Resolved Question: Did anyone notice this (The Who halftime show)?

The Who's halftime show included the beginning of "Pinball Wizard," a large section of "Baba O'Riley," a large section of "Who Are You," one line from "See Me, Feel Me," and a large section of "Won't Get Fooled Again." "Who Are You," "Won't Get Fooled Again," and "Baba O'Riley" had the longest samples. They all also happen to be the theme songs for CSI, CSI: Miami, and CSI: NY, which air on CBS, as did the Super Bowl. Coincidence or conspiracy? Coincidence theory: These songs, along with "My Generation," are arguably The Who's most famous songs, so it's a given that they would be featured tonight. Conspiracy theory: CBS hooked it up as subliminal advertising; The Who is cool with it because the more popular the show, the more they get paid for the use of the songs.and by paid more, I mean, the longer the show runs, the more they make...not that they get paid for an increase in ratings. more

Resolved Question: Russia to start opening Fish and Chips food chain to save Fishing Industry?

Do you think that opening up fast food chains is a good idea to save industries? despite the obvious dangers in health. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article6999194.ece They succumbed eagerly to Ronald McDonald. Mikhail Gorbachev once advertised pizza. Now Russians look set for another fast-food fad — fish and chips. To save the country’s struggling fishing industry, the Government is encouraging people to eat more seafood and backing a planned chain of chip shops called Okean — the name of a famous chain of fishmongers during communist times. Alexander Ivanov, who owns a fish-processing factory in Murmansk, on Russia’s northern coast, said that he would open 300 street kiosks in St Petersburg and up to 500 in Moscow before expanding into Siberia. Cod and chips would sell for about £2.50, to compete with McDonald’s and other fast-food rivals. “Fish, as a fast food, doesn’t exist in Russia so we are opening a completely new market. I really like English fish and chips and I’m sure it will be really attractive for Russians,” he told The Times. “We set up a fish-and-chip kiosk at a trade exhibition in Moscow and the lines of customers were as long as those we used to see outside Lenin’s tomb during Soviet times. “It’s important that people can be patriotic and buy high-quality healthy Russian fish.” more

Resolved Question: Can you please tell me what this dream means?

I was riding on the Mayflower When I thought I spied some land I yelled for Captain Arab I have yuh understand Who came running to the deck Said, "Boys, forget the whale We're goin over yonder Cut the engines Change the sail Haul on the bowline" We sang that melody Like all tough sailors do When they are far away at sea "I think I'll call it America" I said as we hit land I took a deep breath I fell down, I could not stand Captain Arab he started Writing up some deeds He said, "Let's set up a fort And start buying the place with beads" Just then this cop comes down the street Crazy as a loon He throws us all in jail For carryin' harpoons Ah me I busted out Don't even ask me how I went to get some help I walked by a Guernsey cow Who directed me down To the Bowery slums Where people carried signs around Saying, "Ban the bums" I jumped right into line Sayin', "I hope that I'm not late" When I realized I hadn't eaten For five days straight I went into a restaurant Lookin' for the cook I told them I was the editor Of a famous etiquette book The waitress he was handsome He wore a powder blue cape I ordered some suzette, I said "Could you please make that crepe" Just then the whole kitchen exploded From boilin' fat Food was flying everywhere And I left without my hat Now, I didn't mean to be nosy But I went into a bank To get some bail for Arab And all the boys back in the tank They asked me for some collateral And I pulled down my pants They threw me in the alley When up comes this girl from France Who invited me to her house I went, but she had a friend Who knocked me out And robbed my boots And I was on the street again Well, I rapped upon a house With the U.S. flag upon display I said, "Could you help me out I got some friends down the way" The man says, "Get out of here I'll tear you limb from limb" I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too" He said, "You're not Him Get out of here before I break your bones I ain't your pop" I decided to have him arrested And I went looking for a cop I ran right outside And I hopped inside a cab I went out the other door This Englishman said, "Fab" As he saw me leap a hot dog stand And a chariot that stood Parked across from a building Advertising brotherhood I ran right through the front door Like a hobo sailor does But it was just a funeral parlor And the man asked me who I was I repeated that my friends Were all in jail, with a sigh He gave me his card He said, "Call me if they die" I shook his hand and said goodbye Ran out to the street When a bowling ball came down the road And knocked me off my feet A pay phone was ringing It just about blew my mind When I picked it up and said hello This foot came through the line Well, by this time I was fed up At tryin' to make a stab At bringin' back any help For my friends and Captain Arab I decided to flip a coin Like either heads or tails Would let me know if I should go Back to ship or back to jail So I hocked my sailor suit And I got a coin to flip It came up tails It rhymed with sails So I made it back to the ship Well, I got back and took The parkin' ticket off the mast I was ripping it to shreds When this coastguard boat went past They asked me my name And I said, "Captain Kidd" They believed me but They wanted to know What exactly that I did I said for the Pope of Eruke I was employed They let me go right away They were very paranoid Well, the last I heard of Arab He was stuck on a whale That was married to the deputy Sheriff of the jail But the funniest thing was When I was leavin' the bay I saw three ships a-sailin' They were all heading my way I asked the captain what his name was And how come he didn't drive a truck He said his name was Columbus I just said, "Good luck". more

