In the manhwa President Dad, Ami's dog's name is Mar-Bok. Can someobody tell me what this name means? Is it a 'dog name' (IE Americans name their dogs stupid things like Rex and others...) I can tell it's not a common name for children. Are there other common traditional names Koreans give their dogs?
common dog name in korea is . Ba-Duk-E(its pretty old, they used to name their dog ba duk-e back in the day).
()[mar-bok]: the last 10-day period of the dog days (beginning around early August);the last phase of the dog days[midsummer heat]

A brief 4000 year history? An oxymoron.
Churchill said, and I paraphrase, I can talk on any subject unprepared for hours, but if you want me to do it in 5 minutes you have to give me a week to prepare.
Wikipedia... if you type Greece in and the first paragraph will explain a little about Greece... you can the re-word it and tweak it to suite your needs and add a little info. in...
this won't be cheating if you've re-worded it because you've still found the source
good luck
-wikipedia has so much you can read about the food and say what it is and give some examples, what country it is near... maybe talk about Cyrpus because Turkey invaded it. now there are two parts to cyprus and some of it even belongs to the U.K !

Can people with asperges drive?
hi i have asperges and i just wondering that when i grow up will i be able to drive?
oh yeah if you can pass the drivers test, which based on you asking this question shouldn't be a problem. my nephew has aspergers and i'm thrilled to hear from you. if its allright with you i would love to ask YOU a ton of questions. my nephew was recently diagnosed and we're just starting to learn about all this stuff. so, great to hear from you.
Some people with ausbergers can drive. they would have good impulse control, good anger management,an ability to concentrate for long periods, etc.
yes, definitely.
(of course i mean you can drive once you obtain and pass your driving test, that is!)

Is it normal for boys to listen to dima bilan a lot in russia?
i use to be a big fan of dima bilan a lot but i found out that he is the russian version of justin timberlake and i use to listen to him a lot too and people made fun of me for that but then that was when he was in NSYNC now listening to justin is normal but i think dima bilan is like the old justin which is why im wondering
Well I will try to explain why Russian guys think so. They dislike all pop music including Bilan.
The reason is that a fan associate himself with the idol. The mentality of Russian guys can not allow to have idol who sings pop music, because:
1. They use makeup like a girls or gays
2. Many of them use the phonogram because they do not have vocal abilities, they just do not know how to sing.
3. Many of them are sick stellar disease, believe that they are better than others, although in fact they are sh*t.
4. Also, most of their fans are crazy girls, guys can not be like them.
That is why many of Russian guys are fans of rock bands.
Is it normal for boys to listen to dima bilan a lot in russia?
To think that it is not normal could people that is crazy fans of other style of music or if they dislike pop music.
People that aren't fans and just listen music that they like think, probably, that is normal to listen all that you want.
Hmmm...do you love him?In Russia all hates him:D

What are some fun things to do/good places to stay in Boston?
My boyfriend and I are going for the first time for a few days. What are some fun things we could do there? I've heard there are some haunted tours.
Also, does anyone know a reasonable priced hotel to stay at that is close the action.
Thank you!
Must-see sights
Faneuil Hall Marketplace
The Freedom Trail (includes Boston Common and the USS Constitution)
Harvard Square (Cambridge)
Take a swan boat ride in the lagoon of Boston Public Garden (mid-April to mid-September)
The Big Dig has made driving in Boston ... well, difficult. Use the opportunity to explore this great city on foot.
Visit nearby Lexington on Patriots?Day (third Monday in April) and see Revolutionary War reenactments.

