Is there a weapon that would result in a more serious offense if a convicted felon were charged with having possession of it than if it were some other type of weapon?

Yes. Any instrument that is prohibited by law for any citizen to have without a license, firearms, switchblade knife, explosives, etc. Almost any object that can cause bodily harm could be construed as a "weapon" if it is used against an individual(s). If a convicted felon was caught with a gun rather than a baseball bat he or she would face stiffer penalties, assuming the bat was not used in a criminal act.

Your volts light came on in your 1995 Chevrolet Lumina What is wrong?

You need to check your battery and alternator, to start with. If you're lucky it'll be something simple like those two. Sometimes you can get local auto parts stores to check them it for free. Typically that means that the alternator isn't charging. Many auto parts retailers will test the charging system at no cost. Their hope is that you'll buy the replacement parts from them. An automobile will run for a while after the alternator stops charging, but when an alternator is not replacing the electrical current the battery will eventually discharge and without recharging the battery SOMEHOW, with either a functioning alternator or an outside charger, the engine will eventually fail to start.

What would be the cause of high pitched squeaking whistling sound in front right when driving in 2003 Grand Cherokee Limited V8 engine?

A high pitched squeaking or whistling sound in the front right of a 2003 Grand Cherokee Limited V8 while driving could be due to a worn-out serpentine belt, a faulty wheel bearing, or a brake issue such as worn brake pads or warped rotors. It is recommended to have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic to diagnose and address the specific cause of the noise.

What would happen if you wore braces and were struck by lightning?

It depends on how hard you got struck. The most probably outcome is that you die. The second most probable outcome is the you get burned and/or go into cardiac arrest. There are some survivors. I was one. What happened to me was that I was suddenly in a dream state. Everything was white, and felt like cotton. I felt no pain, not even when coming out of it. I was lucky. I did not see, hear, or feel the lightening strike. I did develop a migraine soon after, say about five minutes later, and then they took me to the hospital, where they found carbon tracks on my ankles.

What is the max watts for headlamps on a 98 olds intrigue The old lamps were 51w for the low beams and 60 for the high The new ones are 100w for the high and 80 for the low?

By exceeding the designed wattage by that much, you risk burning a fuse, burning the wiring harness, or in some cases melting the headlamp assembly and socket (this last one happened to my wife's car).

On a 2000 dodge ram 1500 ext cab need more power please help?

You could supercharge it, get a cold-air induction system, turbocharge it, different transmission,higher octane gas, change the mufflers, put on headers, watch an upgrading special on the Speed channel or other auto channel and many other performance enhancing upgrades. There are many magazines and websites that sell parts to upgrade, such as Jegs.

What could cause high pitched squealing noise from front side of a 97 Corolla's when stated The sound ceases after driving for sometime Also the sound appears to emanate from the right -bottom.?

Check your belts.It's probably condensation on your belts that has formed from either rainy weather, humidity or dew.The noise will cease as the belts dry out.If you pop your hood you'll notice a diagram on the underside of your belt system.The wheel in your belt system closest to the ground may be experiencing more rust then the other wheels from more exposure to ground moisture, possibly causing it to grind or may be bent.

Why does your 1992 Cabriolet automatic looses power during stop and go traffic?

What are good websites to look at for information on genealogy?

I know of at least two good ones: genealogy.com and the Brigham Young University genealogy web site. The Mormons are a great source of information on genealogy; they've kept extensive records for a long time. I don't know the exact site here but if you go to (or call) a public library, the reference librarian could give you the site listing. Also, check with the library, because lots of them have genealogy classes which cost nothing to attend! == There are SO many great websites with genealogical information, but here are a few ideas for you: 1) www.familysearch.org 2) www.rootsweb.com 3) http://www.cyndislist.com/ (a catalog of genealogy websites) 4) http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgw/ (US GenWeb Project; some of the county sites are especially helpful) For England (1837-1930) http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

What should you do when hit with a subrogation claim that is false?

You have to defend your self just as if the lawsuit was filed by the original claimant. If you have an insurance carrier, tender the claim to them in writing immediately and your carrier should handle it for you. If you don't have insurance, you should hire a lawyer to defend against the claim. In subrogation, the insurance carrier seeking subrogation has the same rights as their policy holder. They bear the same burden of proof that the alleged victim would have had at trial.

Is it considered abuse if your husband and you have been arguing a lot and he has started getting physically aggressive towards you though has never hit you and it has happened more than once?

