I am thinking that I do not want to take AP Calc my Senior Year and I need help deciding guys. Basically Im never going to be in a math or science based field and I will be pursuing liberal arts studies in creative writing Math is hard for me to begin with so I wont get the AP credit. Is it a good decision to rather take more english courses? Ive taken every AP Class known to my school lol, with AP Government & Politics, AP Biology, AP U.S. History, and AP Pyschology. Along with the AP Calculus, I was planning on taking AP Physics, AP Chemistry, AP English, AP Statistics, AP European History and Italian 4. If I werent to take AP Calculus, I would still have a math course, and 5 additional AP classes which I believe is still a tremendous workload. In replacement of the AP Calculus, I would take new english electives that my school offers this year for the first time They would be waited at Honors Level for half a credit each, so I would take two of them And I guess my question is, would a college such as N.Y.U rather see me pursuing courses that are english and writing based, or see me push it hard with a difficult course such as AP Calc, which I know I will struggle tremendously in Also, if you can weight my chances of getting into somewhere like N.YU. what would u say? Top Ten of Class 1800 on SATs I will be getting the scores up....500 Math no good lol, 600 Reading, 700 WRITING National Honor Society Drama Club/Theater Participant Many Additional CLubs Filmer of Town Events Recipient of an award known as "Rotary Student of the Month: October 2009" Trinity College of Hartford Book Award Recipient 2010 etc. Approx G.P.A 3.7
Answer: Youre taking AP Stats, so youll have a math. So drop AP Calc. No worries. IMO, you also dont have to take both AP Physics and AP Chem, unless you really want to. And if that frees you up to 1 take more English/writing classes, and 2 prep for your SAT so you can improve that math score, then all the better. So long as you have all your bases covered which you would by having 1 math and 1 science during your senior year, rather than doubling up, then feel free to use the extra time to explore your true interests. Take those extra English classes. Thats fabulous. You have to bring your math SAT score up. 500 is not good enough for the types of colleges I want you to be looking at. AP Calc would not help you do that, anyway. The math on the SAT, as you probably noticed, is far lower level math. Youd do better getting a tutor or a book like this one http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Pre-Algebra-Cliffs-Quick-Review/dp/0764563742/refsr_1_6?sbooks&ieUTF8&qid1283187566&sr1-6 and reviewing your basic math and pre-Algebra than you would by going forward to AP Calc. In fact, AP Stats, IMO, would help you more on the SAT than AP Calc would. Its not that you cant do the math. Its that for you, its been a LONG TIME since youve really had to do the math at the SAT level, and you need to review it. This type of book, PLUS an SAT test prep book, IMO would serve you well.

OK, I Have A Japanese Music Question: Tissue Hime?
OK, cosplay, cross-dressed, Karaoke music videos are a big rage recently. We have one Korean bass player and one Japanese bass player. The Korean bass player is "hjfreaks" Hyunmo Kim...a truly GREAT Jazz bassist; the Japanese player goes by "Tissue Hime" Tissue Princess, so... Is Princess Hime really in drag, or is he/she a girl. My wife also says that this cross-dressing thing is actually somewhat of an unspoken tradition in Japanese and Korean society. I think she is FOS and having me on. Can anyone shed some light on this Tissue...uh, issue? In case you have never seen them... "hjfreaks" Hyunmo Kim, Cagayake GIRLS K-ON - Konata 8-String Bass http://www.youtube.com/watch?vACwy0u91B-g "Tissue Hime", Go My Way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v2cL39fmHYBE&featurerelated @3: The first guy is Hyunmo Kim, the best slap bassist in the world...and the 1 bass player in South Korea. His Jazz/Funk group is Oriental Express...and they incorporate traditional instruments in their jazz. Here is one of their real concerts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?vHR3-GQxGlJE This is REALLY worth a listen and view...and I play a Rickenbacker 4001 and a Fender Jazz Fretless a la Jaco Pastorius...may he RIP @3: I HAVE heard Kenny Neal...great chops, but Carol Kaye is still the Goddess of the Electric Bass...and she still kicks bootay @3: ONE LAST VIDEO....This is, in my opinion, and I have played and sung professionally since High School, 44 years ago, this is the BEST guitarist in Japan. I am not an Ozzie fan, but please listen to this kid...and I do mean KID. This is NOT a hype or a scam...this kid is beyond words good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?vJCdSgqQRUU0
Answer: Okay, I cant tell you about traditions. Furthermore, without the respect that I have developed for your posts, I would not even bother to respond. First video, obviously a cross-dresser, right? If he/she is really playing the bass, there is nothing special to get enthusiastic about. Just my opinion. Second clip. Liked the bass much better. Still, not star quality. Sorry, I just dont excited by overly excited performers singing in a high voice. I could share with you what I consider to be good music if you email me. Cross dressing being an unspoken tradition? Well, you do see them on TV. But personally, I dont see them on a day to day basis. You want to hear a really good bass guitar player? Check out YouTube for Kenny Neal. I would like to give you a link, but most of the stuff is Kenny and lead guitar. But his brother plays the bass. Kenny does too. But when that bass comes in? All I can say is that it rocks. NOTE: This doesnt happen to me often. Where I get turned on to a new kind of music that I LIKE. Well, you did it. That was cool. Kinda a Jean-Luc Ponty kinda jazz. The drums werent too special, but everything else? It was there. Cool. Gonna bookmark that. May even buy the recording. Thanks for the heads up. My records of Jaco Pastorius got burned up in a house fire while I was on vacation in Jamaica. Nothing left but a puddle of plastic. Sad, huh?

