The prices of commodities are derived, in part, from the expected cost of carrying the item for a certain period of time. When the geo-political environment becomes less certain, the perceived risk of carrying a commodity becomes greater. Risk is statistically expensive. Therefore, when risk goes up, so do commodity prices.(Mike H)

commodity markets in general panic when perceived instability. It is because gas is a very necessary commodity, and when there is any chance that its supply would be curtailed by a world event, the demand for it goes up, and so so prices.(Insprofe...)

59% of the price of gas goes to crude oil

Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), a consortium of 11 countries: Algeria, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Venezuela.

OPEC will reduce production of refined oil to raise prices of gas.

Hurricane season will raise gas prices to make up for the potential loss of refineries or reserves of the coasts.

Hurrican season is also during the summer when travel is most frequent.

11% of the price of gas also goes to distribution;

shipping by truck, air, ship costs money to fuel.

20% of the price of gas goes to uncle sam. [war costs]

that's it in a nutshell(Jacob R)

That never used to be. It started when Bush was elected - that is not a coincidence. Before that gas prices rose when there was an actually reason - not a perceived one.(thehuntr...)

Some of us are ants, if the wind blows, we freakout and get lost.(admyr75)

I agree that it is greed. Perceived instability is not actual instability. If the supply runs out, then the price would go up if there was less to go around. Why does it keep going up just in CASE it may run out? How can the gas companies still have record profits when they are supposedly in such a crisis?(advicemo...)

the real question is why do they raise the price when the truck of new fuel is not due for 4 days, so the are jacking up the price of fuel when they paid less for it.(native)

Sometimes there are real reasons. Other times they just have to justify taking you money.(mrimprov...)

There have been a lot of similar questions to this one, but I am interested in buying a motorcycle, however from what i've heard the insurance for motorcycles is expensive. Can somebody please just tell me an approximate range of the insurance rates on a motorcycles without refering me to a website to get a quote from. Just any kind of number range would be helpful.

first credit has nothing to do with it-- the cheapest insurance for a bike is progressive my car insurance agent told me to go to them because they were higher as for a rate qoute you will have to go to the website because it is based on state laws and what is going on in your city age and type of bike ---I am way older than you- live in Louisiana and have been riding since way before you were born and a new HD big twin is about 1400.00 per year if you were to ride the same sled you are looking at 2-2200.00 add more for a pocket rocket and just a note put full coverage on it and keep it up because you wreak it will save you from some hassles GL(dead7)
http://alianv.cn/read-4690_-_What-does-a-person-credit-score-have-to-do-with-rates-on-car-insurance-rates-.htm
I think the best thing to do is try to search it on the net, go for online shopping so that you can compare different car insurance rate. You can try to visit this cheap insurance site  evaluate the quotations that you have collected and choose the company that could provide a much cheaper insurance services.Goodluck(provider)

EDWARDS Makes Dumbest Statement Ever by a Presidential Candidate




RUSH: To the audio sound bites. We're going back to the Democrat debate yesterday. The theme of the debate was that we should be talking with our enemies. The Breck Girl said that he's going to sit down at the table with Iran and make a proposal.

EDWARDS: I think we have a clear path for America and for -- for our friends on Iran, and that path is to work with our friends in Europe to put up a choice between carrots and sticks on the table for the Iranian people.

RUSH: Okay. When it comes to the real enemy, though, Edwards will not negotiate with evil, the drug companies. He will not appear on Fox News. But he will indeed go talk to the mullocracy, if you will, Ahmadinejad in Iran.

EDWARDS: There's a fundamental question here. Whether you believe, whether voters believe the way we're going to have universal health care is to deal with those people, to make a deal with them. I don't. I don't think it will work.

RUSH: Universal health care, single payer, that means everybody pays for everybody's health care in the form of much higher taxes and a rotten system that would result from it. But he doesn't want to get the drug companies involved; not going to talk to them; can't be done; can't strike a deal with evil pharmacies; can't strike a deal with Big Pharma, can't do it, no, no, no. We can go talk to Iran. We go talk to Castro. We can talk to all these people, but we can't talk to the drug companies, can't talk to fellow Americans. They are the real enemy. He was also asked a question from an e-mailer. Stephanopoulos read it. E-mail question from Seth Ford of South Jordan, Utah. "My question is to understand each candidate's view of a personal God. Do they believe that through the power of prayer, disasters like Katrina or the Minnesota bridge collapse could have been prevented or lessened?"

EDWARDS: The answer to the question is no. I don't -- I -- I -- I prayed before my 16-year-old son died, I prayed before Elizabeth was diagnosed with cancer. I think there are some things that are beyond our control, and I think it is enormously important to look to God, and in my case, Christ, for guidance and for wisdom, but I don't think you can prevent bad things from happening through prayer.

RUSH: All right. You may not be able to prevent bad things from happening through prayer, but you can make brilliant and great things happen by voting Democrat. October 11th, 2004, on the campaign trail.

