I was summoned to appear to another court duty a few weeks later?

I don't know about that, but after I spent a week in the hospital and nearly bled to death from botched surgery, after I got discharged from hospital and got home, there was a notice in my mail for me to appear fo jury duty the very next day. With my luck, I would have been counted as an FTA, and they would have come and arrested me! Talk about tacky!!! I couldn't even walk! and they expected me to be there at 8am the next day!!!! What a bunch of idiots!! Like I was supposed to call them and say" "Gee, Im going to have a life threatening emergency on the following date, almost die on the next 2, require a blood transfusion the 3rd day, get an infection on the 4th day, etc, etc!!" They wanted you to call in before you needed any time off from jury duty. Like I was suppose to know I was gonna end up in the hospital!!! NOT!! It looked like someone butchered a goat in my hospital room!!! So, I do NOT register to vote anymore,,,This is why...I called the courthouse, and told them about my bad luck, and they actually wanted PROOF! I was like WTF??? How tacky is that!!! JERKS!! So, I had to have someone take me physically to the dr which was almost impossible for me, since I couldn't even walk much less stand up, and then Dr had to fax a medically unfit for jury duty note!! That was just going too far!! Like I was gonna put my life on hold, and risked going to jail cause I wouldn't have been excused for jury duty??? Like I knew what was gonna happen to me and require emergency surgery, NOT!! Yeah, put my life on hold for politics? NOPE not anymore....See what a mess you can get in if you register to vote??? That would have looked real professional of hem to arrest me for being in hospital, not knowing that I would get so sick, and me handcuffed and not even able to stand up, much less even walk 10 feet!! Jerks. So, all I have to say is DON'T VOTE!!!

Which Juror (in 12 Angry Men) can I compare to Martin Luther King, Jr.?

I have to write an essay about Martin Luther King and compare him to a juror from 12 angry men, i need to talk about how they went against the status quo successfully. I thought of Juror #8 at first, but I kind of had difficulties. Then, I considered The Foreman or Juror #1, but he didn't really "go against the status-qou" so I'm stuck....

Can I use a bass amp with a metal distortion pedal and guitar?

Of course you can. Why would you think that you can't? There's no significant difference electrically between a bass and a guitar.

Jury duty...is this normal? or unusual?

I'm 22 & just got a letter in the mail asking me to fill out a form stating if I was available or not for jury duty in July on a Thursday. This is the first time I have ever been called for jury duty so I don't really know how this works. I checked off that yes, I would be available. The asked some other questions (I can't really remember what mostly just occupation? for which I put student because I just graduated college, don't have a job yet & am started law school this September, and something like are you physically and mentally able to be a juror? for which i said Yes, and more of those types of questions). I mailed it back the same day. Now, a couple of days later I get a letter saying I have been excused and do not need to show up. Is this a misunderstanding in that they think I won't be available? I don't want to get in trouble later down the road because they thought I said I wasn't available when I was...should I call them and tell them I'm available or is this something normal? Thanks.

Can a bigger amperage than tolerated burn/ short circuit a device?

yes a larger amount of current (amperage) can cause a device to burn out. The higher current damages sensitive Integrated circuits and cause the device to malfunction. My recommendation is to always check both the volts AND amperage before you use a power adaptor other than the one the manufacture recommends. Also any time the light goes out there si a reason try to find that out before you plug it in again. you might have done permanent damge to your pedal.

What do you think of this passage?

"I will tell you a pleasant tale which has in it a touch of pathos. A man got religion, and asked the priest what he must do to be worthy of his new estate. The priest said, "Imitate our Father in Heaven, learn to be like him." The man studied his Bible diligently and thoroughly and understandingly, and then with prayers for heavenly guidance instituted his imitations. He tricked his wife into falling downstairs, and she broke her back and became a paralytic for life; he betrayed his brother into the hands of a sharper, who robbed him of his all and landed him in the almshouse; he inoculated one son with hookworms, another with the sleeping sickness, another with gonorrhea; he furnished one daughter with scarlet fever and ushered her into her teens deaf, dumb, and blind for life; and after helping a rascal seduce the remaining one, he closed his doors against her and she died in a brothel cursing him. Then he reported to the priest, who said that that was no way to imitate his Father in Heaven. The convert asked wherein he had failed, but the priest changed the subject and inquired what kind of weather he was having, up his way." --- Mark Twain, Letters From the Earth

Wouldn't it be amazing if Nancy Pelosi were soon restored to Speaker of the House?

What would be amazing would be if Pelosi was brought up on charges of treason for her crimes against the Constitution!
