How did townspeople become independent of the feudal system? What does the saying "town air makes you free" me?

There was a law that said that if a serf escaped to a town and was able to live there for "a year and a day" he would automatically be free. So many ran away from the farms to the towns. This was made easier during outbreaks of plague and other diseases when so many died that there were few left to keep an eye on slaves.

Distasteful deus ex machina?

Yes, that is deus ex machina. Norgard needs to do something to save himself or at least contribute to saving himself. Perhaps he tricks a closet monster into contacting Ella and saying there's a really bad monster where Norgard is.

How do you calculate shared rent between roomates when one person has the much larger Master bedroom suite?

My daughter and her friend are getting a two bedroom apartment. The master bedroom suite is 70sq feet larger with private bath and huge closets. How do we calculate the rent for each based on who gets that bedroom. 50/50 hardly seems fair. I know there is a formula for this very thing, just don't know what it is.

What should i do? how do i get through it?

im a sophmore now in highschool. during freshmen year i dated this girl, megan, we dated for 9 months. i lived in wisconsin at the time and eventually i moved to northcarolina, a month upon moving here she found out i had cheated on her while i was in wisconsin so she left me, and ofcourse i tried to get her back which was unsuccessful. our relationship had always had some pain in it but there were also really good times, i dont know i guess it was a little shakey because we seemed to have hurt each other alot. but anywayys months later she started talking to me again and we continue to talk to this day. i never threw anything she got me away, it all currently sits in a box within my closet that i have hidden so well. i havent tried to be in a relationship since, it was the only relationship ive ever cheated in so it really made me kind of wonder about my own identity and how well i thought i knew myself. so ever since ive been purposely remaining single in order to understand why i did it and what issues i have and ive been trying to find myself basically and solve those issues. ive never gotten over her though, ive tried to forget everthing that ever happened between us and everything that was ever said. until recently last night, i had done a good job at that. but then i was searching through my closet and out pops a picture of us at homecoming. suddenly memories, feelings, guilt, everything came back. i still have strong feelings for her though its been 7 months since we split up. i just want suggestions on how i could possibly get over her, and move forward in my life. i told my parents of this and they said i possibly could have loved or still do love her, however i dont believe in love at my age what with hormones and all that other crazy bullshit. i just call it strong attraction, or better yet its just infatuation,puppy love. i didnt sleep that night, and i only read one line "without you here, nothing seems to make sense...im more alone when im in a crowd of people than i am in my room, i miss you jake." and its been in my head ever since. just please, give advice in order to help me press forward with my life

How would you have responded?

My husband was best man in a wedding yesterday. I attended the wedding and reception in a classic "little black dress". During the reception, the bride approached me and asked me why I wore black ( a funeral color) to her wedding. I told her that black isn't only for funerals, and that I don't have many "wedding clothes" in my closet. Keeping in mind that my husband spent $100 on his tux, and that we gave them a nice cash gift with a card. I couldn't help but feel that I chose to wear something that the bride saw as inappropriate to her wedding. (The groom is mid 50's, and the bride close to 50.) I'm wondering if I responded appropriately, or if I should have said something different? I can't imagine saying something to a guest that would make them feel the way I did. Years ago, a comment like this would have prompted me to leave immediately - but at my age (51) it just irritated me.

Do you keep outgrown toys around for friends' children when they come over?

I have a fisher price rocking puppy, a ride on 4-wheeler, and two ride on/push-to-walk toys that my son outgrew about a year or so a go. For a while I'd bring them out of the closet when some friends with younger kids came over to visit, but the older kids always wanted to play on them too (my 4 year old and their 6 and 7 year old). They're pretty much just taking up closet space, but I'm wondering if I should pick just one (maybe the 4 wheeler?) to keep around just in case or if I should send them all off to new homes. What do you guys do?

Difference between Feudal Renaissance and Feudal Japan?

Can you please compare the feudal renaissance and the feudal japan? How are they different and how are they the same? thank you! :)

The garden is full of interlocked roots just under the surface. What can I do about it?

If they are tree roots you can end up killing the tree. I would add no more than 4 inches of top soil and plant in that for a couple years. You could build a wood frame work around the area so the dirt doesn't get washed away. Then if no trees died off add another layer of top soil. Continue over the years until you get it to the level you desire. Now, if you go with the whole amount you can end up killing anything that depends on those roots. If possible maybe you could follow one of them back to it base.

