Voting Question: Do I have a hardware or software problem?

I have a laptop with a core i5 450m and NVIDIA GeForce GT330M switchable (cuda) graphics. I have noticed a problem though with the switchable graphics feature... First off, I have had NO problems with the NVIDIA graphics...i have tried to make this happen but it won't with the NVIDIA graphics however... when i have the intel graphics on (to save battery), when i unplug the laptops power cable the screen has horizontal bars flickering and doesn't stop until i refresh the screen (power difference i guess because the screen dims as it should to save battery life). This happens if i unplug it from the wall too, not just the laptop! Also, a sudden change in color (my black background to a new white word document) sometimes causes this to happen until i click on something or refresh the page. (only once though) Why? Yes, i have updated all graphic drivers. Yes, Windows 7 is updated! Whats wrong with the intel HD graphics? Please help! Do i have a hardware or software problem. I have an acer spire 5745g 3690

Voting Question: Air Force women, what was your experience while in the military?

I am considering joining the Air Force. I have been going to school forever now since i have changed my major a few times. I went for Psychology, and i just finished my first year for Graphic Design. I am tired of being broke and not having money, and not having motivation. I feel like i need something to give me drive, determination and discipline. I have maybe 3,500 in debt, majority of which was from school or buying things for school. It's time for a change, I've hit a wall. Tell me your experiences from Boot Camp to doing the school thing to what you did, how you were treated. Any regrets? What made you make the choice to go in, and did you get to travel? Where to?

Resolved Question: Inserting something in vagina hurts?

About 7 months ago I was sexually assaulted but all I remember was extreme pain like a knife but i barely remember the night so I can't really explain (i was a virgin before the assault) Afterwards i went to get a pelvic exam or whatever and I couldnt because it just hurt so much so the nurse said I might have vaginismus recently I decided, screw this i want to be normal maybe i dont have this vaginismus thing, so I started practicing masturbating - i can get one finger in comfortably, and i've forced myself up to 3 I can now wear tampons which is great because I never did before (even super!!) so i'm excited about that i recently started practicing with the back end of a brush (that i dont use) its pretty big like 3 fingers or 4? (smushed together) i couldnt get it in at first but now I can all the way after using tampons *****EXCEPT when I put it in theres a portion of my vagina that hurts, it feels like when the brush is only halfway in it hurts but when its all the way in and i dont move it its fine, its like when i move the brush in and out it feels like its rubbing/scraping my vag walls. I was wondering if this is just because I have no experience or what? is it normal and will just go away after a while? i know this is graphic, sorry but i'm being serious my mom also has something called vulvodynia so now im like super paranoid that like i genetically inherited but it isnt even known if it can be genitcally inherited. i prob havent but eughh idk i just want to know if this pain is normal and is nothign to be worried about as of now

Resolved Question: Do I have SAD? If so, what do I do?

For the past few years I have been feeling increasingly depressed and fatigued particularly during the winter. Until recently I never contributed these feelings to an actual mood disorder because I have gone through many health quirks (severe ulcers, birth control reactions, heart murmers, vitamin d deficiency, hemochromatosis, food allergies, recurrent UTIs, recurrent sinusitis, recurrent bronchitis, hypoglycemia, etc.) that make me fatigued and stressed/depressed because I get behind in school and work. But now most of my "quirks" are more under control and I still feel depressed and tired. I have noticed that for years the navy colored walls in my room depress me and people complain that I turn on EVERY LIGHT wherever I am. (If I don't, I get tired and can't focus.) Last winter I got so fed up with being tired that I put 150 watts in every lightbulb and that seemed to make a little bit of a difference. The problem is that I am a graphic design major so I rarely get to go outside. Do people usually see psychologists or physicians about Seasonal Affective Disorder? (I'm not sure if my insurance would cover a psychologist.)

Resolved Question: Do Antidepressants work or any MDD medication?

