Where can i get disney princess centerpieces?? need them for my sweet 16 i want each to be a diff princess?
Hey QT,
Maybe I am the only one that read your question….
You said its a SWEET 16 B-DAY!
I know that when my daughter was 16 (4 years ago) — during the height of the Disney phenom, the last thing that she would have wanted was a Disney themed sweet 16 party.
Have you asked her what she would like for her sweet 16?
Just a suggestion,

Gaslamp Quarter- San Diego?
Hey Trebels,
I got to go with Gagetgal! She is right on! She has listed the best places, at the best prices, within the Gaslamp.
KEEP IN MIND. THE PADRES PLAY AT 1:05PM. THE AREA WILL BE PACKED UNTIL 4 OR 5PM !!
A quick note. You can park for free for 3 hours over at Horton Plaza, Parking entrance is on Fourth Ave, Between Broadway and “G” St. Just make sure you get validation at one of the shops in the plaza (with two kids, I am sure that you will need to buy something).
Enjoy your stay!

Why some muslims wants to spread terrorism?
Hey JUN,
Over the millennium, more people have been killed in the name of God that God is probably really pissed.
(When I say God, I mean ALL of them!)
We don’t trust/like/believe anybody that is different than ourselves.
It’s a damn shame too! I’ll bet if we were able to spend a day with someone whom we didn’t like/trust/believe… we probably would change our view about a ton of people!
But then again, we would have to have an open and accepting mind… And for many, that is just too much to ask!

Please help me tip!?
Well Seal,
As a restaurant manager I think that you have two reasonable choices:
1). Since the tip is already added on (I am assuming that it’s listed on the menu or that you are from a country that it is customary) — you can’t debate the tip — I would talk to the manager about getting some complimentary meals.
2). The most effective…. Write a letter and stop going!
I can’t assure you that you will hear anything back, but at least you will feel better.

How to stop getting boners when drinking?
Hey McFly,
This will be a little expensive, but bring along a hooker and hide her in the bathroom!
2 drinks, go to the bathroom
2 more drinks, go to the bathroom
etc.
I can’t guarantee that this will make your problem go away, but it will be so expensive that you won’t be able to drink outside of the house.

Well, the only site I found was TV guide, and they only list his money through Baywatch.

It only briefly mentions his America’s Got… stint, so my guess is anything above the 100 million. However, he’s also getting a divorce, so that might be cut down my a few million.

Where can I buy the best fried chicken in the San Diego area?
Hey Nancy,
If you get a chance and you’re in the 15/805/94 area, then you have to try one of my favorites:
MAGNOLIAS
342 Euclid Ave., # 402
South San Diego
619-262-6005
(It’s in the Market Creek Plaza @ Euclid & Market)
Bessie and Charles run the joint that serves everything from Etoufee and Caesar salads to Gumbo… and Yes, wonderful Fried Chicken.
Bessie Johnson hails from DeQuincy, LA and it seems nearly everything that she touches brings you back to New Orleans. She has a BBQ Shrimp that will bowl you over, and some kick-butt Crawfish Enchilada’s and really good Fried Catfish.
Don’t forget to finish your meal with her green apple bread pudding!
They are open until 10pm during the week and 11pm on friday and sat. Closed on Monday’s. Prices are in the $9-13 for entrees.

