Open Question: How do I use a cell to reference another cell?

I have an two column array that is populated from another page with random intergers. The first column is integers from the other page. The second is a string that descibes the number. Eg. Column A = 1,5,8,0,23,3 and Column B = Edmonton, Ottawa, Chicago, L.A., Texas, Miami. The intergers change based the occurance of city names on the other page which is copied from the internet, and strings never change. From this array I have created a top 10 list that takes the highest 10 numbers from my array and places them in order from highest to lowest in Column D. Now, what I need is a function that can relate an interger in the top ten list in Column D to the corresponding interger in Column A and populate the cell in Column C with the related City. Would be easy except there is the possability that one of the top ten values could be equal to another, therfore producing the identical string for two top tens. I need it to populate the next string if the top ten value is the same. more

Open Question: I just moved to a new city (Austin, Texas) and need to make new friends?

My job brought me here and I know absolutely NO ONE here! I'm realizing now that I have absolutely no idea how to "make" friends. All of my friends at home were made as a result of school / work. And all the friends I've amassed over the years have been a direct or indirect result of someone I met at work or when I was in school. But now I'm in an entirely new region, new state and new city so I'm completely out of my comfort zone and I have absolutely no idea where to begin. I'm really kind of a shy person so this compounds the issue for me. And even though I'm kind of a loner, more introverted, I always had friends around to do things with. But I would rather make friends outside of work as I have learned I have zero in common with them (they're much older and I'm younger, I'm single with no dependents and they're married with families...). And I'm no longer in school so this is not an option for me anymore. I love sports and I would love to see the night life here as I'm told a lot of great things about it but I don't know if that's something I want to do by "myself" for safety reasons, plus it won't be as much fun. Any suggestions on what I can do to jump start making some new friends in Austin? I'm not getting very many responses (one to be exact) in the sections Y! suggested, so I thought I'd try here. Apologies in advance if I'm offending anyone by posting this here. more

Resolved Question: 10 speech true or false questions, 10 points to best answer!?

The closed and constrained throat and vocal chords are absolutely essential to good voice production. true false Dominant pitch-level is the pitch that is heard most often when a person speaks. The pitch dominating in a person's day-by-day speech is called the habitual pitch-level. The natural pitch-level is the dominating pitch which is appropriate and peculiar to the speaker's own vocal mechanisms. true false If a speaker’s pitch-level is naturally high, they should attempt to lower it; if it is naturally very low, they should try and raise it. Changing pitch-level is easily accomplished and will have no lasting effects on the vocal chords. true false Utterance accompanied by gestures of the hands and arms usually has greater variety and force than speech without gestures. true false Utterance that is overdistinct is as unacceptable as indistinct speech. true false The three dialect regions of the United States are: the territory east of the Hudson River, including some parts of New York City and Long Island (Eastern speech); the region south of the Ohio River and Mason Dixon Line, east of the Mississippi and including the eastern portions of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas (Southern speech); the rest of the United States (General American speech, spoken by three-fourths of all Americans). true false The three steps of the gesture cycle are outlining, transition, and conclusion. true false The beginning movement of a gesture is called the preparation stage, because it takes the arm and hand to the point where the meaningful action called the stroke or climax, takes place. true false Gestures that locate objects or indicate directions suggest the size, shape, position, and movement of objects. true false The expository speech aims to influence an audience's attitude toward some person, thing, opinion, or action. true false ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!!I actually found all the answers but thank you so much i will still choose you as best answer! more

Open Question: How to Transport Loveseat from One City to Another?

I am moving from Texas to California to attend Sacramento State in August. My Mom and I are driving two cars out here so I can bring a Custom Made Dollhouse and my TV stand. Since there are only two big pieces, we do not want to have to rent a truck. My grandmother, however, is letting me have her Loveseat so I do not have to buy one of those too. I am wondering about how I could get the loveseat to my apartment. She lives in Bakersfield and I need to get it up to Sacramento, which is a 5 hour drive. I don't want to have to waste money on a truck rental, since I only need to move one thing, but the only Van rentals I have found are not applicable for one way rentals as I would pick it up in Bakersfield and drop it off in Sac. I drive a Nissan Versa and don't know if anyone knows if I would be able to fit a loveseat in the back if I laid down all the seats. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks. more

Open Question: Will Americans let the failed state of Mexico to take us down with them?