they can pretty much be any kind of facts, random, funny, interesting, boring (but not too boring). I've already tried wikipedia and wikianswers and google. plz. what if you were someone who needed help with this?!
The Rosetta Stone is a stone with writing on it in two languages, Egyptian and Greek, using three scripts -hieroglyphic, demotic and Greek. The Rosetta Stone is written in three scripts because when it was written, there were three scripts being used in Egypt.
The first was hieroglyphic which was the script used for important or religious documents and detail of hieroglyphic and demotic script on the Rosetta Stone.
The second was demotic which was the common script of Egypt.
The third was Greek which was the language of the rulers of Egypt at that time.
The Rosetta Stone was written in all three scripts so that the priests, government officials and rulers of Egypt could read what it said.
The Rosetta Stone was carved in 196 B.C..
The Rosetta Stone was found in 1799.
The Rosetta Stone was found by French soldiers who were rebuilding a fort in Egypt.
The Rosetta Stone was found in a small village in the Delta called Rosetta -(Rashid).
It is called the Rosetta Stone because it was discovered in a town called Rosetta (Rashid).
The Rosetta Stone is a text written by a group of priests in Egypt to honour the Egyptian pharaoh. It lists all of the things that the pharaoh has done that are good for the priests and the people of Egypt.
Many people worked on deciphering hieroglyphs over several hundred years. However, the structure of the script was very difficult to work out.
After many years of studying the Rosetta Stone and other examples of ancient Egyptian writing, Jean-Franois Champollion deciphered hieroglyphs in 1822.
Champollion could read both Greek and coptic.
He was able to figure out what the seven demotic signs in coptic were. By looking at how these signs were used in coptic he was able to work out what they stood for. Then he began tracing these demotic signs back to hieroglyphic signs.
By working out what some hieroglyphs stood for, he could make educated guesses about what the other hieroglyphs stood for.
Well as far as I know, the Rosetta Stone was the discovery which helped archaeologists decipher the texts of the ancient Egyptians. So, I guess it was important in that it allowed us to translate previously unknown hieroglyphic writings. This has obviously been vital in understanding the ancient Egyptians culture
it was like a big black slab that had all the languages on it. now there's a bunch of really shitty language software named after it. It's just one of those things you learn but that you never need to know later in life ever.

Can you clarify this Filipino superstition?
Is it true that an only child is more likely to be an idiot savant?
And do I have to define to you what superstition means? You have no idea what you're talking about, do you?
Unlikely.
I have known many individuals(friends,classmates,lolo...) who are the only child in their family. And none of them is an idiot savant as far as I know. Being an only child, I'll take myself as an example. Nothing's extraordinary with my skills and most importantly I don't have any mental defects.
As what you've said, it's only a Filipino superstition.
Err...I've actually never heard of that superstition before, even in school. But I don't think so.
But I shall never know too, since none of my family members is an only child. My classmate is, but she's not an idiot savant, thank God. But I can name a few who are, but they're not an only child.
There's no such superstition in the Philippines. Savantism was never associated with birth order nor in not having any siblings. Likewise identification or labelling of savants are very recent hence it does not make sense to already have a superstition about it.
If there's one, it wouldn't be called superstition. An unproven allegation or belief would be a more appropriate term. And I haven't heard any such belief.
Yes, please clarify for this ignorant foreigner.
no there is no such superstition.... but there is an old wives' tale that if u have a child late in age... u indeed might have one... which by the way may have some scientific explanation behind it
Never heard of before. But they always say the only child is a spoiled one or a lonely one.

Can I be Top Contributor at Level 1?
Probably not. I don%26#039;t think so. I think you have to make Level 2 or 3.
you need more than 10% of your best answers percentage on any category EXCEPT Polls %26amp; Surveys (the badge is immune to that category and there is NO top contributors on that category). Like 40-50 best answers on one or more category in 30 days can get you there.
A few details more details of how to get the Top Contributor badge. you need to maintain 100-200 points a week (total combination of best answers and active contribution). you can get on Monday Morning if you are eligible to get it. it does not depend on the level, points or the Total best answers you have. once you have it, you need to remain active since the badge is NOT permanent, so you lose it or gain it either way. also, we don%26#039;t know the actual calculated amount to get the Top Contributor badge, only the Yamster knows the calculated amount.
edit- lol sorry i was answering 2 Top Contributor questions at the same time and forget to edit.
I wouldn%26#039;t let you on top even if you fixed that ridiculous haircut.
Not on Level 1. At least I haven%26#039;t seen any TC%26#039;s on Level 1
Ahahaha! You would still be stuck with 1 BA if u were not the lone answerer to my question. :D
what for?
you can%26#039;t even exchange it for cash.