Riddle me this, is your intellect as developed as you think?

Well, I'm guessing this has to do with cards, seeing as there is a club, diamond, and a spade in it. Since there's nothing about any jokers, I'm going to guess 52, since there are 52 cards in a deck without the jokers.

What is wrong with me /is anything wrong at all?

For a while now i have been having like memory loss it you could say. Its not like forever gone it just like goes away then comes back sometimes. For example ill go into my closet or into a room and know im about to get something then ill just stand there not remembering what i said i was going to get for some reason.. sometimes my memory comes back and i know what i was there for after trying hard to remember for like 5 minutes and sometimes i just leave that area because i totally forget what i went in there for. Its been happening for over i month now im sure and i would just like to know why or what it is that is making my mind do this. Something weird that came with this also is that when someone says something to me or just out loud ill sit there for a second and then it feels like nothing was said at all or that my mind was just imagining that someone said something but they really didn't. That also happens to me if i say something and stop in the middle of my sentence i cant really remember what i said or im not sure if i actually said anything at all or if it was just in my head. I really have no idea what it might be that's making this happen to me but if you know or are a doctor please help explain why this is happening or tell me if i have some type of thing that's wrong with me making this happen if you can thank you.

What military hierarchy did feudal Japan have?

I understand that a daimyo was above a samurai, and samurai had their own soldiers, but how did they organize them? Were there rankings to samurai? Were there samurai captains and colonels? Did the lower daimyo take these positions? If I am a powerful daimyo and I have weaker daimyo in my retinue who have soldiers of their own, is that the organization that I use? What if my men account for fifty percent of the people on my side in a battle, how do I organize them?

Home cash game nl holdem..?

well this night was definitely one to forget but there was a few hands i think i could learn a lot from like one with a straight vs the old runner runner flush: i limped pre-flop with 8 6 as it was short handed and everyone was limping, plus its pretty fishy so mediocre hands will pay you off, and i flopped an open ender and bet, get raised pretty substantially and everyone folds, so i call. turn puts a second spade on the board, however, gives me the nuts. i bet about the pot size as i was pretty sure this guy has two pair or better and was hoping he would feel weakness and raise....nope, he just calls and sure enough a third spade peels off....concisely, i bet he raises and i just call watching a 2000 dollar head towards him, is there anything there i could get out of that or was that fish at their best? and what makes the hand more confusing was he did not even have a pair, just a j high in spades.... lessons? one last hand....i get aces, yet there is a raise a two callers before me....perfect right? not really. i re-raise to about 150, kinda an irritation raise as the pot is about 180 before that.....so everyone folds except one person that i am fairly familiar with and before he called pre-flop he said it was a bad call....so instantly all pairs are canceled and im thinking suited long distant connectors, like 9 5 or so....flop is j 9 2 two clubs....and he checks....i just went all in as i figured if it did hit him, he was on a draw, maybe a pair and a flush it was pretty even...basically wanted to push him off. (sets are out of my range with him putting in the pre-flop statement) and he sits there forever, contemplating and im thinking oh **** he has j 9 which would be an ok call preflop as that is aces buster but after a while he calls flips over j 2 in spades. so i understand the push isn't necessarily a good play but how in the world is it justified in calling a three bet with j 2 out of position? say the flop gives him trips...2 2 x im out of there hence the preflop discussion....say its j j x, im at least slowing down and not paying him off so two pair is really all he can hit there and win a big pot not mentioning if an ace comes out he is absolutely dead...tips?

If i dont get an answer soon I am giving up on Yahoo all together.

I saw my neighbor attacking a vicious raccoon, but I'm not reporting it as I don't see fit. Is that ok?

The raccoon was being somewhat aggressive to the neighbor and did after all, pose a threat to him so I'm not going to report it. He attacked the raccoon with one of those spade looking shovels injuring it,possibly the babies too, however I don't agree with people getting criminal records and hefty fines for situations like that. Not only is it being a snitch, but the unnecessary laws can ruin his life just because canadian animal officers go stupidly overboard. Is it my right not to say anything?...not that I'm going to give info anyways.

Kittens playing together too rough?

I'm not sure the rough kitten is experiencing separation anxiety from the mother. Cats don't need their mother emotionally like we humans do. Was she fed properly after the mother was hospitalized? Has she seen a vet? If you are worried, I would take her to the vet. Maybe she's experiencing an illness of some kind. The disturbed meow is a bit of a concern.

