Q&A: Do you trust Mattel products after Mattel APOLOGIZED to China over “Design flaws?”?
Question by Fedup Veteran: Do you trust Mattel products after Mattel APOLOGIZED to China over “Design flaws?”?
I know that I don’t. I wonder how long that we have been getting lead tainted toys from China?
I hope to God that parents send Mattel a clear message this Christmas season that AS PARENTS we wont put up with these actions that Mattel has done.

Stupid Engineering question about foundation design…?
Question by madaznfootballer: Stupid Engineering question about foundation design…?
in foundation design where I have to use continuous footing, is that adequate enough to have just continuous footings with rebar around the all the walls of a 2 story commercial structure…or am i missing some other necessary components (i.e. slab on grade, spread footings, etc…)….sorry i’m new at this…
Best answer:
Answer by jay13178
There’s nothing wrong with a continuous footing around a 2 story structure. If you have columns inside you’ll need pads for those as well of course. A slab on grade would work also, as long as you’re not in an area that freezes. I don’t know what your exterior walls are like, but if they’re light, like metal siding, you could even just attach them to columns and use spread footers at the columns. I assume though that it’s probably the typical masonry facade with a wood or steel stud wall making up the real structure. I would probably go with the strip footer like you indicated, for simplicity and low cost.

Chinese product recall……what products exactly are affected?
Question by Riley: Chinese product recall……what products exactly are affected?
Is it just fisher price affected by this chinese product recall or is it a whole range of baby items?
decided to see what stuff I have for my new baby that is made in China.
One item was a painted plastic dinnerware set. The company it is made by is babycie.com, a company based in California.
So I sent them a very polite email asking if they knew for sure that this product was safe and he sent me back an email saying ‘of course it is safe!’
So am I supposed to just take his word for it?
The silly man obviously got very offended that I was asking but honestly does he think I am going to let my child eat off a plate that has paint with lead in it.
So I just emailed him back and asked how he could be so sure and who was his chinese vendor. I suggested that if he was unable to confirm for sure that his products were safe then I would enlist the help of channel 7 news to investigate instead!
does anyone know if its just fisher price affected or where I could get that info. thanx

The argument for Irrelevant Design
Hurry up and repent!!! For Christmas is just around the corner! The merry times are upon us!!! An overactive imagination is no sufficient substitute for actual evidence. Oh, and remember, God’s like a fart. Just because you can’t see him doesn’t mean he’s not there, and God ALSO results in devastation wherever he goes as well.

Stupid table problem… design view only..help?
Question by tang: Stupid table problem… design view only..help?
Well here’s two pictures:
http://share4pic.com/images/5/7/7/5775707.jpg
http://share4pic.com/images/3/8/0/3805708.jpg
The first is of the problem. I place pictures of my mum’s art in the cells to the right and for some reason, the damn cells on the left have to expand wth the ones on the right, leaving me with a completely stuffed up navigation. You can see a normal navigation in the second pic. I’ve been trying to make those cells on the left go little to match the website template. It seems to be impossible, I’m using Frontpage and no I can’t do any coding, is there any function within the program that I’m missing where I can just easily select for this to NOT happen?
this is driving me nuts, if i can’t do it i’m going to have to send her to a pro where she will spend hundreds of dollars.
I tried to paste some code in here but it exceeds the character limit. Isn’t there some way I can just do this through thr buttons on frontpage? I need to be able to do this to about 40 damn pages, so it needs to be simple. It’s looking like a pro is the only way out.
Hey sory for swearing I’m just pretty pissed off with this website. Thanks for your help.

Answer by netjr
Because it was a democrat witch hunt on Republican administrations that didn’t want to keep wasting money in New Orleans. Fact was the money was given to New Orleans in the 60’s and the squandered it on unions but the investigation would have never gotten that “deep.”

How hard is it to break into the web design industry?
Question by Johnathan M: How hard is it to break into the web design industry?
From the time I was eleven I’ve been into designing websites.Now I’m eighteen years old and looking into pursing web design as a career.I’m not stupid,I know that what I know about web design now isn’t nearly enough to get a job with.I’m planning on either going to college or taking a course on web design,but before I can make this kind of choice I need to know:
Is it difficult to break into the web design industry,even with proof of college or college level education and a portfolio?
Best answer:
Answer by blairnative
College is not required for a career in web design.
You need to have the artistic skills and creativity to design cutting edge web pages, and be able to bring multiple pages together into a website.
You need to understand the social network, and have an elemental understanding of marketing.
You need to have good tech skills. HTML, Cold Fusion, PHP, whatever. Dreamweaver probably.
Then you start building a portfolio. Build out a website of your own. Make it look great. Offer to build a few friends a website. Volunteer for a church, or fire station, or something like that.
Then you have creative skills, technical skills, and a portfolio of your work that people can look at.
Print some business cards up, and constantly network. Hit sites like Craigslist and look for work.
Its not a hard career to break into, it can be a hard career to excel at, and make good money in.
However, it can be done.
College doesnt mean much. I would prefer a web designer with an art degree versus IT degree, and frankly it doesnt matter. Most great web designers are self taught.

Is graphic design a wasted stupid thing to major in?
Question by Elizabeth: Is graphic design a wasted stupid thing to major in?
Yesterday, my dad told me I was such a smart woman and that I am wasting so much of my brain power by studying graphic design in college. He claimed that it takes no skill to do what i do and that i could be using my smarts to do something so much more useful and worthwhile and that i wont make more than like 40,000 a year in that field. I really enjoy everything artistic and thought i knew what i wanted to do in college. But my dad kind of hurt my feelings by saying that and im suddenly questioning my talents. Does anyone agree/dissagree with him?