Need a place to vacation close to Long Island NY?
I'm from Long Island. My boyfriend and I are looking to go away for a few days but we don't want to go very far.
Does anyone know any places in either upstate New York or any surrounding states that offer outdoor activities and reasonable hotel prices?
Atlantic City isn't too bad - for outdoor activities, you'd definitely have to wait until it's warmer than it's been recently since it's all on the beach.
The Poconos in upstate New York is kind of fun - I'm not sure if they still have snow, but there's camping for the warm months, and skiing for colder months. They have cabin rentals and a few reasonably priced "resorts." April or May would be a good time to go - it's sort of still considered the off season. I haven't been since February, but it's a good time, secluded if you want to be alone, but lots of social stuff available, as well.
You could also take a bus or train ride, or just drive, up to Massachusetts - visit either Boston or to Cape cod. I've done it with my friends a few times, it can be fun. Boston's still a city, but much smaller and quieter than New York, so it can offer a good place to just get away for a few days (but not to live - I lived for about a year during my freshman year in college and it was horrible, lol) - it's only a four hour drive, so you can do it in a weekend. They have lots of outdoor stuff, museums, nice restaurants, and its not too expensive. Cape Cod reminds me of Long Island, to be honest, a big strip of mostly beaches, hiking, etc.
Hope this helps!

People who live in Los Angeles/San Fernando Valley!?
I wanted to know when my letter would arrive at Riverside,CA.
I sent it today in the morning at like 7am.
I live in Sherman Oaks,CA so when will the letter get there. Around what time..?
Thanks!
it will get there tomorrow or Friday
It will be there in a couple of days. It will arrive when the mail carrier delivers it. As we all know that depends on the mail carrier and varies from day to day.
First class mail should arrive tomorrow. However, it really depends on what time they deliver to the residence or business in Riverside.
It can get there the next day. Due to the internet, mail delivery gets to places pretty quick now. Of course, that's bad news for postal workers.
I think about 3 days, not sure what time probably whenever the mail arrives.
3 days r u serious!! it should be there tommarow if not the next day

Do you like the Saint Louis Arch?

How much spending money for Amsterdam?
I already have my plane ticket, and my sister lives just 12 miles away, so I'll be staying with her. We'll probably be in Amsterdam a few times, maybe 3 days or so? We won't be smoking or going to the red light district. I'll just need money for shopping, traveling expenses, and when we eat out.
I'll be there for a week by the way. I just want a ballpark. Im thinking about $800?
That's approx ?593 for 3 days you should be fine as long as you keep your shopping in check and if go out for your meals paying for yourself.
When there I keep a ?200 a day to shop, travel budget and do fine & return with money most times doing just what your going to do.
Have fun
hey invest in the "I AMsterdam" card it works for 72 hours. and you get free tram, bus, the best way to travel in amsterdam...
im not a spammer i know i went there this year
Why don't you use your credit card as much as you can and don't take much cash....800 is fine...you can always bring it home but with a credit card you will need much less.

