It's auto with 85,500 original miles. Stock except for the wheels, tinted windows, and head unit. Someone is interested in trading me a 1998 Firebird formula 6 speed ls1 with 138k miles but 40k on a rebuilt motor. It has some mods which are Ram air, Ls6 cam, long tube headers, true dual rumbler exhaust system, spec stage 4 clutch, spec aluminum flywheel, 4:11 rear end, and 5.0 short shifter. I've always wanted a t/a and this seems to be a good deal to me. I've had the bmw for 2 months and i love it but the firebird is my favorite car and Ive always wanted one. The guy is looking for a 4 door car because he has kids now and needs more of a family car. My biggest issue is the fact that it's just about winter now here in new england but i don't think either car will be good in the winter weather. I'm just looking for some input and advice on whether or not I should pursue the trade or just say no.<br /><br /><br /> ok! i got a 93 civic dx....auto... yup no power at all!! so what can be done to increase the power?? if i put headers, exhaust, and a intake( like k&n) how much will the power increase?

Drove down to best buy and when I came out I started it up again and noticed it was still sluggish turning over. So I turned it off(mistake) and went for a restart and it didnt have enough to turn. So I was dead in the water. Called road side assistance, they came and jumped me, went to Auto zone unplugged my Battery to have it recharged, came back and they were tellin me it wont recharge and need a new one, got a Duralast, hooked it in then asked to check the alternater, told me that that the pattern on it was done, needed a new one(really not happy now).<br /><br />Ride has just under 51k miles on it, in the last year I've had a 5/16th plenum spacer, headers, hi flow cats, exhaust, uprev reflash, HID's, upgraded speakers on the inside(higher wattage Orions), and pulley upgrades( to include the alternater pulley).<br /><br />With these upgrades, will this give me problems in the future with alternaters dying early as I've read the issue with FI 350z's???. And if so, what is a nessesary upgrade for battery/alternater life???<br /><br /><br /> my girlfriend bought a 5.0 1988 mustang its a stick i tried teaching her how to drive stick but shes just too lazy she just sold her car due to our bills so we just bought a cheaper car and she barely even knows how to drive it ive broke both my legs and currently disabled so i figure ill just have a automatic tranny installed for her since she starts her new job next week..<br /><br />i know this is powerful but i dont know about mods that much how much hp do you think this car is giving us?<br /><br />Mods<br />rear end 3:55 gears <br />t5 tranny with king cobra clutch<br />b&m short shifter <br />underdrive pullys <br />bbk shorty headers <br />bbk cold air <br />edelbrock performance intake manifold <br />F303 cam <br />throttle body (not sure what size but bigger then stock thats forsure) <br />fuel injectors 24 lbs <br />roller rockers <br />magnaflow catback exhaust<br />msd ignition <br />nitrous kit<br /><br /><br />dont know anymore info except for all this this car came from a parent of the kid that used this car and he did all the mods and is currently locked up.<br /><br />main question is how will the automatic tranny perform with the 3:55 gears? <br />and will i have to buy a driveshaft and auto pedals for it too? what else would i need?<br /><br />this needs to be done soon please let me know thanks!<br /><br /><br /> My friend wants to race me this weekend at the 1/8 mile strip that we have locally.

I need to know what is ESSENTIAL to help my car in the beginning. Just list your ideas. Another question i have is Option Racing cold air intakes any good? Are Spyder Auto intakes any good?

The problem is, idk if i'm going to be able to get a turbo, not because of financial reasons but because of my parents. They wouldnt want me to have a turbo until i'm older probably.<br /><br /><br /> Guys, I would appreciate if anyone could help me. I bought a '73 Nova in MINT condition. It has a built 350 with clay smith cams, hedman headers, 4 barrel Holley carb, (unknown aftermarket) heads, flowmaster exhaust, line locks, variable height shocks for burnout or traction. 4 speed auto, unknown gearing. This car came from Florida and was set up for drag racing...! It is literally slower than sh!t, what the hell could be the problem????<br /><br /><br /> Ok so I have done plenty of research and I know that the auto tranny may have some complications. However, I have seen that many people have done it succesfully and i say to myself, "why can't i?" I can't have another car because i am too young for a loan and have nobody to co-sign. <br /><br />Now that I have explained my reasoning my questions are. <br /><br />I was going to get an intake, reflash, manifold, and header. Will these parts come with a turbo?<br /><br />Kpro seems to tough to modify for the base rsx, what engine managment can/should i use?<br /><br />What should i do to help the auto tranny work better?<br /><br />Currently I have a greddy SP2. Will i need to change the exhaust?<br /><br />What is the best turbo kit for the base auto?<br /><br />What numbers are realistic? (HP and TQ)<br /><br />Any other info you have i will be glad to read as i am still learning.<br /><br />Plz no "you should have gotten a type s" comments. I appreciate any and all help. Thank you.<br /><br /><br /> I just want better acceleration. i hate that its autobut im stuck with it so what else can i do? im not doing motor swap as again its auto and to swap to manual wouldnt even be worth the money and time. so if i put header and exhaust catback on it, since i already got and aftermarket intake, will it at least feel a little more peppy when accelerating? is a 1999 civic ex coupe. thanks,<br /><br /><br /> My friend has a 3rd gen mustang with a 302, edelbrock dual plane manifold, edelbrock 650cfm carb, headers and a 5 speed manual (t5?).

So I fixed the head gasket, and another problem became evident: when I try to start the car, gas literally floods the engine and goes out the exhaust. After first noticing the gas leak, I unbolted the exhaust except for the header. Then I cranked it with the fuel pump relay removed, and it poured out the header steadily. However, when I put the fuel pump relay back in place and crank it, gas gushes out of the header. I am certain this is gasoline and not water. It ignites. After that, I removed the gas inlet line to the intake, and even with fuel pump disconnected, gas will steadily pour out of the line when I crank the motor. There is obviously no residual pressure, as I even opened the gas cap to relieve any vacuum. New parts include plugs, o2 sensor, fuel pressure regulator, injector o-rings, etc. I have cleaned most electrical contacts and have a new battery if that could matter. Would anybody know what might cause gas to pour out the exhaust? Please help, I need this car immediately for school and work, and am running out of time and money.<br /><br />Thanks a lot,<br /><br />DanKazizzle<br />By the way, car does not run for those who can't tell.<br /><br /><br /> okay I got an aem sri for a year and no cel.

Happens every time it's driven.<br /><br />When I accelerate, it gets to about 2000 RPM, it starts to bog down. Like it will be a healthy acceleration until that point, then it will drop RPM a couple hundred, gain a few hundred more, start to drop again, gain some, back and forth until around 3000RPM then it accelerates hard. All with the throttle pressed down an even amount the whole time. I've even noticed it backfiring when I let off the throttle quickly.<br /><br />This is driving me nuts and makes it unpleasant to drive.<br /><br />Any help is very much appreciated, and I don't have much money for trial-and-error.<br /><br /><br /> I have a 4 barrel carburetor, I have headers, dual exhaust, auto transmission out of a Berlinetta.

So anyone that has any ideas or suggestions let me know. :)<br />...Also please be mature enough to offer helpful suggestions and answer the questions I have asked. I do not want to read comments to get a v8...if we wanted a v8 we would have gotten one. So please keep your comments to yourself if your not going to suggest something useful. :)<br />Well I live in Canada the only ones who get laughed at where we're from is the Honda's. Despite our V6 we've gotten TONS of compliments on it already and we've only had it a month. There's a guy that has a 2007 Saleen and welcomed us to the "family" . Like I said around here the only ones who get laughed at are rice burners. <br />We can make our V6 have more horses for the same price as a GT. A stock GT has what 290-300 hp, a stock V6 has 210...a supercharger will give a V6 about 120 hp so that would make a V6 330...at least 30 more hp than a GT..plus we don't get nailed by insurance for having a V8.<br />We're more interested in taking a V6 and making it something that no one else has around here so that people have to ask what we did to it.<br />Anyways, for anyone that has any good information that will answer what I initally asked that would be great.<br />I love my Rustang :P<br /><br /><br /> 91 305 V8 auto.

It's currently a matching numbers and low mileage convertible in great shape (worth ~$15K), but like I said kinda boring. The retrofit will cost some bucks but will sure make it more of a head turner and get more second gear rubber out of her than in stock. I would appreciate hearing the pros and cons from someone that has been there / done that. I just want a 'little' street muscle, not anything for the strip.

I want to replace the headers for a power boost. I know just changing the headers will not give more than a 7 - 10 horsepower boost at most. I heard that i could just go to a used auto parts place and get the headers from a R/T and that would give a boost. Has anyone heard of this, or know if this actually works, or would i still be better off buying a brand new aftermarket header?.... Thanks<br /><br /><br /> I'm not looking for just a performance noise factor but real noticeable horsepower gains that is good for towing and also some fun. My truck now has 3:92 gears, auto. Are chips really good? How much h.p. do they really add? A full blown exhaust system-headers and duals, Is this real h.p. or noise factor? How about t.b. spacers are they good?My experience with cold air intake is noise factor not h.p.

Does my bike have a power adder such as a valve retarder like a v-tech in hondas or something that is making me believe the clutch is slipping? i use motul full synthetic double esther factory line motorcycle oil, its the best of the best oil i can get. mods are: k&n air filter, indigo slip on exhausts. i need as much answers as possible, in advance...thanks.<br /><br /><br /> I have an 06 American Ironhorse Slammer.

Thanks.<br /><br /><br /> <br />I'm just asking this cause i wanne know if they still would cover me, not that they ll be like you replaced your exhaust and we cant cover any damages that you did in an accident.<br /><br /><br /> it's a VERY long story, and i'll be honest, i rarely get good answers here, mostly due to the fact that people have no idea what i've done to this bike over the last few months and haven't kept up with the progress. <br /><br /> I belong to a few forums, but there's no one available to answer my questions, so i'm trying here anyway. maybe i'll get lucky. <br /><br />i have a 69 suzuki T125 which is a 2 stroke 2 cylinder STREET bike. <br /><br />it's a work in progress. it was sitting for 36 years before last august when i started rebuilding it. it's obviously not complete, but CLOSE.... real close.. <br /><br />I've never taken it much further than for test rides when i tweak things. <br /><br />yesterday afternoon, it fired right up, i rode it for about 2 miles and it worked pretty much flawlessly with the exception of some backfires here and there when i slowed to a stop down shifting. <br /><br />later that night i went to fire it up. i didn't change ANYTHING between that time. <br /><br /> it DOES NOT have an electric starter BTW. kick start only. <br /><br /> i went to start kicking it and it wanted to fire but wouldn't, and it kept backfiring, going into epileptic seizures and dying. <br /><br />after my leg got tired, i push started it and it wouldn't fire until i started hauling ass with it then it fired up and i slammed the throttle back and it went into worse epileptic seizures and wouldn't stay running, or would act like it was running out of gas and would die. it's got a full tank and the petcock DOES work properly. <br /><br />Here's what it comes down to... i eventually figured out that there is spark getting to the plugs during intake AND exhaust cycles. <br /><br />it's like this <br /><br />cyl1. Big Spark Little spark Big Spark<br />cyl2. Little spark Big Spark Little spark <br /><br /><br />condensers right? <br /><br />i replaced those half an hour ago with brand new NOS condensers i bought a while back... <br /><br /> same problem. <br /><br />i am seriously at a loss, and i really have no idea why this is happening.<br /> <br />it hasn't always done this, and apparently it started doing this just yesterday evening after i rode it around for a bit. and it ran fine until i physically turned it off yesterday.. <br /><br />the entire wiring harness is NEW and i've gone over it with a fine toothed comb at least a dozen times. it's all there and in order, no grounded wires that shouldn't be, no corrosion, NOTHING...<br /><br />What the crap is going on here?? <br /><br />Granted, i took this bike PURPOSELY looking for a project, but, i'd much rather be out riding it today than working on it.. <br /><br /> help?<br />ok.... <br /><br /> so, i've been able to PUSH start it, and as long as i get it going fast enough it will allow me to use the throttle and keep it running, <br /><br /> but, <br /><br /> it only runs if it stays above 1800 to 2000 rpm... <br /><br /> idle is supposed to be 1200. <br /><br /> it dies promptly at 1600 and there's no way to recover from it aside from push starting it again. <br /><br />i put new condensers on and it seems to provide more spark to the plugs now than it did, and given the fact that it actually starts, it doesn't seem like the "little spark" is affecting it.. <br /><br /> but why the hell can't i get it to idle now and can't start it unless i get the rpms high enough ??? <br /><br />it's not the carbs.... it's not the fuel air mix, it'x not the petcock it's not the idle, it's not the alternator.. <br /><br /> thoughts????????<br /><br /><br /> The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson , died and went to heaven.....<br /><br />At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur. 'Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven.'<br /><br />Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, <br /><br />'I want to hang out with God.'<br /><br />St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God.<br /><br />God recognized Arthur and commented, 'Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidson motorcycle? ' <br /><br />Arthur said, 'Yes, that's me...'<br /><br />God commented: 'Well, what's the big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can't run without a road?'<br /><br />Arthur was a bit embarrassed, but finally spoke, 'Excuse me, but aren't you the inventor of woman?' <br /><br />God said, 'Ah, yes.'<br /><br />'Well,' said Arthur, professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention!<br /><br />1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end suspension <br /><br />2. It chatters constantly at high speeds<br /><br />3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble about too much.<br /><br />4.

