You know that one commercial for Citibank where the guy's rummaging through the garbage looking for his credit card bill so he doesn't have to pay late fees?

What is the highest elevation a person can live without having breathing problems?
A mountaineer can acclimatize and stay at around 7000 metres/22967 feet for weeks. Beyond that height the Death Zone (where the body is wasting away) begins. The HIGHEST CONTINUOUSLY INHABITED SPOT ON PLANET EARTH is BANA POST,the top of a 22000 feet peak in the Siachen Glacier. Soldiers posted there are rotated out after a month or so.They are not on oxygen.

Rose Hills Memorial Park -- jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 05:31, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
The girlfriend of Tony Kanal (from the band No Doubt)has a girlfriend named Erin (Michelle) Lokitz. The only information I know about her is that she starred in a movie called 'The Graveyard', was a ballerina for several years, and was featured in the British comedy 'Coupling'. Apparently she was raised in California (around Agoura Hills and Calabasas) with Hoobastank and Incubus (both have thanked her in album booklets). What is some generic biographical about her (age, date of birth, how she and Tony got together, what is she currently working on, etc).
As for an appearance in "Coupling", I was a fan of that show and if she appeared I certainly can't recall her face (which you can see if you search the IMDB for her name). -- Robert Merkel 06:44, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi there,
I'm writing a novel about the Naxalite threat in India. In the beginning, a father with two teenagers abandons his miltary post in the United States and takes up volunteer work as a travelling officer with a group of Kalbeliya (low caste) people so as to protect them from the Naxalites while on the search for a mysterious relic. How realistic is this? Is there anything about this scenario that I should change for accuracy's sake?
~Stephanie Sleuth
HIGHLY UNREALISTIC.What is the nationality of the do-gooder? If he's not an Indian from that area (undefined?) he will land in the local chokey (which is the brit version of the Hindi 'chowki', meaning police outpost). The hypothetical Kalbeliyas are unlikely to be under Naxal threat because they are, presumably, neither wealthy not police informers. Having your protagonist tag along with them would be a surefire formula for attracting Naxal attention. And I do not understand this idea of one man 'protecting' the Kalbeliyas (do they exist?): Naxal territory is not exactly celluloid Rambo/Arnie terrain.The likeliest outcome for the protector would be to be bumped off with the willing assistance of the protectees ; I think choky and deportation would be preferable for him.

Which is better a Nintendo DS or a PlayStationPortable? (which are totally contradictory)
For over a year now, at times my eye (usually my right, but sometimes both), itches immensely. At first I thought it was allergies (although I've never had allergies) cos I had just moved to California. But it has continued no matter what state/country I am in. It is not constant. But maybe once in a few weeks, I'll scratch my eye briefly because I felt an itch (yes, that fueled it even more), but it would sometimes go on for over 24 hrs... after sleep and a shower... still there. Usually after 48hrs, it's gone.
What could be causing this?
No, I don't wear contacts. It usually occurs if I'm trying to wipe something out of my eye. In the past, when I've had to brush soap or whatever it may be (if I'm showering), away... the itch has never stayed. But now, if I even touch my eye briefly, an itch lingers.

Dear Wikipedia,
I have tried to find out what the most read genres of books are? I went to Barnes & Noble, to Borders and to the Dallas Library and couldn't get a concise answer. "We really don't know," was the answer.
I have been on the internet browsing on tons of sites. The result: One Canadian site gave me good information about the situation in Canada (32Million) with differences between the English and French speaking (Quebec) audiences. Unfortunately that does not help me any because it isn't necessarly relevant to the American (297 Million) audiences.
Why I ask? I am in the process of writing a memoir (almost done) about real life business ocurrences in Latin America, pioneering the early cellular systems in the 1980s to telecommunications agencies and other. There are a lot of intricate (but understandable) business situations that vary completely from country to country.
The memoir has a fairly large content of religion (working with God to get guidance - by any religious denomination) and show how I used the powers of the mind to overcome obstacles and attain my goals.
It is a series of narratives in dialog form of many peculiar (interesting) incidents, where I often had to make on-the spot decisions and take action.
I provide a lot of my experience know-how to inspire people in how to go after business and/or anything we want.
So having explained this, my question is, how shall I market my book? What genre? What would be the most popular genre in which to market my book?
The reason for all of this is that the person in charge of the writers critique group i belong to, told me I need to make a market analysis to find out what genre to select.
It is definitely a memoir, but what kind?
Memoir on business development? Religious memoir? Inspirational memoir? Personal self-development? Know-How? Other? Non-fiction novel?
The memoir really covers all of this. But which is the most popular one here in the USA?
(And which one in countries in Latin America? I'm fully fluent in Spanish and plan to translate to that language.)
I realize I'm asking for a lot and can only hope you can give me some guidance.
Thanks and Best regards,
Lennart Wingardh
It sounds like you could market it in all of those genres. The United States is such a market that you might want to adapt the marketing strategy to meet the demographic profiles of particular areas. A religious memoir might do well in areas where belief in traditional religion is strong for example the Bible Belt. However, in areas such as San Francisco and Manhattan it might work better as an inspirational memoir. You might also want to put this question on Google Answers and to ask an expert on literary marketing. Capitalistroadster 06:12, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Dear Mr Wingardh: The most popular genre, would have to include the most popular sellers. The Bible outsells, outdirstubules and outreads ever other known book, that its only included as an afterthought in the Guiness Book of World Records. Obivously the most popular genre of the printed word is Religion. How popular was 'The Celestine prophecy?' Artoftransformation 23:49, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Actually I would like to see figures on that. The Bible as bestseller is well known and most people would consider it a special case. However I would like to suggest that Romance Novels are probably the bestselling genre. Mills and Boon (UK) and Harlequin (US, a publisher for which we unbelievably seem to have no article) turn out enormous numbers of books. Some people buy several of these a month; not many people will buy a Bible a month (though they might be better off if they did). I can't back that guess with figures though. Anyone?

Edward Robert Hughes Born Nov 5 1849,London,England. Died Apr 23 1914.
Biography Hughes was a nephew of Arthur Hughes and a studio assistant to William Holman Hunt. He helped Hunt with some of his later work, including the St Paul's version of The Light of the World. Hughes began his career among the Pre-Raphaelites, and like Edward Burne-Jones with whom he was acquainted, he inclined towards Symbolism. However, the majority of Hughes' work, carried out mainly in watercolour/gouache, displays the meticulous observation of nature and minute technique associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
He was engaged to George Macdonald's daughter before she died.

I am trying to locate a country where the individual citizens vote on every single law. Thank you.
Thank you for the quick response. My daughter's teacher, (9th grade in the USA) asked them to locate a country where every law is voted on by each and every citizen. Possibly by referendum? I wa sthinking maybe Luxemberg/Monte Carlo. Any modern day possible suggestions?
I can't think of any country (or part of a country which passes it's own laws - Pitcairn Island doesn't) which does this. Switzerland is probably the closest as they can have a referendum on any law if 50,000 people or 8 cantons say they want it within 100 days of it being passed (see Referendum), but this isn't quite all laws being voted on by all citizens. You could also check Direct democracy. If your daughters teacher is a really strong supporter of states rights & hasn't gotten over the Union victory of the civil war she might mean one of the states that has referrendums on state laws, but I doubt it.

Hi There,
I have a bet running at the moment in regards as to who is worth more, earnt more in there caree out of Mariah Carey and DJ Tiesto. The answer is quite an obvious one but if you have any information or can answer this question it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
"Mariah Carey, who received $US30 million ($A50.48 million) last year to end her contract with the EMI group, ranked number eight on the list."
"DJ Tiesto" was not mentioned on the list of top entertaiment earners. Artoftransformation 15:10, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Dj Tiesto to many is a musical god, but he is only known to only certain crowds. On the other hand, Mariah Carey is world-wide known. And technically DJ Tiesto only makes money through club performances and CDs. Mariah Carey does large concerts, CDs, and advertisings. Club performances do not usually generate as much money as concerts. -- 69.199.106.244 02:18, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Looking at both Television in the United States, and the "television schedule" pages, something is still confusing me. An example from the former is:
prime time begins at 8 p.m. (7 p.m. CST and MST)
If a programme is being aired nationally at 8pm ET, wouldn't that be 6pm MT and 5pm PT? Particularly for the pages on the schedules listing the times as Eastern and Pacific but listing only one time. Chris talk back 03:01, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Why can't more than on person from the same political party run for the same office in an election?
Generally, a country's electoral commission will identify a candidate with a party label only if he or she is officially nominated by that party. A political party will usually want to increase the chance of its candidate being elected by nominating only one candidate for each electoral district. In a "first past the post" system, the candidate who wins the most votes wins. Let's say there are ten voters: four are Conservatives, and six are Liberals. If the Liberal Party nominates two candidates, and each wins votes from three of the six Liberals in the electorate, the Conservative Party candidate would win with four votes. If the Liberal Party nominates only one candidate, he or she would win with six votes.
In some voting systems, more than one member of parliament/congress/legislature may represent an electoral district. In these cases, parties will nominate a candidate for each of the positions available. Ground Zero | t 14:41, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
As mentioned above, it depends on the election. In most major U.S. elections, there is a primary election before the general election to decide which Democrat or Republic will be on the final ballot. This system allows the party to prevent vote-splitting. However, some races use an "open primary" system in which all candidates run together in the primary, and the top two go on to the final round, regardless of party. Under that system, it's possible to have two Democrats or two Republicans on the final ballot. -- Mwalcoff 05:36, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

