An oil burning lamp was knocked over onto my bed and approx. 1/2 C. of the oil spilled out onto and into the mattress. How would one get rid of the oil, or at least eliminate the odor? Sould I wait until the oil has dried before I wash the bedding? Is there any hope of salvageing anything that was contaminated? Thank You, Ladawnaloveskonan

Auto VINs Provide Top-Level Info for a Specific Auto -- Found in the Trunk is a Sticker with Many 3-digit A/N Codes which specifies ALL Options Built INto that Particular Auto -- Here's My Problem!
Greetings from Cape Fear, NC first of all -- secondly, I am thrilled with Wikipedia Website; SUPER!
Re; VINs and Information Codes... After asking the supposed 'experts' (auto salesmen) about the Vehicle Identification Numbers and if they contain anything more than engine type, where made, color etc, they always replied stating those VINs were limited to that. So my REAL question is, when looking at an older automobile that's long since had it's window sticker removed, there MUST be some sort of sticker somewhere affixed to the auto that denotes every single option and package that went into building that particular VIN-numbered auto. In Cadillac's detailed owners manual (for all their recent autos) they point out a index card-sized sticker underneath the panel in the trunk floor that covers the spare... I found it and copied ALL the codes. There must've been ten rows of 3-digit, alphanumeric codes, and about 20 of those codes per line. My guess is that those codes represent every specific option that went into the build of that particular auto, basically giving a rundown on it's uniqueness.
BUT, for the life of me, I cannot find any form of cross-reference list that would spell-out exactly WHAT option each of those Codes STOOD FOR!
I am with hopes that I can find it here, through Wikipedia, through one of the good folks that find great use of this Site as I do! Thank-you in advance, as I'm pretty sure I'm asking the right question at the RIGHT PLACE! :-)

I found two pieces of misinformation about the water moccasin. You state that they are good climbers and that they are aggressive. Neither is true. Many of the non-poisonous water snakes are indeed good climbers and may go into trees 10 to 20 feet high to sun themselves.
On the point of water moccasin aggression, they are sometimes bold, even curious about the presence of humans. However, once they feel that they are in harm's way, they will do one of two things: 1- stand their ground, often vibrating their tail and opening their mouth, revealing the inner white (thus the name cottonmouth). This behavior is often mistaken for aggression. But, in all my years of catching and observing cottonmouths, I've never had one attack. 2- Rapidly flee. Snakes near the water almost always make a run for it. They tend to stand their ground only as a last resort when away from the water and cannot flee into their element.
Hope this helps clear up some misunderstandings about the water moccasin.

Hi! When abroad with a mobile phone (roaming) in order to dial a local number where you are you have to dial the full country and local code as if you were at home. Does this apply to emergency telephone numbers? or do you just dial 112 or 911 etc.. Declan
Hi Declan. You just dial the emergency number, no need for the country and local code. If you are anywhere in the European Union, you dial 1-1-2. In the USA, dial 9-1-1. In Australia, dial 0-0-0. And so on. It is worth being aware of the emergency number in whatever country you travel to, as they do vary. See Emergency telephone number. Proto t c 09:45, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

In Norway it's 1-1-0 for fire, 1-1-2 for police and 1-1-3 for medical emergencies (if you are using a mobile phone 9-1-1 will also also be recognized as an emergensy number and forward you to 1-1-2 automaticaly (it's part of the phone software and/or the GSM network, there is no special treatment for 9-1-1 in the Norwegian phone grid, so from a regular phone 9-1-1 is just a incomplete number)). -- Sherool 01:48, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Every morning, I wake up and discover that slugs have spent the night merrily smearing intricate, glistening trails all over the living room.

I suggest you do not drop salt on a slug that is on a carpet or any other interior surface. Once you salt a slug it will immediately exsanguinate the slug way --oozing not blood but oozy gooey fluid from the slugs inside. A very sticky unpleasant mess.
I'm trying to catalogue a photo album of about 200 JPEGs drawn from different sources. I've found that I can comment on some of the pictures (by selecting 'Properties' from the menu), but others do not allow me to do so. Does anyone know why this is, or how I can add a comment to each file? Thanks. Gareth Hughes 18:24, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
'Read only' is a good call. I changed all permissions to read and write, but it still doesn't seem to work. Gwenview allows commenting on JPEGs, but on some it says This image can't be commented. I've tried to use the GIMP, but I can't find anything about commenting there. Some properties dialogues have Meta Info and others don't. I don't have Kuickshow, so I can't try that at the moment. Any thoughts? Gareth Hughes 18:56, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
Ah, that's helpful. By resaving images via GIMP I get complete control of the comment field. It maybe that some of the images are in a format that doesn't allow comments, but GIMP can convert them. The process is quite long-winded, so I might take a look at Kuickshow. Thanks. Gareth Hughes 20:24, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

hi i one of my students here in taiwan asked me a question and not sure what it really is could you please help me.
he asked me in the african culture why do they plant a tree when a baby is born?
thanks cary
In Asian culture, why do they expose their dead to carrion birds?
First, it is as hazardous to make generalizations about "African culture" as "Asian culture"; you are asking about a specific practice of a specific society. Do you know which society? It is usually impossible to answer a "why" question about a cultural practice.
Second, the kinds of answers one can give to a why question could include any of the following:
thanks for helping me it this but i'm really sorry i still dont get it.
he didnt say exactly in which culture just in general the african culture. I'm getting some feeling its just something in that certain culture and not really any explenation for this and its just something they do. i understand what you saying wththe asian culture but do you think its the same with this african culture?
OK, let me spell out the answer a bit. First, there is no more a single African culture than there is Asian culture. There are hundreds of African cultures. That means that unless the practice is so famous and widely known (like the Zoroastrian funerary practices), you need to specify a culture in order to confirm the authenticity of the practice and find more information about it. Second, think about what kind of answer you want to your "why" question. Here are some very different ways of answering such a why question:
These kinds of answers are sometimes not very intellectually persuasive. I think sometimes the answer is literally "because it is the way of our people". In other words, many cultural rituals serve no other purpose than to promote identification with that culture. We could start a large argument by gathering some anthropoligists and Theorists and evolutionary psychologists and sociologists and folklore experts and asking them why a certain cultural practice is performed. So I ask you again, what kind of answer to why do you want? alteripse 22:04, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Easy question. See [6] which says 10 yrs is average & longest recorded was 43 years. So a goldfish year is roughly 7 human years (perhaps less if you equate with human lifespan in captivity), and a 5 year old goldfish is thirtysomething. alteripse 20:41, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