Every person has a story. Appearances and actions of a person may not be their choice and there may be a story behind it. As humans we constantly judge others. This is a problem that many people have, obviously myself included. It’s a habit to just make assumptions about a person by their actions or appearance.<br />When I was little, my family went into an upscale sushi bar, where most people were dressed in elegant clothing. I loved the swishing skirts of the ladies dancing to the background music. All of a sudden the roar of motorcycles, followed by the smell of exhaust, ruined the perfect restaurant scene. Ten huge motorcyclists walked through the door and sat down at a table near us. They wore mostly leather and their arms were covered in dark colored tattoos. While most of the people moved their seats away from them, I happily toddled over, puzzling over their shiny metal chains. It turned out they were actually pretty friendly and we shouldn’t judge or stereotype people without really knowing them.<br />I believe most people judge from what they see. But it's more like a first impression. You have your base thoughts on this person or book, yet you're not totally closed off to finding out more and changing your opinion.<br />Many people feel that you can tell a lot about a person by observing what they wear and how they look. This is not the case. Choice of clothing and body features might not show who a person really is. Judging people based on these factors is extremely shallow. What we look like might not show our real character, behavior, or even intelligence. One simply cannot know a person by looking at them. <br /> Instead of looking at clothing, character should be the basis for opinion. When we see someone who wears fancy clothing we think “wow what a snob” versus when you see someone who looks poor we assume they must be poor or a bum. Judging a book by the cover isn’t always accurate, just as judging a person by their choice in clothes can lead to surprises as well. Just because someone may not dress as nicely, they’re not necessarily a bad person or even poor. They may dress a certain way just to get attention. This is often the case. One’s appearance can lead to many false judgments. <br />There are of course times when we don’t judge others. Like how our school was able to look beyond Melanie’s disability and elect her homecoming queen. It’s really amazing when people can look beyond one’s image, and judge based on attitude and kindness. <br />When we chose not to judge we become more caring and better people. If we can teach ourselves not to judge we can become better as human beings and rise above all the prejudice in today’s society.<br /><br /><br /> Match 1 <br />#1 contender for the X-division title <br />Beerad vs Jesh <br /><br />A very excellent match up. Both men had something to prove, they wore each other down the whole match. After 13 minutes of back and forth action the two wrestlers seemed even. Jesh hits a dropkick and decides to go top rope! Beerad was playing possum! he jumps up and gets Jesh ready for a superplex on the top rope. But then, out of nowhere, both receive a chair shot to the back knocking them down to the outside of the ring from the top of the turnbuckle! RNW is seen in the ring with a steel chair and a disgruntled look on his face. <br />Winner: No contest<br /><br />Match 2 <br />Knockouts tag team match <br />Winner to face Impact's Aries and DX_Lover to crown the new Knockouts tag team champion <br />Emily and Sandy vs CKO (Clarice and Ms. Lol) <br /><br />A great match all four ladies desperately wanted to prove who is better. With a lot of back and forth action, CKO, seemed to be controlling the pace at this time. With Sandy and Ms. Lol battling it out in the ring, in an act of desperation, from the apron, Emily slaps Ms. Lol in the back of the head. An irate Ms. Lol turns around and hits Emily with a smack of her own. Ms. Lol then turns around and sees Sandy rushing at her for a spear. Ms. Lol dives out of the way and Sandy ends up spearing her own partner off of the apron! Ms. Lol quickly takes advantage of the situation and rolls her up for the 1...2...3 <br />Winners: CKO (Clarice and Ms. Lol) <br /><br />Match 3 <br />Silent Bob vs Shayan <br /><br />Bob impressively dominates the match up. He manhandles Shayan the entire match and eventually hits a huge DDT and decides to end it. One..Two..Three!<br />winner: Silent Bob<br /><br />After the match, he pulls out a pair of brass knuckles and hits him with the Silent Treatment to finish him off.<br /><br />Match 4<br />Women's championship rematch <br />Edgehead (c) vs JamieRKO <br /><br />A very back and forth match up. At one point Jamie almost hits the RKO on Edgehead! Edgehead goes for a spear but Jamie dodges it. Jamie starts to get furious and starts to slap Edgehead repeatedly. Something goes off in Edgehead, she gets a deranged look and pushes Jamie all the way into the corner of the ring, she runs up and starts to puch her in the head repeatedly without stopping! The ref orders her to stop and begins to count but Edgehead continues to punch her viciously. The referee is left with no choice bu to disqualify her <br />winner: JamieRKO by disqualification (Edgehead is STILL women’s champion) <br /><br />Match 5 <br />Tag team match <br />Tag team championship <br />UJ and Rohit vs GB and ??? <br /><br />GB announces his tag partner to be none other then E&C! Former enemies have become partners here tonight! UJ and Rohit looked shocked, nonetheless, the match begins. A very back and forth match GB and E&C work together surprisingly well. UJ attempts to distract the ref but GB goes out of the ring and throws him into the steel steps! Rohit is distracted and E&C hits the Killswitch! he goes for the pin one..two..three!<br />Winners: GB and E&C (New tag team champions!)<br /><br />Match 6 <br />Champion vs Champion <br />TLC vs RNW <br /><br />Another back and forth matchup, TLC appears to have the upper hand until he botches a move landing awkwardly on his arm. RNW takes full advantage and attacks his arm. He gets TLC in an armlock but TLC refuses to tap. He goes up for a Collision Explosion but TLC throws him down to the mat with his good arm! He gets down for a Legacy Cutter! He hits it! he goes for the pin one..two..three!<br />Winner: TLC<br /><br />After the match Bob comes out and attacks TLC focusing on the same arm RNW worked on. Eventually RNW joins in and it becomes a 2 on 1 assault. Jesh then comes riding out on his motorcycle and RNW squirms out of the arena. Bob stares Jesh down but eventually leaves the ring <br /><br />Match 7 <br />Champion vs champion <br />The Final encounter <br />D4L vs Clark (w/Darien) <br /><br />A very competitive match and by far the best tonight. For a full 20 minutes nobody could get the upper hand for long. D4L hits the big boot! He lifts his arm for a chokeslam but Clark counters it into a huge DDT! He goes for the pin one..two..KICKOUT! Clark looks angry and gets mad at the ref, D4L sits up and goes for the chokeslame again he hits it! D4L slowly goes for the pin one..two..KICKOUT! An exhausted D4L looks in anger and disbelief at the ref. As D4l turns around Clark lifts him up and hits a huge FU! He goes for the pin one..two..three!<br />Winner: Clark<br /><br />After the match D4L slowly rises up as Clark celebrates he turns around to receive yet another big boot! DD jumps into the ring and pulls Clark to safety. Darien then gets right in D4L's face and slaps him! They have a stare down and D4L eventually leaves <br /><br />*Be sure to check out both Impact and Smackdown next week!* <br /><br />Cut a Promo! <br /><br />Excuse me! I SAID EXCUSE ME!!! To those who feel the need to have the YWSE posts deleted, instead of being a spineless COWARD and reporting the posts, come talk to me about your problem!<br /><br /><br /> i bought a fixer-upper and the exhaust is rusted. I want to cut it off halfway and just attach some raw pipe to the old exhaust for some cheap pipes. I cant afford new ones. Will this work? If i need baffles how can i make new ones?<br /><br /><br /> i recently let someone ride on the back of my ninja 650 and they were dumb enough to let their foot rest on my exhaust pipe. well their shoe melted to the pipe and now i have a big spot on it. i've tried to get it off with soap and water, greased lightning, everything. any ideas on how i can get rid of the rubber stain?<br /><br /><br /> I e-mailed the NSW RTA, and all i got back was a ridiculous quote from their site saying:<br />"The LAM scheme will allow novice riders to ride moderately powered motorcycles with an engine capacity up to and including 660ml and which do not exceed a power to weight ratio of 150 kilowatts per tonne and are shown on this list."<br /><br />So by this logic, providing that my motorcycle does not exceed those numbers, i can install a turbo charger on my bike. That doesn't sound right to me.<br /><br />Does anyone have an idea of what modifications i can perform on my bike while still keeping it Learner legal?<br /><br />I want to purchase a cruiser and do the following modifications; change the rake, lower the bike, increase the rear tyre size, swap the fenders, install a custom exhaust, change the headlight, change the forks, custom handlebars and grips, and maybe depending on the bike install a turbo charger.<br /><br />I have a thing for custom motorcycles, and this is as close as i can come to legally riding a custom motorcycle on my Learner & Provisional licence. Three years is too long to wait for a nice custom bike.<br /><br />Please, no lectures of any kind. Especially about the turbo charger, i like to keep things legal, I'm not planning on being a reckless rider.<br />I have the cash flow & my father will be helping me with the modifications. If bikes can be built within weeks than i am sure i can modify a bike within a year. <br /><br />I've seen a few people change the rake of their bike, and this is the first i have heard of needing an engineers report.<br /><br />Sorry Aussie H.D. Rider, but your answer is not relevant to my question.<br /><br /><br /> I have a 2004 Yamaha R1 and there is white smoke coming from the exhaust of my motorcycle. I did a compression test to see if it was maybe a leaky head gasket or blown piston ring. The compression test results were normal. All cylinders were at about 180 (it's supposed to be around 210, but the test was done cold). Any idea what the problem could be/ what should I do? thanks for the help<br /><br /><br /> Please don't answer if you haven't done it and had it work out well.<br />My chrome looks bad but the exhaust is still working great.<br />The baffles cannot be removed.<br /><br /><br /> with a full exhaust and with a fender eliminator kit its pretty loud and i am moving to California this year in Washington all you need is to have a exhaust pipe and your good but i am not sure how it is in California and i don't know whats okay to have and not have on a motorcycle<br /><br /><br /> I have a couple but two noticeable ones. one is on my arm when my brother cut me one time when we were fighting. and the other is on my leg when i was riding my motorcycle with shorts on and igot off kind of quick and i backed into the exhaust pipe and well it left a mark. remember kids, if ur riding a motorcycle, dont wear shorts, lol.<br /><br /><br /> hey everyone, before i start i want to say thanks for taking the time to help me out.<br /><br />ok! i have a 1986 Suzuki Savage LS650. Its been sitting in my garage for around 5 years now. I recently pulled it out, washed it up, bought a new battery and put some gas in the tank. The gas stays in the tank without a problem, but as soon as i turn the key and press the start button the gas leeks out of the bottom of my bike? You can hear the exhaust huffing and puffing like its ready to start but it never does, and the gas just runs out of the bottom until the tank is empty. Does anyone know whats going on? <br /><br />THANKS !<br /><br /><br /> I'm nearly 18 now, doing my A2 motorcycle test very soon had a delay due to funding and time as im full time at college, own a Gilera DNA 50 2008 for getting there in the mornings.<br /><br />Had it 'Derestricted' when I was 17, still does really what it did restricted 35 mainly 40 if im lucky, better on hills however.<br /><br />Was let down as i was expecting alot more from people saying "I got 60+ on mine etc etc" but thinking this was all nonsense I kept with it.<br /><br />However, recently a guy at college has a Gilera DNA 50 but an older model, 2002 i think not sure and he was saying how fast does mine go so i said he laughed and said his goes 50-60 flat so I said no way and he let me on it and it does, bare in mind this isn't tuned or anything just a Leo Vince ZX and thats all of the modifications on his.<br /><br />Further research im finding bikes that have been 'ECU restricted' some may have seen videos of derestricting with a gameboy, now im in question has a Gilera DNA 50 have any other restrictions than the variator washer and the exhaust - both have been derestricted by my local dealer - however, they know little of the bike and 50ccs.<br /><br /><br /> I have gsxr 600 2007. i like to paint my exhaust to black with paint sprayer. dis paint is high heat paint with 1200 degree to heat resist. is 1200 degree enough for exhaust? because exhaust is pretty dam hot u know?<br /><br /><br /> I'm at this mx track maybe 3 - 4 times a week.. I'm constantly breathing in exhaust fumes from the motorcycles and all that dirt that gets blown when the track isn't watered down..<br /><br />Is this unhealthy?<br /><br /><br /> My Street a traffic nightmare<br />As it is common for living in the centre of the city, noise, dust, smoke, exhaust gasses and all other sorts of pollution are common companions. However it doesn't have to be that way, what most of older neighbors know from a period in which traffic was not so intense. What will process of continuous replacing of old houses with four, five (or even more) stores buildings, bring us is hard to estimate, but from already gained experience aforementioned problem is getting bigger and bigger with time. That transformation was not obvious on the beginning, but as new buildings start to pop up, first one, than the other... now three or four at the same time, the same old street became narrower, with more cars moving or parked in it. Once familiar faces of neighbors were replaced with anonymous passengers in the hurry who are just passing in pursue of their own affairs. What was once used to be an annoying disturbance, like for example humming and yelling that used to come from backyards of houses or children noise, is pleasant memory compared with the roar of buses, cars and motorcycles. Lack of proper planning and lack of discipline to follow accepted rules and architectural principles are leading us to more and more inhuman and unfriendly environment.<br /><br /><br /> I've got a 2007 Honda 400EX, bought new in November 2008. I've owned several honda racing four wheelers, this is the first I have owned and experienced problems with. From the dealer I followed the maintenance log, run 5 tanks of fuel through it before changing break in oil, as suggested. Changed oil ever since with lucas racing motorcycle oil. Only mods to the bike is a hmf slip on, jetted by hmfs specs, talked with a rep at hmf to get the proper jetting number for my elevation. Now for the problem, it has done this almost from the first tank of gas, after hard acceleration and letting off the throttle it will puff out some blue smoke, as time progressed its been getting worse, it makes me think that its been running to lean and the exhaust valve seals are cooked? Any suggestions? If so would this be hmfs fault?<br />I forgot to ad that it does not smoke when its cold or at start up, only when its warmed up or actually a little hot, which the 400exs are notorious for.<br /><br /><br /> Could too much oil in my motorcycle cause smoke to come out the exhaust?<br />I do not add oil to the gas<br /><br /><br /> I want the exhaust to sound good like a Harley and be loud. I don't want it to sound annoying either, just healthy.<br /><br />What should I get?<br /><br /><br /> I recently received a 'severe first degree burn' from a motorcycle exhaust pipe. Last night my blister was ripped open and now the under skin is exposed and stinging like mad. Should I cover it, leave it open, put anything on it?<br /><br /><br /> i need to know thing such as repair costs <br />pollution from exhaust<br />what parts do cars have that motorcycles dont such as windows and ..... please help<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> so i have a 2-stroke honda MTX 125 and its 1984... when i bought it, it started but had excessive white smoke comming out from the exhaust and it had a serious lack of power only reaching about 30 Mph, i think it could be the crank seals what i want to know is. will the seals cause these two sysmptoms ? and if the gearbox gasket was gone ( by the way the gearbox splits verticly ) would this be the same 2 symptoms ? and is it likely the gearbox gasket is gone... thats assuming there is a gasket seperating the gearbox and crank, as im not %100 sure how it works ,, any help is appreciated .. thanks<br /><br /><br /> I just want to if there is any legal action I can take to stop these people with the exhaust parts that make such loud, irritating noises or similar sonding motorcycles. I lived in an apartment once where almost every night around 1 AM someone would crank up his Harley and rev the engine for minutes right outside my window. Now (different place), its cars with the flowmasters and glasspacks that come out every night and just ride around aimlessly (or maybe they are racing? All I know is that they ride around while not straying too far off). Am I stuck with this?<br />I am working my butt off to get into med school, actually. And who wants to live in the country?<br /><br /><br /> I have got a honda Cm 400t from the 1980's. The bike has been running great since I cleaned the carbs and changed the plugs I've had no problem for about 5 weeks since.<br /><br />Yesterday I was riding down one of our main roads going about 65 when the bike starting dying. At first I thought it was out of gas, maybe a leak, but when I pulled over I found that the tank was half full. So I started it back up and it was having a real hard time idling. It would just die without the choke being at least half way up. As I was heading home the bike sounded different, the only way I could explain it was that it sounded like something was spinning loudly in the engine when I would slow down the RPMS. This sound was not there before it started acting funny. Now on the second day after I changed the oil it still sounds funny and is now blowing 5 times more smoke out of the right exhaust. It seems like the warmer the engine gets the more smoke comes out. If I keep it at 2,000 rpms it just pumps out thick white smoke.<br /><br />If anyone has any ideas or any tips to help me fix this problem it would be great! I am not trying to take it to a shop.<br /><br /><br /> im like 6 foot 5 with my shoes on,so the price and milage is the same,im really looking for comfy fast motorcycle im 271 pound, any other motercycles you know tell me.should i go with a yahama r1 2003 4800 with yoshi exhaust or 2006 r1 with power compresser /yoshi exhaust for 5800..<br /><br /><br /> I have a Suzuki Intruder. It has a Corbin seat (which is hard) and i bought it with an after market exhaust.<br />I suffer from lower back pain after riding for a while.<br />I am pretty sure it is from the frequent vibration that I get from the bike.<br />I wonder if most of the vibes come from the exhaust or this kind of motor???<br /><br /><br /> I have a 69 suzuki t125. <br /><br />For the record, this is a 2 cylinder 125cc 2 stroke motor. (you don't have to pre-mix the oil. it does it for you.<br /><br /> it's rated at about 15hp, and tops out between 70-80 depending on wind direction and if i'm crouched over the gas tank, etc.... in a tail wind wearing tighter clothing and a full faced helmet, i actually got 85 one time on the freeway...<br /><br /> I'll preface my question with this......<br /><br />If i wanted to go 220 mph down the freeway, obviously i'd buy a hayabusa.<br /><br /> That's not what i'm looking for. I would however like to add an extra 3- 5 horsepower if possible to potentially help me keep speed when climbing a hill with my girlfriend on the back. <br /><br />I will say this. I have ridden a LOT of bikes, and this bike handles better than any bike i have ever ridden to date. This includes Ninjas, CBR's, etc. it may not have a high top speed, but i can take a hair pin with no problems...<br /><br /> sorry.. back on topic.. <br /><br />Parts are NOT easy to find for this bike. they stopped producing parts for it 20+ years ago. back in the day, they had lots of performance parts for them, but finding one that specifically fits this bike is going to be nearly impossible... anything i do like exhaust or intake will have to be fabricated and made to fit by hand (which i can do to some extent). <br /><br /> SO... given that, what can i do to make it a little more powerful? <br /><br />For the record also, it's a 6v system... <br /><br />Thanks in advance for the legitimate and helpful answers.<br />hmm.. thanks.... yeah i wasn't sure if the 185 had the same style motor. i think the 250's are different. i'll have to check into that. i would be ok with upgrading it to a 185 if it mounts the same way.<br />-- the t185 has a different style motor that requires it to have a frame under the motor, but like you said, i may be able to make the barrels fit... i'll look into that.<br /><br /><br /> I have a 99 honda cbr f4. What does rejetting/remapping mean when you buy a new slip on or exhaust. Also, is it hard to do?<br /><br /><br /> desperate for full exhaust but interested in all spare parts<br /><br /><br /> Ok, so my husband was on the motorcycle the other day (in shorts) and his leg got burnt by the extremely hot exhaust pipe. So anyway, it was a pretty bad burn at first. This was like a month ago. So everyday he's been cleaning it and putting Neosporin on it and around it to help the itching while it heals. The thing is he broke out in some weird rash all around the burn. At first it looked like a bunch of ingrown hairs, now it's just a bunch of red itchy dots. Any idea what this could be? It's scary and we don't know how to get it to go away. (He is stubborn and says he is not going to the doctor unless it gets worse.) Help?!<br /><br /><br /> Ok, I wrote an introduction to this quesiton that was longer than some books, so I just started over because otherwise I'd never get any answers 'cause the intro was longer than the freaking question itself. I'll try to keep it "to the point", but I have always had trouble with that. I ramble. I'm a rambler and I rant. I'm a ranter, putting in millions of details that have nothing to due with the topic. OK - my dad buys his second motorcycle as he is wanting to get into riding. I have been riding every year weather permitting for 13 year and I know my way around a bike pretty good. I have never owned a harley davidson, only Yamaha's and kawasaki's. The first bike my dad bought was a Kawasaki. He's been taking riding lessons from me for free, and he also signed up for a course at our local community college that is taught by guys who've been riding for centuries, and they'll teach him things that even I don't know. So one day we are driving and there's a sparkling clean sportster (1200 XLH) sitting on the side of the road ("for sale sign clearly visible"). I call the number and offer the guy $3000 as it's a 1990 and has 15,000 miles on it, although the bike is FLAWLESS and loaded with aftermarket shiny things, although all moving parts are stock. He accepts. I tell him that it's actually my dad who is interested and I'll have him call back later. He does, and sets up a test ride (to be performed by me) the next day. We go, I ride (I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS wear a helmet), but I didn't on this test ride because I had to be able to hear EVERYTHING IN THE ENGINE, ETC. So I ride for about 10 minutes and the bike is in such incredible condition I just can't believe it. I report back and dad agrees to buy it on the spot. The next day he pays the guy and get's the temp tag and insures it. Tonight I went down and picked it up. While we were in the guys large and spotless garage, fully equipped with about 10 motorcycles, 3 cars, and 4 toolbenches, I didn't see the expected accompanyment of tool kits. So I figure he outsources his maintainence. Ok. I turn the fuel switch to "on" from "off", and all of a sudden the bike is literally purging the entire tank of gas out of what appears to be a 1/4 inch rubber hose that someone had threaded between those iconic thin metal bars that run vertically from the crankcase up each side of the cylinders. The hose STARTS at the bottom of the air filter, although I don't thing it has anything to do with it and runs up direcly to the "OFF/ON/RESERVE" switch. So I quickly switch it off, and it stops leaking. The seller is horrified because he's already been paid and we haven't even taken possession yet, 2. The bike didn't do this when I rode it the day before, and 3. his dog bit my dad in the ass when he went over to pay him (and my dad is a lawyer, "bad combination of events"). So we spend 40 minutes trying to figure out first of all what the hell that hose is anyway.... Why is it now leaking fuel copiously, and was it originally connected to something else? did it become disconnected? Next I decide "ok, let's take it just outside of the garage, fire it up with the switch on "off", then turn it "on", which we did, and it still pissed fuel all over the ground. By this time I'd removed it from it's previous position up against the base of the outside of the lower part of the block (too hot for rubber hose, obviously), and I'd zip-tied it so it wouldn't touch the exhaust either. Ok, WTF!!!!???? So, in a last ditch attempt to just GET IT HOME, I decided to clamp it off. Between the 2 of us we decided to use a paper clamp (not clip, CLAMP), those black things with the little silver handles to open and close them that can be used to pinch other people for fun at the office. We also screwed a screw of slightly larger diameter than the inside of the hose into the end of it, and...... drumroll... IT STILL LEAKED, SOMEHOW, but to a lesser degree. He followed me home and the performance of the bike was severely compromised. I had to keep it revved at stop signs and it felt like it was missing on one of the cylinders occasionally. SO: WHAT IS THIS HOSE, WHAT IS IT'S PURPOSE, AND WHAT'S IT SUPPOSED TO DO? IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE HOOKED TO SOMETHING? IF SO, WHAT? PLEASE. I WILL RECANT ALL MY YEARS OF RIDING JAP BIKES IF SOMEONE WILL PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. Otherwise, I'm going to have to pay someone to do it and they might die of laughter from how stupid I am that I couldn't figure it out on my own. This bike is beautiful and I'm really hoping that it doesn't reinforce the rumor that Harley's are hanger queens (which is the only reason I hadn't bought one myself prior to this bike). I know that there is someone out there who can answer this in the blink of an eye. Also the oil/filter and plugs haven't been changed in friggin' trillions of years so I'm going to do that as soon as I can get the right plugs for it. I bought a case of 4 cycle bike oil about 3 years ago and I still haven't<br />used it all, so this oil change should finish it off. That maintainence I can do myself, but if I end up having to take the bike to my mechanic to have this hose thing figured out, I'll just have them change the plugs/oil/filter. Well, that about does it. If I remember anything else I'll post an update. Thank you all in advance for your help. I'm sorry I'm such a dumb-ass but this is my first Harley and I'm still basically a Harley virgin so I haven't found the g-spot on them yet. Thx, john in Iowa<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> its about the size of an egg. Obviously not sticking out lick an eg its just round and im very white and my big round burn is very red. Its not dry or anything, but its like kind of bubbled up a bit. I got it getting off my dads motorcycle and i lost my balance and fell off the wrong side and my bare leg(i was wearing capris) met with the exhaust pipe. My cousins wedding is on saturday, just four days away, and I am wearing a knee length dress. Does anyone know a way to minimize the appearance of the burn, or help it heal faster or anything?<br /><br /><br /> Ok, so i recently bought a 1975 suzuki ts 185 motorcycle from a guy that hadn't run in in about 10ish years. i took the carb of and cleaned it, i took off the clutch cover and cleaned the cover andlet all the old oil come out, i washed the gas tank and the oil tank, and the airfilter which i also got a new filter for it. i put all that back together and decided to try starting it. since this was my first motorcycle my dad tryed starting it first to show me really how to do it. he said it would take about 10 or 20 kicks beforeit started. the second time he kicked it it started up. i was surprised since it hadnt run in 10 years but when it ran there was alot of exaust smoke coming out and it was really white, not blue like a normal 2 stroke engine.my dad thought that matbe motor oil was getting pat a broken seal and burning with the gas and oil but the exhaust was white and my dadthough that ment water was burning in the engine too. also we mixed oil and gas then put it in the gas tank because we werent sure if the oil pump was working but i wouldn't think you would get that much smoke from too much oil. if you have experience on this pleasehelp. i really dont want to take the engine apart afterit started up so nicely. thanks<br /><br /><br /> i have a 05 kawi 636, a few months back I put a jardine exhaust, ive been runing it like that but some one told me it might be running too lean, others tell me i need a PC. others tell me its fine... now the FI light went on and i dont know why... anyone know how i can know??.. codes?? how do i know if the bike is too lean?<br /><br /><br /> I have a 2001 Yukon XL and I have had a noise that sounds like a motorcycle is reviving up and gets real loud when push on gas(this is the best noise i can compare it too)its comin from dash it seems,but doesnt do it all the time and now there is a loud grinding noise when i push on the gas and i could only go 10mph. When I stop the vehicle and tried to go again it was fine. It is driving me crazy and scaring me all at once. Please if any one has any idea please let me know. also my exhaust smells like gasoline, didnt know what is going on,.

No more rides from mommy! haha) and a guy in my neighborhood is selling a Civic, which is what I want, I actually found him on Craigslist and here is what he says:<br />This car is a 1992 civic lx with a 2000 d16y8 engine with 125,xxx miles on it also has a naxos exhaust and a shortram intake. The car has two kicker 12s in the back and pioneer speakers all around clarion head unit. It has 17 inch evoke wheels with low pro tires all around. It has a cracked windshield, bad ball joint, needs shocks and a wheel bearing that makes noise sometimes. Car runs good and sounds good<br /><br />By the way I don't know this guy (he is around the corner+)<br /><br />But anyways I know nothing about cars and don't know anyone that does so my question is: how much would this cost to fix? I googled all the different parts but I can't do this myself so I would have to take it to the shop. So an estimate of how much it would cost? And the even bigger question: is it worth it?<br /><br />He is selling it for $2000 obo, I have $4000 and I'm thinking I could get it for $1000-1500 since hes been trying for a month. Also I really don't care about the speakers and would be willing to even give him them back.<br /><br /><br /> If I stay up late some nights, and start to feel exhausted, my legs always have a very sharp ache inside them. All the way from my thighs down. It feels like the growing pains you used to have as a kid. I'm 18, so I'm done growing, and I'm not old enough to ache all the time, but I do. I also have a pretty average active lifestyle, so straining of the muscles or not enough use of the muscles is not part of the problem either, at least not with being unhealthy. I've always had this pain associated with lack of sleep, for as long as I can remember. If I can get myself to fall asleep, by morning, everything is better. <br />But why does this happen the first place? Is it unusual?<br /><br /><br /> I have looked around and have made up my mind that i would rather have it be quick and agile than look good so performance parts only, thanks. I've seen the Greddy EVO2 exhaust kit and like that but i also have been looking at cold air and short ram air intakes. Im kinda new at this but it wont be the first time doing work on a car. Id like to keep it under $700 and if there are any other ideas please share. I'm open to everything. Thanks.<br />I do know the VVT-i 2JZ engine was in the car, that was the main reason I wanted and got it. From what I've herd, I know that it isn't like they took it out of a Supra and into the IS300. The Supra edition was an aluminum block with high performance internals. The IS300 Engine is cast iron and has low performance internals. It is still a very good engine to have. I have also herd that the transmission needs to be beefed up, it has the stock 5-speed auto with the E-shift.<br /><br /><br /> What are some good aftermarket parts for my 2006 Chevy Cobalt LT?

I am only 13 so it may need quite a bit of criticism. <br /><br />What will happen to me after I die? Will anyone remember me for the good and the evil I have done in my life? What is on the other side of death? Darkness perhaps? Or a whole new world full of wonder, those lost friends and dearly missed loved ones reunited with me? These are questions I ask myself as I realize that my life is coming to a close. Although the biggest question of all is...will someone be there to hold my hand as my very heartbeat comes to a stop?<br /><br />Trapped. I am trapped like a bird in a cage in this nursing home. People come to visit me. sometimes I recognize them, sometimes I do not. Perhaps this is because of my disease, Alzheimer's. They have told me it is incurable. Perhaps it will make me die faster. Death would be welcomed by me with open arms at this point. This is a terrible place to end my last moments but no one comes to take me away. Maybe that blond woman was my daughter? Maybe she would take me? The most horrible part of my disease is that sometimes I do not even remember who I am. I do now though. Henrietta Tyme is my name. My past is a blur, unfortunately, but glimpses of it come to my mind at times.<br /><br />The first thing that I usually remember from my past is a man. A man with brown hair and kind blue eyes. Every time I remember him, I feel a pull at my heart. He...seems to be my...father? Perhaps. Next, I remember a hospital bed. With...a woman on it. She looks quite ill and has blonde hair and soft Born eyes like a doe's. In my memory, her eyes are open wide and a stricken look seems to be permanently etched onto her face. Despite this, she looks rather beautiful. My...mother maybe? The third memory shows a younger me, about 25 years old, holding a small child with short black curls framing her heart-shaped face. Possibly my daughter. The last memory, the clearest one of all, is that of an old man. He is not moving and his messy gray hair is flecked with black splatters. Thick red blood is flowing smoothly from him chest like a scarlet fountain. There are men shouting around him, carrying guns. He appears to be...dead. every time, as I am remembering this, my eyes fill to the brim with unwanted tears. He is my husband. Of that I am sure. It is the only memory that I am sure of. I rest my chin upon my hand and let out a long, exhausted sigh. Suddenly, I feel dizzy! Darkness clouds my vision.<br /><br />My eyes slowly open. Beneath me is a hospital bed. That is the first thing I notice. Death is beckoning to me. I can feel it. Many people appear to be in my room. Only one stands out. An old man with gray hair flecked with black splatters. Just as in my memory. He is standing at the end of my bed and no one else appears to see him. His chest has a deep hole in it, as if a knife has carved a hole in it. I slowly get up, but notice that my body does not. I seem to be a...spirit. Death must have taken me by surprise when I was not looking. My hand touches my husbands, a light flashes, and everything disappears.<br /><br />Thank you soooo much!!!! I really appreciate it!<br /><br /><br /> i have a V6 mustang 07 and have an idea of a setup but i need opinions on the pieces and i need mechanical info such as how much horesepower i can expect and if there will be any issues with the setup mechanicaly<br />here is the setup---<br />bbk cold air intake unit<br />bbk 70mm throttle body--uses factory gaskets<br />bbk short headers---will this still be able to use factory pipes?<br />flowmaster single exhaust-- how does it sound?--what is the difference in the regular and the 409 stainless steel what makes it better?? the cost difference is about $60 is it worth it??<br />--iridium spark plugs--will they make that much of a difference?--will they be too powerful for a v6 210hp motor?--will i need a higher performance wiring system to get them to get full potential??<br /><br />also would like to know about suspension pieces if i were to buy any what pieces would make the most difference with the least amount of cost??? strut tower braces? front and rear sway bars???<br /><br /><br /> Ok this is going to be a bit long..I bought a used saturn 1998 sl2 with 90,000 miles. ...and I got it checked out at the local firestone(because I noticed a bit of an oil leak and little rattling noise) and these are all the things they said need to be fixed...These are the prices with parts and labor<br /><br />1.remove and replace valve cover gasket-$322.69<br />2. Remove & inspect f axle shaft-outer boot torn--$386<br />3. loose and belt slippage-remove& replace vibration damper--$260<br />4.Rusted pipes under car..exhaust(from catalytic converter back)--$400<br />5. Timing chain--remove and replace. because there is noise ticking <br />$1,100<br />6.Belts- soaked with oil--$84.99<br />7.Standard brake job-rotors rusted and 80% work. 2 brake rotors. caliper slide service----$314<br />8. Alignment--$80<br /><br />I don't know mechanic lingo--so I don't know if this is already listed up there but he said my water pump is leaking...and that it is minor now but should be fixed.<br /><br />I don't think they are just saying this to get service because the mechanic said its not worth fixing. He said it's worth less than $200.<br /><br /><br />So bascially all of these things in addition to minor things I left out leaves me with $3,340 in repairs.<br /><br /><br />Is this accurate? Can I get this done cheaper by an independent mechanic? Is it even worth it?<br />Ok. But if you read what I wrote I asked --if whether or not I hired a mechanic on the side--would it be worth the repairs? Or...is it like the mechanic said--not worth it?<br />I know prices are all different--but is this the average cost--or overpriced?<br /><br /><br /> At first I thought asking strangers a question like this was weird but I've read some other questions & responses & it seems to help.<br /><br />My husband & I have been married for 3 1/2 years. We have a 2 year old son. I have literally made myself sick trying to make the decision whether I should leave or stay. We are complete opposites. I'm very social & like to spend time with friends, he would rather just stay at home. We had a lot of argument's within the first few months we were married. When we were engaged, one of my best friends asked me to go to New York & told me she would pay for the trip! I was so excited! My fiance (now husband) told me if I went that he would not be there when I came back. I was devastated. I had never given him a reason to not trust me. I know he had been hurt in the past but he was taking out his frustrations on me. There have been many hurtful things he has done in the past. Should I just forgive him? <br /><br />He was never very affectionate during the first couple years of our marriage & I was always the one wanting to have sex, but usually he didn't. This really hurt me so eventually I gave up. I did everything for him & felt like I never got anything in return. He has been more affectionate recently, but I feel like he only became affectionate after he realized I was thinking about leaving him.<br /><br />He doesn't try to be, but he is very controlling & selfish. I rarely go out & when I bring that up, his response is, "We have a child & we don't have time." Obviously there is more to that, but that's the basic response. My friends are very important to me & I know your life changes when you have a child (& my child is my first priority), but I don't think that your life outside your home should end. I work part-time (about 28 hours/wk) & he works full-time (about 42 hrs/wk) & I don't see why we rarely spend time by ourselves or with family & friends. In regard to being selfish: one example I can think of, is when our son was little he had colic, never slept during the day, & never slept through the night until he was almost a year old. I was so exhausted, I never got any rest. I developed post partum depression. REGARDLESS of our work schedule, I was always the one who had to get up in the night with our son. I begged my husband to help & he just said he couldn't because he was too tired.<br /><br />He is also a workaholic & I'm always nagging him about spending quality time with me & our son. I've also told him I feel like he should take more responsibility when it comes to our son.<br /><br />He has a very hard time understanding other peoples views or differences. He seems to think that everyone should think & act like him & have the same interests that he does. He gets annoyed if I try to read a book!<br /><br />I have been seeing a counselor for a few months & I have asked him several times to go. I even told him, during one argument, that if he didn't go, I would leave. He still has not went with me.<br /><br />I now suffer from chronic depression, anxiety & IBS.<br /><br />I know the decision is ultimately mine but, like I said before, this has been such a hard decision for me. And its also a scary decision. I don't want to completely give up on the relationship. Can anyone offer any suggestions or encouragement?<br /><br /><br /> [1] the dawn of romance and the commencement of history;<br />[2] a word that should be pronounced as "mirage";<br />[3] an event, for the upper middle class, is the only adventure left;<br />[4] a very good way to promote civilization - if you get a good wife you will be happy, if you get a bad one you will become a philosopher {Socrates};<br />[5] a process much like a cafeteria - you carefully look over the choices, select what looks the best - and pay later;<br />[6] an event which is called "tying the knot" - unfortunately, the knot can be a noose;<br />[7] a word which always means commitment - but so does insanity;<br />[8] a ceremony favored in England - it's the only way to beat their cold winters and lack of central heating;<br />[9] something that changes the demeanor of a driver - there is no longer any effort needed to keep both hands on the wheel;<br />[10] the only permanent cure for love;<br />[11] is only compatible when the man makes a living and his wife makes living worthwhile;<br />[12] the only adventure open to the cowardly;<br />[13] something which is called a feast - unfortunately, sometimes the appetizer is better than the main course;<br />[14] a group which consists of: a master, a mistress, and two slaves, making in all, two;<br />[15] the alliance of two people, one who never remembers birthdays, and the other who never forgets them;<br />[16] the process that turns a female from an attraction into a distraction;<br />[17] a legal custom which turns a man into the captive audience of his wife;<br />[18] that ceremony which makes more strange bedfellows than politics;<br />[19] a rite where two people, under the influence most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal and exhausting condition until death do them part;<br />[20] occurs where a man gets hooked by his own line;<br />[21] in America, is the only legal method of suppressing freedom of speech;<br />[22] is made out of two toothbrushes but a single tube of toothpaste;<br />[23] is just a three-ring circus: engagement, wedding, and suffer;<br />[24] the process of finding out the kind of guy your wife would have preferred;<br />[25] a condition where no wife gets what she expected, and no husband expected what he was getting;<br />[26] the ceremony which provides a man with something that, sooner or later, he will find he can't blame on the government;<br />[27] a tradition which would suffer considerably if men had to pay the minister the same fee they will eventually have to pay the divorce lawyer;<br />[28] is much like a pair of shears, so joined so the parts cannot be separated, often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who tries to come between them;<br />[29] the continuous process of getting used to things you never expected;<br />[30] a status which depends upon two to be successful but only one to turn into a failure;<br />[31] is a book in which the first chapter is written in poetry and the rest of the pages is prose;<br />[32] a bargain, and a sensible person understands that someone must get the better of any bargain;<br />[33] in Japanese is called "Judo" - the art of conquering by yielding.