How are calories removed from food, and what does a calorie look like?
Calories are removed from food either by removing much of a caloric constituent like
starch,
sugar, or
fat. Food can be made with less calories by using substitutes for starch, sugar, or fat ingredients. A calorie is no more visible than a degree of temperature.
alteripse 04:55, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Food becomes reduced calories in diffrent ways, each way involves the removal of part of the food, so it looks similar to the food from which it was removed. Artoftransformation 14:46, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Can mother tongue also mean the langue your mother speaks? Because I read many articles about that and saw both: 1. the language your mother speaks 2. the language a baby learns first
pls n help
T0T0 06:52, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
You guys are all kidding, right? This is a specious distinction for nearly alll of us: 98% of the time the two meanings coincide. The first language a child learns is the one his principal caretaker teaches him in the first 2 years of life. For most human beings in most cultures, the principal caretaker is his mother and she talks to him in infancy in the language with which she is most comfortable. alteripse 10:46, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Scanning the comments here, it appears that everyone assumed mother in mother tongue refers to a parent. It is more likely to be an abbreviated way of saying language of your mother country. It is not common to hear people refer to mother country anymore, but it was very popular during colonial times when people were commonly citizens of one country but living in another. -- Kainaw (talk) 18:02, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Recently there has been a discussion about human pubic hair. Some seemed to believe the remaining hair covering the genitals was caused by sexual selection. I beg to differ.
A man may want a woman with big boobs and fat buttocks (see Venus figurines). But are men also picky about women's labia sizes or pubic hair shapes? As a man, I think the answer is usually no. I mean if this woman comes to me and asks me "Your place or mine?", it would be insane for me to examine the length, size and color of her pubic hair before I make the decision. I just want to f*** her. I don't care if she has a big clit or a small one. Are you going say "Angelina, I can't have sex with you because I hate Brazilian waxing? Come to me with nice looking hair next time."
I think the shapes of human genitals are the least sexually selected anatomical part. A vagina that works is all I need. No, I really don't care if she has puffy lips or not. -- Toytoy 07:49, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

How long is a Tin or aluminium can of beef eatable after production ? What are the storage Limits in Celcius, both Minimum and Maximum temp-C and if so ehat is the danger temp - C for storage that produces fast rotting or decay ? Is canned beef 100 % free from irregulair parts (non animal)
As long as the tine remains unopened, a long time. I have a tin here I bought a few weeks ago with a 'use by' date of February 2009. Tinned food is hermetically sealed. No air = no rotting. I would imagine that the long-term storage lower limit would be 0°C, as a frozen can would split (due to corned beef containing water). Cooked meat should not be re-frozen, so I would advise against eating the corned beaf once it had defrosted. Proto t c 15:34, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Ivy League article states the following:
"All of the Ivy League institutions share some general characteristics: They are among the most prestigious and selective schools in the U.S. They represent seven of the nine colonial colleges founded before the American revolution (the two remaining being the public universities Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and The College of William and Mary);..."
Shouldn't this state the "three remaining being...", since three are listed?
That's two, not three. Rutgers is The State University of New Jersey. So either [1] "The College of William and Mary, and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey" or [2] Rutgers University, and The College of William and Mary would be clearer. An unexpected complication of universities adding advertising slogans to their names and monarchs ruling jointly. Since we have wikimarkup, we can form the links in such a way as to make the sentence clearer than mere punctuation would.

Babies swallow amniotic fluid during intrauterine life before birth. The only problem at delivery comes if during the labor the baby has pooped meconium into the amniotic fluid and then inhales ("aspirates") some of it into the lungs with the first breaths after delivery. Swallowing more of it would cause no trouble. alteripse 21:17, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

"On June 1, 1999, the National Archives released this fascinating set of documents relating to the "sea burial" of the ceremonial casket used to transport President Kennedy's body from Dallas to Washington on the afternoon of November 22, 1963. The casket was dropped into 9000 feet of water off the coast of Maryland from a military helicopter in early 1966."

what is the diference between chicken and pigeon urogenital anatomy?
Pigeon: Large, paired, irregularly lobed kidneys. Ureter opens into cloaca. Male-- Paired testes in upper abdomen. Ductus deferens empty into cloaca. Female-- Right ovary and oviduct become vestigial. Oviduct secretes hormones over eggs. [32] Chicken: The kidney in the chicken is multilobulated with no separation into cortex and medulla. The collecting tubules empty into the ureters which empty directly into the cloaca, a common vestibule into which the digestive and reproductive tracts also empty. No bladder is present. The kidney has a renal portal circulation as described previously. Uric acid is the main nitrogenous waste product excreted in birds. Urine of birds is usually cream coloured and viscous but under certain conditions it may be thin and watery. It is voided at the same time as the faeces and diuresis may give so-called wet droppings.

I've been having a bit of a hard time finding some info about Vanna White. Specifically about the media reports and possible lawsuit (from what I recall) that surrounded her appearance in Playboy magazine. I had thought that she sued the magazine at the time the pictures came out but I can't find anything with various Google searches. Since it was 1987 I thought that maybe there is a bunch of stuff that's not online as newspapers and such may not have had their articles on the web then so I might have to go to one of those library things. :-) So, any ideas where to look on the net or searches to use that would help me out?

Ben-Hur and Spartacus immediately come to mind. Probably two of the greatest epics ever made. The latter is by the fabulous Stanley Kubrick, who was an American, but made most of his films in the UK. William Wyler was the director of Ben-Hur (1959).

Hello, William Ewart Gladstone was well known for felling oak trees as a hobby. I heard a while ago that Donald Rumsfeld also enjoys this hobby (although using a chainsaw) as does another neo-con politician.

In the the movie "The Others" Nicole Kidman finds an album of pictures of people after death that are posed for pictures. This is a book of the dead and my understanding is the photos in the book in the movie are real. I find these photos very interesting. Is there a book or website out there that displays these?
Several books of formal funeral pictures have been published. At different times and places, it was the custom to take a formal photo after death. One of the stranger and more poignant was entitled if I remember correctly, Wisconsin Death Trip or something like that: all the photos were from old 19th century glass plates. In a bookstore I have also seen a book of death photos by a big city police and news photographer: many were crime scene or autopsy. The books are usually categorized as photography books in book stores and you could try searching the usual online used book sources. However, if you are more of a movie person and want a specific book from a specific movie, I can't help you. alteripse 18:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Please could you help me find footage/photographs/information/write-ups (basically anything really) on Judo championships from around the years 1964-1991? The reason i ask is that i'm trying to trace any of the above which contain information/photographs of my very good friend, Mr Alan Konderla, as a surprise. He was born in South Wales, Great Britain, in February 1951 and he stopped competing in 1991. I know he has taken part in competitions in Denmark, Sweden, North Wales, South Africa, and many other countries although when and where exactly these contests were, i have no idea. I know that SOMETHING exists with him in because both he and his mother have spoken of watching his matches on televisions in their hotels. I've trawled many internet search engines and exhausted searches on loads of television channel websites from these countries but to no avail so maybe i'm going about this the wrong way (or possibly looking in completely the wrong place!!) Therefore, if anyone can help me, or simply point me towards a more hopeful destination, i would be extremely grateful !! Many thanks, 86.135.117.146 19:54, 14 November 2005 (UTC)karen

Hello: Sir/Maa'm On October 18th I signed some documents with the Army National Guards stating that I will contract with them for 2 years reserve and 6 years active duty. My question is that since I was not told of all the facts before hand and was rushed into this whole process of signing. After becoming aware of some facts I do not agree on doing am I still liable for complying with this contract or am too late to back out?
I've talked to a friend of mine who said that he signed also the same documents with the marines, but before his time for basic training was up; he told them he did not want to do it afterwards and he never showed up to boot-camp. He said he did again one more time and end up not going to basic training and he never had any problems with his criminal record as being "Other than Honorable Discharge". He said they (the military, whatever branch is) is not suppossed to assume that you are part of their branch until you signed a second set of papers just before getting to basic training.
Is this correct? If not, could you tell me what exactly are the consequences for signing these papers the very first time and end up not going thru the whole process. See my case is the one like I believe very many have taken place before, I was attracted to the Army national guards because the recruiter told me I only was required to show up a weekend every month for drilling and that I was going to get paid about $190.00 every month for doing that and on top of that my tuition and fees were going to be paid in full for 36 months. However, I was not told that after going thru basic training you become immediately activated and can go to war(Irak) any time after. My basic training is scheduled for May the 29th. Am I still on time to back out and let them know I am not interested anymore without taking any chances of comprimising my criminal record?
I talked to the recruiter about this and he said; "if anybody is to backed out after signing those papers things like this could happen 1) that person can get arrested and put in prison 2) he/she can get a felony on his/her criminal record for failing to comply with contract 3) he/she can get a dishonorable discharge.
I did some research on the internet and found out that when someone signs the very first set of papers before basic training that person is under what they call DEP Delayed Enlistment Program and that yes anybody can back out of their agreement but the writer explains that a "Other than Honorable Discharge" could be placed in that person's record.
Who is right? that writer from the Internet or my friend? I sure do not feel obligated to comply with something I was not told with all the facts, pro's and con's.
I would appreciate if someone has an answer for this and let me know of all the things that could or could not happen in case I do not want to proceed with this.
For your help and time to in keeping people like me informed, I truly appreciate you guys!

Traditionally, the unicorn was used as a symbol for Scotland, as a corrolary to the English lion (which still crops up occasionally). This was derived from the Royal Coat of Arms of Scotland - the "supporters", animals on each side of the shield, were unicorns. It's not clear when this came into use - our page suggests the twelfth century. Does anyone have any idea why unicorns, specifically?

