Battle Ground: Wings Over Europe

In the dark early days of WWII, Nazi Germany's military stunned the world with its blitzkrieg, quickly overtaking Europe. A very large part of their success was the German air force, the Luftwaffe. Their aircraft, superior in number and design to the Allies, controlled the skies, raining death and destruction from Poland to Great Britain. The Royal Air Force had to take to the skies and do battle with the Luftwaffe, until America entered the war, and were badly overmatched by the Nazi's Luftwaffe. This two DVD collection of documentaries from WWII takes you inside the air war in Europe. From the first B-17 missions over Germany to the final achievement of Allied air superiority over the Luftwaffe, these gripping films tell the story of the men and the machines that made victory in the sky possible.

Voting Question: Why is it that if I look forward to something, it usually never pans out? (music related)?
I'm in an extremely stressed out mood, and I would appreciate some advice or at least some counseling on the matter.
Let's start: My high school years have been miserable to say the least, with a few good moments here and there. So I just wanted to do something to go out on a bang with, and I did it in the form of wanting to compete in my school's battle of the bands.
Therefore, I made a band roughly 2 months ago, and just when things were going great for the band, getting our cover and original for the battle of the bands ready, something always comes up that's determined by fate that screws up any chance of a practice. Maybe it's drama or some arguments with the parents of a band member that prevents any progress of the band. Or it's the drummer that gets grounded, so we can't even have a practice. People aren't doing what they should be, and therefore it seems like I'm the only one who's on track with everything, while every other member is learning the song wrong, didn't even bother to look at the rhythm, etc. It feels like I'm the manager, creative source, as well as the lead guitarist.
I even shelled out almost $2k (my money made last summer) on a new guitar and amp. So I'm pissed to say the least that I won't have an opportunity to use them. I mean ever since I started this band, I've been playing guitar for hours on end on a daily basis. It's getting me into guitar, and I just want to get out of high school on a good note.
It's like that show "Made" on MTV, which kids try to pursue a goal over 8 weeks or so. But there's no cameras following me, no one motivating me, and I'm the one paying for the equipment.
I believe this is an admirable goal, but why does fate usually screw up anything I look forward to and pursue with ambition?
I realize no one is going to read this, but it's a relief getting this off my chest.
***And please don't say just make a new band, because I only have 2.5 years of experience under my belt, and it is self taught, so I have little music theory knowledge to communicate with, and most other musicians in my school will feel I'm holding them back. This band is ideal, because the drummer is one of the best in the school, the bassist is the only one with a good voice, and the rhythm guitarist is terrible, but he's the only one with a decent practice space to play in, and I don't feel like I'm lagging behind.
What is my silver lining? Sell back my equipment?
I mean I don't want to take music in a professional direction, but it's something productive to do on the side in my free time instead of video games.
As for talking to the parents, I really don't want to be involved in other family affairs, because it's not simply due to the drummer doing one bad thing and getting punished for it, but apparently it's much more complex than that.
And when I do tell the other members to listen to one song repeatedly to get it down for next time, they tell me they do, but when we get a practice down, one person tells me they need more time to get the rhythm. The rhythm guitarist gives me good news and tells me he has this main riff and the breakdown memorized, but when he does it, it's total crap. I know his amp isn't upto par with mine, but he just doesn't play it well. I try to teach him little by little, but he doesn't really listen to what I'm telling to play.

Voting Question: How do I protect my 4 y/o daughter, myself, and my Fiance's family from false child molestation accusations?
I have a difficult situation involving my 4 year old daughter and her grandparents (my ex's parents). They have been constantly asking my daughter if she has been touched in inappropriate places and have since thrown accusations of such abuse towards my Fiance's family - himself included (24 yrs old); his 5 year old sister, and 9 year old brother, have all been accused of commiting physical acts towards my daughter. They come up with elaborate stories surrounding each incident, although when I question my daughter, I'm told that grandma and grandpa are telling stories and told her to say that they are true. I have repeatedly asked them to stop with the accusations, and also to stop asking my daughter questions she can't fully comprehend (and I'm afraid their questioning of her frequently might give her emotional problems in the future) and they continue to do so. My Fiance's family is worried of a backlash against the members in their family if this is pursued any further, they want to take legal action against the grandparents to make the accusations stop. Do they have grounds to do this? Also what can I do to put a stop to this to protect my child and my Fiance's family at the same time? I have no doubt in my mind that my daughter has never been treated badly physically, and believe that my ex's parents are attempting to build a case against me to prepare for a custody battle, which may be fueling these accusations towards my future husband, and brothers and sisters.
Edit: The father has been out of the picture for many years. He joined the military over a year ago to avoid going to jail for unpaid child support (his parents paid over 3k back for him to enter service), and has had no relationship with his daughter during the past 4 years except when it was forced upon him by his parents. My Fiance has taken her in since she was a year old and she has been in a very loving and safe household since.