I met this guy online(Myspace) about 4 years ago when my current BF and I were having problems. I guess I did it out of anger since my BF had been calling chat lines at the time and I was feeling neglected. Anyways, my BF and I are still together, 8years now, and have moved past his issues and for the most part , have a great friendship. My only problem now is that this guy, who I met online 4years ago, starting texting me recently. He is super Hot and sexy, and I'm really attracted to him in a very naughty way. I basically just want to have fun with him at least once. I have seen his myspace and he dates really hot women. I'd have to say I'm attractive and sexy and have no problems meeting men, however I'm not the Barbi, stripper type girls hes used to dating, or may I say sleeping with. He is also 9 years younger than me. Anyways, the other day we got in this texting phone sexathon, sending pictures and videos back and forth. I sent more than him because he kept telling me how hot I was and he was really turned on by me. I was also really turned on by him and part of me was really enjoying it. I guess my freaky side has been repressed in my relationship due to the issues my BF had the first few years of dating(Long Story) and this guy seems to bring it out in me..<br />Anyways, the only problem now is that after I sent him the last video yesterday doing something I probability shouldn't have and he sent me a pic of him in the shower doing something that I shouldn't say on Yahoo, he just stopped responding. I sent him 3 text after that and literally he just dropped off the face of the earth. All day I was having fun and really turned on by him, but after all that hot and heaviness the fact that he just stopped texting me is making me feel sick. I said )well goodnight then) and still got no response. I figured maybe he feel asleep since he was working all night and was texting with me most of the next day. I'm sure he was exhausted. Well I texted him the next day(Today) giving him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he feel asleep. I mean I know men do fall asleep quit quickly afterward.. Ha Ha and said what happened to you last night and still no response. And this guy is always on his phone. He prob sleeps with it. So I texted him, (I see) just to see if he had his phone with him. I figured it would maybe make him respond. Well it did and he finally texted me back saying Calm Down, I feel asleep last night, probably after he did you know what,and he would text me later. I was kind of taken back at his rudeness.I just responded with (Ok bye). Now I feel like a dumb ass for sending him all him all those pics because it would seem to me that he was trying to give me a hint that he was over it all ready. He acted like this in the past and would reject me, and then I would just forget about him, or try to, and then I would get a text. In the past I just brushed it off, but this time is different since I have never sent him so many videos and naughty pics before. He is pretty Cocky and can be a real a...hole. and the scary part is it turns me on. I feel sick to my stomach and guilty that I even did that with someone I have never officially met. In a way I'm relieved because I was tempted to fly out for a day and see him just to sleep with him(Yes that's how strong my attraction is to him) Yikes!! So I'm happy in a way because I really don't want to cheat on my BF but Sad because I really wanted to meet him and now I feel insecure, maybe he thinks I'm ugly, or didn't like my voice, you know all of the things you feel when someone rejects you. . Anyways, any suggestions on how to get over this guy or fantasy? I can't get him off my mind.. Help!!.<br />I have never cheated on any of my BFs ever but sad to say, have been cheated on by all, even the one I'm with now during the first few years. We have worked on the issues but after 8 years, the kinky sex dies out. And we all know this happens. I guess I'm tired of always being a good girl.....<br /><br /><br /> Now I've heard heaps of those stupid Christian questions! But here there I two I will answer.<br /><br />1# If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes today?<br /><br />and<br /><br />2# If we evolved, why aren't we still evolving?<br /><br />Answers, see this is the part where I destroy those two questions, its so fun!<br /><br />1# There are still apes today because not all apes evolved into humans, just one of the subspecies. There wasn't just one type of ape at one time, research, and archaeology has shown that in just one area there were up to 6 different types of Ape, and only one eventually evolved into humans.<br /><br />2# We mightn't be evolving now because we don't need to adapt to the climate. Now we have clothes, and houses for shelter, we don't need to adapt or evolve any further. Our food sources aren't easily exhausted, and since we developed farming, we have a sustainable food source, and we don't have to chase around after migrating animals.<br />Also, who says we aren't still evolving? Evolution takes millions of years! Maybe in one million years we'll be different. No one knows because it hasn't been long enough for us to evolve any further. Maybe if climate change is real, and the earth changes we will need to evolve further to adapt, but that isn't the case right now.<br /><br />Anyone got any questions, or anyone disagree? Please don't cite the Bible! It is a self authenticating document which was constructed around the 3rd or 4th century AD, and has no scientific backing.<br />I believe Jesus existed but I don't think he was the divine son of God! <br /><br />By the way, I mean that the Bible as it appears today and how it has appeared for the past 1500 years or so. It was changed and mistranslated, and chopped up, reusing bits of history including natural disasters to construct what they now say is Canon.<br /><br />The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah has been proven false. That is in the sense as it appears in the Bible. What actually happened was that there was an earthquake and a landslide.<br />I feel so disappointed in today's society and culture. To think so many of today's people have been fed this garbage...I am ashamed to be a part of this culture. But still there are those educated few who realise I am right!<br /><br />By the way! The common ancestor of Apes and Humans was an ape!!! Or at least something like that which can still be classified as an ape! so pleaaaahahahahaah!! and you did cite the bible, the phrase: how do you like them apples actually stems from the fact that Adam and Eve were enticed into eating the apparent fruit which got them kicked out of the Eden! which was supposedly very good!<br />Actually the Jehovah witnesses who come around trying to convert people have a section in all of their pamphlets which asks those exact questions!<br /><br /><br /> Okay, so I started feeling sick Saturday morning ( it is now Monday). I woke up with a really bad sore throat, and super tired. Like I could barely keep my eyes open! <br /><br />My friend was having a party and I didn't want to miss it so I went there, and was like falling asleep here and there (lol) and a lot of times I would have really strong urges to cough but I didn't want anyone know that I was feeling sick.<br /><br />That night I started losing my voice, it wasn't bad how ever. It just sounded hoarse.<br /><br /><br />Sunday morning, I woke up and had to cough a lot. But I held it. My voice got worse ( I hadn't been coughing though so what was up with that?)<br /><br />Last night (sunday) I went to bed at 9 p.m.! I was exhausted! During the night, I would wake up with snot running down my face (eww, I know) and I would go to the bathroom and wash up. I didn't start getting a runny nose 'til last night, and I wasn't coughing that much.<br /><br /><br />So it was early morning, and I was still getting up every 5 to 10 minutes to clean my face. Then at 6 a.m. my moms boyfriend started getting up ready for work, and I started getting ready for school. I went to the bathroom and my eyes were all red and watery (could have been lack of sleep though, thanks to my runny nose!)<br /><br />I was coughing a lot and I layed back down to bed. When my moms boyfriend left (6:20 a.m.) she came into my room to wake me up. (then got mad at me with the pieces of toilet paper and kleenex all over my floor haha)<br /><br />She layed down with me and I started talking normally to her. And my voice was HORRIBLE!!! Like it sounded like I was whispering, and I would get cut off. I can't say words that start with an R or like the name "Marley" it sounds like -ley. I can't stay the 'mar' part.<br /><br />My head hurts like crap, and so does my chest. It hurts even when i'm not talking. It hurts especially when I breathe in and out or talk.<br /><br /><br />I went back to bed (my mom left around 9:30, she came into my room and woke me up to tell me she was leaving for a doctors appointment) so I fell back asleep and woke up at 12:00 p.m.! Which is pretty late for me, and I'm still tired! My eyes don't want to stay open and my voice is getting worse. My throat doesn't really hurt or anything though.<br /><br /><br /> I didn't have sex, but he ejaculated right by my vagina the week before my period was supposed to come. My period was one week late, for three weeks (starting the day after the ejaculation) I had nausea and pain in my stomach, although it's been better the last few days. The stomach pain was all over- not just lower or upper, and not quite cramps. Sometimes it almost felt like heartburn. Like I said, it feels better now for the most part. My face has broken out more than normal. I only had one day of bad lower back cramps. I feel slightly bloated. I'm tired all the time- exhausted, really. I don't think I'm pregnant because my period did come (just 1 week late), but I'm not sure what to think any more. Oh, and for a day or two I had vaginal soreness/slight pain when touched.<br /><br /><br /> i am looking for performance parts for my polo i don't mean tacky rubbish out of halfords and motorworld i mean like<br /> camshafts,<br />cams,<br />inlet manifolds,<br />exhaust systems,<br />suspension kits <br /><br />because i typed them in many search engine and all they comes up with is webs site with cheesy chrome gear knobs which is not what im looking for<br /><br /><br /> okay, so i have been very, very depressed lately and i have no idea why. my life is going great, i have no bills, relatively no debt (well, none out of the norm...), good friends i associate with regularly, close family; overall i would say i am very stress-free.<br /><br />however lately, for about the past month or so, i have had a lot of difficulty sleeping. my body is completely shot, completely exhausted, but i can't fall asleep - and when i do, it's for maybe two or three hours. i walk around feeling like a drone; everything is a blur, and i am constantly depressed (i've suffered through a few suicides in the [immediate] family, so long story short i know what depression is - not the whole 'my girlfriend broke up with me' variety...), however not even that compares to what i am feeling now.<br /><br />i have no idea why this is going on. it's like one day i am completely fine and the next this starts. i have taken sleeping medications such as nyquil or tylenol pm, and sure it helps me sleep, but i wake up feeling the same way. i feel as though i am really starting to suffer now both mentally and physically, and may become a hazard to myself - not intentionally (ie: suicide attempts, etc), but indirectly and unintentionally.<br /><br />i have lately lost care for everything i once DID care about, and the worst part is this doesn't bother me. am i going through some kind of subconcious trauma?<br /><br />just to get past all of the "you need to see a doctor" comments, i realize this, i just can't entirely afford to spend money at the hospital, running tests, but if that's what it comes down to then so be it. i just figured maybe there was someone out there who's gone through the same thing and may be able to enlighten me.<br /><br />thanks in advance.<br /><br /><br /> READ CAREFULLY! IT'S TRICKY!<br /><br />1975 Plymouth Duster 5.9 360 4bbl<br /><br />Recently, this car has had a head gasket replacement about 4 weeks ago. She ran fine and everything (high revs, small drives). Until tonight where I started her the first time today she started leaking antifreeze through the exhaust manifolds right away! Antifreeze kept spewing out of the manifold to the exhaust clamp. *(no leaks from the manifold to the block).<br /><br />I thought the head gasket blew again or a cracked head. Well, there is no water in the oil, the oil is fine. The temp is normal.<br /><br />*TRICKY PART*<br />Started her again about 10 mins later, NO LEAKS! Nothing! No white smoke from the exhaust and she ran fine. I only let her stay at idle for 2 min. <br /><br />WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED? I am so confused.<br />Remember, she was a cold block and first time started it, it was leaking. So it doesn't need to warm up if she cracked or blew a gasket running cold.<br /><br /><br /> i bought my son a 2004 yamaha pw50 for his christmas and it will be his first bike, Only problem is it is missing the throttle restrictor screw ! does anyone know the part number for this part ? and i also hear the bike can be resticted near the exhaust ? but id much rather have the screw if anyone can help ? also anywhere in the uk where i can get pw50 fairings ? thanx again<br /><br /><br /> Well the reason I wanted to post this is because I've been to a psychologist simply because I needed someone to talk to. I visited her twice, but yet I still felt like I wasn't making any connection. I long to make some connection with another human, but when I spoke with my psychologist. It was just me transmitting and channeling my emotions for her to pick up and analyze. So I stop going after two visits because I convinced myself If I really want to make some real connection and improve my social skills out in the real world. Then, I'll have to manage and practice in the real world. Not in a cold environment where I'm expected to do much of the talking. Now, I don't know what's going in my mind. But sometimes I feel trap in a well of my own thoughts. I hung out with some friends tonight, and I really wanted to have a good time. But I was a bit exhausted since I just got out of work and it was a little late. Yet, I think that I avoid people to some degree. Because I find that much of what's in my mind at the moment doesn't interest them. I'm probably a loner by nature, but I hate this life sometimes. I need to come up with ways to make my situation better. Maybe I just come here for someone to hopefully understand...I don't even have any solid relationship with my family either. I avoid them too. Idk why. And it's the worst part of me that sucking off what should be the best years of my life.<br /><br /><br /> Every time I have sex with my husband, I have these really long lasting orgasms that leave me incredibly tired afterward even after just one. They last on average 1-2 minutes. The worst part is that I usually have more than one every time which leaves me so exhausted that I can hardly move. Is it normal for them to last so long? How can I keep from getting tired after orgasms?<br /><br /><br /> Ok so here’s my question. I’m freaking out a little bit.<br />I had my last period on September 28. I’m on the pill but I had unprotected sex on the 5th of October and again on the 14th. I accidentally skipped a pill on the 3rd because I was sick and throwing up and I skipped another one on the 8th but doubled up a day later. <br />I’ve only had spotting in between periods when I first started which was about 8 years ago.<br />Yet around the 10th I had only a bit of a brown blood stain and thought my period had started, but that was not the case. Yet then again just two days ago I had pinkish discharge and yesterday another brown stain. Since being on the pill for over a year my periods are very regular and come every 28 days and last 3 days. I’ve never had spotting in between like this. <br />I’ve also been extremely fatigued for the past week and a half. I’ve been going to bed around 9 or 10 pm only to wake up around 12 PM the next day still extremely exhausted. <br />My breasts are extremely tender right now and I’m aware this could all just be part of PMS but I’ve never experienced any of this like this before. I took two pregnancy tests which both came out negative about a week ago.<br />Is it possible I’m pregnant and should I wait about a week more before retesting?<br /><br /><br /> How does wind originate and how far can it travel before it is exhausted?<br />I know heat and cold can play a part of it energy source what else adds or takes from it?<br /><br /><br /> I have a bad relationship with my dad. Most of his mind games I can take but lately he's been on my back non stop for the last week. I can't really take it anymore. always trying to pick a fight with me always trying to blame stuff on me all of it. As a result I've only been eating something at lunch and maybe something small around six o'clock. I've been smoking a lot lately [about a pack a day]. I still do my morning walks with my dog then a run and pull up/push ups. I don't really get tired but I feel like and want to keep going but I just feel exhausted and out of breath then if I just keep going i just get more out of breath and exhausted. I loaded a water heater, refrigerator and some other stuff on my truck to junk it by myself I can lift heavier stuff my little brother is about 85 or so pounds and I can hold him by his feet with one hand. but that fridge was like 60 or so pounds and just walking it I got tired. I just can't really take my dad's game and he was pushing me earlier trying to get me to hit him back. I think instead of just waiting around 8 months to join the US Army I might just go to France and try and get into the French Foreign Legion. I already did the math, if I sell my truck and my guns I'll have enough for a one way ticket and a few nights in a run down hotel. not being accepted won't be an option for me. There's just a part of me that wants to leave but another part that wants to stay. anymore I just don't know what I want to do.<br /><br /><br /> While trying to extract a bolt that's broken flush out of the head, I got an easy out stuck inside. It is also broken off flush.<br />It's a 1971 f250 if that makes any difference...

For once I was a part of the minority; a curiosity to the citizens. Though slightly overwhelmed, and certainly out of my element, I was soon able to communicate with and befriend numerous locals using my rudimentary Spanish and various hand gestures. The citizens were more then eager to introduce me to their culture and everyday life, from the authentic food I ate to the hours of manual labor under the ruthless Mexico sun. <br />For one exhausting week, my eyes were opened to a completely different lifestyle, where labor was more prized then possessions, and pride came not from the education or wealth one had, but from simply being a citizen of Mexico. The sheer bliss from such a simplistic life seemed completely opposite to the attitudes of how the people in my community were raised. Coming home from Mexico, I gained a new understanding and appreciation towards people who live life differently. <br />Being a part of the large, diverse student body of the University of _______ calls for a need to be open-minded and respectful. With past experiences in different locations and cultures, I would be able to value all practices and lifestyles of the students; thus, allowing chance for personal character growth. On a grander scale, my acceptance towards the diversity of my peers would project a positive effect on those I encounter, and grant me the opportunity to assume the position of a role model.<br /><br /><br /> I hit a deer about 2 weeks ago. The radiator is dead, and my power steering is gone. Who should I sell it to and for how much. It has a lot of new parts, but really isnt driveable because of the bent in front end. I am looking to get about 500 for it, and was wondering if that was a reasonable amount to ask for??? The engine is good, and it recently got a new starter, brakes, and exhaust system. Thanks a lot...<br />Where do I take it to? if I were to do a google search of places to sell it to, what would i type???<br />At the time it didnt make sense for me to get collision, because I paid 1800 for the car, and would have been paying that amount every 2 years or so for it..<br /><br /><br /> Upon the stairway of despair,<br />Complete with broken love affairs<br />And promises that never came,<br />But faded with a touch of shame,<br />A pretty girl with golden hair<br />And innocence so sadly rare,<br />Strove to keep her head above<br />A way of life devoid of love.<br /><br />Feeling pinned against Life's wall,<br />She chanced upon a robot tall<br />And said, "Please come and share with me<br />Whatever Fate has deemed to be.<br />I'm through with love, done with chances<br />Spirit crushed by past romances,<br />Just be a friend in word and deed.<br />That's all that I shall ever need."<br /><br />"There's not too much from me to learn,"<br />Remarked the robot, in return.<br />"Emotions do not form a part<br />of my cold, solid-steel heart.<br />Whatever maker fashioned me<br />Did not permit my circuitry<br />Responsiveness to love or pain -<br />You're thoughts for me would be in vain."<br /><br />"No matter", spoke the maid.

Not to Minchin the bile trying to escape from my throat when I looked out the plane window, I hated heights. This summer my mom was shipping me off to Montana to visit my aunt and uncle. She made me go so I won’t have a “boring” summer, like they would even know the definition of the word “exciting” or “fun”. My uncle worked as a janitor in and old folk’s home in Bartlesville while my aunt worked as a dish washer at a school for extraordinarily intelligent 5th and 6th graders. I shrank down in my seat and toyed with my curly chocolate brown hair, twisting my head to the opposite side of the plane. My eyes fell over to a teenage boy who seemed to be in a deep sleep. He looked about the same age as me, 16. His features were quite stunning. He wore a plain white tea-shirt with an un familiar logo and denim jeans which stretched to the seat in front of him, classifying him as tall. He had dark almost black hair that reached about two inches below his ear which swooped to one side. The shape of his face fascinated me, it wasn’t square but not really round more like, “Perfect”, failure to realize I had said that out loud, apparently someone heard me from behind. “He is pretty cute, huh?” I twisted my head to the next row behind me. A girl who looked about 15 years old stared at me with a wide grin pasted on her pixie face. Her hair was pale blonde which parted in the center of her forehead and was wavy and long, her icy blue eyes stared back at me with humor. “Well he is”, she stated. The girl next to her fast asleep had “weirdo” written in black marker across her forehead. Black wavy shoulder length hair swept out of her face, earphones in her ears. She caught my eyes and explained. “She put fake cockroaches in my bed”. I smiled at her and chuckled under my breath. She held out a hand and introduced herself, “I’m Violet by the way”. “Nevaeh”, I told her shyly and returned the handshake. “So, she motioned her head back toward the inmate next to me, “You have a crush on him?” she asked with sureness in a husky voice. “Um… no?” I lied questionably. She nodded understandably and calmly parted her lips and pasted a sly grin on her face. “Alright, alright don’t tell me anything but you know it’s true!” she sang in a high pitched voice. I gave her an odd look and twirled my body back to my seat. She said nothing after that. Wanting to listen to some music I stood fully up and walked into the aisle. Grabbing my CD player from my backpack in the overhead I made my way back to the window seat, trying carefully not to trip over the stretched out legs in the middle of the aisle. Failure. <br />My foot caught a hold of the other guy’s leg and I tripped falling onto the carpet with a thud. A sharp pain jabbed intensely on my flesh and a trickle ran down my cheek. I touched it. Blood. Looking down I realized there was a needle resting on the carpet in a slanted upward position. Someone touched my hand and helped me up. It was the boy next to me, now fully awake and rushing me to the plane bathroom. He spoke. “I’m so sorry I tripped you!” he cried loudly. Not finding my voice I stared up, fascinated with his eyes. They were a light shade of emerald green which stared down at me with panic. I shook my head. You’re acting like a drooling idiot! I screamed at myself. Say something! I found my voice and introduced myself. “I’m, um, Nevaeh”. He sighed with relief.<br />“Oh good, I thought you were def or something! I’m Noah by the way, listen I’m really sorry I tripped you!”<br />I rolled my eyes. “Oh please, I could trip over air!”<br />He laughed at that and pulled a handkerchief from his pocket, dampened it and handed it to me. I examined my cut. It wasn’t that deep but there was a hole on my forehead. At least the blood stopped I murmured to myself.<br />“So your alright?”, he asked again.<br />I smiled at him. “Completely”.<br />We trudged out. Violet smirked at me and raised her eyebrows. I blushed slightly failing to ignore her.<br />We talked away halfway through the ride and didn’t stop until he ran out of questions to ask me. My answers were long and with detail, I liked it that way. He asked me about my parents and why my mom was shipping me off to my monotonous aunt and uncle. <br />“My mom went through a divorce and she doesn’t really want anyone to bug her so she sent me off to my aunt and uncles house”. <br />“What about your two older brothers and sister?”<br />“Both of my brothers are in the army and my sister’s 19, she moved out a year ago so it’s just me and my mom. It’s not that she doesn’t want me she just wants to be alone this summer. I hope she gets a date soon.”<br />He reassured me that she would and he patted my hand. I wasn’t exactly sad<br />or anything, but it felt good. Pretty soon he fell back asleep and so did I. I curled up a ball and let myself fall into a dreamless slumber.<br /><br /><br /> I thought I had both mortgages through Indymac bank that's who I pay. I have been out of a job since 6/08 and had my first mortgage modified (lowered interest from 6.5 to 4.25%). I wanted to see if they would lower the interest on the 2nd mortgage since that % is at 9 and I am really struggling to pay that one. Cutting the interest in half would help me tremendously. I am not looking to extend the loan just lower the %. I was told that I could not that the investor doesn't modify loans. I told them that it was them (Indymac) & they said it wasn't. It was a big to do that they couldn't "tell" me who was the investor that I had to send in a letter. I finally get the response & the letter basically says that my loan is part of a pooled private securitization they service & that are frequently traded & could be owned by a private investor or several investors.<br /><br />How do I go about getting the interest lowered? Who are these people? Anything I can do about reducing this loan? I know a lot of banks are helping families with hardships. I am not looking for a handout, just want to reduce my interest rate like so many other people have been able to. I can not refinance because I bought my house at top dollar & the house does not appraise for that amount. The only way that I got help the first time was to default on the loan, should I default on the second & see if these "investors" contact me? I explained the situation to Indymac & they told me I could do a short sale which sounds crazy since they would be losing money (and I pay my first loan without a problem) & if they would only lower my interest rate I could make the payment without a problem since it would be about half the amount.<br /><br />Any suggestions would be appreciated. If you are going to tell me to work in Mcdonalds or something like that please don't respond. I have 2 children under the age of 4 and with the price of daycare and working at Mcdonalds I wouldn't be able to afford the daycare. I live in NY and there aren't many jobs. I worked for over 16 years at a company that one day we went in & said "today is your last day we are closing our doors" this was without warning. All of my savings for an emergency has been exhausted at this point. I don't want to lose my home, I just want to reduce my interest rate. I have even heard of some people having their second mortgages excused. I just want my interest rate lowered. I realize I borrowed this money & owe it back to them.<br /><br /><br /> My Husband is 38 and I have noticed a pattern with his moods. He can be fine for about two weeks to a month. Then he has what seem to be an episode that can last the same amount of time. During these episodes he starts out with calling me names out of the blue and with in a day or two he is agitated and constantly mad at everyone in the house. The kids included. He also shows signs of depression after about two days. He wants to not help with our two youngest children or even go to the store. I leave him alone about not helping because it has become a pattern of yelling if I ask for his help and the kids don't want his help when he is acting like this. His behavior final goes to a point where he is argumentative and yelling constant. All I can do is stay out of his way as much as possible, but even that will not keep him from looking for me to yell at. My husband smokes, but he doesn't drink or do any drugs. He drinks about a pot of coffee a day. He also takes tylenol often for head pain offten. I have notice during these episodes he seems to take tylenol more. some times about four times in a day. He also seems to have trouble breathing at night and says our room is to stuffy going to the sofa for a few hours to clear it. He also eats like he is depressed. He will eat a whole bag or two of chips in one night and countless other junk food despite me cooking a full meal. <br />What I want to know is if my husband is Bipolar, going thru his midlife crises or just an ass who want to show he is sometimes. I raely yell at him I mostly keep my complaints to myself or talk to him about problems in a normal calm way. He says it is me making him act like this. I have changed countless things that he said I do that bother him, but none of those changes fixed his mood going up and down. <br />I have tried to talk to him about his behavior and maybe see a doctor to make sure it isn't something serious. I have told him that plenty of normal people has mood problems and that it doesn't make him nuts if he does. A doctor could tell him if it is a health problem or a mental disorder. Either one can be helped. He refuses to go and says there is nothing wrong with him. I have watched him over the years and done countless things to make him happier, but none work. I know his patterns when it comes to his mood changes. Sometimes I feel it is unbearable to deal with another two weeks to a month of him yelling at every little thing that happens in life. He yells if I can't get a bottle or a diaper in a minute flat. We have six children and I can not be everywhere at once. I try to get everyone need met as soon as I can including my husbands , but there is only one of me. I can only do it as soon as I can not any faster. When I am at home alone I manage without feeling over loaded for the most part, but when he is having his mood and at home it seems that I am pressured to do more then is humanly possible. I really want the calm man to be around for the most part. I am exhausted of the constant roller coaster of normal then screaming. It effects the kids lives to a point where our oldest daughter who is 9 will say daddy is having an episode again. I will help you mommy, but I would rather go to my room and read if you want me to help daddy. I normally tell her to go to her room and I will deal with it. I feel like I need to protect all our children from him when he is like this. Not because he would hurt them, but because I don't think it is right for him to yell at them for just being. <br />I know none of you can really tell me what is wrong with him. Only a doctor can do that. what I would like to know is what you think the problem is and how I can deal with his behavior. He is my husband and I am unwilling to leave him when I made the promise to be with him for the rest of my life so that answer will not help. He also won't go to the doctor to get help so any thing that might explain his mood swings and how to better deal with the situation would be help full. thank you.<br />In response to many questions about the siduation. He works inspecting houses. It is not what he went to college for. He went for finace, but we live in a small town that does not have many jobs for him. He gets lots of exersize and isn't over weight. Due to the small town and me being from Thailand I have no support here in the US to have communiy support. His family is here though. What would be a good question is how do you get a man to go to te doctor that refuses to go? I really want him to be happy with life and for the family to be happy also.<br /><br /><br /> Cheap?<br />I want to Purchase another vehicle to modify. I have 4000 saved up. I've looked at some cars online, and am thinking about getting a Honda CRX Si to rebuild. But I'm waiting for a fresh rust free one to come my way to avoid spending money on just "cosmetics".<br />I'm mostly thinking about just modifying a car to be a sleeper. I currently just drive an '89 Civic 4 Door. its the balls with only 30k on it. But its already slow. And its an auto. Its rust free besides rear panel. if any one interested. ha ha.<br />But I'm interested in also looking outside of Honda.<br />Im currently saving up for a Nissan Skyline. But wow. That's a heavy price.<br />So whats within my 4000 dollar budget, that I should take a look at?<br /><br />I won't be doing any Visual mods, other than maybe some cheap Enkie rims or something. and exhaust. but otherwise, will be strict interior and under the hood. Also going in are Some subs. If the car you mention has room for some stealth subs, that's a bonus. I'll be pickin best answer too.<br /><br /><br /> I have a 2006 vw jetta gli it has about 82,000 miles on it. There is a rattle coming from the exhaust. My dad thinks it may be a faulty hanger but i had my driveshaft checked because it was part of the recall...it was back to me within 30 minutes. I was wondering if the rattle could have anything to do with the driveshaft? Or if anyone was having this problem...its a really annoying noise and i hate hearing it. I didn't want to take it in just yet because to look at it is 100 dollars so anyone with the same problem?<br /><br /><br /> Hi, <br /><br />for about 6 years (since 8th grade), I have had severe head pressure only right when going to sleep.. <br /><br />I lay down every night to sleep (at the same time) and it is only in certain areas and it only is like on a vein.. It's not my sinuses because its not near the sinus areas.. and if i lay on my right side the pressure is strong on my left side (vein) of my head and vice versa... <br /><br />It's gotten really bad to the point where it takes me 60 min to finally fall asleep (even when I'm exhausted).. <br /><br />I do have a bump on the upper back part of my head (very small, but my doctor said the bump could have been from where i cracked my scull in the past or from birth..) <br /><br />I dont know what to do because I've gotten an MRI on my brain before and nothing showed up.. and it's really bad, <br /><br />I also get dizzy and feel wierd (head-wise) a lot. <br /><br />Starting in 8th grade I also have often felt like my head is swaying when I'm sitting in class.. <br /><br />Any doctors or knowledgeable people have any advice? <br /><br />THank you a lot!! I'm going to book an appointment tomorrow because it's taken me 3:30 to fall asleep tonight and I cant! <br /><br />THanks..<br /><br /><br /> If he hasn't touch me "down there" after 12 dates/4 months should I run away ?

