Am learning how to ride a motorcycle and am wondering when am slowing down can I wait to change the gears when am at a complete stop or do i have to decrese the gears one by one. I live where there is alot of traffic and it is pain in the behind if i always downshift while slowing down every minute or less. I thought it'll be easier for example if am in 4th gear, I'll stop the bike in the 4th gear...and then shift it back to the first. Will this wear out the clutch quickly?

i think this also damages my rotors cause i go through them once a year too. ive already replaced the calipers, (in pairs of course).i know brake pads are suppose to wear down flat and evenly and rotors should last a life time (no i dont drive like a maniac). it seems like there is something wrong that keeps causing this over and over.i replaced a tirerod end on one side not to long ago, i dont know if thats related.

All 3 say they cannot allow me to view my free credit report once per year, "because of active military"
Im not active anymore, but I once was.
Is this normal, or a signal that something might be bad on my report?

My boyfriend and I really do love each other but I don't think he knows that I want children in the near future. We've talked about having children and we both want them. However I'm not ready yet and I want to tell him that I don't want to wait till I'm over 30 to start. How do I bring up the topic of children without him freaking out and thinking I want one now?!

I hear that almost all economists agree that tariffs on imports are a bad idea. I never hear anyone say why though.

Wife love the name Hunter for a boy

I love the name Bailey for a girl

What do you think of them (we are thinking of them)

or last name starts with an H....for Bailey, I'm thinking of Celeste as a middle name, but wife is looking for other options as well just incase we don't want that middle name.

Any good middle name for a boy named Hunter...I wanted a H middle name so his initals would be HHH (Triple H...I'm a big DX/pro-wrestling fan...I know it's fake though and that's just like a male soap opera), but she doesn't want to do that to the child

Any help

I'm 30 years old Asian woman dating a 48 years old causcasion. We have been good friend for 2 years and he aways been there for me. We started dating and we become more than friend. I'm concern with our age gap and our race. My parent are old fashion and I know they will not accept it because they want me to date my own race. The age gap doesn't help either. Any suggestion?

This is a serious question, and I'm looking for serious, well-thought-out answers. I'm what you might call an atheist who is respectful of faith, and I'm looking for other points of view on when a person's faith ceases to be something to be protected and starts to be something from which others need to be protected.

In particular, I'm not looking for opportunistic stabs at other faiths, or answers that essentially boil down to "a faith is extremism when it is sufficiently different from my own." I AM looking for answers that are insightful and give me something to think about, and in particular those that can be universally applied to any faith (including non-religious faiths: think nationalism, faith in relationships, others, and oneself, superstitions, faith in systems and authorities, et cetera).

So, is 'extremism' just a dirty word we use to label faiths we don't like? Or is there something characteristic to 'extremism' that makes it universally bad (and what is it?)?

Hamburgers are eaten whole with one's hands in Japan . I heard that it was usual in UK to eat the hamburger with a knife and fork. If you do so, do you remove the top half of the bun? And don't you eat it at all?
Please tell me how you eat them.

Excerpt:

"...it was stated that when performing various tasks, many areas of women’s brains would be active whereas only one area of men’s brains would.  The conclusion was, not surprisingly, that the female brain may be able to tackle a problem more effectively because a woman “uses more of her brain.”  It seems like a tenable theory.  Very convincing indeed.
   
But some moons later it just so happened that I was reading another article on the subject and I came upon a very curious analysis.  Its author spoke about fMRI research involving the task of recognizing faces and, lo and behold, it was men’s brains that lit up all over the map.  What struck me, though, was the conclusion: “This may mean that men’s brains have to work harder to perform the task!”  I wonder, pray tell, to what can we attribute such diametrically opposite conclusions when viewing the same pattern of data?  Really, the equation is obvious: same phenomenon + different sex + same agenda  = different conclusion.  Very interesting indeed."

I really like the fair tax for several reasons. However, I hear two lines of thought...

1. It will benefit the rich and the poor the same.
2. It will benefit the rich much more than the poor.

Which is true and why?

So I know the Xbox 360, Wii, and Playstation 3 are not old at all but I was wondering how long would yall say its going to be before we hear about the NEXT generation? Do you think there even will be a next generation anytime soon? The Xbox and the Playstation 2 were not around extremely long before we heard about the 360 and the PS3!

Just want to see what yall think!