What is the loud holler of the old west cattle herders ? what is that word used ?
Animals respond more to volume, tone and attitude than to words (try it), so I doubt whether they would yell any specific words, though probably quite a lot of swear words would be useful in conducting their daily business; "hey" probably gets a bit boring after a while. At the start of Rawhide someone hollers "Herd 'em up! Mooooo-ve 'em out!" but this is an instruction to the herdsmen rather than the herd. Shantavira 08:08, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Due to advances in engineering and technology, each year fewer workers are required to support an ever increasing production environment. The only answer to this problem is for labor to become more competitive. If this isn't done, there will eventually be no opportunity for Union workers in this country.
The old adversarial roles are just useless. Business (profit) dictates. Unions can either become part of the problem (and be eliminated), or they can choose to become part of the solution (an asset highly valued by all concerned).
The only way for Unions to dump their old image and reestablish themselves as an important part of the labor/employer equation is for Unions to lead the way in merging technology with the labor pool to produce a sort of "Union Hall on the Internet" where both members and employers can get together. If this is done properly, it will benefit both members and employers greatly, and the old days of contention between workers and employers can be replaced by an atmosphere of mutual need and respect.
Now listen carefully. I've built a working model, and over the last 20+ years we've pretty well debugged the process. So … I'm not just spouting off here. Using the process we've developed, Unions could make the transition cleanly to a new and more effective business model … one that could help them thrive in today's ever changing labor market.
The other Unions I've contacted are apparently too busy to listen. Remember the definition of a crazy person? Someone who keeps repeating the same actions over and over expecting a different result?
So … maybe that says something about you if you decide not to answer this email?

Doctor of Philosophy might have the information you're looking for. Based on my own anecdotal evidence, however, getting a PhD in the sciences in the US is a process that requires a lot of time, effort, and money. If one is not already "studying at that level" (not sure what you mean by that) simply "publishing something" will not be sufficient — most doctoral graduates are expected to have published a large body of research by the time they graduate, in addition to fulfilling coursework obligations with high grades. If the research published is exceptional, it may be a ticket to begin studying/researching at the PhD level. android 79 14:11, September 8, 2005 (UTC)

I tried to find other sources to validate that he was indeed a victim of extortion, but there are not specific sources listed.
Is there any way to find out more?
Also, I think the US media should publicly clear his name if this is true.
thanks a ton.

I am planning to go to Europe on vacation, and like the look European version of the Focus and am thinking about getting one over there (so I don't have to rent a car) and taking it back with me. Is this feasable? What about a right hand drive version?
You might also look into buy-back programs. Some manufacturers have programs where you can buy a car in Europe, use it for a period oftime, and then sell it back to the manufacturer (or its dealer). The buy-back price is set at the time of purchase, but is subject to rules about how far you can drive, the return condition, etc. Ground Zero | t
For a mass-market car like the Focus, the costs of shipping it across the Atlantic, import duties, sorting out compliance approval so you can register it in the US, and so on, are likely to far outweigh the cost of simply selling the car when you leaving and buying another one when back in the States. Keep in mind that you won't get warranty coverage for your car in the US, and its resale value when you eventually do decide to sell it will be less than a US-market car.
Your best bet might be a second-hand car whilst you're in Europe, if you're going to be there for a long enough time to justify a purchase. As soon as you drive a new car off the lot its value immediately drops substantially, whereas a resale has considerably less of an effect. The other thing to keep in mind that, at least in the UK and Germany where I visited, cars were much more expensive than the United States.
In any case, might I suggest you borrow or buy a Lonely Planet guide to the countries you intend to visit? They generally have a section on hiring, buying, or using your own car. -- Robert Merkel

I Live in western washington and have found a very "furry" caterpillar which has black at both ends with the center of the body being of a reddish or copperish color. My son would like to know what kind of plant to feed it and what it will turn into. ----
In my experience, if you don't know what to feed a caterpillar, the thing it is most likely to turn into is a dead caterpillar. They will die before eating the "wrong" plant. If you didn't find it together with a host plant, I'd give serious consideration to releasing it. - Nunh-huh 02:01, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Here's a silly trivia question. Since I have an email address, I get dozens of those phishing scams under subject lines like "TKO: your eBay account could be suspended". I'm curious to know what a real TKO notice is. Under what circumstances would eBay send me one, and, specifically, what do those letters "TKO" stand for?
(It's remarkably hard to do a web search to answer this question. All you get is people asking "What's this TKO notice I just got?" and other people saying "It's a scam, ignore it, delete it, definitely don't click on any links in it!". But that much I already know.)

In cricket, advertising is pretty much universal within grounds - for example, here's a typical picture of Australia's Sydney Cricket Ground, and here's another one, of English bowler Darren Gough. On the SCG picture you can also see a sponsor's logo painted on the turf. This level of sponsorship is also the norm in football (soccer), rugby etc in Britain, and I've seen logos beneath the ice on Canadian ice hockey rinks. Yet in what I've seen of US baseball the fence is painted plain dark green, with no billboards at all around the "boundary" (to use a cricket term), and baseball players' shirts do not (as far as I can see) carry commercial sponsorship at all. Why not? Loganberry ( Talk) 16:21, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

On the following page two Executive Orders are cited, one is given a specific number I could use to look it up and read it in its entirity... the other is not. Here is the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_denomination_bills_in_U.S._currency
My original question was why my bank teller said she could not give to me a $500 bill (if she ever got one). She said she could be in serious trouble if she did not turn it over to the federal gov't right away. Some searching led me to your site, and the page referenced above. This page does not say it is illegal for a bank to sell it to a customer, or for a teller to purchase it from her drawer and sell it to a collector at a mark up (thus out of circulation). It only says "Circulation... was halted... 1969 Executive Order". I would like to read this Order to see if they must be destroyed, and/or if there are any penalties for not turning one in.
If this information is found, could you please simply add the appropriate reference to the current article, and possibly a link to the Order like the other one on that page, so I can read the whole Order. Thank you, and I will be checking back again soon.

