During the time 1757-1947, is there a research document on how many trillions of pounds the British siphoned off from Indian economy? I'm looking for authentic research - not for jingoist outbursts.

My 3-weeks old infant is mesmerized by the sky during the day. He stares out the window whenever he is awake. He goes completely still when he is looking out the window, even does not blink. If he looks at other objects inside the room, he usually pumps his legs. I looked at his path of view, and it's nothing but empty blue sky - not even clouds or birds.

Why does he do that?

I want to build a diorama of mountains & waterfalls of about 2.5 feet height, 3.5 feet width and 6 inches depth. I want to have real running waters in it from time to time - not just the water looks only.

I've looked up Woodland Scenics diorama kits Scene-A-Rama kits SP4111 (Mountain) and SP4113 (Water) for my purpose. I'll arrange the real water plumbing on my own.

Now:

1. How many of the above kits do I need for building a diorama of the size I mentioned above?

2. Are these products waterproof so that I can have real running water?

3. If these are not waterproof, what do I need to do to make them waterproof?

4. Do you have a different kit/ manufacturer suggestion?

Thanks, Joy

While browsing this site, http://www.shopcartusa.com/compare.asp?item=HDRSR8 , I found that prices vary widely - the lowest offer is about half of the highest one - all claimed to be brand new items.

Now do you have experience with these very low price sellers? Will you buy from them were you to buy this camcorder? What should I be careful about?

I'm flying from Amsterdam (AMS) to Detroit Wayne (DTW) airport. Will the immigration check be done at Detroit or will the flight make a stopover at EWR/JFK/somewhere?

I'm visiting Florida for two months on business visa. I hold valid Indian driver's licence.

1. Do I need an International Driver's Permit to drive in Florida?

2. How long can I drive without an IDP? 1 month/2 months/3 months?

Thanks a lot.

Can I place order over the phone and they deliver it?

I'm new to The Sims 2. I've picked one of the Monty families in Veronaville to begin with. I have to send Antonio Monty to work, but no idea how to.

1. No carpool arrives.

2. If I call work, the only option is 'Quit work'.

3. If I call taxi, I can only go to community lots.

Do I have to fix a nanny or something?
