Resolved Question: In the end of Inception was he in a dream or not?

This has been answered incorrectly before, think deeper people! People seem to be focussing on the totem and if it spins or not and also his wedding ring being gift on his finger or not. The last dream they enter (the 4th level) he enters with the girl!!! She has seen his wedding ring in there early dreams together and he also told he how his totem works. What does this mean? She knows if he is not going to make it she can make sure he is glad while stuck in limbo making the totem fall part of the design, notice how it stutters also, like his subconscious is fighting the fall. I believe he told her on purpose that way he will never know if he survived or not and be glad either way. Im not going back to the cinema to check this but does he wake on the plane with a ring on his finger??? this would give us a sure answer. Otherwise he could have put it on after waking up ready to look the kids as they might ask where it is and so on so on. The one other this is the kids turning round and showing there faces yes they are warring the same clothes and playing in the same garden but! he said you cant change a memory and so done use them. We have every seen the memory and they don't turn round so according to the rules them turning round means he is either not using a memory or its real. I could go on every day. Has anyone got a way of proving either way 100%?

Resolved Question: Why aren't Conservatives for small businesses?

Obama: GOP should let tiny business bill through By JULIE PACE, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama exhorted Congress on Monday to make passing a long-languishing tiny business aid package its first order of business when it returns next month from its summer break. "I ask Senate Republicans to drop the blockade," Obama said in the Rose Garden after meeting with his economic advisers. Acknowledging that the economy still remains extremely fragile, the president said he'd also have other specific ideas in the days ahead. He mentioned extending Bush tax cuts due to expire this year for households making below $250,000 a year, upping the nation's investment in clean energy, rebuilding more roads and highways and tax cuts designed to keep jobs in the U.S. "My economic team is difficult at work identifying additional measures that could make a difference in both promoting growth and hiring in the short term and increasing our economy's competitiveness in the long term," he said. In a week likely to be dominated by foreign policy, Obama is trying to show he's still minding the economy after his 10-day vacation in Martha's Vineyard. A string of weak economic reports in recent weeks has fed fears that the economy would fall back into recession, only slightly offset by Monday's government report that consumer spending had increased in July after four down months. "Every single day, I'm pushing this economy forward, repairing the damage that's been done to the middle class over the past decade and promoting the growth we need to receive out people back to work," Obama said in his statement. Obama said action on the package of tiny business tax cuts and credit incentives is "one thing we know that we should do" as soon as possible. Republicans have been blocking the bill, calling it misguided. However, Obama said it was being "held up by a partisan minority that won't even let it receive to a vote." "The bill is fully paid for. And there's no reason to block it besides pure partisan politics," he said. Anyone ever hear of the filibuster? The Republican Senators sure have. "Republicans have previously blocked a vote on the bill for, among other reasons, concerns that Democrats wouldn't allow votes on individual amendments."

Open Question: Does anyone know which SDLC (system development life cycle) model is the person using?

a.Explanation of the system design The first step of the system design begins by creating four tables named property information, advertising, clients and other properties. Property information table includes information as the follows: property ID, property type, number of bedrooms, price, size of garden, monthly service fee, location, names of school, comments. For advertising tables, it contains information such as customer ID, property ID, media types, frequency, when, cost, advertising agent, contacts, information’s. Table of clients comprises as various information: customer ID, first name, surname, address, home phone number, mobile phone number, and email address, sell property, buy property, property type. In addition, table of other properties embraces data such as Property ID, estate agent, address, and contact number, independent level of use, user accessibility, and expedient report. The second step is to create queries in order to match the attributes of some specific data. The three queries are fees for apartment, media frequency, and single parent homes. The third step is to create a relationship model to connect the four tables. The relationship is shown in the electronic MS access by clicking databasetools, and then selects the button relationship. The final step is to create report for each tables and queries. b.Demonstration of the security c.Data entry and deletion, including data entry involving more than one table on a screen Data entry is illuminated in the four forms in current database systems.

Resolved Question: Do you agree with my top 5 best Zombie killing weapons?