Do any Anti-Depressants actually work? Putting it simply without expounding every possible psychological to biological theory lets move on to make this inquiry concise. I've had ADHD since 4th grade [citation needed], and had developed an inferiority complex which at first I could do things despite it, then I needed Coffee as a stimuli to get norepinephrine, serotonin et cetera flowing, basically get that tide of brain activity to be constant but as I tried I'd wake up tomorrow feeling like hell. Now even with Caffiene because of immunity I suspect I cannot motivate myself to stay concentrated on anything, I in turn procrastinate it never finishing anything. No matter how hard I try to re-direct myself to work at even I enjoy doing, which is creating e.g computer graphic designing, drawing, painting and writing in the end I just get discouraged. It seems Antidepressant usage as a successful band-aid is subjective. However advances in psychiatry and bioengineering are researching better ways to increase brain activity in people with MDD i.e. Depression http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8bPbHuOZXg that is one of the examples of what I'm talking about. I know there are other ways to cure depression even naturally without medications but I don't want to I'm stubborn, I want to keep my original personality, yes the pessimistic and somewhat realist ideals. I prefer to practice epistemology and be analytical wherever possible. The metaphysical and mind-boggling existence we live in excites me. I like existentialism and it enthralls me to read about theories of the mechanics of how the known universe operates on a chemical to metaphysical level. It's fascinating to observe the subjectivity of others and how that's made an impact on the development of this civilization we live in. But I can't truly learn and practice their principles because of my problems. There's this huge impregnable wall that makes me uncontrollably negative about doing things it's like I'm setting myself up for misery, it's programmed and inherent it's a part of my personality and thus a hard habit to break. And I have problems even doing hobbies. I'm also not in Employment, Education or Training; remaining socially inept is fine for me I just want to do what I like that's all. Even though reading about the suggestions of others may be vain for me I'm just going to ask regardless. I'm not satisfied with this question but I'll post anyway. Danielle's suggestion may be the best answer but I just don't want to do what was suggested. Yeah I got social anxiety above all socially inept. I like it that way but I don't like being hindered and the only way to re-direct myself is that I supposedly need others to overcome depression. That is why this question is vain, I don't want all that peer support, therapy stuff. I want to keep everything that made me who I am. I want to overcome it differently is essentially what I'm saying.

Resolved Question: Dream - fire, a burned friend, and agas fireplace in my parents house - interpretation help please?

The dream starts in my parents living room. Their old fireplace is pulled out of the wall and the gas fittings are behind it. My close male friend A is inside this alcove, behind the fitting playing, with gas valves and sparks etc. My Dad and another man (possibly my Grandad) are encouraging him to try different things with valves and matches etc. I am watching from the doorway. The next minute, flames light up the alcove and my Dad and the other man drag my friend out. I make my way to the kitchen to run water to tend to his burns. By the time I get there he has already been put in the washing up bowl and I can just fill a plastic jug with cold water and pour it over his arm. I hold his forearm and his skin starts to move and ocme away like the skin on an overripe peach. He starts talking in a pained voice and sayign how the incident has made him realise how easy it is to lose people more than anything. When I look at his face his nose has been burned off. I am unusually calm. Any insights? It was pretty horribly graphic. I've left out most details people would be disturbed by. Bad? Not really. There is a lot of uncertainty now though (I am writing my Masters dissertation while on a simultaneous and required work placement that people keep implying could end in a job... if I do well enough...) and I am trying to decide between going back to my home village to get married, stay in a long distance relationship, and cut myself loose and travel/go where the work is.

Resolved Question: Severe thunder/pressure/liquid and no time which made a mess and I still feel like a mess >easy 10 points?

