What the worth of a 1971 GMC Sierra Grande? My Father has a 1971 GMC Sierra Grande with a 402 Big Block. About how much do you think its worth?

The Hunter and the Monkey (a question asked of children in Sierra Leone)? A hunter went out hunting into the forest one day. He was searching for monkeys, and carrying his shotgun. He came across a monkey sitting in a tree eating leaves. As he raised the shotgun, the monkey stopped chewing. He said, "If you shoot me, your mother will die, but if you let me live, your father will die." This is a story/hypothetical question asked of children ages 6-12 in some tribes/villages in Sierra Leone. They are asked by the chief/elder, in a group in front of their parents. They are told that they have to decide. I first read this in Ishmael Beah's autobiography. I will post his answer in a few days, which makes perfect sense once you hear it. Sorry guys, I should have specified that they have to either shoot the monkey, or let it live. They can't kill it another way. There is no way around this question; you either shoot the monkey or you don't. You can't capture it, or kill it another way. It doesn't have any other powers either. I like the answers though, a lot of thinking outside the box. Here is the answer Ishmael says, and which I agree: He said he would shoot the monkey, so it would not be able to make anyone else make the decision.

Is DNA testing that traces African tribe heritage for African-Americans accurate and credible? 1. African-Americans are mixture of the numerous African peoples. How can we be sure? 2. Can this truly be traced through male DNA Actor Isaiah Washington said his ancestors are Sierra Leone and Angola assuming he got testing on his mother and father side. Other black celebrities mentioned Ghana, Nigeria, and various other places. Can it really be traced accurately?

A little girl in Sierra Leone needs a family...how can we find little Mariam a home? Here is a picture of Mariam. She needs a Mommy & Daddy. How can we find a home for Mariam? http://sierraleone.frogheaven.org This little girl, Mariam Mansaray, saw her Mother murdered during the Sierra Leone Civil War. After her Mother was killed, the soldiers chopped off the leg of this little girl. She needs to be adopted because her Father believes that she is worthless because she is missing a leg. You can see the deep sadness in her eyes. Mariam is now six years old.

1994 GMC Sierra Turbo Diesel? I currently own a 1994 GMC 3500 Turbo Diesel that used to belong to my Father. It has been sitting for nearing 6 years now and while my Father was alive, it seemed to always have problems with the engine. My Father had to replace the engine in this truck 3 times and the one that he had put in it before he died was running somewhat fine, granted he only had it running for a few months before he past away and the truck was parked for the last few years. I was wondering if there are any serious potential problems that could have developed over these past few years of the truck sitting. I am thinking of going and biting the bullet and spend the close to $200 for the batteries and see if it will run. Is this a wise decision? I know that the motors in these trucks are "throw away" motors and they are notorious for engine failure, but the truck has been sitting for so long and i need to sell it or else it will just fall to pieces sitting there in my back yard.

Please read my one paragraph of creative writing and critique it. It is for my final portfolio.? In the foothills of the Panamanian mountains where coffee beans gleam like placas de alto, the shacks bear the heavy weight of cinder block walls, begrudgingly. God save the chica, who was born here, wearing clothing as bright as the sun, trying to chase away the rain because she can’t afford an umbrella. Twelve hours a day, she picks granos de café and listens to the radio, Martín Torrijos, presidente has thirty rooms to himself while her family sleeps seven to a bed. Her father screams, “Oye, ten cuidado,” while she plays, “when you break your arm we will all starve!” She attends school three hours a week, and she’s Miss Analfabeta. The teacher comes only for the plata and tells stories of America. She dreams of the U.S. and the gringos in Sierra Punta, and I dream of her and buy fair trade.

Is Leukemia genetic? A family that I am very close to was hit hard with Leukemia. The 2nd youngest was diagnosed when she was 2 1/2 and recovered. Years later the oldest daughter was diagnosed and had relapsed once and had a bone marrow transplant. Very shortly after that their father was diagnosed. They say there is a cluster where they live (Sierra Vista, AZ) but the rest of the family (3 others) have been perfectly fine. Is this genetic or really a cluster?

