    Pretty self-explanatory title.

  • What is a given name that means "lead by"?

    Yes, "lead by". Not "leader". For example, the name Michael Lugh would mean "Leader of the Light", with Michael being of Hebrew origin and meaning "leader", and Lugh being of Gaelic origin and meaning "light". However, how would one go about forming a name that means "Lead BY the light" opposed to "Leader OF the light"? By the way, it doesn't necessarily have to contain the surname "light"; that was just the easiest example of which I could think.

    *"Lead" with a short 'e' sound in case some of you were confused by the dual homophone/homonym.*

  • How do I check someone's criminal record in the state of California?

    I need to check the criminal record of a specific individual in the state of California. This is not for fun, this is not for selfish purposes - I honestly need to know of their criminal history, (if it exists), for safety reasons. Every site that offers criminal history of the individual requires a payment before I can actually view the record; I am, however, only 16 and can't make said payment. I know that there has to be SOME WAY to access criminal records, though, because that information could be possibly life saving in certain situtations and I find it hard to believe that such potentially important information would be witheld from the community and/or individuals who seek it.

  • Where does the term "hand-and-a-half sword" come from?

    I'm aware of what it means - a hand-and-a-half sword is synonymous with a longsword - but where does the term derive from?

  • Question about Pokemon and EVs?

    So I received a level one Happiny from an egg. I can't remember its stats when it hatched, but I fed it nine rare candies immediately, leveling it up to level ten. I then gave it five of each type of vitamins to compensate for the nine levels I gave it with rare candies. That should mean fifty EV points were added to each stat, meaning a total of twelve stat points for every category. (Four EV points equals one state point.) The reason I'm confused is my Happiny's stats read as such: Attack - 7, Defense - 9, Sp. Atk. - 11, Sp. Def. - 22, Speed - 12. Why are some of the stats equal to or less than twelve if the vitamins should've theoretically added twelve stat points to every category?

  • I need something that can write problems for me when given an answer!?

    I need to write 37 algebraic equations, all of which equal something specific.

    e.g. One of my numbers is 444, so I need to write an algebraic problem whose answer is 444.

    I've already written 63 of this little jerks, so I do NOT want to do anymore. Does anyone know of a website or program that I can just punch in a number and it will give me an algebra problem to match it? And by the way, crap like 2x = 888 is not accepted. I need much more advanced problems. Matrices, sum/sequences, factorials, et cetera.

  • How do the rankings work in club soccer teams? (Gold, silver, bronze, etc.)?

    I hear a lot of people talking about how their teams are a Gold team, or a Silver Elite... How do these rankings work? What's the highest? What is the lowest? Thank you.

  • NoC: Great matches, great crowd, great night. Agree or Disagree? Why or why not?

    In all honesty, I thought it was a breath of fresh air to see a pro-Cena crowd! Cena works his balls off and does so much for the company and has given us some amazing matches! Of course, there are many TECHNICALLY better, but Cena is a darn good entertainer. The WHC match was one of the best matches I've seen out of Henry in a long time. You can really tell he's been working hard to get back into shape. Great, great, and great. The main event between HHH and CM Punk was freaking amazing; that was entertainment wrestling at it's peak. And just for icing on the cake, the under-card matches weren't too shabby themselves.

  • Rey Mysterio, Jr: Why has he...?

    First things first, watch this video:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZK6wxv1a98

    That's Rey Mysterio! The WWE's Rey Mysterio! Seeing him do things like that makes me wonder why he doesn't do it anymore, and I can only think of two logical explanations: His body won't let him anymore or, much like many wrestlers, Corporate WWE told him to stop using such moves as they are too dangerous and carry too much of an injury risk. All I want to know is what do you think. Was it Corporate WWE or is it just Rey's body?

  • Why do people NOW say the Attitude Adjustment is a stupid name when...?

    Why do people NOW say the Attitude Adjustment is a stupid name when ten, twenty years ago when Lex Luger was using it for his piledriver, it was such an awesome name? I'm not b****ing, I just wanna comprehend the sudden change in attitude? Is it because, hmm...John Cena is the one using it that the "name" gets so much hate?

  • Question about modern day comics?

    Are there any comics today that are truly history making? If you don't get what I mean, think of it this way: Are there really any comics being published today or even were published in the recent 10 years that are going to be looked back on and remembered thirty, forty, maybe even fifty years from now, like Action Comics 1 or Tales of Suspense 39 or Detective Comics 27?

  • Honest question: How come after every PPV, there's nothing but complaining on this site?

    I never see people saying stuff like, "Good PPV," or, "That was awesome." It's always, "That sucked," or, "Vince is stupid." And the really weird thing about it is that people change their opinions like a lightning bolt! A few weeks ago, we were all high on Alberto Del Rio...Now that he has won the Rumble, we all hate him. What the heck happened? Is anyone ever satisfied? I try and enjoy the PPVs like a normal person, but so many people are just so darn cynical, it puts a real damper on things!

  • Please tell me Michael Tarver isn't the GM!!!?

    Think about it! He's been seen randomly in backstage segments for a few weeks now, and it just showed him idly watching the JoMo/Henry vs. Rio/Sheamus match! On top of that, the GM's been saying that he wants to "protect his identity, and will reveal himself when it's safe." What if he's been hiding from Nexus! Now that the original Nexus is gone, Tarver starts showing up!? Too coincidental!

  • Do people realize how many wrestlers are employed with the WWE? You can't them all! +2 BQ?

    People always say certain people are getting buried and that they should leave the company because no one cares about them, but do they realize how many wrestlers there actually are? Let's just look at Smackdown!, (it's smaller and easier to compare.) The wrestlers who get exposure on a weekly basis are Edge, Kane, Kofi Kingston, Rey Mysterio, Alberto Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler, Big Show, and somewhat Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre. Now let's look at all the rest of the wrestlers: Chavo Guerrero, Chris Masters, Christian, Curt Hawkins, Ezekial Jackson, Finlay, Joey Mercury, JTG, Trent Berreta, and Tyler Reks. Now do people really think that EVERY one of these guys can get on T.V. EVERY week? Sometimes, guys just have to stand in the back of the line and wait for their time to come up. Agree or Disagree?

  • Someone please help me with Microsoft Excel...FAST!?

    Here's my scenario:

    My mom gave me all the statistics for when her subordinate doctors did and did not show up to work, how long they stayed, and how many patients she saw. In order to prove to her bosses that two of her doctors are lazy, she asked me to make her a productivity chart using that info. I already have the line graph set up, but I have a problem. I put every single day on the graph because on any given day, there was at least one doctor. The bad thing is that if a doctor didn't work that day and I just leave the space empty, the graph puts it down as a zero, making that doctor look bad. How can I make the line skip a date?

    EXAMPLE:

    If my X-axis goes, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5," I want the line to go straight from 1 to 3 without showing any info for the two.

    (If you recognize this question, it's caused I asked it an hour ago but got no answers.)
