Did the Obama campaign ever release information on where their campaign contributions came from?
I remember people wanting to see the figures on paper but never could find it myself. Anyone know if this information is released? I've heard many people claim of different places that the money came from but I don't know what is true.Did the Obama campaign ever release information on where their campaign contributions came from?No!
They spent close to $750MILLION and have only accounted for $300 Million!
MOST of that excess came from foreign donations!

Actually, the paper here in St. Louis released names, organizations, and dollar amounts in late summer/early fall. They did this for both candidates for the major parties.

No he did not. They were all shredded, all I know is he got more in foreign donations, and millions , each the limit that could be donated in gift cards from people like donald duck, goody and a lot of other silly names. I am not lying or joking, and I would be willing to bet that Oprah was behind this caper, so she could end up donating millions and not get caught.

How do I go about getting information on homeschooling my child?
My daughter is only 2 but I'm trying to get information on homeschooling for when she starts school. I wouldn't be the one to teach her so how do I go about getting info on this? I am really interested in learning more about this and who do I speak to about a teacher doing this for her?How do I go about getting information on homeschooling my child?Wow, the state Dept of Education will try to convince you that you'll ruin your child through homeschooling and give you dire warnings about it, LOL!
Be sure to look up the homeschooling laws in your state...each state gets to decide their education laws, so what works for you in Ohio is gonna change once you move to Georgia or for your buddy in Michigan.
The next thing to realize is that there's a whole spectrum of what's called "homeschool." Some people sign up with an online version of public school; that’s really technically not “homeschool,” since you're counted as public school student and you have to have regular contact with teachers, submit work and tests, etc. The dirty little secret here is that the school district gets to keep the federal funds for you, as you’re a public school student this way. (Quite obviously, your school district will like this option best. Often when one queries the school as to the options available for “homeschool,” the school administrators will smile sweetly and mention just such an arrangement, conveniently omitting the rest of your options. This “lie by omission” quietly implies that this is the one and only way “homeschooling is done.” There’s a quite a debate in the homeschooling community about whether or not this constitutes an effort by the educational bureaucracy to redefine the meaning of homeschool, and what effect that would have on legislation and regulation of more traditional homeschool. But I digress.)
Other people may choose to buy materials from companies and enroll with online schools, but they're "independent" of the school districts, and they don't owe anyone a darned thing...their test scores (if any; few homeschoolers in the traditional sense are obligated to take state standardized tests) are their own business, as is the pace, order or depth at which they choose to go through the material.
Other people make up their own curriculum, based on their own personal criteria. Some states want you to keep a portfolio of material to prove you're doing something there at home, other states want you to submit your curriculum for the year for approval, others may require testing that could send you back to public or private school if you fall below a particular percentile...just in case. Again, depends on the state.
Still other people endorse what they call "unschooling," and they throw out all books and tests altogether and simply follow what interests them. (See the writings of John Holt, or Google "unschooling" for more on that theory of education.) A good book for anyone over 12 years old is “The Teenage Liberation Handbook: How to Quit School and Get a Real Life and Education,” by Grace Llewellyn. Here’s an excerpt:
"Did your guidance counselor ever tell you to consider quitting school? That you have other choices, quite beyond lifelong hamburger flipping or inner-city crack dealing? That legally you can find a way out of school, that once you're out you'll learn and grow better, faster, and more naturally than you ever did in school, that there are zillions of alternatives, that you can quit school and still go to A Good College and even have a Real Life in the Suburbs if you so desire? Just in case your counselor never told you these things, I'm going to. That's what this book is for."
Even if you don’t hold with what the author has to say, the point of view she has is dramatically different and can be a great springboard to help you get in touch with what you believe school and learning should be like. As with many things, there’s a wide spectrum of “unschoolers,” as well. Many of them have a certain set of concepts they want their kids to get and don’t care HOW they get the information, while others take a much more laid-back approach and allow the student to set the list of concepts themselves...or not set one at all. All of these people will still consider themselves “unschoolers.”How do I go about getting information on homeschooling my child?
Go to http://homeschooling.gomilpitas.com and you will get a ton of info on the subject. Also, I would look into finding a local homeschool support group or co-op in your area. They are usually a wonderful source of information.How do I go about getting information on homeschooling my child?Who is going to teach her if not you? Her father? Or are you rich enough to afford a private tutor? Even if you take an online schooling option, she'll still need encouragement and guidance from a real life adult.How do I go about getting information on homeschooling my child?