Which parts of New Jersey or Connecticut could I live in where I can easily commute to Manhattan for work?
I live in Denton, TX, which is in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, & I hate it here, & I'm sick & tired of it. I'm thinking about moving this summer.
Anywhere along the Northeast Corridor train line is a quick, easy commute. Raritan Valley Line has nice places, and is an easy commute, as well. I live in Edison, NJ and It only takes about 35 mins to take the train From Metropark or Metuchen station (If it is an express train, it's faster and many trains are express between Metropark and Penn Station).
As per the answer above, check out all the stops on New Jersey Transit for the easiest ways to get to Manhattan via public transportation. For Westchester County and Connecticut, you can look at Metro North, or you can go to www.hopstop.com and click on New York City, New Jersey, or Metro North and find estimated travel times, routes, schedules, etc. from various locations in Northern New Jersey and anything south of New Haven, CT.
If I had to personally recommend where to live, it would be neither of these places - NJ is a bit far, as is CT, and the prices aren't much lower than if you were to live in Brooklyn or Queens. Look into areas of Brooklyn like Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Brighton Beach, Flatbush, and Midwood - all affordable, moreso than even some areas of NJ and CT, and closer. As for Queens, you are even closer to the more accessible areas of Manhattan (i.e., midtown and uptown are VERY close, in comparison to areas of Brooklyn being a good 40 minute ride to downtown Manhattan) and I would look into Long Island City, Astoria, Kew Gardens, Rego Park, and Forest Hills. LI City and Astoria are closer to Manhattan but more expensive as a result, though many young people and college students live here, but Forest Hills and the surrounding neighborhoods are really safe, inexpensive and fun.
for NJ, check out www.njtransit.com. That is where all of the train and bus stops are located.
Anywhere along the Northeast Corridor train line is a quick, easy commute. Raritan Valley Line has nice places, and is an easy commute, as well. I live in Edison, NJ and It only takes about 35 mins to take the train From Metropark or Metuchen station (If it is an express train, it's faster and many trains are express between Metropark and Penn Station).
As per the answer above, check out all the stops on New Jersey Transit for the easiest ways to get to Manhattan via public transportation. For Westchester County and Connecticut, you can look at Metro North, or you can go to www.hopstop.com and click on New York City, New Jersey, or Metro North and find estimated travel times, routes, schedules, etc. from various locations in Northern New Jersey and anything south of New Haven, CT.

Who here likes to bring their own pillow(s) when going on a vacation?
I am going on my second cruise in a few weeks, and I was thinking of bringing my two pillows from my place. I dislike that it will be extra baggage for me to carry. However, if it's worth it, I'm all for it.
Anyhow, I was just curious to know if anyone else packs their personal pillows with them when they travel, and what their thoughts were.
Thanks for reading.
i bring my own. i put them in those bags that you sick the air out of. then you can just pack them and they take up no room...
I used to do that...took my pillow to Paris and to Germany...as I got older I got tired of carrying extra stuff, so the pillow went, but I still bring my soft blanket...it's a throw really, so not so big, but it still comes with me.
If you are having a good time you will be so tired that you will not notice the difference.
And I thought the Kitchen sink was the ultimate take with you..
You sound American. I am making a mental note not to go there, the pillows must be dreadful
LOL I have never been that attached to my pillow, but I brought along my baby blanket for like 30 years before I broke myself of it. It's all shredded up anyway.
Unless I'm flying, I take mine.

Does anyone have an email address for EMS International shipping in China?
I'm in the US and can only find a phone number on their web page. I have a shipping issue that I need to have them address but really not finding a way to contact them. -Thanks!
When I need some email addresses of various EMS offices worldwide that I could not find on the web, I ask this lady from Singapore. She's the Customer Service Manager of Singapore EMS and she's very helpful in searching email addresses that are often not posted on the websites. Just ask her nicely, she'll be very helpful.
You may write her an email, and ask if they could help provide the email address of China EMS sinems@singpost.com (Singapore Post). Her name is Mdm. Chan.

I have a question about Christ.?
Most weterners are Christians?What percentage of them were Christians? It is a wise decision that a chinese who has no ideas of christ will marry a chritian? Once, I had contact with a girl following christ. but what she said made me be pretty confused.
There is nothing wrong with a Chinese person dating a Christian. Do you ask her about her religion, or does she talk about it on her own?
Really, whether or not it%26#039;s a good idea depends on the two of you. You need to know more about her and consider some things about yourself:
-Is she willing to date a guy who is NOT Christian and refuses to become one?
-If she is NOT willing to date a guy who is not Christian, are you willing to convert to Christianity?
-If she IS willing to be with a non-Christian, do YOU mind being with a Christian? Do her beliefs bother you or can you accept her?
There are many issues that may come up, but it depends a lot on the two of you and your relationship. I don%26#039;t know how your conversations go, so I can%26#039;t say much more.
Unfortunately not all westerners are Christians. Maybe you are willing to be a Christian??