Fear of the future...? I'm 17 and have been dating a girl for the past 4 months. It has become very serious, i want to spend the rest of my life with her. She has a 20 month old daughter. (PLEASE DON'T ASK ABOUT HOW SHE HAD HER BECUASE IT IS NOT MY BUSINESS TO TELL, BUT IT WAS NOT BECUASE SHE FOOLED AROUND) I have accepted her daughter and have claimed her as my own, not biologically, but emotionally. Anyone can be a father, all they are are sperm donors, but i want to be her dad. My dad is not my biological, and i know when i used to lose my temper, i'd through it in his face that i was not biologically his. i'm afraid that Sierra will do the same to me. i want to know if there are any ways to provent that without hiding the truth from her. I love her alot and i love her mother. i'm just afraid of the pain.

heres a little bit of my story... the 1st 2 pages. and then some. tell me what you think boring? interesting? Autobiography For all of my life it seems that somehow it had been harder than others. I know that everyone goes through ups and downs in life, but it seems that we have had far more downs than ups. Before you go and assume that this might be about a boyfriend that broke up with me and my life is over, it isn’t. For a matter of fact, it is anything but that. Everyday I have to live with the pain. This pain was not from a stranger, but from my own flesh and blood. Family, the ones I thought I knew the best in fact hurt me the most. Since you are probably wondering what happened from the very beginning, I will tell you. My parents, Kelly and Ed met when they were teenagers and fell in love ever since. High school sweethearts are another way of thinking about it. They spent almost if not everyday together. Utterly and completely in love. My father had one brother, Eric, and one sister, Elaine. He and Eric were close, while on the other hand, he and his sister were not. Although they necessarily weren’t the best of friends, they got along some sort. On the other hand, my mom had two sisters, Marcy and Sheri. Each of her sisters were four years apart, from the youngest to the oldest. For the most part, my mom was me mediator for the both of them. For the fact that my mom wasn’t raised by a wealthy family, automatically, his parents were skeptical of her. Although it was not right, judging her from her background, not getting a chance to know her, even though her family had not been bad people, he still loved her. This is an emotional event that I wish to talk about later on in my story. In the middle of October the year of 1983, the wonderful news came that Kelly and Ed were having their first child, my brother, Eddie. That was the turning point of their lives. My mother was merely eighteenth and moving out with the love of her life, my father, Ed. He moved out of his house, beginning his life with his future wife just one day before his twentieth birthday. Full of different emotions, scared, nervous, and also excited, they couldn’t wait to start their new life together. As a family in the making. At 6:59 am, my older brother, Edward Michael III was born. A beautiful baby boy, in her arms, insufferable pain that can never be described but yet at the same time was the best day of both of their lives. June 7, 1984, my parents were on their way to their home to start their new life. For the time being, Mary Kay and Ed tolerated my mom, and although there might have been the slightest of turmoil, my mom and dad still would often go to his parents house to let them see their grandson. My mom’s parents, Marlene and Terry were also in love with the new addition to the family. For years everything seemed to be working out fine. Everyone was fine and got along. The baby was slowly growing into a toddler. Before they knew it, “the baby” was now entering his first years of school. October of 1989, was also very exciting news. Kelly and Ed, now married for 5 years, were about to have another baby. Yet ecstatic and nervous at the same time, the three of them were more than willing to have another addition to the family. This baby girl that was born on 10:54am, May 13, 1990, Brittany Rachelle. Yes, this new addition to the family was me. Realizing that college didn’t work out for him, and local low paying jobs just weren’t paying the bills as they should have, my father decided to join the military. He was off to serve his country. When he was serving in the Navy, my father was shipped off to various countries to one memorable war, Operation Desert Storm. His wife was forced to stay in Charleston, South Carolina, with a seven year old and a toddler was more than stressful at times. Thankfully, his parents let her, my brother and I move in with them. Although this only lasted for a matter of three months, she was more than grateful. All my mother ever wanted was to be with her husband. Now that he was off to sea for six months, she was alone. So temporarily going to a place both my mom and dad grew up was comforting. Just to spend time with her parents, friends and other family was more than relieving from the stress she had to deal with in those recent months. The reason why she didn’t stay with her own parents was because both her mom and dad were very ill. Mostly her dad, Terry was the one who needed the most care. With her parents in the condition they were in, although she visited often, he was in to condition to handle two children. Further on……….. As he approached my door, I went to go and answer it, but instead, my mom told me to stay sitting on the couch and wait for him to knock. Much to my surprise, as I looked in the mirror at the dance, I actually felt like I was beautiful. My other best friend Sierra and her boyfriend, Greg were there to enjoy that unforgettable night. The dance lasted from eight to eleven at night. Even if we didn’t know how, we somehow seemed to dance to each and every song. After that night, I could not stop thinking about him. The way he had put his hand on mine, although his parents were in the seat right in front of us, not even caring what they might think. Or how he put his arm around me and held me close as we danced and he was the one person I could see. Although I had never been in love, at that moment, instantly, I knew there was something that could not be ignored. As I came in the door, not wanting him to leave, already, I was missing him and anticipating when I could see him next. My parents soon realized the conviction we both had for each other and were gratefully that I had found my high school sweethearts. Although he was not my first kiss, he was the one and only young man who I decided was good enough to take my innocence. It did not happen like I planned however, I do not regret it because, I can honestly say, unlike other girls my age, I had done that with the love of my life. Although it did seem like a lifetime, our relationship ended six months later. Things were just not working out for us and it just seemed to be the best for us. This was the hardest thing so far in my life that I had ever had to encounter. It took about seven months to completely get over our relationship and move on. Although we were no longer dating, we still remained best friends. As the months passed, so did my pain. I had soon realized that the pain that we both had suffered was just a part of life and everyone had to go through things like this and if it was the worst thing that ever happened to me then I was quite lucky to say in the least. Entering my sophomore year was a little bit of a challenge because once again, I felt like I was in a world alone where no one understood me. I truly believe that this is when all of my depression really started. My grandparents, Mary Kay and Ed were treating me worse now than ever. The favoritism and ignorance doubled. Things were starting to get stressful with Eddie and my parents as well. This was a time when I was not sure who my real friends were and who would really be there for me in the end. I had a lot of contemplating thoughts at this time also including whether I should continue my relationship with my grandparents or not, and whether to talk to my brother about how I really felt when I told my parents some things that I thought were very rude. In my perspective, he was simply taking advantage of them because our parents paid for half of his college tuition. Instead of ruining everything completely, I decided to try to hide it. To go to class each and every day, hide my emotions, and not showing what I really felt on the inside. To the truthful, I was not sure what people would think and what they would say. There had been so many times that I had been betrayed by the ones that I thought I knew, that it was natural to keep to myself. In April of 2006, my best friend Brittney, her parents, and I all went down to Florida for five days. I do have to say, compared to all those times that I had regretfully went with my grandparents and had gotten treated with disrespect, it was by far the best vacation I have ever attended. It was a very anticipating wait for that day to come when we were supposed to leave for our plane to that wonderful place. As we arrived, there were palm trees everywhere, and although it was only April, it seemed as if time had flown to the middle of August because of the heat. As we took our first footsteps onto the condominium that we were staying at for that week, it seemed as if all my troubles that had happened in the past had disappeared. When that week ended and I knew that I was going to go back to what seemed to be reality and waking up from my dream, I was doing nothing but looking forward to it. The only thing that I do have to say that I missed was my parents. I always made sure that I called them at least once a day and told them how much they meant to me. Thinking back to the horrifying event of September 11, 2001, I was very nervous as I approached the plane. Even with the fact that Brittney and I were best of friends, and still are to this day, one week with each other was more than enough for the both of us. So when we got home, knowing that the both us were safe, there were a few days that we needed to spend by ourselves.

