How did Paul Simon get away with doing this song without infringing on copyright laws by using Kodak's "Kodachrome" film and "Nikon camera" in the song's lyrics?
I assume both companies allowed him to do it because it was advertising for their products!

We have a year old washer and moved 2 days ago. Nothing was wrong before we moved. Now the water fills but the motor won't go on. The outlet works, the circuit breaker is on and the washer is full of water. Is there a reset button? Where can I look?

I am a young woman but I want to be as masculine as possible. I kind of have the look down but not really, and my mannerisms can still be a little too feminine. So, keeping in mind that I cannot take T or have any surgeries (and that I don't really want to):

1. How tightly do I need to bind?
2. How much shorter should I cut my hair (3" already)?
3. What do I do about my voice?
4. Do I need to shave my face?
5. How much muscle tone should I have?
6. What are "manly hands" as opposed to "girly hands"?
7. Which is more masculine: glasses or contacts?
8. Should I cut down on my "high diction" when writing?

I would sincerely appreciate any help that you could offer me.

When using parafin was, to be specific, container wax with vybar added, what are the steps to makeing candles. I know you melt the wax and add your scents, but then, is there a certain way you must pour them or can you just pour it into your container. Thanks

I have been searching online for this answer, but am coming up with everything, but the one I need. Can you have HCG in your system, and not be pregnant? I went for a blood test yesterday, and it came up negative. When I spoke with the nurse today she told me that my level was at 2.0, and that they consider anything under a 10 negative. I have very regular periods, however this month I got what I thought to be my period one week early, and it lasted for one day. I have heard that blood test are very accurate, and can detect low levels very early in pregnancy. What I am wondering could it be that I tested too early knowing that I tested about 5 days before my period was suppose to be due? Once again can you have HCG in your system, even if you are not pregnant? I thought that it would have came up 0, or -0, if such a thing as that, and not with a low level if any. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my question.

For my boyfriend (an Atheist) to buy me (an Agnostic) a Nintendo DS lite for a present, to be opened on December 25th?

Why?

Just asking because I see lots of questions along the lines of "Why do non believers celebrate Christmas?" and am wondering why some Christians are so selfish when it comes to holidays.

I am looking for a bed that will allow me to get uninterupted sleep each night. I weigh about 130 pounds and have tested the temperpedic but found it to be too firm. I tried the Kingdown and it felt great but I read so many nasty reviews on it. Plus it is 3 thousand dollars. I prefer a cushy mattress. No firm mattress for me. So what do you think? What should I look into? How 'bout the Serta international touch memory foam?

i wasn't going out with *girl1*, but i fancied her ALOT, then i found out she had a bf, but the fondness that had built up added to my wanting to be her friend more.

anyway, she later played a cruel prank on me, she told me this other girl fancied me, and i trusted *girl1* so much, it turned out that the other girl didn;t know anything about it.

and the hate that was once just limited to *girl1*, has been rapidly turning into a severe dislike for most other girls :(

and the f*cked up part about it is, i think deep down, if i had the chance to go out with her, i would, but i don't know if it would be out of any type of "love", or simply to have sex and then leave

how can i move on, and let go of the aggression and hatred
