Is there such a thing as robotic action figures?

Am taking supplements that are coated so that they pass through the stomach. Stomach acids destroy the effectiveness. Serrapeptase is an example. The tablets are about the same size as a full strength aspirin (not large) yet I cannot swallow them. I must chew everything in my mouth before swallowing. Feel that this is at least partially psychological. Please tell me how to be able to swallow these tablets.

How can I determine the least windy places to live in the U.S.?

Thank you for trying but that is not the song I'm thinking about. It was about a note, or a letter; both my daughter and I thought that it was called "the note" and although we have found songs named that, they were not the one we were looking for. It was a song about these young adults' uncle, he died alone and never married. The note explained why, they sat on the bed going thru his things and found the note, we can both picture the video as clear as day but can't find it! Very frustrating! It was sung by a younger not so famous man, definitely not Johnny Cash. We figure my daughter was between 8-12 years old at that time which would make the years '93-'97; I hope that narrows it down a little more. I appreciate your efforts and your timely response! Could you try again?

I am a person with zero knowledge of casting who needs to find, from time to time, amateur performers or beginning professional moonlighting performers (specifically dancers, actors, comics, entertainers -- but not musicians), for specific performing gigs (paid, but not big time) -- in Orange County CA. Apparent difficulty is in either identifying potential performers, or in finding a way for them to learn of the opportunities and contact us. We can set up auditions. But how to let the potential performers know of them? I am in need of any of several possibilities: A casting director who could advise us on how to accomplish finding the people. Or a freelance casting associate/assistant who advises -- or sets up a system for us; or finds the people for us, etc. The only thing I'm finding so far is a national association of casting directors -- who would not seem to be candidates for assisting us in any way. I'm thinking that in almost every endeavor there is some middle option between total do it yourself without a clue or spend big bucks to get it done. There must be someone like a casting assistant/associate who could advise or help or do it on contract. What I'm wanting is a legit person or site that says something like "we answer questions about casting"; or a person who would freelance for us at a reasonable rate; etc.

I already know about GIS. Instead of a packaged own-install system, I'm looking for knowledge of what web-based GIS systems are available for use; eg ESRI should have a web-based system available. I don't want to buy and install a GIS system, but I want to use a web-based system, i.e. someone with a GIS server that offers use of it -- just like yahoo offers a web-based email system (so one does not need to create their own web-based email system). Seem to me that there should be lots of articles on 'how to get started in web-based GIS' for the many users who want to get started with a web-based GIS 'service'.

I want to know what the hot topics are in the real estate industry right now. Other than the obvious always-hot ones, such as are found on the daily news. There are actually many real estate industries, brokerage is only one part of a much bigger whole. I don't particularly care which RE industry you choose. If do a good job on one, i'll be looking for others. I want to know -- What do the people in the industry want to know, or know about, at this time? I want to know what are the 'hot' topics in some real estate industry area. Magazines etc are probably the best bet. A story/topic in one mag tells us what the editor 'thinks' the readers want to know. But doesn't tell me what they think is 'hot'. Same topic in different pubs in same time period tells what the editors think is 'hot' topic. Also a 'story' on 'what are the hot topics' would do the job. A mistake would be to look at mags in different real estate domains -- i want 'industry' hot topics, not 'broader business/culture' hot topics in which the industry is interested because the whole business world is interested.

There are people who provide a service for estates of deceased celebrities in regard to managing the memorabilia -- getting it organized; getting some of it into museums, etc; getting some of it sold; developing a plan for how to handle the 'stuff'/memorabilia especially of the estate; maybe even 'curating' it. I know there is someone handling Marlon Brando's estate who is going beyond this (I recall an article in LA Times awhile back); and also someone handling Steve McQueen's estate and going beyond the basics. I'm looking for a directory or list of people who handle the basics of it. Not looking for lawyer, but more of an orgainzer/manager. Maybe a deal-maker/marketer type later, but for now need list of people who can do the basics of it.

I have a business idea and need to contact the Venetian Hotel and Casino. I have researched the owner Sheldon Adelson but haven't had any luck on how to contact him. The only way I could possibly get a hold of him is through the hotel's Human Resource office. I also don't know if E-mail is a proper way of contacting him initially. So the question is what is the proper etiquette for a business proposal and is E-mailing a valid channel of communication for this?

Where can I get a picture of the Ford Motor Company Auto Assembly Plant in Milpitas California. I would like to get a picture and frame it since my Father, brother, and I all worked there.

I have been trying to locate a few playground toys that I had when I was a kid. the first was a "whirley bird": it was a 4 seat (possibly steel) toy that you sat on and you could spin around and around by moving your handles back and forth. Eventually they broke and we would just push off with our feet and the object was to see who could stay on the longest. The other playground toy is a "jungle gym". It was also made of steel and it looked like pipes attached together that started with it being larger on the bottom and gradually became higher and yet smaller e.g.: 6 boxes on the botom and one box on the top. These were probably made during the 1950's, they were used when we got them. I was born in 1968. What do you think?????

Where can I find contacts for international merchandise distributors, such as distributors of fine/decorative art reproductions, and other general merchandise so that I can start my own wholesale business?

Are there any types of remote pagers, tag systems, beeper systems of anykind that you can attach to any small item such as a child's gameboy, or tv remote? When they lose them constantly and instead of spending countless hours searching for them, you clap, or touch a button and they beep, such as your phone does to find it.
