Would the Swiss system of national defense help in balancing the budget and guaranteeing civic participation?

Question by James: Would the Swiss system of national defense help in balancing the budget and guaranteeing civic participation? Would US citizens feel a stronger sense of unity? Would it lower racism since we are forced to see all ethnicities as brothers-in-arms? What about civic participation at every level? Would the idea of being the "thin red line" create better citizens? Or would people cry out against the "draft"? Best answer:

Answer by Jim
Americans are not ready for that yet...

How does the financial arrangement work in a Dunkin Donuts remodeling of an older store?

Question by James T: How does the financial arrangement work in a Dunkin Donuts remodeling of an older store? Does Dunkin Donuts charge a percentage of sales toward a remodeling fund or does the franchisee have to take out a loan and are there any incentives given by Dunkin Donuts to remodel an older location or is this mandated by contract. Best answer:

Answer by Zarg222
if it is a franchise then the franchisee is most likely responsible for all costs - whether he can actually get a loan for remodeling is an entirely different matter if you are thinking about buying a Franchise like that - most franchiser companies require the investor to have a lot of cash already - if you are borrowing up front, then your chances of success are severely limited - IF they even allow you to buy a Franchise

What's the difference between an all women's health club/gym and a health club where both men and women?

Question by Dee: What's the difference between an all women's health club/gym and a health club where both men and women? My husband tells me that I should join a women's health club because the exercise equipment there is more suited for women's bodies. I don't believe him. I think the only difference is that men are not allowed to join at the women's club (like Curve's) while you'll find both women and men at the regular health clubs like Gold's gym, Bally's, Fitness Connection. Please someone confirm for me if there is any other difference. I also feel that if I join a women's only club, there will be less variety of equipment and less classes for me to participate in than if I join a regular health club/gym. This is in the United States (Texas to be more precise). Best answer:

Answer by caz_v8
I am from Australia..I went to Fernwood Gym for Women..the equipment and the classes are all the same as when I was at the mixed gender gyms back in University...only differenc is no men to accompany you there.

Can extended family write and submit obituary if immediate family chose not to?

Question by Jessica!: Can extended family write and submit obituary if immediate family chose not to? My immediate family chose not to submit an obituary for my brother who recently passed away. The reason to not submit was due to some personal beliefs. My cousin's family apparently doesn't agree with my immediate family's choice and is planning on writing the obituary and submitting it themselves. Are they allowed to do that when they aren't immediate family to my brother? Best answer:

Answer by Cherry KoolAid
Yes. And frankly, the "immediate family" (under these sort of circumstances) doesn't include YOU. It only includes the parents and/or your brother's wife and/or children. Now does it seem odd, or is it a bit unethical, for the extended family to choose to submit an obituary? Sure. Then again, it's not illegal and in many cases it would be deemed appropriate to make sure something is filed in place of an autopsy for legal purposes.

What will i get out of studying abroad in china?

Answer by Níchσlє ♥
Since it's a lot different from English, it will take a bit. And it will be frustrating! Realistically, you should have a really good grasp of the language in 6 months, but the pronunciation will never be perfect and it may take longer. If you already can speak some Mandarin, that is better and you will learn the remaining parts of the language much faster! Good luck :)

Why did my Directv dvr suddenly start recording only one show at a time?

Question by kuhndog: Why did my Directv dvr suddenly start recording only one show at a time? I have Directv and the dvr has always recorded two show at one time as long as you were watching one. For some reason now it will only record one at a time and doesn't record anything else. What is even more annoying is that it won't let you change channels while it is recording only one show. I don't know how to change the setting. Best answer:

Answer by Stephen M
Go to the little access door on the DVR and open it and force a system reset by pressing the small red button there. It will take a few minutes to restart, but the receiver will reread its configuration and should be ok afterwards. For some reason, the DVR looses track that it has two inputs and forcing this restart will correct the situation.

[Q&A]:Buying a house how do I figure what my taxes will be?

Question by Tim B: Buying a house how do I figure what my taxes will be? I am buying a house. The value of the house is 160k. I am buying it for 90k. It has 3 acres. What will the taxes be on it? Well the seller owns 2 houses on a total of 20+ acres. I am buying 3 acres and 1 of the house. The house is 4 years old. They pay taxes on all of the land. So they do not know what the taxes on 1 will be. Best answer:

Answer by Dan
You need to find out what the taxing entities are and find out what is the tax rate for the current year. A taxing entity might be: The city, county, local hospital, community college etc. Call the city to find out what the taxing entitys are. Then call the tax office and find out the tax rate. Keep in mind that the tax rate could change from year to year.

