I am starting to notice that some of my favorite bands, especially European have been touring in Mexico, but not in USA. Also, I find it interesting that Anime came to Mexico at least a decade before USA. Can someone explain why? Give me some perspective. I live in Texas, and have barely been out of state, let alone the country so I don't know very much about other nations or cultures and am VERY anxious to learn. Sadly, I feel that most of my fellow citizens could care less about other cultures.

I'm a 20 year old college student and obviously don't have the means to purchase a house right now, let alone time! I figure by the time I actually do buy a house, prices will be back to normal and I'll be working a couple more years of my life to pay off my mortgage than I might've if I was born just a few years earlier! Is there any way I can "get in" on this market that's sure to rebound? I've got around $10,000 in stocks right now. If there's something better I can do with that money, let me know!

every morning yew wake up, get ready for the day, sometimes go to work or study if your a student, eat, drink, walk the dog or whatever, maybe theres a tv programme you like thats on at 6, same old pub down the road, same old faces, sleep....I can't help but think that routine dominates our lives so much that most of us aren't enjoying it as much as we should. Yew think ooo a holiday would help, and yes the idea does excite you for a bit but most of the time when you get there you fall straight into planning every single day out so theres not really any suprise left. Kind of sad to think about really...Is there anything without routine??

methods to experiment on your own? I've seen this expression in business journals urging one to choose the roads less traveled. I believe, in most cases, it leads to disaster unless you're an artist or doing some other type creative work. You can be creative in business, of course, but too much creativity can doom your ship to flounder. What do you think?

I got into an argument with a friend over whether women who wear sizes 0 through 8 spend more or less on clothing then women who wear larger sizes. He argued that a woman in the 0-8 range would be more likely to be a clotheshorse due to more designer clothes tending to be cut more flatteringly for their frames. I argued that larger women would spend more to compensate. He argued that overweight women are more likely to have less money, and I argued that wealthier folks might actually spend less on clothing.

Can anybody find some concrete numbers on what sizes of women spend more on clothing?

We need a list of companies within the US and Europe for the following:

- Apparatus, equipment and vending machine manufacturer (engineering)
- System integration
- Data cards, barcode and RFID systems
- Software program

Where can we find companies for the above mentioned components?
What website can we use which has all the companies for these products?

Any good and helpful advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time in advance!

A client will owe little or be zeroed out and he has either charged them an additional amount or accepted overpayment and will not refund them. (he will not inform them).

a friend. Are there specific, reputable jobsites for those looking in a specific field of work? Or are there some "helpful tips" websites for finding a job in his field. I know that he has over 15 years of work experience for an automotive company and worked in a managerial position for the past few years. I am not really knowledgable about his field nor how to help him in his job search. I would really appreciate any helpful advice or suggestions! Thank you!!

let them go due to "recession" and then a few weeks later asked them to cover for a week whilst they take their 4th holiday / vacation this year? Over sensitive?

According to an analysis of the health insurance reform bill by the Wall Street Journal, "• Sec. 412 (p. 272) says that employers must provide a "qualified plan" for their employees and pay 72.5% of the cost, and a smaller share of family coverage, or incur an 8% payroll tax. Small businesses, with payrolls from $500,000 to $750,000, are fined less."

So what happens if the 8% payroll tax saves the business money? Won't they drop their already-well-qualified plans, to reduce the cost of doing business?

This all stems from the desire to expose my daughter to a bilingual upbringing, I find that there is a massive gap in the market for bilingual and/pr toys that do not contain roman based scripts.

With this in mind I thought it might be time to see if I could do something about it. I simply would like to find a manufacture (preferably UK based) who is willing to create some puzzles and or wooden toys to help with language learning. Any ideas where to look or what I should do??
