The same reason raisins bob up and down in soda. The CO2 collects around the seed until it can lift it to the surface of the beer where the CO2 is released sending the heavy seed back down to start the process all over again until there is not enough trapped CO2 to raise the seed.
Any REAL bar should remove the seeds from your wedge prior to service. That’s just laziness.

Why is there so much corruption and fraud at the Pentagon? This money could be used to help our soldiers including Cindy McCain’s and Joe Biden’s sons. Source: Yahoo News "In a recent report, the Pentagon and the Defense Department inspector general estimates that nearly half of the military’s $316 billion weapons budget went unchecked last year because the IG’s office lacked the manpower. Whereas 10 years ago when a single auditor would have reviewed some $642 million in defense contracts, individual investigators are now charged with auditing more than $2 billion in spending.

The IG also has been stretching its staff to investigate corruption and fraud cases overseas, primarily in Iraq and Afghanistan where the military is hiring contractors to help run operations."

How safe is America if we cannot account for the money the Pentagon is entrusted with? I hope and pray this money that taxpayers give to the USA and our weapons are not in the hands of terrorists. Our election news and advanced US computer technology are definitely in the hands of terrorists, specifically Osama bin Laden who has plenty of time on his hands to plot another terrorist attack.

THE BOTTOM LINE: TAXPAYERS DO NOT CARE HOW MUCH MONEY IS SPENT WASTEFULLY AT THE PENTAGON. THIS INFORMATION DOES NOT MAKE FRONT PAGE NEWS AT THE NEW YORK TIMES. WHY WOULD CONGRESS WANT TO OK MORE MONEY FOR THE WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN IF THEY KNEW THAT MONEY WAS BEING MISAPPROPRIATED AND WASTED BY INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS WORKING FOR THE US GOVERNMENT. THE MONEY WASTED AT THE PENTAGON COULD BE PUT TO GOOD USE TO HELP DEFRAY THE COST OF TAKING CARE OF OVER 20,000 CRITICALLY WOUNDED SOLDIERS WHO HAVE FOUGHT FOR THE USA IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. GENERAL PETRAEUS WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER GOP CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT THAN MC CAIN.

I think a lot of that money goes to the so-called ‘black budget’. That’s where defense agencies such as DARPA ,DIA(Defense Intelligence Agency) & the NSA get all their money,1 reason where all the secret military programs are being used on.

I did not find him attractive at all… but I think girls loved him back then. I think he looks better now.

I loved that movie, but Brad Pitt is a disgrace. Period.

This guy is a young stud. Gifted with the ball on his feet, smart, witty, and quick feet. I think he may become a FIFA player of the year nominee in the future for Manchester City. (Okay, maybe I’m pushing things a little, but he looks good to me. I see a bright future.)

He looks like a good prospect. I’ve no doubt Man Utd, Arsenal, Real, Chelsea or Liverpool will be keeping an eye on him. He’s still young and needs to learn when to pass. Excellent ball control.

I have a child&reside in a nice apt. community in a safe family neighborhood–safety is a priority to me.I found out this summer that my neighbor once started&failed at having a non-profit to counsel&shelter women in recovery –drugs+alcohol+ domestic abuse.She blew 40K in grant money (it seems she spent it on herself -the story is +shaky!).She’s decided to try her hand at it again.. but out of her own apt. instead of a commercial property !!! She now has 1 woman living with her. I know about all the details because my neighbor told me about it herself this summer… as she moved in extra beds, etc! The woman who is living there now looks like an ex-prostitute real trashy. I am truly a kind person who believes in helping others BUT I’m worried that trouble will follow one of her "inpatients"… whether it be addict behavior or an ex who tries to stalk her out. I’m torn on what to do.I don’t want to blow someone’s fresh start.But I don’t want some whack job putting my family at risk.

You have no moral obligation to keep your mouth shut. This is your home (as well as the home of many other people) and you should have a reasonable expectation of what goes on around there. What this woman is doing is surely against the rules for your apartment community. The rules are there to protect the residents and try to ensure that everyone can live together in peace (same reason there are probably rules about not hanging your laundry out on the balcony, or playing loud music, or leaving derelict cars in the parking lot…).

