Dancing to Jelly Roll Morton
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)
 * jazz dance may contain some appropriate ones. 75.41.110.200 (talk) 04:15, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

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)

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)

Theme song
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)

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


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


 * See also Wasteland Speech and Newton N. Minow. -- Jayron  32  18:08, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Marshall McLuhan may also have a lot of good things to say about the subject. -- Jayron  32  18:10, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * 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)


 * 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)

Song Name
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)
 * Would it be Salvation (The Cranberries song)?192.30.202.11 (talk) 19:45, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

TI-84 plus
what are some cool programs I could add to my calculator?Accdude92 (talk) (sign) 13:49, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * 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)