[Q&A]:What makes go go dancing different from other types of dance?

Question by flytoohighz: What makes go go dancing different from other types of dance? When you see a go go dancer on a pedastal dancing, you can immediately distinguish that type of dancing from other types. So, what is it about go go dancing that gives it that "go go" feel? Is it the quick, angular movements? Although, I'm new to dance and don't have the vocabulary to accurately discuss dance, I'd really like to know what makes go go dancing so unique. Thanks. Best answer:

Answer by snowflake
Go-Go dancers were originally 1960s-era miniskirted clubgoers, dancing at clubs such as the Whisky a Go Go (one of the first to have dancers in elevated cages), wearing go-go boots. The etymology of Go-Go may be the noun go, one of whose meanings is "power of going, energy, vigor". Or it may come from the names of the nightclubs, which ultimately come from the French à gogo, meaning "in abundance, galore".

How to use surfing in a final paper for my psychology class?

Question by Chris K: How to use surfing in a final paper for my psychology class? I need to write a paper for my psych class, and I'd like to relate it to surfing somehow. I can be about virtually anything. Culture of surfing? But there's so much diversity. I don't know. I just wanted to see if anyone else passionate about surfing could come up with something. Best answer:

Answer by Dana K
Psychology of Surfing??? That is going to be so easy for you. All sport is "controlled risk taking". Controlled risk taking is good for children because it prevents them from engaging in "uncontrolled risk taking" like criminal behavior, drug abuse, or irresponsible sex. "Controlled risk taking" means that although you can get hurt, you usually can anticipate the amount of hurt you will suffer. "Uncontrolled" risk taking is a fools' behavior b/c it can ruin your life. Surfing is a man against nature deal - not man against man like f'ball, b'ball, or whatever, not man against himself (like golf). Don't get me wrong, surfing can be a very dangerous sport - but the risks are generally known. Surfing is accepting a challenge that is created by the nature (the weather) - it's a "because it was there" kind of thing (like climbing mount Everest). The rewards from Surfing are completely different that man-vs.-man sports. All a surfer can ever really say is "I am very good at what I do" or "I surf with other really good surfers". No surfing competitor (except a dork) would say something liek "I can beat you" (like basketball players do). Did you see "Into the Wild"? The psychology of surfing is that kind of thig: people do it mainly so that they themselves know what their limits are NOT so they can tell somebody else "I am beter than you". It is much the same psychology as sailing. So there you have a psych topic: why do man against nature sports (like surfing or any "extreme" sport) appeal to some people but other people want to play competitive sports. What is it about people psychologically that they desire to excell at competition with nature and do not desire to compete toe to toe with their friends? You can't "cheat" at surfing can you? You can't ignore the boundaries or take shortcuts - it's just not possible. So what is it about people who chose a sport where it is impossible to cheat? There is a certain admirable honesty to it no?

What is the difference between social science and social work?

Question by LostN919: What is the difference between social science and social work? What is the difference between social science and social work? how long does it take to get a bachelors in social science and in social work? i think its the same, can i do the same with both degrees? Best answer:

Answer by tehabwa
Doing social science is studying people, doing research,adding to our understanding of social phenomena. Social work involves helping people directly. Things like seeing that foster homes are stuitable, helping the poor get job training, or getting people various other kinds of help. (I'm not entirely clear on this, myself.) Uh, getting a Bachelor's degree takes about 4 years, whichever field one chooses. No, the two degrees aren't the same (though you'd probably take a few of the same classes, whichever you went for).

Why is astronomy not emphasized to the masses?

Question by Al Fizi: Why is astronomy not emphasized to the masses? My professor told me that astronomy is the mother of all sciences. All throughout civilizations past and present, stars and constellations were critical in navigation and even designing monuments. I just think by now the average person should be able to look up and spot something identifiable in the night sky. Seems like we're taught the offspring of science. I could be wrong, but I bet more people know 10 Commandments than 3 constellations. I'm just saying, as old as astronomy is, by now this subject should be as important as English! Best answer:

Answer by duke_of_urls
It is certainly true that astronomy has been very important. Another aspect of its importance is to be able to know when to plant seeds. However, these days, there are some things that should be known by all, but astronomy does not need to be known to all. It is a good part of education to provide a proper perspective of reality, but details of astronomy are just not needed by everyone.

What are tips that can help my husband and I conceive a child?