Could someone help my translate this in to french? I was born in Chealsea, London in 1988 to a French father and an American mother. I am the middle child with two other sisters one who is now 21 and one who is 16. When I was born we moved to Tokyo, Japan for my father’s work and then after 2 years moved back to London. After 2 more years in London we moved to Paris where my father worked for Bank national de Paris for four years. We lived in montmartre for several years and then moved out in to the suburbs to a place called fountain blue. We then moved back to London in 1997 and bought a house in a countryside town called Henley-on-thames. At this time my father was working in Africa for months at a time as he had started several mining companies in sierra-leone and Zaire (now known as the democratic republic of congo) and my elder sister and I attended a boarding school whilst my younger sister and my mother stayed at home. My parents divorced at around this time in 1998. Today My elder sister lives in London and my younger is at boarding school in America.

Troxel Low Profile? Hi guys... I am looking into the Sierra helmet, and was wondering if this was decent... I strictly ride on our own property...I don't show or do anything w/ groups of people... just me by myself around our land....walking/trotting... Would this helmet be okay?? My husband and father in law think that "you don't need a helmet"....but since I am a novice rider, and my horse is still pretty green...even though she has never hinted of even wanting to throw me, I still don't want to take the chance.... I don't have a TON of money to spend on the really fancy ones...but I don't want a piece of crud either.... Thanks!!

Looking for beginner backpacking in Northern Ca.? I have been camping ever since I was a toddler and used to go on backpacking excursions with my father when I was younger as well. I have a bunch of outdoor experience and I am planning on going on a 3 or 4 night backpacking trip with a close friend and we are hoping to find somewhere good in Northern Ca. that will give us low crowds (not into Yosemite) and nights that aren't too cold...we also want to be able to fish and possibly trap small game. We were thinking somewhere along the coast in the Redwoods. I know poison oak will be a concern going backcountry and I just wanted to know if anyone had any info on any good Norther Ca trails that would fit what I am looking for. Please don't make suggestions that are outside the scope of what I am asking for...I live in the foothills next to the Sierras and I am interested in different scenery, so please stick to coastal suggestions. Thanks
