The Chargers originated in Los Angeles in 1960. At that time, the Los Angeles Dodgers had a fan chant in which a recorded bugle sound played "Da da da DA da daaaaaa" and the crowd would respond with, "Charge!".

Hi all you history buffs; This is a tough one . When I was in college a few millenium ago, I took a History of Religions course . In this course the professor told us that the Hanseatic trade league had persuaded( Bribed) one of the Popes to decree that on fast days meat was not allowed to be eaten and that fish should be put in its place. Fish was one of the main trading products of the league. We all know that fish are definetley part of the christian faith , ever since the loaves and fishes on the mount and Peters Gig as a Fisherman. My question to you is have their been any Papal or Church Bulls or decrees or treaties specifically made with the Hanseatic Trade League concerning fish trade and have their been any decrees by the Church requiring Christians to eat fish on Fast days? I have been trying to find an answer to this question for years and have only found one reference to Papal decree That christians should eat fish on Fridays and it had no specifific details. Thanks gang Dennis Nigrelli GOOD LUCK on this one:)

If you clean your teeth real well, is there really a need for Dentists? Why can't regular doctors learn oral surgery?
Teeth cleaning may reduce frequency of caries but does not prevent all dental problems and their are many other things that can happen to your teeth. The separation of dentistry from surgery and medical practice is partly a matter of historical contingency. In the Middle Ages physicians were distinct from barber- surgeons who also performed surgical and dental procedures. Between 1300 and 1600, haircutting and dentistry became separated from surgery because people tended to specialize in one of the activities. After about 1800, surgery became a part of medical practice. The basic science training of physicians and dentists is similar but has become part of training only in the last century (the split predates it). The other main historical reason is the dentistry is also a craft of manual skills relatively easy to separate from those needed for surgery or medical practice. A lot of dental school is learning the manual craft and it would add a couple of years to medical school to teach physicians to do this. Especially for manual skills like surgery and dentistry, you want someone to do it a lot to be good at it. Finally, as Nunh-hunh says, there are oral surgeons who got there through dental school (DDS) and those who got there through medical school (MD). alteripse 09:19, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

my biology teacher told us that it is possible (but rare) to have XXXY as your chromosomes instead of the usual XY or XX... is this true and how is that possible? does the person have any genetic complications because of this and what are they then..because the 'XX' part is female and 'XY' is male so wouldnt they be male and female at the same time???
can someone explain it or give a website that does? thanks! Kattus 12:13, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
How does it happen? We think that at an early stage of zygote development, when chromosomes duplicate and separate into 2 cells, the separation failed to occur, leaving the surviving cells with one or more extra chromosomes. This is called nondisjunction. The reason the effects are so minimal for the people with multiple X (compared with having multiple copies of chromosome 21 or 1, for example), is that the second (and any excess beyond 2) X chromosome in mammals is mostly inactivated ( Lyonization) in most cells most of life and therefore causes relatively little trouble. Whether one is male depends (over 99% of the time) on whether one has a functioning Y chromosome. The number of X chromosomes does not matter: both males and females have X chromosomes. You can have 1 X or 5 X chromosomes and you will be female as long as you do not have a functioning Y. See sex differentiation for more details. alteripse 17:58, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Besides the seven services listed, why aren't the many other uniformed services of the United States listed? For example, within the United States Department of the Interior there are uniformed members of the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In the United States Department of Agriculture there are uniformed members of the United States Forest Service (several different types of Park Rangers, for instance). Perhaps other operating units of the DOI and USDA also have uniformed members. Perhaps other U.S. Cabinet-level departments have uniformed members as well. Why are none of these uniformed services of the United States listed? Is it simply because they are not military(naval)-ranked like the NOAA Commissioned Corps or the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps? Is it because they don't operate under military rules? (If so, shouldn't the title "Uniformed services of the United States" be qualified by some statement that indicates this limitation to the definition?) Or is there some other distinction? Courtneymitchell 13:49, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
Thanks, I'm new to this process and appreciate the kindness. What a remarkable phenomenon is Wikipedia! I'm still interested in the other U.S. services that use uniforms such as the U. S. Park Service Park Rangers, the United States Park Police, USDA Forest Service rangers, Game Wardens, the United States Border Patrol, etc., their corresponding pay rates and rankings. The seven military services articles were very satisfying in scope and thoroughness. I'm still looking for something comparable for the other uniformed services, some of whom have extensive military training, carry weapons and put their life on the line every day.
Also of interest is the appearance of CIA operatives in Naval uniforms within the popular culture in such movies as "The Hunt for Red October" and "Clear and Present Danger". Is this a real practice and does it come from a reason to protect them against being captured as spies in a similar manner that was given for uniforming a non-military service such as the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (in Wikipedia's ariticle Uniformed services of the United States)?

thanks!
In reality you can be pro-active when selecting an inkjet printer and research the most economical inkjet printer type to purchase. Most printers sell for almost nothing to purchase but the manufacturer makes up the loss with the selling of inkjet cartridges.
There are 2 Manufacturers that make products that have 3rd party inkjet cartridge suppliers. They are Canon and Epson.
Canon has printers that support larger cartridges (The BCI 3 and 6 Series)
The Back holds 30 ml and the Color are 15 ml each.
Epson comes a close second where they have cartridges (T044 Series)
The Back holds 13 ml and the Color are 17 ml each. (IF you purchase a Pinter that also can support the (T0431 cartridge) it holds 30 ml also.)
HP , Dell and Lexmark sell printers that have the Head Mechanics built in and as a result sell only much higher priced replacement cartridges.
Next is to select a reputable 3rd party supplier like Metawatch Inkjet Supplies
They offer free delivery to your door, for any purchase over $50.00 and have the best prices I could find anywhere in Canada.
So Inkjets can be cheap if you take your time and shop around. (Remember its not the purchase price that is the most important thing to remember but the total cost of ownership)

It depends on how you define energy. By most definitions any drink with any amount of calories can be described as an energy drink. I assume this drink has plenty of sugar. Whether you would be better off with a can of coke depends on the relative costs and your taste preference.

i have been reseraching material for a book on me during the Blitz of Plymouth. You are incorrect on the number of people for a shelter. Each sheet of metal was multiplied accourding to who were to use it. One adult & 2 children equaled ONLY 2 sheets deep! Two adults or more, 3 sheets.
Father away in the Navy, so the two sheet deep size was our lot! Floor was wood made by grandfather to keep out the damp. A FULL SIZE DOUBLE MATRESS FITTED PERFECTLY ON THE FLOOR. My father cut a naval hammock into two & hooked to the length of the 2 sheets. We swayed as the gun vibrations from antaircraft weapons fired from local park.

Years ago I read a story about Noah's Ark and the Unicorn. In a nutshell, it was about Noah rounding up all the animals and seeing the unicorn in the distance, and every day that went by, he'd round up more animals but the unicorn would never come close. In the end, the "legend" says that the reason why unicorns are no longer around is because he chose to stay in that world than face this one. Noah was never really able to convince the unicorn to come aboard. It's such a cute story, but I can't remember either the title or the author. Has anyone read it? Does anyone know who the author is or what the story is titled? Vanessa

Man Utd's purchase of Bryan Robson (£1.5m) in 1981 took the record. But the next 'record signing' I could find was Roy Keane (£3.5m) in 1993, and there must have been a £2m player between 1981 and 1993.

Why are Japanese ppl so tiny?
Two weeks ago I bought myself a pet cockatiel... I love my pet but I'm trying to train him and I've read repeatedly in several webpages that the first thing one must do is clip a bird's wings. Although I find this a cruel thing to do, I am thinking of taking him to a vet and having his wings clipped. How often should this be done though? How long before they "grow back"? Also, is it something I can do myself? I think it'd be a good idea to take him to a vet first to have it done professionally, but can I learn to do it myself or is it too risky?

The information I have is this: She married Thomas, she fell in love with a footman/soldier, Thomas learned this and killed the footman, buried him outside the castle wihout telling her, she died and haunted the castle (grey lady? Louisa?), Thomas moved away to escape her ghost, was then buried in the same cemetary as his victim.
I think this is somewhere in Westminster or Glastonbury.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Thomas (Thynne), 2nd Viscount Weymouth, and his wife Louisa née Carteret. We find the story, a bit mangled,
here: "In Southwestern England the 16th century Longleat house stands. A ghost story is told here. Thomas the Second of Viscount, married Louisa Carteret. He was as evil as she was sweet. He suspected her of having an affair with a footman and murdered him with the help of two servants, and hid the body. Louisa died not long after, they claimed, of a broken heart. Thomas started to see her ghost, smell her perfume, and watch as things would move on their own-he fled in fear and never returned. People thought it was just a legend even though her ghost was seen countless times by many. Three centuries later, workmen dug up some flag stones and found a corpse dressed in 18th century attire. The legend was proven to be true. They buried him in a graveyard not far from the house, and from the tomb of Thomas. Murderer and victim together for all eternity. "The Gray Lady of Louisa" as she is now called, still haunts the house to this very day."
- Nunh-huh 02:00, 1 October 2005 (UTC)"Longleat, the residence of the Marquess of Bath, has been haunted for many many years. It is said that his ancestor, Thomas Thynne, 2nd Viscount Weymouth, had fought a duel in a passage at the top of the house with an unknown man, who was rumoured to be his wife's lover. He killed this man, and had him buried in the cellars of Longleat. The passage where the duel is said to have been fought is now known as 'The Green Lady's walk', and is said to have been haunted by the spirit of Lady Louisa Carteret, wife of this 2nd Viscount Weymouth. When central heating was put into Longleat, during the 5th Marquess's lifetime, the body of a man was found buried in the cellars. He was wearing jackboots, which crumbled away as soon as the body was exposed to the air. Lady Louisa Carteret, Viscountess Weymouth, died aged about twenty-two, after three-and-a-half years of marriage and nine days after the birth of a child. It was rumoured that Viscount Weymouth nearly ruined himself and his two sisters by his extravagance after the death of his wife."

They will come back next year as the queen will hibernate and keep a group or dormant eggs with her. It will be easier to remove in the winter because of decreased activity though. Purpose built bee/wasp removal systems sold at hardware stores do a good job of killing enough bees that you can safely remove the nest without getting stung. Also, make sure that these are indeed bees and not Yellowjackets or Hornets as these will stay alive year-round and just huddle together for warmth. Removing one of these nests is very dangerous. - Drdisque 22:42, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Actually, Buffalo doesn't get as much snow as you would think. I lived south of Syracuse for the better half of 6 yeas before going to school in Alabama, then BACK to Buffalo for the last two years, and it's more artic winds and cold weather than snow. We have our crazy storms (like most of the eastern north states), but on average, about 100-120 inches, with 50-60" of that coming in December and January. The reason why Buffalo get's less than let's say Fabius, New York or Tully, NY (belt way) or even Oswego for that matter, is because we are BETWEEN the lakes vs. right on the edge like Rochester, NY and the other towns I mentioned get the drift snow bands that come over the lakes that carry across the area.
The winds come from a slight SE direction from the Ontraio region across the lakes and the snow travels NORTH and SOUTH of Buffalo, but rarely does it dump directly on the city itself. Buffalo, NY will receive less snow by probably about a third than Amherst, NY (biggest town outside of Buffalo - 20m drive) or towns south of here. Please mind, that sometimes you just can't avoid the snow, and about twice a year we get a 2 day storm that blows 10-14" but the road crews are amazingly good at cleaning the roads, and as they say in Buffalo, "If you don't like the weather, then wait a minute." Excuse the crazy storm that you saw on October 13, 2006. Fluke and has never happened here before like that and so early.