Resolved Question: Does this make my character really immature?
Okay I am 13 years old and writing a story about a girl named Meghan Hough who is 17 years old and almost 18. Meghan is rich, famous, and is very snobby. Meghan has a boyfriend named Matthew Parker who is also rich and famous. They both go to public school and it is almost graduation. Matthew becomes abusive towards Meghan and than one day rapes her. Meghan finds out she is pregnant and needs to turn her life around. ( I may change it to private school.)
Okay since you read that part ignore all my grammar and spelling.
mistakes I haven't edit yet. This is a little piece from chapter 1.
?Were where you at Meghan.?
?At a friends house.?
My mothers face irrupted with intense anger.
?Meghan try again because I know you are lying to me and also you are wearing party clothes.?
?Seriously, mom I was at a friends house and we had a little fashion show.?
?Meghan go to your room now!?
?NO!?
?Meghan give me your cell phone now.?
?I DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOU! YOU CAN NOT CONTROL MY FREAKIN' LIFE!?
I start to walk out the door were I will call the limo to take me back to the party.
?Were do you think you are going, young lady?? my mother interrogated with her eye brow starting to rise.
?Back to the party.? I said with my teeth clenched.
?Oh no you aren't because you have to go to school later.?
? I don't really give a crap if I have school today. I can do what EVER I want TO DO. Do you like understand this. Or do I have to repeat it to you. Huh??
? YOU DO NOT EVER TALK TO ME LIKE THAT YOUNG LADY!?
?I DON'T FREAKIN CARE OF WHAT YOU SAY. I HATE YOU. YOU ALWAYS TRY TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO. WELL I AM ALMOST 18 AND DON'T NEED YOU TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO!?
? Meghan Elizabeth Hough go to your room now because you are GROUNDED, young lady. Do you understand me??
? OH. I AM NOT GROUNDED BECAUSE I AM TOTALLY NOT EVER GOING TO LISTEN TO YOU EVER AGAIN. YOU ARE THE MOST HORRIBLE LADY IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. YOU THINK YOU ARE BETTER THAN ANYONE. WELL THINK AGAIN YOU ARE THE WORST PERSON EVER.?
?MEGHAN, I AM IN NO MOOD TO ARGUE WITH YOU AT THIS HOUR. NOW LISTEN TO ME OR YOU WON'T EVER SEE BROAD DAYLIGHT EVER AGAIN.?
? CONGRATULATIONS, YOU JUST WON THE AWARD FOR WORST MOTHER OF THE YEAR AND IN THE UNIVERSE!?
My mothers face turned a bright shade of red. My mother came closer to me than slapped me on the face. Tears started to cascade down my face.
?I HATE YOU.? I yelled as I quickly ran out the door.
I pulled out my cell phone and dialed the number of the limo service and asked for them to come and pick me up.
The limo shortly arrived. I got into the limo. I told the limo driver to take me back to the party.
When I arrived to the party, I started to look for Josh. It took at least five minutes to find him. I finally found him, he was making out with a beautiful red head girl.
******************************************
I arrived to school at 7:15 am like usual. Today I was especially tired because I was partying all night through this morning.
Matt my boyfriend came up to me with two cups of coffee in his hands.
?Here, I think you need this.?
?Thanks.? I said kissing him on the lips.
As the moments of silence passed, I leaned my head on the wall closing my eyes.
?MEGHAN!?
?What! What happened!? I shouted spilling the coffee all on Matt. ?Matt. I am so sorry!?
?It's okay Meghan, it was just a accident. Any ways, why are you so tired??
Well, I was partying all night. I thought. ?I was helping my sister with her stupid little project about Global Warming! How ridiculous it is. My mother and I were also battling it out most of the night!? Cried I.
Lier. You should tell him the truth. One voice said in my head.
Why? Why should I tell him the truth. My other voice argued back.
Yes I am 13. I will post up a question on Y! Answers when it gets published but add me as a contact and I will try to finish it, edit in the years to come! Ty for the comment about my creative mind- I thank books for that reason! OH and I will take the caps off.