Question by sar: What are tips that can help my husband and I conceive a child? My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 9 months now. I don't suspect there should be any problems conceiving, however neither of us have been to the doctor to get checked. We plan on trying for a year and if we still have no luck we will get our fertility checked. I was wondering in the mean time for those of you who have been to the doctor, what have they said to do to increase your chance of conceiving? Are there any tips out there that worked great for you? I'd also like to hear success stories...Thanks so much! Best answer:

Answer by lisa_nicole
There is a book called "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Welcher. She says that if you follow the plan in the book and you are a normal healthy couple then you should conceive in-at most-4-6 cycles. She actually says it should take less than that assuming everything is alright. This book is great! I highly recommend it.

What aquatic reptile can i add to my fresh water aquarium community?

Question by Vladkid: What aquatic reptile can i add to my fresh water aquarium community? im planning to add at least 1 aquatic reptile to my fish tank. my aquarium is 10 gallons already and i have 9 black sail fin mollies and 2 rainbow sharks and 1 peco. im trying to enhance my aquarium's biodiversity. is it ok if i still add one more aquatic reptile without harming the other fish? what pet is ideal? insights pls :) :) thanks Best answer:

Answer by Karl Johnson
I wouldn't do that if I were you. If you put in a caiman, croc, or turtle that can eat alot of fish or go after any fish they see like a Red Eared Slider then your fish are screwed. If you want an aquatic turtle then you would really want to put in in a different tank beside being with the fish. NOW, you can add feeder fish (Rosy Red Minnows) to them so they can have at least some fish to eat. Other than that don't put an aquatic reptile like a freshwater turtle. I'm just given you a heads up on that.

How does the UK border agency catch illegal immigrants?

Also, what is meant when the UK border agency finds an illegal immigrant by intelligence? I am just curious. I don't plan to ever be an illegal immigrant, since it is wrong and it ruins the British Culture. Best answer:

The UKBA - or United Kingdom Border Agency catches Illegal Immigrants in the thousands every year. They usually work under anonymous tip-offs informing them of factories, labor workers etc; however they are legally obligated to to random searches on property which they suspect may be housing more than is legally granted. But 90% of the time, the UKBA operate in places of travel, e.g. Airports, Ports etc, catching Illegal immigrants though false passport and VISA checks.

You didn't record them at home. You just went to a store and purchased what you wanted. If you needed to record, then you would have to find a recording studio, and pay $ $ $ .

What is an Optical Isomer? How can you tell if a structure is an optical isomer?

Question by TrueNETSfan2010: What is an Optical Isomer? How can you tell if a structure is an optical isomer? I want to know what an optical isomer is. I can't seem to find much information detailing exactly what it is. Also, how can you tell if something is an optical isomer? If you are so inclined to... Can you identify whether or not the following can produce an optical isomer? Peroxyacetic Acid - CH3CO2OH Ethanol - CH3CH2OH Fructose - C6H12O6 Thanks for you help in advance, it is much appreciated. Best answer:

Answer by Raman P
If a compound contains a C atom that is attached to 4 different atoms or groups, then it will be 'optically active' & have optical isomers. The simplest example is lactic acid- CH3- CH(OH)CO2H- the 4 groups /atoms make it have a laevo rotatory, & dextro rotatory isomers, which are mirror images - identical, but not super imposable, & hence asymmetric .More about this can be had from a good organic chemistry text. Coming to the compds: peroxyacetic acid & ethanol are not optically active . Fructose is a keto hexose : a sugar containing six C atoms , & a ketone group. It has five asymmetric C atoms, & hence can have 2*5 optical isomers[ plus several other aldohexose isomers like glucose. Nature is symmetrically asymmetric, in a sense . that is why we have the different DNA/RNA combinations ,......

What are good universities to go to to get an outdoor recreation type job?

Question by JimmyJohns: What are good universities to go to to get an outdoor recreation type job?

Answer by Dr. Innovation
Park rangers do not require college degrees, just experience. (Usually starts as volunteering). College can help but is not needed. The link below discusses it more If you want to consider broader "outdoor", University of Colorado Colorado Springs has a unique degree, A BS in Business with emphasis in Sports Management. Students intern in multiple outdoor sport management fields. We have student from UCCS working at Vail (on the business side, not on the lifts!) Colorado mountain college is good if you want to try to be a lift-operator (a job in outdoor recreation), while in school. But is that really preparing you for a career in outdoor recreation business?

What holiday recipe bring back the best memories?

