Hi there,
We are a whitewater rafting resort in the Fraser Canyon, BC, Canada. We operate in Boston Bar, Lytton, Spences Bridge and Hope BC. I noticed that you have other rafting company links on these pages. Could you please let me know how we can get a link here as well. Our website is www.reorafting.com. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mark Bond General Manager REO Rafting Resort —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.68.192.71 ( talk) 00:55, 6 March 2007 (UTC).
I found this coin on eBay, and the seller doesn't know what it is. Do any of you have an idea? Thanks!! Reywas92 Talk 01:00, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
If you can't identify it, I wouldn't pay any more than the value of the silver, unless you think it has decorative value. StuRat 14:02, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Okay this is gonna sound really odd and creepy if I don't give you some background. I'm a writer and I've got some rebels taking over NYC. they have set up the Empire State Building (ESB) as a base of operations. Now the idea is the army is trying to get in. I need t know if the windows on the ESB are thicker than 100mm-120mm thick (the thickness of bullet proof glass). The article on the ESB within Wikipedia doesn't say. Anyone that knows can help me out thanks. On the alternative, anyone who knows how (if there is a way) to turn regular glass into bulletproof please tell me. Thanks. Ianhrrngtn 02:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
How about if they just pile up sand bags in front of the windows of the room they use as their command center ? That would be far less expensive and would take minutes instead of weeks. StuRat 13:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
If the glass was just bulletproof they would probably just get tanks to shoot it, so you would need glass like they have at zoos to keep tigers in, but then they would just blow it up, which they might do to start with as I doubt the army would mess around trying to smash doors and shoot through windows when people are threatening the entire city :) Hidden secret 7 15:03, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
1- I didn't say they were bad guys did I. 2- for everyone else thats actually trying to help thanks. 3- As for the people suggesting blowing it up, I've talked to people in the army (high school recruiter's) and they can pretty much guarantee me that the U.S. military would never blow up a U.S. building. Thanks to all, I'll have to find a way around it. If anyone has any suggestions that still allow the rebels to see through the windows, please post them. Thanks once again. And before I get a bunch of posts from hicks & rednecks that go on and on about how I have no respect for the army and the like. I'm just gonna say this, Whatever your views are upon revolution, I DON'T CARE! I have my own and could care less about yours. All I'm looking for are facts. I don't care about what you think. Anyone that can provide me with the facts, I will show you nothing but gratitude. For those who wish to insult me, BURN IN HELL FOR ALL I CARE! Thanks. Ianhrrngtn 03:02, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you. finally someone who wants to help. Ianhrrngtn 00:07, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
I want to help, I just don't know anything :] HS7 20:08, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Dude you are awesome! That is perfect! Thanks! Ianhrrngtn 03:45, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
What type of karate is in the movie Karate Kid? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.191.114.194 ( talk) 04:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC).
I'm not stupid. There are different types of karate.
can't remember where but i read that the ralph (cherry sounding surname) who played the 'kid' was taught how to fight (for the movie) by an instructor in Tae Kwon do. The 'no can defend' kick used in the last fight, is an TKD exchange front snap-kick. Perry Mankster
I'd like to furnish my new apartment with some classical art and I see that the creative commons has some pretty high quality images (2000px square on average). However, the quick research that I did suggested that 300dpi is necessary, which would limit to me fairly small printings. Is 300dpi required or could I double the size to 150dpi without really noticing? I have no background in printing things. -- Brad Beattie (talk) 06:02, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
hello, how can one start a television channel , how can one get the idea from, is there any books regarding that which show the correct way how to start one? tahnkyou —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Johnsoncecil ( talk • contribs) 12:22, 6 March 2007 (UTC).
Of course, you can get a program on TV without creating your own channel. The easiest way, at least in the US, is to use public access television channels. Another option is to pay an existing network to run your show(s), as in an infomercial. Many religious shows do this. StuRat 13:48, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Quote: "If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the past 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers. The firearm death rate in Washington DC is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period. That means you are about 25 per cent more likely to be shot and killed in the US capital, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the US, than you are in Iraq. "Conclusion? The US should pull out of Washington."
My question is - can this frightening statement possibly be true?
