September 15[edit]

Dancing to Jelly Roll Morton[edit]

I love Jelly Roll Morton, and would really like to know how to dance to his music. I know foxtrot is generally appropriate for ragtime, but is there a type of dancing that is more specific to early New Orleans jazz? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.106.180.134 (talk) 03:31, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Who on earth's the one on the right? The other one's Melo, I know. 202.156.14.246 (talk) 11:29, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like Diego Ribas da Cunha (known as simply Diego) the former Werder Bremen (and now Juventus) player. ny156uk (talk) 19:48, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Theme song[edit]

I'm looking for the lyrics to a theme songs from a tv show from the 90s. I thought the show was Full House, but the lyrics I've found don't match my memory. The lyrics I'm thinking of include the phrase "fresh start over several times a day" and something about "the higher you stand the further you fall". I've googled these, though, so must have remembered them a bit wrong. Ideas?

I think you mean the theme from Step by Step? TheFutureAwaits (talk) 12:36, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

television[edit]

merits and demerits of using television —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.92.5.135 (talk) 12:28, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television. Pepso2 (talk) 12:47, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Marshall McLuhan may also have a lot of good things to say about the subject. --Jayron32 18:10, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This seems like it might be a HW question. besides, we would need context for what the OP means by "using television". Is it using it as a means of advertising? Watching it? Using it as an aquarium? Googlemeister (talk) 18:19, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't even a question, just a sentence fragment. We might assume "What are the" was meant to be inferred at the start, but the OP might have been thinking something else entirely. -- JackofOz (talk) 21:47, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Song Name[edit]

I can't remember the name of this song but it's by a female artist from the late 80s/early 90s and is mostly her singing lyrics such as "not what it seems" and "seems to me". Soft organ in the background I think. Any ideas? TheFutureAwaits (talk) 12:34, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be Salvation (The Cranberries song)?192.30.202.11 (talk) 19:45, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

TI-84 plus[edit]

what are some cool programs I could add to my calculator?Accdude92 (talk) (sign) 13:49, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All the programs will likely be the same temperature while in your calculator. In other words, can you better define "cool"? And also, have you tried Google? Dismas|(talk) 00:50, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Not necessarily, if you have a program that uses a lot of processing power, it'll probably heat the calculator up somewhat. 195.58.125.104 (talk) 09:57, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
