Open Question: Please read my essay and tell me what you think. Please fix any spelling that you find. Im from Norway lol?

To: Sonja Meijer Bundeskanzleramt Postfach 6261 124 Berlin There is complete silence in the air. The inevitable thought of the man and women is slowly appearing in the back of their already filled heads. Heads filled with the most sincere emotions for the people that they offered everything to keep safe. To keep safe from the ever growing army's for the anti-Semitic believers. The signs of a cowardly war is approaching. A war that has slowly been growing. Ever so carefully, waiting for the perfect time to strike. A war in witch the innocent lives of women and children will be lost. And for this I ask, for what? For believing in the fate that others disagree? These are the signs of a holy war. A war that one of the sides has not asked for, or wanted. As I am writing this I have not the slightest idea if this letter will be read by the ones that I love so dearly. If it dose not arrive to my beloved wife and unborn child then you can reassure yourselves that your safety and well-being will be in my prayers. If you do receive this letter then I will reassure you that everything down here in the Netherlands is going as planed. After I passed the borderline from Germany to Netherlands the cold sweat in the back of my neck started to fade. Now we were only a couple of days away from mine, and many others new home for an undecided amount of time, Huize Kraaybeek. A small and unheard-of refugee camp. Filled with the men and women who left loved ones, to protect them from a inevitable war. Huize Kraaybeek lies in the second largest town in the Netherlands, Rotterdam. It lies on the outskirts of the city, away from unwelcome visitors. After 2 days of travelling we arrived at Huize Kraaybeek, as soon as we set foot on the new country we were given orders by the owner and boss of the so called hotel. A hotel for wealthy tourist and powerful and most likely corrupt politicians and their small families. We where never told his name, but we were told in advance to call him Albert Smit, to keep him, his associates and the refugees safe. When Albert unlooked the two locks on the front door, we for the first time got to see our new home for an undetermined amount of time. It was spectacular. The walls where painted with the finest paint and the carpet was made of Berlin wool. The depressed look on your tired faces started to change. There was laughter and excitement in the air. But something did not feel right. As soon as our lifeless faces turn around Albert came inn slightly irritated. “Keep moving too your right and down the ladder”. And as soon as the mood changed the lifeless faces started to slowly appear once again. Once we got down the cold and wet ladder we realized for the first time what was in store for us. It was a hot, wet and depressing furnace room with no windows with just a single light bulb and the extremely hot furnace oven. It felt like we where in the deepest depth of hell. Locked out from society. The room was no bigger then the reception at the theatre we used to go to a long time ago. As I write this I get more and more anxious to go home and witness the birth of our child. To see my family and your annoying mother. To get up early, before anyone has even opened there eye lids to go to work, and not come home until late at night when everybody has gotten tired. And this anxious feeling will only become stronger as time goes by. As I sit here staring at the mouldy cement walls I am dreaming off going home. But I don't know when that day will come. But that is enough of me and my unimportant complaints. As long as you and our family is safe then I will do this with a smile. I would like you to know that you and your families will be in my prayers. And hopefully this predicted war is nothing more then a lie, and I will be back as son as I left. I hope to see you all soon. Abreham J. Meijer more

Open Question: Traveling to Grande St. Lucian in September should I expect a hurricane?

I booked my honeymoon through Sandals and spoke to a represent who walked me through the whole process. She told me all the great things, but she left out the fact that the dates I am going (09/20 - 09/25 2010) is within the hurricane season! This should have been told to me since they are customer service. I have two questions. 1. Should I expect there to be heavy rain/hurricane 2. They have a non-refundable air ticket (american airlines) However, if I want to change the destination, it would be $150 per ticket, any way I can get around this? more

Open Question: In laws dont want to travel to see my kids.?

They live in Puerto Rico and we live in the US. They dont want to travel because suposedly they dont have money. Three years ago we had to pay for their air plane tickets! Do I need to travel to Puerto Rico every year so they can see my kids?The in laws are not very old. They are 55 and 56 years old. Their health is fine.Something else I wanted to add. The last time they came here was about 3 years ago. As I mentioned, we paid for one of their three tickets (the father in law, mother inlaw and their youngest son who is 21). when they were here, they wouldnt pay for anything. We had to pay for everything!(groceries, going out, gas, you name it!). The last time we went to puerto rico (about 2 years ago) we paid for our own tickets and had to pay for everything aswell!! We gave them money for groceries, we paid for a car rental, gas, going out, you name it!. Is this right? or am I exagerating (sorry for my spelling) One last thing. My husband has three brothers and one sister. Anything that the parents need, one of the oldest brothers calls my husband and tells him what they need and then my husband (well,,,, us!!) have to help. Is this right too???? more

Open Question: Will my fish die if I move?