why do the people say not to drink alchohol?
Hey Daniel,
First, I am not a prude – or Baptist, for that matter!
Second, I drink – too much, sometimes!
The reasons that you shouldn’t drink:
Alcohol is a solvent (you use a form of grain alcohol ((The kind you drink, just much stronger)) to clean paint brushes after using oil based paint – If alcohol dissolves oil, what do you think it does to your system? )
Alcohol makes your liver work extra hard to remove it from your system. Your liver removes poisons – If your liver removes poisons, and alcohol is so great, why is your liver removing it?
When you work out a particular muscle, it gets bigger, except the liver, when you “work out” your liver, it becomes scarred.
Alcohol impairs judgment! Everything from your ability to drive to your ability to remember. Can you imagine trying to get out of a burning building when you are drunk?
All that I have said – there are some good things about alcohol!
Red wine provides lipids that help your blood carry oxygen as well as help your body fight certain forms of disease.
Beer is said to be beneficial in aiding digestion.
The Actor George Burns had a Whiskey on the rocks, every night, and he lived to be 99!
So I guess the good news is…
IN MODERATION!
Good Drinking!
James in San Diego
Can a whole chicken be stuffed and cooked in a slow-cooker?
Hey Frog,
Follow what Couch Potato says but your chicken will be yellowish in color. You can remedy this by:
Making a glaze with Brown Sugar (Or molasses, add some cracked peppercorns….Or you can even use Cola) and brush several times during the slow cook and this will give you a brown “crust”
OR:
Remove when done and put into a very hot oven (500-550 f) – for about 20-30 minutes. (You may have to cover the breast with tin foil about 20 minutes in if it gets too brown before the legs)

Does anyone have the recipe for the hummus at Spiro’s Gyros on Coronado Island?
Hey Chris,
No I don’t have it. But I do have one that you would be hard pressed to find the difference.
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas/garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1/2+ cup water (amount depends on consistency)
1/2 cup tahini paste (aka: sesame paste)
6-7 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1+ clove garlic (as you like)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper
Paprika
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, water, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and garlic and puree. While the motor is running, pour in the olive oil and process until fully incorporated. Season with pepper, to taste. Store in the refrigerator for 6 hours, for the flavors to come together.
To serve; top with a drizzle of olive oil, dash of paprika and a sprinkle of parsley.

How Do I repair the surface of my bathroom sink?
Hey Red,
The only way I know is to have a Bathtub re-finisher do the repair. If it’s not too big, they make home repair kits, but they are difficult to use.
I would try the Bathtub re-finisher route first, they should give you a free estimate, and then you’ll know what material you are dealing with.
Good luck!
James in San Diego
p.s., I forgot… You might be able to do the repair with Auto refinisher. But again, find out what you are dealing with first.

Unless you killed someone or are a previously convicted offender you will be on what is called “Informal Probation”. You don’t currently report to a probation officer and that would not change.

I don’t like jazz! Never have.
But I love Winton Marsailas, his stuff is jazz, but it fools me into thinking that it’s not.
Basia – Time and Tide! I love this entire album. It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from her, but I think that she is one of the best instruments that I have ever heard (Yes, I did say she was an instrument!).

How about sending illegals to fight in Iran?
Hey Philosopher,
I am sorry to ruin your day… Every week we have swearing in ceremonies for alien citizens who are signing up for our military. Any person that wishes to gain citizenship in the U.S. only needs to enter a recruiting station and say they’d like to sign-up.
They are brought, after a background check, to courthouses and INS centers all over the U.S. (Here in San Diego, they actually do it on Aircraft carriers for the Navy — Hundreds every month), there they swear them in and BAM! They are legal!
But I am going to ruin my chances for best answer for what I am about to say:
ONCE THEY ARE SWORN IN, THEY ARE VALUABLE AMERICAN LIVES!
Sorry to break it to you Redneck, but I would prefer 1 of them to 10,000 of you to protect the shores of this country. I am pretty sure that in the event of an attack, you would have your VALUABLE American life — sitting up in Canada!