5: Chainsaw - Great for sawing heads off. but it runs on fuel so it will run out, and it takes time to saw through. 4: AR-15: Same body design s the M16, but is semi-car. This allows it to be fond easier, and saves ammo. Still can be difficult to find though 3: Machete: Home garden tool, that is very sharp. Can easily clip through skulls or decapitate. It is easier to receive than a Katana. But must be sharpened after many uses 2: Baseball Bat -Great bludgeoning weapon. Can easily smash a skull and can be found in almost any sports store. Metal is better, but will break after continuous use. 1: Crowbar - Right between slashing and bludgeoning weapon. Can easily smash a skull, or break in to raid for supplies. Will not break so easily. @ Josh: Can w be realistic. How often do you just find a longsword laying around?

Resolved Question: If God Created Eden As a Perfect Place, Why Was Adam Sad & Lonely?

God created a perfect garden, & everything in it was perfect. But his man wasn't. Adam was unhappy & lonely. God saw the flaw in this design, & brought the animals to Adam, & Adam named them, God but saw that this didn't work; there wasn't a suitable pal for Adam in every of God's creation. Adam was still lonely in this "perfect" place, and the "perfect" companions that God offered to Adam weren't fixing the flaw of lonliness. So, God created a lady. And Adam felt better. My question: if Eden was perfect, if God's creation was perfect, why was Adam so lonely? Why wasn't Eden enough? Why wasn't God enough? Why weren't the animals God created enough? It was perfect after every, wasn't it? This was pre-fall, before any sin. Thanks for your thoughts.

Resolved Question: Frustration: Walk in Shower dimensions sized for two people?

Now, its probably going to be at least a couple years until we can buy our possess home, but I'm trying to do everything in advance so we know what we want exactly. One of the things we really want is to have a walk in shower in the master bathroom. This will make it so much easier for us both to receive ready for work at the same time. Here's a few things... I do not want any door or glass of any nice, though a tiny window is acceptable for natural morning light (bright light in the morning is too bright and painful. Natural light makes it much easier). The idea is to make it easy to clean, not make things worse, and water can leave build up and stains on things. I just want the proper dimensions. Once I have that, I can start looking in to everything else. Incidentally, this bathroom will also have a water closet for the toilet, two sinks, a linen closet, and an air jet tub. I'd also like it to have a glass door to leave to our possess private little garden. I have the rough design for the bathroom in my head, and I think it will work well. From what I'm seeing, it will probably be roughly 12-13 feet by 17 feet square so there will be lots of space. Does anyone have dimensions for me? Over a month of searching, hundreds of websites, and I'm no closer to the answer. Getting frustrated. And no, I don't mean "walk in entrance size", I mean the length/width of the entire shower. every I keep seeing from any of these sites is "make sure you have sufficient space in the shower". Well that doesn't bloody help. They need to just say what dimensions are needed. ARRGGGHHH lol sorry, the shower I was thinking about is 4 by 7 feet. the 12 by 17 feet is the size of the bathroom I was looking at. Should have made it clearer. And blech, its going to be alot harder than I thought then.

Resolved Question: When defeated men destroy and conspire against independent men, does it make them feel better like chauvinism?