Hello. I recently found out about Wikipedia and since then, I've enjoyed thoroughly on looking up information, people, places, and events. One night, I was looking up some people on Wikipedia and came across on looking up Julia Roberts. As I was reading down information on her, I found out that she is a long time fan of a soap opera show "Days of Our Lives", according to Wikipedia. However, from what I recall, she is a big fan of a soap opera show "All My Children". Please forgive me for not being able to remember and cite properly on what show I saw her on a few years back, but she was on an Award show, possibly on Emmy Awards or even Academy Awards, saying how happy she was for winning an award, but what made her even happier was that she said she saw the whole cast of her favorite TV show "All My Children" on the award show. I'm pretty sure she is a big fan of "All My Children" because not only did she say that, but she said that on live TV show.
Any positive feedback on this piece of information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Porcupine75@email deleted
I found out that Julia Roberts is indeed a big fan of "Days of Our Lives" soap opera, thanks to http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000210/bio ..... "At the 2002 Peoples Choice Awards she admitted to being a huge fan of "Days of Our Lives" (1965) and asked to be seated near the cast."

Prime numbers are natural numbers (i.e. integers equal or greater than 1) that can only be divided by themselves and 1.
The exception is 1 itself, which is generally not considered a prime number. The reason for this is that this greatly simplifies a mathematical rule: every natural number can be expressed as a unique collection of prime factors (i.e. prime numbers that, when multiplied by each other, make up the number). If 1 were a prime number, you could add 1 to this collection as many times as you like, and it wouldn't be unique any more. — JIP | Talk 17:14, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Last night I got a new-to-me computer. It's an old PC that I hope to use to learn a bit more about computers. I plan on putting Linux on it.
It's an HP with a 500 Mhz Intel Celeron. The problem lies in the hard drive. It's about 7 years old and on its last leg. So I called around today to find out about a new hard drive. I talked to three people and got three different responses about what I needed.
Guy 1) Either a 40 or 80 GB drive would do but the mother board might not be able to write to all of the 80. So I might only get about 60 GB capacity. But seeing as how the prices for 40's and 80's are so close, I might as well go with the 80 and get what I can out of it.
Guy 2) This guy didn't want to sell me anything. He told me I need to flash the chip to get it to recognize a larger drive and after I did that he would sell me a hard drive. I don't need that big of a drive since it's just something to learn with.
Guy 3) The mother board is so old that I probably won't be able to see all of a 40 GB drive (or even an 80). At most I'd only be able to use 20 GB of it. Also, flashing the chip has a 50% chance of frying the chip.
So, I've decided to ask a bunch of people on the internet and get even more responses. :D What part of all this is correct? Anyone have anymore input? Dismas| (talk) 20:54, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

The first major joint military alliance was World War 1, but the countries intermittently acted together on more minor issues for most of the latter 19th century. The last period of serious hostility was during the American Civil War, when significant sentiment in Great Britain favored the Confederate States. The British government avoided egregious violations of neutrality and US-British relations steadily improved thereafter. alteripse 03:34, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Remember that Great Britain has not been a country as such for over 200 years (see Kingdom of Great Britain. In the 19th century, it was the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, then after the partition of Ireland in the 1920s it gained its current title of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Incidentally, although the British Isles (terminology) article says that the terms "Britain" and "Great Britain" are interchangeable (and mean England, Scotland and Wales) I know a number of people who do draw a distinction, and for whom "Britain" includes Northern Ireland while "Great Britain" does not.

Hi,I have a question actually,not comment. There is this one 'thing' that has been bothering my mind for a long time.I know that whatever we see or feel need sensory nerves to send impulse to the brain so that the brain can interpret what actually is happening.The impulses must have needed some time to be sent to the brain and got interpreted and send reaction to the muscles to react.So it actually need time to send impulse to the brain and reply from the brain to the muscles.Example,our eyes are looking at a ball falling from a table.The light reflected from the ball to our retina and then to the brain later interpreted and back to our eyes needed time.What I'm curious about is,is it whatever that happen in front of us is actually happen a few seconds ago?I mean,we get the 'message' from the brain later than the incident.

I can't quite remember the rules for the order in which academic degrees should be placed after a person's name. I have a vague memory that higher degrees are placed first, and then degrees of equal rank are place earliest to latest. Can anyone find a definitive source on this? Gareth Hughes 23:52, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
I always list mine in the order I received them, except that I usually omit the non-doctorates and honoraries. A full list, as I would prepare it, would be: B.A., M.A.R., Ph.D., J.C.D., S.T.D. (h.c.), Th.D. (h.c.), but as not to be pretentious, I usually just cite Ph.D., J.C.D. as the first two are assumed in the Ph.D., and the final two are honoraries (for the most part, attempts to get me to make donations). Perhaps I've been doing it wrong all these years! -- Essjay · Talk 17:13, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
They're both religious degrees (i.e., from a seminary, rather than a university) and thus, much easier to come by. I have a friend who is an Archbishop, and he has thirteen or fourteen of them!