Is an inability to wait in line considered a disability?
Hey Prof,
First, it’s not a disability unless you have a physical challenge that is defined by the ADA
Second, are you talking about special lanes?
They already have them.
They are called check-out lines. We all wait in them.
If you notice, they don’t have special faster check-out lines for the disabled, just ones that are wider and lowered for their convenience.
So wait in line with the rest of us “disabled” folks!
James in San Diego
p.s. Better yet, why not shop online? There, no more waiting in lines….
Is it legal to write a buisness letter and try to trick them into giving you free stuff?
Hey Master,
Yup, well sorta… It will take a lot more than a letter. If you can imagine there are hundreds of letters that pile into Apple’s Customer Service center every month. Everyone has a request, Free computers for this class, Free printers for the senior center, Free iPods for the homeless…. you get my drift. Since yours is an “alleged” for profit venture, they will want your lawyers to contact their lawyers to review a licensing agreement. (since you are a start-up, they won’t have any background information regarding you.) In lieu of a licensing agreement, they will want you to let them see your website and provide information on how may hits you get in a month or so.
That being said, once they determine that you are legitimate, they will have no problem LOANING you equipment for your review and will request a copy of your review for future P/R stuff.
You could probably save yourself some money and send them a letter that says; “Hey. my name is Jack. After working hard, I bought an iPod with extra money I made during the summer. It was stolen and I am not able to buy another one. Is there a chance that you may have one that was returned, scratched or unsellable that you could send to me?
I would be eternally grateful!
Love, Jack.”
There is a very good chance that they will send you a new iPod or at least send you a certificate for one from a local store. Be forewarned, if you are 35 and they think that they are sending this to a 17 year old kid, you may end-up with egg on your face.
Good Luck,

How is Iraq supposed to form a successful democracy?
Hey Bot,
I think I will be able to better answer your question as soon as the Unites States is able to form its own successful democracy.

Is “self-defence” an appropriate excuse for obviously pre-meditated murder?
Hey Mack,
Self defense is as it states — nothing more.
Murder (I don’t know why they have different degree’s) is something that you plan against known persons.
War and “Police Actions” are something that countries partake in to secure their viability and safety on “behalf of their citizens”. While we may not see the nuances of any of the three, it is the court of public opinion that is the ultimate judge. This is why, when Iraq invaded Kuwait, many nations stood side by side in defiance of Iraq. When the U.S. invaded Iraq, we couldn’t get enough countries to the table to have a decent game of bridge.
Public opinion is the glue that keeps these pieces we call Earth from breaking apart.

How can you home roast coffee beans effectively?
Hey Friendship,
First, Hire a professional roaster….!
Well, it’s difficult, maybe not that difficult. The problem stems from the fact that different beans need to be roasted to different levels of “done”, added to that are the fact that there are different styles to roast the same bean.
Lastly, coffee beans can go from done to burned in a matter of seconds — not a cheap lesson to learn.
If you really must know, see about working on a day off for a coffee company that does it’s own roasting. They won’t let you roast, but you can become friendly with the roaster and they will give you some trade tips.

Need help planning company christmas party?
Hey Amy,
I am assuming that this is for your employer. I think a wonderful team building effort would be to have a portion of your Christmas party devoted to:
1). A homeless shelter
2). A Senior Center or Nursing Home.
3). A Children’s center or your local YMCA/YWCA.
4). Project Head Start (they adopt families around your neighborhood during the holidays and arrange for donations.)
5). Toys for Tots.
6). Ask your clergy or social services agency for a project that they know needs assistance.
I would hope that everyone in your work would like this project. I know that you would all feel a great sense of accomplishment by helping out anyone in your community

i dont know what you all are talking about?
Hey Annabella,
When the U.S. Constitution was first passed and ratified by the states a popular way to test its limits was for those who wanted to, they would go to a public place (typically a sidewalk or in a park) and publicly speak their minds. Many of them would bring Soap Boxes (Actually a wooden box about the size of a crate) and stand on them so that they could be seen and heard. When they were finished with their argument, they would simply “get off their soap box!”
Now you know!