Why was the feudal system implemented? ?

In its early stages, feudalism evolved not implemented. It was a system that developed by itself as a solution to the political vacuum and anarchy created consequent on the fall of the Roman Empire. People who had control over land controlled men living on these and organised and regulated life in the area, serving a sort of a government. The system grew more perfect in course of time to such an extent that Lords who conquered/acquired more lands extended this system to these lands. Gradually it became universal but with slight variations in different places. The system was not implemented but evolved, accepted and modified.

Good Japanese computer games?

I'm looking for a good Japanese computer game. I don't want a war game or racing or sports. I just kind of want a game made in Japan which hasn't been Americanized, it reflects modern (or Feudal era) Japanese culture. I like Role-Playing and Adventure games, especially open-world games! Are there any good games like that?

Will Plato's Closet give me store credit?

I know that if they buy clothes off of you for $50 or more they just give you a check for convenience. I am estimating to receive more than $50 when I got tomorrow. The problem is that my nearest Plato's Closet is kinda far away and I don't go very often at all. After I get payed for the clothing that they buy I would like to shop there but I can't if they give me a check. So, will Plato's Closet give me store credit in the form of a gift card or something? Or would they even split the amount in half and give me half money and the rest in a check? Thanks!:)

All of the following contributed to the french financial crisis except?

The answer to the first question is "C". Cost-cutting measures would not have added to the financial crisis. The answer to the second question would be "B". The National Assembly abolished the feudal dues that the peasants had to pay for centuries. I hope that this has been some help to you.

How much should I sell my baseball cards for?

Card value is VERY different based on exactly what you have. I would seperate yours based on team -or- player. I would also look closely on certain stars that could be worth a lot more than 10 cents each. (i.e. Jordan, Kobe, Jeter.) It is really difficult to give you a for sure answer on how to sell based on what you have. My only advice is to seperate them into lots of players and teams you think would sell. If you think they are junk, they probably wont sell. You could also try craigslist and list them all for 1 price, see if anyone nibbles. I always reccomend craigslist because you never know who is looking for stuff like that and there a ZERO sellers fees on CL.. Good Luck!

What's the consequences of wiring an Alternator backwards?

I put the red wire (from back post with battery cable) into spade #1 and the black wire into spade #2, when it's supposed to be the other way around. Found out late, after i already driven it a few miles. It drove, but wouldn't hold a charge and a burning smell appeared when i was driving it. Haven't had the time to drive it with the correct set-up yet. Just curious if i burned it up or the battery?

I watched a PBS documentary on Benazir Bhutto last night and cannot believe how Pakistan treated that family?

That family suffered a great deal, but she and her father obviously loved Pakistan and I love how she said democracy was the best revenge. It is too bad Pakistan is still such a feudal mess. I only realized the current Pakistani president is her widower. Zardari needs to come clean about Bin Laden because those are some of the same forces that killed Benazir.

What would the japanese honorific of the wife of a daimyo/fuedal lord be?

My school will being doing a production of an original play about the feudal era. To get people more invested into the culture after viewing the play we're using such honorifics in the dialogue. We have an understanding of the other .honorifics. Such as -dono being used for the fuedal lord, but what if any honorific would be used for his wife by their servants and clan?

Hanging Polo Shirts in Closet?

I have a ton of polo shirts and hang them up in my closet on wood hangers. Creases have developed on some of them and I know it's mostly from the wash/dry but I did some searching to see if the way I was hanging them was contributing...they get pretty pushed together most of the time. I was already keeping the collar up while wash/dry and keeping them buttoned all way up while wash/dry and while hanging, the other thing they said was to pop the collar while they're hanging? I haven't tried it yet, but it seems like that's going to bend the collar even more? Thoughts?

Was the Feudal system a social system or a political system?

Feudal society was not just social - it encompassed everything social, political and economic. On the whole, you were either an Elite (royalty/aristocrat/land owner), an Ecclesiastical figure (involved with the Church eg a Bishop, Priest, etc) or a Serf (a peasant). The Church and the State combined to dominate political life. Economically, serfs worked the land owned by the elites, and paid tithes (taxes) to the Church. Socially, serfs were the lowest of the low, with little or no rights and almost no chance of ever becoming free.

Why was this lizard and garter snake following me and why were they seeking one anothers company?