Hi - I want to know the meaning of a lyric in a 2 Live Crew song, "We Want Some Pussy". In one of the lines in the song they say "Let's have group sex and do the Rambo". I want to know what they mean by "do the Rambo"? I realise that this is explicit and I apolagize if this question offends, but it is something I have wondered since I was a young teen. Cheers.
"the Rambo" reference has to do with "taking out as many guys out while solo," as Rambo did, refering to how in previous lyrics before that line are referring to many men taking turns with one girl.

hello again, this question is in regrds of how poor is romania ? is there a comparison ? for exapmle, how much does a house sell for in american currency ? or is it literally cheap over there ? thank yu again keep up the good work :D
A lot is incommensurate. Romanian currency is generally undervalued in terms of international currency exchange, so the local purchasing power of the leu is 4-5 times what it brings in foreign exchange. The ratio of property prices to Western Europe is comparable: if you pick, say, a city in Spain and a comparably sized city in Romanian, a comparable housing unit in Romania will cost about 15-25% of what it does in Spain: 15% in poorer rural areas, 25% (maybe a little more this last year or two) in Bucharest, or in some of the Transylvanian cities, which have stronger economies than the general economy.
Most Romanians own rather than rent their dwellings, which also makes comparisons difficult.
Does that more or less answer your question? I probably won't be looking at this topic again (I usually zip through these topics once each), so if you want to follow up, ask me on my talk page.

I have reasently been thinking about the different types of people in my school, and indeed different people out side of school. One thing that struk me was that there are manny people trying to be people that they are not, or are trying to acomplish somthing, and ultimatly, will never be able to do so, due to there very nature. This led me to thinking are these people foolish or, are they brave to try and be or do somthing they are not? Now Correct me if I am wrong, but the general consensouse is that, it is brave to for go peoples expectations and be somthing different, good or bad. I on the other hand am not convinced, if you try and do/be somthing but you will never acomplish it then why start in the first place? Wouldn't these people be wasting their time and effort, when they could be doing somthing much more acomplishable? But then again isn't that brave? Trying to do somthing that they will fail in? I leave this to you to answer. It would be much appreashiated. Andy p.s. sorry about the spelling and punctuation. I'm not very good at that sort of thing.

Okay, as gross/esoteric as this is, my ex-girlfriend and I basically had a yearlong ever-escalating threat war. We exchanged vows of disgusting punishment until we arrived at what I found to be a realistic threat of assault. So...given proper tubing/environmental circumstances, is it possible to use one's own excretory force to reverse flow of the out tube? Any suggestions you have are appreciated.
The way the lower intestine is set up, feces isn't expelled with much "force", its more let out than forced out. and the sphicter is more than powerful enough to prevent any unwanted entry from something mushy with little force behind it. However, if someone had a very loose anus and WANTED to get feces up their anus, then this would be very possible, albeit very unhealthy.

Occasionally I feel a rather odd sensation in the back of my neck. It usually occurs only when my stomach is empty, and growling, though I cannot say that with absolute certainty. It lasts for only a few seconds, and can occur several times in an hour, though I've gone for months on end without experiencing it. I can feel it when it happens as well as hear it through the tissues in my head (much like the slight crackling sound bubbles in your saliva can make every time you swallow--though much more profound). I've discussed this with several coworkers who claim to have felt the same sensation. One coworker claimed it occurred after he felt a popping somewhere in his upper back, almost like (IIRC) the fluidic padding around one of his vertebra broke (much like cracking your knucles) and the released fluid bubbled its way up the spinal column. This is, however, just a guess.

(No question asked)
Hello,
A friend of the family had served in Germany during WW2. How he came into possession of this Deutsche Mark note is unknown, but he thought it extremely valuable. He brought it home and often said if times got financially tough, he would redeem the note. He died recently and the relatives were handling his last possessions and found the note tucked away. It is damaged considerably,but the writing is still fairly legible. One side of the bill has 100,000 centered on it. in the lower part of the frame is a large A. The other side has the words KREIS KEMPEN centered at the top, with HUNDERD TOUSEND written in the middle section. At the bottom are the words Kempen Rh den 1 Aug 1923
We suspicion that he saw this as valuable in ways other than sentimental, but only an expert can clarify it at this point. Anything you can do to help with this will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and attention.

I am creating an internal set of standards for web authors at work. This is a newly created decentralized model. A couple of examples are below:
Ø Underlining – Should never be used unless it is a hyperlink. Best practices dictate that underlined items are always a hyperlink
Ø No text to read “Click here” – Visually impaired end users (section 508) use readers to navigate. These readers leave a visually impaired end user at a disadvantage when there is no call to action. Authors should name the link or at the very least use verbiage such as “Learn more”
I would appreciate any additional thoughts on this subject.
Again, these are standards and not guidelines.
Thank you

There aren't enough names beginning with the letter "Q", so it was skipped. Same with X, Y and Z. User:Zoe| (talk) 07:11, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
Because they use 6 year cycles for hurricanes (3 each for male and female) and have difficulty finding 3 names of both male and female that are easily pronouncable in all North and South American languages. Additionally, if one of these Q-named storms caused significant damage, its name would be retired and they would have to find yet ANOTHER Q-name that fit the above criteria. more info - Drdisque 07:14, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

the former Class C addresses, was initially and is still reserved by the IANA. Given the present classless nature of the IP address space, the basis for the reservation no longer applies and addresses in this block are subject to future allocation to a Regional Internet Registry for assignment in the normal manner.
192.0.2.0/24 - This block is assigned as "TEST-NET" for use in documentation and example code. It is often used in conjunction with domain names example.com or example.net in vendor and protocol documentation. Addresses within this block should not appear on the public Internet.

HOW AN OWNER WITH LESS NUMBER OF SHARES CAN CONTROL THE COMPANY EFFECTIVELY ADMIST SHARE HOLDERS HAVING LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES?-- S.Muthukannan 09:28, 24 September 2005 (UTC)s.muthu
If you mean controlling over the long term, there are many ways. For example, if a lot of non-voting stock has been issued, then this "owner" (your terminology) might have a majority of the voting shares. Or he might have allies who, together with him, own a majority of the shares. Or he might simply be able to take advantage of the fact that many shareholders don't pay much attention to the companies they own stock in.

