  • Is there going to be any additions to the Soundwave 2010 lineup?

    Just because it seems a little small (something like 40 bands are only on there)

    Is there any chance that there are still more bands to come?

  • What type of dirt bike should I purchase (information given)?

    Ok so I want to begin dirt biking as a hobby and hopefully it will turn into something more.

    I come from a family of sprintcar racers and go karters and we are now discovering dirt biking (well at least I am, but they will continue with the sprintcars and go karts) :)

    I'm not sure exactly what information to provide, but:

    - I'm 15 years old

    - Weight 57 kg (126 lbs)

    - Height 165 cm

    - I'm a girl (if you havent noticed my avatar :P)

    Please include cost if possible

    Also, what is the necessary and optional gear needed for this sport?

    eg: helmet, gloves, certain shoes, suits needed

    and generally what stores supply this gear?

    If you can't answer all these questions it's ok, but my biggest concern is finding a good bike to begin with!

  • Agree or disagree: saying sorry is worth nothing if the person apologising doesn't mean it?

    I personally agree. There's no point in accepting or giving an apology if there isn't any sincerity involved.

  • Does my tattoo idea sound good?

    Ohk, well right now I'm 15 but I'm thinking about what I'll get tattooed when I'm 18..

    I've never had a close person pass away or anything, so choosing a tattoo hasn't been very obvious, but recently I've become fixated on the idea of having a picture of a small "island" (about 4 cm wide and long) tattooed at the back of my right hip.

    My explanation for this tattoo:

    -I am known for being distracted by my daydreaming and I tend to wander off to my little "island"

    -My favourite song is titled "island"

    -I am very different to my family members (black sheep if you will) and I feel kind of disconnected, but I want to reflect this in a positive way

    please no rudeness. if you don't think its nice or if you think its dumb please just saythat you dont think it sounds apprpriate. thankyou :)

  • Playstation one game won't work in ps1 or ps2 console?

    I recently bought a playstation one game from eBay - the seller I got it off said the game was in good shape and although it had scratches on surface of the disk, it did not affect gameplay. This seller has lots of praise on his profile for selling efficient products, truthful claims, etc.

    However, when I inserted the game into both my ps1 and ps2, it did not work. All the game does is go to the starting screen (an image of the "playstation" sony logo) and then fades to black, and remains black. I have tried cleaning it repeatedly, cleaning my playstations etc.

    What could be the problem and how can I fix it?

  • Should people with a faster metabolism eat more than usual?

    Even though everyone should try to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle, etc,

    should a person with a fast metabolism eat more (not necessarily in calorie or fat content, but generally just "more") than a person with a slower metabolism?

    (not in the sense that makes them weigh the same, but in the sense that to be healthy they should be eating more)

  • Why did Australia request migration after World War II?

    From what I've been led to believe, they did so to increase their numbers for fear of another war (so that they had security in numbers), but were there any other specific reasons they wanted a higher population?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Shakespeare Othello question re: Iago and Roderigo in scene 3 of act 1?

    Just wondering about the conversation between Iago and Roderigo in A1, Siii:

    does Iago's repeating "put money in thy purse" mean for Roderigo to obtain money to impress Desdemona, or for Roderigo to make more money so that he may pay Iago more to be his match maker, or does it possibly have another meaning?

    Thanks

  • tenderness under right armpit?

    Yeh so I woke up this morning and have found that under my right armpit (further than the very beginning of the breast) a tender spot which is quite painful to touch

    (I know it's gross) but last week I had 4 facial boils (small but still visible) as a result of using an acne cleanser (nutrimetics)

    I don't know if the tenderness under my armpit is maybe another boil? (especially becuase I didn't use the cleanser on that area) and it feels kinda lumpy, but it's hard for me to examine any further because the pain of touching it

    it hurts to raise my arm aswell

    what could it be?

    thanks

  • Vent here! (because i am too)?

    Ok I'm pissed, and I need to vent, so you can vent too

    basically, my sister walks in and demands i give up the tv (at 9:00pm)

    but i say (and its true) "you started watching tv at 7:30 when your show came on. you kicked me out of the lounge room earlier today to watch what you wanted and i didn't complain"

    she says "my show goes for 2 hours" (obviously overlapping the 9:00 present time) and she says "i was kicked out twice today"

    ok, so YES i did take over but i didn't know her show went for 2 hours (omg, long enough??) and it is VERY likely that she was including that present fight in her twice being kicked out count

    at that point i was very stressed because i had been (and still am) working on many assignment for school, and i had only watched tv once that day which was when SHE kicked me out

    i know im probably ranting for no point and someones gonna point out my stupidity, but right now im uber pissed and need someone to agree with me!

  • Is this how internal rhyme in the first stanza of "The Raven" is used?

    Is the internal rhyme exposed in this way? (If I'm wrong, please reply with the same method but obviously with the letters in the correct place)

    Once upon a midnight dreary (A), while I pondered weak and weary (A),

    Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore (B),

    While I nodded, nearly napping (C), suddenly there came a tapping (C),

    As of someone gently rapping(C), rapping at my chamber door (B).

    ''Tis some visitor,' I muttered, 'tapping at my chamber door (B)-

    Only this, and nothing more (B)'

    thanks in advance

  • Why do I cry so easily? How can I stop it?

    Ok seriously I don't know what to do

    If I listen to a song about something sad, I feel pity and I just start crying

    Watch a sad movie/show, I cry

    Even if someone just says shut up to me I feel totally hated bythem and I just cry, or atleast I have to go somewhere and calm down (everyone in my grade has seen me cry)

    There will be times where I will randomly cry

    I am not depressed or emo in the slightest, usually when I cry I was happy-go-lucky 2 mintues before

    How can I just stop crying?