Tax cuts are supposed to stimulate the economy. What I don't understand is "what is the difference if the money is spent by the consumers on televisions, home improvements and such or retained by the government and spend on roads, military equipment, FAA traffic control towers?" In either case, the money is spent and according to the commonplace explanations, spending the money will create jobs and the money from those jobs will produce more spending and so on. So why are tax cuts reported by the government and the media considered economic stimulus? Its all the same. I do not understand this.
Aime Casavant
I agree with Taxman's answer, but there is a simpler, alternative answer. Aime assumes that the level of government spending is linked directly to the level of tax revenues. In the short run, it is not. A government can borrow to finance tax cuts while maintaining its level of spending. In the short run, then, tax cuts alone are stimulative because people have more money to spend. There is no offsetting reduction in total spending if the government does not cut its spending to finance the tax cuts. Over the longer term, however, a government's ability to borrow may be impaired if its debt levels rise too high, and it may have to cut its spending to reflect reduced tax revenues. And here's where we get into Taxman's answer. Ground Zero | t 16:06, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

I use a ThermalTake Tsunami Dream case for my computer. The fans in the case keep making some strange sort of noise. I can't explain it very well, but it sounds like some object is hitting against the blades, or the blades are briefly stopping during rotation. I don't understand at all where this is coming from. Opening up the case stops the noise, and when I inspect the innards, there seems to be nothing whatsoever that could move anywhere near the fan blades. As long as the case is open, the noise is gone. Putting the side panel back and screwing it in place causes the noise to reappear. And there's more: tilting the case to its side, either left-right or front-back, stops the noise. The noise reappears when the case is put back horizontally. Lifting the case in the air doesn't help, so it can't be resonation from my table or anything.

Does anyone out there know the name of a Lifetime tv movie that deals with rape. The story goes like this as much as I can remember. This lady is a business executive and starts to have mental problems and starts to get in trouble with the law. She starts to remember her past. She remembers as a little girl her Mother taking her to the babysitter's house while she went to work. They were a man and woman farmers. He would raped her and then the wife would give her a bath to clean her up before the Mother picked her up after work. While being raped and molested in her brain to combat the ordeal she would make up poetry.
That is about all the I remember about the movie on tv. It has been some time since I saw it so it is most vague in my mind at the moment.

Seas: some are the Mediterranean, the North Sea, the Irish Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Adriatic Sea (sort of an arm of the Mediterrranean), the Tyrhennian Sea (Mediterranean arm, I think that's the right spelling, but maybe not), the Aegean Sea (another arm), the Black Sea, the English Channel doesn't have "sea" in the name but I think it counts.
Rivers: some are the Volga, the Danube, the Rhine, the Ruhr, the Rhone, the Loire, the Don, the Thames, the Shannon, the Severn, the Humber, the Ouse, the Mersey, the Tyne, the Neva, the Po.
Lakes: The Caspian Sea is despite its name the largest lake in the world, Lake Geneva, Loch Ness, Loch Lomond, Lough Neagh.

Europe's highest point is Mount Elbrus in Russia, in the Caucasus Mountains. The highest point in Europe other than Russia (which is mostly in Asia) is Mont Blanc on the border of France and Italy, in the Alps.
Deserts: To the best of my knowledge, Europe's only desert is Almeria in Spain. Greece might have desert too, though.

Can anyone please tell me how many autos were produced in the US last year or the most recent year for whichj statistics are available? I am not simply thinking of the Big Three (GM, Ford, DaimlerChrysler) but also the fairly recent newcomers such as auto producers from Japan, Germany and South Korea such as Toyota, BMW and Hyundai.
Can anyone help, please? I really would be grateful.

A Wikipedia user has posted this on the Help desk mailing list and I am posting it here to see if anyone can help this gentleman.
I linked to your site from the Conrail Cyclopedia site. I don't know if you can help me but I'll try any way.
First off: My quest has nothing whatever to do with model railroading! I'm looking into the way the railroads ordered stuff back at the turn of the century(1900s).
As an example, If it was decided by the "powers that be" to run a telegraph/signal line from one town (station) to another I've been told by an old time railroader that the "STORES DEPARTMENTS" were the ones that supplied the required materials (i.e.. poles, wire, insulators, signaling devices, telegraph stuff, etc.). He further told me that they would consult a source known as the "Maintenance of Way Cyclopedia" that told them what was available and where to order it. He further told me that the cyclopedia was used by different rail lines and was not unique to any one line.
Now, I'm trying to find a copy of this "Maintenance of Way Cyclopedia" to look at. I want to see who they would order the supplies from. I know that this is a crazy request to a fellow such as yourself who seems to be more involved with rolling stock. Would you have any suggestions as to where I might locate this resource? I've tried the Smithsonian, various libraries and many rail fan sites with no success.
I'd appreciate any info you can provide. By the way, I'm not a school kid doing a term paper. I'm a 76 year old retired telephone engineer who's father put 40 years into the Santa Fe as fireman, brakeman, electrician, and a few more jobs. He brought power into the Dallas/Ft Worth yards when they opened up. I'm just doing a little personal research.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks for any help you can give him.

I have just acquired a standard definition digital set top box, and occasionally (couple of times an hour) the TV screen (rear projection) flickers. The flickering always occurs when there is a change in scene (eg changing from an ad break to a TV show, or changing scenes in a movie). The reception (from an external aerial) is excellent and the flickering occurs on all channels, so I'm not convinced that is the problem. Could the problem be the set top box or the TV?

hey its ♥Hot F.L.I.P. again...i was just curious, the poeple who answers my questions here in wikipedia, are they often correct?, i mean like do they base it on facts that they actually learned about, or are they just saying what they think? , also, since anyone can answer my question on this site (young or old), does that mean that the dumbest person on the planet can just comment on my question and say something like, "trust me, i know lots about this subject, my dad was a doctor"... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.42.91.228 ( talk • contribs)
Well i guess you can't blame other people for putting down what sometimes seems to be a dumb ass answer, i mean c'mon...it is kinda fun just playing around and typing down what you think and putting down not so smart answers just for the fun of arguing with other people...anywayz..." ♥Hot F.L.I.P." means, which some of you might know (or not), but it means F(ine) L(ittle) I(sland) P(erson)...the original version was Fucking Little Island People, used by white peope in world war 2 (i think), insulting the filipinos...but of course we have revised this through time...I know my history because my dad is a professor at Harvard University!...Well anyways, i guess i'll just have to hope that people who answer my questions will actually have many rescources to back it up...hope you guys will answer any of MY questions intelligently in the near future...Also thanks "commander keane" for so far answering each of my questions that i have posted ♥Hot F.L.I.P.

Back to the question, which is a very valid one. The main thing, I suppose, is 'who would be bothered to give answers'? Not someone who hasn't a clue. That sort of vandalism is much more 'thrilling' in Wikipedia proper (the encyclopedia). Except of course when that person is curious too and manages to find the answer (or thinks he did). I do that sometimes. Most of the time, though, I tell what I know from the top of my head (and sometimes I don't answer but ask more questions). And sometimes someone (sometimes even me) is a genuine expert on the subject. And in my experience that shows. As with every information you get in life, you'll have to be able to sniff out the bullshit. Where else can you get reliable tailor made information? And for free? (this is not strictly meant as rhetorical question).

Well "DirkvdM"...don't worry about it, your name doesn't sound that lame...anyhow...like you yeltensic, i am also very nooosy! so i was just wondering, not to offend you or anything, but are you a guy or a girl?, because if you are a guy, then i just wanted to say that you talk pretty much for a guy! also...you know soooo much for a 15 year old!!! and yeah we are kinda getting off topic, and since were already off topic, you know what commenting here on wikipedia is like? its, to me at least, is just like chatting online with my friends...well sort off, only you guys don't know me (and i surely donno you!), and were discussing a certain subject, and...thats about it...well before i go out, i just wanted to say...that if you guys need any help in the fields: medicine, nursing, dental stuff...feel free to ask, because my mom is a dentist turned nurse, and my dad is a doctor...and i'm serious this time! ♥Hot F.L.I.P.

"The Age" newspaper (Melbourne) features a daily section about a famous person born that day. The other day, they chose to feature Jeff Buckley. They said that he "disappeared", and "is believed to have drowned". Any reader who knew nothing about him would reasonably infer his body was never found. They ended with "Source: Wikipedia". I checked our article and those words do not appear, either currently or apparently in any earlier version. His body was found some days later, and there was never any doubt that he drowned.

I just found this spider in my backyard, in the middle of some old wooden boards we were moving around. It's about 5 cm long, and the body (cephalothorax + opisthosoma) are about .8 cm together, and almost indistinguishable from eachother. The color is a deep brown, and it has no spots or hair. The back legs are a lot thicker than the rest, and have spikes. I live in Minas Gerais, Brazil, so it should probably be something from this region.

Hi -
Your page on Tatars contains an image depicting the faces of many "famous tatars" but no reference to their names or who they were or are. I searched, but could not find any identifying information, which was frustrating. If such information exists somewhere in the vicinity of that page, perhaps it could be made easier to find. If such information does not exist, I am sure the problem can easily be remedied by one of your extremely knowledgeable writers.

I'm interested in eponymous place names, particularly indirect ones. I've had the following question on Talk:Jacobin Club since September, but no responses, so I thought I'd put it out there to all my learned colleagues.
The term "Jacobins" was given to the French Dominicans because their first house in Paris was in the Rue St Jacques. It was later applied to a different organization, the Jacobin Club. My question is, who was the St Jacques after whom Rue St Jacques was named? Was this the apostle St James, or some other saint? JackofOz 01:49, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
The mairie de Paris's page at
http://www.v1.paris.fr/CARTO/Nomenclature/8648.nom.html says it was named for a 13th century chapelle Saint-Jacques. So it's at least one remove from an actual person. (Person -> Church -> Street, rather than Person -> Street). This would be the church of St. Jacques in which
Saint Dominic prayed in
1213 for intercession for victory in the
Albigensian Crusade at the
Battle of Muret. His prayers were so apparently efficacious that
Simon de Montfort erected a chapel in the church of Saint-Jacques in thanks for his victory over
Peter II of Aragon. I suspect the church was probably named for
St. James the Greater = St. James of Compostella. (But, as they say, this proof is left as an exercise for the reader... sorry about that!) -

I remember on wikipedia, on the 'current events' page, there was once a notice about a famous person (logician? or philosophier?) who recently died. In that person's article, it had a bit about that particular person being born from outside US and when in the US, not being able to speak English perfectly, found himself in some trouble with the police. Apparently (as the story goes) he was something like "You can't ..." and given his accent the police heard a profanity instead.

