what would be a good choice of eyeglass frame for a tall guy, mid 50s, relatively oval-shape face, short silver-grey hair? seems like everybody's got black, rectangular frames these days, and I'd like to try something a little different that is sort of studious-looking, but not 'trying too hard'.

Can someone explain what it means when a US Treasury TIPS sells for more than face value? I understand that any interest accrued from the last payment date would be included in the price, but that aside, if it sells at a 7% premium over face value, exactly what does that mean?

I'm confused - in the movie Inception, if the point of having a personal totem was that nobody else was supposed to know what was unique about it, then why did Leo DiCaprio's character tell the girl about the top... that in a dream, it would just keep spinning and not fall over?

does anyone know the name of a cartoon wolf (he might have been a lumberjack) that I think had a French-sounding name?

If you redeem all shares in a mutual fund to rollover into another IRA, and there's a redemption charge, which amount is considered the amount of the distribution - the value of the account before the shares were redeemed, or the actual amount you received (net of the redemption charge)?

Does anyone know the title of the song that was playing at the beginning of the first ep. of SyFy's Being Human? Thanks!

If SF, SD, and ATL all finish the regular season at 91-71, I understand that there'd be a playoff game between SF and SD to decide the NL West. What I don't understand is why there'd also be another playoff game between the loser of SF-SD and ATL to decide the NL Wild Card. I thought that the playoff games counted in the standings. So the loser of SF-SD would then have a record of 91-72. Why wouldn't ATL be the wild card with a 91-71 record, which is better?

Hi - what would cause a 'howling' noise on a 2003 ZX2 (38K miles)? It's noticeable when accelerating at low speeds (up to 30mph), and sounds like it might be coming from the back of the car. Thanks!

Does anybody know for sure the significance of the five diamonds on the Raiders 50th season patch? I'm pretty sure that the three larger diamonds represent their three Super Bowl wins, and guessing that the other two represent their AFL championship (1967) and AFC championship (2002), but wondered if anybody knows for sure...

If you were seeing a male client for the first time, how long (ideally) would you like his hair to be for you to best be able to provide advice about what type of haircut would or wouldn't work for him?

I'm firmly of the opinion that Ray Guy should be in the NFL Hall of Fame. Special teams players deserve just as much consideration as position players... to those who disagree, I'd point out that there's not that much difference with a relief pitcher in baseball being in the Hall of Fame, and there was (is) serious consideration being given Edgar Martinez as a DH (which I wouldn't disagree with, either). Just wonder what other ppl think... opinions?

I'm not able to open any of my Hotmail messages - when I mouse over them, the pointer changes to a hand, but clicking on any of them doesn't do anything. The word "javascript:" appears in the status bar, but nothing happens. I'm also not able to move between folders. I'm using Windows ME and IE 6 if that helps. Can anyobne help?

I'd have thought by now that the Big Ten would have added a twelfth team and gone to a divisional setup like many of the other major conferences. Notre Dame's been mentioned as a possibility for years, but they don't seem to be interested. So... if you could pick one, which would it be?

I always thought that Joan of Arcadia had the potential to be a really good show... but it got cancelled (grr). What drama shows did you like that were cancelled before their time?

Is anybody else hoping for a Super Series or All-Star Series between the NHL and the new Kontinental League?

Now that Anaheim's AHL affiliate will be in Iowa, does anyone know what the team name will be?

Can someone explain to me exactly what 'point cutting' does for a haircut... and how long your hair needs to be for it to be done? I'm a guy...

In the 'future' that didn't happen (in season 1), Peter had a scar across his face. Since he had Claire's ability to regenerate (or else he couldn't have survived exploding), how'd the scar get there?

Peter Petraglia... does he already 'have' all of the other people's abilities (and just not know it) OR does he 'absorb' each new ability by coming into contact with someone who has it... sort of a 'good' Syler?
