Why is it that the creators of the Wade-Giles romanization system chose so many unintuitive transliterations of Chinese sounds? Why is "p" pronounced as "b" in English, and "k" pronounced as "g," for instance? I know Wade-Giles was intended for academics, but that doesn't seem to explain why they would do things that make no sense. How does it help the academic to have to mentally substitute all Ps for Bs, unless they have an apostrophe after them? I don't get it..

For me it's "best decade ever". For music, movies, clothes, tv, hair. I love the 80's. What about you?

...and I'm worried I'll do something stupid?
Me and my exgirlfriend are still friends but we didn't really make plans for the holidays cos she was spending time with her new boyfriend on the last day of school and I've missed her so much.
Me and my ex have been together twice and the second time she dumped me it was because some one had given her proof that I'd betrayed her trust when I hadn't and she said because of it she never wanted to go out with me again. I admit the first I betrayed her trust and she found out but the second time I didn't but she found out from the same source and he had proof that I'd betrayed her trust both times and I haven't really told her that she'd been lied to cos I didn't want to make feel stupid.
Yesterday I rang her bestfriend cos we hang about together alot and she's really the reason me and ex got together both times and I told her the true story cos she's been tellin me to back off from my ex lakely and she said to tell her the truth but I'm...

We have a dog and I don't know what to do with all her "stuff". Would putting it into the compost pile hurt the pile or help it or what? I don't want to mess it all up. This is the first time I've done one. Thanks!

I tried posting this in travel & didn't get many responses. I figure there are other couples that have been that could read this and give advice.

I would like to have a nice anniversary weekend with my husband in mid October in a cabin or hotel or maybe a B&B that is closer to nature in Galinburg but still accessible to some decent restaraunts. I need a package that is budget minded around $350 if possible. A very clean, simple is place is fine. A jacuzzi would be a plus but it's not a neccessity. A comfortable mattress is a must.

The last time we spent most of our time hiking in the park and never even set foot in the touristy junk shops. I am hoping to go back and enjoy some of the fall colors, and relax. I'd prefer reccomendations of some places you have personally stayed in. My husband always is doing nice things for me I want to surprise him with something special this year. He really loves fall scenic views

What is going on here is - Someone is making (or has had) multiple accounts. - This person wants the rest of these people to think it's me. Bob Lowblaw then goes around making sure they think along those lines. (So I suspect it's him)
Well it's not me, nor is it my wife.

My question to you is // Why doesn't Yahoo set up their system to only allow one account per IP-address?
Can Yahoo block an entire IP-address?

If they can do these things will you please recommend that it be done to this person's (The person pretending to be Erica) IP. - It would solve a mountain of issues.

Non-Muslims are constantly pressuring Muslims to reprimand extremism. Most of us DO! But there is no concept of a hierarchy in Islam like many other religions (Pope, Dalai Llhama etc).

What this means is that there is a heightened pressure on the media to cover these Muslims and help their voices heard? Why then does the media continue to ignore us and plaster the news with ignorant Muslims?

It's cuz they want the damn ratings. People WANT controversy. So maybe it isn't all our *fault* in the end. If they wanted our voices to be heard they'd give us a shot to explain it..but they don't. I'd be glad to see ANYONE from my community but I never have.

Peace.

I am an absolute beginner and I want to buy an acoustic guitar for $200 or less and I narrowed it down between a Yamaha and an Epiphone....which one do you think is better? Along the same lines, which model of the Yamaha and Epiphone is good? I read a bit about the Yamaha F310, but now I am leaning towards the Yamaha F335, as it seems newer/better and just a tiny bit pricier. I just want a guitar that I can play pop, rock, and other mainstream songs with that is reliable and sounds good. I'm also dying to learn how to play rock songs on an electric guitar so after I get good with an acoustic one, I'll probably buy an electric one in the future. All advice, comments, help is much appreciated, thanks.

Can someone tell me whether I can play something like Somewhere Over the Rainbow (rock version) on a non-electric guitar and still have it sound good? Again I know nothing about music/guitars so please share your knowledge with me.

Since the erly sixties while I was in gradeschool we have KNOWN the enviorment was in trouble, (this isnt new folks), and rather then pass laws to help save the planet, the government went gleefully on pillageing and rapeing the earth. Now we are in serious and possibly un fixable straights. Shouldnt I be able to sue the US government for at least inaction? Malfeasence? Deraliction of duty? You cant be a nurse or dr and walk away from a dying person without being sued. Doesnt our government have at least as much responsibility to insure our futures and those of our progeny?
