How come Queens Park get to play at the national stadium of Scotland?
Q. I'm just wondering why a small team like Queens Park, who are amateur and usually in the 2nd/3rd division, have the privilege of playing at the Scottish national stadium, Hampden Park. Is there some sort of historical reason explaining this? Thanks in advance for any answers.

where in Queens NY can I volunteer to help abused children?
Q. I'm looking to spend my Sunday mornings helping abused or neglected children but it has to be in Queens NY. I tried searching the web but to no avail. Please help. Thanks.

A. Much of this will NOT be on the web. This kind of work is often done by people who don't spend hours on the web. Maybe they need you to help them put the info on the web sites. I would go with a friend or family member, during the day or weekend, and scope out churches and places in the neighbourhoods. Astoria is one Queens community, I am personally acquainted with, which needs people like you who care. Also, look in the White and Yellow pages. Call up your precinct committee person and ask him or her for ideas. Ask your reference librarian.

What were the roles of Queens in 16 century europe? Was their job solely to stand by the ruling King?
Q. I'm researching and can only come up with info about Queen Elizabeth. I need to compare roles of queens, in hopes of finding that they simply stood in agreement with their husbands. What would be some credible online sources that I could use for research? Was this in order to leave the power in the hands of the King so as not to create disagreement? Or was it simply the result of the image of women during that time? I'm just trying to justify Queen Gertrude's (Hamlet) seeming indifference towards Hamlet's feelings about hasty marriage as well as her compliance with Claudius' decisions.

A. Their job was to act as a bargaining item in treaties and breed male children to be the next king. England was the first and for a long time the only European nation to allow a woman to be the sole monarch. Hope this helps:

What allows a Queens Guard on guard duty ion London attack a member of the public?

A. The guard is governed by the rules of engagement which is a comprehensive list of events which would allow him to use "reasonable" force or even shoot you. he is also a citizen and fully entitled to defend himself, so if you were to get a spank from one of these guys you would no doubt deserve it. I would advise against winding a guard up because the consequences might sting a little.

What city should I write on the letters if I leave in Queens?
Q. I leave in Queens, New York, so do I need to write Queens as the city where I leave or I can say and write that I leave in new york, so my postal address will be New York, New York? Will i get my mail if i write New York, New York? Queens is one of the boroughs of New York, even if i leave in Queens technically its still NYC, right?
Asked by Eugene - Fri Jun 12 00:03:35 2009 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Queens addresses always include the neighborhood of their post office is located in. So you would write Rego Park, NY not Queens, NY or NY, NY That last one (NY, NY) is reserved for Manhattan. This has to do with how the post office is organized and not the fact that this is all NYC. Of course, it IS, but these rules go back to before NYC was a unified city in the 19th century. Back then, NYC was just Manhattan, Staten Island, and parts of the Bronx. Brooklyn was an independent city of its own, and Queens was a collection of small towns. Now, even though we are all part of the same big City, too many addresses would be the same if we all wrote NY, NY on our envelopes. For example, the address I live at in Brooklyn is the… [cont.]

How do you deal with drama queens in the work place?
Q. I'm so frustrated with my job. There are so many miscommunications and no one wants to discuss things with each other so we're constantly being dragged into meetings to discuss hurt feelings or unravel gossip. What's most disappointing is that all of this drama involves women - the men are never involved. I just want to do my job, but if I'm quiet and keep to myself, then people's feelings get hurt, because I'm not being social. If I'm social, then I risk being pulled into the middle of 'she said, she said' and have to sit in meetings and defend myself. I was sick and on cold medicine and someone told my boss that they had a problem because I wasn't chatty that day - I'm not kidding. This is NUTS! This is so frustrating and it's… [cont.]
Asked by LifesAMystery - Thu Mar 8 13:14:36 2007 - - 8 Answers - 1 Comments

A. OMG. Your coworkers are nuts. I will say this, though, I understand from personal experience. My advice is this, it is better to be thought of as not social, than to be pulled into the middle of their neverending soap opera. And above all, don't listen to, participate in, comment on, or overhear accidentally any of the gossip going on. If you accidentally overhear, pretend like you didn't hear it. Then in the meeting where everyone is trying to unravel the gossip, say, "I don't know. I haven't heard anything about it." My experience is that this is the best way. If you have not joined in any conversations or commented on the gossip, no one can prove that you did or did not hear anything.

Can I get both toms and queens 'fixed' for 5 with Cat Protection neutering campaign?
Q. I do qualify, just want to check both toms and queens could be done for 5 each. Also when should I contact the vets? - my kittens will reach 4 months at the end of this month, do I need to contact the vets in advance to sort out the Cat Protection's contribution to the neutering? I can't use a phone, or else I'd call the CP directly.
Asked by Lebeautemps - Fri Sep 11 17:17:17 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I'm a CP volunteer. Do you have a written voucher signed by your local branch or have you been given the leaflet with a phone number on? The voucher covers both spaying and neutering for 5. Not all vets accept the voucher so if a vet is not stated on your voucher you need to contact your local branch and they will advise you. Not all vets will neuter at 4months so double check some prefer to do it at 6months. When you ring the vets just tell them then that you have a voucher then, you don't have to ring loads in advance to tell them. I would generally ring for neutering a week in advance so you'll have more choice of appointment. If you have been given the leaflet voucher with the phone number on you'll have to call and they'll tell you… [cont.]

How long does it take to get to Queens from Jersey Turnpike?
Q. I want to know approximate how long it will take to get to queens (belt parkway/cross island parkway) from the Jersey Turnpike. from the entrance into new jersey from pennsylvania. coming from south and getting to new york. So, in other words, from the very start of the Jersey Turnpike, how long would it take to get to Queens?
Asked by Celia - Wed Nov 26 18:16:20 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. well obviously it depends on where in jersey you are starting from. I live north of newark in essex and I can get over the verrazano bridge into brooklyn in about an hour. edit: it would take you around 2 hrs, depending on traffic and when you make the trip. it's very easy and almost impossible to get lost. take the jersey turnpike north towards newark, get off at staten island, go over the goethals bridge, stay on the staten island expressway, go over the varrazono bridge, and you're right on the belt parkway. those bridges are tolls, and the varrazono is a monster. enjoy driving over that. it freaks me out.

Asked by blue3gem - Tue Oct 2 04:32:18 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There's obviously no subway directly to Baltimore, but the subway will play a key part in getting you there. Get a Manhattan-bound E train along Queens Boulevard. If you can only find the R, V, and G at a station close to you, take one of those until you can transfer to the E (at Roosevelt Ave. or Queens Plaza). Take the E to 34th Street/Penn Station. Exit the subway and go into Penn Station. You'll be able to get Amtrak to Baltimore there.

A. St. Johns is not known as a dangerous school, no. Will you be living in their residence halls? I know that many (most?) students at this school are commuters, but because you're coming from so far away, it may be a good idea to live in the dorms for the first year, until you learn the area. And their dorms are brand new, and to me, they look rather nice. Have you done a campus visit yet? If this is impossible due to distance, see if you can have someone in admissions set you up to speak, by phone, with a student admissions rep, ideally someone who is not from NYC, so you can ask them what it's *really* like there.

I am extremely excited to learn but I don't really want to go into some intense lessons where the students are preparing for some culinary careers.