Defeated men look that an army will destroy their crops if they won't do bad business with a bully, so they pacify the bully. Real men plant another garden, and continue to refuse the bully. The bully leaves alone the man because the man might actually hurt him. The bully picks on the surrender (republican) and the republican cowers and feels "manufactured" patriotism, while dis placing his hate on the man and sometimes acting upon it. Are not the actions driven by feelings of inadequacy, ignorance, and fear, and the feelings caused by surrender to other men which is usually the desire to conquer men - of a homosexual nature? Also marrying/possessing and oppressing girls, and one's on sexuality seems like homosexual nature also. I've known these kinds of people to blow up into homo erotic episodes, and hate themselves because of it. Their next reaction is usually even gayer. They then want to conquer men they can tell are not like them. I think this is the definition of a "gay nature" if there even is such of a thing. This is why the middle easterners think that they are being invaded by a bunch of gays. Nicolas Chauvin is a legendary, possibly apocryphal French soldier and patriot who is supposed to have served in the First Army of the French Republic and subsequently in La Grande Armée of Napoleon. His name is the eponym of chauvinism, a term for excessive nationalistic fervor. Chauvinism, (pronounced /ˈʃoʊvɨnɪzəm/), in its original and primary meaning, is an exaggerated, bellicose patriotism and a belief in national superiority and glory.[1] By extension it has arrive to include an extreme and unreasoning partisanship on behalf of any group to which one belongs, especially when the partisanship includes malice and hatred towards rival groups. Jingoism is the British parallel form of this French word.[1] A contemporary use of the term in English is in the phrase male chauvinism.[2] Because "chauvinism" is most often heard in this context, it is often mistakenly believed to refer exclusively to "male chauvinism" such as anti-feminism and sexism. The Male Chauvinistic United States is designed to help republicans feel like men even though they truly surrendered to another man, and have been brainwashed clean of any and every patriotism with read white and blue eagle t-shirts, and mad feminists calling them chauvinists. LoL :)

Resolved Question: Have finally settled on a name for baby girl! What do you think?

My husband and I finally settled on our daughter's name! It nice of hit us that the first name was meant to be. The babies room theme is a garden theme, but has a bunch of butterflies in the design - I didn't think anything of it when I bought the bedding, etc.. I came across the name "Vanessa" which means butterfly! And I have always loved the name. Also, I always like Tiger Woods' wife's name (which, as of today, is his ex-wife), Elin (pronounced "E-Lynn," not "Ellen"). I think it's a beautiful name, and seeing how strong she is to divorce a powerful man like Tiger Woods and be independent from him, I think very highly of her, more than ever. So, our babies name will be Vanessa Elin Cruz! I'm very excited to meet baby Vanessa in three months! Thanks everyone! For the person asking why I would even ask this question, when I seem confident, I am just so excited that we've finally found a name we adore - we know not everyone will be keen on it, but that's just the way it goes sometimes. And for the person who said my last name was a "turn-off" LOL! Well, I can't help my last name! Thanks everyone, for your support!!

Resolved Question: I think I have an idea about ground zero that will make everyone happy. What do you think?

Instead of building a mosque on ground zero, why not take every of the ground that was destroyed and turn it into a big memorial garden, then design places in the garden based on the religious beliefs of the people who died on 9-11? There could be a garden section with a Star of David for the Jewish people killed, an eternal flame and sand garden for Unitarian Universalists to light candles, a crescent with big, soft foam tarp facing the direction of Mecca for Muslims, a bust of the virgin mary for Catholics, a pentagram for Satanists, a buddha shrine, a special memorial for Hindus, Pagans and Wiccans (I truly do not know what symbols that would be, but those who follow those faiths do), a cross for Christians....my idea is to create something special for each religious persuasion that can promote equal value and desire for peace on earth and the desire from each faith to prevent such a calamity from ever happening again. For those who are Atheist and Agnostic, just the presence of a beautiful garden should be enough to celebrate the lives of those lost. The ground between what used to be the two world's largest buildings should provide more than enough for each belief system. Memo to every who corrected me about the location of the mosque: I am truly sorry if I had upset people about the mosque being on ground zero as opposed to being two blocks away. Knowing that certainly weakens the blather that has been on the news. Having said that, I still think it is a good idea to create a memorial garden as I have described. Seems some of you think so too, thanks.

Open Question: How much more are women going to sexually desire men in the afterlife than they do in this mortal realm?