Auto VINs Provide Top-Level Info for a Specific Auto -- Found in the Trunk is a Sticker with Many 3-digit A/N Codes which specifies ALL Options Built INto that Particular Auto -- Here's My Problem!
Greetings from Cape Fear, NC first of all -- secondly, I am thrilled with Wikipedia Website; SUPER!
Re; VINs and Information Codes... After asking the supposed 'experts' (auto salesmen) about the Vehicle Identification Numbers and if they contain anything more than engine type, where made, color etc, they always replied stating those VINs were limited to that. So my REAL question is, when looking at an older automobile that's long since had it's window sticker removed, there MUST be some sort of sticker somewhere affixed to the auto that denotes every single option and package that went into building that particular VIN-numbered auto. In Cadillac's detailed owners manual (for all their recent autos) they point out a index card-sized sticker underneath the panel in the trunk floor that covers the spare... I found it and copied ALL the codes. There must've been ten rows of 3-digit, alphanumeric codes, and about 20 of those codes per line. My guess is that those codes represent every specific option that went into the build of that particular auto, basically giving a rundown on it's uniqueness.
BUT, for the life of me, I cannot find any form of cross-reference list that would spell-out exactly WHAT option each of those Codes STOOD FOR!
I am with hopes that I can find it here, through Wikipedia, through one of the good folks that find great use of this Site as I do! Thank-you in advance, as I'm pretty sure I'm asking the right question at the RIGHT PLACE! :-)

I found two pieces of misinformation about the water moccasin. You state that they are good climbers and that they are aggressive. Neither is true. Many of the non-poisonous water snakes are indeed good climbers and may go into trees 10 to 20 feet high to sun themselves.
On the point of water moccasin aggression, they are sometimes bold, even curious about the presence of humans. However, once they feel that they are in harm's way, they will do one of two things: 1- stand their ground, often vibrating their tail and opening their mouth, revealing the inner white (thus the name cottonmouth). This behavior is often mistaken for aggression. But, in all my years of catching and observing cottonmouths, I've never had one attack. 2- Rapidly flee. Snakes near the water almost always make a run for it. They tend to stand their ground only as a last resort when away from the water and cannot flee into their element.
Hope this helps clear up some misunderstandings about the water moccasin.

Hi! When abroad with a mobile phone (roaming) in order to dial a local number where you are you have to dial the full country and local code as if you were at home. Does this apply to emergency telephone numbers? or do you just dial 112 or 911 etc.. Declan
Hi Declan. You just dial the emergency number, no need for the country and local code. If you are anywhere in the European Union, you dial 1-1-2. In the USA, dial 9-1-1. In Australia, dial 0-0-0. And so on. It is worth being aware of the emergency number in whatever country you travel to, as they do vary. See Emergency telephone number. Proto t c 09:45, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

In Norway it's 1-1-0 for fire, 1-1-2 for police and 1-1-3 for medical emergencies (if you are using a mobile phone 9-1-1 will also also be recognized as an emergensy number and forward you to 1-1-2 automaticaly (it's part of the phone software and/or the GSM network, there is no special treatment for 9-1-1 in the Norwegian phone grid, so from a regular phone 9-1-1 is just a incomplete number)). -- Sherool 01:48, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm trying to catalogue a photo album of about 200 JPEGs drawn from different sources.

'Read only' is a good call. I changed all permissions to read and write, but it still doesn't seem to work. Gwenview allows commenting on JPEGs, but on some it says This image can't be commented. I've tried to use the GIMP, but I can't find anything about commenting there. Some properties dialogues have Meta Info and others don't. I don't have Kuickshow, so I can't try that at the moment. Any thoughts? Gareth Hughes 18:56, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
Ah, that's helpful. By resaving images via GIMP I get complete control of the comment field. It maybe that some of the images are in a format that doesn't allow comments, but GIMP can convert them. The process is quite long-winded, so I might take a look at Kuickshow. Thanks. Gareth Hughes 20:24, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

hi i one of my students here in taiwan asked me a question and not sure what it really is could you please help me.
he asked me in the african culture why do they plant a tree when a baby is born?
thanks cary
In Asian culture, why do they expose their dead to carrion birds?
First, it is as hazardous to make generalizations about "African culture" as "Asian culture"; you are asking about a specific practice of a specific society. Do you know which society? It is usually impossible to answer a "why" question about a cultural practice.
Second, the kinds of answers one can give to a why question could include any of the following:
thanks for helping me it this but i'm really sorry i still dont get it.
he didnt say exactly in which culture just in general the african culture. I'm getting some feeling its just something in that certain culture and not really any explenation for this and its just something they do. i understand what you saying wththe asian culture but do you think its the same with this african culture?
OK, let me spell out the answer a bit. First, there is no more a single African culture than there is Asian culture. There are hundreds of African cultures. That means that unless the practice is so famous and widely known (like the Zoroastrian funerary practices), you need to specify a culture in order to confirm the authenticity of the practice and find more information about it. Second, think about what kind of answer you want to your "why" question. Here are some very different ways of answering such a why question:
These kinds of answers are sometimes not very intellectually persuasive. I think sometimes the answer is literally "because it is the way of our people". In other words, many cultural rituals serve no other purpose than to promote identification with that culture. We could start a large argument by gathering some anthropoligists and Theorists and evolutionary psychologists and sociologists and folklore experts and asking them why a certain cultural practice is performed. So I ask you again, what kind of answer to why do you want? alteripse 22:04, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

This weekend we are celebrating our goldfish's 5th birthday and I have just done an internet search trying to find out how old a fish is in relation to human years. Plenty of info on mamal correlations - cats, dogs, hamsters. I could find nothing on fish.
Got any info on this subject?
Thanks
Kasey H.
Easy question. See [6] which says 10 yrs is average & longest recorded was 43 years. So a goldfish year is roughly 7 human years (perhaps less if you equate with human lifespan in captivity), and a 5 year old goldfish is thirtysomething. alteripse 20:41, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