EDWARDS: When John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk, get up out of that wheelchair and walk again.
http://xiao7779.cn/read-1698_-_What-is-that-wedsite-that-has-dog-food-ratings-.htm
RUSH: Right. So we're not going to pray to God for anything, no, no, no, but Democrats are going to do these be miracles. Democrats can stop the bridge collapses. Democrats can stop Hurricane Katrina. Democrats could re-steer that after Bush and Rove are steering it right into New Orleans and Minneapolis. But all of this, folks, is really insignificant compared to a story on an ABC blog that I found over the weekend. ABC News' Rick Klein reports, "When an Iowa resident asked former Senator John Edwards whether the US should follow the Cuban health care model, Edwards deflected the question, saying he didn't know enough to answer it." The Breck Girl said, "Well, I'm going to be honest with you, I don't know a lot about Cuba's health care system. Is it a government-run system?" Now, folks, this is perhaps the dumbest thing a political candidate has ever said. Yeah, ABC. "He also flip-flopped in the same appearance whether he had seen Sicko or not. First he said he had, and then he said he hadn't."
http://xiao7779.cn/read-1708_-_Realy-authintic-mexican-food-recipes-.htm
Why do you have to see Sicko to know what Cuba's health care system is? This is worse than Dukakis and the tank. This is worse than Dan Quayle spelling potato with an e on it. This ought to disqualify him. He doesn't know what Cuba's health care system is? "Is it a government-run system?" I think this comes close to Gerald Ford with that faux pas in his debate where he said that the Eastern bloc of countries was not under Soviet domination. A guy running for president, we just heard a bite, talking about universal health care, he will not talk to the drug companies about it; he'll go meet with Iran and offer them a deal; we can't deal with real Americans; can't deal with the drug companies. But he doesn't even know what type of health care system Cuba has, when by reputation it's the best in the world, according to people on his side of the aisle.(mission_...)

Again, the ranting of a drug addled community-college flunkout is NOT a source.

Got it?

P.S. The dumbest statement ever made by a presidential candidate was by GW Bush (of course) in 2000: "If I were president, I'd get on the phone with our friends over there (Saudi Arabia) and tell them to open up the spigot". What kind of knuckle-dragging morons believed that whopper?(war_is_s...)

Edwards is being groomed to be Hillary,s V.P....in that jelly roll ya,,,,lol...chow(freepres...)

Edwards has gotten even richer off of the hard earned money of poor people. Shame.(junglejo...)

That might have something to do with how Edwards IS the dumbest presidential candidate ever.(I Do Know The Muffin Man)

that's why Obama is AWESOME!!!(labohemi...)

I refuse to read anything with the name Rush in it. And you are wrong anyway, the dumbest statement I have ever heard by a Presidential candidate was Reagan promising that his tax cuts would be the first real raise the American working people have had in years. The lying phony SOB>(grumpyol...)

The previous answer was an obscene insult in a very bad Russian, and I reported it to Yahoo Answers.
Hope this guy will not make such idiotic joke anymore in a language that he himself does not even know...
What do you mean "sexy"?
Do you need compliments, invitation to a bed, what?
Write your sentences in English and good Russians will be glad to translate them for you.
A sample:
You are very pretty= ty ochen krasivaya (tee ochen
krah-see-vay-ya)
= You have a great body! U tebya velikolepnaya figura
(Oo te-bya veh-lee-ko-lep-nay-ya fee-goo=rah)
Do you need these in cyrillic, too?(russianc...)

I also reported the guy who posted that Russian. Very bad Russian at that --

If you want to be sweet try some of these:

Ty takaya prelesnaya (You are so cute)

Ty takaya krasivaya (You are so beautiful * Can also mean, "you are so lovely")
http://mjjseo.cn/read-538_-_Where-you-charged-11-89-from-Synergy-Design-solutions-and-had-previously-shopped-at-Home-depot-.htm
Ty takaya ocharovatelnaya (You are so glamorous)

Ty takaya milaya (You are so sweet)

To be a little more sexy just tell her:

Vu voshetitelno suksualnui (You are fascinatingly sexy)
http://mjjseo.cn/read-557_-_How-do-I-find-the-quot-Real-quot-Straw-Poll-or-any-other-polls-that-actually-include-all-of-the-candidates-.htm
If you know her well and haven't seen her in a while, try saying this to her:
http://xiao7776.cn/read-1813_-_Whats-something-sexy-to-say-to-a-Russian-Girl-.htm
Ya tak silno skuchal pa tebe (I missed you so much)

I don't know much other than that for now, actually, I have to go.

Good Luck!(Oniisanm...)
 

I want to design my children's bedrooms with cabintry. I'd like to buy pre-built units and install them myself. I'm looking for drawer units, corner units, vanity units, desk units, shelving, knee drawers, bridge/floor/bench units, file drawer base unit, etc.(

As one of my instructors in college used to say, you have to "explore the possibilities." You want to make sure you come up with the most effective solution.(E-Jay)

The first solution, even though it may solve the "problem," may not be the BEST solution. What's the point of being an artist if one does not strive to be the best? A pro who does NOT think this way is doomed to lose business to a competitor.

For the past few years, I have gone from 100% traditional media, to, nearly, 100% digital. EVERY project I take on begins with, often, dozens of thumbnail sketches of possible layouts, directions, and solutions. These sketches get narrowed down, refined and polished, sometimes to be re-explored, later in the process. At some point, I am looking at one or two solutions, before I, finally, begin the computer work. These sketches help me figure out proportions and help me when it comes time to scale graphics and text sizes.

The extra hour or so, I spend on sketches, can save me many, many hours of design time on the computer.(Vince M)