What is some useless but interesting information about the oboe?
I'm doing a project in one of my classes about the oboe and question #10 ask What is some useless information about the oboe and I was just wondering if you could help me out?What is some useless but interesting information about the oboe?Hey Ashley,
Haha. This question made me laugh. (I am an oboe player). I can give you some useless information.
For one thing, you can play "Mary Had a Little Lamb" just on the reed by itself.
Oboes often get confused with "hobo" and "elbow". When I tell people what I play, they say "You play a what? Hobo? Elbow?
Also, they are also mentioned in a lot of tv shows.
The most common useless info is that they sound like a duck. People who are not good players get made fun of for that.
The most common response I get when I tell people what I play......"An oboe? Is that like a flute?" (word of advice- never ask that to an oboe player)
It is considered to be the hardest instrument in band.
Oboe reeds get messed up when the weather changes! (this has been proven)
Here is one other thing that isn't nessescary about the oboe, but about oboe players.......when something goes wrong with our oboes or we mess up and our band director chews us out, we always "blame the reed!" We blame it because it is the most important part of our instrument and it is so fragile.
I actually have a shirt that says blame the reed on it. lol.
I hope you learned some stuff about the oboe! (I also hope it's usless enough)
Good Luck!What is some useless but interesting information about the oboe?
To Band Nerd
I'm first chair oboe in our freshman band and I have issues with playing sometimes. I'm glad I'm not the only one who blames it on the reed!
The textbook for conducting class when I was in college--"The Psychology of Conducting"--noted, and my observation has since shown, that whenever an oboe player makes a mistake, s/he looks cross-eyed at the reed--even if the mistake was playing the wrong rhythm or forgetting an accidental, which is not the reed's fault.What is some useless but interesting information about the oboe?It is regarded as the instrument that most closely replicates the sound of the human voice.
It is one of the oldest reeded instruments still in common use today.
It is damn hard to play well, but totally worth it.
It is sadly often neglected in music outside of western art music these days.
The oboe's reed creates a tremendous amount of resistance, or back pressure. Because of this many students develop light headedness and headaches while learning.
Oboe players are really good at blowing up balloons!What is some useless but interesting information about the oboe?
here are 4 REALLY GOOD ONES
Professional oboe players usually make their own reeds out of a piece of cane which they fold and fasten with a metal staple. The folded end is then cut off leaving two separate blades. These blades are scraped thin so that they will vibrate when you blow into them.
The ancestor of the Western oboe was another reed instrument called the "shalmey" or "shawm" which had finger-holes but no keys. In Europe from 14th through 17th centuries, shawms were played during festive and ceremonial events, especially during outside processions which were appropriate for the shawm's loud, buzzing sound. In part, the oboe was developed during the late 17th century to provide a quieter alternative to the shawm which would be more suitable for indoor concert music.
During the 18th century, many works were composed for solo oboe, including pieces by such renowned composers as J.S. Bach and G.P. Telemann. More recently, the importance of the oboe has been somewhat overshadowed by the introduction of the flute and clarinet to the orchestra, and by the emphasis on the violin and piano as solo instruments in the nineteenth century. However, it is still at the heart of the orchestral woodwinds, and is a dynamic instrument for both solo and ensemble performances.
Similar double reed instruments are found in Asian and Arabic countries. For example, a Japanese oboe called the hichiriki, operates on the same principle of a vibrating double reed. It is has a somewhat different shape, and is only about 18 cm. long, with finger-holes rather than keys. Historically, it was primarily associated with court music.
hope you IMPRESS your teacher!!!!
I don't know if it's useless, but a surprising percentage of the population can't play the oboe, as it causes migrane headaches. Something about the way the air pressure is blocked before going through the instument.
Bumer for music ed. students when they have to do their woodwind methods classes.What is some useless but interesting information about the oboe?
The oboe is considered an angelic instrument.
The oboe player must be focused, determined, and patient.
The oboe requires as much or more air then the tuba.
good luck!
The only thing I know about the oboe is that it gets its name from the French phrase "haut bois" which means "high wood" referring to the fact that it's a wind instrument that plays in the high range. Is that useless enough info for you?
Haha. This question made me laugh. (I am an oboe player). I can give you some useless information.
For one thing, you can play "Mary Had a Little Lamb" just on the reed by itself.
Oboes often get confused with "hobo" and "elbow". When I tell people what I play, they say "You play a what? Hobo? Elbow?
Also, they are also mentioned in a lot of tv shows.
The most common useless info is that they sound like a duck. People who are not good players get made fun of for that.
The most common response I get when I tell people what I play......"An oboe? Is that like a flute?" (word of advice- never ask that to an oboe player)
It is considered to be the hardest instrument in band.
Oboe reeds get messed up when the weather changes! (this has been proven)
Here is one other thing that isn't nessescary about the oboe, but about oboe players.......when something goes wrong with our oboes or we mess up and our band director chews us out, we always "blame the reed!" We blame it because it is the most important part of our instrument and it is so fragile.
I actually have a shirt that says blame the reed on it. lol.
I hope you learned some stuff about the oboe! (I also hope it's usless enough)
Good Luck!What is some useless but interesting information about the oboe?
To Band Nerd
I'm first chair oboe in our freshman band and I have issues with playing sometimes. I'm glad I'm not the only one who blames it on the reed!