What is the loud holler of the old west cattle herders ? what is that word used ?
Animals respond more to volume, tone and attitude than to words (try it), so I doubt whether they would yell any specific words, though probably quite a lot of swear words would be useful in conducting their daily business; "hey" probably gets a bit boring after a while. At the start of Rawhide someone hollers "Herd 'em up! Mooooo-ve 'em out!" but this is an instruction to the herdsmen rather than the herd. Shantavira 08:08, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Due to advances in engineering and technology, each year fewer workers are required to support an ever increasing production environment. The only answer to this problem is for labor to become more competitive. If this isn't done, there will eventually be no opportunity for Union workers in this country.
The old adversarial roles are just useless. Business (profit) dictates. Unions can either become part of the problem (and be eliminated), or they can choose to become part of the solution (an asset highly valued by all concerned).
The only way for Unions to dump their old image and reestablish themselves as an important part of the labor/employer equation is for Unions to lead the way in merging technology with the labor pool to produce a sort of "Union Hall on the Internet" where both members and employers can get together. If this is done properly, it will benefit both members and employers greatly, and the old days of contention between workers and employers can be replaced by an atmosphere of mutual need and respect.
Now listen carefully. I've built a working model, and over the last 20+ years we've pretty well debugged the process. So … I'm not just spouting off here. Using the process we've developed, Unions could make the transition cleanly to a new and more effective business model … one that could help them thrive in today's ever changing labor market.
The other Unions I've contacted are apparently too busy to listen. Remember the definition of a crazy person? Someone who keeps repeating the same actions over and over expecting a different result?
So … maybe that says something about you if you decide not to answer this email?

I had recently looked up on the Island of Guam and I was very shocked to see under unofficial languages listed Chuukese as a language used so that if a homeless person talks to you you could pretend not to understand english. Yet you have a whole page on the Island of Chuuk. If you would like to know more about the Island I would suggest you talk to Mr. Sachuo at the University of Guam. I am sorry I dont know his first name but I do know him as a respected Chuukese educator at the University of Guam. If you can not contact him I would also suggest Mr. Robert Balajadia at the Guam Community College. When I was in high school he was my Chamorro Studies teacher and I am pretty sure he can guide you in the right direction.

Doctor of Philosophy might have the information you're looking for. Based on my own anecdotal evidence, however, getting a PhD in the sciences in the US is a process that requires a lot of time, effort, and money. If one is not already "studying at that level" (not sure what you mean by that) simply "publishing something" will not be sufficient — most doctoral graduates are expected to have published a large body of research by the time they graduate, in addition to fulfilling coursework obligations with high grades. If the research published is exceptional, it may be a ticket to begin studying/researching at the PhD level. android 79 14:11, September 8, 2005 (UTC)

I am planning to go to Europe on vacation, and like the look European version of the Focus and am thinking about getting one over there (so I don't have to rent a car) and taking it back with me. Is this feasable? What about a right hand drive version?
You might also look into buy-back programs. Some manufacturers have programs where you can buy a car in Europe, use it for a period oftime, and then sell it back to the manufacturer (or its dealer). The buy-back price is set at the time of purchase, but is subject to rules about how far you can drive, the return condition, etc. Ground Zero | t
For a mass-market car like the Focus, the costs of shipping it across the Atlantic, import duties, sorting out compliance approval so you can register it in the US, and so on, are likely to far outweigh the cost of simply selling the car when you leaving and buying another one when back in the States. Keep in mind that you won't get warranty coverage for your car in the US, and its resale value when you eventually do decide to sell it will be less than a US-market car.
Your best bet might be a second-hand car whilst you're in Europe, if you're going to be there for a long enough time to justify a purchase. As soon as you drive a new car off the lot its value immediately drops substantially, whereas a resale has considerably less of an effect. The other thing to keep in mind that, at least in the UK and Germany where I visited, cars were much more expensive than the United States.
In any case, might I suggest you borrow or buy a Lonely Planet guide to the countries you intend to visit? They generally have a section on hiring, buying, or using your own car. -- Robert Merkel

In my experience, if you don't know what to feed a caterpillar, the thing it is most likely to turn into is a dead caterpillar. They will die before eating the "wrong" plant.

In cricket, advertising is pretty much universal within grounds - for example, here's a typical picture of Australia's Sydney Cricket Ground, and here's another one, of English bowler Darren Gough. On the SCG picture you can also see a sponsor's logo painted on the turf. This level of sponsorship is also the norm in football (soccer), rugby etc in Britain, and I've seen logos beneath the ice on Canadian ice hockey rinks. Yet in what I've seen of US baseball the fence is painted plain dark green, with no billboards at all around the "boundary" (to use a cricket term), and baseball players' shirts do not (as far as I can see) carry commercial sponsorship at all.

She said she could be in serious trouble if she did not turn it over to the federal gov't right away. Some searching led me to your site, and the page referenced above. This page does not say it is illegal for a bank to sell it to a customer, or for a teller to purchase it from her drawer and sell it to a collector at a mark up (thus out of circulation). It only says "Circulation... was halted... 1969 Executive Order". I would like to read this Order to see if they must be destroyed, and/or if there are any penalties for not turning one in.
If this information is found, could you please simply add the appropriate reference to the current article, and possibly a link to the Order like the other one on that page, so I can read the whole Order. Thank you, and I will be checking back again soon.

