By joing a religious cult, do the followers get a tax exemption?

Actually when a person joins a cult they lose any sense of identity. Whatever they owned becomes community property--unless of course they do not own anything. The leader of the cult is responsible for paying any and all taxes.

Any Barbie aficionados out there? ?

Perhaps I was delusional at the time, it's been a while. But back in the early 90's I remember a special edition Barbie that was called "Camping Barbie" or something like that. She had a little flannel shirt and jeans and, quite frankly, looked like a tiny . I'm aware of "Camp Barbie" with her little miniskirt, but this Barbie was butch! Am I nuts? I can't find it anywhere.

Why is my throat itching?

Do you ever get allergies? Thats what it sounds like to me. And whenever that happens to me, it just means I'm getting a really bad cough, and sadly, there's not much to do about that but bear with it.

What are my chances of getting into Grad School?

Without a doubt you will get in. There is a graduate program for anyone that wants to put in the time and effort, and it certainly seems like you do (with the added benefit of your GPA not being ridiculously low). I would recommend against going with the shotgun approach to the application process as recommended above. I did this and while I got into some decent schools, I spent far too much time working on many mediocre application when I should have worked on fewer apps and just made them all amazing! Start the process early, make your statement of purpose great, and above all get the very best letters of recommendation possible. Admissions committees usually do first cuts with strictly GRE/GPA, then read the letters of recommendation, and finally maybe statement of purpose. Put in the research and find a good fit, you will not want to spend 4+ years at a place where you aren't happy. Call professors at the universities you are applying (they are usually more than helpful and very supportive). If you put in the time you will get a spot. Good luck!

United fans, EPL or CL?

Which would you rather win if you could only choose one. Should we go for the CL or relax it and go all out for the EPL. It's a hard choice for me since if we don't win the EPL we can't take the p*** out of Arsenal's no trophies or take a lot of gloating from Chelsea although seeing as how Liverpool won't be competing for the CL for a while now is a good chance to set our 3 above there 5.

What graphics tablet should I buy?

I'm looking into this as well but I'm not sure which to buy either. I think people have got the wrong idea as the wacom's range from �30 - the thousands depending on what size you want and it only goes into the 1000's if you want your image to be displayed on screen that your drawing on if you want a wacom tablet that you can just draw on and the image will display on the computer instead of on the tablet then the price ranges from between �30 and about �700 depending on how big the tablet is and what model it is (and so how many touch levels it has eg the pen model has around 500 levels of touch, is not wireless and costs about �50 compared to the Intuos4 which is slightly bigger, wireless, has 2048 levels of touch and costs about �360). My budget is a bit lower than yours and if you get a huge difference in quality with the more expensive tablet I don't know but I'd like to find this out.