While Americans Are Murdered in Mexico, Obama Works on Amnesty! By John Lillpop Although no one in the Obama Administration seems to give a damn, the nation of Mexico continues to decay further and further into anarchy, a tragedy which recently resulted in the murder of innocent Americans affiliated with the U.S. Consulate in this god-forsaken, third-world, failed state. As murder and mayhem rage out of control in Mexico, the likelihood that the carnage will spill over onto America soil increases with each passing day. In fact, incursions across the US border by Mexican military forces have already been reported and are a chilling reminder of why our borders must be secured and fortified militarily. And what are the president of the United States and the US Congress doing while Mexico wages war on our sovereign state? Incredibly enough, our dithering president and his Democrat colleagues in Congress are too busy working on plans to grant amnesty to the 20 million or so invading criminals from Mexico and points south, to concern themselves with defending the homeland. Moreover, misguided yokels like Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano prefer to think of illegal aliens as "newly arrived refuges" rather than criminals who have deliberately violated US borders and immigration laws. In their mindless mania to grow the Democrat Party at any cost, Obama and the Democrats have overlooked a vital fact about illegal aliens currently in America: Namely, should hostilities break out between the US and Mexico over Mexico's inability to control its drug crimes, the loyalties of most illegal aliens will be with Mexico. The notion that Mexican peasants come to America in pursuit of liberty and freedom and to join the American "family" is too ludicrous to stand. Mexicans come to America illegally because our politicians are stupid enough to reward them with free health care, education, employment, food, housing, and, in the most extreme cases, protection from federal immigration authorities. Most invaders have little or no interest in American values, or in "assimilating" into mainstream America, a fact borne out by their universal refusal to learn English. Granting amnesty to illegal aliens will only serve to encourage another 40 million or so to violate our borders and laws. If our president and Congress had any commitment whatsoever to the preservation of American culture and to protecting the American people from harm, the administration would be working to deport invading interlopers back to Mexico. In addition, the Obama administration should seal off the Mexican border with armed forces to protect American interests against drug lords and the corrupt Mexican government. Do it for the children, Mr. President! Mexico Gunmen Kill American Consulate Staff "CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (Reuters) - Gunmen in the drug war-plagued Mexican city of Ciudad Juarez killed two Americans and a Mexican linked to the local U.S. consulate, an attack U.S. President Barack Obama said "outraged" him. "An American woman working at the consulate in Ciudad Juarez, just over the border from El Paso, Texas, and her U.S. husband were fatally shot by suspected drug gang hit men in broad daylight on Saturday as they left a consulate social event, U.S. and Mexican officials told Reuters. "A Mexican man married to another consulate employee was killed around the same time in another part of the city after he and his wife left the same event, a U.S. official said. "The U.S. official, who asked not to be identified, said it was not clear if the victims had been specifically targeted, and the motive for the attacks was unknown. "Bloodshed has exploded in recent months in Ciudad Juarez as the head of the Juarez cartel, Vicente Carrillo Fuentes, fights off a bloody offensive by Mexico's No. 1 fugitive drug lord, Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, at the worst hotspot of Mexico's three-year-old drug war. "The president is deeply saddened and outraged by the news," said White House National Security Council spokesman Mike Hammer. He said Obama 'shares in the outrage of the Mexican people at the murders of thousands in Ciudad Juarez and elsewhere in Mexico.' "The U.S. State Department updated its warning on travel to Mexico to say it had authorized the departure of dependents of U.S. government personnel from consulates in Ciudad Juarez and five other northern border cities." "Nearly 19,000 people have been killed since President Felipe Calderon came to power in Mexico in late 2006 and launched a military assault on the country's powerful drug cartels, sparking a urge in violence that has alarmed Washington, foreign investors and tourists." Mexican Helicopter over Texas "BROWNSVILLE - The Zapata County sheriff Thursday was questioning why a Mexican military helicopter was hovering over homes on the Texas side of the Rio Grande. "It was one of the more jarring incidents of the fourth week of border tensions sparked by drug killinkillings - and rumors of drug killings - in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. "Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez said he'd reviewed photos of the chopper flown by armed personnel Tuesday over a residential area known as Falcon Heights-Falcon Village near the binational Falcon Lake, just south of the Starr-Zapata county line. He said the helicopter appeared to have the insignia of the Mexican navy. "It's always been said that the Mexican military does in fact ... that there have been incursions," Gonzalez said. "But this is not New Mexico or Arizona. Here we've got a river, there's a boundary line. And then of course having Falcon Lake, Falcon Dam, it's a lot wider. It's not just a trickle of a river, it's an actual dam. You know where the boundary's at." "The sighting came amid ongoing fighting between the Gulf Cartel and its former enforcers, Los Zetas. The mounting death toll and crisis of fear in cities opposite the Texas border have drawn global attention, as has a news blackout in more

