Q:I recently married in jail. I am out, he is in Cochran state prison and I need a specific banking P.O.A . form notarized by him so I can cash his tax refund check. Where is this banking P.O.A form?

You can find a California financial power of attorney form online or at your local office supply store.

Q:I think my father who passed away in February may have had a bank account in South Carolina. I am not sure if he did or not. I know that if he did it would have to go through probate. My question is does it have to go through probate just to find out if he even had a bank account or not?? The bank account May be based out of a bank in South Carolina and I live in Michigan. What are the steps that I need to go through in order to find out if a bank account does actually exist.

If you are just going on speculation and don't have any info as far as what bank, you should start with hiring a forensic accountant to research it. If you have a will naming you as the executor and a death certificate, probate should be handled in his home state. Hope this helps.

Q:Does anyone know what is the best ford year model to get, if I want to add 150hp on it? I heard about chips and after market parts, but I also heard you can still blow up the 6.0L engine or mess it up real bad, and the transmition will not last. Can anyone help me? What do you think is the best way to gain the extra power safely, where my engine and transmition will not fall apart in only two years. Also, I will not switch to any other truck maker.

Can you wait a month? You'll like the new 2008 with the 6.4. The twin turbo is a hoss and they've upgraded the interiors and have some new options with it like navigation and the rear step to get in the bed.

Q:I see many computer UPS out in the market, but do UPS meant for whole houses exist? I live in a small town, and we have brownouts often, lasting for a split second up to 20 seconds at a time. A lot of our electronics get messed up 'coz of this. We also have a back-up generator. Is there a way to connect the generator to the UPS so that if we get a blackout lasting for hours at a time, we have time to turn on the generator without power dying.

Sure.

Q:I know that Israel had been choking off supplies, but I thought Gaza and the West Bank were semi-autonomous by now. I mean, they've elected their own local governments. To call Israel an occupying power seems a bit outdated to me.

What many people don't understand is that there was no Israel before the winning powers created it after world war 2. Now it was all well and good to give the Jews a home, but there were already people living in what is now Israel. The Palestinians where forced from Israel, or expected to recognize Israel superiority. What Israel has done to palestinians is no different than what the US did to the native Americans. So if you ask me, Israel is occupying what used to be Palestinian land.

Q:How to maintain mobile power?

(1) Do not charge for a long time after being fully charged (this is not very important, because the regular charger or on the computer charging is intelligent, full stop), especially with the so-called universal charger or poor quality charger

Q:I am setting up my mobile home with only 12 Volt devices. Could everyone look around their home and let me know what devices they have that are 12 Volt DC powered. As I shop for devices I will only shop from this list.For example, my cell phone is a LG -TMS20, with a LG fast charger model DC-45W which requires 12 Volt input at 0.3A 3.6W.If I use this in my mobile home, I can run it straight off the battery, and I don't need 110Volts AC.I will be making a list of every device you can find which runs off 12 Volts DC. I am looking for computer stuff, and sterio stuff.Thanks for your time

Not so many devices these days actually run directly on 12Vdc - usually they run on 5, 6, 7, 9, etc., Vdc. Rather than restrict yourself to only 12 Volt devices, how about investing in some good quality power Inverters that convert 12Vdc power sources to 110 VAC. Now all those gadgets that use 110 VAC input to convert down to 5, 6, 9, 12, 14, etc Vdc will work off of a single (or multiple) Inverters. Your wind generators, solar panels charge your 12V power bank and your 12Vdc to 110Vac Inverters power everything else in the house.

Q:I'm doing a project for Civics, and I have to present the case McCulloch vs Maryland (even though I did all the work for Korematsu vs US) because my partners don't understand it. i get the case, but I think some of my info's wrong. The most important thing I need to know is, how was the Second National Bank going to help the economy? What does a national bank do that could help the economy? Thx!

First and foremost, banks are essential to a successful money economy.

Q:I see in Article 1 Section 8 that they have the power to coin money and establish value thereof. I would assume that would include bills of credit as well until I read Article 1 Section 10. It denies the states the power to coin money and it also denies them the power to emit bills of credit. So it has made it very clear that coin money and emit bills of credit are different powers of government. But wait, where does it say that bills of credit can NOT be emitted by the Federal Government? O shoot the 10th amendment forbids the Federal Government from taking any action that is not authorized by the Constitution and its Amendments.Now I understand that the Supreme Court does not interpret it like this. They did at first with Hepburn v. Griswold but that was overturned by Knox v. LeeWhat do you think?

The federal government has rarely used its power to establish the value of money. Throughout most of our history, they've turned that duty over to a central bank that wasn't answerable to the people. At least in the past they put a time limit on the bank's charter, unlike the Federal Reserve Act which places no expiration date on their charter. I don't know of any part of the Constitution that authorizes Congress to establish an independent central bank to control our currency.