Resolved Question: Can you check my grammar in english?

Hello, This is a cover letter and if you find any grammar mistakes, please correct and improve them. Thanks. -------- Dear P***, This summer, I really want to be a cosmetic PR assistant executive (AE) as an intern for P***. The reason why I chose P*** is because there are a bunch of advertising agencies, though, you are one of the famous companies who are dealing with cosmetics PR. Most women want to be beautiful and they use cosmetics to do so. That is why cosmetic advertising is essential. Since I was able to experience L***’s consumer testimonial campaign in person, I would know what customers would ask about the product, such as, “Are there any products like this...’ or ‘Does L*** have this promotion…’ Knowing how a customer thinks is a very important information to AE. AEs should be able to understand customers first and then make strategies. Most importantly, as a statistics major, I can draw up an official document and analysis very well. Also I am a member of the ****, an on-line cosmetic community, so I can track and analyze competitive beauty e-retailer landscape. In other words, I can stay aware of e-communication trend and programs as they relate to the prestige beauty arena. Today, I am ready to take on new challenges. After performing a thorough survey of the market, I have settled on your company as being one which most closely matches my own philosophy of excellence. I look forward to the opportunity to tell you how I would bring my experience and enthusiasm to your company. Thank you for your time and consideration in reviewing my materials. If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask. I look forward to work with you this summer. more

Resolved Question: what should I take up in college-- fashion, interior, architecture, entrepreneurship? ?

Im a junior and the pressure's great I really need to choose what I'd take up in college.Since I come from a family of architects and engineers, my dad wants me to take up architecture and after study interior design. But I'm really into fashion and entrepreneurship. I really love drawing clothes and clothes only. I'm also into selling stuff-- that this summer I'm gonna put those two together, I'm gonna put up an online store wherein I'd be selling my designs.But my dad said that here (in the philippines) fashion doesn't make much.The most famous designers we've got comes from the really really rich families, and that they've the money for advertising and stuff, and that if I follow him I wont find it hard to look for a job because I'd be working with him since he's an engineer. I really think that architecture's nice too but the problem is that I'm not really good at math.so what should I take up? BTW. do you think that being a girl lessens my value of being a good architect since this line of work is basically for men.. also.. what are the best schools for fashion design, Interior design, architecture and entrepreneurship/business? more

Resolved Question: I have problems selling my portraits. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Every time I try to sell an excellent piece of artwork, one or few of the following always happens: 1) I'll give a person a contact card, but I always get the famous line "I'll give you a call for sure!" They never call. 2) I try to advertise... I tried once in a newspaper... but I don't ever get any reply. 3) I show them off to few people, they absolutely love it, but never want to pay how much it's worth... i usually charge $65 or even $50, or they always broke. 4) I even tried few art stores, but no luck. 5) I posted them on the Internet, and had my sign-in name on messenger set to the link of the site, and told them they're for sale. Then people say that I'm not trying to make any money and I'm just wasting my talent? As hard as I tried?

Resolved Question: a mouse tale?

In the early 1930s a man named Eli was in the advertising bussiness. However this was not very profitable at the time. He became very pore, and his clothes were falling apart. His diet was also very limited, and his lunch consisted of cheese sandwiches. A small mouse lived in his apartment office and Eli shared part of his sandwich with the mouse. However over time this became even too much for him to afford. Needing to let the mouse go, he decided he could not let him just out the door since the resturaunt he lived over used mouse traps. He carried the mouse out to the woods, let it go and wished it to live happily ever after. Now we dont know the fate of the mouse, but Eli soon picked up a new line of work. He loved to draw, and he had drawn pictures of the mouse. He even put clothes on the mouse. For it was Elias Walt Disney who would name this mouse Mortimer Mouse. But his wife did not like this name and gave it a more famous name. Mickey Mouse more