I could be. Physical abuse is the battery of another person. Emotional abuse, often just as devestating, is the domination and intimidation of another person and often eats away at their self confidence. No one should treat another person in the way you describe your husband treating you. He may need some anger management therapy; often anger is only an outward expression of inner pain, meaning that there may be some underlying issues you husband should address so that his emotions don't manifest as angry outbursts toward loved ones. Whatever the case, you shouldn't have to stand for being mistreated. Emotional abuse can turn into physical abuse in one second; get the help you need for your mairriage. Good luck. How do you define "Physically Aggressive'" ??? Is that grabbing , pushing shoving, Etc ????

Do most homeowners policies cover deterioration?

No, most homeowner's insurance policies do not cover deterioration or normal wear and tear. They typically only cover sudden and accidental damage caused by specific events listed in the policy, such as fires, storms, or theft. It is important to regularly maintain your property to prevent deterioration that can result in larger problems.

How fast does lightning travel?

Lightning is the exchange of energy and plasma. According to scientist Bruce Steo, lightning moves at variable speeds. Lightning is in fact not light. But as the electronic plasma moves through charged air, it releases light waves. Depending on air conditions, the typical lightning bolt moves at 224,000 mph -- or about 3,700 miles per second.

However, the light you see from the lightning obviously travels at the speed of light, which is roughly 670 million mph, or 186,000 miles per second.
Lightening travels at 300,000 km per second which is the same speed as light.

Can matter be turned into energy and then be controlled?

Yes, matter can be converted into energy through processes such as nuclear reactions. This energy can be controlled and harnessed for various purposes, such as generating electricity in nuclear power plants.

How do you do a backstroke while swimming?

It's hard to discribe!!! Basically, you just flutter kick while bringing one arm from your hip and into the air until it is by your head, then back to your side underwater while the other arm comes out of the water like the first one. It's very confusing at first, especially if you've never seen someone swim it. GOOD LUCK!!!!

To get started, just practice lying on your back and flutter kicking, trying to keep your legs straight and get power from moving your legs at the hips. To add your arms, start with them at your sides, swing one arm over head, entering the water palm out with your pinky entering the water first. Pull through the water just below the surface back to your hip. Start your next arm when the first is almost back at your hip.

best one piece of advice for backstroke is to keep your chin up!! act like you're looking behind you. It'll feel weird at first, but it'll make your butt come up and streamline your body, resulting in far less drag and an easier time swimming.

go to youtube and search BACKSTROKE SWIMMING then watch how they swim...i know it will help

What college courses do you take to become a ObGyn?

The classes one must take to get into medical school are the same no matter which kind of physician one wants to be. Generally, the premed requirements consist of a year of biology, a year of inorganic chemistry, a year of organic chemistry, calculus, english, and a year of physics. (Check with a premed advisor to make sure that these have not changed). If you know that you have a particular interest in OBGYN, you might consider trying to volunteer with a clinic or hospital and finding an OB who would serve as your mentor to see if it's really what you want to do and to show your interest in the field. Once in medical school, all of the classes and rotations are the same for everyone until the fourth year, when elective rotations can be taken. You would need to apply to OB residency programs during that year of medical school and then complete an OB residency (tpyically 4 years). The other alternative with OB is to be a family physician who performs deliveries. Hope this helps! Dr. B.

Why do waves of very low frequency follow the Earth's surface?

Because lower Frequencies are for long range whereas higher frquecies such as microwave go much shorter distances such as line of sight but can carry more information due to the complexity of the waveform. Do a search for spectrum management and im sure you can find what you are looking for. I just think of a radio wave as the least complex because it is a low frequency and has lots of power behind it to broadcast to a big audience by blanketing a large surface whereas a satellite is a small complex antenna that discharges a high frequecy burst from point to point but can carry alot more information.

How do you get into newgrounds with a light speed blocker?

How does a car protect you when you crash?

Your car's chassis acts as a Faraday cage. All the electrons are repelling each other, so that all of them travel the outside of the surface of the vehicle, rather then passing through anything inside the vehicle, including your body.

Even though the tires are made of rubber, they are deliberately designed to be conductive, so that the car will not build up a nasty static charge. Even if they were not, the lighting bolt has arced crossed hundreds of feet of air getting to your car, it will have no trouble arcing across an additional 3 inches of wet tire surface.