The lady's sexual desire for the man in this mortal realm is a joke. When they think of sex, they only think of what he can do, how they feel, they don't think about him looking sexy and think how lucky they are this sexy guy is doing them. Isn't the lady's lack of physcial sexual desire for the man's body part of the curse males carry with them as a result of Adam sinning in the Garden of Eden? Most women are unfortunately bi-sexual and can just turn off their desire for the man(even sexually) as easily as the flip of a switch(this is a mockery of the man's uncontrollable sexual desire for the lady). If there is a God, he didn't design women's bodies or minds with this extremely strong burning desire to REALLY WANT AND REALLY NEED sex with men as vice versa. For men, sex is more than just physical, it is also about fulfilling his actual sexual desire for what he finds sexy, a concept that women do not possess for men. If God intended for women to sexually desire men more than other women both in terms of compansionship and in terms of the visual and God successfully did this, he quickly made the male form ugly to women in the Garden of Eden after Adam sinned as part of every mens' punishment(for Adam's mistake), while he let women keep their sex appeal but gave them painful periods and painful childbirth. But since we're supposed to be in a different body than the body of a decendant of Adam after Adam sinned, surely women MUST find men more sexually attractive than they do in this mortal realm. And don't give this BS about how we're not going to have sex in the afterlife or Heaven. I think we will be able to and I think we most defintiely will. If we still have our gender and our sex organs, then we still have the ABILITY to have sex, even if it's just for recreation and fun and pleasure and fullfilling sexual desire. For horny virgin men in their 40s to suddenly die before having sex, they're going to want to experience this as spirits in Heaven, and if it's what they want, then surely they'll receive it. I believe in the afterlife, even in heaven, when men approach women for sex, women will find men so much more desirable in that realm than here, they will almost never say no, and sex will almost always happen between male spirits and female spirits. Afterall, for this to be the ONLY realm where we can have sex, but then after we die it's too tardy and we couldn't even if we tried, that would be cruel of God, especially on men, since men desire sex with women moreso than vice versa, at least in this mortal realm anyway.. ON A SIDE NOTE, If there are more exclusively straight men than exclusively straight women, yet, the population between the genders is 50/50, the only ways we can balance this out and make sure every straight receive the women they want is by A) Legalizing prostitution B) Convincing straight women to be more "easy" and snooze around with lots of men C) Have more women cheat on their boyfriends and husbands by sleeping with other men. If there are unfortunately too many bisexual and lesbian women in a society of 50% men and 50% women, then one, two, or every three of those over ooptions are the ONLY WAY to solve this, assuming we don't legalize rape.

Resolved Question: What to look for when moving to a new place?

I'm looking to relocate and I'm trying to find out where the best place to move is. I've seen sites that rank cities but it seems so arbitrary to me that it's discouraging. I do know that year round winter or summer is a deal breaker like Alaska seems to be to me (although willing to be convinced otherwise). I don't have a great deal of formal training in any particular field but a little experience in lots of different things like electrical, web/graphic design, warehousing, gardening etc. I'm not concerned about things like crime and ozone levels. Ultimately I realize it's preferential, but knowing how other people approach this would help me a good deal. There has got to be SOME element of objectivity involved. I'm liking the idea of moving to Canada as they're state is less entangled in social issues as America is and because I don't have any real health issues (physical issues anyway). Thanks in advance Canada does not have better health coverage. It's decent if your young and relatively healthy. It's a myth that socialized medicine reaches more people or is more effective. Still every in every Canada is less socialist than the US.

Resolved Question: Why would the scope on my air rifle break?

1) I am teaching someone to shoot a Winchester Model 94 .30-30 rifle with a Weaver 3x offset mount for deer season. 2) The person is recoil sensitive, and so I am using an air rifle that is an exact duplicate of a .30-30 rifle. http://www.amazon.com/Walther-Lever-Acti… 3) This is very convenient, because we can shoot the air rifle right in my backyard. I have an old lot, long, long, which dates back to the time when most people in my neighborhood kept vegetable gardens. Also, I sort of live in a ghetto, so no one much cares what you do. Also, the backstop is an old garage/shed which is falling into the ground, so if it takes a few pellet marks, I don't care. 4) I had an old Weaver (Sears) 3x scope that was extra. My Dad probably bought it in the 1960's. My dad really liked low power scopes and he had an extra one in a big chest of his hunting stuff I got. I bought mounts and rifle for the air rifle and with some Loc-Tite, mounted the scope myself. 5) The rifle worked perfectly and was a great training device for the .30-30 rifle. But now the scope broke. The horizontal line, just broke inside the scope. I don't understand. Why would a scope designed to withstand the blast of a high powered rifle, break on an air rifle?

