man who will treat her kids like his own - creating a secure and loving family. biological dads are just that - if they can’t be bothered - what’s the point?

you sound wonderful - go and have a happy life without this idiot - and do something for you and your kids (get a nice job/hobby/find new friends etc) xxxx

If I was you I wouldn’t. If he didn’t want to see them and doesn’t accept them as his children then forget him! I would tell him fine I don’t need him, and not to worry about his kids no more. You are a strong woman for putting up with him for 10 years!!! You don’t need that, and your kids don’t need a dad who doesn’t even want to see them, that will not hurt them more when they are older. You have to whats best for them, and right now that seems like you need to get the father out of the picture. So just focus on your children, and stay strong!!!! You can do it, I know you can!!! And maybe one day you will meet a MAN, and not a boy who is immature, you can take good care of you and be a great father for your children!!! Good Luck, and have a Merry Christmas!!!
Cierra | Dec 16, 2009

Didn’t he ever mention contraception?? Kinda careless of you both, particularly the second child, afterall you must have known what he was like with the first…. still accidents do happen.

Don’t think there is any point trusting him. Sadly, he may never become the father you want him to be, nor the one your kids so deserve. He’s made that quite clear.

You’d be right to cut him out, in my opinion, and focus your efforts on finding a new father for them.

Best of luck to you and your kids x
Han | Dec 16, 2009

Forget this loser. He will never be a father to his children. You, he used as a kept
bimbo. Take him to court and sue him for child support. It doesn’t matter what his
faith is. He made the children, he supports them financially. Make sure you get both
sole and legal custody of your children. Don’t let him walk away from this. As for letting your children down, you aren’t the one letting them down. Find someone new
to love and let that man be a father to your children.
Precious Gem | Dec 16, 2009

I think the best thing to do in this situation is cut him out of your lives. It is better for your children to grow up with a loving strong mother than with a father that doesn’t seem to care. This will confuse them. Yes, he is the father, but he doesn’t act like one. There’s more to being a parent than making the baby. However, I would suggest you get child support from him, as these are legally his children and there should be no reason you bear the whole of the financial burden.
Chinchilla | Dec 16, 2009

NO, you can not trust this man. You need to cut ties with him 100%.. Being that he is Muslim they have a certain religion and that is that they only marry there own kind. He knew that she shouldn’t have gotten involved with you at the time but lust took over.He didn’t expect you to get pregnant and have 2 of his children either. He most likely lied to his parents because it is something that muslim ppl don’t do. He would be considered an "outcast" with his family if he told them the truth.
He will never be there for you and your kids. Never! I would cut him off now. He will never be the man that you wanted. He will never be there for you. He is starting his own life now with his new wife and will most likely start a Muslim family with her. Muslims Don’t celebrate christmas! That is why he has not offered to buy presents.
You are not failing with your kids, He doesn’t want to be a part of there lives. I wouldn’t force that. Your kids will Sense that he doesn’t want them. That will be a burden on your kids. He has started a new life and his kids will know that they are not wanted.
I would suggest letting him go and treat your kids with lots of love,. They don’t need a dead beat dad that doesn’t take any interest in them. It will be better to leave him out of the picture. You need to realize that he will NEVER be a family man with you and his kids. NEVER! Having your kids was a mistake to him and im sure he regreats it every single day. Cut ties now before your kids get older and can see for them selves that there own dad doesn’t want them. That can be devastating to any child.

If you’re in the UK, get a DNA test and a court order to force him to pay you child maintenance. Other than that, end the relationship and move on. Clearly it was a non-starter anyway.

On the way home, they all stop at a gas station on Reservation Road. There, in one terrible instant, he is taken from them forever. On a warm September evening, law associate Dwight Arno and his 11-year-old son Lucas are attending a baseball game.

Driving his son back to his ex-wife, Lucas’ mother Ruth Wheldon, Dwight heads towards his fateful encounter at Reservation Road.

Haunted by the tragedy, both fathers react in unexpected ways, as do Grace and Emma. As a reckoning looms, the two fathers are forced to make the hardest choices of their lives.

The stimulus went to what!?
These people have no clue…unless all they wanted to do was spend money and reward their friends. How does any of this tie in with stimulating the economy? Everyone knows that heavy infrastructure work and legitimate new construction projects help the most…hell, even temporally stopping collecting taxes for the feds for a quarter would’ve been more productive than this crap.

The $787 billion stimulus bill was passed in February and was promised as a job saver and economy booster. Here is where some of the money went:

- $300,000 for a GPS-equipped helicopter to hunt for radioactive rabbit droppings at the Hanford nuclear reservation in Washington state.

- $30 million for a spring training baseball complex for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies.

- $11 million for Microsoft to build a bridge connecting its two headquarter campuses in Redmond, Wash., which are separated by a highway.

- $430,000 to repair a bridge in Iowa County, Wis., that carries 10 or fewer cars per day.

- $800,000 for the John Murtha Airport in Johnstown, Pa., serving about 20 passengers per day, to build a backup runway.

- $219,000 for Syracuse University to study the sex lives of freshmen women.

- $2.3 million for the U.S. Forest Service to rear large numbers of arthropods, including the Asian longhorned beetle, the nun moth and the woolly adelgid.

- $3.4 million for a 13-foot tunnel for turtles and other wildlife attempting to cross U.S. 27 in Lake Jackson, Fla.

- $1.15 million to install a guardrail for a persistently dry lake bed in Guymon, Okla.

- $9.38 million to renovate a century-old train depot in Lancaster County, Pa., that has not been used for three decades.

- $2.5 million in stimulus checks sent to the deceased.

- $6 million for a snow-making facility in Duluth, Minn.

- $173,834 to weatherize eight pickup trucks in Madison County, Ill.

- $20,000 for a fish sperm freezer at the Gavins Point National Fish Hatchery in South Dakota.

- $380,000 to spay and neuter pets in Wichita, Kan.

- $300 apiece for thousands of signs at road construction sites across the country announcing that the projects are funded by stimulus money.

- $1.5 million for a fence to block would-be jumpers from leaping off the All-American Bridge in Akron, Ohio.

- $1 million to study the health effects of environmentally friendly public housing on 300 people in Chicago.

- $356,000 for Indiana University to study childhood comprehension of foreign accents compared with native speech.

It went to making the government bigger and to special interest like paying off Obama’s political donors. This is the great success of his "stimulus plan", it did what they wanted it to do, not what they claimed (lied) it would do.

This is why the Republicans were so opposed to the stimulus. Only a fraction of it went toward real job creation. Now they want a second stimulus specifically for job creation because they screwed up the first one so bad.
The dems have too much power and that’s why they are going to start losing a lot of elections.

Amazing and not a one real job was created in the private sector, only pet projects with temp jobs. Now, they are talking about another stimulus per Buffet. 3 years of this crapeola to go, unless we clean house in 2010, and oust him outa there!

Another example:

"The federal government sent about 3900 economic stimulus payments of $250 each this spring to prison inmates"

no that’s all fine, it increases the aggregate demand
Its seems you didn’t do high school economics, all of these examples are labor and American product intensive, exactly what we need
