Can someone please explain how the Yankees clinched a playoff birth tonight?
They still have a magic number of 6 to Boston, and how does Oakland beating Texas help them? If there are some baseball playoff wonks out there that know the answer, please clue me in.
4 AnswersBaseball1 decade agofor artists: What are the colors you simply cannot live without?
I asked this a while back and got two very unsatisfactory answers. Yes, I know you can mix any color with Red, Blue and Yellow. I'm not in the third grade!! But that is really not practical for a painter to constantly mix colors. Besides, it's very difficult to match subtle shades.
so if you paint and want to make a serious contribution, please do so.

So instead of having those dorky little buttons, kids are actually learning how to play guitar and even though they don't know it, each level is actually a new lesson.

2 AnswersOther - Visual Arts1 decade agoWhat features/options should I look for in buying a blu-ray player?
Are there different levels of quality/reliability? Most of them range from 200-300, but I've seen some as much as a thousand or even two thousand! What do the high end players have that make them worth the inflated prices?
4 AnswersHome Theater1 decade agoWhat are some strategies for Texas Hold-em' Poker?
I have been playing this game for a while now and it's a fascinating combination of luck, calculating the odds, and judging your opponent's strength by body language and former play and general psychology.
I was curious how other people see the game, and what methods they use to end up raking in the chips

1 AnswerBooks & Authors1 decade agoA question for physicists:?
I have been reading about Einstein's Theory of Relativity lately and there are two concepts I just don't seem to understand.
1. Is it true that the observer changes the event in some way? I understand that the observation of an event changes based on the position and velocity of the observer, but does that actually change the event itself? Or is it just that different points of view yield different observations?
2. Since the theory of relativity is mostly concerned with what happens when one is traveling close to the speed of light, I assume that this means that Relativity is only relevant for space travel. So what are the practical applications of Relativity here on Earth?

3 AnswersCorporations1 decade agoWhat do with cat that wants affection 24/7?
If I am still in one place for more than 2 minutes, the cat will come up and meow and meow and cry and nuzzle up against me till I pet her. Then she purrs and purrs. OK, That's what cats do.
But when she jumps on the bed at 3 am and meows in my ears and licks my face to wake me up just because she wants me to pet her, there is a problem. If I close the bedroom door, she howls at the door and scratches against it. How can I let her know I need my sleep time and I cannot be disturbed between midnight at 6:00 am?
