Where can I find a music box stuffed horse that plays "All the pretty little horses"?
I want to get one for my daughter - she’s due in May - and I would love to have it for where whiles she’s still in the womb so when she’s born she can have a fimiliar sound to help her relax. Any clues?
I always check on eBay first when I’m wanting something.

Did you want a music box or a stuffed animal? I wasn’t sure… There is a site called "www.musicboxworld.com" and they are great for music boxes. I looked real quick, but they didn’t have that toon. But they do custom music boxes and if they don’t have your tune, they will get it! So I would call them. If you go on their website read down on the bottom & click on "custom music box tunes." It will be nice to, because your daughter will be the only one with that music box made just for her. I think that would be super sweet gift to her just from her mommy. Hope you like that site.

Maybe you should get one of those build-a-bears that records sound and play the song into it. The movie Flicka has that song (:

Plot: After a plane crash, a young therapist, Claire (Anne Hathaway), is assigned by her mentor (Andre Braugher) to counsel the flight’s five survivors. When they share their recollections of the incident — which some say include an explosion that the airline claims never happened — Claire is intrigued by Eric (Patrick Wilson), the most secretive of the passengers. Just as Claire’s professional relationship with Eric — despite her better judgment — blossoms into a romance, the survivors begin to disappear mysteriously, one by one. Claire suspects that Eric may hold all the answers and becomes determined to uncover the truth, no matter the consequences.
What are the weight distribution rules for passengers on helicopters?
For example, does it matter where the heavier passengers sit?
You can download a pdf from the FAA called the Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook: FAA-H-8083-1 for free.
The non-technical answer is: yes it does matter. Heavier passengers should be loaded in the center to allow for better control in flight and hover. The maximum weight has to do with the structural integrity of the helicopter and the amount of power available from the powerplant.
mach_92 | Oct 17, 2006
yes it matters the weight has to be evenly distributed according to the center of gravity(comnoly refered to as the C/G). If you are just a passenger this will make no sense to you.
roy40372 | Oct 16, 2006
just don’t put all the fat people on one side.
qtrn2005 | Oct 16, 2006
Sure it matters. You want the chubs and chubbettes seated as close to the center of gravity as they can be.
The center of gravity is directly under the main rotor shaft. Assuming they are not the pilot…the closest passenger seat to that area rules.
s76092s | Oct 16, 2006
Really depends on the helicopter. if it’s a 2 seater, you don’t have much choice do you? If it’s something like a Bell 204/5, 212/412 (the Huey), it really doesn’t make a difference.
Now if I were loading a very heavy object I would put it close to the CG (which in this case would be the back toward the Xmission and centered in the cargo compartment).
It’s a little hard (but not impossible) to get out of CG on a helicopter with just passengers.
walt554 | Oct 16, 2006
heaviest to the center of the craft
?? ??? | Oct 17, 2006
you do your best to load evenly, if you do have a "heavy person" this person should sit as close to centerline as possible.
just so long as you are within your load parameters vs fuel and length of trip, you just load as evenly as possible.
JuJu Bean llc | Oct 17, 2006
Yes, it matters. Rotary wing aircraft (helicopters) are a bit more complicated for W&B (Weight and Balance) than fixed wing aircraft because, since the wing does rotate, lateral (side-to-side)W&B considerations become more critical. One way to ensure safety is, as previously noted, to keep heavier people/cargo close to the centerline of the aircraft as possible. Another is simply to be sure that items are ‘balanced out’.

I admit I’m not the most religiously educated person around, so I have to ask, what is so darn special about the King James’ edition? I don’t recall any extra commandments or instructions from God about it. Actually, based on what I know, King James gathered a group of men together around 1604, and wanted them to come up with an English version of the Bible that could be used in the Church of England. (do I have that right?) So, are we saying that these guys had better access to historical information, actual translation capability and unbiased judgment of intent in order to a better job than anyone ever could ever until the end of time? I don’t get that.
“So, are we saying that these guys had better access to historical information, actual translation capability and unbiased judgment of intent in order to a better job than anyone ever could ever until the end of time?”
No no, it’s the stories as Jesus told them, didn’t you know? (And he told them in English, too. ) It’s the real thing, and the ONLY real thing. Even Ted Haggard’s father was upset that Ted didn’t prefer this version.

If I'm going to learn to knit for the first time, should I learn continental or American style?
Are books, online resources more likely to use one style over the other? I plan to take a class.
Most classes, books, and on-line resources in the US and Canada are going to teach you how to knit what is commonly known as *English* style knitting where you wrap the yarn around the tip of the right needle with your right hand. You can, if you look far enough, find information on how to knit Continental, or *German* style, where you hold the yarn in your left hand and pick up the wrap with the right needle.
I grew up knitting English style and knit that way for over 35 years before I decided to teach myself Continental style. Today I am very grateful that I know how to do both, especially when I am doing colorwork or weaving in the ends of new and old skeins. Which do I prefer? Continental. Why? It causes less stress and repetitive motion problems in the wrists and shoulders. It allows me to knit faster with a more even gauge and tension, and it lets me knit longer at a go.
Which way should you knit? Well, if you crochet, start out learning Continental, it will feel most natural to you. If you don’t and are naturally right handed, English may be easier to learn, but no guarantees and lefties learn this just as easily (they learn to knit backwards easier, but that’s a whole ‘nuther issue that you aren’t ready for yet <G>). Both methods have a fairly steep learning curve and for a long while you will feel quite awkward trying to move everything and not drop anything (one word, well, two, CIRCULAR NEEDLES!!! You can knit flat or in the round on these and it is very hard to drop them and lose them <G>). It takes patience and perseverance to learn to knit for most people, but it is such a wonderful hobby.
BTW, classes are not bad, they do allow you to see how others knit and pick up tips that you might not find as easily as you would from a book or a website. You do need to find a good teacher, though, and some people teach better than others, so if you don’t like the first one, find another. A group will help you through the frustrations you may find, too, and encourage you to try something that will help you stretch your skills, as well as offer you support and a few laughs. We all take trips to the frog pond (my teacher/friend–I teach as much in her classes as she does–no longer allows me to sit with the horrid sweater in one hand and the ball winder in the other to rip out in front of perfectly innocent newbies, though) to rip out a problem or a bad project. We all make mistakes, and a good teacher will teach you how to fix them if possible without ripping out. Can you learn the basics on your own? Sure, and no one will hear you say naughty words when you have a problem (I still say them from time to time), but you also have no one to turn to when you need a hand.
mickiinpodunk | Apr 17, 2008
Firstly unless you want to meet others a class isnt worth the money its just as easy to self teach.
As for method its up to you patterns dont tend to favour either type it just depends what you are more confortable with.
This is a good website if your looking for one.