Finally, a question in a specialist area of mine! There's no single reason. One is that they are very busy (or maintain they are), so will write as quickly as possible, to save time. Another (less frequently mentioned nowadays) is that they don't like their patients actually being able to read what they've been prescribed, and so will make the docket as indecipherable as possible. A third is that doctors, more than any other group of workers, are prone to intellectual elitism (ever see a gang of junior doctors sashaying along with their stethoscopes flung raffishly around their necks? They're all playing the music from Reservoir Dogs in their heads)), and like to have their own private 'code' that only their fellow doctors can decipher. Proto t c 13:35, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

More specifically, I currently in the process of implementing a new document storage database to store new and existing electronic files and need to develop a clear and concise file naming system using hierarchical groupings of categories and subcategories. These categories and subcategories are only two of several attributes being used within the database to describe each document and are only intended to create general document classifications for search and retrieval.
Following are a few examples of categories and subcategories to help better understand the type of naming convention I am considering:
Contracts: lump sum, T&M, GMP, change order, change request, etc. Purchasing: work order, purchase requisition, purchase order, invoice, bid, etc. Funding/Budgets: estimate, budget, funding request, etc. Drawing: elevation, floor plan, section, detail, etc.
Any assistance or ideas would be greatly appreciated. -- 131.215.151.157 05:42, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

It is the 'EC Directive on Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours', implemented in the UK on 01/01/1993. It lays down regulations controlling the sale and performance of holiday packages sold or offered for sale. Packages are defined as the pre-arranged combination of at least two of; transport, accommodation, or other tourist services not in addition to transport or accommodation and accounts for a significant proportion of the package; when sold or offered for sale at an inclusive price and when the service covers a period of 24 hours or more or includes overnight accommodation:
It sets down information which must be given to the customer before a contract is concluded & terms which must be included in that contract. It also places a strict liability on the organiser/retailer of the package holiday for the proper performance of the obligations under the contract, regardless of whether they are to be provided by the organiser or by another.

Bank cubic metres (bcm) is a term used in the mining industry for the volume of rock, ore, waste material etc moved by trucks, loaders, shovels and the like. I would like to know how the formula is derived and what 1 bcm actually is as a comparative measure. i.e. what is the definition/formula? Is there a website someone can direct me to for further info? I have done numerous searches on the net and come across mining pages with the terms 'bcm' and 'bank cubic metres', but nothing with an actual explanation of the term.

this one deals specifically with this issue.
Yo this is "Life". i am from miami i went to famu and learn alot out of school i started to lost focus. i am a rider for the cause now, but anyway here my question how or what type of questions do dead prez ask the I ching as a black male, to help make money or any questions that dead prez might ask the i Ching. i have been using the i ching for atlease 6 months.
i am sorry my wording is not perfect i was talking about Dead Prez Stic And M-1. They are the nain reason i went out and purchase the I ching so i was just wondering what type of questions they would ask.
They do seem to have something to do with the iching though... the I Ching article says Dead Prez - an activist hip-hop group that refer to the I Ching in several of their songs. To them, the I Ching represents the change they want to bring about through revolution. The symbol in their logo is the seventh hexagram, sze, which represents an army - the "people's army".
Pygmies are said to be about four feet in height (give or take). Midgets, who, from what I gather, are simply well-proportioned -- head-to-body -- dwarfs, can be as small as three feet tall. My question is whether there are any pygmies who are also midgets. Because if there were they would have to be extremely small. There may be some genetic reason why pygmies never suffer from dwarfism and hence some reason why there are no pygmy midgets. Just a thought.
Eugene Valberg [e-mail address removed]
From a medical perspective:
Specific replies to your questions. You make at least 2 unwarranted assumptions. First that other forms of dwarfism do not occur in pygmies. Do you have any evidence of this? As there are hundreds of types of dwarfism and a large share of many types occur due to new mutation, it would imply that the pygmies are somehow resistant to mutation. If true, it would be a discovery that would transcend entirely the issues of height. The second false assumption would be the resultant height on a pygmy who had dwarfism. It is not unusual for more than one type of shortness to occur in a child. The resultant effect is not multiplicative and is usually less than additive, as if some of the result was overlapping or redundant. alteripse 00:15, 5 October 2005 (UTC) alteripse 21:33, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

As far as I can determine from the
World War I article, the war was primarily a European one. The
United States didn't play much of a role in it. The War was ended after the signing of the
Armistice and the
Treaty of Versailles (the latter was never officially ratified by the US). They're biggest involvement was that they declared war on
Austria-Hungary on
December 7,
1917. So I'd say they added to the war continuing rather than it ending. -

I have to agree with the offence against Wicca, The Mormon Church, The Unification Church, some Islamic Sect or otherwise. The only issue of a group/religion that I could possibly hold against is if they believed in human sacrifices as a regular part of their practiced beliefs. I do believe that there are groups that are interested in killing people but for the most part I can not think of any organized group that has a purpose to kill human beings. Not anything in the same general groups as aforementioned. Most groups that are out there to kill another human being are often coming from a political stand point and any religious reference to their cause is commonly not a direct component to the religion. I think it is a sad moment when someone can be so closed minded to other groups that do not force us or other individuals on how their existence in this life is or can be. They have just as much right to exist, live and practice their beliefs and you/I do/can. I am thinking from a current stand point view with out any regard to any historical reference. How we are today I think is an important point of reference. At least when dealing with the reference of whom to support when dealing with a modern issue. Such as which and what web site to be used or support. I do have to admit that I am prejudice against ignorant people. 67.183.190.153Mary 67.183.190.153

I need help finding the "secret areas" used for unlocking multiplayer deathmatch levels in the game Hamsterball. Post the areas you found here, first the level, then where to find it. Please help I'm addicted to this game but I can't find the multiplayer levels, I found one accidentally but can't find any others.
Expert: This happens after the second set of strong fans. You go down a ramp towards the camera, then go down another ramp away from the camera, but before you go down that second ramp, run off the corner with your hamster/hamsterball, in the middle of the two ramps, and you should float on a grey square with a lock on it. Roll over the little grey square and it will turn red, unlocking the multiplayer deathmatch level "Expert".
Note: You must be playing a tournament on normal or frenzied mode to even be able to see the square, if not, you're just waisting your time. ( Then again, everyone that plays this game is sort of just waisting their time. )

For the curly hair a good thing is john frieda's Frizzease. Put a dollop about a quarter size on wet hair and put through and let dry natural. For the straight hair short cuts are great. Look at Keira Knightley in the movie Dominoe - thats a good cut.
Have you considered consulting one of the teen magazines, or maybe Cleo, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Vogueor Harper's Bazaar?

2) restrictions on directors of non-profits in using what employees write and putting their own names on it as the authors of it.
3) restrictions non-profits put on employees in the conflict of interest area, keeping those employees from speaking and publishing on material that they develop a) outside of that non-profit b) within that non-profit c) both outside and within that non-profit at the same time

Hello! I wonder if someone can advise me about how to look after about 150 guava seedlings, from 6"-12" tall, and any ideas about what to do with the surplus, there is obviously a slight problem with space for the developing orchard! If I keep potting them on until they are a manageable height, then pinch out the growing tips would that limit their growth? The books say they will fruit within 2-4 years, given that I provide the right temperatures can I hope for fruit? Then, there is the slightly smaller problem, (in that there are only 100 of them)of mystery plants from Cyprus, evergreen leaves, reminiscent of carob trees but the germination rate was too high. My mumblings about a tropical area in the garden with undersoil heating and winter protection fall on deaf ears!! Then there's the morning glory which escaped through the conservatory roof and was last seen heading for the sky at a rate of knots, am I really going to have to wrap the whole of the back of the house in bubble wrap? You probably realise that I'm squeamish about killing things, epecially since I grew and raised them, so the obvious answers such as "Pull them up!" don't apply. Trivial, in the light of the world situation, I know, but it's my little bit of it. Thank you 195.93.21.36 11:22, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Why do grown up men rape and murder innocent children?
Unfortunately the mental illness explanation is simply a tautology, as is evident when stripped to its essentials: "only a mentally ill person would do that, therefore anyone who does that is mentally ill." If you look for other evidence of mental illness besides raping other people (of any sex or age), the majority have none. It is sadly within the repertoire of "normal" human behaviors and is better understood as evil than ill. alteripse 19:58, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
Following is respectful disagreement. You are free to use another word than evil, though it is the traditional one applied when a human being deliberately chooses to cause this type of harm to another, especially as a direct and personal interaction. I would offer two perspectives that do not support your view. First, around the world today and for most of recorded history, rape and killing of women and children occurs frequently in a setting of ethnic conflict or social enforcement, not as an aberrant and solitary behavior. Obviously in such cases, it is not accurate to say that raping and killing women and children is universally condemned, because groups of people do it and justify it. I contend that such group behavior even more deserves the label of evil than of illness. My second objection to your argument is that it deprives the perpetrator of the assumption of moral agency and responsibility. No matter what word you prefer over evil, one of the principal differences between calling these acts evil and calling them sick is whether you think the perpetrator can be held morally and criminally responsible. How can you possibly advocate simple vengeful punishment for someone who did this from an illness? How many hospitals, physicians, or therapists are claiming to be able to cure this behavior? Do you believe them? Finally, what are the implications of your absolution for our treatment of children who have been sexually abused? Do we then hang a "watch him" sign around his neck? Should we forbid him contact with children when he gets older, or is he, like a dog, allowed one bite? Because if a high proportion of sexually abused children grow up to be abusers, your argument is strong, but it also justifies pre-emptive measures. On the other hand, if only a small proportion of abused children grow up to be abusers and vast majority do not, your argument has poor explanatory power and does not counter the moral agency assumption. Which way do you want it? alteripse 00:01, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Although we may not have hugely different opinions, I think there are at least three advantages to retaining the term and concept of evil in this context. First, as you mention, it reduces the temptation to frame such behavior in illness terms or other justifications. Second, it connects the person contemplating it to the millennia of previous human attempts to understand and deal with this type of behavior. Third, it unequivocally affirms condemnation. Also (I just caught this)-- I did not explain that such acts were done because of evil, which of course is no explanation. Rather, that attempts to explain this behavior were in my opinion the same as attempts to understand evil behavior, not sick behavior. alteripse 00:43, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Can a country Bomb both sides if it doesn't agree with either side of a war?
Three-sided wars are rather rare. In the later stages of World War II in Eastern Europe there were several three-sided struggles between Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and some third parties caught in the middle, for example the Polish Armia Krajowa and the anti-communist Russian Liberation Army. In Yugoslavia there was fighting between the Chetniks, Partisans and Nazi Germany (though maybe not at the same time?). In China there was a 3-sided war in the 1940s between the Kuomingtang, the Communist Party of China and the Empire of Japan. Gdr 20:29, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

ARE THERE ANY CITIES THAT HAVE EXISTED SINCE PRE-HISTORIC TIMES
Existed as a city, as a town, or simply as an inhabited place? Jericho is probably a contender for longest town at the same site, and dates back before historical records. For several large cities, it is likely that the area was inhabited before historical records: this is likely true of Athens, Rome, Paris, London, and many others. In fact any old city without a historical record of its founding meets the definition of being a "pre-historic" settlement before it was a "historic" town. So the short answer, is many. alteripse 17:19, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Why would a ten year old girl who just started her menstral 2 months ago have such heavy monthly bleeding and blood clots during her cycle? what is tha a sign of?
The explanation is likely one of the following four things.
The first possibility is by far the most likely. If the bleeding stops in less than 9 days, and most of those days she uses less than 10 pads I would recommend waiting a couple more months to see if the problem takes care of itself. It probably will. (On the other hand, this is just free advice based on some guesses; if the flow is a lot heavier than that or she is having other symptoms, have your doctor check a CBC to be sure she is not losing too much blood). There are simple things that can be done to stop a period if there is a dangerous amount of blood loss. alteripse 04:08, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Also note that many industries use caps. Draftsmen have traditionally used all caps in many cases, as they reproduce better when copied. FORTRAN and BASIC programmers traditionally used all caps, too, although this has reduced in recent times. Labels for file folders and signs are frequently all caps, too. Many people may just feel that case is a silly thing to worry about, as the case of a word rarely changes it's meaning. These people are just as likely to use all lowercase:

Let's say a commercial flight is headed from Los Angeles to Sydney. Somewhere in the last five hours of the flight it runs into a storm and disappears without a trace. Air traffic controllers in Sydney (and any Pacific islands in the area like Fiji or New Caledonia) can't contact it.
Now, let's say that the same plane appeared in the skies 24 hours later, exactly where it had disappared - still en route to Australia. Of course, it should have crashed long ago by running out of fuel. Not to mention, where has it been for the last day?
The pilots make contact with Sydney's airport and inform traffic controllers that as they headed into the storm, they lost consciousness, along with everyone else on the plane. Then they reawoke to find that it was the next day, and they were in the exact same spot. They request permission to continue and land at Sydney.
What do the air traffic guys in charge at Sydney airport say?