Are Roy Keane the one who left manchester united recently & Robbie Kean who is the striker of Totenham Hostpurs brothers or not? Apart from these are there or were there any brothers who play or played soccer at the high club or national team level?
The Dutchs Frank Debour & Ronald Debour can also be mentioned as brothers who played at the high level for Barcelona & the Netherlands national team.
I just saw a dramatised 'what-if' documentary on tv under above title about what would happen if the US $ would collapse. Apparently the national debt of the US has increased dramatically under Bush (after a short good spell under Clinton) and the US now live way above their standard of living, for which they borrow 3 billion US$ per day (per day!?). This creates an artificial paper wealth. Of course this is quite similar to the 1920/30's and a similar crash could happen again (apparently it's not a matter of if but of when). One possible result of this would be that especially Asian countries, like China, would benefit. Also, China is the largest invester in the US$. This made me think. Could China be doing this on purpose? What if they would start selling their dollars really quick (so they still get a good bargain before the dollar goes into freefall)? That would cause a collapse - others will naturally follow to still get what they can get for their dollars, which would cause a further fall, etc. Might China, with its loans to the US, really be after the collapse of the US economy? Then again, someone else said that China would suffer (losing a major market). So what's the deal here? And what would happen to Europe? (This last question because that's where I live). A possible scenario that was mentioned is that Europe creates an artificially high exchange rate (not linked to the free money market), to which the US react furiously because Europe tries to gain a benefit at their expense. How's that? DirkvdM 14:41, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
A distinction should be made here on what "the dollar falling" means. If it merely means the US dollar will by 10 or 20% less on the international market than before, that would actually be good for the US, as it would make imports more expensive and exports cheaper, thus vastly improving the balance of trade. China has been working very hard to keep their yuan low in comparison with the US dollar and other currencies so they can have just such a benefit.
However, if you mean that the US dollar would go to zero value, that would certainly trigger a global depression, including in China. I don't see that happening, though, as China doesn't have control of that large a share of US wealth to effect such a total collapse. Once a substantial drop in the US dollar occured, you would see hordes of foreign investors pouring money into the US economy to pick up assets at bargain prices, and hordes of Americans selling off foreign assets which would appear to have increased dramatically in value. Both activities would result in massive foreign cash infusions in the US, which would raise the value of the US dollar. Furthermore, the US could move to stop a slide by reinstating a gold/silver standard, whereby the precious metals in Fort Knox could be exchanged at a fix rate with currency. If that ran out, they could then auction off vast tracts of federal land and other assets for more. StuRat 20:50, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
Also note that borrowing $3 billion a day ($1.1 trillion a year) is less than 10% of the annual US Gross Domestic Product of $11.75 trillion. StuRat 21:08, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
Here are countries with their percentages of foreign debt to GDP listed, to give you an idea how bad the foreign debt problem is in the US compared with other countries:

i want to know about the human causes which leads a very destructive nature of a hurricane
One way is by allowing, and even encouraging, construction of low quality housing in areas prone to disaster, such as below sea level in an area regularly hit by hurricanes. When homes are destroyed in such areas, the government should not pay to rebuild them, or should pay to rebuild them in a way that will allow them to survive a hurricane, such as on concrete stilts above sea level. Banning construction of dangerous homes in dangerous areas should also be done. To fail to do so is a death sentence for some future generation, or perhps the current one, depending on when the next big hurricane hits. StuRat 20:27, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
Another thought is that draining coastal swamps, which have a great capacity for absorbing excess water without severe damage, leaves the coast more vulnerable to this type of damage. StuRat 20:31, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

The ship is a Missouri- class battleship. None were in Pearl Harbor, but were active in the last years of the war in the northwest Pacific. It looks to me pretty likely intended to represent any of the late WWII actions in support of the island invasions such as Okinawa. The heavy flak indicates air attack, which could well be kamikaze attacks by that stage.

hello iam a pop artist who is not as famous as andy worhol is anyway there is a rumor going around my place of work that babylon 5 is an allegory of world-war-two with the minrbi representing THE U.S.S.R.,the earth allience being the allies,president clark being the axis powers [after all he wants to turn earth into a neo-facist state.] the babylon project representing an atomic bomb. and the minrbi civil war and the shadow war being the cold war which was after world-war-two.what i want is if there is any truth to this rumor.
When I lived in Houston in the eighties-nineties there was a restaurant called the Strawberry Patch on Westheimer Street across from a public Library. They had the BEST cheeseburgers on this earth and they tasted like NO OTHER burger I have EVER tried. Does anyone remember this place? Is there ANY OTHER Strawberry Patch in the US? Or at least the recipe for the burger?
Pappas Burger
5815 Westheimer, 713-975-6082
A clean, well-lit place for quality burgers in the Galleria area, Pappas Burger is a modern burger joint that also serves beer. The meat is first-rate; they start with never-been-frozen beef, ground fresh daily next door at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse. Then they make a half-pound patty and griddle-cook it. You choose from a wide variety of configurations and order at the counter. The blue cheese burger is the local favorite.
OK...neither is correct. That resteraunt does not serve burgers. I think it may have been with the same company who owned Pappadeux Or Bennigans. More help please?

Hi. I will like to start programming, but what is the best "programming language"???
I agree strongly that it depends what your goals are. If you just want to throw together little programs, and don't expect ever to do anything large, then depending on the environment you are in you might try PERL, Javascript, or one of Microsoft's .NET languages, mainly because you will easily find a lot of reusable fragments that you can string together to do things. If you plan eventually to be a "real" programmer, though, PERL and Javascript are not places to start: PERL positively discourages discipline (as does most BASIC) and Javascript is kind of limited. Pascal and Modula-2, both invented by Niklaus Wirth were both specifically designed as disciplined languages for beginners, and remain good places to start. I think Java also is something one can learn from the bottom up (with a good book, or a course), and it encourages a disciplined approach, and you can stay in Java from the very simple to the very complex as you learn more and more of what it can do. I'm old enough that I started in Assembler myself: IBM 1401 Assembler. Do not do that. Personally I like—well, love—C/C++, but I think that its ability to use manipulate addresses directly with "pointers" (and the concommitant requirement to understand memory management) is probably unnecessarily daunting/dangerous for any but the very technically inclined beginner. Then again, once you grasp both pointer arithmetic and object orientation, you have quite a vocabulary of concepts to take to anything else. Hope that's at least slightly helpful, if you make your goals clearer probably several of us can give more appropriate advice. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:42, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Is there a website like IMDB that lists Celebrities TV commercial credits?
imdb does show celebrities' commercials, though you have to search for it by each celebrity, they don't list them by product. Go to the celebrity's page and click on the "Other works" link on the left. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger's commercials are listed at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000216/otherworks -- note that "other works" include videos, theater, etc. User:Zoe| (talk) 01:14, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

I've read the article on Lucid Dreaming. I've tried the techniques, but it does not seem to work. I either fall asleep, and can't control my dreams, or, I cannot sleep.
I've been near to success before, I'll explain what I felt: I had closed my eyes for about 160 counts, when I felt my body go numb (is that sleep paralysis?). Then after that, I felt a little falling sensation mixed with sensations of being on a boat while the water was choppy. But I could not progress further much. I gave up and slept. Of course I dreamt, but it was not the slightest lucid.
Could any experts at lucid dreaming give me more tips? Thank you (in advance)--Levin

Hi! I have three questions about Harry Potter, the first one is Harry ugly? It says in the 1st book he isn't happy with his looks and in the 5th book Pansy says Cedric was handsome but not Harry. Also my other question is about Horcruxes. Voldemort, he was using his diary horcrux in the second one, but what about in the 1st book and just after he tried to kill Harry, what exactly was he? What horcrux was he using? And my final question is Pansy ugly? The person that plays her is really pretty, but is she supposed to be pretty in the books?
P.S. Sorry one more question: In Harry Potter movies 1 and 2, Adrian Pucey....which one is he? It says in the cast list that there are two playing him.....if so, which ones are they? I know there is the one with kind of long hair...but who is the other one?

When Flying, they say you are flying level when you are pointed at the Horizon. Wouldn't theoretically flying towards the horizon actually mean that you are losing altitude, and if you continued non-stop that you would eventually hit the ground?
It's actually more complex than that. The 'pointing towards the horizon' is just an approximation, and not really true. The angle the plane's longitudinal axis makes with the ground when in level flight (i.e. not gaining or losing altitude) actually varies with many things, such as weight of the plane, speed and air pressure. You can find out more at Flight controls and angle of attack. DJ Clayworth 17:24, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Ok, here goes. This one is a stretch. My chinese uncle is being hard up on information, treating it like it is a secret. We have been watching a Mandarin speaking DVD collection of his, with subtitles in Cantonese, although I am an English speaker only. Every averaged 1.5 mins., my aunt asks, "Daddy! What did He Say?!!" "Daddy!! What did She say?". So, this translation may be fouled by the many transactions it made to enter the sphere of my conscienceness:
Swordsman, wandering around. Sees two old elders, they come from two worlds on one mountain. Note: On this mountain there are like 7 clans or tribes. (Swordsman/KungFu Hun Dynasty like/WomanMonks/ShaolinMonks/a leader with a changing face when in battle people/...) These two elders are writing a music book together. Ok, he helps them in trouble or something? Meets this witch swordstress that rocks pretty hard, but thinks she's a popo or lulu (grandma styles). He goes back to his master, but master mad that he hung out with the evil ones, per their POV. So then they banish him into solitude for a year in this cave. In the cave the Masters daughter comes to be cute with him all the time, bringing lunch and laughter. She goes back down to spar with a guy that lost his dad, but his dad gave him a book or some knowledge that all the mountain is in a brouhaha about. Back to the main dude...he's up there all bored. Stumbles across secret room with writings on the wall. Old man Elder that looks like Saruman from LOTR busts some crazy Martial moves on him. He learns from this wisecat. Now he gots crazy powers. Comes out of seclusion only to be the outcast of his own master by the masters jealous teenage-like fit. So all these side wars are going on during the story, and after many hours. This must have been a TV show or something in China. Titled 'Something?? Beautiful Song? or something?' I remember asking Uncle Joe about it, and he murmured it, but he's being sly now when I told him I want it in English Subtitles. So the question being. Where can I find this DVD Collection in English Subtitles? Basic concept of the story is that, and I haven't finished watching this warped translated version at my Uncles yet, Swordsman is the Key to this Mountain world/nation. All these feuds are to be quelled by his mastery of martial arts. I'm guessing, they will always be at war, but with him as the heart of the mountain they will live harmoniously? Maybe? Like, he's the only one in the story that isn't in search of mad power and glory, he's just a plain ole' servant. But of course, life is so-called unfair, and the ones that want don't get, and the ones that do not care do get. This is just speculation on the ending..still trying to decipher. Thank you for your time in this. --the void