For some odd reason and this may sound even a bit strange but why was this garter snake and lizard following me? and I still don't understand what is a lizard and a garter snake doing together? It's like their seeking each other for companionship but here's the story: So i'm walking outside to go and take out the trash and what not as I usually always do and i've came across this garter snake and this lizard which are pretty common here in california and there's a lot of them in my apartment complex but anyway these animals were just seeking each other and these were "wild" animals that live in the wild of civilization, the people who live around are use to the animals but can't remember the name of the species of lizard they're pretty small and grayish, me and my cousins would always catch them in our backyard and feed them to our bearded dragon named "KeKe" when we were little and they still have her to this day and she is very healthy and happy but as I was walking towards the trash can or dumpster that's in our parking lot i've heard a little noise behind me and it was really quiet but I threw the trash away turned around and guess what? yup the snake and lizard were right behind me and i'm not making this up either, they were just staring at me and not in a threatening way and i've tried to not appear as a threat to them and at first after i've turned around and saw them I had turned my head up and tried not to make eye contact with them so they won't feel threaten and kept on walking but they was catching up to me real fast and i've tried to get them away from me and not in my house and believe me I was stuck outside for awhile lol trying to get them away but then i've picked them up and moved them to a further area but not far enough from their territory and ran as fast as I could but they were so fast that they kept catching up to me after every attempt to get them away these animals were very smart but then i've had my sister get a little piece of meat and i've found some insects to give to them to distract them so I could run back in the house but it was not working at all but then finally they took their eyes off of me for a second then I snuck as fast as I can back into my house and made it and then I was looking out my window to come found out that the lizard and garter snake was still there just staring out the door but then i've found this little empty 20 gallon aquarium in my closet and went back out to get them and set them inside and they gave me no problem what so ever, i'm going to release them back soon but for now they'll just stay in the aquarium with the proper lighting/heat source for them to stay warm and a cool side to stay cool and I have a huge water dish for them to drink out of and newspaper as substrate and i've even set them next to my bed so they could see me and I could see them since they were for some reason seeking my company which I still don't understand? but they still seem to be happy and healthy since i've captured them but could somebody please explain to me what was a garter snake and a lizard doing together seeking company? and why were they following me? i'm going to try and post a picture of them and get a video up soon on them before I release them and show you this shocking unusual reptile behavior and i'm going to post it up on youtube so stay tune and my youtube channel is a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/emoneyo2" rel="nofollow"http://www.youtube.com/user/emoneyo2/a but sorry this question was so long but please read it, this is one of my interesting and unusual questions i've ever posted in the reptile/zoology section but could somebody explain this unusual behavior among these two animals that goes against their instincts.

So hard for our community?

So I'm bi. Closeted except for like 9 people. My moms EXTREMELY homophobic. I've been watching some It Gets Better videos. I see the people talking about how hard it was for them. How torturous. And how they wanted to die. Maybe its just my community, but being Bisexual isn't anything to deal with for me its just my romantic attraction, so what? 15, btw. I mean one of the most popular guys from our Class of '11 is openly gay. I mean other than any bullying that may take place in someone life, I don't see the issue. Why is being gay or bi an INTRApersonal conflict? Why would you be mad at yourself? And know my mom is EXTREMELY homophobic, I am Christian, and in High School. Its no big deal really to me nothing to really deal with. I have no problem with my own self in that respect. Dont get it.

A GS user just posted an answer stating "if a gay person doesn't want to be gay-bashed then stay in the ...?

I agree, just because someone is gay, it doesn't mean they need run around shouting I'm gay from the roof top, there's nothing wrong wanting to stay in the closet. Why should someone want to tell everyone their personal business?

Is Harold Camping really a Christian?

He isn't a christian in my eyes. What kind of person thinks they are in the same standing with God and for God to give an imperfect human that piece of information? Harold Camping made a false prediction. A 'true' christian turns to the bible because the bible is God's inspired word. It says in the bible that we don't know when the last day is going to be...this goes for God's angels, Jesus, and imperfect people knowing when it is going to happen.

I need help with my History Homework- High Middle Ages?

That would be a difficult answer for any of us since we dont have your class. Do u have a book with a chapter on that? If u do, skim through that section to find those answers or otherwise if u dont have a book, put on google search, Agricultural Advances of the European high middle ages. You should get some responses on that or move the words around a bit for other results. Its going to take some time nomatter what. Same for your other question. Ask those questions on your google search.

Are there any modern feudal societies today?