>>> def transform (txt, word): start = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z"] for a in range (0, len(word)): start.remove(word[a]) trans = list (word) while (len(start)>0): trans.append(start[0]) del start [0] start = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z"] ret = "" lst = list (txt) while (len(lst) > 0): ret += trans[start.index(lst[0])] del lst[0] return ret >>> q = "UGEFXYPWMB".swapcase() >>> q 'ugefxypwmb' >>> transform(q, "zebra") >>> transform(q, "doug") 'tcabxynwko' >>> transform(q, "yak") 'tecdwxovla'
Clearly, it is not a caeser cypher using those three words. →Raul654 05:35, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

I used to watch the saturday afternoon movie show and they had these hooror movies that were great. I am looking for three.
One-Dont know the title but remember there was huge mushroom cloud in the beginning and then sometime later there is a woman who hears a churchbell only to find out its a skeleton hanging on the pulley. The last thing I remember is she has a baby who dies.
Two-A girl goes to find her father on a bus in the forest which is attacked by creatures. She gets to the house and it seems like there is vampires there. at the end she is in a hayloft with a guy and bites him on the neck.
Three- All I remember about this movie is that it had zombies with dark circles for eyes. One of them gets run over and stands up and some normal people put one in some sort of tank and examine it.
Help me find these movies!

I haven't read the other answers, but the most important thing for a beginner is to have a guitar that can be tuned well. You'd be surprised how many impure guitars there are. Every individual guitar is different. If all the guitars in a series are good then a specific one will also be, but lacking such info you'd better not buy without having someone knowledgeable with a good hearing (those are also spread thin) test it.

Could a hurricane hit NEW YORK like HURRICANE KATRINA hit NEW ORLEANS
The likelihood of such an event is very minimal. Strong hurricanes (category 3 and above) require very warm water to maintain their strength and the water that far north, even during a warm summer isn't warm enough. However, Category 1 and 2 Hurricanes can and have hit locations that far north and caused significant problems. See the article on Hurricanes for mor information. Also, New York is not built below sea level so it could never flood like New Orleans did. - Drdisque 21:34, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
There has been some talk about this recently in the city. If a large hurricane (like a 3, which seems to be the largest reasonable size) were to hit New York City, Lower Manhattan, Coney Island, the Rockaways, and much of Staten Island could all face severe flooding, and there are plans for a potential evacuation of these areas.-- Pharos 09:39, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Lots of answers, but here is a different one. This is an example of a semantic paradox. It is created by a linguistic operation but does not reflect a real world operation or situation. All of the resolutions involve intellectual manipulations of definitions. Sometimes pondering such a paradox gives you insight into other problems, but essentially there is no right answer that can be confirmed by reality testing. It is in the same class of conundra on which the scholastic philosophers expended so much effort, now often caricatured as debates over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin (since angels take up no physical space but the point has not space either.

Doylestown is basically directly north of Philly and the airport is directly south. Although 611 goes straight through town to Doylestown, see below for cautions. I would recommend you go around to the west, then north, then north east, or around to the east, then north, then northwest. In terms of traffic and ease of finding the exits and turns, I would probably take the western route, which is roughly:
Caution: it does look from the map that you could take 611 N from just east of the airport straight north through downtown Philly and on to Doylestown, but traffic by that route is awful, it goes straight through N Philly areas that are "less than scenic", and it doesnt show well on the map but at the northern edge of philly there is a fork and short discontinuity where it is easy to lose your way trying to stay on 611. alteripse 00:53, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

how do i catch a cricket in a very small room keeping mum awake most of night thankyou ,
Dorothy -- 211.27.77.223 06:44, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
I've used the same method to kill both crickets and mice, both of which hide and go silent when lights are turned on or they hear movement. (I believe roaches are the same, though, fortunately, I haven't had those.) Neither one is very bright, so think you've left after the light goes out and the room goes silent. So, just wait by the light switch until they come out and start making noise, then turn the lights on and kill them (or capture them if you're in a humane mood, which wasn't me after being kept up half the night). If the light switch is too far from their location, a bright electric flashlight could be used instead. StuRat 15:14, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Under the sub-heading "Trivia" in the article on the 2005 movie Fever Pitch, there is the information that the film's ending was rewritten several times to incorporate the fact that the Red Sox, the sports team fetured in the film, actually were baseball's champions in the season the story portrays. The love story juxtaposed so well with the actual events of the 2004 playoffs (e.g., after believing their relationship is over, the couple finally fall in love once in for all just as the Red Sox begin their improbable comeback after losing the first three games of their playoff series against the Yankees) that it seems hard to imagine this could have been the same movie if it hadn't been set against the events that really took place in October 2004. What was originally planned as the movie's ending--with both the love story and the events surrounding the baseball team?
In the bio on Ghost Rider, it states that Danny Ketch died. I was wondering how this happened and what comic book this event took place.
In the opening credits of the US comedy show " Police Squad!" one of the jokes was "and starring Rex Hamilton as Abraham Lincoln" who then starts having a gunfight presumably with John Wilkes Booth.

WHAT IS A MERCHANT MARINE.
Dear Administrator:
Sincerely, William Koss
Is there any law against burying a human in a cardboard box? (in the United States of America) I heard that some people are buying cardboard boxes and then the whole family decorates it together. But I wouldn't want to be cremated but instead buried in the cardboard box. Is that okay? Thanks
(email removed: questions are answered here, and leaving your email may lead to spam)
See the Federal Trade Commission's So you're buying a funeral? page. Before there was federal regulation, people would get ripped off by funeral directors who lied to them, telling them they were required to purchase embalming and/or espensive coffins. For "direct burial" or "direct cremation", you certainly can get by with a plain wooden box; I imagine it would take some rather hefty cardboard to transport a body in. Nonetheless, "For those who choose a direct cremation without a viewing or other ceremony where the body is present, the funeral provider must offer an inexpensive unfinished wood box or alternative container, a non-metal enclosure - pressboard, cardboard or canvas - that is cremated with the body." Funeral homes are required to use the container you purchase, and you don't have to purchase it from them. I think a pine box might be a better bet than cardboard for burial, though. And cemeteries can still require a "grave liner", so the answer to your question depends on the answer to "burying a human where?". (The image of a family decorating a cardboard box to bury someone in is odd to me. I keep thinking of gluing little macaroni shells to it and spray painting it gold.... I mean...what's the decoration for? But to each his own.) Hope the link helps. - Nunh-huh 02:00, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi Folks, I have this 1938 Gold All Star Baseball Medal that I just can't seem to find anything about?. I thought you might be able to help me out with some information on it?. I have contacted "LELANDS" And Keith wrote back and said it just might be a Minor League Medal? But didn't really know!. I have sent emails to the Major League White Sox's Organization, And they said that there was NO information about this medal in their archives, And they also think this is a Minor League Medal?. I have emailed a Jpeg to the Minor League Teams, and NO one there has ever heard of it?. I have also contacted Freddy Berowski Library Research Associate National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum, And he said that it was very interesting! But they have nothing like it in their collection! and that I should try a Local Chicago Historic Association!. I know this is a shot in the dark, BUT I was hoping that you just might have some Information on this medal?. I have emailed Dorothy Z. Seymour, Harold Seymour's Widow, and she seemed to think that this might have been a White Sox sponsored event in which the Big League Clubs offered some sponsorship the city leagues. Dorothy also said that you were the people that were most likely to have any information on it! I would REALLY appreciate any help you could provide me with!.

My impression is that while, in France, alcohol consumption does not have the stigma it may have in the US (where many people associate it with public drunkenness and disorderly conduct), drinking in the morning is generally associated with drunkards — people who are psychologically or physically addicted to alcohol and cannot even wait for lunch to get their first shot of alcohol.

I have watched Formula 1 since 1994 and the lights have not changed significantly since then. Basically a series of red lights (i believe 5) go on in sequence and when they go out, the cars can go.

Is it true that Calstate is better than UC for its undergraduate programs? Because I heard UC doesn't offer "learning by doing" experience as much as Calstate, especially Calpoly.
An engineering faculty from CSULA (who visited my campus, MTSAC) even went further & said that UC put undergrad on backseat; I realized that his opinion might be biased, but can someone please enlighten me?
My landlord, who graduated from UCLA with Bachelor in EE, clarified those rumors, and said that he didn't get too many "hands-on" experience from his school, he also mentioned about this TA (Teaching Assistant) thing, which further discouraged me, since I want to be taught by professor, not some undergrad & grad students.
I'm well aware that UC is, of course, more prestigious than Calstate, but after listening to those statements, it's kinda make me want to transfer to Calpoly, instead of UC.

Is it possible to "pop your cheek" if you push the air out of your mouth hard enough?
It would only be possible if you somehow sealed your lips, they cannot hold nearly as much pressure as your skin. Also, the chest muscles that expel air from your lungs aren't nearly strong enough to create the pressure needed. If you had an outside source (like a compressor) pressurizing your lungs, I'm even inclined to think your lungs would rupture first. - Drdisque 01:12, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Why are most of the planets on a seemingly "flat" orbit. Why aren't any planets at say at a rotation of 90 degrees from earth for example.
The orbits of the planets are coplanar because during the Solar System's formation, the planets formed out of a disk of dust which surrounded the sun. Becuase that disk of dust was a disk, all in a plane, all of the planets formed in a plane as well. Rings and disks are common in astronomy. When a cloud collapses, the conservation of angular momentum causes amplifies the spin of the cloud. As the cloud spins faster and faster, it collapses into a disk, which is the maximal balance between gravitational collapse and centrifugal force created by rapid spin. The result is the coplanar planets, the thin disks of spiral galaxies, and the accretion disks around black holes.

Part of the problem is that American usage of the term "city" is different from usage in other English-speaking countries.