When I learned to knit I didn’t know anything about the two styles you are refering to. After I had developed some bad habits like swing wrapping the yarn over the tip of the needle my employer at the time made us learn "German knitting"! It is a bit difficult but takes much less time, this is throwing the yarn over the tip with the tip of the finger.
Go to YouTube and put in knitting instructions in the search box, and you won’t need to pay $$$ for classes.
Next step is to go to http://www.knittingdaily.com and find good hints, tips, patterns and a whole world of knitters. Free site but must sign in to download. Downloads in .pdf format.

Go check out this link. It has videos for both styles, so you can compare them and see which one you like better:

Gabriele M | Apr 17, 2008
I agree with mickiinpodunk
I also learned to knit in what is known as English or American style, (a slight variation on it as I am Dutch.)
Later I learned to use continental or German style and I prefer that now. Specially when using short needles or circular needles.
It is easier on the body and seems a more natural movement.
Willeke | Apr 18, 2008
Continental - you’ll knit a lot faster and it’s a lot easier on your hands. It’s just as easy to learn as English - I just taught my 7 yo grandson and he picked it up very quickly. Most of the new instruction books will show you both methods - I used "I can’t believe I’m Knitting" by Leisure Arts, when I taught him as it has very clear illustrations and some very nice beginner projects. You don’t need to pay for a class to learn - I’m self taught - check with your local library system - they might have a knitting group you can go to and get help for free.

If someone posts an incendiary Question is it best to give your view or report?
For instance on racism or sexism or a unethical hate mongering view of an event?
I tend to give them an answer with a hope to lessen hatreds
As i say I don’t see the point of report WHY NOT let your opinions be heard
i prefer to argue the point instead of reporting.I hate it when i’m in mid battle and the question is deleted.
Busy Bee loves her man | Apr 16, 2008
Give sensible answers, but report trolling or illegal incitement or ranting.
Ed | Apr 16, 2008
I prefer to hit the question with a counter argument myself but if it is just abuse of someone I just press the report button.
Utopia OR Bust (aka Tank) | Apr 16, 2008
IZ give my view, then I report.
pegasus | Apr 16, 2008
To each his/her own I say we don’t have to agree but we all have the right to express our views-agree with you
Plato | Apr 16, 2008
Why would you want to report it? If you do not like a question then ignore it
SAM | Apr 16, 2008
Actually I’m getting used to the block function and that nice report flag, but only when absolutely necessaey.
Its best if it makes you angry, I find to move on to something else, or if you must answer do so in a polite way.
L B without his gloves on. | Apr 16, 2008
I generally agree with both you and all the answers, kind of a first for me!
larry | Apr 16, 2008
If you don’t like it just ignore it. The poster is probably just looking for a response and you’re not going to do anything about changing their views.
However, if the post is something that could be harmful (like a joke about rape or genocide) then report it. My view is anyone who has suffered something like this personally will be hurt by seeing it so it should be removed.
CC | Apr 16, 2008
I either answer or ignore. I tried to answer a non offensive question before, only for it to say community care had to remove it. (like it was protecting me or something)
Kerry | Apr 16, 2008
I’ll generally ignore. Reporting is the last choice, very rare for me.
Ern T | Apr 16, 2008
Me, too. I ain’t no tattletale.
Pam N | Apr 16, 2008
i don’t thonk people should be allowed to post questions such as those you describe and not be challenged by a balanced counter argument
just because they are loud and aggressive does not mean they should not be challenged
i think it is naive to think hatreds will be lessened because by the timethey post questions of this nature there is very little chance of them seeing the other side to a story
i just don’t see why they should get away with it ….
reported if they are offensive or threatening …..
ho hum | Apr 16, 2008
"…INCENDIARY ……… Question" ???
report it to the fire brigade instead, mate.
Seriously, the best thing to do is to give them your best answer by giving your view. That is democracy and the associated free speech and freedom of thought.
Red-Chrome | Apr 16, 2008
Reporting it.
Will it solve the misery without a solution?
Expose the ATM is "Out of service"
That read "It does not compute"
Giving views.
One try to come up with a solution.
So others can take a peek.
To see if it will work
Trying to make it to the home-run with the solution.
If not.
Just chuck it into the "Out" waste basket.
No harms done.
But clubbing another one?
One will try to outsmart with a "Punch and Judy" show.