The girlfriend of Tony Kanal (from the band No Doubt)has a girlfriend named Erin (Michelle) Lokitz. The only information I know about her is that she starred in a movie called 'The Graveyard', was a ballerina for several years, and was featured in the British comedy 'Coupling'. Apparently she was raised in California (around Agoura Hills and Calabasas) with Hoobastank and Incubus (both have thanked her in album booklets). What is some generic biographical about her (age, date of birth, how she and Tony got together, what is she currently working on, etc).
As for an appearance in "Coupling", I was a fan of that show and if she appeared I certainly can't recall her face (which you can see if you search the IMDB for her name). -- Robert Merkel 06:44, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi there,
I'm writing a novel about the Naxalite threat in India. In the beginning, a father with two teenagers abandons his miltary post in the United States and takes up volunteer work as a travelling officer with a group of Kalbeliya (low caste) people so as to protect them from the Naxalites while on the search for a mysterious relic. How realistic is this? Is there anything about this scenario that I should change for accuracy's sake?
~Stephanie Sleuth
HIGHLY UNREALISTIC.What is the nationality of the do-gooder? If he's not an Indian from that area (undefined?) he will land in the local chokey (which is the brit version of the Hindi 'chowki', meaning police outpost). The hypothetical Kalbeliyas are unlikely to be under Naxal threat because they are, presumably, neither wealthy not police informers. Having your protagonist tag along with them would be a surefire formula for attracting Naxal attention. And I do not understand this idea of one man 'protecting' the Kalbeliyas (do they exist?): Naxal territory is not exactly celluloid Rambo/Arnie terrain.The likeliest outcome for the protector would be to be bumped off with the willing assistance of the protectees ; I think choky and deportation would be preferable for him.

Which is better a Nintendo DS or a PlayStationPortable? (which are totally contradictory)
For over a year now, at times my eye (usually my right, but sometimes both), itches immensely. At first I thought it was allergies (although I've never had allergies) cos I had just moved to California. But it has continued no matter what state/country I am in. It is not constant. But maybe once in a few weeks, I'll scratch my eye briefly because I felt an itch (yes, that fueled it even more), but it would sometimes go on for over 24 hrs... after sleep and a shower... still there. Usually after 48hrs, it's gone.
What could be causing this?
No, I don't wear contacts. It usually occurs if I'm trying to wipe something out of my eye. In the past, when I've had to brush soap or whatever it may be (if I'm showering), away... the itch has never stayed. But now, if I even touch my eye briefly, an itch lingers.

Dear Wikipedia,
I have tried to find out what the most read genres of books are? I went to Barnes & Noble, to Borders and to the Dallas Library and couldn't get a concise answer. "We really don't know," was the answer.
I have been on the internet browsing on tons of sites. The result: One Canadian site gave me good information about the situation in Canada (32Million) with differences between the English and French speaking (Quebec) audiences. Unfortunately that does not help me any because it isn't necessarly relevant to the American (297 Million) audiences.
Why I ask? I am in the process of writing a memoir (almost done) about real life business ocurrences in Latin America, pioneering the early cellular systems in the 1980s to telecommunications agencies and other. There are a lot of intricate (but understandable) business situations that vary completely from country to country.
The memoir has a fairly large content of religion (working with God to get guidance - by any religious denomination) and show how I used the powers of the mind to overcome obstacles and attain my goals.
It is a series of narratives in dialog form of many peculiar (interesting) incidents, where I often had to make on-the spot decisions and take action.
I provide a lot of my experience know-how to inspire people in how to go after business and/or anything we want.
So having explained this, my question is, how shall I market my book? What genre? What would be the most popular genre in which to market my book?
The reason for all of this is that the person in charge of the writers critique group i belong to, told me I need to make a market analysis to find out what genre to select.
It is definitely a memoir, but what kind?
Memoir on business development? Religious memoir? Inspirational memoir? Personal self-development? Know-How? Other? Non-fiction novel?
The memoir really covers all of this. But which is the most popular one here in the USA?
(And which one in countries in Latin America? I'm fully fluent in Spanish and plan to translate to that language.)
I realize I'm asking for a lot and can only hope you can give me some guidance.
Thanks and Best regards,
Lennart Wingardh
It sounds like you could market it in all of those genres. The United States is such a market that you might want to adapt the marketing strategy to meet the demographic profiles of particular areas. A religious memoir might do well in areas where belief in traditional religion is strong for example the Bible Belt. However, in areas such as San Francisco and Manhattan it might work better as an inspirational memoir. You might also want to put this question on Google Answers and to ask an expert on literary marketing. Capitalistroadster 06:12, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Dear Mr Wingardh: The most popular genre, would have to include the most popular sellers. The Bible outsells, outdirstubules and outreads ever other known book, that its only included as an afterthought in the Guiness Book of World Records. Obivously the most popular genre of the printed word is Religion. How popular was 'The Celestine prophecy?' Artoftransformation 23:49, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Actually I would like to see figures on that. The Bible as bestseller is well known and most people would consider it a special case. However I would like to suggest that Romance Novels are probably the bestselling genre. Mills and Boon (UK) and Harlequin (US, a publisher for which we unbelievably seem to have no article) turn out enormous numbers of books. Some people buy several of these a month; not many people will buy a Bible a month (though they might be better off if they did). I can't back that guess with figures though. Anyone?

Edward Robert Hughes Born Nov 5 1849,London,England. Died Apr 23 1914.
Biography Hughes was a nephew of Arthur Hughes and a studio assistant to William Holman Hunt. He helped Hunt with some of his later work, including the St Paul's version of The Light of the World. Hughes began his career among the Pre-Raphaelites, and like Edward Burne-Jones with whom he was acquainted, he inclined towards Symbolism. However, the majority of Hughes' work, carried out mainly in watercolour/gouache, displays the meticulous observation of nature and minute technique associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
He was engaged to George Macdonald's daughter before she died.

I am trying to locate a country where the individual citizens vote on every single law. Thank you.
Thank you for the quick response. My daughter's teacher, (9th grade in the USA) asked them to locate a country where every law is voted on by each and every citizen. Possibly by referendum? I wa sthinking maybe Luxemberg/Monte Carlo. Any modern day possible suggestions?
I can't think of any country (or part of a country which passes it's own laws - Pitcairn Island doesn't) which does this. Switzerland is probably the closest as they can have a referendum on any law if 50,000 people or 8 cantons say they want it within 100 days of it being passed (see Referendum), but this isn't quite all laws being voted on by all citizens. You could also check Direct democracy. If your daughters teacher is a really strong supporter of states rights & hasn't gotten over the Union victory of the civil war she might mean one of the states that has referrendums on state laws, but I doubt it.

Club performances do not usually generate as much money as concerts. -- 69.199.106.244 02:18, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Looking at both Television in the United States, and the "television schedule" pages, something is still confusing me. An example from the former is:
prime time begins at 8 p.m. (7 p.m. CST and MST)
If a programme is being aired nationally at 8pm ET, wouldn't that be 6pm MT and 5pm PT? Particularly for the pages on the schedules listing the times as Eastern and Pacific but listing only one time. Chris talk back 03:01, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Why can't more than on person from the same political party run for the same office in an election?
Generally, a country's electoral commission will identify a candidate with a party label only if he or she is officially nominated by that party. A political party will usually want to increase the chance of its candidate being elected by nominating only one candidate for each electoral district. In a "first past the post" system, the candidate who wins the most votes wins. Let's say there are ten voters: four are Conservatives, and six are Liberals. If the Liberal Party nominates two candidates, and each wins votes from three of the six Liberals in the electorate, the Conservative Party candidate would win with four votes. If the Liberal Party nominates only one candidate, he or she would win with six votes.
In some voting systems, more than one member of parliament/congress/legislature may represent an electoral district. In these cases, parties will nominate a candidate for each of the positions available. Ground Zero | t 14:41, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
As mentioned above, it depends on the election. In most major U.S. elections, there is a primary election before the general election to decide which Democrat or Republic will be on the final ballot. This system allows the party to prevent vote-splitting. However, some races use an "open primary" system in which all candidates run together in the primary, and the top two go on to the final round, regardless of party. Under that system, it's possible to have two Democrats or two Republicans on the final ballot. -- Mwalcoff 05:36, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