In medieval times, kings gave land to lower classes in return for their loyalty, money, and work. I'd like to know if there are any systems of exchange today, similar to this one. I can't think of any.

I suspect my babysitter or housekeeper is stealing from me. Confront?

confront both of them about it. personally, like in privacy. but just in case make sure someone else is there with you. but if helen says its not her, but you dont think its her either, just say "hey, im not blaming you for anything im just trying to figure stuff out, i have a babysitter working for me too and im getting suspicious, so dont take anything too seriously or hard". from reading this, i have a feeling it would be barb. but im not sure. maybe try setting up a camera in your sons room so that whoever is there taking it, you will know. BUT, i reccomend trying the camera first and then if u still have no evidence, THEN ask them about it. hope this helps && good luck!

Cat acting strange!! HELP!?

About 3 years ago, our neighbor shot our cat not once, but twice. She had three holes because she must have been laying down so it went through her leg and then through her stomach, well she cleaned it up and there was no blood when we found out and it took her a long time to heal up. We couldn't take her to the vet at the time as we live in a small town and the vet works in another town too so we let her do her own thing and keep her away from the dogs for awhile. After she healed she was spaded so she couldn't have anymore babies so she gained quite a bit of weight.. I'm not sure what she weighs now but it's gotta be well over 30 lbs. I've noticed for about a week and a half now that she has had poop on her butt, all i thought to myself was that she's just getting old (going on 9 yrs) and she is over weight so she must not be able to reach down there to clean herself. Today i was walking into the hallway to use the restroom and she was in like a pooping position shaking facing the wall, I touched her and she shook worse so i kind of helped her to lay down and i pushed on her stomach not really hard and i heard this squeak sound like when you blow up a balloon and let it go. It was her fart and so i sat there with her kind of worried for 20 mins. and she was still laying in the position i left her and you could see the pain in her face evertime she lifted up her bum to let another one go.... i don't know if it has something to do with the bullets if they are still in her from years ago or what.. I'm just scared something is wrong with her because i've had her since i was like 7 or 8 years old because my other cat (we no longer have got ran over) was her mom and she had kittens like 2 days before my birthday and i asked if i could keep one. haha. If i have to.. I can ask my mom to bring her to the vet but maybe one of you have an answer :)

What is that music video by some guy with a name like 'Monster'?

It's a rap song with monster as a recurring name but I don't remember if Monster was the main rapper, or if it was featuring him. And in the music video, it's a scene of a guy making out with a girl in her bedroom and her dad comes home, so the guy hides in the closet. Then the girl apparently gets in a fight with her dad or something and she lies on the bed upset. Then in the backyard, another guy with a mask on comes creeping into her bedroom and creeps up right next to her. It's killing me!!!

Why would my crush hurt me like this?

So this boy who likes me (told me im pretty and told his guy friends that he likes me) said on Friday right to my face, "Olivia, why do you try? You show off in front of all of the guys, it's like, get out of the f*cking closet" because my guy friend was tazing me (not with the gun, it's when you use your hands) and my other guy friend was putting his arm around me.

If the GOP win, will CEO's be called Barons and CFO's Dukes and COO's Lordship because feudal society will?

Feudalism was long ago replaced with capitalism. Barons were replaced by CEOs, Dukes by CFOs, and Lordships by COOs. The election won't change anything about that either.

Should I adpot this young dog?

Why was the dog returned? Does it get along with your dogs? (Check that out first). Do your really have the money and the time for a 6th dog? Each one will demand so much from you and as you know, while your love will encompass them all, your time will not. Can you take on this new dog without cheating the other dogs? Can you really afford this dog? What are the zone restrictions where you live? Is this an inside dog? Do you have time to house train? One of the ways people become hoarders are by being kind, sensitive and unable to say no even when they have reached their limit - and the very people who criticize them for it will be trying to get them to say yes the next time they have an inconvenient animal. What is your gut feeling telling you? But if, upon examination of your circumstances, you think you can take on this 6th dog, by all means do so. Or even better, take her on with the understanding you will be looking for a new home for her - and then do so. Bernese Mountain Dogs are wonderful dogs. If you can't take her on in good conscience, then know she is putting the same pressure on other people as well as you; the vet might be willing to take her to rehome her (or maybe not) and if she finds a shelter with a good adoption rate who works with rescues, even a full access shelter gives her a chance at a new home. Since she breeds them she should also be aware of possible rescues herself. This is a decision only you can make. But don't make it solely by this woman pushing you.