I got it wen i had a leaky noise 4 about a week. As i was getting ovr it strange thoughts filled my head and i felt very exhausted. I thought i was getting ovr the infection. About 2 nights later i spent the nite at my grandparents. I woke up that morning and discovered i had started my first period. It was ovr fast but i still felt weird. After an other few days i talked 2 my mom. She told me it was me changing but i told her about my sideffecrts and she Took my to the doctors. At time i wood feel very dizzy and confused. He diagnosed me with mono. and yes the blood check was right i had mono. He also told me about my period being part of it. So day after day i felt miserable until around the end of august. I started feeling well. The mono symptoms were going away. As i went back 2 school i still felt those weird thoughts but i was glade 2 feel Better. 1 day i was laughing really hard wen every thing became slow and bubbleish i made my way 2 the class room. I started freaking out i was so confused. my friend took me down 2 the office 2 call my parents. she called my parents and i went home. My mom took me 2 the doctors again. this time he told me 2 drink more water but besides that its was my mono effects hiting me again. Now its been about 3 weeks but still i feel this way. I understand the emotional stuff cause of my period but why do i still feel weird like im in a bubble and at times ever thing seems cloudy i like ...think every single possible thing trough like wen i will talk wen i will eat...i think think think!!! Like wen i use my 5 senses i feel things carefully, i chew my food and think about it as i do....it weird and hard 2 explain.

For example, in 'mermaid's scar', did the boy(masato) already know if the person who gets to eat the flesh will become a beast, or immortal, or simply die?<br /><br /><br /> Well, I'm writing a romance story. And I need some ideas on how the girl can turn into a mermaid in the first place. <br />I would appreciate it if you dont tell me spells, because she didnt wish to become a mermaid. Infact, she didnt believe they existed.<br />So is there a cool, interesting way that my female character can turn into a mermaid without my readers drifting off.<br />thank you, :)<br /><br />Danielle.<br />Right,well the girl transforms into the mermaid. <br />And she didnt want to be one, so it cant be that she did a spell or anything. <br />It HAS to involve moonlight, because thats when she turns into one.<br />also later on in the book an evil girl also turns, so try not to do anything like she visits someone for it:)<br /><br />ttfn.<br /><br /><br /> I've tried many spells and it just wont work. I've even tried Morphleg spell. Please help!<br /><br /><br /> I cant make up my own mermaid spell so can you help me? and the insouciant spell why cant you say it while your dry? and also is there another spell i can say that wont take a long time to become a mermaid and when i touch water i turn into a mermaid and i have powers?<br /><br /><br /> ever since i was a little girl i have always wanted to go to Cordon Le bleu to become a pastry chef. its a college in Paris. i know that will never happen well at my school i can go to a magnet school for high school and i love theater i am a part of it at school and i am in the play the little mermaid. so im stuck with 2 high schools Las Vegas Academy for theater and choir the other is South Western for the chef. any help?? please??<br /><br /><br /> if youknow how to become a mermaid canyou tell me how <br />and no stupedthings<br />thzbtyl<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> If for the strangest reason you were transported to a fantasy world and you had to change who you were, what would you become?<br />-Unicorn<br />-Mermaid/Merman<br />-Vampire<br />-Dragon<br />-Elf<br />-Werewolf<br />-Mage/spellcaster<br />-Griffen<br />-Pegasus<br />-Ogre<br />-Fairy<br />-Or, do you just hate fantasy all together??<br />If you want, you can explain how you would look<br /><br />Me:<br />I would totally be a spellcaster, i always did and I always will!<br />I would probably be much taller than I am now (5' 7'') with long straight brown hair and blue eyes.<br /><br /><br /> I ask this because in the song, Poor Unfortunate Souls, there are several instances. For one, when Ariel turns away from Ursula's grotto, Flotsam and Jetsam both say "This way." with smirks on their faces. Another instance is when Sebastion says "No Ariel!:. Flotsam and Jetsam gag them to be quiet. And one eel looks like they are victorious about it. And, when Ariel is about to sign the contract, Ursula goes "Flotsam, Jetaam, now I've got her boys!" They look at Ariel to see if she'll sign it, and then they look happy after Ursula says that.<br /><br />Why is that they like it when merfolk, preferrably mermaids, turn into polyps or sign the contract?<br /><br />Also, when Ariel is becoming surrounded by the contract, the eels look triumphant.<br /><br />Please answer.<br />Yeah, but why do they specifically want ARIEL to turn into a polyp? I meanm, if disney stuck with hans christian andersens ending, and she turned into a polyp, and triton forgot about her, why do they like to see her as a polyp?<br />To Rin731. If they adapted it to be almost exactly like Hans Christian Andersens, but kept their idea of polyps, why would the eels like ariel turning to a polyp?<br />To Maggie: I dont care if its a kid's movie. I know many adults who still watch it! All I want to know is why Flotsam and Jetsam want to see ARIEL to turn into one of those seaweed polyp thingies.<br /><br /><br /> any materials<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> its about a boy who was left on a boat as a baby by his mother who was a mermaid, as he becomes a teenager he finds out that he can do stuff just like a mermaid, until he gets in the water an grows a tail. if anyone can help please comment. thanks.<br /><br /><br /> its about a teenage boy who was put on a boat as a baby by his mother who is a mermaid. as he becomes a teenage boy he starts to find out that he can do stuff that a mermaid can. until he goes in the water an grows a tail. if anyone can help please leave a comment.<br /><br /><br /> ...the Cullens should be replaced with zombies or mermaids.<br /><br />There are lots of fun things I could do with both of them and I have a different plot set out for each of them. (Because, even though it's a parody, I just can't stay with Meyer's plot. I get so bored of writing the staring-into-each-others eyes thing after awhile, you know?) <br /><br />With mermaids: (This plot follows more closely to the actual Twilight book)<br /><br />The Cullens are from the piranha clan of mermaids and rarely come up on land to feed. When water pollution and shortages of food become a problem, they decide to give land-living a try. Once Bella finds out Edward's terrible secret (He's a mermaid! OMG!), the two quickly fall in love. Lots of lovey-dovey stuff, blah blah blah. Then, during a game of Mermaid Marco Polo, some rivaling mermaids from the stingray clan decide to show up and play. One ends up being a hunter, chases after Bella, tricks her, stings her. Edward and the rest of the mermaid Cullens show up to save her and kill the James Ray. Obviously, getting stung by one of these things isn't gonna turn Bella into one, but it would be incredibly painful and she'll be knocking at Death's door. Edward has to suck the venom out in order to save her life, while also trying to control himself from feasting on her. (He IS a piranha. It makes SOME sort of sense.) Yes, in the end, they go to Prom. End of story.<br /><br /><br />With zombies: (Strays a little more away from the original plot.) <br /><br />Carlisle is a witch doctor and has brought his beloved deceased wife and the rest of the Cullens back to "life" over the years using some nifty voodoo tactics. Because they are risen from dark magic, the Cullen zombies are fairly docile, though they fight to control their appetite for raw flesh. If they bite a human, they create the ravaging, brain-craving zombies that we're more accustomed to. When Jasper accidentally loses control, he sets off a zombie invasion on Prom night. Bella, Edward, and the rest of the Cullens team up to stop it. There is romance in the weirdest of circumstances, between some good ol' fashioned zombie slaying. With this plot, Bella could become a zombie and live forever with the Cullens, but Edward would have to kill her first. <br /><br />Which one should I do?<br /><br /><br /> I recited this spell:<br /><br />Insouciant inclemency<br />Redoubtable mediocracy<br />Refutable humanity<br />Make me what I wish to be<br />A MERMAID….....<br />Witches one and witches all<br />Give this power to me<br /><br />I said this ten times in the bathtub like you are supposed to and now I am a mermaid!!!! Let me tell you that it is very very hard to type with webbed hands (I had to cast a spell on my keyboard to make it work!) and as I have a tail instead of legs, I can no longer urinate or deposit feces into the toilet. I can also no longer have sex, so I had to break up with my boyfriend who wanted to marry me once I graduated from college!! I can no longer satisfy my body as I once could. <br /><br />I can't live outside of my bathtub because my scales get itchy when they are dry and I don't have any sort of lagoon or pool to flounder about in since I live in a small apartment in Oklahoma. It is urgent that I turn back into a human by next week since that is when my period comes and I get cranky. My roommate can no longer shower since I can't leave the bathtub and I am failing all of my classes since I haven't gone in a week!! I am dead serious about this, please don't laugh at me! Please give me the cure for mermaidism! If no cure is available, I would like to know if anyone can transport large half-fish from a landlocked state to the gulf of Mexico for free, since I have no money because I can't go to work since I don't have legs.<br /><br />It is truly an embarrassing thing to have gills on the side of my neck. When I go to an OU football game, I find that people always stare at me and it becomes awkward since I have to bring the tub with me. I used to be an OU cheerleader, but then I was kicked off the team because I can't do a double backhandspring since I have no legs and therefore no leg muscles.<br /><br />Please, I just want to get my life back on track! Or maybe start over completely new, in the ocean.<br /><br /><br /> Ok please tell me a spell that REALLY works i have being trying to become one for a year ive tried alot of stuff and no luck... so i know some people might say "they dont exist" please dont i mean seriousely its so not nice... its like me saying gos doesnt exsit you have seen mermiads have you so you actually dont know if they exsit... so just please dont be negitive about this<br /><br /><br /> Are these people bored and get a kick out of seeing the answers like ' you can't become those things'?<br /><br />Are they morons who accept the existence of these things?<br /><br />Are they under 8 years of age?<br /><br />There is no evidence suggesting the existence of any of these<br /><br /><br /> it's a book i read in eighth grade. im pretty sure the girl's name was emily. she lives in the woods with her mom and this little nervous (but scary) ghost comes to visit her at night and eventually leads her into the woods where she finds this lake thing that she falls into and gets chased by this white scary but pretty monster mermaid thing into another lake in another world. then when she gets out of the lake, there's a door and she opens it and ends up in the underworld where everyone goes when they die. then she becomes friends with the ghost and they go off on this big adventure and they meet a bunch of dead monster things and they're all friends and she's trying to find out how to get back to her world. if this matters, she gets these like, present things along the way and one is a black cape with stars on it and she wears this leotard thing because she's trying to be like this superhero. oh, and she has a black cat that like, runs away and she has to save it from the ghouls or something. and she goes to this big city palace where she has to pretend like she's dead so she can sneak in. and there's like, these bad guys that are chasing after her the whole time. there is also a second book to it and in it i think she goes to some deserted carnival. on the cover of the second book, she's on a tree or something and she has her cape on and her cat is right next to her and the carnival is in the background im pretty sure. does anyone know what it's called?<br /><br /><br /> hi i was wondurng if i could become the sea crab and be a mermaid well cause mermaids are rare and i want to be rare to everyone but i try spell and it dont work so wat spel should i try to do cause this dont work well with mermaid and sea crab. help<br /><br /><br /> I wanted to be a mermaid!<br /><br /><br /> hey yahoo i was wondering if someone could give me a good merman/mermaid spell cus its my dream to become one i know it sounds kinda weird but all of us have a dream and mine is to become a merman so if you could please leave Ur comments that would be great thx xoxo bye bye<br /><br />~please don't leave mean rude comments thank you~ :DD<br /><br /><br /> am killan from singapore..i lover mermans from young....so i want to be a merman ....is there a easy way to become one or ani spells......<br /><br />Plss don tell me mermans or mermaids are fake or not real...i believe in them ..and for me they are real....<br /><br /><br /> Alright, when I was younger (during the early 90's) I had a few versions of Hans Christian Anderson's Little Mermaid. So, Ill list things about the books that I can remember and perhaps you can help me find the edition I used to have, because I'd like to buy it again.<br /><br />So the book(s) had: <br />- A palace made of shells on one of the introduction pages <br />- The evil witch who takes her voice is a green eel with a castle made of bones. <br />- The Little Mermaid goes to her grandmother in one scene who gives her bubbles/pearls to put in her hair. <br />- The the scene where the prince goes to marry the girl he's met, they are wearing old victorian dresses. <br />- The Little Mermaid is the brides maid, and there is an illustration of her crying from under her veil as the prince marrys the other girl. <br />- The Little Mermaid becomes an angel at the end <br /><br />Thank you<br /><br /><br /> i am killan from singapore..i lover mermans from young....so i want to be a merman ....is there a easy way to become one or ani spells......<br /><br />Plss don tell me mermans or mermaids are fake or not real...i believe in them ..and for me they are real....<br /><br /><br /> ive bin looking everywhere and i want a decent spell that can turn me into a mermaid and simple that is effective and no mean comments please. even if it is not so simple i want one really badd!!!!!!!!!!! i really wanna be one!!1 so plz help me!! and plzzz nooo mean coments i know i supposedly crazy but i want to achive my dream and if i can tcant idk what im gonna do if i dont get to do this.<br /><br /><br /> It makes you wonder is fairy’ tales are more for adults than for children. When I was a kid I honestly did not read fairy tales I was not allowed. Just think hansel and gretel they kill the witch in an excruciating way. ‘’They throw her into an oven, till she burns to death’’! wow, that’s pretty gruesome no one would read them to me as a kid.<br /><br /><br />Then the classic versions that are real are even worse than that! Like sleeping beauty really about rape, the classic story is, original one. Yet Disney changed it to a child’s story originally older French ladies with abusive husbands wrote it. Disney really sugar coasted sleeping beauty. <br /><br /><br /><br />The version of this tale that most of us are familiar with ends with Riding Hood being saved by the woodsman who kills the wicked wolf. But in fact, the original French version (by Charles Perrault) of the tale was not quite so nice. In this version, the little girl is a well bred young lady who is given false instructions by the wolf when she asks the way to her grandmothers. Foolishly riding hood takes the advice of the wolf and ends up being eaten. And here the story ends. There is no woodsman – no grandmother – just a fat wolf and a dead Red Riding Hood. The moral to this story is to not take advice from strangers.<br /><br />The 1989 version of the Little Mermaid might be better known as “The big whopper!” In the Disney version, the film ends with Ariel the mermaid being changed into a human so she can marry Eric. They marry in a wonderful wedding attended by humans and merpeople. But, in the very first version by Hans Christian Andersen, the mermaid sees the Prince marry a princess and she despairs. She is offered a knife with which to stab the prince to death, but rather than do that she jumps into the sea and dies by turning to froth. Hans Christian Andersen modified the ending slightly to make it more pleasant. In his new ending, instead of dying when turned to froth, she becomes a “daughter of the air” waiting to go to heaven – so, frankly, she is still dead for all intents and purposes.<br /><br />In the tale of snow white that we are all familiar with, the Queen asks a huntsman to kill her and bring her heart back as proof. Instead, the huntsman can’t bring himself to do it and returns with the heart of a boar. Now, fortunately disney hasn’t done too much damage to this tale, but they did leave out one important original element: in the original tale, the Queen actually asks for Snow White’s liver and lungs – which are to be served for dinner that night! Also in the original, Snow White wakes up when she is jostled by the prince’s horse as he carries her back to his castle – not from a magical kiss. What the prince wanted to do with a dead girl’s body I will leave to your imagination. Oh – in the Grimm version, the tale ends with the Queen being forced to dance to death in red hot iron shoes!<br /><br />In the original sleeping beauty, the lovely princess is put to sleep when she pricks her finger on a spindle. She sleeps for one hundred years when a prince finally arrives, kisses her, and awakens her. They fall in love, marry, and (surprise surprise) live happily ever after. But alas, the original tale is not so sweet (in fact, you have to read this to believe it.) In the original, the young woman is put to sleep because of a prophesy, rather than a curse. And it isn’t the kiss of a prince which wakes her up: the king seeing her asleep, and rather fancying having a bit, rapes her. After nine months she gives birth to two children (while she is still asleep). One of the children sucks her finger which removes the piece of flax which was keeping her asleep. She wakes up to find herself raped and the mother of two kids.<br /><br />This fair tale is a little different from the others because rather than sanitizing the original, it was modified by the original author to make it more gruesome. In the original tale, Rumpelstiltskin spins straw into gold for a young girl who faces death unless she is able to perform the feat. In return, he asks for her first born child. She agrees – but when the day comes to hand over the kid, she can’t do it. Rumpelstiltskin tells her that he will let her off the bargain if she can guess his name. She overhears him singing his name by a fire and so she guesses it correctly. Rumpelstiltskin, furious, runs away, never to be seen again. But in the updated version, things are a little messier. Rumpelstiltskin is so angry that he drives his right foot deep into the ground. He then grabs his left leg and rips himself in half. Needless to say this kills him.<br /><br />In this heart warming tale, we hear of pretty little goldilocks who finds the house of the three bears. She sneaks inside and eats their food, sits in their chairs, and finally falls asleep on the bed of the littlest bear. When the bears return home they find her asleep – she awakens and escapes out the window in terror. The original tale (which actually only dates to 1837) has two possible variations.

ANd what are some of the funniest answers/questions you've seen?<br />No Offense to people who do this stuff!<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> no fake or stupid answers! and not saying they don't exist because they do!<br /><br /><br /> This is a joke question obviously and I noticed a lot of people doing questions like how to become a mermaid... *COUGH* *COUGH* SO... I wanted to do one. However I am shrinking which is a bit weird... I have no idea why either. The only thing that isn't shrinking is my boobies which is pretty big... Even my FEET are shrinking!!! I don't know bout my height though...<br />YES!!! Midgets are FRIKEN AWSOME!!!! Would anyone normal size have sex with a hot midget though...<br /><br /><br /> Me and my friend are trying to become mermaids and we cannot we need help!<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I have this odd memory of a movie or show I watched once or twice in the early 90s, and I think it aired on Nickelodeon. It was live-action and about a boy falling in love with a mermaid. From what I remember, and I kid you not, the boy ended up putting on a pair of enchanted shoes that I remember being high heels, walks into the water, and becomes a mermaid.<br /><br />It could have been reversed (girl falling in love with a merlad and putting on shoes), but for some reason I remember the boy putting on the shoes.<br /><br />Am I the only one who remembers this?<br />If not, could somebody please tell me the name of it and where possibly I can buy a copy or download it?<br /><br />Thanks!<br />It isn't the movie "Splash."<br />It isn't the movie "Splash" or the one about the boy turning into a mermaid when he's 13. I've seen both of them and neither has the issue with the shoes.<br />If it is the movie 'Splash,' and I'm not remembering right, in what part of the movie do those shoes take place?<br /><br /><br /> hi, what expansion pack do i need to become a mermaid and also so that my teen sims can become pregnant???<br /><br /><br /> I'm combining the fairytales Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Snow White, The Princess and the Pea, and Rapunzel and making all of the heroines know eachother. They're fighting against the mean girlfriend of Eric, all of the girls' Prince Charming. And they all want him.<br /><br />Cinderella, or "Ella" is the romantic dancer, who lives with her cruel stepmother and stepsisters. She sneaks out to go to the spring Fling, where she leaves a glove purposely, hoping that the hottest guy in school, Eric, will find it and fall in love with her. Instead, he puts it in the lost and found.<br /><br />Rapunzel, or "Rae"is grounded for the dance, but her best friend, a guy named Aaron, rescues her from her bedroom. She becomes Spring Fling Queen but gives up the crown when she realises that Aaron is so much better than Eric.<br /><br />Arielle is a champion swimemr who has just moved from the coast of Austrailia to the center of America. And she's won the heart of her swim-teammate Eric, but only if she quits the team and stops showing him up.<br /><br />Snow White, or "Sky" lives with her seven brothers, and is pretty tough about it. But not just her ankle breaks when Layne and her get into a girl fight- and Eric just sits and watches.<br /><br />Sleeping Beauty "Rosie" has an illness that causes her to fall into a deep sleep when she hasn't gotten enough Vitamin B. And being on the Spring Fling planning committee, she forgets to keep track of everything, and none of her friends can wake her up in time for the Spring Fling (and neither can Eric, much to her disappointment)- until Layne shows up.<br /><br />The Princess adn the Pea "Layne" Layne si spoiled and selfish. She grew up with a rich father because her mother died when she was six. Since then, she's driven away all of them and bottled up her emotions. But when she meets Fiancee no. 5, she loses it, and realises Eric really isn't a great guy.<br /><br />The moral is that Fairytales don't come true. Prince Charming isn't going to sweep you off your feet. And even if he did, it wouldn't be the end to all your problems. But that doesn't mean that you can't still be happy.<br /><br />What do you guys think? Good story? It'll switch Points of View- from each heroine, and Layne. The Spring Fling will be around the end, but the next day will be when most of the girls realise Eric isn't that great.<br />Sorry about all the spelling mistakes.