The answer is not that technical no really accurate. The body and chassis of a car are designed with safety of the occupants the #1 reason. The speed, conditions of the accidents all factor in. It's safer than being in a car crash without anything around you.

If you have a lot of hair on your chin why is there more in some spots than others and why are some hairs darker and thicker?

The distribution of hair on your chin can vary due to genetics and hormones. Some areas may have more hair follicles than others, leading to more hair growth in those spots. The thickness and darkness of the hair can also be influenced by genetics and hormonal changes, like an increase in androgens.

Can you move out at 17 in East Moline Illinois?

It may depend on the city too. In our city we can move out 17 no matter what the parents say. My friend moved out at 17 and moved in with a 25yr old guy. Her dad contacted the police and they said she is 17 and there isn't anything they could do.17-Year-Olds Moving Out in ILThe legal age of majority in Illinois is eighteen (18) but however, under most circumstances a 17-year-old is able to move out, with or without parents consent .

In Illinois, if you are a seventeen year old female and have a place to stay, it is legal for you to move out of your parent's home.

Here is more input and advice:

  • Generally, no. The age of majority is 18. That's when you're considered a legal adult and you can make all your own decisions. In some cases a minor can be legally emancipated. You would want to contact a family lawyer in Illinois to ask about this. Otherwise you can't leave home without the consent of your parent or guardian until you are 18-years-old.
  • Not legally. The age of majority for the state is 18. What consequences might result from a minor arbitrarily leaving the family home would depend upon the action the parents or guardian chose to take. Authorities seldom intervene in situation pertaining to a minor who is atleast 17-years-old unless said minor becomes involved in a criminal act or is found living in an unsafe or unsuitable environment.
  • I grew up in Chicago IL. You are supposed to be 18 years old to be on your own, usually the police will leave you alone if you have proper ID. If you stay out of trouble and are not caught doing anything Ilegal you should be OK, but getting your own apartment you might be able to to get one if you look old enough and have proof of employment,like a recent pay stub. You will have to look in less disirable neighborhoods for an apartment. Because most require references. If you have a friend to move in with you should be OK, but like I said you can't get into trouble or do anything to get your friend into trouble.
  • What actions, if any, would be taken against a 17-year-old who moves out depends upon the parents. They would have the option of filing an absentee minor report(used when the location of the minor is known) or a missing person or "runaway"(if the location of the person is unknown. The majority of law enforcement departments do not have resources to track down every underaged person that leaves against parental wishes. That is why the parents would have to file a report, then petition the court for a requisition order to have the minor returned to their custody, or in some cases the minor would be remanded to a juvenile facility.
  • If it is a case of neglect or abuse the person can contact social services to find ways to remedy the situation. This often results in the teen being placed in a willing relative's or group home, until the person is of legal age.
  • A minor believing themselves to be in a situation of abuse and/or neglect should contact the state Department of Children and Family Services,in Illinois the numbers are, Hotline number 1-800-25-ABUSE or 217-524-2606. Other options National Child Abuse Hotline 1-800-392-3738 or general information and assistance 1-800-422-4453. The minor might also consider Teenline Online, an organization staffed by teens to assist other underaged persons to find assistance and solutions for their problems, http://www.teenlineonline.org. One should always keep in mind that phone and internet usage can be monitored.
  • Persons who are at least the age of 16-years may file a petition under the Emancipation of Mature Minors Act 750 ICLS Chapter 30.
NopeNo, not legally. If you did move out, I doubt you would be forced back. Since you are 17 it would be pointless to force you home, since you could leave so soon anywase. Your legal at 18
  • I can promise you there are plenty of parents who would not consider it 'pointless' to have their 17-year-old runaway child returned home. OP, you should know your parents well enough to know what their reaction would be. Would they insist on having you brought back home?

Where does an inch of water get into the rear passenger footwell of a 2001 LeSabre during a rain storm?

I have a 2000 LeSabre and always was supprised to find water in the drivers side floor after a rain. One day while waiting out a thunderstorm, I looked for the leak. I found water running out at the bottom of the door, behind the door panel. I looked for a drain hole in the door, and could not find one. (The water inside the door has to come out somewhere, I just couldn't find where!!!) I then looked at the weatherstrip along the door post behind the mirror and found the weatherstriping was wrinkled. I straightened up the weatherstrip and have not found any water for about a year. High and dry in my Buick