Open Question: Do you agree with minutemen US gov't should send Army Airborne Rangers into Mexico to fight cartels?

EL PASO, Texas - Citing the escalating drug war in Juarez and other Mexican border cities, the founder of the Minuteman Project is suggesting the U.S. government deploy the U.S. Army Airborne Rangers into Mexico to fight the drug cartels, according to a news release from the Minuteman Project. The Minuteman Project is made up of private citizens in the U.S. who monitor the U.S.-Mexico border for the flow of illegal immigrants. "It is outrageous to think so many anti-war liberals complain about the 3,480 deaths in Iraq since March 2003, but conveniently say nothing about the suffering which stains Mexico. Deaths in Mexico as the result of the out of control Drug War have topped well over 20,000 since 2006." Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist said in the news release. "Do you mean to tell me the lives of women, children and the good families in Mexico don't count? The victims are human beings, families trying to live in peace, but it seems the U.S. political establishment has turned a blind eye to their suffering. Well, the Minutemen haven't!" Gilchrist said it is time to give Mexico an ultimatum. "Either terminate the criminal empires that influence your nation, and threaten to cripple the United States, or risk the incursion of U.S. soldiers to do the job for you," Gilchrist said. "The stage is set because our Congress refuses to enforce our immigration laws; therefore we are left with few choices. I am suggesting certain elements from the Army's three major Airborne divisions be deployed into Mexico. Any incursions, however, should be swift and decisive, with surgical precision aimed directly at the geographic locations of the drug cartels and the persons running them." http://www.kvia.com/Global/story.asp?S=12152252 more

Resolved Question: Is it a joke why do people think hispanics and latin are the same thing?

Latin? Hispanic? What's the difference? Actually Latino and Hispanic are not synonymous. The word "Latin" comes to us from a tribe in early Italy called the Latins. The Latins lived in Latium whose capital city was Rome. Their language was called Latin. According to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, as Rome's Empire grew their language, Latin, spread throughout the Roman Empire later evolving into several "Romance" languages; Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. People from these countries are referred to as Latin, their language is derived from "Latin". These languages are very similar as explained by Dr. Lorenzo LaFarelle, a Chicano Studies professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, the word for cave in Spanish is "cueva", in Portuguese is "cova", in Italian is "cava". http://www.elboricua.com/latino_hispanic.html This is just a source I found that I though accurately explains the difference. more

