Anyone with kids knows the answer to this one... Okay children; today we're going to learn the concept of 'sharing'. You can all take turns to have the flute, right? Now off you go, play nicely and I'll bring you over a snack in a bit. Of course, having now read the article your question stems from ...

How to lose the Ashes in one day, a new production brought to you by: the Australian Cricket Team.

Even at 3 for 58, surely England will be able to do enough from here to win the match, thereby retaining the Ashes.

Oh, right! (If I'd read your initial post a little more closely I would have seen that, doh!) Still, 50000 families...and that's just in NYC? And they are all housed by the public purse? Are similar arrangements in place throughout the US? The number of families in total that are homeless in the US ...

Re: COME ONE, COME ALL!

There are about 120000 homeless in NYC. about 70000 are single adults and about 50000 are families. When a family declares themselves homeless they are placed in one of 150 shelters or 75 hotel facilities. When they are found to be legitimately (and I use that term loosely) homeless they are then e...

Re: COME ONE, COME ALL!

If you are a homeless family in new york city you will receive Housing assistance that pays all your rent except 50 dollars a month for two years. A family of four gets 1400 a month. You can save up to 20 percent of your salary and the city will match it at the end of the two years free daycare foo...

Agreed, but if it holds together too well, Australia can just bat, and bat, and bat....Ponting knows he only needs a draw, after all. Did anyone see Shane Warne's article in the Herald on Monday? (Or it might have been Tuesday.) Basically, it has his suggestions for revitalizing cricket - some of wh...

Thank you everyone, for bringing back so many wonderful memories for me! To this day, I still blame Doom for failing first year Biology.

Just a man
With a man's courage
He knows he's, nothing but a man
But he can never fail
No one but the pure in heart
May find the golden grail
Oh oh - oh oh.

I'd be glad to have you in, Earthfriend. :) By the way, do you live in Australia? Yup! I live in Foster, about 20 kilometers from Wilson's Prom, surrounded by Andelainian-like hills.

Melbourne's about 2 hours drive for me, Seareach, so not too far, all told. But I must admit, I only go in once or twice a year. (For Arcanacon and to visit Minotaur, mostly.)