They do include trace amounts of alcohol and if he is on medication that reacts with alcohol it may make him sick. It also depends on the things he associates with drinking. If the taste or smell of beer reminds of him drinking, it may cause him to regress into his old habits. - Drdisque 21:18, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
what is the largest city in the world.
It somewhat depends on how you measure it. The population of Tokyo is around 35 million people, compared with 17,809,471 for Greater Mexico City and about 18 million people in the São Paulo metropolitan area (up to 24 million depending on how it is defined):

is a salt mine just as dangerous as a coal mine.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says:
Coal mining -- 5.7 injuries per year per 100 workers
"Other nonmetallic mineral mining and quarrying" (includes salt mines) -- 3.7 injuries per year per 100 workers
The most-dangerous industry category? Bottled-water manufacturing -- 16.7. The safest? Investment banking and securities dealing -- 0.2.
Mwalcoff 01:49, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
I agree that coal mines are intrinsically more dangerous, due to coal dust causing black lung disease as well as the other factors mentioned. One danger of salt mines is that they are often shallow and near bodies of water (having been deposited there by the body of water), and are thus susceptible to flooding. However, the statisitcs show they are still safer than coal mines. StuRat 01:32, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
What is the purpose of the people in the center of the circle at the U.N. Security Council.
As a follow on from the question further up the page, what are the largest international scheduled events both in terms of participation and worldwide media interest? The Football world cup is apparently the largest sporting event. In terms of political events I'd say the United States presidential election is the biggest in terms of media interest, but the Indian parliamentary elections are probably the biggest participatory political event. Is the biggest religeous event the Hajj? I can't think of a non-political, non-sporting and non-religeous event bigger than the Eurovision Song Contest but there must be something bigger? Particularly with a larger participation if you don't count the phone-voting as participating in it? Thryduulf 10:12, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I am 48 years old and been a smoker since 1978.After I was diognosed as diabetic (I was also over weight)in 2003, I embarked on a exercise programme (Jogging).Within 4 months, I shed the extra body weight and got in shape. Within 6 months I was completely off my medication for Diabetics and Cholestrol. These are medical facts and cannot be disputed. I have continued running (jogging) eversince and would like to admit I have been continuing smoking. I have reached a stage now that I am able to run 12 to 15 kilometres every day and I look fit. I am convinced that smoking moderately does not cause any more harm than drinking a litre of Full cream milk. I would like you to guide me how to go about telling my side of story about smoking . I strongly feel the governments and Media demonise smoking and in my opinion,highly exagerated. My e-mail id (rem) . Please contact me regards Sampath T.Chary

Why does a 20 oz bottle of soda cost more than a 2 liter bottle?
Bought in the same market, they usually do not cost more. However, it usually comes down to demand, there is just as much demand for a 20 oz refrigerated bottle that you can easily carry and drink out of than an unrefrigerated 2L that is unwieldy to carry and is considered uncouth to drink from - Drdisque 22:52, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
I think too that it seems absurd, and have thought the same thing myself! I believe that a 2 l bottle costs less (in the U.S.) because Americans have come to expect that a 2 l should be around a buck, and the soft drink industry is extremely competitive. 20 oz. bottles are relatively new to the market and started around a buck. 20 oz bottles are very profitible to American gas station owners. However, when I studied in Germany, I noticed that the .5 l (=20 oz) plastic bottle costs considerably less than the 1.5 l (they don't even have a 2 l of Coke), and the 1.5 cost well over $2.

How can one detect a bootleg CD? My problem is that I ordered a used copy of Uprising by Bob Marley and the Wailers. It arrived today, and there are some tell-tale signs that make me suspect it's a bootleg. First, it came shrinkwrapped, but there was no plastic peel-off seal on the top like with new CDs. But that's understandable; many businesses own shrinkwrapping machines. Second, there are no liner notes -- just a flimsy piece of paper with artwork on one side. I am unable to find out whether Uprising is supposed to have liner notes or not, though. Last, the CD itself looks suspicious -- it's yellow with blue text at the bottom that looks like it came off of a cheap dot-matrix printer. On the other hand, when I put the disc into my computer, iTunes accesses the CD Database and finds the tracks. Does this sound like a bootleg? Or does someone have a copy of Uprising they can compare with my description? Thanks . . . . -- BrianSmithson 21:44, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

[RE: Coven, The ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covens) In John Allen's REALM series, the Coven is the sister organization to the Circle. Its members, called Collectors, adhere to a theological belief that the universe is sustained by a delicate balance of life-energy, also called etheric or ethereal energy. Their theory states that the universe teeters on the brink of collapse and is only kept in check by moderating the amount of active life-energy the universe contains. In order to maintain this balance the Collectors must either save lives, thereby retaining the necessary proportion of etheric energy, or by destroying lives, therefore redistributing the needed amount of energy. This process is often magnified on a much grander scale; where genocide is deemed essential to preserve the balance. In the third and final installment of the first REALM trilogy the House War, the prophesized apocalyptic war between the Circle and the Coven, just begins and takes center stage in the second trilogy. Most notable members of the Coven include BLANE SUMMERS and DARIUS.]

Enumerate various steps which can be useful in translating statements or arguments in English to corresponding statements or arguments in a formal Language like Propositional Calculus (PC) or First – Order Predicate Calculus (FOPC). Further translate the following arguments in English to corresponding arguments in a Formal language (only PC/FOPC) and check in PC/FOPC the validity of the arguments:
(a) If the parliament refuses to enact new laws, then the strike will not be over unless it lasts more than one year and the president of the firm resigns; conclusion if either the parliament enacts new laws or the strike is not over then the strike lasts more than one year. (b) No second – hand car dealer buys a second – hand cars for their families are absolutely dishonest. Then we conclude that some absolutely dishonest people are not second – hand car dealers.

Hello, my question is about cigarettes. I read that the many hundreds of chemicals added to cigarettes or rather the dried nicotine leaves are sprayed on. Is this true, how does that work, and how does it remain on the leaves, do they cook in the chemicals?
Thank you, Heather
That is one helluva list you gave us. Why would a cigarette company go to the extent of adding all these things?

Most of the additives are to add a distinctive smell (even when unburnt) and to increase shelf life. The smell is important because cheap tobacco (which is what is used in most cigarettes) starts to smell like horse manure after awhile in my opinion. - Drdisque 01:44, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
what is the worlds oldest religion and is it one of the three great religions of the world.
I don't think this is an answerable question, and perhaps not even a meaningful question. Religion predates written history. Our earliest written records make allusions to many religious practices. Our oldest continuous written record of a religion (the cult of yahweh) shows that it has evolved and changed almost unrecognizably over the time of the record. One of the interesting things nearly all religions do is deny that they have changed even when the documentary evidence is clear. In some of the more benighted parts of the world you risk death by even trying to point that out. alteripse 00:29, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World', everyone consumes daily grams of soma, to fight depression. I do not recall a chemical of sorts '1984' by George Orwell. Anyways, in the just released film 'DOMINO' directed by Tony Scott there's a scene were this lady makes coffee for the anti-Hero bounty hunters and puts mescaline instead of our normal sugar and half n' half. After a fiendish consumption of Starbucks brews, a fierce body shaking heroin like addiction. Well, I know there are differences in the way the brews are made, and/or packaged. When I get Starbucks at an actual coffee store, it is way more potent than the coffee stands and kiosks in center mall areas and those found in grocery stores. It makes me think untrusting thoughts. -Jacob
You would expect Starbucks to be less potent than other coffees because they roast their beans longer (I have heard it called "Charbucks"). Darker roasts taste stronger, but the roasting burns off the caffeine, so they are in fact less potent. Which is not, mind you, evidence that Starbucks is not involved in an evil conspricay to control your brain....

I'm applying to college next year, and two places I'm really looking at are Swarthmore College and Brown University. Any advice? Neutrality talk 04:28, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
Neutrality,
You must haul ass. Overload your schedule with the maximum challenging courses and do perfect. Currently your GPA and rank are out of the realm of possibility for Brown or Swat. Do not accept anything less than 99 percentile+ for all your boards. Grab regional awards/compete nationally in your areas of already developed interest. For comparison the avg admitted SAT score at Brown is 1390 (old SAT), which is 98 percentile. Assuming no socioeconomic disadvantage, you will have to outperform this average. 90% of Brown's admitted class was in the top 10%. The exceptions to the rule I assume are made for stellar athletes and students from nationally known publics magnets ( Stuyvesant High School, Brooklyn Tech, etc.)
Modern elite college admissions are one compettive bitch dude. Good luck.

how were wars finaced in the anicent world.
This makes me think of something related. Take Alexander the Great. He went to the east with an army and conquered the first city. But conquering is one thing. Keeping is another. So he had to leave some people behind for that. Then he went to the next city and the next and so on (he conquered quite a bunch). In no time he would have had no army left. Does this mean he found enough allies everywhere he went? That sounds a bit unlikely to me. Who would support a conqueror? Some, sure, but not quite enough I suppose. Keep in mind that he went really really far. In WWII, Germany conquered 'just' a five-fold or so of the size of their own country. For Alexander it was more like a fifty-fold. And the Romans took centuries for their conquests (enough to let people get used to the occupation to the extent that they largely didn't regard it as such anymore). Alexander took just decades.

I was just wondering about something (and I now wonder why I never wondered about this before). Political corruption could be defined as 'government officials taking money and doing the giver of the money a favour in return'. In the US it seems to be common practise for companies to sponsor the two political parties, for which they will obviously want something in return. And it's not advertising (you don't usually see Bush with some brandname on his shirt). So the favour would have to be political. So is this then not corruption?
How much money is involved here and is this done on all levels (President, Senate, Governor, Mayor and what else is there)? Where else are such things done? I only know about this happening in the US, but is it common practise in politics? And is it really worse the US or is it just that I'm influenced by Holywood films (which usually centre on the US)?

While reading an article on Wikipedia on Omega 3 fatty acids, a reference was made to Dr. Mercola being used on a site that wasn't considered to be reliable information. When I searched the site listed I could find no reference to Dr. Mercola. My question - Did the reference in the Wikipedia article mean that Dr. Mercola is reliable or unreliable? To extend the question, how can I research the numerous "doctor" sites that send out e-newsletters? How can a non-medical person decide which are reliable? They usually all have a long list of sites for their articles. Thanks muchly.
It depends on how you judge reliability. If you want information from a scientific medicine perspective, a superb guide to recognizing all the crap and pseudoscience out there is Quackwatch [97]. It will spell out for you exactly what is good and what is not, naming names and explaining exactly what is wrong, including Dr. Mercola.

The troops and Battalions were stevedores. Black, and worked daily on Omaha Beach for months. I was in the 509th Port Battalion.We camped near Bayreux. We were told that we unloaded General Patton's Tank. I have found no sources of information regarding this from any source. The Captain of our unit was named Davis. We were transfered to Rouen's Race track when the weather became cold. At the time of the Battle of the Bulge--we were given the opportunity to become infantry men and assist in that event.

I looked at the articles on the invasion. They mention only briefly that huge amounts of materiel were unloaded through the beaches. We ought to have an article on logistical support for the army in Europe in WWII. Was there a term for this type of unit? Did the 509th Port Battalian belong to a larger unit of this type? From your mention of "months" and "cold" and Battle of the Bulge, I am guessing you were there from a few months after the invasion until early 45. Do you know when the beach unloading shifted to established ports? alteripse 11:48, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
In Scrabble, Lets say i have a 20 point word, using all my tiles and a double word score. How would i score this. Would I:
1. Take 20 points add 50 points for all tiles and then double it giving me a score of 140? (20+50)*2=140
Or....
2. Take 20 points, double it and then add the 50 point bonus giving me a score of 90? (20*2)+50=90
You add the fifty point bonus on last, so your example would score (20*2)+50 = 90. Proto t c 09:56, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi all you history buffs; This is a tough one . When I was in college a few millenium ago, I took a History of Religions course . In this course the professor told us that the Hanseatic trade league had persuaded( Bribed) one of the Popes to decree that on fast days meat was not allowed to be eaten and that fish should be put in its place. Fish was one of the main trading products of the league. We all know that fish are definetley part of the christian faith , ever since the loaves and fishes on the mount and Peters Gig as a Fisherman. My question to you is have their been any Papal or Church Bulls or decrees or treaties specifically made with the Hanseatic Trade League concerning fish trade and have their been any decrees by the Church requiring Christians to eat fish on Fast days? I have been trying to find an answer to this question for years and have only found one reference to Papal decree That christians should eat fish on Fridays and it had no specifific details. Thanks gang Dennis Nigrelli GOOD LUCK on this one:)

If you clean your teeth real well, is there really a need for Dentists? Why can't regular doctors learn oral surgery?
Teeth cleaning may reduce frequency of caries but does not prevent all dental problems and their are many other things that can happen to your teeth. The separation of dentistry from surgery and medical practice is partly a matter of historical contingency. In the Middle Ages physicians were distinct from barber- surgeons who also performed surgical and dental procedures. Between 1300 and 1600, haircutting and dentistry became separated from surgery because people tended to specialize in one of the activities. After about 1800, surgery became a part of medical practice. The basic science training of physicians and dentists is similar but has become part of training only in the last century (the split predates it). The other main historical reason is the dentistry is also a craft of manual skills relatively easy to separate from those needed for surgery or medical practice. A lot of dental school is learning the manual craft and it would add a couple of years to medical school to teach physicians to do this. Especially for manual skills like surgery and dentistry, you want someone to do it a lot to be good at it. Finally, as Nunh-hunh says, there are oral surgeons who got there through dental school (DDS) and those who got there through medical school (MD). alteripse 09:19, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

I was just wondering, what are the basic parts when it comes to writing a monologue. We have to do a radio monologue and it's really annoying me.
I hope you can help. Thanks
A monologue is a speech. You have a message and an audience. Your job is to communicate the message in words so that it will understood by the audience and elicit the response you want. Are you having trouble deciding what the message should be, or what response you want from the audience, or are you having trouble with deciding how best to get the message across?