They were both talented artist that uses a unique way to create their artwork. The two artist I visited were Susan Adam and David Alan Boyd, They were both friend and wonderful artist to talk to. In both of their artwork, There wasn’t a specific or a favorite element for the artists, They both try to most of the elements and balance. <br />The first artist I visited was David Alan Boyd, I was pretty impress with the design of his art studio. He told me it was a garage before and how he constructed it into his art studio and I thought that it was very creative for him. He started painting since he was a little kid, Art has always become a major part of his life. His mom was a musician and his dad was a architect. He mainly focus his artwork in water coloring using common depth and richness, There were two painting that I absolutely loved. The first one that really caught my attention was named, “ Sausalito Harbor”. It was a digital photograph on water color paper and a reflection of boats in the water of Sausalito harbor in Martin County, California. This painting shows a peacefulness in the water. Boyd used mainly texture and color in this painting. With the almost exact same type of elements, Boyd created “ Waimea Gardens Hawili” also using water coloring .However, I noticed that He also used intensity to make the Hawaiian flowers stand out more with the dullness in the background and the bright color of the flowers. Boyd’s style of artwork were beautifully balance but yet it remains a sense of uniqueness in a way that there’s possibly no words can describe it. <br />The second artist I visited was Susan Adams. She’s a full time artist who enjoy painting all genres such as still life, abstraction, landscape and figurative. But before Adams became an artist, she have spent many years of her life as a senior animator and background illustrator. She also stated that Art is not her hobby, it’s a living to her and it has always been a part of her. There’s a lot of things that Adams like beside Art such as reading, Gardening and even writing poetries. One of my favorite painting that done by Adams was “Cherries Jubilee". It was the type of painting where color have come into a major roll to shows which direction the sun was reflecting on the Cherries. Also, This painting reminds me of the apples that we have once painted in class. It was almost the same except that this painting was uses much brighter colors. <br />These two Artists both really amazed me because they both have a desire and true passion in art and it really shows how much of a true artist they really are. I love how they have mini art studio in their house where they can paint and enjoy in whatever they are doing in there.

Although my current school's LDM program is pretty good, I wont be able to become a licensed Landscape Architect with a LDM degree and NC State has a great Landscape Architecture program.<br /><br />As I mentioned, I'm in the process of doing the application, but unfortunately I'm stuck on the starting personal statement.<br /><br />Although this portion is optional, it just seems like a good idea to write one anyway.<br /><br />They also ask:<br /><br />"Discuss any obstacles and/or hardships you have encountered and how you dealt with them."<br /><br />"Describe the reasons you have chosen to enter the major that you selected previously in this application."<br /><br />and<br /><br />"What is your view of diversity and its importance in education?"<br /><br />And like the personal statement, I'm stuck on starting.<br /><br />Any tips?<br /><br /><br /> ok so im not good in drawing but i do know how to use the computer to make drawing.....what shoudl i know like...do i have to be good Biology??<br /><br /><br />or should i become a Architect?<br /><br /><br /> I’m going into my senior year of high school and have had my mind set on going into Architecture, literally, since Elementary. My parents noticed that I had an eye for designing and building things such as houses and buildings since I was a toddler. I have been involved in architecture organizations, related classes, and met with people in the profession, etc, and love everything about it. After meeting with the director at an Architecture school for several hours, I now question whether it is really what I want to pursue or not because there are so many other aspects of design that I like. By talking to her I realized I not only loved designing the buildings themselves, but I also have a passion for what surrounds it, such as streets, boulevards, and how they are planned out, and what makes that area look nice, etc. I pay much attention to what areas look like and how they are planned, and she took that as me maybe being more interested in Landscape Architecture, which I do not think I would enjoy at all, but also Urban Planning, which I have thought about doing before. I enjoy learning about the demographics in areas and trends and what areas are lacking and what aspects they are good in. My goal was to become an Architect/Developer someday because it gives me the best of both worlds, I think. I also have had somewhat of an interest in Marketing which is completely in a different ballpark. Does it sound like I’m on the right track? Are there other professions that I might want to look into? I’m overwhelmed because for once in my life, I’m unsure about this.<br /><br /><br /> I am going to be a second year student at university. The first half of my freshmen year I was studying to be a historian (with intentions of teaching) and over Christmas break I decided to switch my studies to becoming a Landscape Architect. I dont what I should be doing. I have always loved history and being able to teach others about it would be amazing. Also, I have always enjoyed gardens and design. What do you think I should do? What do you think the pros and cons are of each option? Thanks!<br /><br /><br /> i have master in horticulture from a foreign country.i live in chicago .how can i become a Landscape architect?<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Hey there,<br /><br />Hoping there are some landscape architects out there to answer this!<br /><br />I have a BSc Ecology and have been thinking about going back to university to train to be a Landscape Architect. But in doing my research into the profession, I keep coming across articles which say that landscape architects must be excellent at communicating verbally as they have to give a lot of presentations to clients and be able to get across their ideas well.<br /><br />I was very shy when I was younger and am still pretty quiet. I get on well with people and I think I can communicate well (I've worked in retail, call centres etc) but I still hate giving presentations.<br /><br />In your opinion, is this something that should really make reconsider becoming a landscape architect?<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br /><br /> I want to become a landscape architect, but I'm having thoughts that they are other careers similar.

I have run into a problem though. I want to become a landscape architect, but I can't find out what I should take in High School to help me out. Is there anything specific I should take in High School that will give me a higher advantage in architecture. Also, which do you think would be a better school for landscape architecture, University of Florida or University of South Florida. <br /><br /><br /> We live in the state of California...

How would he go about getting his Landscaping Architect's License and a Landscaping Business License? Please help! (this is for Christy's question and answer) I believe its for both his career and the money… thanks!<br /><br /><br /> <br />Im 15 and im getting good grades in school and ect. but i really haven't found out what i want to achieve in my life. I have thought about becoming a surgeon and i have even studied about it...but this is what i truly want...I want to be powerful(not the bad kind)..i want to change how the earth looks as in architecture/infrastructure... not just the way buildings look but the landscape and color ( i hate the fact that we use boring dirty colors in everything!) of the general world..in a way mold a culture..i consider my self a architect/futurist/culture molder LOL!<br /><br />what would that translate out to be vocational wise? I obviously love intellectual things and ect! so plz help :) <br />when i say cultur molding i do not mean it in an evil toalitarian way :)...<br /><br />i mean it as in shaping how we act towards one and other through technology and regular society<br /><br /><br /> I got my bachelors in Studio Fine Art and would like to become a landscape architect. I do not have any real experience in the field, but i will be taking a CAD intro class at the local community college to better my chances of getting into Grad School as well as a GRE study course. My question is, should I try to get a second bachelors in landscape architecture or will it hurt me when trying to find a job? My GPA from school was 3.1 the last sixty hours and I am still struggling to write my letter of intent for Grad school. I'm not even sure if its that good, seeing that i don't have a whole lot of experience. So would i have better chances of getting into a BLA program or a MLA program? Also if any one could tell me how long it takes to get a second bachelors it would be a great help. <br />Thank you! <br /><br /><br /> Architecture seems to me like a highly enjoyable profession. This is what I want to become, but I also want to be nearly guaranteed at least 40k over the median income of about 60k a year. So, if you attend a top school that is not only known for its overall acedemics, but also for its architecture program in specific, get your master of architecture degree, and become a general home designing architect (not landscape) at a prestigeous firm, is making over 100k pretty much guaranteed or not? Please tell me what steps I could take to make sure I have a very good chance of making good money and being successful in this field.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Does anyone know if UofL or IUS or any other schools in the Louisville area have a program to become a landscape architect?<br />John Dillweed, I don't want to become a landscape architect, I want to see about hiring one cheap or maybe even free for a senior project). Way to jump to conclusions though. Dumbass.<br /><br /><br /> my husband wants to finish school and become an architect. I always thought that they made a lot of money, but im not really sure??<br /><br />Does anyone know how much is average for an architect ( like for homes, not landscape)<br /><br /><br /> What's the difference between a landscape designer and a landscape architect? Also, how do you become a landscape architect/landscape designer?<br /><br /><br /> I am positive I want to be a Landscape Architect; however, I have only average math skills. I excel in Art class and know I am capable of the drawing aspect, but if I am getting C+ and B- grades in high school math, will I be able to pass the math requirements for a BLA degree?<br /><br />I think that my desire to become a LA would help me buckle down and focus on the math courses.<br /><br />Lastly, I am thinking about getting a Bachelors degree in Urban and Regional Planning, then getting a three year Master's degree in Landscape Architecture, as opposed to the five year BLA. I know Planners and LA's usually work together, but I like the idea of having two separate degrees. Sorry for how long this is. Any help from a LA or LA student or an Urban Planner would be appreciated. Or anybody who know's anything about the field.<br /><br />Oh wait, I'm not done. I have researched this question so giving me websites probably wouldn't be helpful, since I have probably been there before.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Our political arena has become much like our penile system, we're trying to punish AND rehabilitate and we're doing neither one very well. Our political landscape has come to a cross-roads of some sort. Whether it leads to some form of socialism or utopianism or fascism seems yet to be determined.<br />On one hand, you have the Liberals, who believe that things like healthcare, minimal housing and food should be the right and privilege of ever citizen. The also believe in the spirit of entrepreneurship and a commitment to excellence. Liberals believe that if a person doesn't have to scramble just to exist, then they will be called to personal excellence.<br />Then there's the Conservatives. They believe that people who are unable to support themselves are the architects of their own demise. Conservative religious views and a weighty interest in the world of Finance are guiding forces among many of them. They see themselves as the backbone of the World, and in many ways they are correct.<br />I recognize that they have provided a Structure that created a Global Economy, wobbly tho it is at times.<br />I'm a Liberal, so I can't really speak much more to the Conservative point of view.<br /><br />My point is, can we serve the needs of both groups and do it well? Is there a serious third option that doesn't involve bloodshed?<br /><br />We need to bury the hatchet before the hatchet buries us.<br />Ya see? That's EXACTLY the type of thing both sides can come to the table and learn about each other. Call me an optimist, but I believe in the win/win scenario.<br /><br /><br /> Basically, what classes should I consider? And, (at this point in my life), I have to start out in a Community College, which does have a few architect classes to get me going, but would that possibly "extend" my schooling? <br /><br />Please and Thank you! =)<br /><br /><br /> What's difference between Landscape and Licensed architect?

Thank You.<br /><br /><br /> I have seen a lot of designs, but don't know what makes one stand out above the rest.<br /><br /><br /> I am currently enrolled @ the University of Texas at Austin and I am going to major in Architecture. The degree teaches me how to design buildings on a large scale and small ones such as residential housing and sets me up to get licensed to be an architect to work in an architect firm. But I want to open up my own custom home building business, not work for a firm making a measley $50,000 a year. Does anyone know how I can become a entreprenuer in building custom homes. I want to do everything, such as laying the foundation, framing, designing the building, and landscape. What do I do to make my career dream come true? Please, only knowledgeable inquires only.

A world where your leaders care more about their career then the people who elected them. ...<br /> I was under the impression my phone was being tapped by activating the mic. I run a business and I talk about very important business info so I need to understand how this stuff works. When it first started I would get spoofed emails to my blackberry, with headings denoting what I said in the last conversation on a daily basis. For example I was in the car talking about the roman god misra and my friend Quinn, and then got a spoofed email from Misra Quinn. At first I didn't tell anyone and would just unplug my battery. Recently I found out my suspicions were right. There is a cell phone spy program for 100$ called Flexispy that allows someone who has that software installed in a smart phone to call your phone and either tap your calls or remotely activate your speaker while your phone apears off. I read that they send the program to your phone in a hidden text, and that it remains invisible. Once activated your phone becomes a walking bug. How does it work? Why doesn't the number they call from daily to activate the software show up on your phone bill? Why do the hours that they listen to you not show up on your phone bill as a call, considering they have a line open? Does the program in thier phone hack directly into my phone, or does it hijack some phone company server in between my phone and the hackers phone? Tell me everything you know. I am sure many other people all over the world could benefit from understanding the technichallity of this nasty spy program. I hope one day it is illegal to produce or posess such a program. I am not one for strict laws but this is sick, and could be dangerous. Also is there any way to catch the scumbag doing this?<br /><br /><br /> firstly, sorry this is so long.<br /><br />i barely even know where to begin with this...<br /><br />i'm just feeling so numb and low at the same time, i want to commit suicide but i know i can't because my family and few friends would be sad.<br /><br />all my life i've had problems with people, i was bullied on and off and i developed severe anxiety and self consciousness which impaired my daily interactions with people. i've never been very good with meeting people or talking to them. i find social interaction especially difficult. right now i only have about 4 people who i'd want to keep in touch with, but i know that's better than nothing...<br /><br />i hear voices daily, the other day this was happening for 6 hours solidly. luckily i was in the psych hospital at the time so they could talk to the doctor and up my meds (i take aripiprazole 20mg now). these voices offend me, swear at me and tell me to do things. <br /><br />when i go outside now, i panic a lot. it's like a constant state of fear that i'm in. the voices say that the spies will come and get me and kill me. but i panic generally too, not just because of the spies. i can't go out alone... i have to hold onto someone's arm and even then i don't feel safe at all. my house is the only safe place.<br /><br />i'm also really worried about my speech and thoughts. you can see one of my past questions for more info but basically my thoughts become muddled and i can't get out what i want to say. this morning the crisis team came to see me and i spoke and a load of gobbledegook came out, it was really weird. this happens on and off, obviously it's not happening now or i wouldn't be able to type this.<br /><br />i'm also feeling sometimes incredibly empty and very tired. i don't feel like washing or anything, i have no interest in that. i have no interest in anything. i feel like staring into space for hours or sleeping all day.<br /><br />i also just want to cut my arm. today was the closest i've come to suicide. i thought that i'm finished fighting, i've been a fighter my whole life but now it's just time to give up... i feel i have no emotions, they only pop up sometimes.<br /><br />i have recovering wounds on my arm from where i tried to cut an infra red chip out my arm that the spies are tracking me with. also just general cuts.<br /><br />the crisis team today said they are not going to come round again (they've been making daily visits) and are going to leave everything to my cpn<br /><br />my diagnosis so far is psychosis, dysthymia and an anxiety disorder.<br /><br />i guess my questions are:<br />1) what do you think about my situation?<br />2) do you think my diagnosis' are right?<br />3) what is happening to my thoughts and speech?<br />4) what shall i do now?<br />5) any other comments or advice<br /><br />thanks, no stupid answers please<br /><br /><br /> I asked this question already but never got an answer.<br /><br />It's about a young woman, in her twenties, who is looking for her father. She finds him, eventually, but when she does she also finds out that he is in a shady business and in order to join the family business she has to become an assassin. Before her father finds out that she is trying to find him, she gets a job working in his office as a secretary.<br /><br />Other than that I remember that there were three other people working for her father; an older man, a young woman about her age and a guy a few years older. <br /><br />Other small odd details I remember-<br />She was constantly hiding from a guy she went out with thinking he was stalking her, later it turned out she had his PDA.<br />She met the guy that works with her dad while playing paintball, she beat him. Then later when going to see her dad she met him again. So when they find out she was listening in a conversation they think that she was stalking him and they almost kill/torture her thinking she's a spy tell she tells her dad that she's his daughter. <br /><br />Her dad is open with her being in his life and seems glad to have met her but he doesn't want her being an assassin he wants her to have a normal life and refuses to give her a job until she kills someone on a golf course with a mascara cross bow that was given to her by the woman that her dad works with<br /><br /><br /> I have a friend and lately he has become very withdrawn he spends little time with his family<br />and spends most of his time on his pc.<br /><br />Until recently I noticed that he had been writing down alot of things to do with numbers and underlining words in newspapers and drawing things that make little sense. Even telling me that he thinks that one of the tutors he knows at college is working under MI5 to kidnap and is spying on him.<br /><br />Ive become really worried because a comment where he said that he thought that hes from a different planet and was lost as if hes part of some alien fantasy coz he thinks that aliens are trying to communicate or find him and get him back to where he belongs.<br /><br />And he dosen't talk alot he finds it hard to interact with people especially at college where he goes off on his own all the time and if he sits in the canteen he looks like he is in his own world and blankly stares into the distance not joining in.<br /><br />What could this be? should he see a Dr?<br /><br /><br /> Obama – are you listening???<br /> <br /> America, Canada , all Europe ..... needs a President like<br /> this. <br /><br /> Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia <br /> Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told<br /> on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government<br /> targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror<br /> attacks. <br /> <br />Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on<br /> Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the<br /> nation's mosques. <br /> <br /> Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.

I have only had one boyfriend, and that was my junior year of high school. He was also my first kiss. I am in no way unattractive nor am I a beautiful cheerleader.<br /><br /> Here's the back story: I've known this guy (let's call him Brad) since my freshman theater class. "Brad" is 3 years older than I am, making him 21. He has his moments and he can always make me laugh. I liked him for a little bit my freshman year. He graduated and I noticed that he kept coming to the theater performances that I was partcipating in. My sophmore and junior year he was there and after wards he would pick me up and throw me over his shoulder. <br /><br /> Then, my senior year in high school...I was a student assistant for my theater teacher. I went to a performance of Beauty and the Beast done by a Theater 1 class and I helped with tickets. "Brad" showed up and stood next to me while I was selling tickets and giving out programs. He told me that he was there to see his sister perform. He waited until the play was about to start and then he went inside. We talked a little bit after the play was over and then left it at that. <br /><br />Then, the next semester...I had a class with "Brad's" sister. We didn't really become friends until the day after performance. On performance night, there were 3 shows going on. The 1st involved his sister. I walked in late and saw him sitting there. Then, a little bit before the 2nd play started he turned around, saw me and came over. We got to talking and then I had to leave to do lights and sound for play number 2. After which, I had to go and change for my part in play 3. After the show, I was talking to my parents and "Brad" stood to the side of me waiting for me to finish so I could talk to him. After my parents left, "Brad" and I talked in the theater until the teacher shut off the lights. We exchanged numbers and then went outside to say goodbye. We ended up talking for about 2 hours. We talked about crazy stuff we did and he picked me and threw me over his shoulder once again. <br /> "Brad" started texting me and ultimately he texted me wondering if we could go to the movies "just as friends" with our mutual friends Jacob and his girlfriend at the time Sheila. I agreed. Jacob and I figured out the details and I informed "Brad". "Brad" informed me that he would not be able to go because his friends would be coming into town from college. I had his sister spy for me and she said that he was in his room all night playing Halo. I got pissed and I didn't text him back for about 2 or 3 weeks. It was a friendly, "Hey, what's up" text that changed it all...the reply I got back was "just chillin' with my new girlfriend. she doesn't really like me talking to girls that obviously like me." He said this to me after he told me he didn't want to date because his last girlfriend screwed his best friend. I cursed him out and the only time I heard of him is when I would receive forwards from him. Ultimately I didn't talk to him again. Until...<br /><br />A few days ago, I was on Facebook before the football game and he im'ed me and asked how my school year was going. I im'ed him back 9 hours later and told him. I asked him when he was going to be back from Wisconsin. He asked me "why, is it because I wanted to see him". I said in a very sarcastic tone that yes, that was the reason. He said but of course and then asked me if that when he gets back from Wisconsin whether I'd like to go to the movies with him. I said yes.<br /><br /> We've talked now a few more times. The first few days we talked for hours until the wee hours of the morning (like from 10pm to 545am). I've invited him to come and visit me up at college.<br /><br />Here's part of my epedemic...I am a virgin, he isn't. I'm not sure how many girls he has been with. He usually talks a lot about sex and what he would want to do to me. He said I had a hot body and stuff like that. And, when the conversation is not about Sex, it is a very short cnverstain<br /><br />I just don't know if he likes ME or just wants SEX.<br /><br />HELP<br /><br /><br /> this happened last year (when i was in 8th grade) but its still bothering me. anyways, im 14, and last year, a new girl named jessica started going to my school and she was in my grade. about a month after she started going to my school, this nasty girl in my grade named sarah, started a rumor that jessica was pregnant. jessica wasnt pregnant...sarahs just a mean girl who talks a lot of crap. for some reason, my cousin whos in 11th grade, heard the rumor and told my mom, which makes no sense because neither of them even know jessica. after a few months, i became good friends with jessica and started hanging out with her, just around school, not outta school. my cousin saw me hanging out with jessica and she told my mom. my mom FLIPPED. she said that jessica was a slut and a scumbag, and she doesnt even know who she IS. to make things worse she had all these kids SPY ON ME and go back to tell her everything, and she called the principal and told her not to let jessica near me, but the principal said she couldnt do that. one day when i came home from school my mom started screaming at me she was like YOU WERE SMOKING IN THE BATHROOM. i asked her why she would think that and she said my coat smelled like smoke which is so untrue considering i never smoked a cigarette in my life, and jessica didnt smoke either. my mom said i had to stop hanging out with jessica or else my mom would go to the police and go to jessicas house and yell at her parents. the worst part is i never did anything wrong? i never smoked a cigarette, never drank, never did drugs, i get good grades.<br /><br /><br /> Is this all my fault?<br />im 19 years old it all started in the end of 2004 when i was 14 yrs old i met this guy karl he was my best freind i really liked him we used to always talk and all an then he told me that i wasnt his type anyways he gave my number to his friend nader and same thning happend but he was different he still hasnt talked to me after 5 years..anyways hes freind hemat stole my number from his phone and started calling me and ever since then we were on and off friends and have been fighting and pranking eachother and talking behind eachohers backs..anyways he hooked me up with his friend ali and he was sooo nice to me heeven warned me about hemat so did everyone else and also people warned me about him but then he himself broke my heart so bad i still feel it he did so many hurtful things to me i was so vulnerable with no frieds or anything so i went with other guys who all tricked me and hurt me n used me ..and then i met my friends mahd and sam and Hamd and we were really close friends we used to joke and do everything and they wernt mean to me ever and everytime i was with them or if i was with or talking to any guy hemat would call me asking if i liked them he knew everything about me it was almost like he was spying on me,,then i stopped talking to every guty and me n hemat became close we became the best of friends we were even secretly seeing eachother behind everyones back ..and i remember one day he called me an asked me if i liked him :( withoutt thinking i said to him man ure my best friend... :( i didnt mean to say it..anyways <br />then we saw eachother again once more then he never invited me to his house:(:( . then on tuesday he told me 2 call him wen i rang he told me he did not want to talk 2 me anymore and not to bother him:(.the way he said it was very low and fuzzy almost liek he didnt mean it i was so upset, i kept messaging him asking him who had ruined my life and who was giving my number out b4 because people told me it was him and thngs had gotten very ugly he then admitted everything to me and apoligized i just wanted to fix everything because i was scared to get hurt again anyways and then last night he messaged me with the picture of soli the guy who i was talking to which is my freind an he was like did u have better than dis n today i messaged back saying why did u send me that an he goes to me im leaving :( and i sed forever an he said dno maybe..and then i told him not to beacuse i really liked him an all<br />an he goes okay i g2g den... :( i dno how i feel im so numb atm it is so hard i knew him for 5 years but i guess its the way i look that made him run away i dno why do guys always do this to me<br /><br /><br /> Okay, hello again all! I've been working on some historical fiction, and I just don't find that Chapter One is as captivating as I desire it to be! So I was hoping some of you might be able to give me some constructive criticism and tell me where I can improve... oh, and all the character's names are subject to change, especially the protagonist's. Thanks in advance!<br /><br />Here:<br />CHAPTER ONE<br /><br />Willow Greve was not particularly tall, though she had never considered it to be a great trial of her life until that very moment. It was awfully hard to jump, she reflected with a slight furrow in her brow, when one was bedecked in a great many voluminous skirts and a restricting corset. Huffing in frustration, she combed back a wayward tendril of dark hair and attempted, for what perhaps might have been the third or fourth time in a row, to reach the back of the luggage rack in the dimly-lit compartment that was rocking steadily with the chug-chug-chug of the old steam engine.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Not that she'd ever be caught doing such a thing in public, of course. Willow shuddered to picture her great-aunt's scandalized expression were she to spy her nephew's sixteen-year-old daughter doing anything other than what was featured in Madam Breckinridge's Cardinal Guide to Becoming a True Lady of Distinction, which she claimed to have recited off by heart. The old woman was dreadfully doctrinaire and old-fashioned, and Willow could not have been gladder to have waved her off at the station for what very well may have been good.<br /><br /> <br /><br />You see, the primary reason Willow was trying to get a hold of her suitcase -- which, during a tremendous jolt of the carriage, had rolled to the far back of the hold -- was because she'd been growing rather tired of sitting alone in her compartment and of having hardly anything to do. She'd grown steadily keen on the idea of settling down with a captivating novel for the remainder of the journey, but such a plan was apparently easier said than done and the sudden revelation that she was at least half-a-foot shorter than what the situation warranted was quickly disheartening her.<br /><br /> <br /><br />The Allford Express was roughly halfway to Hertfordshire, East England. Having spent the vast majority of her sixteen years in the bustling haute monde region of London, Willow didn't really know what to expect of the backwoods. The idea to have her sent away to an exclusive boarding school in the isolated countryside had been her manipulative great-aunt's, but do not be fooled into thinking this was an act of great consideration. Ever since the late Mrs. Greve had passed a little over a year earlier, Willow's father had grown steadily reclusive, spending the vast majority of his days locked away in his study with nothing but a typewriter and a full flask of brandy. Great-Aunt Esther had taken it upon herself to move into their regal townhouse and make sure Willow was invited to all the right social gatherings and balls, as well as host her own cotillion debut. She had recently decided that the daily schooling lessons taught by Willow's respective au pairs were simply not enough, and had taken no heed in enrolling her at one of the most prestigious boarding schools in all of Great Britain.<br /><br /><br />...<br />so there it is! Oh, and I'm a month shy of fifteen if it counts towards anything.<br />Note: it is incomplete, only the first section of Chapter One if you were wondering. It does get more interesting, I promise!<br />Kcarp, that is amazing! Do you mind terribly if I borrow that sentence, maybe edit it a bit? And yes, the name Willow is very unfitting... but I can't find a name that I like. I may just settle for Aurelia or something for now :)<br /><br /><br /> You gotta love Robin Williams........Even if he's nuts! Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan. What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message. <br />Robin Williams' plan...(Hard to argue with this logic!)<br /><br />'I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan.' <br /><br />1) 'The US/ UK/ AUSTRALIA will apologize to the world for our 'interference' in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those 'good 'ole' boys', we will never 'interfere' again.<br /><br />2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting withGermany , South Korea , the Middle East , and the Philippines . They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.<br /><br />3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are from. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.. <br /><br />4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.<br /><br />5) No foreign 'students' over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a 'D' and it's back home baby. <br /><br />6) The US /UK/Australia will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while<br /><br />7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.) <br />8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not 'interfere.' They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.<br /><br />9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.<br /><br />10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us 'Ugly Americans' any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH..learn it...or LEAVE...Now, isn't that a winner of a plan? <br />'The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?'<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> My wife and myself have been married several years, and since getting together have battled through most days, we dont treat each other right, there is no respect. She has continued to spy on my via going through my emails and phone to try catch me out in lies under the preconseption i was always going to, accused me of having affairs i havent had. Because of this and many other reasons we drifted apart, and became more like enermies than partners. Coming home everyday was like walking on a minefield having to watch what i said in case it was the wrong thing and caused a row. Anyway a good few months ago i became friends with a female colleague. Friends turned to flirting and then something more happened and we crossed the line into an affair. At the begining, this lady wasnt even the type id go for and wouldnt have dreamed in year this could happen, but now i see nothing but beauty in her and cant imagine being without her.<br />After we started to "see each other" i felt so guilty i came clean with my wife who said we could work through it, if i stopped seeing her. This i tried but after being in a hateful relationship for so long the appeal of actually getting on with someone was too strong and so i told my wife i was leaving and moved out.<br />Its not been easy moving into a new place but the relationship with the new lady is fantastic. its such a releif being with someone who doesnt judge your every word and understands me. i no long feel like im walking on eggshells everytime i go home, its just nice easy and relaxed and i throughly enjoy her company, were alway going out together, where before i never with my wife due to fear of an argument all the time. (and when we did go out, bingo theres the argument....)<br />Anyway it had got to the point where its time to sell the house and put in for a divorce, but through the last couple of months my wife has been in contact, we have seen each other and talked and we have got on quite suprisinlgy well (which i put down to not seeing alot of each other) she wants me to come home, and we have talked about all the things we have both done wrong. She wants to put them right and try again. Now im torn between actually doing this and trying again in fear that it wont work (we have done this before and broke up when no other women was involved) again, and loosing out on the chance i have now with this new woman. a relathionship that is currently better than anything ive been in before.<br />Ive not said i blame my wife for everything, in fact through disgusing it with each other we have found alot of thing we BOTH could have done better, i know i could have done a lot more to have helped, but i gave up..<br />(funny how alot women always jump on the offensive instead of just reading and trying to help).<br /><br />being an adult about it and trying to work it out, happened last year.. and the year before that. And last year we agreed if we didnt sort outself out it was the last chance. Ok this time i started to see someone else, but i was fed up of arguments and having a set of rules I had to abide to but that they didnt count for her. I didnt go looking for an affair. But it happened, and im trying to deal with Doing the Right Thing (trying again with my wife as i think after all ive put her through she deserves for me to go and give it a go) or following my heart.<br />My wife and i have been married 5 years. We got back together after a break of 10 years. (we were too young then and had issues then too, same of the above but no affair) She suffers with insecurity issues always had, which is why we split 10 years ago. We re met through circumstances and hit ti off again, we both thought we had changed, she is still very insecure due to "other issues".<br />No i dont think i helped as ive always been a very flirty person, but that was just it flirty, its how we got together, twice..<br />We have discussed councelling last year when we had probs. Also this time, but she said she doesnt want to dig through the past, this time she wants to forget the past and consentrate on the future, a fresh start.<br /><br /><br /> This is what America needs !<br />Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia<br /><br />Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks..<br /><br />Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques..<br /><br /><br />Quote:<br /><br />"IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.