How are calories removed from food, and what does a calorie look like?
Calories are removed from food either by removing much of a caloric constituent like
starch,
sugar, or
fat. Food can be made with less calories by using substitutes for starch, sugar, or fat ingredients. A calorie is no more visible than a degree of temperature.
alteripse 04:55, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Food becomes reduced calories in diffrent ways, each way involves the removal of part of the food, so it looks similar to the food from which it was removed. Artoftransformation 14:46, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Can mother tongue also mean the langue your mother speaks? Because I read many articles about that and saw both: 1. the language your mother speaks 2. the language a baby learns first
pls n help
T0T0 06:52, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
You guys are all kidding, right? This is a specious distinction for nearly alll of us: 98% of the time the two meanings coincide. The first language a child learns is the one his principal caretaker teaches him in the first 2 years of life. For most human beings in most cultures, the principal caretaker is his mother and she talks to him in infancy in the language with which she is most comfortable. alteripse 10:46, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Scanning the comments here, it appears that everyone assumed mother in mother tongue refers to a parent. It is more likely to be an abbreviated way of saying language of your mother country. It is not common to hear people refer to mother country anymore, but it was very popular during colonial times when people were commonly citizens of one country but living in another. -- Kainaw (talk) 18:02, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Recently there has been a discussion about human pubic hair. Some seemed to believe the remaining hair covering the genitals was caused by sexual selection. I beg to differ.
A man may want a woman with big boobs and fat buttocks (see Venus figurines). But are men also picky about women's labia sizes or pubic hair shapes? As a man, I think the answer is usually no. I mean if this woman comes to me and asks me "Your place or mine?", it would be insane for me to examine the length, size and color of her pubic hair before I make the decision. I just want to f*** her. I don't care if she has a big clit or a small one. Are you going say "Angelina, I can't have sex with you because I hate Brazilian waxing? Come to me with nice looking hair next time."
I think the shapes of human genitals are the least sexually selected anatomical part. A vagina that works is all I need. No, I really don't care if she has puffy lips or not. -- Toytoy 07:49, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

How long is a Tin or aluminium can of beef eatable after production ? What are the storage Limits in Celcius, both Minimum and Maximum temp-C and if so ehat is the danger temp - C for storage that produces fast rotting or decay ? Is canned beef 100 % free from irregulair parts (non animal)
As long as the tine remains unopened, a long time. I have a tin here I bought a few weeks ago with a 'use by' date of February 2009. Tinned food is hermetically sealed. No air = no rotting. I would imagine that the long-term storage lower limit would be 0°C, as a frozen can would split (due to corned beef containing water). Cooked meat should not be re-frozen, so I would advise against eating the corned beaf once it had defrosted. Proto t c 15:34, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Ivy League article states the following:
"All of the Ivy League institutions share some general characteristics: They are among the most prestigious and selective schools in the U.S. They represent seven of the nine colonial colleges founded before the American revolution (the two remaining being the public universities Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and The College of William and Mary);..."
Shouldn't this state the "three remaining being...", since three are listed?
That's two, not three. Rutgers is The State University of New Jersey. So either [1] "The College of William and Mary, and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey" or [2] Rutgers University, and The College of William and Mary would be clearer. An unexpected complication of universities adding advertising slogans to their names and monarchs ruling jointly. Since we have wikimarkup, we can form the links in such a way as to make the sentence clearer than mere punctuation would.

Babies swallow amniotic fluid during intrauterine life before birth. The only problem at delivery comes if during the labor the baby has pooped meconium into the amniotic fluid and then inhales ("aspirates") some of it into the lungs with the first breaths after delivery. Swallowing more of it would cause no trouble. alteripse 21:17, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

There might be seawater in JFKs casket: [29]
"Two weeks after that conversation, documents show that the coffin, loaded with sandbags and riddled with holes, was taken from the basement of the National Archives building in downtown Washington and dumped from an Air Force C-130 into the Atlantic Ocean at 10 a.m. on February 18, 1966."
"On June 1, 1999, the National Archives released this fascinating set of documents relating to the "sea burial" of the ceremonial casket used to transport President Kennedy's body from Dallas to Washington on the afternoon of November 22, 1963. The casket was dropped into 9000 feet of water off the coast of Maryland from a military helicopter in early 1966."
Id start here. [31]

what is the diference between chicken and pigeon urogenital anatomy?
Pigeon: Large, paired, irregularly lobed kidneys. Ureter opens into cloaca. Male-- Paired testes in upper abdomen. Ductus deferens empty into cloaca. Female-- Right ovary and oviduct become vestigial. Oviduct secretes hormones over eggs. [32] Chicken: The kidney in the chicken is multilobulated with no separation into cortex and medulla. The collecting tubules empty into the ureters which empty directly into the cloaca, a common vestibule into which the digestive and reproductive tracts also empty. No bladder is present. The kidney has a renal portal circulation as described previously. Uric acid is the main nitrogenous waste product excreted in birds. Urine of birds is usually cream coloured and viscous but under certain conditions it may be thin and watery. It is voided at the same time as the faeces and diuresis may give so-called wet droppings.

what are the ten greatest movies about a war or an empire what country are the directors of those films from and what country does that particular film take place and just in case your wondering iam not doing my homework. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.161.135.80 ( talk • contribs)
Ben-Hur and Spartacus immediately come to mind. Probably two of the greatest epics ever made. The latter is by the fabulous Stanley Kubrick, who was an American, but made most of his films in the UK. William Wyler was the director of Ben-Hur (1959).
I think I remember knowing a foums person who's mother was raped and born from that incident. Not sure if thats just my imagination, so has there been anyone famous person born in this manner? --Ice_Jedi5 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ice Jedi5 ( talk • contribs)

The Flying Tigers were part of the American Volunteer Group. You'll find a roster of the American Volunteer Group here, but he's not on it. Someone might conceivably say they were in the Flying Tigers when they served in the 14th Air Force, also called Flying Tigers. Their website is here. You could possibly inquire further at one of these websites or the Flying TIgers forum. - Nunh-huh 02:04, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Can anyone tell me when the quickest own goal was scored by a debutant in a soccer match?
I am following Wycombe Wanderers who are in League Two of the English Football League. On Saturday, Richard Keogh made his debut and scored in his own net after 36 minutes.
I am told this is by no means the quickest and that Steve Bruce of Norwich City achieved the feat much quicker.

Hello, William Ewart Gladstone was well known for felling oak trees as a hobby. I heard a while ago that Donald Rumsfeld also enjoys this hobby (although using a chainsaw) as does another neo-con politician. I can't remember who the other politician is, does anyone know? or does anyone know of any other politicians or famous people who enjoyed felling trees as a pastime, rather than as an occupation?

In the the movie "The Others" Nicole Kidman finds an album of pictures of people after death that are posed for pictures. This is a book of the dead and my understanding is the photos in the book in the movie are real. I find these photos very interesting. Is there a book or website out there that displays these?
Several books of formal funeral pictures have been published. At different times and places, it was the custom to take a formal photo after death. One of the stranger and more poignant was entitled if I remember correctly, Wisconsin Death Trip or something like that: all the photos were from old 19th century glass plates. In a bookstore I have also seen a book of death photos by a big city police and news photographer: many were crime scene or autopsy. The books are usually categorized as photography books in book stores and you could try searching the usual online used book sources. However, if you are more of a movie person and want a specific book from a specific movie, I can't help you. alteripse 18:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Please could you help me find footage/photographs/information/write-ups (basically anything really) on Judo championships from around the years 1964-1991? The reason i ask is that i'm trying to trace any of the above which contain information/photographs of my very good friend, Mr Alan Konderla, as a surprise. He was born in South Wales, Great Britain, in February 1951 and he stopped competing in 1991. I know he has taken part in competitions in Denmark, Sweden, North Wales, South Africa, and many other countries although when and where exactly these contests were, i have no idea. I know that SOMETHING exists with him in because both he and his mother have spoken of watching his matches on televisions in their hotels. I've trawled many internet search engines and exhausted searches on loads of television channel websites from these countries but to no avail so maybe i'm going about this the wrong way (or possibly looking in completely the wrong place!!) Therefore, if anyone can help me, or simply point me towards a more hopeful destination, i would be extremely grateful !! Many thanks, 86.135.117.146 19:54, 14 November 2005 (UTC)karen

Hello: Sir/Maa'm On October 18th I signed some documents with the Army National Guards stating that I will contract with them for 2 years reserve and 6 years active duty. My question is that since I was not told of all the facts before hand and was rushed into this whole process of signing. After becoming aware of some facts I do not agree on doing am I still liable for complying with this contract or am too late to back out?
I've talked to a friend of mine who said that he signed also the same documents with the marines, but before his time for basic training was up; he told them he did not want to do it afterwards and he never showed up to boot-camp. He said he did again one more time and end up not going to basic training and he never had any problems with his criminal record as being "Other than Honorable Discharge". He said they (the military, whatever branch is) is not suppossed to assume that you are part of their branch until you signed a second set of papers just before getting to basic training.
Is this correct? If not, could you tell me what exactly are the consequences for signing these papers the very first time and end up not going thru the whole process. See my case is the one like I believe very many have taken place before, I was attracted to the Army national guards because the recruiter told me I only was required to show up a weekend every month for drilling and that I was going to get paid about $190.00 every month for doing that and on top of that my tuition and fees were going to be paid in full for 36 months. However, I was not told that after going thru basic training you become immediately activated and can go to war(Irak) any time after. My basic training is scheduled for May the 29th. Am I still on time to back out and let them know I am not interested anymore without taking any chances of comprimising my criminal record?
I talked to the recruiter about this and he said; "if anybody is to backed out after signing those papers things like this could happen 1) that person can get arrested and put in prison 2) he/she can get a felony on his/her criminal record for failing to comply with contract 3) he/she can get a dishonorable discharge.
I did some research on the internet and found out that when someone signs the very first set of papers before basic training that person is under what they call DEP Delayed Enlistment Program and that yes anybody can back out of their agreement but the writer explains that a "Other than Honorable Discharge" could be placed in that person's record.
Who is right? that writer from the Internet or my friend? I sure do not feel obligated to comply with something I was not told with all the facts, pro's and con's.
I would appreciate if someone has an answer for this and let me know of all the things that could or could not happen in case I do not want to proceed with this.
For your help and time to in keeping people like me informed, I truly appreciate you guys!