Hey Lina,
If you are on a strict “Caloric Intake” diet, then no – a calorie is a calorie!
Important tho, is when!
Don’t eat many calories before bed, in the evenings or when sick. These will not burn at the same rate that they would burn if your were active.

what do thomas jefferson and george washington have in common?
OK Truthster,
First there are the obvious:
1). They’re both dead!
2). They both were rich dudes!
3). They both were Virginia farmers that grew, among other things, hemp!
4). They both owned slaves!
5). They both had sex with their female slaves!
Then, the point I think you are going after:
They were both “Free-Masons”. At the time, Free-Masons were considered an underground, highly secretive, religious sect of high ranking members of what is now the U.S.
Now, they are just “Tax Exempt”!
James in San Diego
p.s. In another question someone refers to the “Illuminati” as the pre-cursor to the Free-Masons. Not so! Free-Masons never have advocated one world government, they were mostly concerned with the Stupid People putting other Stupid People in power. (Hence, the Electoral College in the U.S.)

are nuclear weapons REALLY wmd’s?
Hey Ministe,
I think the point that most are missing is this:
You can’t protect yourself from a WMD!
If you have a gun, and you decide to use it in a malicious way, I have ways to protect me and my family. If we are unprotected, the damage you inflict is finite!
The damage you inflict may disrupt my family for many years, but the rest of humanity will grow beyond that.
The 9/11 disaster, while horrific, was not caused by WMD’s.
When one uses a WMD, it is meant to annihilate, not just destruct. Many WMD’s alleged today, are not meant to cause collateral damage, just to end life forms. An A-bomb may level a square mile, but it will travel through villages and end all life, human and otherwise. An attack with Saran gas will have a very similar effect.
When you state that the “smaller everyday weapons” are the real WMD’s then you must add into that logic, deaths caused by cars, obesity (and Diabetes) , smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, AIDS and Lack of Health care. The death toll for any of the above, singularly outnumbers those deaths caused by small arms. While the aforementioned causes of death are all non-intentional they by far, cause a greater harm (and cost) to society than does a nuclear weapon.
The major reason, I think, that the populace has such a great concern for WMD’s is that it would not take a greatly organized effort to utilize them. For a few million dollars, one could take possession of a rogue country’s nuclear weapon, for less than that, several people could extract the toxic components from 200 pounds of Castor beans and poison a city the size of Los Angeles.
Lastly, and the saddest of all, is that we are a nation of headline readers. We will believe the wackiest things before we research them. We don’t want to know if something we like will hurt us — we want to know What do YOU HAVE that will hurt us! I will fill ballot boxes and spew lies from my mouth regarding the evils of ________, while at the same time, stuffing a burger and fries down my throat and washing everything away with a super sized coke and then drive home in my SUV the 3 blocks to my house.
Miraculously, the saving grace in all of this… There are people who ask the right questions, the Profiles in Courage that Kennedy wrote about. The people, not afraid of their own careers or what others think that ask the questions that matter. These are the antidote to any WMD’s. And these are the people that will save my, and most everyone else on this planets, collective arses!
And for them, I thank god.
Thank you for your time,

Hey Carole,
When you say you are using flour are you using the right kind. Never use cake flour, it never thickens right. I use corn starch and very cold water, works like a charm every time.

Plz help!! could somebody get me some information on UNHRC?
Well Teena,
UNHRC is the United Nations Human Rights Commission.
Usually they concern themselves with the plight of women in formerly communist countries as well as countries that traditionally put women in roles of less than equal footing with men (countries like Yemen and Iran)
Lately though, I have seen the name raised in dealing with the prisoners being held in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. I don’t know if they just hijacked the name, letterhead or if there is something more. I would contact the United Nations and ask for specifics regarding any publications that you might have.

Well Stalyx,
Here’s the skinny. First, you are in New Jersey. Housing laws are different in every state in the U.S.