I'm constantly living in fear. They always threaten to call someone to remove me from the house. I stay up at night holding the phone just in case, every time my mom's on the computer I spy on her.<br /><br />2. I have nothing left to look forward to in my life. My social skills are non-existent thanks to my mom constantly making fun of me. I'd rather have the entire school make fun of me then my mom. I love school though. I have friends at school, but outside of school I never go out with them because I'm always self-concscience about my self; I feel like they are going to judge and make fun of me like my mom does.<br /><br />3. My weekends and nights consist of me staying locked in my room on the computer or playing Playstation. I hate spending any time with them. I've become like an animal in a cage.<br /><br />4. I'm assaulted by both my parents; they punch me, beat me, slap me, etc.<br /><br />And a whole other list. How can I live 2 more years with them? When I'm 18, I'm going to school and never going back.<br /><br />And I don't want to leave. Simply because of school. It's a private school and I know that if I leave I'm not going there anymore. And school is honestly the only reason I'm still breathing.<br /><br />Like if I had no friends at school and was constantly bullied, I probably would have commited suicide by now. No exaggeration.<br /><br />Everytime I tell my mom that I want to see a therapist she calls me mentally retarded, sick, or tells me that she doesn't want to spend money or that I should just fix the problem and questions why she has to have a child with problems.<br /><br />That's not to say I'm innocent; I'm far from it. I do what they do. But honestly it is because I am a miserable human being. I'm constantly judgmental, sad, angry, jealous, depressed because I've grown up in that kind of environment that I am even hating people I don't know just because they are happier than me, etc.<br /><br />It's taking a toll on who I am and I can't do this much longer.<br /><br /><br /> I have been married for 18 years and i have never given my husband a reason to doubt my devotion to him. however, I have been working out of the home the last few years and have been flirted with quite a bit. Im NOT interested in ever having an affair...but it is flattering. I can't lie. Anyway, my husband apparently does not like the attention i have been getting and he has become paranoid! He checks my e-mails behind my back, hovers over me when I type to friends or facebook, and just tonight, ( because he is out of town) he asked what i did today. I told him I took the kids to the movie and then I facebooked. He called me later and said " well, i read through your facebook page , and it looks like you had a fun day! " IM GOING NUTS! I have nothing to hide.....but this spying is very annoying. When i told him to quit checking up on me, he got mad and asked what i had to hide. What should I do??? His paranoia is making me SO angry!!! Its not that I have anything to hide, its that he assumes i do that makes me angry!<br /><br /><br /> YES this is a serious question. I'm 25, and my mother had a boy late in life. He's the first child she's had yet who's been hard to control. The rest of us were calm and listened very well, so she's a little lost. He's very smart, and can read at a third grade level, math at second grade level and knows words beyond his age(though we don't know where he heard them) He's friendly and nice to other kids. However he has problems listening and he's overly energetic. He's able to focus VERY well. He umm sounds like he has a russian accent( I know it's weird) and uses words for things that he's never heard, like he has his own language. When he was three days old, he would laugh in his sleep. Yes three days. These were NOT gas grins, as anyone who witnessed it agrees. He was laughing. Now we've discovered he loves pain. Loves it. He bites himself all the time! It's like he gets a high off it.Once my friend pretended she was going to nibble his shoulder. He giggled and said "Do it again"...she did and he said "bite more". She did not want to bite him hard so she did it as firm as she dared to but he wanted her to do it harder! Has anyone encountered a child like this?? I am quite serious. This is no joke I am getting a little concerned. There are many other strange things about him too. Animals are terrified of him, he uses other voices. I was in the car with him waiting for our sister in the store, we were playing I spy or something and at one point I said "You're crazy, you know that?" and he stopped giggling, became solemn and said "Mom knows that" in a different voice. I could go on but, what do you think? I love this little boy very much. I couldn't be more serious here.<br />I said this is not a joke and I meant it. What the fuck is with the Michael Jackson joke? It's not funny.<br />No, he is quite social,and it's "Aspergers". I've studied it and he doesn't fit that.<br />That's exactly what I'm worried about, though I don't want to think that way. He's so sweet and loving. One day this strange little old lady came up to him when we were on a ferry and tapped on his face then said" He's going to be very important...yes...very important..." then walked away waving her finger like she was counting invisible bugs mumbling about him. I'm just hoping she didn't mean importand like impotant to the psych world. Again I am serious about this.<br />THE JOKES AREN'T FUNNY<br />I called him crazy once. He's a well loved boy who gets alot of attention and has plenty of room to be creative.<br /><br /><br /> Early human writers often portrayed mankind’s Custodial “Gods” as bloodthirsty creatures prone to excessive violence. Sadly, those<br />lamentable qualities did not improve with God In the Bible During the trek from Egypt to the Promised Land, God demanded unflagging obedience from the Hebrews. Many humans rebelled and God reacted with extreme cruelty. God reportedly killed up to 14,000 Hebrews at a time for disobedience. He used a variety of killing methods, such as spreading diseases, just as other Custodial “Gods” had done earlier in Sumeria.When the Hebrew armies reached Canaan, God displayed a genuinely psychopathic bent. To establish the Hebrews in their new homeland, God ordered the Hebrew armies to embark on a campaign of genocide to depopulate all of the region’s existing cities and towns. Under the new leadership of a man named Joshua, the first city to fall in Gods seven-year holocaust was Jericho. According to the Bible, the Hebrew army, numbering in the tens of thousands, slaughtered everyone in Jericho except, ironically, a prostitute because she had earlier betrayed her own people by helping two Hebrew spies: And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword. JOSHUA 6:21 After that was accomplished: . they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord. The genocide was justified by saying that the victims were all wicked. This could not have been the true reason because children and animals were also slaughtered. It is hardly fair to massacre an entire city for the crimes of a few; neither is it right to murder a child for the crimes of its parents. The real crime, according to the Bible, was that the natives of the region had become disobedient. The more obedient Hebrews were therefore elected by God to wipe out the natives and replace them. Thou shalt not kill was transgressed when the Hebrews massacred the inhabitants of Canaan. The Hebrews ignored the commandment Thou shalt not steal when they robbed the dying cities of their precious metals. They were no better about adhering to the commandment Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house ... nor any thing that is thy neighbor’s when they committed genocide to take away the land of their neighbors.All you really have to do is take all your personal emotions away from your observation of the Bible, or the Old Testament, and just see what Jehovah did. It's clearly psychotic behavior. I don't want a "God" like that! It's amazing how some people will defend it,<br /> saying "well, he was justified in killing everybody". Really?<br />The god of the Old Testament is described as a JEALOUS, VENGEFUL god, a WAR-MONGER! He said"Thou shalt not kill", and then proceeded to help the Israelites to BRUTALLY kill TENS OF THOUSANDS of Arab's in order to take their land!<br /><br /><br /> In this episode a newcomer to Bart's school becomes the best friend of him.

(I apologize for it being so long.)<br /><br />I once had a discussion with a conservative friend of mine about illegal aliens. I told him that they didn't really bother me, and that I have several as friends. The ones I know are hard-working and generally good people. I enjoy shopping in their little stores—makes you feel like you're on vacation in Mexico—where the clerks try hard to speak English, always with a smile.<br /><br />After that I said to him, ON THE OTHER HAND, you are right that it's unfair for illegals to come here, that some do commit welfare fraud, and that porous borders allow in not only the Mexicans but also terrorists, spies, and dangerous criminals.<br /><br />In the end I agreed with him that the U.S. needs to control its borders and enforce immigration laws.<br /><br />Now here's the strange thing that happened… As angry as he was when I was saying nice things about the illegals, he became even more enraged when I ultimately agreed with him. Kicking a hole in the wall (really!) he said that I'm a typical liberal who lies and twists words around for evil purposes, etc., etc. Also that I hate America and am a communist.<br /><br />After being perplexed for weeks, I finally figured out why he got so angry. In his mind, he thinks that if you're against something, you should say and think only bad things about it. Conversely, if you are for something, you should say and think only good things about it. If you do otherwise, you are contradicting yourself and twisting your words.<br /><br />(Though I don't know why he thinks I hate America, nor why he thinks I'm a communist. I'm a capitalist and I love America.)<br /><br />So my question is this: Is my friend a typical right winger, or is it just him who is like this? I'll add that he listens to Rush Limbaugh religiously and says that he's a brilliant man.<br />No Bear, he really is my friend. We went to high school together and now we're 53 years old. We are now debating via e-mail almost daily. I kinda look forward to his e-mails because I'm always in for a surprise!<br />-<br />Hey, how come nobody answers my question? I already know you're against illegals, that's fine. What I want to know is do you also see anything NOT bad in illegal mexicans. Like, for example, they tend to work hard. Will you admit one NICE thing?<br />-<br />m185, thank you for answering my question. (Though I wish you were a "right wing" conservative, not just a mainstream conservative. I should have said "Far right" instead of "right wing" in my question. I already know that mainstream conservatives are not like my friend.)<br />jsmrt, I think you are right that my friend doen't know how to debate a liberal. We live in Utah County, Utah, and I'm the only liberal living here (nearly)! He says I'm the stupidest person he's ever talked to. Didn't bother me though because I'm really pretty smart.<br />-<br />stevew sounds just like my friend. Though he didn't throw a fit and call me names, to his credit.<br />-<br />DangerousStorm, the reason my friend and I didn't know much about each other till now is that, though we went to high school together, we weren't friends. We're friends now because we work in the same office. His brother-in-law was my high school buddy, and we now both work for him in his clinic. This is absolutely a true story, and I have other Yahoo questions planned because I'm trying to figure out what makes my friend tick. We are like total opposites. I still like him though.<br /><br /><br /> 1.Pretending that he couldn't read period. Europe educates their children. 2.You cant be an actor if you cant read. 3. Aligning himself with the Kennedy clan. (big obvious signal) 3A. when he did this it was so clear to me that he came to become president 4.Now news headlines say Arnie is publicly yelling at his wife for using the phone while driving 5. This signals to me he doesn't need her anymore and will divorce her. 6. Watch Arnie go for the presidency.7. What the next highest office after president? Governor 8. Please do not vote a spy into office.<br /><br /><br /> I am married for only 5 month, today is exatly 7 month as we started dating. By this time I am completly down, every day doesn't end without tears, fight or at least arguing. I think I am trying really hard to stay calm, but it is so hard, as he knows how to touch my soul, my brain, my emotions with his words. We were fighting really bad before marriage, but I thought it was because we had some problems, like we didn't have apartment, he has a very bad credit history, mine is poor and we couldn't rent nothing. I thought, solved these problems we will be happy, besides, before they came into our lives, we were so happy, nothing bothered, we stayed at his boss house (without his permission though), he had his paycheck every week and still was spending a lot of time with me. Every time we were fighting I was trying to leave forever, when I still had other ways to live without him, every time, he stoped me, begged me to stay, he even cryed once, now he is laughing about that situation. I didn't really paied attention to him spying on me at work and questioning me who I talked to and etc. even if it were customers, he still could get mad. At this point, I probably should mention, that I don't have papers in this country and staying unlegally. My flight date was in the middle of June of this year and after all, I was really going home, as I had few relationships, but none of them were serious, I decided, my destiny is at home. In March I met him, I believed I saw him in my dreams, he was christian...I thought, he was perfect for me to build a family. <br />On the night right before marriage, we were in Las Vegas, we went to nightclub, my favourite. By the way, I lived in Las Vegas for about a year. He is older a lot, but that was never a problem for me, I never felt his age...before marriage. So, we are in this club, I am so happy to be there in LV after I moved to another place. He seems little bit nervous, or something like that. I didn't pay attention of course. We drink, dance...I finished my drink and decided to put the glass on the floor near the wall, walking to the wall, I lightly pushed a guy and said exuse me, after I realized that was my ex manager with his gf.....My man became all mad, he start fighting right in a club, asking me if I planned this meeting and if I slept with the guy...I was crying running after him from the club, everybody saw me like that, I was so imbarrased, the night before marriage. He decided to wait for the cab, I was crying, he was standing there like he is not with me. I walked to the light, thinking to go to the hotel by walk, as I was walking on the high platforms, I fell on the street, alone, crying, hurting, embarrased in front of everybody. GOD where was my head at that moment, why I didn't understand what kind of person this man is. Standing on the light, he came and said to go with him...I was crying and still drunk, we went to the hotel. We basically didn't talk on that night, I took a shower, put a robe and laied on the bed, he was still acting mad...he started touching me, and then he was making sex, I was just laying there and crying, he finished, we stil didnt' talk and I fell asleep. Next day we GOT MARRIED!!! I still didn't know on what kind of nightmare I signed myself. On the wedding there were all his friends, who was in LV at that moment, they were so nice, they did many nice things on our wedding. Everything seemed the same for me for a while. But he was changing, slowly, but surely. Forgot to mention this. He was coming to my job before wedding every day, bringing food, drinks and just to talk. My manager didn't like that, I ignored. I got fired. After wedding, when we went back to our sity, I found another job, similar. He kept coming there too. I didn't like that much the job, but I was doing it to pay my bills. He isisted me to quit, I didn't want to do it for long time, but non responsibilities life seemed so good to me. I quit. When we started to look for a job, I thought we need some additional income, I found another similar job. The location was not so good, It was the middle of the summer, so hot, my stomach kept hurting on the stress situation. I had to stand all day, sometimes for nothing. Well, I quit. He kept saying "burn all your bridges, just you and me". He was mad, if I talked to my friends -guys, finally I stoped talking to them at all. Then he was saying my best girlfriend was evel, I quit with her. The he was saying, that I need to change, because he called me evel too, satan and etc. Then he started to controll my every step, everything!! Even asking me what I was doing in bathroom....He is a control freak, he said I need to obey him as a husband, sometimes giving an examples of people obeying God. He said he will break me, he was laughing, that my phone never rings, because nobody calls me, he was laughing, that I don't have a job. He said, he told me to quit, not he is telling me to go work! He called me fat ass, he start saying I need<br />I want to finish with this. I want to be happy with him, I am trying very hard, even step on my pride, my feelings, my small problems. As he told me to stop complain about my small problems. I even try to stop the fight first, I tie my mouth trying to not say any bad words. Nothing works, he seemly enjoy. He said he will teach me how to be a good slave. I can not be a slave, even if I try very hard. He says I married him for papers. This is not true, I even didn't apply for them yet. I want him to be happy, but may be not with me, because I want my self to be happy too. Even I don't have plan B, as I don't have papers, now I don't have money, now I don't have no friends, I want to divorce. Today when we fighted, he said he is not going to make it easy for me. Why?? I don't understand, what did I do to him? Why he, as a christian, hates his wife so much? Is he trying to pay me for all falls in his life....<br /><br /><br /> So tell me what you think. Her name is Chase Coleman. But DEvin calls her Liz cause her middle name is Elizabeth. And yes...he did die.<br /><br />I walked into the room. Benton was waiting, arms across his chest, looking through the one way window. His face was fixed in a scowl. <br />“Did he confess?” <br />“He won’t say a thing.” <br />I threw my jacket on a folding chair. “Great,” <br />“Well, what does that mean?” Luke asked behind me. <br />“It means I have to question the psychopath.” <br />Outside the door, I placed my thumb to the reader. <br />“Chase Coleman, access granted.” Said a mechanical voice. <br />The heavy metal door swung open. Behind it was a dark room, with just a single table and two chairs. Behind the table sat my worst nightmare, leaning back leisurely. <br />“Ah, my dear Chase,” He laughed, becoming alert. <br />I repressed a shudder and sat down across from him. “You haven’t changed a bit.” <br />“On the contrary, my hair has gotten a tad bit grayer.” Pierce tried to reach for his head but was stopped by the clang of handcuffs. “Are these necessary?” <br />“Since I don’t want you touching me, uh, yes.” <br />The look he gave me was somewhere between pity and sorrow. “Dearest, why would you refuse me?” <br />I swallowed. “Did you kill those people?” <br />“I don’t want to talk about them,” He leaned forward. “I want to talk about us.” <br />“There never was an us, Henry Pierce. You’re old enough to be my father.” <br />“You like older men though, don’t you? You fell for him. And quickly too,” His voice still had the same sliminess that it had had three years ago. <br />“Don’t,” I flexed my hand on the table. <br />“Yes, I agree. The past is the past.” Pierce watched my hand closely, and then looked back at me. “You have blossomed into a woman Chase. A beautiful one I might add.” <br />I opened the file on the table. Pictures of horrible crimes stared back at me. I placed each one in front of Pierce, showing the boy last. When I spoke my voice was full of slow pain. “Did you kill them?” <br />He studied each one, floating them in front of him so he could see better. After he was done, his dark eyes searched my face. “I imagine you are very good at your job?” <br />“What does that have to do with anything?” I snatched the pictures from the air and placed them back in the file. <br />“Because darling,” Pierce said in his sharp British accent. “You were my best pupil. I have to know if I taught you well.” <br />“You taught me nothing,” I slammed my fist on the table. <br />He shook his head, a slow smile spreading across his face. “That’s where you’re wrong, love. I taught you everything you know. I made you who you are.” <br />My stomach heaved at the thought of that. “I learned not to love the Pierce men a long time ago. First with you and your lies and then with--,” I stopped, my breath catching my throat.<br />“Can’t even say his name?” Pierce looked amused. “I thought you were stronger than that.” <br />I fought back the tears and spoke. “I am.” <br />“Have you been practicing? I’d like to see what you can do.” <br />“No,” I spat. “The only reason I’m here is because that’s what I’ve been ordered to do. Don’t think this is a social occasion.” <br />“I’ve been in hiding for the last three years, Chase.” He leaned forward as if to share a secret. “This is the closest to a social occasion that I’ve ever had. And besides,” He leaned back and laughed. “Devin would want me to have you.” <br />Before I knew what I was doing, he was in the air, his face purple. I concentrated one part of my mind on the door, keeping it closed. With my hand outstretched, I squeezed, sending a spasm of pain through Pierce. <br />He chuckled in response. “I taught you that trick sweet.” <br />Another squeeze and his body shuddered, every limb shuddering.<br />“I remember that,” He was laughing, laughing, at me! “When you use It, the lightning bolt in your eyes. Glorious.” <br />It took every ounce of my strength to not kill him.<br />“Is this what he loved about you? I never understood it fully. But maybe…” He made a choking noise. “Maybe he liked your power.” <br />I closed my eyes and breathed deeply. Devin’s face floated before me, tan and beautiful and glorious. After a while I realized I could taste the blood from where I had bitten down on my lip. <br />Enough Chase, His voice said. You aren’t this person. <br />With another anguished sigh, I lowered Pierce, not opening my eyes until he was collapsed on the floor, gasping for breath. His dark red hair was sticking to the back of his neck with sweat, the veins in his neck sticking out prominently. <br />“Enjoy your time in Labyrinth,” I spat. <br />I turned around and went to leave, but was slung back with such force that the wind was knocked out of me. Peirce had broken free from his restraints and was holding me up, just inches away from him. <br />“Still not powerful enough to beat me?” His breath tickled my cheek as he sniffed my hair. “Maybe I didn’t teach you everything. My pupil would have won. At all costs.” <br />My body had sparks flying from it, whirling the room into a mystic l<br /><br /><br /> 1.Thomas Paine argues that the best way to defeat the British is for<br />A.each state to fight independently as the British approach.<br />B.the states to train their militias in guerrilla tactics.<br />C.the troops of all the states to join together in the fight.<br />D.the states to persuade the American Indians to join the revolution.<br /><br />2.Paine contends that the Tories are<br />A.preparing to leave America to return to Britain.<br />B.committing treason by spying on their neighbors.<br />C.enjoying greater wealth than the average American.<br />D.possibly aiding and encouraging the British army.<br /><br />3.By comparing the British king to a thief and a housebreaker, Paine suggests that<br />A.British soldiers are launching sneak attacks against the colonists.<br />B.the king is in dire need of money for his treasury.<br />C.the British are trying to take what is not theirs.<br />D.Britain has robbed America of its natural resources.<br /><br />4.In his conclusion, Paine intends to inspire readers by<br />A.explaining why General Howe will succeed.<br />B.describing in detail the battle of Princeton.<br />C.recounting all of the wrongs the colonists have suffered.<br />D.pointing out the strengths of the Colonial army.<br /><br />5.Which of the following anecdotes does Paine use in the selection?<br />A.General Gage’s attack on Quebec<br />B.The innkeeper who reads Pilgrim’s Progress<br />C.The Tory tavern keeper who makes a thoughtless statement in front of a child<br />D.Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River<br /><br />6.When Paine says, “though the flame of liberty may sometimes cease to shine, the coal can never expire,” (91) he is using analogy to suggest<br />A.liberty is a persistent, core virtue.<br />B.even if England vanquished the Colonies, liberty would live on.<br />C.coal is an essential colonial resource.<br />D.the colonists’ children cannot carry on the struggle.<br /><br />7.Which mode of persuasion is used in Paine’s line “Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered?” (89).<br />A.Logic<br />B.Personification<br />C.Anecdote<br />D.Analogy<br /><br />8.When Paine writes, “The heart that feels not now, is dead: The blood of his children will curse his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole . . . ,” (92) he is using which of these elements of style?<br />A.Dramatic imagery<br />B.A family-based theme<br />C.Allusions to emphasize his points<br />D.Plain, ordinary language to present his thoughts<br /><br />9.Patrick Henry states that the colonists have the advantage over the British because the colonists have<br />A.a more rigorously trained army.<br />B.a greater number of people.<br />C.moral correctness and conviction.<br />D.knowledge of the terrain.<br /><br />10.Henry advocates immediate action by the colonists because the<br />A.British army is preparing to march into Virginia.<br />B.king is too far away to order a quick response.<br />C.conflict has already begun and the colonists have no choice but to fight.<br />D.colonists will become apathetic or unconcerned if they don’t act.<br /><br />11.The main purpose of Henry’s speech is to<br />A.convince the delegates that he should be chosen to lead the revolution.<br />B.describe the history of British colonization in America.<br />C.seek revenge for personal injuries committed by the British king.<br />D.persuade his fellow delegates to fight against the British.<br /><br />12.With the words “God . . . will raise up friends to fight our battles for us,” (84) Henry is suggesting<br />A.other nations might come to the aid of the colonists.<br />B.the colonists need not fight; others will do it for them.<br />C.the colonists are dependent on an act of God for victory.<br />D.aid will appear mysteriously out of nowhere.<br /><br />13.When Henry uses the words “chains and slavery” near the end of his speech, he is referring to the<br />A.situation of African Americans in the Colonies.<br />B.price he does not want people to pay for peace.<br />C.possibility of enslaving captured British troops.<br />D.fact that the English seek to literally enslave the colonists.<br /><br />14.One mode of persuasion that Henry uses at the start of his speech is<br />A.fiction.<br />B.flattery.<br />C.oxymoron.<br />D.emotional appeal.<br /><br />15.Henry declares, “I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past.