Traditionally, the unicorn was used as a symbol for Scotland, as a corrolary to the English lion (which still crops up occasionally). This was derived from the Royal Coat of Arms of Scotland - the "supporters", animals on each side of the shield, were unicorns. It's not clear when this came into use - our page suggests the twelfth century. Does anyone have any idea why unicorns, specifically?

Tax cuts are supposed to stimulate the economy. What I don't understand is "what is the difference if the money is spent by the consumers on televisions, home improvements and such or retained by the government and spend on roads, military equipment, FAA traffic control towers?" In either case, the money is spent and according to the commonplace explanations, spending the money will create jobs and the money from those jobs will produce more spending and so on. So why are tax cuts reported by the government and the media considered economic stimulus? Its all the same. I do not understand this.
Aime Casavant
I agree with Taxman's answer, but there is a simpler, alternative answer. Aime assumes that the level of government spending is linked directly to the level of tax revenues. In the short run, it is not. A government can borrow to finance tax cuts while maintaining its level of spending. In the short run, then, tax cuts alone are stimulative because people have more money to spend. There is no offsetting reduction in total spending if the government does not cut its spending to finance the tax cuts. Over the longer term, however, a government's ability to borrow may be impaired if its debt levels rise too high, and it may have to cut its spending to reflect reduced tax revenues. And here's where we get into Taxman's answer. Ground Zero | t 16:06, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

I use a ThermalTake Tsunami Dream case for my computer. The fans in the case keep making some strange sort of noise. I can't explain it very well, but it sounds like some object is hitting against the blades, or the blades are briefly stopping during rotation. I don't understand at all where this is coming from. Opening up the case stops the noise, and when I inspect the innards, there seems to be nothing whatsoever that could move anywhere near the fan blades. As long as the case is open, the noise is gone. Putting the side panel back and screwing it in place causes the noise to reappear. And there's more: tilting the case to its side, either left-right or front-back, stops the noise. The noise reappears when the case is put back horizontally. Lifting the case in the air doesn't help, so it can't be resonation from my table or anything.

Does anyone out there know the name of a Lifetime tv movie that deals with rape. The story goes like this as much as I can remember. This lady is a business executive and starts to have mental problems and starts to get in trouble with the law. She starts to remember her past. She remembers as a little girl her Mother taking her to the babysitter's house while she went to work. They were a man and woman farmers. He would raped her and then the wife would give her a bath to clean her up before the Mother picked her up after work. While being raped and molested in her brain to combat the ordeal she would make up poetry.
That is about all the I remember about the movie on tv. It has been some time since I saw it so it is most vague in my mind at the moment.

Can anyone please tell me how many autos were produced in the US last year or the most recent year for whichj statistics are available? I am not simply thinking of the Big Three (GM, Ford, DaimlerChrysler) but also the fairly recent newcomers such as auto producers from Japan, Germany and South Korea such as Toyota, BMW and Hyundai.
Can anyone help, please? I really would be grateful.

A Wikipedia user has posted this on the Help desk mailing list and I am posting it here to see if anyone can help this gentleman.
I linked to your site from the Conrail Cyclopedia site. I don't know if you can help me but I'll try any way.
First off: My quest has nothing whatever to do with model railroading! I'm looking into the way the railroads ordered stuff back at the turn of the century(1900s).
As an example, If it was decided by the "powers that be" to run a telegraph/signal line from one town (station) to another I've been told by an old time railroader that the "STORES DEPARTMENTS" were the ones that supplied the required materials (i.e.. poles, wire, insulators, signaling devices, telegraph stuff, etc.). He further told me that they would consult a source known as the "Maintenance of Way Cyclopedia" that told them what was available and where to order it. He further told me that the cyclopedia was used by different rail lines and was not unique to any one line.
Now, I'm trying to find a copy of this "Maintenance of Way Cyclopedia" to look at. I want to see who they would order the supplies from. I know that this is a crazy request to a fellow such as yourself who seems to be more involved with rolling stock. Would you have any suggestions as to where I might locate this resource? I've tried the Smithsonian, various libraries and many rail fan sites with no success.
I'd appreciate any info you can provide. By the way, I'm not a school kid doing a term paper. I'm a 76 year old retired telephone engineer who's father put 40 years into the Santa Fe as fireman, brakeman, electrician, and a few more jobs. He brought power into the Dallas/Ft Worth yards when they opened up. I'm just doing a little personal research.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks for any help you can give him.

I have just acquired a standard definition digital set top box, and occasionally (couple of times an hour) the TV screen (rear projection) flickers. The flickering always occurs when there is a change in scene (eg changing from an ad break to a TV show, or changing scenes in a movie). The reception (from an external aerial) is excellent and the flickering occurs on all channels, so I'm not convinced that is the problem. Could the problem be the set top box or the TV?

hey its ♥Hot F.L.I.P. again...i was just curious, the poeple who answers my questions here in wikipedia, are they often correct?, i mean like do they base it on facts that they actually learned about, or are they just saying what they think? , also, since anyone can answer my question on this site (young or old), does that mean that the dumbest person on the planet can just comment on my question and say something like, "trust me, i know lots about this subject, my dad was a doctor"... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.42.91.228 ( talk • contribs)
Well i guess you can't blame other people for putting down what sometimes seems to be a dumb ass answer, i mean c'mon...it is kinda fun just playing around and typing down what you think and putting down not so smart answers just for the fun of arguing with other people...anywayz..." ♥Hot F.L.I.P." means, which some of you might know (or not), but it means F(ine) L(ittle) I(sland) P(erson)...the original version was Fucking Little Island People, used by white peope in world war 2 (i think), insulting the filipinos...but of course we have revised this through time...I know my history because my dad is a professor at Harvard University!...Well anyways, i guess i'll just have to hope that people who answer my questions will actually have many rescources to back it up...hope you guys will answer any of MY questions intelligently in the near future...Also thanks "commander keane" for so far answering each of my questions that i have posted ♥Hot F.L.I.P.

Back to the question, which is a very valid one. The main thing, I suppose, is 'who would be bothered to give answers'? Not someone who hasn't a clue. That sort of vandalism is much more 'thrilling' in Wikipedia proper (the encyclopedia). Except of course when that person is curious too and manages to find the answer (or thinks he did). I do that sometimes. Most of the time, though, I tell what I know from the top of my head (and sometimes I don't answer but ask more questions). And sometimes someone (sometimes even me) is a genuine expert on the subject. And in my experience that shows. As with every information you get in life, you'll have to be able to sniff out the bullshit. Where else can you get reliable tailor made information? And for free? (this is not strictly meant as rhetorical question).

"The Age" newspaper (Melbourne) features a daily section about a famous person born that day. The other day, they chose to feature Jeff Buckley. They said that he "disappeared", and "is believed to have drowned". Any reader who knew nothing about him would reasonably infer his body was never found. They ended with "Source: Wikipedia". I checked our article and those words do not appear, either currently or apparently in any earlier version. His body was found some days later, and there was never any doubt that he drowned.

I just found this spider in my backyard, in the middle of some old wooden boards we were moving around.

The back legs are a lot thicker than the rest, and have spikes. I live in Minas Gerais, Brazil, so it should probably be something from this region.

Hi -
Your page on Tatars contains an image depicting the faces of many "famous tatars" but no reference to their names or who they were or are. I searched, but could not find any identifying information, which was frustrating. If such information exists somewhere in the vicinity of that page, perhaps it could be made easier to find. If such information does not exist, I am sure the problem can easily be remedied by one of your extremely knowledgeable writers.

I'm interested in eponymous place names, particularly indirect ones. I've had the following question on Talk:Jacobin Club since September, but no responses, so I thought I'd put it out there to all my learned colleagues.
The term "Jacobins" was given to the French Dominicans because their first house in Paris was in the Rue St Jacques. It was later applied to a different organization, the Jacobin Club. My question is, who was the St Jacques after whom Rue St Jacques was named? Was this the apostle St James, or some other saint? JackofOz 01:49, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
The mairie de Paris's page at
http://www.v1.paris.fr/CARTO/Nomenclature/8648.nom.html says it was named for a 13th century chapelle Saint-Jacques. So it's at least one remove from an actual person. (Person -> Church -> Street, rather than Person -> Street). This would be the church of St. Jacques in which
Saint Dominic prayed in
1213 for intercession for victory in the
Albigensian Crusade at the
Battle of Muret. His prayers were so apparently efficacious that
Simon de Montfort erected a chapel in the church of Saint-Jacques in thanks for his victory over
Peter II of Aragon. I suspect the church was probably named for
St. James the Greater = St. James of Compostella. (But, as they say, this proof is left as an exercise for the reader... sorry about that!) -

I remember on wikipedia, on the 'current events' page, there was once a notice about a famous person (logician? or philosophier?) who recently died. In that person's article, it had a bit about that particular person being born from outside US and when in the US, not being able to speak English perfectly, found himself in some trouble with the police. Apparently (as the story goes) he was something like "You can't ..." and given his accent the police heard a profanity instead.