Hello. I recently found out about Wikipedia and since then, I've enjoyed thoroughly on looking up information, people, places, and events. One night, I was looking up some people on Wikipedia and came across on looking up Julia Roberts. As I was reading down information on her, I found out that she is a long time fan of a soap opera show "Days of Our Lives", according to Wikipedia. However, from what I recall, she is a big fan of a soap opera show "All My Children". Please forgive me for not being able to remember and cite properly on what show I saw her on a few years back, but she was on an Award show, possibly on Emmy Awards or even Academy Awards, saying how happy she was for winning an award, but what made her even happier was that she said she saw the whole cast of her favorite TV show "All My Children" on the award show. I'm pretty sure she is a big fan of "All My Children" because not only did she say that, but she said that on live TV show.
Any positive feedback on this piece of information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Porcupine75@email deleted

Prime numbers are natural numbers (i.e. integers equal or greater than 1) that can only be divided by themselves and 1.
The exception is 1 itself, which is generally not considered a prime number. The reason for this is that this greatly simplifies a mathematical rule: every natural number can be expressed as a unique collection of prime factors (i.e. prime numbers that, when multiplied by each other, make up the number). If 1 were a prime number, you could add 1 to this collection as many times as you like, and it wouldn't be unique any more. — JIP | Talk 17:14, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Last night I got a new-to-me computer. It's an old PC that I hope to use to learn a bit more about computers. I plan on putting Linux on it.
It's an HP with a 500 Mhz Intel Celeron. The problem lies in the hard drive. It's about 7 years old and on its last leg. So I called around today to find out about a new hard drive. I talked to three people and got three different responses about what I needed.
Guy 1) Either a 40 or 80 GB drive would do but the mother board might not be able to write to all of the 80. So I might only get about 60 GB capacity. But seeing as how the prices for 40's and 80's are so close, I might as well go with the 80 and get what I can out of it.
Guy 2) This guy didn't want to sell me anything. He told me I need to flash the chip to get it to recognize a larger drive and after I did that he would sell me a hard drive. I don't need that big of a drive since it's just something to learn with.
Guy 3) The mother board is so old that I probably won't be able to see all of a 40 GB drive (or even an 80). At most I'd only be able to use 20 GB of it. Also, flashing the chip has a 50% chance of frying the chip.
So, I've decided to ask a bunch of people on the internet and get even more responses. :D What part of all this is correct? Anyone have anymore input? Dismas| (talk) 20:54, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

That said, you might find what you are looking for here, although the Gregorian dates shown on that calendar only go back to Oct. 15, 1582 (which is when the Gregorian calendar was first adopted anywhere, so trying to find Gregorian dates for anything earlier than that is purely an academic exercise); earlier dates are Julian dates.

---Jon
The first major joint military alliance was World War 1, but the countries intermittently acted together on more minor issues for most of the latter 19th century. The last period of serious hostility was during the American Civil War, when significant sentiment in Great Britain favored the Confederate States. The British government avoided egregious violations of neutrality and US-British relations steadily improved thereafter. alteripse 03:34, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Remember that Great Britain has not been a country as such for over 200 years (see Kingdom of Great Britain. In the 19th century, it was the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, then after the partition of Ireland in the 1920s it gained its current title of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Incidentally, although the British Isles (terminology) article says that the terms "Britain" and "Great Britain" are interchangeable (and mean England, Scotland and Wales) I know a number of people who do draw a distinction, and for whom "Britain" includes Northern Ireland while "Great Britain" does not. I don't know how common this is. Loganberry ( Talk) 11:31, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi,I have a question actually,not comment. There is this one 'thing' that has been bothering my mind for a long time.I know that whatever we see or feel need sensory nerves to send impulse to the brain so that the brain can interpret what actually is happening.The impulses must have needed some time to be sent to the brain and got interpreted and send reaction to the muscles to react.So it actually need time to send impulse to the brain and reply from the brain to the muscles.Example,our eyes are looking at a ball falling from a table.The light reflected from the ball to our retina and then to the brain later interpreted and back to our eyes needed time.What I'm curious about is,is it whatever that happen in front of us is actually happen a few seconds ago?I mean,we get the 'message' from the brain later than the incident.

I can't quite remember the rules for the order in which academic degrees should be placed after a person's name. I have a vague memory that higher degrees are placed first, and then degrees of equal rank are place earliest to latest. Can anyone find a definitive source on this? Gareth Hughes 23:52, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
I always list mine in the order I received them, except that I usually omit the non-doctorates and honoraries. A full list, as I would prepare it, would be: B.A., M.A.R., Ph.D., J.C.D., S.T.D. (h.c.), Th.D. (h.c.), but as not to be pretentious, I usually just cite Ph.D., J.C.D. as the first two are assumed in the Ph.D., and the final two are honoraries (for the most part, attempts to get me to make donations). Perhaps I've been doing it wrong all these years! -- Essjay · Talk 17:13, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi - I want to know the meaning of a lyric in a 2 Live Crew song, "We Want Some Pussy". In one of the lines in the song they say "Let's have group sex and do the Rambo".

"the Rambo" reference has to do with "taking out as many guys out while solo," as Rambo did, refering to how in previous lyrics before that line are referring to many men taking turns with one girl.

hello again, this question is in regrds of how poor is romania ? is there a comparison ? for exapmle, how much does a house sell for in american currency ? or is it literally cheap over there ? thank yu again keep up the good work :D
A lot is incommensurate. Romanian currency is generally undervalued in terms of international currency exchange, so the local purchasing power of the leu is 4-5 times what it brings in foreign exchange. The ratio of property prices to Western Europe is comparable: if you pick, say, a city in Spain and a comparably sized city in Romanian, a comparable housing unit in Romania will cost about 15-25% of what it does in Spain: 15% in poorer rural areas, 25% (maybe a little more this last year or two) in Bucharest, or in some of the Transylvanian cities, which have stronger economies than the general economy.
Most Romanians own rather than rent their dwellings, which also makes comparisons difficult.
Does that more or less answer your question? I probably won't be looking at this topic again (I usually zip through these topics once each), so if you want to follow up, ask me on my talk page.