Tell that to the Afghans where civilian deaths continue to mount as Obama’s “war of necessity” drones on indeterminably.<br /><br />No Bush policy has changed. Iraq is still occupied. The Guantanamo torture prison is still functioning. Rendition and assassinations are still occurring. Spying on Americans without warrants is still the order of the day. Civil liberties are continuing to be violated in the name of Oceania’s “war on terror.”<br /><br />Apparently, the Nobel committee is suffering from the delusion that, being a minority, Obama is going to put a stop to Western hegemony over darker-skinned peoples.<br /><br />The non-cynical can say that the Nobel committee is seizing on Obama’s rhetoric to lock him into the pursuit of peace instead of war. We can all hope that it works. But the more likely result is that the award has made “War is Peace” the reality.<br /><br />Obama has done nothing to hold the criminal Bush regime to account, and the Obama administration has bribed and threatened the Palestinian Authority to go along with the US/Israeli plan to deep-six the UN’s Goldstone Report on Israeli war crimes committed during Israel’s inhuman military attack on the defenseless civilian population in the Gaza Ghetto.<br /><br />The US Ministry of Truth is delivering the Obama administration’s propaganda that Iran only notified the IAEA of its “secret” new nuclear facility because Iran discovered that US intelligence had discovered the “secret” facility. This propaganda is designed to undercut the fact of Iran’s compliance with the Safeguards Agreement and to continue the momentum for a military attack on Iran.<br /><br />The Nobel committee has placed all its hopes on a bit of skin color.<br /><br />“War is Peace” is now the position of the formerly antiwar organization, Code Pink.<br />Code Pink has decided that women’s rights are worth a war in Afghanistan.<br /><br />When justifications for war become almost endless--oil, hegemony, women’s rights, democracy, revenge for 9/11, denying bases to al Qaeda and protecting against terrorists--war becomes the path to peace.<br /><br />The Nobel committee has bestowed the prestige of its Peace Prize on Newspeak and Doublethink.<br /><br /><br /> America, Canada, all Europe ..... needs a President like this. <br /> <br />Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia <br />Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.<br /><br />Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. <br /><br />Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.' <br /><br />'This culture has been<br />developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, Learn the Language!' <br /><br />'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and=2<br />0women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.' <br /><br />'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.' <br /><br />'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow<br />you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.'<br /><br />'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.' <br />Maybe if we circulate this , American citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths.<br /><br />If you agree, please SEND THIS ON.<br /><br /> <br /><br />--<br /><br />"Never insult an alligator until you've crossed the river."

She unveiled the plans at an event marking the beginning of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month." What color is that ribbon?

These pieces I put up are all unedited, never read by myself or anyone else. The comments you guy's leave give me things to work with as I continue to work on this. So read and either love it, like it, or hate it. It doesn't matter, just tell me why :)<br /><br />Just then, Tristan rounded the corner with Cathan Brannigan in tow.<br />'What the!' Cathan thought as he took one look at the scene before him in the woods, and wheeled his arm back and then forward, punching Tristan right in the gut. <br />The sickening crunch of broken bones echoed through the clearing, making me cringe a little and distracting Seamus momentarily. Cathan hollered in pain and dropped on his knees to the ground while Tristan chuckled down at him with malice. <br />“that was a good try bro. I think I almost felt it. would you like another swipe? You still have one good hand left” he teased darkly. <br />“naww Grizzly. Save some for me! it’s good to share. Sharing is caring” I said in a singsong voice. I turned to Rohan and grinned, then flew to Tristan’ side where I bent down and yanked Cathan to his feet in one fluid motion by grabbing the collar of his shirt. <br />“if Rohan shares, I saved some for you” I beamed, grinning still at Tristan. <br />'What the hell! How did she get to me so fast. I didn’t even see her move! What’s going on here! What’s happening!' Cathan' thoughts were confused. He whimpered louder in pain and clutched at his shattered hand with his good one. I held him up with one hand, about twenty inches off the ground and he stared down at me. '<br />she’s so strong! Why is she so strong? I don’t know what’s happening.' Seamus looks scared. <br />'Look at those two pale freaks. Whose that pale freak that has Seamus? Tristan set this up. him and his tramp sister.' I squeezed on his collar, tightening it so my hand was tight against the middle of his throat. <br />He gagged a little, and still staring down at me, asked while he writhed in agony. <br />“what do you want from me? what do you want from us?” <br />I shook my head in that ‘you silly rabbit why would you ask that’ kind of way. <br />“I would think that that would be a rather easy question for you to answer yourself Cathan” he stared at me, clueless and ignorant. <br />'What is she friggin talking about? what does she want?' he thought. <br />“I don’t know what you’re talking about. what do you want from me? what are you going to do?” he asked, still writhering in pain. I looked at him with evil eyes. <br />“you dumb dumb silly billy you. you know exactly what I’m talking about. and I don’t know what I’m going to do with you yet. I haven’t decided. But trust me. you’ll be the first to know when I have” I said with sweet spite. <br />The colour was draining from Seamus’ face as he glared at us and then turned back to glare at Rohan. '<br />how could he possibly know about my tricks? About our tricks? He doesn’t know anything. freaks lying, just like his whore hell cat sister.'<br />Deciding that Cathan can just hang here a little longer, I nodded my head at Rohan as if to say, you may carry on and smiled. Rohan slowly twisted his head back at Seamus. <br />“did you enjoy the view last night Seamus?” he asked sourly. <br />“did you take joy in being a peeping tom? Spying on us? was the view of our home pretty from so high up in the sky?” hatred spilling over his sour tune. <br />'What! he knows! How?.' Seamus’ eyes were close to busting free of their sockets. He attempted to recover. <br />“what the hell are you talking about freak? Who the heck are you?” <br />“do not play coy with me Brannigan. As much as I hate to admit it, I am in actual fact quite impressed. Is there a spell in your Book of Shades that enables you to change into a hawk?” Rohan posited imperturbably. The look of terror on Seamus’ face answered Rohan’ question and he tried to free himself from Rohan’ stronghold in panic. <br />'How! How can this be! are they Warlocks too? how can this be happening!' <br />Finished with being a mere observer, Lawrence descended from his position in the tree some fifty odd feet in the air and gracefully twirled down, landing soundlessly between Rohan and Seamus, and Tristan, me and Cathan. <br />Seamus and Cathan’ thoughts were becoming jumbled and chaotic with a mixture of terror and doubt. <br />“Since we figured you were both Warlocks, we thought it would only be fair to let you know what we are. just to be polite you know?” Lawrence said slowly, coolly, as his eyes glittered with a clear malevolence that contradicted his words. <br />Out of all of us, I would say that Lawrence looked the most frightening as he stood in between both parties and glared at Seamus with his hands in the pockets of his knee length coat. <br />Dangerous and unforgiving. That was what he looked like. The least likely to do anything, though he would do worst then the rest of us. <br />“What are you?” Seamus whispered in Lawrence’ direction, the terror plain on his face and eclipsing any other e<br />Lol.

Her ability is to read the mind (i know, cliche, but with a twist). To read minds/converse with others via the mind is all she chooses to do, afraid of the consequences that come with what she can really do. Long story short.

They looked militaristic.”<br /><br />“We then noticed that they were doing some maneuvers. They would spread out then move back in together,” he explained.<br /><br />MEChA President Abraham Ramirez and the community liaison Felicia Rivera said what happened next caused them to take greater interest in the group.<br /><br />“We saw this guy rushing us, coming toward us really fast,” Rivera said. “We were backing them. At the corner of our eye we saw that his group caught up to him and restrained him.”<br /><br />“We heard them say something to him like, ‘It’s not time yet,’ then they huddled up again,” Ramirez said.<br /><br />According to a report compiled by associate chair of the Chicano studies department Gabriel Gutierrez, “As the meeting continued, it was announced that the meeting would be moved to the Chicano/a house… In the mean time, the group that had at this time taken what appeared to be a rather aggressive posture toward the participants of the MEChA meeting gathered their belongings and proceeded on the walk going north along the library.”<br /><br />“Somebody told us that they were over at the Chicano/a Studies House. Jesus Flores, Jake Prendez, Gabriel Gutierrez, Rudy Acuna and I went over there, and they were in a cluster in front of the Chicano House,” Garcia said.<br /><br />He said he approached the group after they began questioning his student, Jesus Flores, after he took out his cell phone and asked him for his ID.<br /><br />“I told them that I was a CSUN professor and former dean of the College of Humanities and asked what they were doing here. One responded with a sarcastic remark. They were very arrogant, giving us orders to move on. I told them that if they had a problem with us that they should contact our CSUN police, that we didn’t have to deal with other police,” Garcia said.<br /><br />He added that, “One then said that he was LAPD and that they were conducting a training exercise and that they were not armed. He told me that they were not armed several times. I found that suspicious. It was starting to get confrontational. They were really nasty to us.”<br /><br />Urban studies professor, Dr. Teresa Vasquez, said she was on her way to her office in Sierra Hall when she noticed the group of people with cameras, bags and suitcases. She said she stopped to talk to Dr. Garcia when she witnessed the incident.<br /><br />“It felt very hostile. Unusual. They were being aggressive. My first impression was that it was a hate group. They didn’t behave like police. I even thought that they were from the Minutemen,” said Vasquez.<br /><br />Vasquez said she began to take pictures of the incident when a member of the group approached her.<br /><br />“One saw me taking pictures and asked, ‘Who are you?’ what department I was from and he took my pictures. I do not think anyone has the right. They took recording and pictures of everyone.”<br /><br />According to Ramirez, the group, who he calls “undercovers”, left when the campus police arrived.<br /><br />“They (CSUN police) said they knew the group would be here and that they had a permit, but that they were only supposed to be at the bookstore, not here,” Ramirez said.<br /><br />CSUN Police Captain Scott VanScoy confirmed that the group was indeed from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and that CSUN police was aware of their presence on the campus.<br /><br />“No permit is required,” said VanScoy. “It is a public university. They called us as professional courtesy and let us know that they would be carrying on a training session practicing their observational skills for about two hours.”<br /><br />The witnesses of the incident felt the group racially targeted their organization.<br /><br />Vazquez, skeptical of the reports that the group was conducting training, said because the MEChA group was mostly Latino, the incident seemed like an exercise in racial profiling.<br /><br />“They saw us and decided to use us for their experiments. Because we were students of color, they felt they could use us as their freaking test subjects,” said Ramirez. “If it were a sorority, they wouldn’t have used them.”<br /><br />“We were targeted for a good 20-30 minutes. I cannot imagine what type of training that was,” Garcia said.<br /><br />He said he was unsure whether the group had planned it, or took their meeting as an opportunity to “target brown people, but that was what it became.”<br /><br />“In the 70s we had undercovers in the classrooms. We had spies hiding behind vending machines at a MEChA conference. We have been the target of direct surveillance and harassment in the past<br /><br /><br /> I've decided to try my hand at nanowrimo this year and I've had a couple of characters floating around in my head for a while. I want to use them but I just can't seem to come up with a good plot.<br /><br />Sarah Elizabeth Bennett:<br />Not meaning to copy he Austen character. Sarah Elizabeth just sounded right.<br />5"3, green eyes, dirty blonde hair (almost brown). Smart, not genius. Has athletic potential but isn't in excellent shape.Can be very clever when she actually put effort into things (which she doesn't because she has given up all hope of being extraordinary). Has a very strange quirk where bad things (horrific things) don't faze her like they should. She becomes very detached in the face of danger and will do what ever she has to do. She's very shy when she doesn't know someone well, and is very kind. But besides all this she is a hopeless romantic. All I know is that lots of things change in her life when she meets:<br /><br />Peter James Litman: (middle name subject to change)<br />5"10 - 6", green eyes with flecks of brown, dark brown hair (almost black). Extremely smart, good looking, and athletic. very mysterious also (a james bond/ super spy kind of mysterious). Outwardly charming. Calm in the face of danger. Also capable of loving very passionately but he doesn't see that ability until he meets Sarah.<br /><br />Peter isn't as well developed as Sarah is but I'm working on it. Just as an end note. In my mind Sarah is 16 and a half. Peter is 18. But I've also been thinking about them as 21 and 23 respectivly.<br />Just something simple that I can expand off of or even get a good idea from. You can even tell me if my characters are crap or not<br /><br /><br /> I'm having a problem with a Thinkgeek Spy Keylogger, Whenever I plug it in, uning my keyboard becomes impossible.

Here is my logic:<br /><br />First of all, Americans put the eagle on the dangered species list because we were using a pesticide to help our crops. Yes yes I know that it saved crops but it hurt the population of eagles. Eagles symbolized a lot of different things; freedom, liberty, justice, etc, for our country. I think it is rather ironic that our national emblem is endangered. Maybe our freedom is endangered as well! Think about how the American society/economy is actually doing currently. <br /><br />I think that the turkey should be our national emblem because the majority of Americans eat turkeys on Thanksgiving. We think about our stomachs and our needs more than anything or anybody else. I just honestly really think it would make sense.<br /><br />If you are completely lost think about the symbolism behind all of this.<br />lolahashburk<br /><br />fuck me and my mom? that's cute. <br /><br />people like you make me weep for what could be.<br />haha yes yes, the turkey is one of the dumbest animals. therefore i think it should be our national emblem because we have a lot of dumbasses in our country. <br /><br />symbolism in its finest.<br />i know the eagle isn't endangered anymore but it's rather ironic that our national emblem actually was. read between the lines brotha.<br /><br /><br /> <br />Yep, I'm goin' huntin' to get me some bald eaglesss....<br /><br />No, its for a paper in school ;)<br /><br /><br /> Will we name another national symbol or what? The reason I ask is because the bald eagle was on the endangered species list...however, now, it is only on the threatened list. So, it may not become extinct..or at least, not any time soon. But, what would happen if it did? Anything?<br /><br />Thanks for the answers.<br />Alex Valere....I never said they were endangered.

My family began reading it together when I was in first grade, on a recommendation from my grandmother. I immediately fell in love. Living in a magical world sounded ideal to me and i had never heard of anything more magical than Hogwarts. School never was a drag for me like it is for a lot of other kids so, the idea of this extra creative magical school was incredibly appealing. I would dream about receiving my acceptance letter and leaving on that train to go to Hogwarts. I aspired to be the one to learn the magic and come home with " my pockets full of frogspawn," "turning teacups into gerbils."<br /><br />I was never more excited for a birthday than I was for my eleventh birthday. I knew i was going to get my Hogwarts letter. I was going to get up in the morning and run down the stairs. I would halt at the kitchen table, a grin on my face, and, without an ounce of surprise, observe my letter, laying placidly on the kitchen table. The bright green lettering would bare the legend "[my name], [the town i live in], New York, The Front Bedroom, Top Bunk." However, my confidence regarding this amazing event occurring was trivial; it did not happen. I certainly wasn't alarmed or concerned. Hogwarts was very far away and the owls would need time to rest. Therefore, my letter would definitely have to be a little bit late. I certainly didn't want to be the cause of an owl's death.<br /><br />Even though I kept up this optimism, the letter never came. I assumed that it was because they didn't know my birthday. Or perhaps my parents didn't have my correct birthday. They could be wrong. The hospital could have made a mistake. Maybe I was just a year younger than I had previously thought. That would explain why the letter didn't come when I was eleven. So, the day i turned twelve was reminiscent of my eleventh birthday. I flew down the stairs to find that, once again, my letter was missing in action. I became discouraged. My dream of being magical was disintegrating. I was facing a harsh reality. I was not magic, I was not a witch, and I would never go to Hogwarts.<br /><br />I have learned to accept that magic is not real, but, even now, a little part of me still wishes I had obtained that elusive letter. A little part of me still hopes that, perhaps, Hogwarts is a real place, somewhere out there, just waiting to be unveiled. Nevertheless, I can still pretend, right? In light of that, every time a new movie comes out I break out my wands and pretend to cast spells on people. Often, my friends join in my Harry Potter celebrations. If I had gone to Hogwarts, would I have still made such awesome friends? What would I have missed out on if Hogwarts was real and I was going there? If you think about it, Muggles really do have it easy compared to the Wizarding World. We Muggles stand no chance against those magical criminals. What if wizards and witches weren't there to protect us from Lord Voldemort? Guess what? We would be dead.<br /><br />I know that this expression of my love of magic is a little bit immature for someone my age. I know I should be thinking about my future and how I want to live the rest of my life. One of my fears is that I won't be about to find anyone who has such a love for the Harry Potter series as me. Or that I won't be accepted into society because of this irrational immature obsession. I am a Harry Potter junkie. But how can I turn my back on something that has been such a colossal part of my childhood?<br /><br /><br /> wizard? or a witch? i wantto be a witch more than anything. a good one! y'know nice. lol. and my religion is christain. so what type of witch would i be..? or wizard...? soo..is it possible??<br /><br /><br /> is it possible to get powers..? if not, is it possible to become a witch/ wizard? because my friend looked at my palm and said im a wizard. then she said pick a type of animal and yaddah yaddah yaddah. special chant yaddah yaddah. and now sometimes i can control the weather! she's training me how to speak to animals and make them stop talking. it's so cool. i think it's possible!!! because it's working. annddd i want to be a witch too. so please help? :)<br />no! i mean EVERY time i try to make the wind or the clouds go onto the sun or y'know the small weather stuff!! i mean i can always make it move! im not joking! idk if im even supposed to be talking about it <=S<br />and the weirdest thing is all i have to do is stay really relaxed. and i can do it.<br /><br /><br /> its vagly in my memory but i remember a young boy finds a old wizards house and trains under him 1 day he stumbles into a book that teaches him ho to raise spirits and almost did it befor wizard caught him and told him if u mess up the spirit can take u over well the wizard sends the boy to a school at the school he gets into a competiton with another young wizard and he tries to summon a spirit at witch point it goes awol and becomes a shadow at witch the shadow stalks the wizord for the rest of his life intell at 1 point he finaly learns how to beat it<br /><br /><br /> if you are a witch i would like too know i am very in interested in becoming a witch i know that it will take a lot of work but i am very stubborn i know that you kneed too look up books but witch books are the best too look at and i have many other questions so i would like you to offer my advice if you are a witch a wizard a pagan or anything magical that is under the catigory of witchcraft<br /><br /><br /> I would also like to know how I inscribe spells.<br /><br /><br /> There are many games out there that are very well made and fun but at the same time I still feel like the game for me still hasn't been made. What kind of game would you like to see made? and try to put some details. Make us drool. lol<br /><br />I would like to see a game that was just as fun offline as online and set to an anime theme. Every anime theme within reason. lol I always liked how in Burnout Paradise you could play in this pretty big city without load times and in seconds be online playing with others in the same city in a real nice smooth transition. That being said I would love the game to play out like Oblivion. I want it to have a bunch of classes, quests and plenty of things to do on the side. The one thing I love about Oblivion is that you can kill hours in the game without ever doing a quest. Breaking into houses, stealing stuff, fighting in the arena (kind of a side quest), killing monsters and exploring the huge world. You can be good, evil or just neutral and be both. Save someone or kill them. Become a thief, a hero or assassin. Ok now take all that times about 10, making it an even bigger game than Oblivion add the anime theme and the ability to go online like Burnout Paradise in the exact same world that you play in within seconds and play with hundreds or even thousands in a nice social gaming experience like in WoW or Perfect World. The game has to have lots of add ons, patches, events as well as a store to purchase items with real or in game money but like Perfect World you don't have to use real money to get the full gaming experience. <br /><br />Ok and now the gaming theme. Anime of course but with different sections and styles almost like an anime store exploded and combined into one world. Have different cities or even realms with a different anime theme for each one. For instances a realm that was like Trigun and Desert Punk where it is desert like and people use guns and steam powered machine. You would be able to use all kinds of guns and weapons like ones that you would find in any fps but along theme designed. A realm that is more modern with cities with big buildings and automobiles. The people there would be hand to hand like fighters just like Tekken or DOA. It would be cool to see a vast selection of fighting styles in mmorpg. A realm that was wooded with lots of trees and creatures. People there could be magical and tame the creatures to do battle for them. This would be a great place for wizards, clerics and hunters. A realm with castles, knights and dragons. This would be good for of course knights, barbarians, archers and rogues. A realm set in a future like time where you can be any of the classes found in the other realms but with a science fiction edge. Exp, Using robots to fight instead of tamed creatures, laser weapons instead of bullets and gunpowder and scientists instead of wizards using gadgets rather than spells. The last realm would be the a dark realm that would look like the translvania of legend with scary castles and grave yards. Just like the future realm there would be all classes available. Exp. Frankenstein monsters instead of barbarians, werewolves instead of knights and vampires instead of rogues. As well as mad scientists, necromancers, ghouls and vampire hunters. <br /><br />Every realm should have realm specific side games. Desert realm with a fps side game. Modern realm with a arcade style fighting side game. The wooded realm could have a bunch of puzzle side games in the styles of Tetris, Dr. Mario and Mejeweled. The knight realm would have a hack and slash style adventure side game. The future realm would have a racing side game in the style of Wipeout and F-Zero GX. The scary realm would have a hack and slash style survival side game with lots of zombies and monsters to tear into. <br /><br />Well that is what I would like to see in a nut shell. lol How about you?<br /><br /><br /> I want to be able to chat, but I don't want cussing or bad words. That's so stupid. I don't want flirting, but I also don't want a little kids site, either. I play games like Wizard 101 (I'm a fantasy lover), Club Penguin (if I become a member), and Pirates online. I like games where you do quests too, and chat at the same time. So, please let me know! Thanks!<br />Just so people know, I already do the Travels of Wiglington and Wenks. I have been to the exclusive party, and I'm signed up for Carto's Magic Maps. I'm sorry I forgot to include it in what I play..... whoops. Whatever else you may have is great!<br /><br /><br /> Emma lives with her step father, mother, and 7 younger siblings. One day she finds a tree-house and takes her friend with her.

Please help!<br /><br /><br /> be specific and tell where to go and what to do<br /><br /><br /> I read this book a couple years ago. It's for young adults. A boy [we're calling him Bob] trains to become a wizard or sorcerer of some kind. He and like, 15 other guys are taken into this maze-like place underground and they sleep in really crappy conditions and wear like, burlap sacks and whatnot. Bob's roommate is an unusual character. He helps Bob remember which way to go to get to their lessons and back to their room. They either aren't given any food, or it's very meager amounts. It doesn't matter because they are always hungry and dirty. They have to learn to visualize and meditate. Then they have to visualize food and make it real because otherwise they'll starve. Many boys can't do this and end up starving to death. A teacher talks to "Bob" telepathically and tells him what a good student he is.<br /><br /><br />That's all I can remember but I'd like to know the name of the book... or at least a nod from someone who has read it too?<br /><br /><br /> Imagine one night you couldn't get any sleep and you woke up at 3 am in the morning. Say you couldn't get back to sleep and you became really frustrated and bored zzzz..... Then you just decide to just clean up your room, while your cleaning out your cupboard.

What would you do?<br />No seriously i would have to get the Baseball bat out and keep on whacking her, id imagine her screams would probaly wake all the neighbours up ( at the same time i would be peeing my pants because who expects one of your worst nightmares to come to life)<br /><br /><br /> Surely there must be a wizard out there powerful enough to best both Harry Potter and Jesus in a battle of magic tricks!

At first I thought that majoring in physical therapy would suit me well, because I believed that combining my interest of sports with physical therapy would be a career that I could definitely see myself enjoying in the long run. But, then I began thinking that I am also interested in medicine, and that to be able to help people in a unique way by finding cures for different diseases would be a great way to give back to the community, and to the world as a whole. I stress the fact that giving back to my community as a resourceful tool of giving people back what someone once gave me, which was a chance to be all that I can be, just by listening to my story. I was introduced to physical therapy through my mother’s friend, who is a physical therapist, and explained to me the variety of combinations that I could do, such as combining sports medicine with physical therapy. Another factor that determined why I would major in physical therapy is because when I thought about how I could travel on a sports team such as the Lakers, or Spurs, or the Wizards, I became head over heels for this major, and felt that since I would not be able to play professional basketball or tennis, I could give back to the sport in a way by being able to service the players, and be a part of the sport at the same time. The most important factor to me that has made me choose this major is that I want to be able to enjoy my career in the long run, because when I do I am able to serve my clients better, and I want them to feel as if they are receiving the best care ever. I love this field, and cannot wait to really see what it entails.<br />ITS NOT MY PAPER!!!!<br />Sorry Ashley, but it is NOT a good paper, I have been sitting here trying to figure out how to make this paper for her, and i can fix the grammar errors, but making it flow is the problem.