I live in Florida and I am planning a move to NY. We bought a power converter in which the air aerator will be attached to and I'm going to hold him on my lap with his air aerator. I'm also going to be bringing gallons of his water so I can gradually switch his water out with his new water. I am wondering if the pressure from the elevation would be too much for my fish. I know my ears pop when I travel there by car would the pressure be too much for a fish. He is a gold fish about five years old(small one) and I don't want to give my fish to any of my friends here because they have all had fish and their fish have died.Third answer down best answer IMO thank you just answering my question and being informative about it. Good point as well. That makes me feel better.Awesome Gary C and yes it's upstate New York and traveling through PA. more

Open Question: Science Experiment, how does the angle of incline affect the speed of a toy car?

OK, so i need help on my sceince report thingy. i need to know what to write, this is what i have so far: The higher or greater the angle the faster the toy car will travel, this is due to gravity. The lower the angle the slower the toy car will travel, this is because there is less gravitational pull on the object. is tht right?? and what else can i say?? this is for my research question btw. and apparently i need a data table (is this where i write stuff like 20 cm in the air, 1.1 seconds..?) and a graph (it says data analysis) too, so how do i do tht? and what would my conclusion say?? if you only answer one of the questions its fine, just plz plz plz helpp meee pleaseee im beggingggg :D more

Open Question: Child who was "directing planes"...is it bad?

I think we have most heard of the story of the 4-5yr old directing planes (two of them) by means on a control tower. He cleared two planes for takeoff (under parental supervision) in a room which undoubtedly had more supervision and flight controllers. You can see the story here: http://www.cnn.com/2010/TRAVEL/03/03/air.traffic.child/index.html?hpt=T2 What I want to know is this, "what is the big deal"? This child was not alone in the tower. He was not aimlessly directing flights. And at NO POINT would this child have been able to do anything unsafe (due to parental and outside supervision). To me this just seems like another case of blowing things out of proportion. Even the pilots involved thought this was fun / cute. We see on TV every single day how parents put work in front of family. Here is a father who is showing his child (who most likely thinks flying is awesome) what he does every day. He is letting his child experience something "adult". Mainly, it is a tender moment with a father and son...nothing more/nothing less. What do you think? Aside form being a bit "unexpected", what harm or danger did this father/child really put anyone in? To me, I think ti was a noble and cool thing for a parent to do. more

Open Question: What is the flight like from Toronto/Pearson (YYZ) to Incheon (ICN) on Korean Air?

I'm flying on Korean Air from Toronto/Pearson (YYZ) at 11:50PM directly to Incheon (ICN). I'm hoping to know what time they serve meals during the 13.5 hour flight so that I could adjust my meal time to accommodate that schedule. Since I depart at 11:50PM, would the lights be dimmed right away for sleep and breakfast served several hours later? I'm planning to beat the heavy jet lag of travelling west so I plan on staying up during the first half of the flight, and would like to prepare for my hunger accordingly. Also, do you have any other tips in making this long-haul flight most comfortable? Any other special advice is welcome also. Thank you! more

Open Question: Help for my NOVEL!!!?

Open Question: Does fermenting a mash to a very high alcohol percentage produce off flavors when distilled?

I ask because I have extensive knowledge of home brewing and often travel to Bulgaria. There, I take pleasure in observing how they make rakia, or brandy, from wild-fermented fruits. They rely on air born yeasts to do the fermenting. Air born yeasts are cheap and efficient, but I doubt they can get anywhere close to something like a champagne or brandy yeast, which can get up to 13 to 18%. Using these would seem to give a much greater yield than the air born yeasts, which can't get much over ten. But would undesirable flavors creep into the final product by having such a high alcoholic mash? What stops them from using a high quality, isolated strain of yeast besides availability? more
