I love soccer and I'm really, really good. I can control the ball really, really well. I have been playing it since I was like 3. For the last 3 yrs (I go to highschool) I've been in my soccer team and from the games we played we won 19 games out of the 21 we had. I'm the captain. I wanna play for the US women's national soccer team, and and then open my own soccer facility. Is this a realistic dream? Seriously? I wont be hurt if you dont think this is possible.

I don't get the difference between the effective annual interest rate and nominal rate, how does it make the answer for this question any different??
the question is: you are considering a 10 year 1,000 par value bond. its coupon rate is 9 percent, and interest is paid semi-annually. If you require an "effective" annual interest rate (not a nominal rate) of 8.16 percent, then how much should you be willing to pay for the bond?
I used a financial calculator to do the following:
since its semi-annual i calculated payment as (PMT): .09/2 x 1000 = 45
Number of years (N) = 10 x 2 = 20
Interest (I/Y) = 8.16/2 = 4.08
Future Value (FV) = 1000
and i computed PV which equals = 1,056.68
PV is max price investor is willing to pay for the bond, did i get it right, and how is effective vs. nominal interest rate make my answer any different? rather, what does it even mean?

FIRST she is getting spayed at tax time...we want the best for her..so we have opted to wait until then. Yes there are free places but she may have complications due to her bad genetics so we are waiting...we'll have enough money then in case something serious goes wrong then too. YES we have enough to do it now at the regular vet...but we want a specialist nearby just in case.

Anyway she's in heat. Right now she is whinning nostop. I think she has cramps or something. She is constantly whinning. It's getting sort of old...so what can I do to make her feel better. Will putting a warm wash cloth on her belly close to her well..pick a name for it...help any or will that raise her body temp too much. What should I do? HELP ME OUT SOMEONE! She isn't happy right now at all. I don't like that. I want my fur baby to be happy.

My vet has told me my dog has a slipped disc but didn't take an xray. He told me to keep him caged for two weeks then to start physio. But i'm wondering if thats what it is. His back end has gone completely but he can hardly use his front legs and is curling his front paws in. He also seems off balance when he's laying down and just moving his head. He's on painkillers so hopefully not too uncomfortable but i'm very worried. By the way he's a Jack Russell cross with allsorts. Does this sound like a slipped disc or something else??

I just realized today that my driver's license expired 2 days ago on my birthday. I paid my license renewal fee by mail about 2 weeks ago. Do I have to go to the secretary of state and get a new license or will they send one in the mail, and can I still drive until they do so?

What would happen if I get pulled over? Will it show up in the system that it has been renewed or will I be arrested for diving with an expired license?

A lion wakes up one morning feeling really rowdy and mean. He goes out and corners a small monkey and roars, "Who is the mightiest of all jungle animals?"

The trembling monkey says, "You are, mighty lion!"

Later the lion confronts a wildebeast and fiercely bellows, "Who is the mightiest of all jungle animals?"

The terrified wildebeast stammers, "Oh great lion, you are by far the mightiest animal in the jungle!"

On a roll now, the lion swaggers up to an elephant and roars, "Who is the mightiest of all jungle animals?"

Fast as lightning, the elephant snatches up the lion with his tunk and slams hinm against a tree half a dozen times, making the lion feel like it's been run over by a safari wagon. The elephant then stomps on the lion until he looks like a corn totrilla and then ambles away.

The lion lets out a moan of pain, lifts his head weakly and hollers after the elephant, "Jeez, just because you don't know the answer, you don't have to get so pis*ed off!!"
