I began Yahoo! Answers quite a while ago when we found a wasps nest in our home's eaves and got some good ideas and like sharing knowledge with someone that I have experience of. I have no favorite category or subject; like life, its variety that makes it interesting.
Read "Crime and Punishment" loved it, what next?
I also finished "In the Penal Colony" and "Civil Disobedience" which I enjoyed. I'd appreciate suggestions in classic literature please.
3 AnswersBooks & Authors9 years ago"Thinking like a criminal is the best quality a cop can have"?
This statement was made to me by a former California Correctional Officer (said he quit in 1996) when I asked why he continuously ranted about the town's low-life drug users and sellers in the revolving jail door; the validity of correctional officers tainting inmates food with drugs to keep them coming back repeatedly and his total negative attitude about our town. He also said, "I don't talk about nothing until I seen it with my own eyes."
My question is for both answerers who are in law enforcement and those who are familiar with law enforcement through family or friends, and also those who have an opinion on what that statement reveals: do you agree or disagree with this "thinking like a criminal" analogy and why.

5 AnswersCooking & Recipes1 decade agoReverse address background check online (USA)...suggestions, tips?
Want to do a reverse address search (finder) on a couple of folks that I am 100% confident of the address' accuracy. However, this particular street address actually will return over maybe a bit over 100 names, as it is a mobile home park (I believe there's actually 85 sites). I have a very good lead on their names (at least, what they currently use now) but I need to get close to the mark as possible.
I have done exhaustive freebie searches with the well known people search engines, or finders, testing with my own name, previous name, relatives names and even did an in depth background search about 3 years ago on my spouse just to see if these things held true, and was surprised at the current and accuracy. For a 24 hour pass, which website would you suggest? I know intelius is good, but what others (nix Zabasearch--I need details). Thanks for ideas.

6 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agoRough idle on cold or warm start on 1990 Ford Aerostar. Not regularly til a week ago; I had the fuel?
filter replaced and got a few good smooth drives then back to the hard, rough idle on startup. No other engine symptoms and really was running great til this. It's a 6cylinder; think the engine is 3.01L. I keep close checks on engine fluids, other basic stuff and am a easy driver with no young people in household. Any good suggestions, ideas, experience would greatly help.
7 AnswersFord1 decade ago1990 Ford Aerostar 6cyl will not idle evenly at cold or hot start, yet ...?
after driving a few miles, idle holds. I changed the fuel filter, no improvement. It did need a clean filter and I replaced it carefully with owner service manual instructions. This is a new problem; everything else has been fine. Just rough, choppy idle after engine starts that got worse in about 1 month time. I haven't driven it since fuel filter unmprovement. Sound advice and suggestions (with source of knowledge or experiences please), ideas to consider, or a solid solution will all be appreciated!

7 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police1 decade agoWhose my Congressman? Live in Victorville, CA 92392?
I know logically the answer is in our daily newspaper, but I'm disabled and unable to get to a news rack to find out. Victorville is located in Southern California, in the High Desert, if that helps any. Who my Congressman/woman is and his/her phone#, address, email, person to contact for communication would be a tremendous help.