There seems to be a serious math error. When I divide 2112 by 160,000, then multiply by 100,000, I get 1320 per 100,000, or 16.5 times more than 80 per 100,000. StuRat 13:40, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
You can do anything with statistics, for example Vatican City has the worlds highest per capita crime rate :) Hidden secret 7 14:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
But washington probably has very few gun deaths compared to places like NYC and LA, which then might be worse than Iraq even without the apparent mistakes mentionaed above :) Hidden secret 7 14:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
But even if it is wrong it is still a lot of deaths :( I don't think anyone has been shot in the whole of West Thanet for as long as I can remember :) HS7 17:00, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
And he's clearly ignoring all non-coalition deaths. Which is ridiculous. That'd be like ignoring all non-police deaths in DC, which would reduce this city's statistic down to probably a fraction of a person per month. 70.108.199.130 05:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Is that bombs in Iraq or washington :] And if not washington, is there anywhere with more deaths than Iraq :? HS7 12:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I heard this old Lionel Richie song on the radio and, listening to the lyrics, couldn't work out what he was going on about. It's a bit of a ramble. There's a frankly rather bland ("awesome") dream, something about friends being great, some motivational claptrap about how wonderful I am (thanks Lionel) all hung together with a nice melody and a startling musical interlude in the middle, in the fashion of A Day in the Life, only it's not very good. Can anyone help explain what the song's about? -- Dweller 13:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
"...playing games in the dark And what they played was a masquerade And from behind of walls of doubt a voice was crying out..."
"...Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two A helping hand - some one who understands That when you feel you've lost your way You've got some one there to say 'I'll show you'."
Cor. The words preceeding "playing games in the dark" are "people in the park". So you think it's about al-fresco sex? That's a bit risqué for Lionel Rich tea. -- Dweller 15:53, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks chaps. -- Dweller 12:41, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Guys, I think it's
'... people in the park, playing games in the dark...'

US News and World Report has a classification of schools called "Comprehensive Colleges," and some wikipedia articles, such as Elizabethtown College, classify schools as "comprehensive college[s]." However, I can't find any definition for "comprehensive college." What is a comprehensive college, and why is it different from a liberal arts college? Jolb 13:46, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
At school comprehension was to do with understanding stuff, so it probably has nothing to do with that now :( Hidden secret 7 14:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
There is apparently a tribute to Abba played by metal bands, hence abba played in a metal style. Much like the Tribute to the Beast: Tribute to Iron Maiden or Nativity in Black Tribute to Black Sabbath. What was the name of this album? Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.144.161.223 ( talk) 13:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC).
...that one of the victoms of convicted Balcony Rapist Paul Callow was awarded damages of $220,000 against the Toronto police force because failed to warn women in her neighbourhood after four earlier rapes?
Is a quote from the title page of WIKIPEDIA, now while being a avid and regular reader of wiki, this needs to be addressed!...VICToMS?...because failed?...women in her...? Please people some one help this is accuattly physically painful! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.144.161.223 ( talk) 14:15, 6 March 2007 (UTC).
Thanks, greatly appreciated.
So what does 'accuattly' mean then :] Hidden secret 7 14:54, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
This probably isn't what the reference desk is for, but I can't think of anyone else to ask. A few weeks ago I applied to go to university at Portsmouth, but a bit later than they wanted. So now I have two replies, asking me to go to their open days, but they haven't told me anything about the open day for the third subject, the one I really want to do(architecture), and I now doubt I will find out about it until after the open days have finished. What can I do about this? Also can anyone give me any idea of the quickest way from Thanet to Portsmouth, since the obvious route goes past London so there will be a lot of traffic, and apparently it will take four hours. And is there anywhere better that I could go to for advice or information (The university website isn't very good.) And finally can anyone tell me if it is worth going to the open day there, or weather I could find out everything I need to know somewhere else. Hidden secret 7 14:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
What is the differance between Hylozoism and Anamism? Thanks
THe spelling, pronounciation, number of letters, number of sylables, &c, I think you should be more specific about exactly what you want :] HS7 16:08, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Okay, anamism is the belief that everything has a soul and is alive. Hylozoism is the belief that all matter has life. so, whats the differance, there must be one in order for there to be two words surely?
Have you read Hylozoism#Distinction from cognate doctrines? Algebraist 16:29, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
If bullying and sexual discrimination occurs, what can be done? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Seraphim Whipp ( talk • contribs) 19:11, 6 March 2007 (UTC).
The range of remedies goes from reprimands or suspensions (at work or school), to expulsion (school) or termination (work), and restraining orders and criminal prosecution. Personally, I think an individual who refuses to stop should be expelled from school and fired (for discrimination) or prosecuted (for bullying) if the behavior occurs outside of school. StuRat 11:30, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Rhode Island is small, right? Is it so small that one could walk the ENTIRE width of its perimeter in a day? (either just the western half or is there a conveniently placed ferry across mount hope bay?) Duomillia 21:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
that word wasn't necessary, please erase it
DISTANCE! I mistyped in my original post... ;) so what I'm hearing is that the answer is no... Duomillia 23:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Why Rohode island? Why not walk around a smaller area, or just walk until you want to stop, instead of basing your journey on arbitrary borders :]

Would you like to buy prints of my photographs at URL removed ? And if not then why ?