2). Are they running a substandard housing tract (You’ve looked, did you see Rats? Open sewer lines? Exposed Wiring ?) ? Nope
3). Are they evicting you because they got a better offer/your race/your marital status/your sexual orientation? Nope
Your best case scenario is to:
1st DOCUMENT everything! (write down when you called, what message you left, whom you spoke to)
2nd Write them a letter stating that you feel that they are lacking in their customer service skills and that you don’t feel that they are able to respond to your needs once you are a tenant in possession. Give them a notice that you will not be moving in!
3rd Get a Proof of Mailing, preferably Certified Mail. You need proof that they got a copy of this letter.
4th GET THIS DONE NOW! Do not wait!
5th Be prepared to go to court! You may lose the first month’s rent. The landlord will have to prove that they were financially harmed. If you don’t move in, this will be harder for them to prove.
6th Make noise! If you have a local consumer helper on the news, try contacting them and see if they will help.
If you can afford it, contact a lawyer. If you can’t, there is usually an advocate at your local small claims court — They can give you limited advise. Contact legal aid. They are always very far behind! Don’t wait to do the other things! Legal Aid usually is up to the last minute and by that time, you may have no rights left.
Good Luck to you,

Can a deaf person become a cop?
Hey Water,
Well, kinda! You can get hired in most departments as a CSO. That is a sworn police officer that works as the police department interface with the Community. My sister is one with the Riverside County (California) Sheriffs Dept.
How it works is that when additional assistance is needed in a situation, certain officers with specialized training are called. My sister gets called during Domestic Violence or Child Endangerment cases. She also responds to Rape or Molestation cases. She carries no gun, and is not a uniformed officer. Sadly, you can fully understand how your challenge would not and could not be adaptable to front line field officer work.
Additionally, other fields that PD’s could use you in would be things like Evidence and Crime Scene analysis, Accident Investigators, Ballistics and Identification Specialists. All of these would be open and welcomed by many PD’s to accomplish their diversity goals. Contact your local PD recruiting office or see them at a job fair — they will be happy to give you additional information.
I hope that this has piqued your interest in following a law enforcement career.

what do you mean by to have speedy, impartial and public trial?
Hey Precious,
Well as the Constitution says, That is our right! We’ve just adapted it over the years.
1). You must be arraigned within 72 hours (from your arrest).
2). Your trial date must be set within 30 days from the date of arraignment or the next nearest available date.
3). Impartiality is guaranteed by either a jury (of your peers) or a judge who swears that he will weigh all evidence without prejudice (Although most judges do enter with a summary judgment in mind.).
4). Public means just that. Your trial is held open to the public (as opposed to a secret trial that some countries have used to convict persons of espionage.).
All of these rights can be waived or changed by you. You can say you waive your right to a speedy trial if you need more time to accumulate evidence. If you feel that a public trial would be too much for the rumor mills, (e.g. a celebrity divorce, a financial settlement for personal injury, etc.) you can petition (ask) the judge to bar the public. You can also ask that the records be sealed by the judge (done mostly when children are involved).
These rights are not guaranteed for those non-citizens or those suspected of treason or a threat to the U.S. government (Scary how The President got those rights “temporarily suspended” during the fight on terrorists.)
Hope this helps,

Have you revisited any of your own answers, to see for yourself how a question got resolved?
Hey Pieces,
Yup! All the time! I usually think that I know everything, and thankfully people on this site prove me wrong, everyday!
Several days ago, I answered a question regarding people in the middle east. I was right! I knew it!
A man answered with an answer that changed my opinion 180 degrees. If it had not been for this one guy, my narrow view would still be that — narrow.
So while some see this as only a game to see who will be number one in the points category, I see this as a way to get a little better educated and learn something important from my peeps!
Besides, Do you know how long it will take someone to get to level 10? I am surprised when I see a level 6 or 7! That’s a lot of time in front of the computer! (Hey, it might be a trivia question that Ken Jennings from Jeopardy couldn’t answer — “Reached the number 1 spot on Yahoo Answers after 16 months at the computer.” Who is…. )
Thanks for your time,
James in San Diego
