I get the feeling not many of you understand how a small town in a rural area works. There is a no more than 5000 people living in and around the Fort Kent area. I say area on purpose. the town it self may only have a few thousand at most. This is not including the college students who add an extra thousand. If Duty (the head cop) decides he wants to do something in his back yard, there is no one investigate him. He has half the department in his back pocket and the other half are too young and there careers would be at stake to challenge him. Sure, there is a state cop that lives in town, but he drinks right beside the local cops (figuratively speaking at least). He grew up in this town and has the same mentality. The border patrol cares not for the on goings of the town so long as it does not deal with Canada or the border.

No, there is little that can be done about the local cops. They all grew up here so the older people (40 years or older) all back them up despite how they treat the college age and under. They all just think we need a little discipline and need to have an eye kept on us. I can go on and on about the cops here. I have dealt with them and caught one of them twice twisting the law and called him one it. He ran like mad when a dozen teenagers stormed out of the house to confront of him for illegally snooping on my property (happend a while ago).

As for calling them about my neighbors, so long as I get one of the younger cops, I report and complaint will be filled. This way if something ever does happen that severe, a history will be on record and will be held against the dog owners. I know the cops will do nothing. Its history I want established.

My 15-year-old is disinclined to work for her GCSEs, saying her time is better spent preening herself in preparation for assignations with her delightful, diligent, privately educated, moneyed boyfriend. She insists the money spent on nail-painting, hair-colouring and the like is an investment and will be more than repaid when he marries her. Is she deluding herself?

¡¡¡¡Dear Curious Mother, archlord gold,

¡¡¡¡Surprising as this may seem in the 21st century, your daughter's strategy is not unusual. Evidence on speed-dating gathered by the economists Mich¨¨le Belot and Marco Francesconi shows that women are attracted by rich men, while men focus more on a woman's physical appearance. Lena Edlund, another economist, has found that in the areas of her native Sweden where the wealthiest men live, women of prime marriageable age are over-represented¡£

¡¡¡¡However, your daughter is only 15; for Edlund, ¡°prime marriageable age¡± is 25-44. Your daughter is either going to have to get her hooks into this chap unusually early, or she is going to have to keep him on the boil for another decade ¨C a lot of nail-painting¡£
archlord power leveling,
¡¡¡¡Not only is she concentrating her investments into a single asset by abandoning her education, but she may even be making her main goal harder to achieve. Belot and Francesconi discovered that a strong social trend towards ¡°assortative mating¡± means that although educated, high-achieving men are not interested in marrying a rich woman, they do like educated high-achieving women, rather than shallow girls with shiny nails¡£

¡¡¡¡Your daughter should learn to work hard and look good at the same time. Not only will it advance her immediate goals, it will also ¨C sadly ¨C stand her in good stead for the rest of her life¡£
archlord gold,
Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.
¡¡¡¡Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don¡¯t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.
¡¡¡¡Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 year5s to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we¡¯ll have a way to change its course.
¡¡¡¡Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn¡¯t be cheap.archlord power leveling,
¡¡¡¡Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk re: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare¡ªbut if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. ¡°If we don¡¯t take care of these big asteroids, they¡¯ll take care of us,¡± says one scientist. ¡°It¡¯s that simple.¡±aoc gold,
¡¡¡¡The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? ¡°The world has less to fear from doomsday rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,¡± said a New York Times article.