Question by clerksgirl513: What holiday recipe bring back the best memories? What recipes in your family are done every year for the holidays (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa) that bring back the best memories - and what is the memory that is attached to the recipe. Post your recipe too! Oh and my favorite was my Oma's Christmas Goose she made with this apple stuffing. Ever since she passed away we haven't had it, but next year when I get married, we'll be doing it again :-) Best answer:

Answer by Wedge
My great-grandmother's real German stollen - I remember her, than my grandmother and now my mom making it and giving it as Christmas presents every year to friends and family. The recipe was brought from Germany by my great-great-grandmother in the 1800s. Dresdner Stollen To make two 13-inch loaves ½-cup seedless raisins ½-cup dried currants 1-cup mixed candied citrus peel ¼- cup candied angelica, cut into ¼-inch dice ½-cup candied cherries, cut in half ½-cup rum ¼-cup lukewarm water (110º to 115º) 2-packages or cakes of dry or compressed yeast ¾-cup plus a pinch of sugar 5 ½-cups plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour 1-cup milk ½ -teaspoon salt ½ -teaspoon almond extract ½-teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon peel 2 eggs at room temperature ¾ -cup unsalted butter cut into ¼-inch bits and softened 8-tablespoons melted unsalted butter 1-cup blanched slivered almonds ¼ cup confectioner's sugar, sifted Combine the raisins, currants, candied citrus peel, angelica and cherries in a bowl. Pour rum over them, tossing the fruit about to coat the pieces evenly. Soak at least 1 hour. . Pour the lukewarm water into a small bowl and sprinkle it with the years and a pinch of sugar. Let the mixture stand for 2 or 3 minutes, then stir to dissolve the yeast completely. Set the bowl in a warm, draft free place (such as a turned off oven) for about 5 minutes or until the mixture almost doubles in volume. Meanwhile drain the fruit, reserving the rum, and carefully pat the pieces completely dry with paper towels. Place the fruit in a bowl, sprinkle it with 2 tablespoons of flour, and turn it about with a spoon until the flour is completely absorbed. Set aside. In a heavy 1 ½ - to 2- quart saucepan, combine the milk, ½-cup of the sugar and the salt. Heat to lukewarm (110º to 115º), stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Off the heat, stir in the reserved rum, the almond extract and the fresh lemon peel, and finally the yeast mixture. Place the 5 cups of flour in a large bowl and with a fork stir in the yeast mixture, a cup at a time. Beat the eggs until frothy and stir them into the dough then beat in the bits of softened butter. Gather the dough into a ball and place it on a board sprinkled with the remaining ½-cup of flour. Knead the dough, by pushing it down with the heels of your hands, pressing it forward and folding it back on itself. Continue the kneading for about 15 minutes, or until all the flour is incorporated and the dough is smooth and elastic. Flour your hands lightly from time to time. Now press the fruit and almonds into the dough, 1/3 cup or so at a time, but do not knead or handle it too much or the dough will discolor. Coat a deep bowl with 1 teaspoon of melted butter and drop in the dough. Brush the top of the dough with another 2 teaspoons of melted butter, drape a towel over the bowl and set it in a warm place for 2 hours, or until the dough doubles in bulk. Punch the dough down and divide it into two equal pieces. Let them rest for 10 minutes, then roll the pieces out into strips about 12 inches long, 8 inches wide and ½-inch thick. Brush each strip with 2 tablespoons of the remaining butter and sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons of the remaining sugar. Fold each strip lengthwise in the following fashion: bring one long end over the center of the strip and press the edge down lightly. Then fold the other long side across it, overlapping the seam down the center by about 1 inch. Press the edge gently to keep it in place. With lightly floured hands, taper the ends of the loaf slightly and pat the sides gently together to mound it in the center. The finished loaf should be about 3 ½ to 4 inches wide and 13 inches long. With a pastry brush, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter, coat the bottom of an 11 by 17 inch jellyroll pan. Place the loaves on the pan and brush them with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Set the loaves aside in a warm draft free place for about 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. Preheat the oven to 375º. Then bake the bread in the middle of the oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown and crusty. Transfer the loaves to wire racks to cool completely. Just before serving, sprinkle the loaves with the sifted confectioner's sugar. I frost mine with thin butter cream frosting.

What do you think about the polling of this election? It seems that the polls were quite accurate?

Question by Patrick M: What do you think about the polling of this election? It seems that the polls were quite accurate? I have always wondered if polling in itself becomes a self fulfilling prophecy for any election. In other words if polling calls an election 52% to 46% like what actually happened in this election, does that mean that voters/turnout will shape themselves into that mold? Or do you believe polls are just very, very accurate? What do you think? Best answer:

Answer by Boss H
Seems like they were too scared to make predictions. Canada news was predicting faster than American media was. It seems Obama did better than any polls predicted.