Before HL2 came out I watched a few videos, one of them depicted this part of the game (... with Barney and some resistence folks, then two striders came in.) The thing is, I got HL2 and finished it a couple of weeks ago and never saw that part of the game.
So I was wondering, did that part get cut off the final version, or was it made just for demonstration, or I just did something wrong while I was playing it? Kieff | Talk 11:55, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Hello,
Who was the first Swedish born player inducted in the Hockey Hall of fame?
Thanks for the help!
i did a google search with the keywords 'first swedish hockey player hall of fame' and this website seems to tell me that Borje Salming was the first Swedish player inducted in the Hockey Hall of Fame... hope this helps you... Kattus 12:25, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
my biology teacher told us that it is possible (but rare) to have XXXY as your chromosomes instead of the usual XY or XX... is this true and how is that possible? does the person have any genetic complications because of this and what are they then..because the 'XX' part is female and 'XY' is male so wouldnt they be male and female at the same time???
can someone explain it or give a website that does? thanks! Kattus 12:13, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
How does it happen? We think that at an early stage of zygote development, when chromosomes duplicate and separate into 2 cells, the separation failed to occur, leaving the surviving cells with one or more extra chromosomes. This is called nondisjunction. The reason the effects are so minimal for the people with multiple X (compared with having multiple copies of chromosome 21 or 1, for example), is that the second (and any excess beyond 2) X chromosome in mammals is mostly inactivated ( Lyonization) in most cells most of life and therefore causes relatively little trouble. Whether one is male depends (over 99% of the time) on whether one has a functioning Y chromosome. The number of X chromosomes does not matter: both males and females have X chromosomes. You can have 1 X or 5 X chromosomes and you will be female as long as you do not have a functioning Y. See sex differentiation for more details. alteripse 17:58, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Besides the seven services listed, why aren't the many other uniformed services of the United States listed? For example, within the United States Department of the Interior there are uniformed members of the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In the United States Department of Agriculture there are uniformed members of the United States Forest Service (several different types of Park Rangers, for instance). Perhaps other operating units of the DOI and USDA also have uniformed members. Perhaps other U.S. Cabinet-level departments have uniformed members as well. Why are none of these uniformed services of the United States listed? Is it simply because they are not military(naval)-ranked like the NOAA Commissioned Corps or the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps? Is it because they don't operate under military rules? (If so, shouldn't the title "Uniformed services of the United States" be qualified by some statement that indicates this limitation to the definition?) Or is there some other distinction? Courtneymitchell 13:49, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
Thanks, I'm new to this process and appreciate the kindness. What a remarkable phenomenon is Wikipedia! I'm still interested in the other U.S. services that use uniforms such as the U. S. Park Service Park Rangers, the United States Park Police, USDA Forest Service rangers, Game Wardens, the United States Border Patrol, etc., their corresponding pay rates and rankings. The seven military services articles were very satisfying in scope and thoroughness. I'm still looking for something comparable for the other uniformed services, some of whom have extensive military training, carry weapons and put their life on the line every day.
Also of interest is the appearance of CIA operatives in Naval uniforms within the popular culture in such movies as "The Hunt for Red October" and "Clear and Present Danger". Is this a real practice and does it come from a reason to protect them against being captured as spies in a similar manner that was given for uniforming a non-military service such as the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (in Wikipedia's ariticle Uniformed services of the United States)?

Hello!
I have a wonderful recipe for even more wonderful "chunky chocolate cookies", which I found in a cookie bakery in New York City. But they gave me a recipe which is aimed more to the U.S. public, because there is no single indication of ingredients made in the metric system.
But that's fine; I don't think that teaspoons look in the U.S. that much different than in Europe and I can calculate how much 350° F are (or 300 when I use the convection oven...), but how much are two sticks (unsalted...) butter (United States) when indicated in a baking recipe?

sounds like an inkjet is best for you. Home laser printers are intended for those who print a lot of pages and/or want a printer hardwired onto their network. - Drdisque 06:32, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
thanks!
In reality you can be pro-active when selecting an inkjet printer and research the most economical inkjet printer type to purchase. Most printers sell for almost nothing to purchase but the manufacturer makes up the loss with the selling of inkjet cartridges.
There are 2 Manufacturers that make products that have 3rd party inkjet cartridge suppliers. They are Canon and Epson.
Canon has printers that support larger cartridges (The BCI 3 and 6 Series)
The Back holds 30 ml and the Color are 15 ml each.
Epson comes a close second where they have cartridges (T044 Series)
The Back holds 13 ml and the Color are 17 ml each. (IF you purchase a Pinter that also can support the (T0431 cartridge) it holds 30 ml also.)
HP , Dell and Lexmark sell printers that have the Head Mechanics built in and as a result sell only much higher priced replacement cartridges.
Next is to select a reputable 3rd party supplier like Metawatch Inkjet Supplies
They offer free delivery to your door, for any purchase over $50.00 and have the best prices I could find anywhere in Canada.
So Inkjets can be cheap if you take your time and shop around. (Remember its not the purchase price that is the most important thing to remember but the total cost of ownership)

I was wondering if XS Citrus Blast Energy drink is simply made up of caffeine and some flavors, or does this drink have a makeup of things that really provide energy. Also, would it be best to just buy a can of coke instead?
It depends on how you define energy. By most definitions any drink with any amount of calories can be described as an energy drink. I assume this drink has plenty of sugar. Whether you would be better off with a can of coke depends on the relative costs and your taste preference. A handful of sugar in a glass of water would be even cheaper. alteripse 16:25, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Demonstrator can have several meanings depending on context. One meaning is "a person who participates in a public protest," especially someone who carries a sign to raise public understanding of the issue. Brecht was more of a political activist than most playwrights. This is a guess. alteripse 10:40, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

In a nutshell, it was about Noah rounding up all the animals and seeing the unicorn in the distance, and every day that went by, he'd round up more animals but the unicorn would never come close. In the end, the "legend" says that the reason why unicorns are no longer around is because he chose to stay in that world than face this one. Noah was never really able to convince the unicorn to come aboard. It's such a cute story, but I can't remember either the title or the author. Has anyone read it?

Two weeks ago I bought myself a pet cockatiel... I love my pet but I'm trying to train him and I've read repeatedly in several webpages that the first thing one must do is clip a bird's wings. Although I find this a cruel thing to do, I am thinking of taking him to a vet and having his wings clipped. How often should this be done though? How long before they "grow back"? Also, is it something I can do myself? I think it'd be a good idea to take him to a vet first to have it done professionally, but can I learn to do it myself or is it too risky?

The information I have is this: She married Thomas, she fell in love with a footman/soldier, Thomas learned this and killed the footman, buried him outside the castle wihout telling her, she died and haunted the castle (grey lady? Louisa?), Thomas moved away to escape her ghost, was then buried in the same cemetary as his victim.
I think this is somewhere in Westminster or Glastonbury.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Thomas (Thynne), 2nd Viscount Weymouth, and his wife Louisa née Carteret. We find the story, a bit mangled,
here: "In Southwestern England the 16th century Longleat house stands. A ghost story is told here. Thomas the Second of Viscount, married Louisa Carteret. He was as evil as she was sweet. He suspected her of having an affair with a footman and murdered him with the help of two servants, and hid the body. Louisa died not long after, they claimed, of a broken heart. Thomas started to see her ghost, smell her perfume, and watch as things would move on their own-he fled in fear and never returned. People thought it was just a legend even though her ghost was seen countless times by many. Three centuries later, workmen dug up some flag stones and found a corpse dressed in 18th century attire. The legend was proven to be true. They buried him in a graveyard not far from the house, and from the tomb of Thomas. Murderer and victim together for all eternity. "The Gray Lady of Louisa" as she is now called, still haunts the house to this very day."
- Nunh-huh 02:00, 1 October 2005 (UTC)"Longleat, the residence of the Marquess of Bath, has been haunted for many many years. It is said that his ancestor, Thomas Thynne, 2nd Viscount Weymouth, had fought a duel in a passage at the top of the house with an unknown man, who was rumoured to be his wife's lover. He killed this man, and had him buried in the cellars of Longleat. The passage where the duel is said to have been fought is now known as 'The Green Lady's walk', and is said to have been haunted by the spirit of Lady Louisa Carteret, wife of this 2nd Viscount Weymouth. When central heating was put into Longleat, during the 5th Marquess's lifetime, the body of a man was found buried in the cellars. He was wearing jackboots, which crumbled away as soon as the body was exposed to the air. Lady Louisa Carteret, Viscountess Weymouth, died aged about twenty-two, after three-and-a-half years of marriage and nine days after the birth of a child. It was rumoured that Viscount Weymouth nearly ruined himself and his two sisters by his extravagance after the death of his wife."

In 1948 or 1949, when I was a young lad, my Dad took me to see the one and only double header football game in Cleveland Ohio. This was a pre-season exhibition trial double header, never to be repeated. The Cleveland Browns were involved, but I can't remember who the other 3 teams or the scores were. I would appreciate it if you could let me know. I am 74 yrs old, and disabled. I have tried in the past to get this info without any success. This would also make a good trivia question for Jeapordy.

Hello there, I was hoping that you might be able to add my shop to your links. I would be able to advertise your site with every purchase made from my shop, and also on the flyer i have produced to deliver to all known petrol garage's in the UK (of which i have nearly compiled a list). The link to my shop is: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Make-your-car-a-supercar-with-Nitro, and although i will not be able to put a link for your site in my shop, the coverage that i will produce via my flyer will be constant and very wide-scale. I eagerly await your response to this email request. Many thanks, Marc Chilton.

They will come back next year as the queen will hibernate and keep a group or dormant eggs with her. It will be easier to remove in the winter because of decreased activity though. Purpose built bee/wasp removal systems sold at hardware stores do a good job of killing enough bees that you can safely remove the nest without getting stung. Also, make sure that these are indeed bees and not Yellowjackets or Hornets as these will stay alive year-round and just huddle together for warmth. Removing one of these nests is very dangerous. - Drdisque 22:42, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Due to the Lake effect the western part of the area will see a little more snow than the eastern part, but the entire region recieves LOTS of snow and I do not suggest moving there if she is not comfortable with this. - Drdisque 22:37, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Actually, Buffalo doesn't get as much snow as you would think. I lived south of Syracuse for the better half of 6 yeas before going to school in Alabama, then BACK to Buffalo for the last two years, and it's more artic winds and cold weather than snow. We have our crazy storms (like most of the eastern north states), but on average, about 100-120 inches, with 50-60" of that coming in December and January. The reason why Buffalo get's less than let's say Fabius, New York or Tully, NY (belt way) or even Oswego for that matter, is because we are BETWEEN the lakes vs. right on the edge like Rochester, NY and the other towns I mentioned get the drift snow bands that come over the lakes that carry across the area.
The winds come from a slight SE direction from the Ontraio region across the lakes and the snow travels NORTH and SOUTH of Buffalo, but rarely does it dump directly on the city itself. Buffalo, NY will receive less snow by probably about a third than Amherst, NY (biggest town outside of Buffalo - 20m drive) or towns south of here. Please mind, that sometimes you just can't avoid the snow, and about twice a year we get a 2 day storm that blows 10-14" but the road crews are amazingly good at cleaning the roads, and as they say in Buffalo, "If you don't like the weather, then wait a minute." Excuse the crazy storm that you saw on October 13, 2006. Fluke and has never happened here before like that and so early.