(This is not an advertisement, its a question)
-- helohe (talk) 22:36, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
No! It's a blatant advert! And because that's not allowed, I've deleted the URL from your question. SteveBaker 00:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
They were nice pictures. Well composed and all. Nice, calming subject matter. Not stellar, but pretty solid. I just don't spend money on photos. And you might want to consider making it more difficult for people to copy the pictures off of that website. All anybody has to do to steal your work is right click it and select "copy." I suppose that's just the site you're using, though, and you're selling prints anyway.
I attend a private university in America.. as it stands I'll have over $80,000 in non-subsidized debt upon graduation. My parents are exasperated by my inability to find scholarships, but absolutely no scholarship I can find fits me. I'm a white male with fairly wealthy parents (unfortunately unwilling to foot my universtiy bill, but the FAFSA said their 'expected contribution' is more than $500,000) with a 3.6 high school GPA and something like a 3.4 college GPA so far. I'm a sort of antisocial geek who has never done a thing for my "community". I look at a page of online scholarship search results and see that scholarship after scholarship requires something I don't have- have to be black, have to be a woman, have to be scientologist, have to be latino, have to be an artist, have to travel abroad, have to join the army, etc etc. It's very discouraging to go through thousands of scholarships that I'm not qualified for. I've looked for local scholarships and there are none. How did others here pay for college? How did you find scholarships? This mounting debt is frankly terrifying. -- froth T 22:48, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
@ 2007-03-06T23:10Z
You need to transfer to a state school. You will not find any scholarships to cover your high costs, or even a partial piece of the amount that would matter. Few schools are worth so much debt. 66.91.225.188 02:04, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Another option is to go to a college with a work-study program. I went to one where I worked 3 months, then went to college for 3 months, in alternating terms. This schedule assures that work won't interfere with studying. The work just about paid for college, and provided me with work experience in my field (computers), which heped fill out my resume. I also was offered permanent employment by my work-study company at a good salary, but turned them down because I didn't like the corporate culture, which I would describe as fascist (this was EDS under Ross Perot). I believe I ended up borrowing $5,000 to pay for college. I went to Kettering University, then called GMI Engineering & Management Institute. Because you only attend 6 months of the year, it normally takes 5 years instead of 4 to earn a bachelor's degree there. StuRat 11:06, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
That sounds like a lot of money, much more than I am expecting to spend at university :) What did you do to end up owing so much :? HS7 19:33, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
I also have a question with the same topic: Is it possible for swiss people to get a scholarship to study in england (mathematics and physics) maybe in Cambridge or Oxford, ... -- helohe (talk) 22:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

No! It's a blatant advert! And because that's not allowed, I've deleted the URL from your question. SteveBaker 00:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
They were nice pictures. Well composed and all. Nice, calming subject matter. Not stellar, but pretty solid. I just don't spend money on photos. And you might want to consider making it more difficult for people to copy the pictures off of that website. All anybody has to do to steal your work is right click it and select "copy." I suppose that's just the site you're using, though, and you're selling prints anyway.
I attend a private university in America.. as it stands I'll have over $80,000 in non-subsidized debt upon graduation. My parents are exasperated by my inability to find scholarships, but absolutely no scholarship I can find fits me. I'm a white male with fairly wealthy parents (unfortunately unwilling to foot my universtiy bill, but the FAFSA said their 'expected contribution' is more than $500,000) with a 3.6 high school GPA and something like a 3.4 college GPA so far. I'm a sort of antisocial geek who has never done a thing for my "community". I look at a page of online scholarship search results and see that scholarship after scholarship requires something I don't have- have to be black, have to be a woman, have to be scientologist, have to be latino, have to be an artist, have to travel abroad, have to join the army, etc etc. It's very discouraging to go through thousands of scholarships that I'm not qualified for. I've looked for local scholarships and there are none. How did others here pay for college? How did you find scholarships? This mounting debt is frankly terrifying. -- froth T 22:48, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

You need to transfer to a state school. You will not find any scholarships to cover your high costs, or even a partial piece of the amount that would matter. Few schools are worth so much debt. 66.91.225.188 02:04, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Another option is to go to a college with a work-study program. I went to one where I worked 3 months, then went to college for 3 months, in alternating terms. This schedule assures that work won't interfere with studying. The work just about paid for college, and provided me with work experience in my field (computers), which heped fill out my resume. I also was offered permanent employment by my work-study company at a good salary, but turned them down because I didn't like the corporate culture, which I would describe as fascist (this was EDS under Ross Perot). I believe I ended up borrowing $5,000 to pay for college. I went to Kettering University, then called GMI Engineering & Management Institute. Because you only attend 6 months of the year, it normally takes 5 years instead of 4 to earn a bachelor's degree there. StuRat 11:06, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
That sounds like a lot of money, much more than I am expecting to spend at university :) What did you do to end up owing so much :? HS7 19:33, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
I also have a question with the same topic: Is it possible for swiss people to get a scholarship to study in england (mathematics and physics) maybe in Cambridge or Oxford, ... -- helohe (talk) 22:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