The Wizard of Oz has become a classic movie among adults and children. This story is about a young girl who gets picked up from her farm in Kansas and carried off to another land unlike any she has ever seen before. In the Munchkin land after her house has fallen and has killed the wicked which the munchkins welcome her to Munchkin Land.

It was her first year and she was eager to learn magic. She was a half-blood; her father a wizard and her mum a Muggle. He was truthful and told her before they actually married, she had heard thousands of times when he described how they first met. Her mum died in an accident (she didn't really get how it happened but her dad told her it was a sort of Muggle type of transportation) when Angela was seven. And now it was four years later, going off to Hogwarts. She and her father were debating against Hogwarts and Beauxbatons but decided against the French academy.<br /><br />"Come on then, get a move on!" someone from behind her yelled.<br />"Oh!" Angela hurried onto the train, her cat cage bouncing next to her emitting several hisses. "Sorry, Lay."<br /><br />Angela looked for an empty compartment. Finally she found one with two boys. One had fiery red hair and freckles. He had a strong build and a confident smile. The other across from him had dark chestnut hair and matching eyes. He seemed taller then the redhead but not as tough and stocky-looking.<br /><br />"May I sit here?" she asked politely.<br />"Yeah," the dark haired boy grinned.<br />"Thanks. I'm Angela Armstrong."<br />"I'm Richard Loar," said the dark haired boy.<br />"And I'm Charlie Weasley."<br />"Oh! Isn't your mum and dad Molly and Arthur?" asked Angela.<br />"Er, yeah."<br />"My dad went to Hogwarts with them," Angela smiled.<br />"Cool," Charlie said.<br /><br />The compartment door slid open. A girl with gray eyes was panting in the doorway. Her thick light brown hair was windswept.<br /><br />"Can I - just - may I - need to hide," she gasped.<br />With a cocked head Charlie said yes. The girl flashed a grateful smile and slid down across from Angela.<br />"I'm sorry, it's just my brother, a real pain in the arse, decided to humiliate me - he tripped me - I ran after him...did an accidental spell and then he started to chase me."<br />"So what did you do?"<br />"Well, see, my toad sorta flew over my brother's head and...er, took a crap there."<br />Charlie and Richard started to laugh.<br />"Nice!" Angela smirked.<br />"I know, right? Dammit, I hear him!" the girl ducked under the seats as pounding footsteps came closer, followed by a yell.<br />"I'll get you for this!" roared an angry boy's voice.<br />The compartment door banged open, revealing a red-faced boy with the unmistakable scent of fresh droppings.<br />"Have you seen a girl same color hair as me, grey eyes?"<br />Angela, Richard and Charlie shook their heads.<br />"Tell me if you do. Thanks," he said and ran out.<br />"Thank you so much," beamed the girl as she climbed out.<br />"Got you!"<br /><br />The boy sprang back in and pounced on the girl. Angela winced as they fell to the floor and started to wrestle each other. Charlie and Richard were now pounding their seats yelling, "Fight fight fight fight!" repeatedly. Finally the girl said something and the boy got off, his hair falling in his face. He looked smug as the girl got up and rubbed her elbow.<br /><br />"Mum told you not to do that!"<br />"Well she's not here, is she?"<br /><br />The girl looked ready to argue back when she caught sight of the three bystanders. She turned red and muttered something to the boy.<br /><br />"Sorry, we got carried away. I'm Mary Elle Lewis."<br />"And I'm Anthony Lewis."<br />"Are you twins?" asked Richard, and almost immediately the two shook their heads.<br />"I'm a month older then Mary," Anthony said proudly.<br />"Oh. Well I'm Richard Loar, this is Charlie Weasley and Angela Armstrong."<br />"Nice to meet you all," Mary Elle grinned. "Can I still sit here?"<br />"Yeah, sure," Angela scooted closer to Charlie to allow Mary Elle more room. Anthony sat down next to Richard across from them.<br /><br />And that's how they all became great friends.<br />I happen to be a thirteen year old who's been writing for several years.<br /><br />And it's a fanfic. I suppose you don't know what that is...<br />-facepalm-<br />Okay...*deep breath*<br />This is FAN FICTION. It is NOT copying. Here is a definition for those of you who do not know what it is.<br />"Fan fiction (alternately referred to as fanfiction, fanfic, FF, or fic) is a broadly-defined term for fan labor regarding stories about characters or settings written by fans of the original work, rather than by the original creator."<br />"(genre) A form of fiction typically created by admirers of an existing commercial media property that uses, typically without explicit copyright permission, its characters and concepts."<br />You get it now? NOT copying. Fan fiction is all over the place.Harry Potter, band fics, Twilight fics, ect. Siriusly. So not copying.<br /><br />Anthony is, say, born in January, and Mary Elle is born in February.

It really makes me sad that I am not a wizard or an x-men....how do i become a wizard?? Im really serious..<br /><br /><br /> It's the 1st chapter for my creative writing story<br /><br /> The October night was quiet, the way only 2 A.M can be, only the slight rustle of the leaves in the wind broke the silence. Two teenagers crept up the road, staying close to the tree line. They understood that they probably would not get caught, but they both understood the severity of the consequences if they did. The girl walked with an air of extreme confidence. Though the 17 year old was the shorter of the two, Mary Addison Morontu’s poise made her appear a full head taller than the slightly hunched boy. Her long blonde hair cascaded elegantly down her back and her eyes, normally a vibrant blue, shone black in the dark of the night. As she walked she bounced with enthusiasm. Breaking into LHS was something she had wanted to do since a 6th grader on the school bus told her the story in 4th grade, and tonight she was finally going to get her chance. A few paces behind her cousin, Mason Laverick, limped.<br /><br /> If there was anything in Mason’s life that he was proud of it was the fact the he was extremely ordinary. He was of average height, had normal brown hair, and everyday brown eyes. He was pretty scrawny, but to be fair most of the boys at the Eden End Trailer Park were at least a little underweight. There were only two things about him that could be considered unusual, he stuttered when he was mad or scared, and he had a limp. He thought the stutter probably came his lack of confidence, that or all those times he’d been beat up at school for saying stupid things. Either way it was annoying. Then there was his knee. It all started two years ago, when his mom was driving him and his sister home from Grandma’s. It was late, rain had drenched the roads, and the turn was just too sharp for the old car to handle. Luckily he was the only one hurt, with a torn ACL. It should have made a full recovery, but his dad lost his job and couldn’t pay for physical therapy. So now he was stuck as a cripple. It didn’t really bother him, except when he walked too much, which was the main reason he was annoyed with Mardi right now. Mardi had always looked after him, she was the one who told him it would be ok after his puppy was hit by a van, and it was her house he ran to when he was tired of his parents screaming at each other. But cousinly love aside, that didn’t mean he wanted to be climbing a mountain in the middle of the night. He shifted his backpack and asked, “Mardi, are you sure this is a good idea?”<br /><br />“Mase, I already told you, don’t worry.” She quickened her pace a little, and Mason struggled to keep up. “Besides,” she called over her shoulder, “No one ever comes up here anymore.” <br /><br />“Because it’s haunted,” he muttered. Mason knew the story of the old school, and the “ghost” that lived there, everyone did. He didn’t really believe it was, but for some reason he still got chill when he thought about what happened there. It had been a little over fifty years since Lincoln High School had become the first school in Ohio to boast three state athletic titles in the same year. However that’s not what people remembered about LHS, or the 1947 school year. They remembered Lisa Neal and Brent Carter, but mostly they remembered Matt Hiley. Lisa was a shoe-in for homecoming queen and Brent (whose father was the town sheriff and the Imperial Wizard of the area KKK) was her doting boyfriend. When they broke up after a long fight, Lisa, who had always been the spiteful one, ran to Matt, a black boy from the Southside of town. Sheriff Carter, not the type to standby while his son was humiliated by “some good-for-nothing-no-class-tramp,” organized a lynch mob, and waited for the pair to show up to the dance. The mob made off with Matt and he was never seen or heard from again. Supposedly he had been killed and his body left in the locker room. Three days later Lisa fled town. Some say she jumped off East Street Bridge after Matt’s mother called her out publicly, blaming Lisa for her son’s death; others say she settled down in Arkansas now writing under the penname Cindalyn Abraiel. Four days later Sheriff Carter resigned, and two weeks later the county shut down the school. Heeding left the school and their shame to rot. <br /><br />Once, about 15 years ago, five football players were supposed the night on a dare. They were only in there for about 20 minutes before running out. As soon as they escaped they told everyone that Matt’s ghost had tired to kill them, and that they had seen bones scattered around the gym. At first it had been like a joke, the boys told anyone that would listen about how they had valiantly risked their lives for each other, and then suddenly they all just stopped talking about it. One by one they all dropped out of school, took off and never came back.<br /><br />Mason knew Mardi thought the whole thing was stupid, just another dumb town rumor, besides she had been the one who told him ghost (and oh by the way, Santa) weren’t real but he still<br />Yeah there is more written, but I don't have time to type it, so I'm cutting it off there hoping that it makes a good " 1st chapter"<br />Matt and Lisa didn't go to the same school<br /><br /><br /> Being that these tournaments are becoming my speciality I decided to start another tournament with 32 teams. I call it the best of the rest. It consists of teams that had strong seasons, but not champions or championship contenders. For instance you won't see the 90's Knicks teams in this because they were contenders throughout the 90's. None of these 32 teams won an NBA title. A couple got to the finals but were completely overmatched by better teams.<br /><br />Today's matchup is 09 Nuggets VS 67 Warriors Below are the lineups. , . Nuggets have homecourt. Before people jump on Denver's backwagon, please note that the Warriors in 67 were extremely talented and lost in the finals to a Wilt Chamberlain team that some consider the greatest ever. I understand that most of us have never seen the 67 Warriors, but that doesn't mean they should be disrespected. I am only stating this because of the Wizards-Spurs mess I had the other day.<br /><br />Lineups<br />09 NUGGETS<br />C - Nene F/C Chris Anderson<br />PF - Kenyon Martin <br />SF Carmelo Anthony G/F Linus Kleiza<br />SG Dahntay Jones G JR Smith<br />PG Chauncey Billups G Anthony Carter<br /><br />67 Warriors<br />C - Nate Thurmond- F/C Clyde Lee<br />PF - Fred Hetzel<br />SF Rick Barry G/F Tom Meschery<br />SG Jeff Mullins G Al Attles<br />PG Paul Neuman G Jim King<br /><br /><br />Below is the full list of teams and first round matchups in the full tournament. <br />Second Round will begin monday.<br /><br />1) 04 T’Wolves 58-24 DEFEATED 32) 94 Denver Nuggets 42-40<br /><br />2) 89 Cavs 57-25 DEFEATED 31) 07 Golden St. Warriors 42-40<br /><br />3) 97 Atlanta Hawks 56-26 DEFEATED 30) 94 Miami Heat 42-40<br /><br />4) 01 76ers 56-26 DEFEATED 29) 76 Phoenix Suns 42-40<br /><br />28) 93 Charlotte Hornets 44-38 DEFEATED 5) 08 Hornets 56-26<br /><br />6) 90 Spurs 56-26 DEFEATED 27) 91 Golden St. Warriors 44-38<br /><br />7) 09 Nuggets 54-28 vs 26) 67 San Francisco Warriors 44-37<br /><br />8) 83 Spurs 53-29 DEFEATED 25) 05 Washington Wizards 45-37<br /><br />9) 85 Nuggets 52-30 DEFEATED 24) 84 NJ Nets 45-37<br /><br />10) 01 Bucks 52-30 DEFEATED 23) 06 L.A.

How about next week, we have a winners take all ladder match for both the IPC & The WHC?" I get a mic. "So let me get this straight. You both want another shot? You got it! But here is how it will work. If either Joey or myself wins, we retain our respective titles. If Hurricane just so happens to pull off the YAHWF WHC then he becomes the YAHWF WHC & you Justin become the YAHWF IPC. So, it's a tag team but for you, it's a tag team but it's also a single's match.

not really<br />matt harpring: if he stays healthy and get minutes, he's gonna produce<br />al harrington: he's gonna have a huge year with the knicks<br />jarvis hayes: he's not gonna breakout. but this guy deserves minutes<br />luther head: don't be surprised if he supplants daequan cook as the heat's 3 point specialist.<br />grant hill: look for hill to have a big season.<br />kirk hinrich: he deserves to start somewhere<br />josh howard: look for howard to become a star this season<br />larry hughes: look for hughes to bounce back this season<br />andre iguodala: must show more assertiveness to become a star. has the skillset<br />zydrunas ilgauskas: he deserves to start somewhere if not cleveland<br />allen iverson: look for him to prove the doubters wrong<br />jarrett jack: would love to see him start full-time for a season ahead of derozan. <br />fred jones: he's a beast. why is he still a free agent?<br />deandre jordan: no one would believe me but he got more upside than blake griffin.<br />tarence kinsey: no one wants him, but he outscored kobe bryant head-to-head as a rookie and hit the game winning shot<br />andrei kirilenko: look for kirilenko to be an all-star if he gets starters minutes<br />linas kleiza: no one made him a fair offer, so he went to europe. a pity because he could be better than the overrated carmelo anthony<br />brevin knight: why is he a free agent? he could start for a # of teams in the nba and average 13 ponts 10 dimes<br />nenad krstic: he's soft and doesn't rebound, but his ceiling is 18 points 8 rebounds per game<br />car landry: he should start<br />corey maggette: he absolutely needs to start. i can see him averaging 25 points per game as the go-to scorer<br />jamaal magloire: big cat deserves to play.<br />desmond mason: really want to see him go back to scoring 17 points per game like 04-05. the bucks ruined his career by trading him after that season<br />antonio mcdyess: he can be a 12-10 guy starting alongside timmy d<br />tracy mcgrady: look for t-mac to bounce back to all-star form<br />dominic mcguire: love his unique skillset. hope wizards have some injuries so he can play<br />darius miles: he's a beast. why is he a free agent?<br />brad miller: should start ahead of noah and tyrus thomas<br />paul millsap: i see him as a potential 20-10 player<br />anthony morrow: he can score in bunches if given the playing time<br />flip murray: i feel bad for him for getting such a sh*tty contract after<br /><br /><br /> Being that these tournaments are becoming my speciality I decided to start another tournament with 32 teams.

So it starts out with this floating statue head of Zeus that goes around giving guns to the survivors of a nuclear holocaust and tells them that the penis is bad so they should kill all breeders, but also take slaves to grow wheat. This rag-tag team of horsemen in red thongs is lead by James Bond's Sean Connery. He jumps into the mouth of Zeus, err "Zardoz" where he finds this crazy munchkin in a mother Theresa habit, and since he's kindof stupid he shoots him to death without realizing that he's actually the man behind Zardoz' curtain.<br /><br />Anyways so Sean Connery explores the Immortal's portal and they're all pychic a**holes that decide to study then kill him, and they try to give him erections because they're all impotent and barren. .. See when you live forever it means your sex organs stop working. The immortals who disobey the laws get aged into old immortals, and the ones who don't care anymore become apathetic. Anyway they all want to die but this blasted machine is keeping them alive so Sean Connery goes inside this crystal that turns out to be a hall of mirrors, and then there's an orgy and the hunters come and kill everyone.<br /><br />And the movie ends with Sean Connery and his frigid wife living inside the ruins of Zardoz' head where they raise a child. Also it's "The Wizard of Oz" if you weren't sure wtf I was talking about.<br /><br /><br /> Like gandalf, not that harry potter fake stuff.<br /><br /><br /> Being that these tournaments are becoming my speciality I decided to start another tournament with 32 teams.

At my old school, I met this girl named Jenny. We became best friends. Jenny has some problems. She is a manipulative person, and is just plain...weird. She doesn't even look normal. Her hair is always tangled, and in the 6 yrs. that I've known her I've NEVER seen her hair untangled. Once she told me that she only brushed her hair twice a month. Sometimes her shirts are all wrinkly. She's extremely pale. She's a little bit of a control freak since she's manipulative. She says she's a Christian like me, but I doubt that since she likes wizards and all that stuff. She doesn't have that much friends at all. And that's not because she's anti-social or anything, she talks, but she's not really outgoing or anything. She doesn't have much friends because she is a control freak. She seems to be a little insecure. Anyway, l haven't seen her in real life since I saw her at my birthday party last year. Last year I decided to try to break the bond between us, because it was starting to get a little unhealthy. I'm ignoring her calls, her e-mails, and everything. I blocked her on my e-mail account and deleted her from my friend list on all the sites I talk to her on. My mom told me not to tell her that I don't want to be friends anymore, because that would just break her heart. And so I didn't. She calls me everyday and e-mails me a lot. My friend told me that Jenny thinks that I got my phone number changed or something since I'm not calling her back. Today I received an e-mail from Jenny that says,"(Insert name here) where on Earth are you? I've been calling every day! Emailing you a lot! I called you today, and your sister answered the phone and said she would look for you. She never came back after that. The phone made a weird beeping noise and I hung up. I tried calling again and nobody answered. Have you blocked me on your e-mail account by accident? Or has your mom grounded you? Or could she have forbiden you to talk to me for some mysterious reason that I might never know? I have some suspicion that you are avoiding me. Is this true? If you ARE avoiding me, are you mad? Have I done something? I really miss you a lot. I wish I could talk with you again! It sure seems all too strange to me. ARE you avoiding me? Whether you are avoiding me or not, I still miss you. (Insert crying emoticons here). If you are avoiding me because you don't like me anymore, which I cannot bare to think about, I hope we can talk to eachother again, or at least even see eachother. DO you still like me? I'm gonna cry if you don't. Seriously. I MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Yeah, so that's what she e-mailed me. Once when I wasn't avoiding her, I was talking on the phone with her, and my cousin asked me to get off the computer, so I did. (I was talking to Jenny on the phone and on the computer). I had said to her,"I have to get off for a second, ok?" And she was like,"why?" "Because my cousin needs to use the computer." Then she asked me a million questions about my cousin. "How old is she? What does she look like? Why is she here? How close are you to her?" She won't let me relax. She doesn't want me to be close to anyone but her. And, another time, before I started avoiding her, I was talking on the phone with her and my dad wanted me to go to the park with him. I was like,"Hey, I gotta go. I'm going to the park with my dad." And then she was like "When are you coming back?" Another time, before I started avoiding her, I was talking to her online and she was like "Give me the username and password to your online account on this website or I'm gonna cry." Then I was like,"No, there's no way I'm giving you my account info. I could get banned for that." Then she was like "I'm really sorry. I'm in a bad mood right now." When I started breaking bonds with Jenny, my mom was like "I'm glad you're breaking your bond with Jenny. I've never been comfortable with you being friends with her." I was surprised when she said that, because she had kinda lied to me. When I was going to my old school, and when I was still BFF's with Jenny, whenever I asked my mom if she liked Jenny she would say,"Yes, I like her a lot. She's very nice." What should I do about my ex-BFF! I need help desperately! Talk about major sticky situation here! ;(<br />Sorry for making this so long...<br />Yeah, so basically my mom has never approved of Jenny.<br />She lives on the other side of town. In the 5 yrs. that I went to my old school, I have NEVER had a play date with her. Which, I have to say, is kinda odd, especially if you have known a person for years and years and years. The only time I ever saw her outside of school was at my birthday party last year.<br />I'm one of her only friends. There's no way I'm gonna talk to her again. She practically destroyed my social life at my old school. Only a few people would talk to me. Not much people would talk to me because I was friends with the "weird girl with tangled hair." I'm sure she didn't intentionally try to crush my social life, but, still. I'm really not trying to be an a**. I'm just confused and don't know what to do about this situation.<br />I don't know if I made this clear or not, (sorry if I didn't,) but I don't go to the same school as she does anymore. My old school is the school that she has gone to and is still going to ever since we met.<br />My mom says that I should cut her out of my life completely, and I, personally, agree with her. Once, when I wasn't avoiding her, she called me and my cousin answered the phone. She had asked,"Is (insert name here), here?" Then my cousin said no and she hung up in her face. My cousin told me about this. We both agreed that it was very rude of her to do that. When I wasn't avoiding her, when she called and when my mom answered the phone, Jenny had immediately asked my mom,"Is (insert name here,) there?" She didn't even say hello to my mom<br />She's a pshyco, I know. If I had to describe her in one word I would say that she was a pshyco. Not to be mean or anything, but, still...<br />My mom never made this decision for me. I made this decision all on my own. I want this girl out of my life forever.<br />Thanks 4 all ur answers btw<br />I really don't wanna talk to her. I know that if I did, she'd ask me why I am avoiding her and a million other questions.<br />In your opinion, would you say that my friendship with her was toxic?<br />She seems to be obssessed/addicted with me/ to me.<br />Thanks, Y!Summit. I'm looking forward to your answer<br />She is NOT a lesbian. Don't you remember that I said that she had some issues in the begining of my question? Jeez.<br /><br /><br /> always wanted to become a wizard for a long time plzz help me with this no stupid answers.<br /><br /><br /> Let's pretend you have met the famous wizard Merlin and he said he'll cast a spell to remove any team from the 2009 playoffs. Which team would you choose to eliminate? By eliminating the team, all teams in that division move up in the standings and the removed team will become the cellar dweller. Just thought this section needed a fun question to start off the day. :)<br /><br /><br /> Being that these tournaments are becoming my speciality I decided to start another tournament with 32 teams.

I just wanted to know what you think of it so far and things I should keep in mind while writing the rest of it. Don't comment on my grammar and spelling because I havn't edited it yet. Thanks in advance ( :<br />Be as harsh as you want but keep in mind I'm 13.<br /><br />The Darkness, Chapter One<br />Normal, the least liked word in my vocabulary. Hardly anything about me was normal, and that’s the way I liked it. I liked the way my non normal hair sparkled even when fog blanketed the earth and wiped out the sun. I liked the way people stared at me for my unusual way of dressing. It made me giddy with excitement when guys whistled at me when I walked down the streets and made comments a normal mortal wouldn’t hear. And I loved that I could do anything and make anyone do anything I wanted. Yes, I knew how conceited that sounded and I liked it that way also. The only thing that could sound even more conceited about that was my immense beauty that all witches and wizards possessed. But was I conceited to the point that all I talked and thought about was me. No.<br />Slowly I climbed out of my extremely warm bed and looked out the window. Rain drizzled down from the heavens and once more the earth was blanketed with fog like most mornings. Jeez, did every single day have to start out dark and dreary in Grand Marias? Apparently, seeing that this made it the seventh day straight with crappy weather starting the morning. Shaking it off, I glanced over to my beeping alarm clock. Amazingly it said that it was almost six in the morning, but I would never set a clock that early. I had no clue why in the world I would set a clock to wake me up at six. Usually I woke up around ten or later without a clock, even on some school days. <br />School, I shuddered realizing the reason for waking. Today was my first day of non magical school, in other words, mortal high school. How fun. Classes started at different times in my world which also has a time difference than Grand Marias. Normally I would be getting out of my last class in Mizaray, and having to switch schedules was really starting to mess me up.<br />Looking around my room, the messiness stood out the most. Books and boxes from recently moving were scattered everywhere along with an unknown amount of crinkly brown paper that protected things in the boxes. Wooden furniture laid around the room at odd angles and in weird places. Finding the piece most important to me, an oak desk that always held my wand, I walked over to it. Sleep still clung to my movements, making the grace and finesse in my steps become mulled over as if I consumed a bit too much alcohol. Grabbing the wand I headed downstairs to get ready for school.<br />As soon as I hopped from the last step to the ground, I ran into the kitchen. The glass wall facing Lake Superior was laced in water ripples from the drizzle. One thing on the window blocked me from seeing the view. A piece of crinkled parchment taped to the window. From where I stood I could already see that it was a note. Walking over to it, the note read:<br />Emily,<br />Went to shopping to find new clothing that mortals approve of, and, find Alexa a school to attend. Have fun at your first day of school. The bus will arrive at seven thirty.<br />-Domi, Dimitri, and Alexandria<br /><br />Great, I had to ride the bus and face the morning alone. Looking out the glass window once more I tried to calm myself. Small ripples disturbed the bays glass like water. I stared into those ripples, wanting them to wash away this new life I had to act like a good mortal girl in. I wanted the water to cleanse me of the days worry and make everything disappear except for my steady breathing. As usual it worked and I found myself mesmerized by the mortal nature. It deemed so much more soft and lush compared to that of Mizaray. The trees loomed with life and the forest floor was its own life giving utopia. Mizaray’s nature used to be like that once. Now it was altered and burned by the new king. Everything seemed fierce and well, doom like.<br />Soon I snapped out of the mesmerized state I forced myself into and made myself get ready. <br />Cool crisp air rushed against my face as I walked out the door. Droplets of dew stuck to me as tree branches hit me with their leaves. I felt at home in these woods, like they were a protected cocoon around me that I could be myself within. I let myself be one with nature as I looked down the daunting mile and a half driveway. I could see naught but forrest and sand from Domi would take away my wand and spell books. Those were my two most prized possessions in this world besides my broom, the Lightning Strike 700.oholamnaqadarghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03322490213781407865noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132288613828933780.post-21256150983436054622009-10-29T22:30:00.001-07:002009-10-29T22:30:12.468-07:00nc nonprofitsLast week I attended the <b>N.C.</b> Center for <b>Nonprofits</b>' annual conference in Concord, <b>N.C.</b> and it was wonderful.