Did anybody else American Gov consulate were killed in a drug-plagued Mexican city Oabma outraged Is this what it takes to finally get this administration’s attention?CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico — Three people with ties to the American consulate were killed in a drug-plagued Mexican city, including a U.S. couple shot to death within sight of the border with their baby in their back seat, officials said Sunday. President Barack Obama expressed outrage over the killings, and Mexican President Felipe Calderon promised a swift investigation. Several U.S. citizens have been killed in Mexico’s drug war, most of them people with family ties to Mexico. However, it is rare for American government employees to be targeted. The three died during a particularly bloody weekend in Mexico, with nearly 50 people killed in apparent drug-gang violence. Nine people were killed in a gang shootout early Sunday in the Pacific resort city of Acapulco, one of Mexico’s spring break attractions. The U.S. consulate employee and her husband were shot to death Saturday in their car near the Santa Fe International bridge linking Ciudad Juarez with El Paso, Texas, said Vladimir Tuexi, a spokesman for Chihuahua state prosecutors’ office. Their baby was found unharmed in the back seat. Tuexi estimated the child was about 1 year old. Killed were consular employee Lesley A. Enriquez, 35, and her husband, Arthur H. Redelfs, 34, according to Robert Cason, Redelfs’ stepfather. Redelfs was a detention officer with the El Paso County Jail, Cason said. He declined to discuss the welfare of his grandchild. “I don’t want to give any more information to the psychotics out there,” he said. Tuexi said the baby was in the custody of Mexican social services. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/nation/6912857.html more

Resolved Question: Does anyone with a brain care to answer for a quick 10 points?

So i recently read an article about the 2010 census in california! Its saying that basically us mexicans and minorities are rapidly becoming the majority. There were so many racist comments floating around out there especially from Caucasian people. Basically saying "what are mexicans good for other then mowing our lawns and cooking our fast food" One guy even said "as long as they can say with paper or plastic in english it doesn't bother me" I mean come on are people really that racist. I understand that there is a high amount of illegal immigrants flocking towards our borders and then jumping on the welfare system but mexicans are not the only race doing so. So why are we being targeted? its like we have become the face of the welfare system in california and i think that just not right. Then you have them saying how were over crowding and taking over the cities by our woman birthing 3 babies compared to a white woman who only produce 2 on average. I mean before 1492 when columbus sailed the ocean blue Where the hell do they think mexican lived? I mean obviously we lived in the land surrounding present day mexico ie: texas, new mexico, california etc etc. What do they think that we stayed in our chili pepper shaped country we had to have migrated out of there and set up establishments miles and miles away. So technically wouldn't it have been the europeans who over crowded what was technically ours first? I don't know any thoughts people???? more

Resolved Question: Why is the Ft Hood shooter being called a TERRORIST but not the guy who crashed his plane into the...?

IRS building in Texas? Is it because the Ft Hood shooter was Muslim and the guy who crashed his plane into that building was WHITE? Same thing with the Oklahoma City bomber that killed hundreds of people but since he is white, he cant be labeled as a terrorist? You cant be white AND be a TERRORIST, Only Muslims can be terrorists?

Resolved Question: Why do people perceive Liberals as dumb hippies?

Because that is clearly not true. I go to American University in DC and I’d say most of the students here support Barack Obama. And if you look at the election results from, towns and cities with Universities, they voted for Barack Obama. Even the University of North Carolina, they're out in Republican country but 72% of the students voted for Obama. Same with other Universities through out the south-Texas, Kentucky, Texas A&M, Duke, Vanderbilt, etc. etc. Also, every single Ivy League school supported Obama this past election ;). So the Republicans can downgrade all they want, but it's just another one of their desperate attempts to pull themselves up.Hahaha people are STILL doing excatly what I'm talking about! Haha, keep it up guys! :)O man I never knew republicans were this pathetic! You Republicans persist to demote the superior people, with superior knowledge! You guys never cease to entertain me! Keep it going, please! more

Open Question: I'm visiting Austin in May...places to go/avoid, what to eat/drink, how long should I stay?

I'm from Toronto and I plan to visit Austin, Texas during my trip to the U.S. Wow, I was looking at cities in Texas and didn't realize how cool the city of Austin was! I'm mainly going to Texas to visit my uncle, but I have to visit Austin because it looks so awesome. Some questions I have: 1) How long should I stay in Austin? Right now, I think I can see most things in 3 days, but what's a good amount of time? 2) How's the public transit in Austin? I figure since a large part of the population is college students, public transit would be good. Is this true? 3) What are some of best venues to hear live music? 4) What kind of merchandise does Austin have? I plan to buy some T-shirts and misc. stuff saying, "Keep Austin weird." more

Resolved Question: Is the American education system being manipulated by the religious right?