Finally, a question in a specialist area of mine! There's no single reason. One is that they are very busy (or maintain they are), so will write as quickly as possible, to save time. Another (less frequently mentioned nowadays) is that they don't like their patients actually being able to read what they've been prescribed, and so will make the docket as indecipherable as possible. A third is that doctors, more than any other group of workers, are prone to intellectual elitism (ever see a gang of junior doctors sashaying along with their stethoscopes flung raffishly around their necks? They're all playing the music from Reservoir Dogs in their heads)), and like to have their own private 'code' that only their fellow doctors can decipher. Proto t c 13:35, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

You might better ask why Europeans and West Asians have a more prominent nose bridge.

It is the 'EC Directive on Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours', implemented in the UK on 01/01/1993.

Packages are defined as the pre-arranged combination of at least two of; transport, accommodation, or other tourist services not in addition to transport or accommodation and accounts for a significant proportion of the package; when sold or offered for sale at an inclusive price and when the service covers a period of 24 hours or more or includes overnight accommodation:
It sets down information which must be given to the customer before a contract is concluded & terms which must be included in that contract. It also places a strict liability on the organiser/retailer of the package holiday for the proper performance of the obligations under the contract, regardless of whether they are to be provided by the organiser or by another.

Yo this is "Life". i am from miami i went to famu and learn alot out of school i started to lost focus. i am a rider for the cause now, but anyway here my question how or what type of questions do dead prez ask the I ching as a black male, to help make money or any questions that dead prez might ask the i Ching. i have been using the i ching for atlease 6 months.
i am sorry my wording is not perfect i was talking about Dead Prez Stic And M-1. They are the nain reason i went out and purchase the I ching so i was just wondering what type of questions they would ask.
They do seem to have something to do with the iching though... the I Ching article says Dead Prez - an activist hip-hop group that refer to the I Ching in several of their songs. To them, the I Ching represents the change they want to bring about through revolution. The symbol in their logo is the seventh hexagram, sze, which represents an army - the "people's army".
Pygmies are said to be about four feet in height (give or take). Midgets, who, from what I gather, are simply well-proportioned -- head-to-body -- dwarfs, can be as small as three feet tall. My question is whether there are any pygmies who are also midgets. Because if there were they would have to be extremely small. There may be some genetic reason why pygmies never suffer from dwarfism and hence some reason why there are no pygmy midgets. Just a thought.
Eugene Valberg [e-mail address removed]
From a medical perspective:
Specific replies to your questions. You make at least 2 unwarranted assumptions. First that other forms of dwarfism do not occur in pygmies. Do you have any evidence of this? As there are hundreds of types of dwarfism and a large share of many types occur due to new mutation, it would imply that the pygmies are somehow resistant to mutation. If true, it would be a discovery that would transcend entirely the issues of height. The second false assumption would be the resultant height on a pygmy who had dwarfism. It is not unusual for more than one type of shortness to occur in a child. The resultant effect is not multiplicative and is usually less than additive, as if some of the result was overlapping or redundant. alteripse 00:15, 5 October 2005 (UTC) alteripse 21:33, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

As far as I can determine from the
World War I article, the war was primarily a European one. The
United States didn't play much of a role in it. The War was ended after the signing of the
Armistice and the
Treaty of Versailles (the latter was never officially ratified by the US). They're biggest involvement was that they declared war on
Austria-Hungary on
December 7,
1917. So I'd say they added to the war continuing rather than it ending. -

I have to agree with the offence against Wicca, The Mormon Church, The Unification Church, some Islamic Sect or otherwise. The only issue of a group/religion that I could possibly hold against is if they believed in human sacrifices as a regular part of their practiced beliefs. I do believe that there are groups that are interested in killing people but for the most part I can not think of any organized group that has a purpose to kill human beings. Not anything in the same general groups as aforementioned. Most groups that are out there to kill another human being are often coming from a political stand point and any religious reference to their cause is commonly not a direct component to the religion. I think it is a sad moment when someone can be so closed minded to other groups that do not force us or other individuals on how their existence in this life is or can be. They have just as much right to exist, live and practice their beliefs and you/I do/can. I am thinking from a current stand point view with out any regard to any historical reference. How we are today I think is an important point of reference. At least when dealing with the reference of whom to support when dealing with a modern issue. Such as which and what web site to be used or support. I do have to admit that I am prejudice against ignorant people. 67.183.190.153Mary 67.183.190.153

I need help finding the "secret areas" used for unlocking multiplayer deathmatch levels in the game Hamsterball. Post the areas you found here, first the level, then where to find it. Please help I'm addicted to this game but I can't find the multiplayer levels, I found one accidentally but can't find any others.
Expert: This happens after the second set of strong fans. You go down a ramp towards the camera, then go down another ramp away from the camera, but before you go down that second ramp, run off the corner with your hamster/hamsterball, in the middle of the two ramps, and you should float on a grey square with a lock on it. Roll over the little grey square and it will turn red, unlocking the multiplayer deathmatch level "Expert".
Note: You must be playing a tournament on normal or frenzied mode to even be able to see the square, if not, you're just waisting your time. ( Then again, everyone that plays this game is sort of just waisting their time. )

Long story short: Don't place your hair type at the whim of some fads or a group of bemused internet wikipedians; be natural and be yourself.-- Screwball23 00:32, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
For the curly hair a good thing is john frieda's Frizzease. Put a dollop about a quarter size on wet hair and put through and let dry natural. For the straight hair short cuts are great. Look at Keira Knightley in the movie Dominoe - thats a good cut.
Have you considered consulting one of the teen magazines, or maybe Cleo, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Vogueor Harper's Bazaar? They tend to be far better informed on this kind of thing than the regulars here. If you still need help, maybe your friend should consult a good hairdresser - it's their job to help people choose a hair style that suits their face, body, and personality. -- Robert Merkel 08:04, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Hello,
I have searched your online files and cannot seem to find the specific material I am seeking. I have combed the intellectual property sections and links to it that you have and still need some help. If you can tell me where to look this would be wonderfu.
I am trying to get at two things:
1) non-profit employees' rights to use their own work-products, specifically writing and research.
2) restrictions on directors of non-profits in using what employees write and putting their own names on it as the authors of it.
3) restrictions non-profits put on employees in the conflict of interest area, keeping those employees from speaking and publishing on material that they develop a) outside of that non-profit b) within that non-profit c) both outside and within that non-profit at the same time
In all cases mentioned above, the work of the non-profit is in the social issues area and is publically funded by the state of california.
Thanks, bbbb

Hello! I wonder if someone can advise me about how to look after about 150 guava seedlings, from 6"-12" tall, and any ideas about what to do with the surplus, there is obviously a slight problem with space for the developing orchard! If I keep potting them on until they are a manageable height, then pinch out the growing tips would that limit their growth? The books say they will fruit within 2-4 years, given that I provide the right temperatures can I hope for fruit? Then, there is the slightly smaller problem, (in that there are only 100 of them)of mystery plants from Cyprus, evergreen leaves, reminiscent of carob trees but the germination rate was too high. My mumblings about a tropical area in the garden with undersoil heating and winter protection fall on deaf ears!! Then there's the morning glory which escaped through the conservatory roof and was last seen heading for the sky at a rate of knots, am I really going to have to wrap the whole of the back of the house in bubble wrap? You probably realise that I'm squeamish about killing things, epecially since I grew and raised them, so the obvious answers such as "Pull them up!" don't apply. Trivial, in the light of the world situation, I know, but it's my little bit of it. Thank you 195.93.21.36 11:22, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Why do grown up men rape and murder innocent children?
Unfortunately the mental illness explanation is simply a tautology, as is evident when stripped to its essentials: "only a mentally ill person would do that, therefore anyone who does that is mentally ill." If you look for other evidence of mental illness besides raping other people (of any sex or age), the majority have none. It is sadly within the repertoire of "normal" human behaviors and is better understood as evil than ill. alteripse 19:58, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
Following is respectful disagreement. You are free to use another word than evil, though it is the traditional one applied when a human being deliberately chooses to cause this type of harm to another, especially as a direct and personal interaction. I would offer two perspectives that do not support your view. First, around the world today and for most of recorded history, rape and killing of women and children occurs frequently in a setting of ethnic conflict or social enforcement, not as an aberrant and solitary behavior. Obviously in such cases, it is not accurate to say that raping and killing women and children is universally condemned, because groups of people do it and justify it. I contend that such group behavior even more deserves the label of evil than of illness. My second objection to your argument is that it deprives the perpetrator of the assumption of moral agency and responsibility. No matter what word you prefer over evil, one of the principal differences between calling these acts evil and calling them sick is whether you think the perpetrator can be held morally and criminally responsible. How can you possibly advocate simple vengeful punishment for someone who did this from an illness? How many hospitals, physicians, or therapists are claiming to be able to cure this behavior? Do you believe them? Finally, what are the implications of your absolution for our treatment of children who have been sexually abused? Do we then hang a "watch him" sign around his neck? Should we forbid him contact with children when he gets older, or is he, like a dog, allowed one bite? Because if a high proportion of sexually abused children grow up to be abusers, your argument is strong, but it also justifies pre-emptive measures. On the other hand, if only a small proportion of abused children grow up to be abusers and vast majority do not, your argument has poor explanatory power and does not counter the moral agency assumption. Which way do you want it? alteripse 00:01, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Although we may not have hugely different opinions, I think there are at least three advantages to retaining the term and concept of evil in this context. First, as you mention, it reduces the temptation to frame such behavior in illness terms or other justifications. Second, it connects the person contemplating it to the millennia of previous human attempts to understand and deal with this type of behavior. Third, it unequivocally affirms condemnation. Also (I just caught this)-- I did not explain that such acts were done because of evil, which of course is no explanation. Rather, that attempts to explain this behavior were in my opinion the same as attempts to understand evil behavior, not sick behavior. alteripse 00:43, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
This is an ill-tempered response to a polite, patient, and logically argued disagreement, which was focused precisely on what you said. I was paying you the respect of assuming you could debate an assertion logically and recognize a rhetorical question. My assumption was apparently incorrect and I offended you. Sorry. alteripse 12:22, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Can a country Bomb both sides if it doesn't agree with either side of a war?
Three-sided wars are rather rare. In the later stages of World War II in Eastern Europe there were several three-sided struggles between Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and some third parties caught in the middle, for example the Polish Armia Krajowa and the anti-communist Russian Liberation Army. In Yugoslavia there was fighting between the Chetniks, Partisans and Nazi Germany (though maybe not at the same time?). In China there was a 3-sided war in the 1940s between the Kuomingtang, the Communist Party of China and the Empire of Japan. Gdr 20:29, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

ARE THERE ANY CITIES THAT HAVE EXISTED SINCE PRE-HISTORIC TIMES
Existed as a city, as a town, or simply as an inhabited place? Jericho is probably a contender for longest town at the same site, and dates back before historical records. For several large cities, it is likely that the area was inhabited before historical records: this is likely true of Athens, Rome, Paris, London, and many others. In fact any old city without a historical record of its founding meets the definition of being a "pre-historic" settlement before it was a "historic" town. So the short answer, is many. alteripse 17:19, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

How was it determined that the right way to view a map was to have north as the Top? Why don't we view earth the other way, i.e. south side being up.
does anyone know where this origins? "The earth isn't dying - it's being killed. And those that are killing it have names and addresses" It looks a lot like this is something originally said by Utah Phillips but I've also read it as said as far back as by Leo Tolstoy. I don't know in what sense or what work any of them have written it (if Tolstoy has) and it's quite possible "Utah" quoted someone else...

Calgary (pop. 1.037m) is the largest city I could find quickly that has no such service (though it does have a light rail network); that must surely have a good claim for being the largest city in the Western world without an intercity train service (though please do tell me if there's a larger one), but what about in other parts of the globe?