Voting Question: Can someone rate and help me edit my report on Genghis Khan?
I' m REALLY bad at reports and stuff and i av an F in history right now so can you rate my report on 1-10. 1=u sound like a fu***** 3 year old and 10=u should be going into college right now.
also, after the rating, please give me helpful hints to improve it ;) thanks! (Dont hold back on ur opinion but dont be a total meany about it either).
here it is (the theme is an obituary):
Temujin, or formally known as Genghis Khan , died on August 18, 1227 c.a. Doctors are unsure of the reason of death, but they suspect he died from physical fatigue by possibly falling of his horse near the Tangut battlegrounds.
Born in Gobi near the Onon River in 1162, Genghis Khan was born into royalty; the son of Yesugei, the leader of the Yakka Mongols (meaning Great Mongol Clan). He was taught many things when he was young and was trained hard in the concepts of war and combat. He began his archery training at age four and herded and protected Mongolian camels and goats by age five. For fun, he would play polo with his brothers and sisters. By six, he as allowed to go on the Yearly Hunt?this hunt was very dangerous and important. It was known to train the young, male members of the clan skillful and fearless ways for future hunting and combat. He began his reign at age nine, when his father was poisoned and killed. Because of this harsh training, he became a strong warrior, conqueror, nomad and leader of his clan. He conquered many other tribes and led his people to victory and success through the most difficult times.
Without him, Mongolia wouldn?t exist. Despite his difficult, but rewarding childhood, Temujin, or Genghis Khan conquered many other tribes in the area of Mongolia. Because all of these clans were under his reign he had united Mongolia. He went against all odds when he first began to rule by leading the Yakka to many victories. He will be remembered.
He grew up in a large family and had the luxury of playing with many brothers and sisters. His father, Yesugei, was his biggest role model. He trained Temujin hard and had high expectations that pushed him forward. While his father was firm and rough with Temujin?s training, his mother, Ho?elun, was loving and compassionate, however she did not play a big role in his life.
The services will be held at 8:00-10:00 am on August 24th near the Tangut battle grounds in honor of his death.
(and if u wanna do it for me :P please include the citation or bibliography or wtvr it is :P)
o yea...its organized into paragraphs in word it just didnt come up like that when i pasted it :S my bad
which paragraph do u like better?
original: Despite his difficult, but rewarding childhood, Temujin, or Genghis Khan, conquered many other tribes in the area of Mongolia. Because all of these clans were under his reign he had united Mongolia! He went against all odds when he first began to rule by leading the Yakka to many victories. He will be remembered.
new: Despite his difficult, but rewarding childhood, Temujin, or Genghis Khan, conquered many other tribes near the area of Mongolia. He went against all odds by leading the Yakka to many victories. By defeating and reigning over other tribes, he had united Mongolia. This is a truly magnificent achievement in only one lifetime. He will always be remembered.
(end)

Resolved Question: Star wars: Galactic battle grounds?
Anyone know a website that goes indebt about multiplayer issues with Galactic battleground saga. Me and friend can connect sometimes and other times we can't then when we start a game sometimes it lets us and other times it doesn't and when we are playing it disconnects us and then want let us connect at all anymore. I think it has to do with our IPs. How can we find our real IPs when we are behind a router. Tried myipcom but that still isnt the right one i think. Even took out the routers on both our systems and tried straight off the cable modems, that was a No go after the reboots were done any help on this would be nice.