This is a story that had happened yesterday and throughout today, - I feel I need to explain this experience, cause I am not the only one here where this happens too. Just have to do it unless you are going outside so the noise can't be herd in the house which wasn't a possibility but as you read you will find out why and the only one solution could have dampened the situation could not be done so it had to be done here in house.. Graphic Details - You are forewarned I ate food my father cooked earlier in the night last night and 4 hours later stomach pains came so decided to lay down to rest but had to get up and take a major dump it felt and my stomach pain was extreme but it is the worse when you have to take a unstable dump ( a dump where it feels like it is not solid and is going to come out with extreme pressure making a lot of noise!!!) So I didn't know what to do. Go out back and deal with it the next day but this wasn't going to happen. So the unstable dump situation was at the critical level, point of no return, juice from the rectum was breaking the rectum bearer started to become compromised. I was wearing boxers and a pair of sleeping pajamas and the juice had broken the rectum barrier, short burst of highly pressurized mucus rectum juice with muddy thick layer would come out and that was it, any second now it would comprise my boxers and be on the skin, mucous, liquid feces, seeping down my leg, at any second, second, when does happen I worry it is going to be a uncontrollable movement and it will be a large,very large explosion and I need to be on the toilet. I left room, grabbed a pair of clean boxers,I stumbled up the hall way to the bathroom, sweating, as more short bursts of juice would blast out now soaking through the boxers and horrible muddy wet feeling covering a large area, making it down my skin, feel pieces dripping on my bare legs and all over the pajamas. My stomach hurting to the extreme, I feel like once I release all of this I will be able to rest some. I drop my panamas, let them fall off with my boxers carefully not getting the juice anymore else on me, ready to exploade. As I try to release slowly it would just come out but make a horrible farting sound as it would happen, horrid "like wtf was that", and I couldn't it take it anymore, every time I tried however slow it would happen, making that extreme high pitch to thundering bass The pain was way to intense. I now had my shirt off from the sweat, exhaustion of this thing. so shaking in pain I didn't know what to do, I and lost control and a ton of liquid and chunks came out but for a good 20 seconds, 20 seconds is a very long time when it is 3 AM in the morning and a drop of water is heard well through the house even how large it is, everything just is so much louder. The loudness of this farting sound echoing through the walls was horrible, I hit the flusher to cover up the sound since this public bathroom in the home has no fan for some reason. I had to do it a couple more times, even over that you could hear the roar of the farts that night, the extreme liquid pressure hitting the water was making a loud splash. My god, it was like thunder going off, the most embarrassing night, imagine if you were hearing this, you would be like that is no dump,Ive heard. Extreme high pressure stream of pure **** hitting the water where it was just blasting back up, talking if my bum wasn't sealed over the seat it would be all over the walls with a powerful stream like that. know the sound alone had to wake somebody up and we are talking loud, not commonly heard and these were off the scale and to top it off, the pressure released was so extreme, talking about pressure washer PSI (RED TIP) cause the exit fluid when once it hit the bowl water splashed up everywhere causing a bloody mess with the feeling of cold, feces water all over my exposed body, bum, normally you wipe in one area, i had needed a towel, big mess.BTW I am completly naked, pajamas came off first with boxers, shirt came off from all the sweat and using a towel to wipe my leg, back of thigh and my entire butt, wet with small debris of shit, was a horrible mess. So much pain, alot of it went away, wasn't so extreme but i just left the bathroom as is, my pajama with crap all through them, a pair of white boxers, left the bath room, put on boxers and climbed into bed, passed out finally. Not the only one am that has respect for the family, or do some not care and take a unstable dump when ones are trying to sleep. just something another female does when at her boyfriends house for dinner, just syaing for example, but the above is a story that had happen, and stomach is still in some unstable weird pains. My stomach still hurts, what do I do to calm it down, Ive taken 40mg of oxycodone and starting to feel better but going to try some more and lay down, watch some tv, will tums help. Ive been scared to take an I don't think I have to see the dr, since it has not happened today, what I didn't say yesterday after that story above i woke up 2 hours later and sad to say it i ran to the toilet, exploded with pure putrid gas and following came the high pressure stream that it is a straight stream and that is why the water splashes so hard against my anus and bum, do you think there is a problem since the water in the bowl is not clean and it was mixed with that juice mucus mixture and muddy layer poo is what is splashing on my skin bum, anus so should I worry about infection, I was tired ans sick so I just used my bath towel and wiped my butt bum and legs clean dry and just climbed into bed.. plan on washing the blankets tomorrow

Resolved Question: how can I teach my husband to be rougher in bed?

Im 25 and married.. My husband and I have been together for 6 years and we have a great marriage! I'm very attracted to him, but sex with him is just not doing it for me. He's very attentive and gentle during sex, but I would like for him to be more aggressive and like calls me names, talk dirty to me, pin me down and have his way with me. I'm very much a control freak, so the idea of being completely dominated in bed really turns me on! I've always felt this way, but as my life gets bigger and more hectic, and I have more responsibilities, I find myself wanting this more and more. we've talked about it in the past, and I've told him what I want him to do to me, to which he says: "we'll have to try it." but then when it comes down to it, he just pulls out all the same moves and I'm left confused and frustrated. During sex, I've asked him to slap my ass, pull my hair pinch my nipples, etc, and he will (sorta light and soft though) but ONLY when I tell him to. When I talk dirty to him he only replies with sweet lovey dovey remarks, its so frustrating! I once bought an issue of Maxim Magazine that had an article about primal sex, where they were talking about how a lot of women like rough sex, and I flagged the page with a sticky note and left it on the coffee table. He found it and asked why I was reading it and I told him I think it sounds like a lot of fun. I figured he'd get the hint, but still nothing. I also tried taking dirty pics of myself and sending them to him at work with a description of what I wanted him to do to me ( which was so graphic) but instead I come home to candles and flowers and a massage?! Once I told him that my biggest fantasy was to come home and be thrown up against the wall and raped hard and forced to do whatever he wanted me to( No I have never been sexually abused nor did I have a traumatic childhood, its just the idea of being totally helpless that turns me on!) and asked what his fantasy was, and that whatever it was I would do it for him, but he says he doesent have any? I'm at my wits end with this, and I spend most nights masturbating to p*rn and faking a headache. What can I do to teach him that this is what I need to be satisfied sexually? Maybe he thinks I'm a freak, I don't know, but I love him and trust him and don't think I should be ashamed of my sexual identity. Helpp! Ok, so Im not asking any of you to do what I do, or like what I like, so theres no need to criticize. And I think everyone has the right to be a lil selfish when it comes to sex! Plus, I am all for whatever he wants to do in bed, problem is he claims he doesent have any fantasies. And trust me, when I tell him what I want I am NEVER pg about it, but his responses always are. **sigh**