How will studying abroad help my future goals of becoming a teacher?

Question by lovelivelaugh143: How will studying abroad help my future goals of becoming a teacher? I am very interested in studying abroad this upcoming summer, but how will going to different countries and studying abroad help my Education Major and my future goals on becoming an teacher some day? Any input is appreciated. Best answer:

Answer by andreea
It depends on what you are studying, but, studying abroad can give you an insight into the difference between cultures. You will become even more well rounded and being exposed to different kinds of people and culture will be of great help to you when you become a teacher and will have to adjust to all of the different students in the classroom! You can offer worldly advice and speak from personal experiences to your students.

What home theater system should I get or where can I find it?

Question by Alex D: What home theater system should I get or where can I find it? I want a home theater system with: HDMI cable hook up It doesn't need to be able to play DVDs at all, just hook up to one Good surround sound quality A remote Nowhere over $ 200 Is there any speaker system or home theater system for me? If so, what is it or where could I go to find it myself? Thanks. Best answer:

Answer by Goat
It will be impossible to find a "quality" home theater setup for less than 200 dollars. That being said, you can get a sub-par setup for less than 200, and i would say that a bad system is better than no system. :) I got mine for $ 760 dollars on amazon. It's a 7.1 channel, and it supports the new high definition audio formats.

Question by Flatbushbrooklyn: Do my dining room furnitrure have to match the colors of my living room furniture? My dining room is part of my living room (its a combo). Do u think my dining room furniture has to match the colors of my living room furniture, or can it be a different color scheme? Best answer:

different color scheme would probably be better, b/c it would seperate room from room. if it was the same then it would belnd too much

How to get internet when internet is cut off initially, disabling Hotspot shield?

Question by anysportzchik: How to get internet when internet is cut off initially, disabling Hotspot shield? The internet is being turned completely off, therefore disabling Hotspot shield, and then turning it back on. Is there anyway to keep internet? Best answer:

Answer by Gene
One has nothing to do with the other. You need to figure out what's wrong with your internet. However, Hotspot Shield is spyware and they record everything you do so that they can use that information in their advertising business. You might not care now but it could bite you years down the road when dumb stuff you said today is still out there for anyone to purchase.

[Q&A]:What is the etiquette when renting a house from family?

Question by L.L.: What is the etiquette when renting a house from family? If you are renting a home from a family member (multiple homes on the same property) what is the etiquette for having a boyfriend/girlfriend spend the night in your separate home? Take into consideration that the person renting is over the age of 30. No wild parties are happening, no disturbances etc......Simply the fact that the other family member was not informed that there was an overnight guest in the separate home! Is this grounds for them to kick the family member out? Best answer:

Answer by Lacey G
When you are renting from family you do have to take into consideration what type of conditions the family member is putting on you. If you are renting from grandma and she is a very uptight no sex before marriage type of gal, but she's letting you rent the pool house for 50 bucks a month, you may have to suck it up and have your trysts elsewhere. It is best when renting from family to anticipate these kind of issue and write the expectations into the lease from the beginning. If the two homes are not connected in anyway, then any activity that goes on in the rental home should be okay, provided that it is legal and doesn't disturb the people in the other house. In any rental situation, there is a difference between a guest and an unregistered tenant. The standard is that anyone staying more than 10 nights in a month is a tenant and must be on the lease. the law recognizes that anyone who has slept somewhere for 14 consecutive nights and has received mail is a tenant and must be legally evicted if they refuse to leave. Be sure you try to find out why your relative is taking issue with your overnight guest. If they are just trying to decide who you date, then that's something you should address with the lease, or move. But it may be more of an issue of them covering themselves legally. And if the two homes are adjoined, keep in mind that anyone you invite into your home potentially has access to theirs, and vice versa

[Q&A]:Is there ANY differences between renting a condo and renting an apartment?

Question by berrytrain: Is there ANY differences between renting a condo and renting an apartment? I rented a condo today. The condo is owned by a large corporation. It is in a condo community. Most of the condos are privately owned. But a few are corporate owned, and rented out. Is there any difference between renting a condo and renting an apartment? Is a condo building built better than an apartment building? Why is it called a condo, and not an apartment? I really don't get it. Thanks. Best answer:

Answer by Arkon
As far as I knew, Apartment buildings are usually owned by one party, and everyone living there is a renter. Condo's can be owned individually and the owners live in them and some Condo's don't allow renting