Resolved Question: Was Jesus a Palestinian freedom fighter?
The question caught my eye as it is asking if Jesus was a Palestinian terrorist, particulary apposite at Christmas and with the Gaza offensiveness.
The Zealots were a Jewish political movement in the 1st century CE that tried to incite rebellion against the Roman Empire and expel it from Judea during the Great Jewish Revolt (66-70 CE), when the Romans introduced the imperial cult. The Zealots continued to oppose the Romans due to Rome 's intolerance of their culture and on the grounds that Israel belonged only to a Jewish king descended from King David. The disciple Simon (Peter) is specifically mentioned as a Zealot. (Luke 6:15 and Acts 1:13
Luke 6:14-16
Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot, Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
Acts 1:13
When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
Both the texts say that it was Simon not Simon Peter who was the Zealot, There was evidently two Simons, one who Jesus nicknamed Peter, and the other who was Zealot, ie someone who today would be considered a "freedom fighter" for Israel against the occupying Romans, on the grounds as is mentioned above that the nation of Israel was meant to be led by a Jewish King, "Was" a zealot, since it is believed that he was as it were an ex-zealot after he became a follower of Jesus.
The Zealots during the time of Jesus had their forerunners from 160 years before Christ with being followers of Macabees (these produced the wars between Rome and Jews which then later after the death of Christ led to the sacking of Jeursalem and the final battle at Masada in 73,
Many people believe that the statement of Jesus in Luke 21:20-24 to refer to this time as well as perhaps a future time.
"When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
Sicarii (Latin plural of Sicarius 'dagger') were an extremist group of Zealots. At popular assemblies, particularly during the pilgrimage to the Temple Mount , they stabbed their enemies (Romans or Roman sympathizers, Herodians, and wealthy Jews comfortable with Roman rule), lamenting ostentatiously after the deed to blend into the crowd to escape detection. Literally, Sicarii meant "dagger-men". In the name of Judas Iscariot, the apostle who betrayed Jesus, the epithet "Iscariot" is read by some scholars as a Hellenized transformation of sicarius. The suffix "-ote" denotes membership or belonging to - in this case to the sicarii, or perhaps even the leader of that group.
Since Jesus and his disciples were said to function in Galilee, now Northern Palestine, does that mean the Bible is saying they were Palestinian freedom fighters?
The logic seems to be that the Zealots were fighting Roman rule, Judas Escariot was a zealot, so Judas was fighting Roman rule. Jesus was a friend of Judas. Therefore Jesus was fighting Roman rule? Not necessarily as Judas betrayed Jesus, so, Jesus was fighting (potential) jewish rule? Therefore he was a Palestinian "terrorist"? It is part of a question about who was in that area and what claims they can make today. "The remnant", that was part of it ? these are the final generations of Christians, the 144 000, who will repel the armies of Satan as the world is destroyed. The Koran also says that Jesus will return for the final judgement and the slide towards the end of the world can be known when the jews are permitted to start accumulating in one spot on the planet. This might just mean the end of the jewish people.
It is true that apart from Simon the ex zealot, it is also possible that Judas Iscariot was a potential secret admirer, He was also a thief (several verses state that he stole form the common purse) so not really someone defending the existing order shall we say. It also seems significant that Pontius Pilote didn't think Jesus was a threat to the Roman empire during his trial, realised that Jesus was not interested in establishing or overthrowing the political kingdom, merely in establishing a spiritual kingdom hence the passage in John 18:36:
Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants woul

Resolved Question: Parents, I have a dilemma and needs some advice. Any help, please?
The problem I?m having is that my little brother has epilepsy and the doctor has said he would have fewer seizures if he had a nap in the afternoons. He has more when he gets over tired. I can?t get him to take a nap at all; it?s a battle of wills. The other problem is that his sister bullies him about the epilepsy and has even hit him in the head purposefully. I?ve explained to her that is a very dangerous thing to do but she won?t listen. She also calls her brother names and gives him a hard time when he does go for a nap. She will also try and wake him up when he is sleeping.
Talking to my parents isn't an option as neither of them have contact with the twins and won't in the foreseeable future because they were neglecting the twins.
What can I do? I?ve tried grounding her, rewards charts, removing her favourite video games and Tv and spending time with her on her own when he is alseep. I?ve also tried time-outs and it just doesn?t work. I've tired explaining to my brother about why he needs to sleep and he understands that but I think the main problem is his sister. What should I do?

What can I do? I?ve tried grounding her, removing her favourite video games and Tv. I?ve also tried time-outs and it just doesn?t work. I've tired explaining to my brother about why he needs to sleep and he understands that but I think the main problem is his sister. What should I do?

Resolved Question: My sons dad is addicted to painkillers, is this grounds for changing access?
Me and my sons father have joint residency based on a court hearing three yearss ago. i wanted my son full time in a different area but his dad fought to keep him in the area we are from and won. I see him once during the week and weekends and his dad is meant to the rest of the time.
The reality is, his dad hardly sees him and instead fobs him off with his mum on most nights! He lied in court to get joint custody of him and i was left helpless really as because my son does really well in school, the courts generally wont do anything!
Ive just found out though that he is addicted to painkillers and has been in and out of hospital for the last 5 or 6 years with problems with his kidneys. I also found out, his own brother is taking him to court for fraud. he worked for him and used one of the company credit cards to buy personal items to the total of £2500!! Hes a liar, hes never had a proper job and is a complete bum and i think the above just shows what kind of person he is! Unfortunately though, his fiances family are very wealthy and so have supported him in our legal battles. I dont think i can afford to take him back to court but if i knew i had a strong case, i would definitelyt try! Im 27 and hes 30, we have never been married and my son is 9.
I just wondered if the painkiller thing would be grounds to try and do something about the situation??
ill just add, we split up years agom this isnt some personal vendetta or to do whats right with me. Liek i said, he doesnt spend anytime with him and his own sister in law has admitted, the reason he didnt want me to have him in a different are (20 mins away) was to get at me because i spli up with him and he could never handle it. I honestly only want whats best for my son.