What is some useless but interesting information about the oboe?The textbook for conducting class when I was in college--"The Psychology of Conducting"--noted, and my observation has since shown, that whenever an oboe player makes a mistake, s/he looks cross-eyed at the reed--even if the mistake was playing the wrong rhythm or forgetting an accidental, which is not the reed's fault.What is some useless but interesting information about the oboe?It is regarded as the instrument that most closely replicates the sound of the human voice.
It is one of the oldest reeded instruments still in common use today.
It is damn hard to play well, but totally worth it.
It is sadly often neglected in music outside of western art music these days.
The oboe's reed creates a tremendous amount of resistance, or back pressure. Because of this many students develop light headedness and headaches while learning.
Oboe players are really good at blowing up balloons!What is some useless but interesting information about the oboe?
here are 4 REALLY GOOD ONES
Professional oboe players usually make their own reeds out of a piece of cane which they fold and fasten with a metal staple. The folded end is then cut off leaving two separate blades. These blades are scraped thin so that they will vibrate when you blow into them.
The ancestor of the Western oboe was another reed instrument called the "shalmey" or "shawm" which had finger-holes but no keys. In Europe from 14th through 17th centuries, shawms were played during festive and ceremonial events, especially during outside processions which were appropriate for the shawm's loud, buzzing sound. In part, the oboe was developed during the late 17th century to provide a quieter alternative to the shawm which would be more suitable for indoor concert music.
During the 18th century, many works were composed for solo oboe, including pieces by such renowned composers as J.S. Bach and G.P. Telemann. More recently, the importance of the oboe has been somewhat overshadowed by the introduction of the flute and clarinet to the orchestra, and by the emphasis on the violin and piano as solo instruments in the nineteenth century. However, it is still at the heart of the orchestral woodwinds, and is a dynamic instrument for both solo and ensemble performances.
Similar double reed instruments are found in Asian and Arabic countries. For example, a Japanese oboe called the hichiriki, operates on the same principle of a vibrating double reed. It is has a somewhat different shape, and is only about 18 cm. long, with finger-holes rather than keys. Historically, it was primarily associated with court music.
hope you IMPRESS your teacher!!!!
I don't know if it's useless, but a surprising percentage of the population can't play the oboe, as it causes migrane headaches. Something about the way the air pressure is blocked before going through the instument.
Bumer for music ed. students when they have to do their woodwind methods classes.What is some useless but interesting information about the oboe?
The oboe is considered an angelic instrument.
The oboe player must be focused, determined, and patient.
The oboe requires as much or more air then the tuba.
good luck!
The only thing I know about the oboe is that it gets its name from the French phrase "haut bois" which means "high wood" referring to the fact that it's a wind instrument that plays in the high range. Is that useless enough info for you?
How much information can the average human brain store?
I'm doing a science project on how the human brain stores information and also need to know how much information it can store. Simple language please! I'm only in the sixth grade. Something I will understand and get marks for because my teacher won't tolerate it (she'll think I copied it down from somewhere and don't even know what it means --%26gt;she'll torture me with questions on the thing jsut to prove a point) Thank you!How much information can the average human brain store?No limit..Human can store more %26amp; more information in their brain..No one can use their brain 100%..How much information can the average human brain store?
This is difficult to answer because everyone is different and information cannot be calculated by what a human brain can store.
Studies have shown that if the human brain is heavier, has more ridges in the gray matter of the brain, it will function better. That is something testable and so a science project can be done on it.
Maybe you want to look at IQ of human beings because in general a person with more IQ is supposedly able to hold more information in their brain, so maybe you can look at a bell curve of an IQ test thats been done to answer your question. You cannot answer your question in any scientific way because information is things made up to make sense of our world while a brain is a physical thing. The two cannot be cross-analyzed.How much information can the average human brain store?%26gt; How much information can the average human brain store?
None reliably.
Your brain is not a hard drive.
Sure, memories are "stored" but they are constantly pared and compacted, leading to unreliable recall.
%26gt; how the human brain stores information
Apparently as patterns of "strong" synapses. The Los Angeles Times did a series of articles on this some years back.How much information can the average human brain store?
I think an average human uses 20% or less of their brain ( i could be wrong ) but yea..How much information can the average human brain store?I don't think this is possible to measure...How much information can the average human brain store?
half my heads worth
