How can victims fight corruption of the justice sytem?

I got a message on the internet as follows:
Muni security guards are downtown, (Powell Street),
checking your Proof of Muni Payment or of course your Muni Pass!

I boarded a J Church Train at 24th Street/Church on Saturday, and was waved on by the driver, as he refused to take my fare, his window and gate were closed, I followed his instructions only to be apprehended at Powell Street station, by a Muni employee who didn’t listen to my story nor would she or her supervisor check on my story.

I NOW have a court case, don’t let this happen to YOU!

The fine could be as much as $500.00!

This happened to a man in San Francisco. It wreaks of systematic corruption. How can he fight it?

Does anyone know the name of this church in Jamaica, (Queens) N.Y.?

When I’m on the Long Island Rail Road going West bound on the Ronkonkoma line. I see the back of a church with a passage from the bible from the book of Lamentations located on the buildings facade which states: “Is it nothing to you all who pass by?”

For years I’ve felt drawn to that church and felt moved every time I saw that passage on the building. Although I went to Christian schools growing up, I walked away an agnostic. Now at the age of 30, I am wise enough to turn back to God. I’m in Eastern Nassau County, but I would really like to check this church out, yet I don’t know he name of it. Although the bible passage is on the back of the church, I believe the church‘s name is not.

If anyone could help, I really would appreciate it.

After looking at a map, it seems as though the LIRR runs parallel with Archer Avenue in Jamaica, and had thought I was viewing a church on Archer Avenue from my train window as I passed by as a result, however, after checking yellowpages.com, I can’t seem to find a church on Archer Avenue in Jamaica.

I thought of calling a local church in Jamaica who would lead me in the right direction, but I rather not bother a church, just to learn of the name of another church I’m interested in.

Thanks in advance for your time. I appreciate it.

Have you ever seen a Ghost?

Now please don’t come on here and say “They ain’t real.” Because that isn’t an answer to this.

I have seen two odd things, the first was when I was going to bed, I looked at my wall and saw two very shadowy white wing’s, I moved the Curtain to see if the light could have been reflecting in but the White Winged Figure didn’t move, I went back to bed, frightened (This was a few years back.) And I WISH I Recorded it, not recording that thing is something I regret, but anyway, there was a small brown Cross on the Wall (This was back when I wasn’t an Atheist, I am now.) and it looked like it was hanging off of it.

The second one was when I was in a Train a few weeks ago, I saw a white Cross floating in the Sky, I thought it could have been a Church Window or something, but as the Train kept moving, the angle of the Cross did not change, I had a lot going on and just assumed that it was a Window, but now I think about it, I’m not so sure…

So, anyone mind telling me their ‘Ghostly Encounters’ or explaining mine?

What does this weird dream mean?? Help?

Sorry, its a little long….. what does it mean??

I had pink hair and blue eyes and was in a white dress the whole time. And I went to this boarding school that looked like a cathedral.
For some reason I was going to leave that school soon. I was done with my studies there, but my parents had not picked me up yet. There was one other student in my situation, Croy (that was his name, for some reason). He was friendly with blonde hair and blue eyes.
All of the students (ranging from ages 5-12) (I was thirteen) were in those seats. . Just to let you know, this place was MASSIVE. The ceiling was HUGE and the building was entirely made of grayish-blue stone. It made you feel very small and vulnerable. At the near top there was a circular stained glass window that was very simple with one round peice in the middle and eight peices around it. It was all spring colors. Below that was a stadium like thing about ten by thirteen seats.
So, I started out looking up at the stain glass window in the middle of it’s pool of light. I looked up for about a minute at how huge it was, but I wasn’t fazed. I had grown up in this boarding school. The cathedrial thing was shaped like a rectangle . I decided to find Croy so I walked to the left on the polished black granite floor and found him at the indoor beach that the students used. All the students were in their seats right now, we did not have to join them, so Croy was surfing in a white polo and black slacks (we did not have any bathing suits) (school regulations).
The beach was an expanse of water with a wave maker and sand. It didn’t look very beach-like to me. There was also weird mist that floated around everywhere above our head in purple and green. So I walked through the two hazes and there was a sunset and a golden orange sky.
I watched Croy surf, then he saw me. He waved and came to the shore (he had a blue surfboard with a white stripe down the middle). “Hey, Rachel, would you like to go surfing?” “What?!” He grabbed my hand and helped me up, then led me to the water. “Come on! It’ll be fun!” I reluctantly sat on the surfboard and he pushed/swam me out into the water. Then he got on behind me and we waited for a big wave. A large one came and so we stood up. He showed me the right position and then the wave hit. We rode on top of it, laughing. Then the board tipped and we summersaulted into the sand, still laughing. “See, was that so bad?” He said.
“No, it was alot of fun!” I said. We retrived the board and talked on the sand for a long time, drying off in the “sun”. Then we walked out of the haze and back into the “Auditorium” as I called it. Then we went into this office because Croy had to ask one of the workers something.
There was a worker there with glasses and a frowning face. Her arm was practicly sliced open. It was gushing blood. The lady barely noticed!!!! “Um, mam, you need to go to the infirmary right away.” Croy said. “No!” she said. “You need to go to the infirmary!” she yelled. “You must stay here so we can have children of our own. We will keep you!” I thought that she had gone insane. Like she wanted to keep us like pets forever. But we soon noticed that the other workers were closing in on us. They were walking strangely, not limping, but not normal. Then one threw a chair at Croy. It struck his leg. “Are you okay!?” I said.  ”I’ll be fine.” He replied, standing up.
I grabbed a fountian pen and jabbed one of them in the arm. The blood spilled out, but then was sucked back in and the wound closed. “They can re-heal!?” I screamed in disbelif. Croy used his surfboard as a weapon/sheild. They chased us  like zombies out into the Auditorium. Then we saw all the parents in their seats (judging by the amount, it seemed like there were 5 for each student). They gasped as they saw me and Croy fighting for your lives with a surfboard and a fountian pen. The students screamed and some cried.
Suddenly, the workers froze. Me and Croy stopped, confused, then these men in black (they looked like secret agents) grabbed from behind and pressed tazers to our necks. The parents were yelling about how this was such an outrage and were starting to get out of their seats. Then a woman’s voice came on a big speaker.
“I would stay still if I were you.” Her voice vibrated off the walls, giving it a scary aspect. Everyone froze. “We are going to keep your children.” Out of nowhere these twelve black boxes dropped down around the kids in the seats. They started screaming and crying for their parents. “If you tell anyone about this, they will die. Besides, we have many more in storage.” A freshe patch of haze in purple and green came out and moved to each side of the massive room. When the haze touched the walls, they dissapeard in a flash, revealing long corridors, as high as the auditorium, filled with children. They were all in school uniform, standing in a straight lines. Thier face were put into grins, with string or wire, like coraline (If you