Not that the public school system was exceptional to begin with, but: Textbook selection in Texas that reflects right-wing religious beliefs. Closing almost 50 percent of public schools in Kansas City, MO. Kansas City, KS still looking to incorporate creationism into classrooms. *sigh* perhaps I'm becoming a "conspiracy theorist"...(((Midge))) Always a delight... more

Resolved Question: What cruise do you recommend?

Ok so we've been on 2 cruise and have 2 planned: Carnival Pride (7 day Mexican riviera) Carnival Paradise (Catalina Island, Ensenada) Carnival Splendor for 2010 (same itinerary done on the Pride) Carnival Spirit for 2011 (on one of the last 8 day Mexico itineraries) After that we have no clue what to do. my parents don't want to travel to Texas (living in California, that's a long drive) so cruises out of Galveston to Conzumel are out. they only want to go to Mexico so Hawaii and Alaska are out. they only want closed loop cruises so Panama canal ones are out. So closed loop cruise to Mexico out of San Francisco, Los Angeles, or San Diego. that's not the traditional Mexican riviera, not the Ensenada/Catalina island, and not the 8 day Mexico ones Is that even possible? is there anything left? or should we wait and hope some other cruise line opens something up? I know there are 9-11 day cruises that hit multiple cities in Mexico (like a 7 day and 8 day cruise mix into 1) but is there anything beyond that? more

Voting Question: Spirit Week Themes Please?

Okay, so my spirit week just passed. :( And my friend & I want to be dance captains next year. But we need to come up with a fool proof theme. We do it like this: -There is one overall theme (this year was cities) -Each year & faculty gets a city (Los Angelos, New York, Miami, Chicago, & Texas) -Each year also gets a hallway to decorate for their city (while incorporating the other years' cities too- for all inclusiveness) -Each year has to make up a dance with songs having to do with their theme (L.A.- Hollywood Swing, Party in the USA, Beverly Hills, Bounce, etc.) -We can be as creative as we want, using props and doing little skits. (L.A.- People dressed up as celebrities & lip synced and whatnot. There was a hollywood sign, etc.) -Each year must make a step & cheer to their theme. -A Tshirt is designed by a student for their theme. (Judged on best design & most sales). Obviously, I had L.A. this year. But I want a really good theme for next year. Can anyone help? more

Resolved Question: How would you describe my life style?

Im white and blonde and live in an apartment. I always wear suits even when its nothing special. I go to the University Of Texas at Austin. When im relaxing I go to star bucks or stay and relax on my balcony and look at the city. I also golf and study mostly. What is my life style?I also hang out with friends and do random stuff.XD No I spend 20 min on face book when bored. I don't watch MTV. Im not a mac. I actually do have an Iphone, but it was a christmas gift in which I have not payed for apps nor have I even updated that thing. XD I really was not the popular type in middle or high school. Im not exactly the dumb blonde fad follower. XD more

Resolved Question: Should I move to LA or Portland Oregon?

So I'm in a weird situation where I don't know where to move. So maybe some input from total strangers would help. I'm 23, recently graduated from college with a BA in Radio/TV/Film. I live in Texas now (north), grew up in the south part. So I'm pretty worn out on Texas. Don't hate the state but ready for a change. So within this last year i went to visit some friends on the west coast in LA and Portland. I fell in love with Portland. I loved almost everything about it. It's a great city, I thought. It had my type of atmosphere and surroundings. However, there really isn't a strong market for the entertainment industry which is what I'm wanting to go in. Not acting, but writing, behind the camera kind of stuff. So in order to do that stuff, obvious choice would go to LA. Now with LA, while I didn't hate the place, I wasn't blown away with it either. A lot of it was dirty,whatmed full of people, kind of sleazy. But it's LA, what did I expect? Either way, I'm a little hesitant to move there. I love movies and LA does have that going for it. So should I just suck it up and go to LA or give in and go to Portland? more