I have reasently been thinking about the different types of people in my school, and indeed different people out side of school. One thing that struk me was that there are manny people trying to be people that they are not, or are trying to acomplish somthing, and ultimatly, will never be able to do so, due to there very nature. This led me to thinking are these people foolish or, are they brave to try and be or do somthing they are not? Now Correct me if I am wrong, but the general consensouse is that, it is brave to for go peoples expectations and be somthing different, good or bad. I on the other hand am not convinced, if you try and do/be somthing but you will never acomplish it then why start in the first place? Wouldn't these people be wasting their time and effort, when they could be doing somthing much more acomplishable? But then again isn't that brave? Trying to do somthing that they will fail in? I leave this to you to answer. It would be much appreashiated. Andy p.s. sorry about the spelling and punctuation. I'm not very good at that sort of thing.

Homecoming can have a couple different meanings. Normally it just means "coming home". In college and high school sports, esp. American football, it is generally the first home game of the season. At the school the game is normally held on a Saturday and a dance is traditionally held that night for the students to celebrate. A Homecoming Queen and king are generally chosen from the student body as part of the celebration. Dismas| (talk) 00:08, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Okay, as gross/esoteric as this is, my ex-girlfriend and I basically had a yearlong ever-escalating threat war. We exchanged vows of disgusting punishment until we arrived at what I found to be a realistic threat of assault. So...given proper tubing/environmental circumstances, is it possible to use one's own excretory force to reverse flow of the out tube? Any suggestions you have are appreciated.
The way the lower intestine is set up, feces isn't expelled with much "force", its more let out than forced out. and the sphicter is more than powerful enough to prevent any unwanted entry from something mushy with little force behind it. However, if someone had a very loose anus and WANTED to get feces up their anus, then this would be very possible, albeit very unhealthy.

Occasionally I feel a rather odd sensation in the back of my neck. It usually occurs only when my stomach is empty, and growling, though I cannot say that with absolute certainty. It lasts for only a few seconds, and can occur several times in an hour, though I've gone for months on end without experiencing it. I can feel it when it happens as well as hear it through the tissues in my head (much like the slight crackling sound bubbles in your saliva can make every time you swallow--though much more profound). I've discussed this with several coworkers who claim to have felt the same sensation. One coworker claimed it occurred after he felt a popping somewhere in his upper back, almost like (IIRC) the fluidic padding around one of his vertebra broke (much like cracking your knucles) and the released fluid bubbled its way up the spinal column. This is, however, just a guess.
Web searches (with keywords such as "spine", "fizz", "bubbling", etc.) turn up nothing substantial, with the exception of a phonetic pronunciation of the word "physician" à la fizz-ish'-in :).

I was given a homework assignment that involves research on Darwin's Finches. I have chosen the woodpecker Finch. Surprisingly, I am having a relative amount of difficulty finding which island in the Galapagos this bird is mostly found on. If you know the answer to this, please help me out.
I'm also wondering about some information on the general structure of a woodepecker finch that may make him different from other finches. I would much appreciate your help here, too. I am not looking for details, I just need a little help to get started.
Regards, -Connor
We don't yet have an article on the Woodpecker finch. However, our Darwin's finches article looks at the finches of the Galapagos. The Beak of the Finch (ISBN 0679400036) looks at the work of Peter and Rosemary Grant into changes in these finches. According to this article by Robert L Norton of Santa Fe Community College, the woodpecker finch is known for tool use see [39]. That should be enough to get you started. Good luck on your project.

Hello,
A friend of the family had served in Germany during WW2. How he came into possession of this Deutsche Mark note is unknown, but he thought it extremely valuable. He brought it home and often said if times got financially tough, he would redeem the note. He died recently and the relatives were handling his last possessions and found the note tucked away. It is damaged considerably,but the writing is still fairly legible. One side of the bill has 100,000 centered on it. in the lower part of the frame is a large A. The other side has the words KREIS KEMPEN centered at the top, with HUNDERD TOUSEND written in the middle section. At the bottom are the words Kempen Rh den 1 Aug 1923
We suspicion that he saw this as valuable in ways other than sentimental, but only an expert can clarify it at this point. Anything you can do to help with this will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and attention.

I am creating an internal set of standards for web authors at work. This is a newly created decentralized model. A couple of examples are below:
Ø Underlining – Should never be used unless it is a hyperlink. Best practices dictate that underlined items are always a hyperlink
Ø No text to read “Click here” – Visually impaired end users (section 508) use readers to navigate. These readers leave a visually impaired end user at a disadvantage when there is no call to action. Authors should name the link or at the very least use verbiage such as “Learn more”
I would appreciate any additional thoughts on this subject.
Again, these are standards and not guidelines.
Thank you

There aren't enough names beginning with the letter "Q", so it was skipped. Same with X, Y and Z. User:Zoe| (talk) 07:11, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
Because they use 6 year cycles for hurricanes (3 each for male and female) and have difficulty finding 3 names of both male and female that are easily pronouncable in all North and South American languages. Additionally, if one of these Q-named storms caused significant damage, its name would be retired and they would have to find yet ANOTHER Q-name that fit the above criteria. more info - Drdisque 07:14, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

It says: 192.0.0.0/24 - This block, corresponding to the numerically lowest of
the former Class C addresses, was initially and is still reserved by the IANA. Given the present classless nature of the IP address space, the basis for the reservation no longer applies and addresses in this block are subject to future allocation to a Regional Internet Registry for assignment in the normal manner.
192.0.2.0/24 - This block is assigned as "TEST-NET" for use in documentation and example code. It is often used in conjunction with domain names example.com or example.net in vendor and protocol documentation. Addresses within this block should not appear on the public Internet.

HOW AN OWNER WITH LESS NUMBER OF SHARES CAN CONTROL THE COMPANY EFFECTIVELY ADMIST SHARE HOLDERS HAVING LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES?-- S.Muthukannan 09:28, 24 September 2005 (UTC)s.muthu
If you mean controlling over the long term, there are many ways. For example, if a lot of non-voting stock has been issued, then this "owner" (your terminology) might have a majority of the voting shares. Or he might have allies who, together with him, own a majority of the shares. Or he might simply be able to take advantage of the fact that many shareholders don't pay much attention to the companies they own stock in.
