What do you think about 2012?

None of that "normal" crap is gonna happen. I have two words for you, my friends, ZOMBIE. APOCALYPSE!

Tank mates for Zebra Danios?

I'm going to get some tank mates for my zebra danios soon, but I'm unsure what to get. I have a 20 gallon freshwater aquarium with 5 zebra danios already. I want some fish that stay about in the middle of the tank, because my zebra danios seem to like the upper and the middle regions of the tank. I heard that some fish can't handle how active the Danios are and get stressed out, so I'm a little worried about that. Please don't suggest Cory Cats, I love them, but not for this tank in particular. Thanks in advance! All suggestions are loved and welcomed!

Parks/leisure Facilities Management Major?

What are some jobs someone can get with this major? Preferably outdoors and in the western region of the country

Is it possible for me to throw 180 in the discus?

I'm a 17 year old senior who is going to be throwing in college at this point. I am 6'1" and anround 240 lb, but im trying to lose fat and replace it with muscle. Around 220 is my goal for weight. I threw 140 sophomore year (when i was still 15) but i havent improved much since. I throw 140s-150s pretty consistently, but at my last meet i opened up with a 163 footer that i toe fouled :/ (they measured it anyways though, just didnt count it). Even though my season is over, I am still going to work with my coach and throw, and my goal is to be at around 170 consistently, hopefully 180 before the summer is out. However I need some guidance in order to do that, and my coach doesnt have too many answers. Can i have some tips for lifts i should do? I want to heavily increase my explosive strength, especially my "pull" in the discus throw. Also any tips for form would be welcome. My consistent problems seem to be that I come off a very narrow base, my disc doesnt have a whole lot of flight or height for that matter, and although my steps for the spin are pretty consistently good, I dont really "attack" the throw at the end, and as a result my throws dont have as much velocity as I'd like. I would REALLY REALLY REALLY love some constructive tips/guidance on how to achieve this goal. Any experts on the matter are welcome. Thanks!

Why did people enjoy Borderlands?

I'm not trying to insult anyone that actually enjoyed this game nor am I trying to insult its producers, it was just hard for me to get into it for more than an hour at a time. For starters, what was up with the graphics? I suppose they tried to make it look like a comic book or something to add to its comedic nature, it just didn't seem like a good idea to me though. Secondly, the plot. Aside from the fact that throughout the game you're playing in a region that you have practically no knowledge of regarding its history (thus making it difficult to embrace) your entire game experience consists of you being manipulated by a satellite and going after a vault that you know nothing about: the fact that there was a monster in it was also a horrible let down. Thirdly, aside from quests, was there really anything to do? I enjoyed Fallout because, while there are plenty of quests, they don't restrict you to doing them constantly nor do they restrict you to confined and segregated areas; it actually allowed you to explore a vast area, not just dinky villages. Fourth, the mixing of genres. To me, this game was an amalgamation of an FPS with a bit of dark comedy with just a tad of RPG mixed in; they would have been better off just keeping it as an RPG in my opinion. Not that this is a major issue, but the fact that everywhere you went there was porn was incredibly distracting to me. Also, why were vehicles even needed? If anything I believe Fallout should have had vehicles to get around in, it's not like there are many open areas in this game that require extensive navigating. The only good thing I found about this game were the character abilities: most of the weapons were certainly nothing special.

Calc question with area of region under graph?

The question I have is "Find the area of the region under the graph of the function f(x)=1/x^2 dx on the interval [1,4]. I'm at the part where its [x^-1/-1] with 4 at the top right outside and 1 at the bottom right outside. The next step equals [-1/x] with 4 at the top right outside and 1 at the bottom right outside. this sounds soo stupid but how did we go from [x^-1/-1] to [-1/x]?

Is this dirks year ?

After the way they handled the Lakers , I think they can definitely win it all. They are deep and had a bunch of different guys step up in the last series. Dirk is still playing lights out and if they can ride that momentum , they are going to be tough to beat.