Why would a ten year old girl who just started her menstral 2 months ago have such heavy monthly bleeding and blood clots during her cycle? what is tha a sign of?
The explanation is likely one of the following four things.
The first possibility is by far the most likely. If the bleeding stops in less than 9 days, and most of those days she uses less than 10 pads I would recommend waiting a couple more months to see if the problem takes care of itself. It probably will. (On the other hand, this is just free advice based on some guesses; if the flow is a lot heavier than that or she is having other symptoms, have your doctor check a CBC to be sure she is not losing too much blood). There are simple things that can be done to stop a period if there is a dangerous amount of blood loss. alteripse 04:08, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

The Romans still had an eight day week at the time, with a market day every eighth day. They expressed the day of the week as "x days before market day" unless it was a designated holiday or feast.

Also note that many industries use caps. Draftsmen have traditionally used all caps in many cases, as they reproduce better when copied. FORTRAN and BASIC programmers traditionally used all caps, too, although this has reduced in recent times. Labels for file folders and signs are frequently all caps, too. Many people may just feel that case is a silly thing to worry about, as the case of a word rarely changes it's meaning. These people are just as likely to use all lowercase:

Let's say a commercial flight is headed from Los Angeles to Sydney. Somewhere in the last five hours of the flight it runs into a storm and disappears without a trace. Air traffic controllers in Sydney (and any Pacific islands in the area like Fiji or New Caledonia) can't contact it.
Now, let's say that the same plane appeared in the skies 24 hours later, exactly where it had disappared - still en route to Australia. Of course, it should have crashed long ago by running out of fuel. Not to mention, where has it been for the last day?
The pilots make contact with Sydney's airport and inform traffic controllers that as they headed into the storm, they lost consciousness, along with everyone else on the plane. Then they reawoke to find that it was the next day, and they were in the exact same spot. They request permission to continue and land at Sydney.
What do the air traffic guys in charge at Sydney airport say?

I haven't read the other answers, but the most important thing for a beginner is to have a guitar that can be tuned well. You'd be surprised how many impure guitars there are. Every individual guitar is different. If all the guitars in a series are good then a specific one will also be, but lacking such info you'd better not buy without having someone knowledgeable with a good hearing (those are also spread thin) test it.

Could a hurricane hit NEW YORK like HURRICANE KATRINA hit NEW ORLEANS
The likelihood of such an event is very minimal. Strong hurricanes (category 3 and above) require very warm water to maintain their strength and the water that far north, even during a warm summer isn't warm enough. However, Category 1 and 2 Hurricanes can and have hit locations that far north and caused significant problems. See the article on Hurricanes for mor information. Also, New York is not built below sea level so it could never flood like New Orleans did. - Drdisque 21:34, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
There has been some talk about this recently in the city. If a large hurricane (like a 3, which seems to be the largest reasonable size) were to hit New York City, Lower Manhattan, Coney Island, the Rockaways, and much of Staten Island could all face severe flooding, and there are plans for a potential evacuation of these areas.-- Pharos 09:39, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Lots of answers, but here is a different one. This is an example of a semantic paradox. It is created by a linguistic operation but does not reflect a real world operation or situation. All of the resolutions involve intellectual manipulations of definitions. Sometimes pondering such a paradox gives you insight into other problems, but essentially there is no right answer that can be confirmed by reality testing. It is in the same class of conundra on which the scholastic philosophers expended so much effort, now often caricatured as debates over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin (since angels take up no physical space but the point has not space either.

Does anyone know what particular computer skills an investment analyst/advisor needs to know... what sort of program knowledge is considered essential education?
It depends what you plan on doing, but Microsoft Excel programming skills would be the bare minimum and knowledge of Eviews and/or SAS would be very beneficial. - Drdisque 06:32, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
You need to know any application in addition to the application software, because there is so much fraud and incompetence out there. If you do not know the application, then you can fall victim to technology abuse that does not do the application properly. This applies to any computer usage.
People who work the investment analyst/advisor profession would probably know what skills best enhance it, such as rapid access to SEC and stock market specifics, research tools for analysing the financial reports of publically traded companies.

Doylestown is basically directly north of Philly and the airport is directly south. Although 611 goes straight through town to Doylestown, see below for cautions. I would recommend you go around to the west, then north, then north east, or around to the east, then north, then northwest. In terms of traffic and ease of finding the exits and turns, I would probably take the western route, which is roughly:
Caution: it does look from the map that you could take 611 N from just east of the airport straight north through downtown Philly and on to Doylestown, but traffic by that route is awful, it goes straight through N Philly areas that are "less than scenic", and it doesnt show well on the map but at the northern edge of philly there is a fork and short discontinuity where it is easy to lose your way trying to stay on 611. alteripse 00:53, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

how do i catch a cricket in a very small room keeping mum awake most of night thankyou ,
Dorothy -- 211.27.77.223 06:44, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
I've used the same method to kill both crickets and mice, both of which hide and go silent when lights are turned on or they hear movement. (I believe roaches are the same, though, fortunately, I haven't had those.) Neither one is very bright, so think you've left after the light goes out and the room goes silent. So, just wait by the light switch until they come out and start making noise, then turn the lights on and kill them (or capture them if you're in a humane mood, which wasn't me after being kept up half the night). If the light switch is too far from their location, a bright electric flashlight could be used instead. StuRat 15:14, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
I just saw you said "mum" instead of "mom", so that mean's you're likely not American, in which case it may be an "electric torch" instead of a flashlight. StuRat 15:30, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Under the sub-heading "Trivia" in the article on the 2005 movie Fever Pitch, there is the information that the film's ending was rewritten several times to incorporate the fact that the Red Sox, the sports team fetured in the film, actually were baseball's champions in the season the story portrays. The love story juxtaposed so well with the actual events of the 2004 playoffs (e.g., after believing their relationship is over, the couple finally fall in love once in for all just as the Red Sox begin their improbable comeback after losing the first three games of their playoff series against the Yankees) that it seems hard to imagine this could have been the same movie if it hadn't been set against the events that really took place in October 2004. What was originally planned as the movie's ending--with both the love story and the events surrounding the baseball team?

Is there any law against burying a human in a cardboard box? (in the United States of America) I heard that some people are buying cardboard boxes and then the whole family decorates it together. But I wouldn't want to be cremated but instead buried in the cardboard box. Is that okay? Thanks
(email removed: questions are answered here, and leaving your email may lead to spam)
See the Federal Trade Commission's So you're buying a funeral? page. Before there was federal regulation, people would get ripped off by funeral directors who lied to them, telling them they were required to purchase embalming and/or espensive coffins. For "direct burial" or "direct cremation", you certainly can get by with a plain wooden box; I imagine it would take some rather hefty cardboard to transport a body in. Nonetheless, "For those who choose a direct cremation without a viewing or other ceremony where the body is present, the funeral provider must offer an inexpensive unfinished wood box or alternative container, a non-metal enclosure - pressboard, cardboard or canvas - that is cremated with the body." Funeral homes are required to use the container you purchase, and you don't have to purchase it from them. I think a pine box might be a better bet than cardboard for burial, though. And cemeteries can still require a "grave liner", so the answer to your question depends on the answer to "burying a human where?". (The image of a family decorating a cardboard box to bury someone in is odd to me. I keep thinking of gluing little macaroni shells to it and spray painting it gold.... I mean...what's the decoration for? But to each his own.) Hope the link helps. - Nunh-huh 02:00, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Why does society frown upon drinking alcohol in the morning? I mean, what is the big deal?
It actually isn't frowned upon in all societies - I can attest to this, having travelled extensively in Eastern Europe. Trollderella 16:45, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
My impression is that while, in France, alcohol consumption does not have the stigma it may have in the US (where many people associate it with public drunkenness and disorderly conduct), drinking in the morning is generally associated with drunkards — people who are psychologically or physically addicted to alcohol and cannot even wait for lunch to get their first shot of alcohol.

in formula 1 they use lights to show the start of the race. i would like to know what different light systems were used. I do not mind pictures included in the answer.
I have watched Formula 1 since 1994 and the lights have not changed significantly since then. Basically a series of red lights (i believe 5) go on in sequence and when they go out, the cars can go. Later, green lights are turned on to signal a green-flag track condition. - Drdisque 01:01, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Is it true that Calstate is better than UC for its undergraduate programs? Because I heard UC doesn't offer "learning by doing" experience as much as Calstate, especially Calpoly.
An engineering faculty from CSULA (who visited my campus, MTSAC) even went further & said that UC put undergrad on backseat; I realized that his opinion might be biased, but can someone please enlighten me?
My landlord, who graduated from UCLA with Bachelor in EE, clarified those rumors, and said that he didn't get too many "hands-on" experience from his school, he also mentioned about this TA (Teaching Assistant) thing, which further discouraged me, since I want to be taught by professor, not some undergrad & grad students.
I'm well aware that UC is, of course, more prestigious than Calstate, but after listening to those statements, it's kinda make me want to transfer to Calpoly, instead of UC.

Is it possible to "pop your cheek" if you push the air out of your mouth hard enough?
It would only be possible if you somehow sealed your lips, they cannot hold nearly as much pressure as your skin. Also, the chest muscles that expel air from your lungs aren't nearly strong enough to create the pressure needed. If you had an outside source (like a compressor) pressurizing your lungs, I'm even inclined to think your lungs would rupture first. - Drdisque 01:12, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Why are most of the planets on a seemingly "flat" orbit. Why aren't any planets at say at a rotation of 90 degrees from earth for example.
The orbits of the planets are coplanar because during the Solar System's formation, the planets formed out of a disk of dust which surrounded the sun. Becuase that disk of dust was a disk, all in a plane, all of the planets formed in a plane as well. Rings and disks are common in astronomy. When a cloud collapses, the conservation of angular momentum causes amplifies the spin of the cloud. As the cloud spins faster and faster, it collapses into a disk, which is the maximal balance between gravitational collapse and centrifugal force created by rapid spin. The result is the coplanar planets, the thin disks of spiral galaxies, and the accretion disks around black holes.

Part of the problem is that American usage of the term "city" is different from usage in other English-speaking countries.

On the drug test, he showd up as having morphine in his system , and because of this he might possibly do 3 years in jail.

is a salt mine just as dangerous as a coal mine.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says:
Coal mining -- 5.7 injuries per year per 100 workers
"Other nonmetallic mineral mining and quarrying" (includes salt mines) -- 3.7 injuries per year per 100 workers
The most-dangerous industry category? Bottled-water manufacturing -- 16.7. The safest? Investment banking and securities dealing -- 0.2.
Mwalcoff 01:49, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
I agree that coal mines are intrinsically more dangerous, due to coal dust causing black lung disease as well as the other factors mentioned. One danger of salt mines is that they are often shallow and near bodies of water (having been deposited there by the body of water), and are thus susceptible to flooding. However, the statisitcs show they are still safer than coal mines. StuRat 01:32, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Why does a 20 oz bottle of soda cost more than a 2 liter bottle?
Bought in the same market, they usually do not cost more. However, it usually comes down to demand, there is just as much demand for a 20 oz refrigerated bottle that you can easily carry and drink out of than an unrefrigerated 2L that is unwieldy to carry and is considered uncouth to drink from - Drdisque 22:52, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
I think too that it seems absurd, and have thought the same thing myself! I believe that a 2 l bottle costs less (in the U.S.) because Americans have come to expect that a 2 l should be around a buck, and the soft drink industry is extremely competitive. 20 oz. bottles are relatively new to the market and started around a buck. 20 oz bottles are very profitible to American gas station owners. However, when I studied in Germany, I noticed that the .5 l (=20 oz) plastic bottle costs considerably less than the 1.5 l (they don't even have a 2 l of Coke), and the 1.5 cost well over $2.