Are Roy Keane the one who left manchester united recently & Robbie Kean who is the striker of Totenham Hostpurs brothers or not? Apart from these are there or were there any brothers who play or played soccer at the high club or national team level?
The Dutchs Frank Debour & Ronald Debour can also be mentioned as brothers who played at the high level for Barcelona & the Netherlands national team.
I just saw a dramatised 'what-if' documentary on tv under above title about what would happen if the US $ would collapse. Apparently the national debt of the US has increased dramatically under Bush (after a short good spell under Clinton) and the US now live way above their standard of living, for which they borrow 3 billion US$ per day (per day!?). This creates an artificial paper wealth. Of course this is quite similar to the 1920/30's and a similar crash could happen again (apparently it's not a matter of if but of when). One possible result of this would be that especially Asian countries, like China, would benefit. Also, China is the largest invester in the US$. This made me think. Could China be doing this on purpose? What if they would start selling their dollars really quick (so they still get a good bargain before the dollar goes into freefall)? That would cause a collapse - others will naturally follow to still get what they can get for their dollars, which would cause a further fall, etc. Might China, with its loans to the US, really be after the collapse of the US economy? Then again, someone else said that China would suffer (losing a major market). So what's the deal here? And what would happen to Europe? (This last question because that's where I live). A possible scenario that was mentioned is that Europe creates an artificially high exchange rate (not linked to the free money market), to which the US react furiously because Europe tries to gain a benefit at their expense. How's that? DirkvdM 14:41, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
A distinction should be made here on what "the dollar falling" means. If it merely means the US dollar will by 10 or 20% less on the international market than before, that would actually be good for the US, as it would make imports more expensive and exports cheaper, thus vastly improving the balance of trade. China has been working very hard to keep their yuan low in comparison with the US dollar and other currencies so they can have just such a benefit.
However, if you mean that the US dollar would go to zero value, that would certainly trigger a global depression, including in China. I don't see that happening, though, as China doesn't have control of that large a share of US wealth to effect such a total collapse. Once a substantial drop in the US dollar occured, you would see hordes of foreign investors pouring money into the US economy to pick up assets at bargain prices, and hordes of Americans selling off foreign assets which would appear to have increased dramatically in value. Both activities would result in massive foreign cash infusions in the US, which would raise the value of the US dollar. Furthermore, the US could move to stop a slide by reinstating a gold/silver standard, whereby the precious metals in Fort Knox could be exchanged at a fix rate with currency. If that ran out, they could then auction off vast tracts of federal land and other assets for more. StuRat 20:50, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
Also note that borrowing $3 billion a day ($1.1 trillion a year) is less than 10% of the annual US Gross Domestic Product of $11.75 trillion. StuRat 21:08, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

i want to know about the human causes which leads a very destructive nature of a hurricane
One way is by allowing, and even encouraging, construction of low quality housing in areas prone to disaster, such as below sea level in an area regularly hit by hurricanes. When homes are destroyed in such areas, the government should not pay to rebuild them, or should pay to rebuild them in a way that will allow them to survive a hurricane, such as on concrete stilts above sea level. Banning construction of dangerous homes in dangerous areas should also be done. To fail to do so is a death sentence for some future generation, or perhps the current one, depending on when the next big hurricane hits. StuRat 20:27, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

The ship is a Missouri- class battleship. None were in Pearl Harbor, but were active in the last years of the war in the northwest Pacific. It looks to me pretty likely intended to represent any of the late WWII actions in support of the island invasions such as Okinawa.

hello iam a pop artist who is not as famous as andy worhol is anyway there is a rumor going around my place of work that babylon 5 is an allegory of world-war-two with the minrbi representing THE U.S.S.R.,the earth allience being the allies,president clark being the axis powers [after all he wants to turn earth into a neo-facist state.] the babylon project representing an atomic bomb. and the minrbi civil war and the shadow war being the cold war which was after world-war-two.what i want is if there is any truth to this rumor.
When I lived in Houston in the eighties-nineties there was a restaurant called the Strawberry Patch on Westheimer Street across from a public Library. They had the BEST cheeseburgers on this earth and they tasted like NO OTHER burger I have EVER tried. Does anyone remember this place? Is there ANY OTHER Strawberry Patch in the US? Or at least the recipe for the burger?
Pappas Burger
5815 Westheimer, 713-975-6082
A clean, well-lit place for quality burgers in the Galleria area, Pappas Burger is a modern burger joint that also serves beer. The meat is first-rate; they start with never-been-frozen beef, ground fresh daily next door at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse. Then they make a half-pound patty and griddle-cook it. You choose from a wide variety of configurations and order at the counter. The blue cheese burger is the local favorite.
OK...neither is correct. That resteraunt does not serve burgers. I think it may have been with the same company who owned Pappadeux Or Bennigans. More help please?

Hi. I will like to start programming, but what is the best "programming language"???
I agree strongly that it depends what your goals are. If you just want to throw together little programs, and don't expect ever to do anything large, then depending on the environment you are in you might try PERL, Javascript, or one of Microsoft's .NET languages, mainly because you will easily find a lot of reusable fragments that you can string together to do things. If you plan eventually to be a "real" programmer, though, PERL and Javascript are not places to start: PERL positively discourages discipline (as does most BASIC) and Javascript is kind of limited. Pascal and Modula-2, both invented by Niklaus Wirth were both specifically designed as disciplined languages for beginners, and remain good places to start. I think Java also is something one can learn from the bottom up (with a good book, or a course), and it encourages a disciplined approach, and you can stay in Java from the very simple to the very complex as you learn more and more of what it can do. I'm old enough that I started in Assembler myself: IBM 1401 Assembler. Do not do that. Personally I like—well, love—C/C++, but I think that its ability to use manipulate addresses directly with "pointers" (and the concommitant requirement to understand memory management) is probably unnecessarily daunting/dangerous for any but the very technically inclined beginner. Then again, once you grasp both pointer arithmetic and object orientation, you have quite a vocabulary of concepts to take to anything else. Hope that's at least slightly helpful, if you make your goals clearer probably several of us can give more appropriate advice. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:42, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Is there a website like IMDB that lists Celebrities TV commercial credits?
imdb does show celebrities' commercials, though you have to search for it by each celebrity, they don't list them by product. Go to the celebrity's page and click on the "Other works" link on the left. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger's commercials are listed at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000216/otherworks -- note that "other works" include videos, theater, etc. User:Zoe| (talk) 01:14, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

I've read the article on Lucid Dreaming. I've tried the techniques, but it does not seem to work. I either fall asleep, and can't control my dreams, or, I cannot sleep.
I've been near to success before, I'll explain what I felt: I had closed my eyes for about 160 counts, when I felt my body go numb (is that sleep paralysis?). Then after that, I felt a little falling sensation mixed with sensations of being on a boat while the water was choppy. But I could not progress further much. I gave up and slept. Of course I dreamt, but it was not the slightest lucid.
Could any experts at lucid dreaming give me more tips? Thank you (in advance)--Levin

Hi! I have three questions about Harry Potter, the first one is Harry ugly? It says in the 1st book he isn't happy with his looks and in the 5th book Pansy says Cedric was handsome but not Harry. Also my other question is about Horcruxes. Voldemort, he was using his diary horcrux in the second one, but what about in the 1st book and just after he tried to kill Harry, what exactly was he? What horcrux was he using? And my final question is Pansy ugly? The person that plays her is really pretty, but is she supposed to be pretty in the books?
P.S. Sorry one more question: In Harry Potter movies 1 and 2, Adrian Pucey....which one is he? It says in the cast list that there are two playing him.....if so, which ones are they? I know there is the one with kind of long hair...but who is the other one?

When Flying, they say you are flying level when you are pointed at the Horizon. Wouldn't theoretically flying towards the horizon actually mean that you are losing altitude, and if you continued non-stop that you would eventually hit the ground?
It's actually more complex than that. The 'pointing towards the horizon' is just an approximation, and not really true. The angle the plane's longitudinal axis makes with the ground when in level flight (i.e. not gaining or losing altitude) actually varies with many things, such as weight of the plane, speed and air pressure. You can find out more at Flight controls and angle of attack. DJ Clayworth 17:24, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Ok, here goes. This one is a stretch. My chinese uncle is being hard up on information, treating it like it is a secret. We have been watching a Mandarin speaking DVD collection of his, with subtitles in Cantonese, although I am an English speaker only. Every averaged 1.5 mins., my aunt asks, "Daddy! What did He Say?!!" "Daddy!! What did She say?". So, this translation may be fouled by the many transactions it made to enter the sphere of my conscienceness:
Swordsman, wandering around. Sees two old elders, they come from two worlds on one mountain. Note: On this mountain there are like 7 clans or tribes. (Swordsman/KungFu Hun Dynasty like/WomanMonks/ShaolinMonks/a leader with a changing face when in battle people/...) These two elders are writing a music book together. Ok, he helps them in trouble or something? Meets this witch swordstress that rocks pretty hard, but thinks she's a popo or lulu (grandma styles). He goes back to his master, but master mad that he hung out with the evil ones, per their POV. So then they banish him into solitude for a year in this cave. In the cave the Masters daughter comes to be cute with him all the time, bringing lunch and laughter. She goes back down to spar with a guy that lost his dad, but his dad gave him a book or some knowledge that all the mountain is in a brouhaha about. Back to the main dude...he's up there all bored. Stumbles across secret room with writings on the wall. Old man Elder that looks like Saruman from LOTR busts some crazy Martial moves on him. He learns from this wisecat. Now he gots crazy powers. Comes out of seclusion only to be the outcast of his own master by the masters jealous teenage-like fit. So all these side wars are going on during the story, and after many hours. This must have been a TV show or something in China. Titled 'Something?? Beautiful Song? or something?' I remember asking Uncle Joe about it, and he murmured it, but he's being sly now when I told him I want it in English Subtitles. So the question being. Where can I find this DVD Collection in English Subtitles? Basic concept of the story is that, and I haven't finished watching this warped translated version at my Uncles yet, Swordsman is the Key to this Mountain world/nation. All these feuds are to be quelled by his mastery of martial arts. I'm guessing, they will always be at war, but with him as the heart of the mountain they will live harmoniously? Maybe? Like, he's the only one in the story that isn't in search of mad power and glory, he's just a plain ole' servant. But of course, life is so-called unfair, and the ones that want don't get, and the ones that do not care do get. This is just speculation on the ending..still trying to decipher. Thank you for your time in this. --the void