If you/your property management company were to turn a blind eye to this, what about when the guy two doors down wants to open a food bank, and the woman over in the next building wants to start up an animal rescue center?

Noble causes? Yes. But none of them are appropriate for a residential community, and you are not a "bad" person for not wanting services such as these operating our of your apartment complex.

There are plenty of facilities where people who are looking for a fresh start can get help–places that are licensed and have certified professionals available. Even if your neighbor has good intentions (and is not being greedy or opportunistic), I can’t imagine she or her home are equipped to offer these women the best chance at recovery.

Best of luck to you!

whats the main theme of the film Thelma and Louise?

women empowerment or pro - women

we just finished a week long talk about that in my film class.

Should he hire Mike Flynt, the 59 year old college player, as a personal trainer?

Friedgen and Mangino are both a lot bigger then Weiss.

Today in the morning, I got on the bus as usual, and was trying to take a vacant seat opposite from two African American girls. But one put her foot on the seat I was trying to sit on. It didn’t bother much, I just walked away and found another seat on the opposite side of them, which was near the exit. There was a lady next to me, started to argue with them, because she thinks what those two girls did to me was not right. They basically argued for more than 5 bus stops, and threaten to beat us up. I didn’t say anything, until one of them tried to touch my personally belonging. I only spoke to them for two sentences "Don’t touch my stuff. I don’t want to talk to you." Before they got off the bus, one of them hit hard on my head and face. I think she also hitted the lady next to me. I also got off on the same stop as them, then saw a police car a block away, and filed a police report with a case number handy.

The police also asked the Deputy to come, see if he can find the bus #, so they can find the video record on that bus. However, based on what the Shieff told me, they’re expericing budget cut, and there are only two Shieff monitoring the buses. If they really found the girls, I’d need to go to the court and justisfy, in order to put charge against them. He asked me if I really want to go through all these trouble….And he also told me the city does not have enough funds for all these juvenilles…..

One of the girl was wearing a P.E pants, with some wording on it. I told this description to the police, but he thinks it’s just a brand name, not the school name. When I got home, I did a search on the logo, and found a Middle School, with the same name as the logo that I saw. So does reporting to the school works? Or nothing they can do about it?

I really need some suggestions, and still feel frighten since this was the first time it ever happened to me, since I move to this area a little more than a year ago.

I also feel very upset about it. Someone hitted me when I didn’t do anything wrong to them, and I was trying to file a police report, then he kept asking me "what’s your intention." I still feel hurt on my right ear, but I didn’t want any medical attention at time, because was worrying about the big bills.

With such economic crisis, everything, everywhere, is about money. I just feel super upset, when they told me there is very little they can do about it, because the city is lack of money…blah blah…

my intention was trying to file a police report and tell them what I know. They already asked me what time I got on and off the bus, and the description of the girls. But what I feel upset is that the Shieff sounds like if I am not going to justify on the court, he’ll not try to look after them. I am just an ordinary girl, trying to go to work, school and back home safe.

It makes me wonder this question "since the city has no money to build a juvinille hall, that means whatever those kids did, they can always get away? Or get away easily?"

I just want to express some feelings, and hope everyone have a safe ride.

Hazel, Sorry to hear all this. You are in the USof A I guess. Well, my suggestion is: Learn martial arts! Dont be a herbivore and let the Tiranosaurus Rexes bully you. I suggest Taekwondo for open space, aikido for close quarters. Either way dont be traumatized. I wont advise you to carry a deadly weapon. That might be used against you. Lemme tell you it happened to me a mere teenager when I was in college. A group of 3 men who look like holduppers, one of them elbowed my ribs and it was painful. I accosted him and snarled why did you do that? To which they responded by going down where I did and one put his arm around my neck and asked-no challenged me- why do you want to fight? wherefore I backed down because I got scared. 3 vs 1. I already knew judo then. But aikido gave me the confidence because it trains for such situations, and multiple opponents. Not that I tell you to fight! No! Just to hold your own calmly and not get hit next time. Take care! God send you an angel to guard you.