Is the NorthLake area of Atlanta safe?
we're planning on visiting attractions downtown and stone mountain. this area seems to be right in the middle.
is it safe?
Safe and busy. You'll be by Northlake mall and there are a lot of shopping plazas.
Yes, it is safe but I don know why you want to stay there. It boring. It a giant suburb with a mall, Best Buy and Target. That about it.
You should stay somewhere around North Druid Hills instead. It safe and you go get 85 to go downtown and aren too far from Stone Mountain, either.

Where is the best area to be in for a tourist to experience the best of manila
Got to be Makati.
1. Go to Intramuros in the city of manila which is rich in heritage and history.
2. Go to Mall of Asia and eat in the seafood market (look for san miguel by the bay) and experience seafood grills and enjoy the Manila bay view.
3. Visit Luneta park.
Honestly, there's nothing to see in Manila. Manila is more of a business district rather than a tourist destination. I would suggest going to Ilocos (Ilocandia) which is very rich in culture or Baguio which is 7 hours travel from manila. Manila is just pollution and fast paced lifestyle.
You could go to different nightclubs/dance clubs/KTVs around Makati, Ortigas and Quezon City. The ones in Manila are oftentimes seedy, especially in the Ermita area where there are a lot of callgirls.
Manila obviously
i suggest you go to baguio or palawan..... its far from manila but you won't regret it
you mean red light districts ? ask the cops.

Temporary work in Greece?
This summer I would like to work in Greece for six weeks. Although I would love to work longer, I am going into service with the US Air Force on July 19, so I can only be there from mid may to the early part of June. Does anyone know where I could find some work under the table? I lived there last year, so I know a little bit of the language, and I still have a student visa, but it expires in April. Should I renew my student visa and will that increase my chances of getting work, or just let it expire and get the normal 3 month Schnegen visa? I am willing to do just about anything, so if you have ANY tips or leads, that would be great.
If you have the possibility to renew your student visa, do so. Having a student visa permits you to LEGALLY work part-time. This way at least you'll have work permission, so 1) you're much more likely to be hired and 2) if the police swing by and do a document check, you'll have documents, and you can just lie and say you work part-time - it'd be virtually impossible for the police to prove otherwise.
As you are probably aware - since you mention working under the table - on the regular 3-month (90 days, actually) deal, you aren't allowed to legally work. And since you lived here before, I'm sure you understand how it's becoming virtually impossible to find illegal work here thanks to the ever increasing police checks.
Even with papers, it'll be somewhat difficult (though certainly not impossible) to find someone willing to hire you for such a short period. I suppose you could just lie to them, telling them you'll work the whole season then just bail on them when you need to leave. Personally I couldn't do that, I'd feel too guilty, but to each his own.
So, as for a lead, I don't have any, sorry. However, there was an American girl who posted a question here a month or so ago, and she stated that she had worked illegally here last summer. She didn't say where she worked exactly, but if you're able to find her question in the resolved questions section (assuming it wasn't deleted) you could contact her and maybe she could give you some ideas.
girl go to greece!
its AMAZING!

I plan to travel by car from Tijuana to Guadalajara.?
Does anyone know the Roads or a safe route to take to get there? Please help.
That trip is 2,238 kilometers (1390 miles); a total of 23 hours driving time and 1,543 pesos ($103) in tolls.
Take Hwy. 2 east until it connects to Hwy. 15 at Santa Ana. Then follow Hwy 15 south through:
Hermosillo
Guaymas
Ciudad Obregon
Navojoa
Los Mochis
Culiacan
Mazatlan
Tepic
Guadalajara
It's safer with somebody else in the car to help read signs and watch for speed bumps.
Yes,
The way the person before me answered is correct. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE SOMEONE ELSE FOR SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AS WELL.
Also, don't forget to have the right currency because in all toll booths they have a sign that saids, "NO DOLLARS."

They used to have a ton on their site, for almost every park!

Probally a security measure.
Maybe girls were flashing them.