How can one detect a bootleg CD? My problem is that I ordered a used copy of Uprising by Bob Marley and the Wailers. It arrived today, and there are some tell-tale signs that make me suspect it's a bootleg. First, it came shrinkwrapped, but there was no plastic peel-off seal on the top like with new CDs. But that's understandable; many businesses own shrinkwrapping machines. Second, there are no liner notes -- just a flimsy piece of paper with artwork on one side. I am unable to find out whether Uprising is supposed to have liner notes or not, though. Last, the CD itself looks suspicious -- it's yellow with blue text at the bottom that looks like it came off of a cheap dot-matrix printer. On the other hand, when I put the disc into my computer, iTunes accesses the CD Database and finds the tracks. Does this sound like a bootleg? Or does someone have a copy of Uprising they can compare with my description? Thanks . . . . -- BrianSmithson 21:44, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

If you mean diseases caused by microbes, probably some of those predate humans, too, but I'm not sure which. StuRat 21:11, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I have a question: Who's the author/band/group of the Brainiac: Science abuse theme song? The song comes on the beginning of the show, and at the end. And also, where can I find the song?
I looked at the credits of brainiac and found out that the author of the tune is "grant buckerfield" I googeld the guy, it didn't gave any result on the subject brainiac. I now know he's got his very own site. On the site are some downloads, including the brainiac tv tune, BUT the song that he lets you download only is about 15 seconds long, thats to short, and the song is very messed up, so I can't do anything with it, it doesn't satisfy me :P and yeah I know it is messed up for the copyrights, so that nobody can take parts of the song and place it in their own song. but pleas pleas I really got to have longer than 15 messed up seconds of the brainiac theme help me please *begging* thank you

[RE: Coven, The ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covens) In John Allen's REALM series, the Coven is the sister organization to the Circle. Its members, called Collectors, adhere to a theological belief that the universe is sustained by a delicate balance of life-energy, also called etheric or ethereal energy. Their theory states that the universe teeters on the brink of collapse and is only kept in check by moderating the amount of active life-energy the universe contains. In order to maintain this balance the Collectors must either save lives, thereby retaining the necessary proportion of etheric energy, or by destroying lives, therefore redistributing the needed amount of energy. This process is often magnified on a much grander scale; where genocide is deemed essential to preserve the balance. In the third and final installment of the first REALM trilogy the House War, the prophesized apocalyptic war between the Circle and the Coven, just begins and takes center stage in the second trilogy. Most notable members of the Coven include BLANE SUMMERS and DARIUS.]

Enumerate various steps which can be useful in translating statements or arguments in English to corresponding statements or arguments in a formal Language like Propositional Calculus (PC) or First – Order Predicate Calculus (FOPC). Further translate the following arguments in English to corresponding arguments in a Formal language (only PC/FOPC) and check in PC/FOPC the validity of the arguments:
(a) If the parliament refuses to enact new laws, then the strike will not be over unless it lasts more than one year and the president of the firm resigns; conclusion if either the parliament enacts new laws or the strike is not over then the strike lasts more than one year. (b) No second – hand car dealer buys a second – hand cars for their families are absolutely dishonest. Then we conclude that some absolutely dishonest people are not second – hand car dealers.

Hello, my question is about cigarettes. I read that the many hundreds of chemicals added to cigarettes or rather the dried nicotine leaves are sprayed on. Is this true, how does that work, and how does it remain on the leaves, do they cook in the chemicals?
Thank you, Heather
That is one helluva list you gave us. Why would a cigarette company go to the extent of adding all these things?

Most of the additives are to add a distinctive smell (even when unburnt) and to increase shelf life. The smell is important because cheap tobacco (which is what is used in most cigarettes) starts to smell like horse manure after awhile in my opinion. - Drdisque 01:44, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
what is the worlds oldest religion and is it one of the three great religions of the world.
I don't think this is an answerable question, and perhaps not even a meaningful question. Religion predates written history. Our earliest written records make allusions to many religious practices. Our oldest continuous written record of a religion (the cult of yahweh) shows that it has evolved and changed almost unrecognizably over the time of the record. One of the interesting things nearly all religions do is deny that they have changed even when the documentary evidence is clear. In some of the more benighted parts of the world you risk death by even trying to point that out. alteripse 00:29, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

The Terminal Man by Michael Crichton did not talk about downloading infromation to the brain. It was a story of a poor epilepsy patient whose "let's put a computerized pacemaker into his brain" treatment went terribly wrong and made him an unstoppable compulsive killing machine.

Thanks Wikipedia for being a Conspiracy Theorists Playground, and so is life. A quick reference before the actual question can be answered. Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World', everyone consumes daily grams of soma, to fight depression. I do not recall a chemical of sorts '1984' by George Orwell. Anyways, in the just released film 'DOMINO' directed by Tony Scott there's a scene were this lady makes coffee for the anti-Hero bounty hunters and puts mescaline instead of our normal sugar and half n' half. After a fiendish consumption of Starbucks brews, a fierce body shaking heroin like addiction. Well, I know there are differences in the way the brews are made, and/or packaged. When I get Starbucks at an actual coffee store, it is way more potent than the coffee stands and kiosks in center mall areas and those found in grocery stores. It makes me think untrusting thoughts. -Jacob
You would expect Starbucks to be less potent than other coffees because they roast their beans longer (I have heard it called "Charbucks"). Darker roasts taste stronger, but the roasting burns off the caffeine, so they are in fact less potent. Which is not, mind you, evidence that Starbucks is not involved in an evil conspricay to control your brain....

Neutrality,
You must haul ass. Overload your schedule with the maximum challenging courses and do perfect. Currently your GPA and rank are out of the realm of possibility for Brown or Swat. Do not accept anything less than 99 percentile+ for all your boards. Grab regional awards/compete nationally in your areas of already developed interest. For comparison the avg admitted SAT score at Brown is 1390 (old SAT), which is 98 percentile. Assuming no socioeconomic disadvantage, you will have to outperform this average. 90% of Brown's admitted class was in the top 10%. The exceptions to the rule I assume are made for stellar athletes and students from nationally known publics magnets ( Stuyvesant High School, Brooklyn Tech, etc.)
Modern elite college admissions are one compettive bitch dude. Good luck.

how were wars finaced in the anicent world.
This makes me think of something related. Take Alexander the Great. He went to the east with an army and conquered the first city. But conquering is one thing. Keeping is another. So he had to leave some people behind for that. Then he went to the next city and the next and so on (he conquered quite a bunch). In no time he would have had no army left. Does this mean he found enough allies everywhere he went? That sounds a bit unlikely to me. Who would support a conqueror? Some, sure, but not quite enough I suppose. Keep in mind that he went really really far. In WWII, Germany conquered 'just' a five-fold or so of the size of their own country. For Alexander it was more like a fifty-fold. And the Romans took centuries for their conquests (enough to let people get used to the occupation to the extent that they largely didn't regard it as such anymore). Alexander took just decades.

I was just wondering about something (and I now wonder why I never wondered about this before). Political corruption could be defined as 'government officials taking money and doing the giver of the money a favour in return'. In the US it seems to be common practise for companies to sponsor the two political parties, for which they will obviously want something in return. And it's not advertising (you don't usually see Bush with some brandname on his shirt). So the favour would have to be political. So is this then not corruption?
How much money is involved here and is this done on all levels (President, Senate, Governor, Mayor and what else is there)? Where else are such things done? I only know about this happening in the US, but is it common practise in politics? And is it really worse the US or is it just that I'm influenced by Holywood films (which usually centre on the US)?

While reading an article on Wikipedia on Omega 3 fatty acids, a reference was made to Dr. Mercola being used on a site that wasn't considered to be reliable information. When I searched the site listed I could find no reference to Dr. Mercola. My question - Did the reference in the Wikipedia article mean that Dr. Mercola is reliable or unreliable? To extend the question, how can I research the numerous "doctor" sites that send out e-newsletters? How can a non-medical person decide which are reliable? They usually all have a long list of sites for their articles. Thanks muchly.
It depends on how you judge reliability. If you want information from a scientific medicine perspective, a superb guide to recognizing all the crap and pseudoscience out there is Quackwatch [97]. It will spell out for you exactly what is good and what is not, naming names and explaining exactly what is wrong, including Dr. Mercola. It pulls no punches and is guaranteed to offend some people. alteripse 16:18, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

You know those little pictures that usually accompany some children's toy or some sort of advertisement that when you view them one way you see one picture but when you tilt the image slightly you see another photo? What are those called and does the Wikipedia have an article on them? Dismas| (talk) 22:34, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

I want to know who were the only ncaa schools to win a national championships in both football and basketball. I believe there was only 3 or 4. I know one was Michigan U. but I can't find the others. They don't have to be in the same year as I believe that has not been done yet Thank You -- 70.149.215.210 00:10, 31 October 2005 (UTC)Stan

I have come across a 'restricted food item' called "Man Tau Lo" in the food law of HKSAR (Public Health & Municipal Services Ord., Cap. 132). All I know is that the sale of this food item has to be covered by a special permit. Can anybody tell me more about it, such as its ingredients, processing, health hazards, etc?-- Ciesse 203 01:44, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
The troops and Battalions were stevedores. Black, and worked daily on Omaha Beach for months. I was in the 509th Port Battalion.We camped near Bayreux. We were told that we unloaded General Patton's Tank. I have found no sources of information regarding this from any source. The Captain of our unit was named Davis. We were transfered to Rouen's Race track when the weather became cold. At the time of the Battle of the Bulge--we were given the opportunity to become infantry men and assist in that event. Am really sorry if I have broken any of your rules in this note. I hope if this is not the proper place to send this to.-that you would be so kind as to route it to where it should go. Thank you. Not a glamorous assignment,but some what important---?? Interviewed on this subject by The Atlanta History Center and the Schwan House recently.

I looked at the articles on the invasion. They mention only briefly that huge amounts of materiel were unloaded through the beaches. We ought to have an article on logistical support for the army in Europe in WWII. Was there a term for this type of unit? Did the 509th Port Battalian belong to a larger unit of this type? From your mention of "months" and "cold" and Battle of the Bulge, I am guessing you were there from a few months after the invasion until early 45. Do you know when the beach unloading shifted to established ports? alteripse 11:48, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
In Scrabble, Lets say i have a 20 point word, using all my tiles and a double word score. How would i score this. Would I:
1. Take 20 points add 50 points for all tiles and then double it giving me a score of 140? (20+50)*2=140
Or....
2. Take 20 points, double it and then add the 50 point bonus giving me a score of 90? (20*2)+50=90
You add the fifty point bonus on last, so your example would score (20*2)+50 = 90. Proto t c 09:56, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

I am trying to find the name of a song. I only know a few words. I sing it every morning to my granddaughter when I enter her room. The words are "Whose that knocking at my door, whose that knocking at my door?" That is all I know. I have asked, searched and no one seems to know anything about this song. I have a melody so I know a song exists. Can you help. It is driving me crazy. Thanks, Theresa B.
I NEED MORE INFORMATION WITH REGARDS TO THE IMPACT TSUNAMI HAD IN INDIA IN DECEMBER 2004
I'm trying to find the name of something used in bars. It's usually right behind the customer counter, it has a long flexible hose with a nozzle on the end. I think the nozzle has several buttons on the back, usually labelled with a letter, and my understanding/guess is that pushing different buttons calls different liquids through the hose. Common liquids are, I think, ginger ale, tonic water, etc. I'm actually looking for a schematic of how these things work too, but I figure a name is a good place to start. Thanks -- Aphex3 14:32, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
Did Neil Armstrong say that off the cuff? Or was it prepared for him beforehand?
<quote> 109:23:38 Armstrong: I'm at the foot of the ladder. The LM footpads are only depressed in the surface about 1 or 2 inches, although the surface appears to be very, very fine grained, as you get close to it. It's almost like a powder. (The) ground mass is very fine. (Pause) 109:24:13 Armstrong: I'm going to step off the LM now. (Long Pause) 109:24:48 Armstrong: That's one small step for (a) man; one giant leap for mankind. (Long Pause) 109:25:08 Armstrong: Yes, the surface is fine and powdery. I can kick it up loosely with my toe. It does adhere in fine layers, like powdered charcoal, to the sole and sides of my boots. I only go in a small fraction of an inch, maybe an eighth of an inch, but I can see the footprints of my boots and the treads in the fine, sandy particles. </quote>
Did you check our article on the Berlin Wall? It has a map... The article in the German Wikipedia on the Berliner Mauer also has a satellite image. Lupo 19:05, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