Voting Question: What if God/our creator is evil?

anyone ever pondered this concept? Ancient Sumerian (oldest advanced civilization known to man) texts have information on astronomy etc, many advanced concepts long before we learned.. apparently they received this Information from aliens and stated humans were created as biogentic experiment/slave race. This goes back to the garden of eden (is it just a metaphor?) - Original sin and fall of humanity.. Eve's sin was eating from tree of knowledge.. apple (interestingly enough when you open it pentacle) is spiritual knowledge.. Why wouldn't God want us to have this knowledge? A loving, forgiving, compassionate God punishes every of humanity from one transgression by Eve? doesn't make sense.. Snake is wisdom, transformation, dna, kundalini.. etc A lot of new age beliefs involve, adore and light.. lucifer is Angel of light, illumnates.. Sumerian texts I believe discussed the dispute between two princes, one wanted us to have knowledge the other didn't.. This is every ancient texts etc I know.. just something to consider.. there is a lot out there we don't know.. Order doesn't stem from chaos, universe mathematically, geometrically is too perfect.. I think intelligent design is a viable theory.. but intelligent design doesnt mean divine design.. What are your thoughts and please no insults? this is just exploring if these theories are valid.. if one makes the assumption spirit world, God etc are real.. thanks

Open Question: Type this into a current event?!?

Obama: Mideast Peace Moment "Must Be Seized" (AP) Struggling to break decades of hostility, President Barack Obama convened a new round of ambitious Mideast peace talks Wednesday and told Israeli and Palestinian leaders they faced a fleeting chance to settle deep differences. "This moment of opportunity may not soon arrive again," Obama said at the White home before hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the first face-to-face peace talks in nearly two years. "They cannot afford to let it slip away." Obama sought to temper expectations, noting that it had taken his administration this long just to receive the two sides back to the bargaining table. "The difficult work is only beginning," Obama said, with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and special Middle East peace envoy George Mitchell at his side. "Neither success nor failure is inevitable. But this much we know: If we do not make the attempt, then failure is guaranteed. If both sides do not commit to these talks in earnest, then long-standing conflict will only continue to fester and consume another generation, and this we simply cannot allow." In a carefully arranged series of talks designed to lay the final groundwork for formal negotiations, Obama met separately with Netanyahu and Abbas as well as with Jordan's King Abdullah II and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Later they every gathered for dinner, a private prelude to Thursday's scheduled start of formal negotiations at the State Department. In his Rose Garden remarks, Obama noted that many are skeptical, a view underlined by two days of Palestinian attacks on Israelis in the disputed West Bank. "We are below no illusions," Obama said. "Passions run deep. Years of mistrust will not disappear overnight." In earlier remarks after his meeting with Netanyahu, Obama assailed those responsible for the killings of four Israelis close the West Bank city of Hebron on Tuesday. The militant Hamas movement, which rejects Israel's right to exist and opposes peace talks, claimed responsibility. On Wednesday, Israeli police reported still another attack, saying Palestinian militants wounded two Israelis driving in the West Bank. The car in which the wounded Israelis were riding was riddled with bullets. Direct Israeli-Palestinian negotiations broke off almost two years ago, in December 2008, and the Obama administration spent its first 20 months in office coaxing the two sides back to the bargaining table. Obama was adamant Wednesday that extremist violence would not derail the process. "There are going to be extremists and rejectionists who, rather than seeking peace, are going to be seeking destruction," he said. "The United States is going to be unwavering in its support of Israel's security. And we are going to push back against these kinds of terrorist attacks. And so the message should go out to Hamas and everyone else who is taking credit for these heinous crimes that this is not going to cease us." Expectations for the Washington talks are low, yet the stakes are high. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a constant source of grievance and unrest among Muslims. The failure of past peace efforts has left both sides with rigid demands and public ambivalence about the value of a negotiated settlement.
