  • In need of a Hebrew translator...?

    Without getting into too much detail, I want to know what the following could mean, once translated in Hebrew:

    F-Y-Z-R

    To the best of my knowledge, the equivalent letters are Feh-Yod-Zayin-Resh. Does the combination of these letters mean anything, backwards/forwards? Or is it that I am simply extrapolating and that F-Y-Z-R cannot be translated into hebrew/is nonsense? Thank you for your time.

  • What can I do to feel better from a 99.5 Fahrenheit fever?

    I know it's a low/slight fever but it's been driving me crazy since 11 pm (it's currently 4:15 am). I've been feeling slightly warm and uncomfortable along with a mild cough (little phlegm from coughing, though), irritation and dryness in my throat and nasal passages (as well as a little itching/irritation in my ear canals) and a moderate case of a runny nose. I've eaten some chicken soup and about 4 cups of lemon tea as well as showered twice to loosen up phlegm and mucus (though not to lower fever). Also, I've gargled saltwater in order to fight bacteria in my throat. Any suggestions?

  • What does the signing of Jay Electronica to ROC-Nation mean to the state of hip hop, music and the world?

    I'm a passionate Jay Electronica fan. Started hearing his music in late 2008 and it was then that I knew I was hearing one of the most promising, talented and soulful hip-hop artists to come around in a LONG time. I'd placed my bets on Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco and Kid Cudi on being that next IT artist before they became well-known, but when I came across Jay Electronica, I felt that he was the one that would definitely help change the mindset of the masses on what we perceive hip hop to be. Don't get me wrong, I love Kanye, Lupe, Cudi, Talib Kweli, Common, J. Cole, Curren$y, Black Thought, MF Doom, Mos Def and the rest but Jay Electronica, to me, is probably has much more meaning behind his words than any rapper I've heard since perhaps Nas (although, Eminem pre-hiatus was screaming his soul out very quietly and was letting us know something deeper...) Your thoughts on Jay Electronica signing onto Jay Z's imprint, Roc Nation.

  • Name the 5 best soulful, "true" hip hop producers ever.?

    Came onto the following beat ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG_DMtwTGmM ) and could help but feel introspective and reminiscent. Only producers who do that to me are J Dilla, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, RZA and 9th Wonder. I suppose this genre of hip hop is called "backpack" hip hop or even "underground" so who are your top 5?

  • Would you say that Jay Electronica is the most promising true hiphop artist since Nas first came on the scene?

    I understand many would argue the likes of Eminem, Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye West and the more mainstream hip hop artists are more successful in their careers than Jay Electronica, and many would argue MF Doom, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, J. Cole, and other underground hip hop artists have more substance, a better flow, are more composed, etc. However, the only artist that I would say that has both substance and success is Lupe Fiasco and I would argue that if Jay Electronica had been given more exposure by the hip hop scene (whom are ruled by the likes of Jay Z, Lil Wayne, Drake, Gucci Mane), he'd be enjoying a similar experience as that of Lupe Fiasco. Not many artists have come on and expressed their comtempt for the powers-that-be like Jay Electronica in such an artistic manner and I admire his ability to encrypt many messages in his songs. His enigmatic, urban-legend aura makes him so mysterious, full of potential and having met him at Bonnaroo, he was so approachable, so relatable and knowledgable that I feel that in the past decade or so, only Nas had a more promising, true hip hop vibe. I feel that Lupe Fiasco and Jay Electronica are the breath of fresh air that we desperately needed and Lupe's exposure with Kanye West helped bring him onto the scene with a huge vibe while Jay Electronica's had to do it almost singlehandedly, using MySpace and Twitter as his media outlets instead of television and radio (highly controlled by the powers-that-be). I want to know your thoughts, your criticisms of my argument, etc.

  • Why is my phone acting up?

    It's a Samsung R-450 and the cellular company is Cricket Mobile. I live in Chicago, IL. It worked fine when I first got it and had been for a long time. I then decided to take a trip to Washington (state) and was away for a month. I didn't use it during my time there. In fact, I deactivated it until I returned, then REACTIVATED it. However, upon returning from my trip, my phone began acting up. It takes longer than usual for text messages to be received by my phone, despite the fact that it could be sent within the same vicinity. Sometimes, I just don't get the text/call at all. Does anyone know what is going on?

  • Does anyone know this cartoon character that used to come on Cartoon Network?

    It was a Canadian-produced cartoon. Not sure if it was "George of the Jungle" or "Rocky and Bullwinkle"... but one of the side-cartoons (by which I mean, not the main cartoon) was about this old explorer who always had a big, explorer hat on and always had a huge, white mustache and a pipe. He'd talk about some ridiculous adventures he'd used to go through, like escaping from a cage of lions or an angry rhino. But he'd always come out of these adventures alive and his butler (or friend, i don't know...) who would be sitting next to him in a chair would always say "My, that sounds like quite the adventure." and the old explorer would ALWAYS reply by grabbing his pipe and saying "QUITE."

    Does anyone have ANY idea what I'm talking about? This show used to come out in the late 90's...

  • I want to know what's the meaning behind David Letterman's "Is that you, pa?". Anyone have a clue?

    I've seen the sketch, but not the whole thing. Letterman tends to bring back that quote a bit. What's the deal with it?

  • Know any great Salsa songs?

    I've got a vast collection of salsa songs from Johny Pacheco to El Gran Combo to Los Cuatro de Belen, etc. However, I'm looking for "newer" or at least not highly-popular, but great salsa dance songs. Not so much the slow, romantic salsa, as I am inundated with those sob songs. I'm looking for hard-hitting, lively salsa songs. Any and all answers are greatly appreciated.

  • Epileptic Attack: What do I do if my dog is having an epileptic attack?

    My dog is a weenie dog (Dachshund) and he just suffered an epileptic attack. This isn't his first time, but the last time he had one was a year ago. I just gave him a warm bath to relax his muscles because his attack lasted nearly an hour. Not sure what to do because the vet gave us little to no insight on what to do. Any suggestions as to how I can make sure it doesn't last that long again?