Ramadan: How does one explain the rising crime rates in one of the most conservative Muslim societies?
MAKKAH, Jul 3 Arab News: Recent headlines in local media that have highlighted gory crimes have raised the question — why has crime increased in our Muslim society? http://www.daijiworld.com/news/news_disp.asp?n_id80509
Answer: I was just reading a news article where they talked about soaring unemployment rate in Saudi Arabia. When people cannot get employment they resort to crime to meet the ends. This is a fact and soaring unemployment has caused the fall of many a government around the world. The reason for soaring unemployment is ingrained in the education system of Saudi Arabia. Rather than putting emphasis on modern education which could help the people to get a gainful employment, they have unnecessary emphasis on religious education. Do I use an Engineer or a religious cleric to run my Petroleum industry? Why would I need a religious cleric if I have to raise a skyscraper? Unless the house of Sauds reform their mentality and embraced the modern values and education, the crime rate would keep increasing exponentially, resulting in the eventual collapse of monarchy. Anyway, if such a scenario does emerge, it would be only for the betterment of the people of Saudi Arabia. Monarchy has no place in todays world. Let democracy rule.

Embracing a clothing optional household with children?
There is a common misconception that children raised in a clothing optional household where they see their parents naked, would be psychologically tarnished for life. In reality, children do not care about clothes and naked bodies the way adults do once they become sexualised. They do not gain sexual thoughts but gain an ownership of their Self and are generally more confident in themselves. When children are use to seeing the naked form in their every day life, they do not find themselves needing to buy something because a sexy body is advertising shoes or a car or some other product not related to the sex pushed to sell a product. Children also become more aware and are far less likely to suffer from eating disorders and sexual assaults. So isnt it time society dropped the hide the body and just learn to live naturally?
Answer: Yep

Or am i wrong? What do you think of this Double Standard in our Society?
Answer: Because it Sexist and wrong and because women and society in General thinks if guys cry then there is something wrong with us but there isnt. If we arent supposed to cry then why do we have tear ducts and emotions?

Describe in the most basic terms what you want your society to be and explain what stops that from happening?
A society based on international trade and interdependence that will bring you the wonders of the world but leave you in a state of being removed from the things which impact your life and entire sets of circumstance completely out of your control and in the trusted hands of others you judge competent servants of the public will A wage that insures a base quality of life acceptable to all available to all --- a predefined if your working 40 hours the money you get should at least be able to provide this base minum of a living standard ---- or to never be involved and have wages be seen as a thing of pride to be kept secret and never discussed or compared in either amount or purchasing power Safe and free movement --- or tolls to pay for private ussage passageways offered to the public for a cost --- The collection of taxes you have no say in --- or a strangle hold on what the government can gain revenues from in order to allow the purchases of the people more freedom of choice by economic leverage than the government --- Should pricing things outside the markets ability to pay be used as a leverage against those people to create strangle holds --- or commodities undersold in such mass as to bankrupt all smaller or should the rule of law be based more on fighting profiteering and corporate warfare which only ever hurts the market choices of goods while centralizing an economic power Describe in the most basic terms what you want your society to be and explain what stops that from happening?
Answer: 1. A decent education for everyone who wants one. Government has screwed up our system. 2. Jobs that provide a living wage. Businesses arent staying in the USA. 3. Less taxes. Government cant keep their greedy hands off my money. 4 Less pay, benefits, and perks for elected officials. They drain our economy. They have people brainwashed to believe we need them and they deserve their wages. 5. Elected officials who serve out of a sense of civic duty and then return to "regular" jobs. We make politics far too lucrative. 6. Affordable health care for everyone who wants it. Insurance companies have us by the balls. 7. Military troops here at home to provide us with homeland security, instead of all over the world. We cannot police the entire world.

Do you think the nation between mexico and canada is in trouble because it turned its back on God?
I do. With abortion, sex outside of marriage, idolizing money, widespread greed, love of self, kids not honoring parents, openly mocking the Lord, among other violations... Everyone knows you will reap what you sow. But most /mericans are scratching there heads and asking "whats wrong with our society?" I think the nation turned its back on God, and instead of depending on God, it now leans on its own combined understanding. Shunning the truth that the Almighty Lord God can help the nation out of its problems, and cause it to grow in righteousness.. http://www.LittleScroll.com Paige: drug abuse is bad for you

Conflict of the Host by Stephenie Meyer?
what was the MAIN conflict of this book? Was the conflict person v.s. person society, nature, or self? what were three events that solved the conflict? What was the tone of this story and why? how would u summarize this book in three sentences? IF THIS QUESTION IS ANSWERED CORRECTLY I WILL GIVE YOU BEST ANSWER BETTER HURRY I NEED THIS QUESTION ANSWERED BEFORE 8/31/10
Answer: The main conflict was that the alien was invading the humans body. The person who used to control it still had part of her mind; she was a fighter. The conflict was in the characters self, literally and figuratlively, LOL Three events that solved this conflict was when the alien fell in love with someone the human didnt love, when they used the alien to help and she found she could be useful to the hiding group of people, and when they took the alien out of the humans body and put her in another body. The tone of the story was kind of negative, being in bad situations a lot... The alien invades Melanies body, but Melanies mind wont fade away for the alien. Melanies mind influences the aliens decisions, and soon they go to find the one they both love. The alien falls in love with someone else, and the alien is taken out of Melanies body so Melanie can have the one she loves and the alien can be with the one she loves.