Kramer VP-437 Video Switcher with Mac problem.?

I work in a church, and have a Kramer VP-437 Video Switcher to select inputs for 4 TVs in the front of the room (the same video is feeding into all four TVs). We have a Mac Mini plugged up to run everything and are putting video from the Mac Mini to the TVs, setting up the TVs as a second monitor in the Display Preferences of OS X.

For some reason, when running video from the Mac to the TVs, every 3-5 minutes or so, the switcher cuts away for a few seconds, then puts the video back on the screen, as though I had changed inputs away and back very quickly. What makes this even more strange is that we run Windows via Boot Camp and don’t have the problem when the computer is running Windows. Only Mac OSX Snow Leopard. Can anyone help? Why would the switcher be cutting away only on Leopard?

NOTE: I’ve tried restarting the computer and power cycling the switcher. It doesn’t help.

What are some word presentation programs for MAC?

I need a free or almost free program for my macbook. I don’t want propresenter cause I can’t shed an arm and leg. I want to run the dual monitor set up for church. That way i can have the words of the songs on the screen. I know of a bunch of programs for windows but of course they don’t work with mac.
No more useless answers please like notepad.

Should I get iWork 06 for mac or Microsoft Office for Mac?

I would be doing things such as typing up projects for school and making powerpoints for school projects or church, How is the combatability between Microsoft word? Can you import stuff from a mac to a windows and still work ok?

chkdsk equivalent for the Mac?

I am a Windows tech, and it has fallen upon me to fix a Mac Mini for my church. It is not booting, and from the sounds of it, I suspect that either there is a bad cluster in a crucial location on the hard drive, or else the entire hard drive is failing.

Normally, on a Windows machine, I would run chkdsk to either fix the bad cluster or determine that it was time to buy a new hard drive. However, as far as I know, chkdsk only works for FAT and NTFS partitions, and I think Macs use a different formatting for their hard drives.

Is there any utility built into Mac OS for checking the hard drive for problems? I have a Mac OS 9 cd, and also a Mac OS X cd. Since the computer won’t boot, I think I am limited to running a utility from CD, or else removing the hard drive and hooking it up to a working computer and running the scans from there.

Any thoughts? I know there’s got to be an easy solution, but I just don’t know it. Thanks
Umm- where is the “Utilities” folder? Do I need to have the machine booted up in order to access that folder?

Wacom Bamboo Art Pen Tablet…?

this is the product im talking about:

http://wacom.com/bamboocraft/

Okay so I have gained quite an interest in graphic design. I saw this tablet in the apple store in the mall and really liked it, so I came home and looked it up and it’s gotten great reviews, and I think its very affordable. But, what I want to know, it’s very focused around digital scrapbooking, and I don’t do that. I design logos for my church and notebook covers for my friends and other graphic art. But when I read the description, it sounds like EXACTLY what I want. What do you think? And if you don’t recommend this, what do you recommend?
Thanks

PS: I understand it comes with adobe photoshop 6.0 compatible for both windows and mac, I have 6.0 for my windows computer and would use it for my mac. Just throwing that out there that thats mainly what I use.