Voting Question: Gemini cheated on me , still trying to make it work . How does a Taurus get over infidelity?

my gemini bf cheated on me (surprise surprise ) i caught him, because i saw that he was acting suspiciously .. hes been lying to girls online , and starting sexual conversations with strangers on fb. hes put that he is single for a few months on fb. also i found out hes been having phone sex with a girl who lives in texas. shes sent him naked pics of herself and i found them . he lied and told her he didnt have a gf. she even wrote him a sex story about them .. and i read it :( in it she used several fantasies and nicknames that i know she got from him because he and made those fantasies together when we first started dating . i wont get graphic . but he calls her something that he used to call me when we had kinky sex back in the day. i dont think hes actually had sex with anyone .. hes a huge workaholic but i know he was proposing in one email to meet up with some random girl for drinks. i told him everything yesterday. and i was an emotional mess i wanted to kill him and cry and throw myself out of the window. he said he was very sorry and that he felt it wasnt real cheating because it wasnt physical . we havent really sat down and had a conversation about it . i am mostly just letting out my anger in sarcastic resentful remarks. we have chosen to work it out and stay together . i'll admit that i havent had good sex with him in a while mostly i havent felt good about it. He's a gemini sun and moon and mars Taurus rising Venus in Leo (its true they really are two face lying manipulators) im a taurus sun and moon and mercury VEnus and Mars in Pisces.

Resolved Question: am I wrong for being mad?

So I did a typical crazy girlfriend thing that I will admit I should never do. I am also aware that a healthy relationship is based on trust. Before I begin I will explain the relationship first. My boyfriend and I have been on and off for about four years. Between fighting and not knowing what each other wanted- witch was basically me because I always think I want better for myself, and a better life but love and the fact that we were best friends kept me going back. Anyway... I was really bored yesterday and decided that I would snoop his facebook. I went all the way back to Jan of this year. During this time I discovered a few sexual messages from another girl. One was a comment on a picture stating that she wanted to sleep with him, the other was a message about how she liked his private part!! and the other was a post about sex and things you shouldn't say in bed. Now I have a pretty graphic memory and I remember about this time I was busy with two jobs and helping with my brothers baby, so maybe we weren't seeing a lot of each other or on a break but i remember we were still talking. I messaged the girl a pretty harsh message and she replied with..you weren't in the picture when we were hanging out. I called him at work and freaked witch I realize wasn't the best way to handle it, and his story isn't adding up. I just know there is more then them hanging out. I just feel like he should of told me about them. He said that they hung out but once he realized she liked him he stopped. Mean while a few weeks ago she was texting him. He says that she is married and that's a lie. Anyway when I confronted him he said that I was crazy for looking at his wall and he hated me and wanted me to move out. After four years he couldn't under stand why this would upset me? So now I am moving out and it's being chalked up to me being crazy, instead of us dealing with the fact that he lied. I just want to know people's opinion on the situation. If you were in my shoes what would you do? and how many of you have snooped through ur boyfriends stuff??

Resolved Question: I think I have a good concept for a manga graphic novel. What do you think?

Here’s the basic concept without giving too much away. It's a dystopian cyberpunk-type of manga Title: Arise! Setting and Background Story: The year 2500 in dystopian-era post-World War 4 Japan. The world has been “united” under a single regime that has taken away the individual rights and governments of countries. The "Administrator"(the guy who rules the world) gives speeches saying world peace has been achieved but there is only oppression. Rumors are spreading of unspeakable acts committed by government officials(like brainwashing!) and of a rebel group called the Undergrounds, that is trying to overthrow the government and restore truth and freedom. Main plot: 19 year old female otaku, Arisa Yamamoto lives an unremarkable life with her parents in Tokyo. Her parents are exasperated at their daughter’s lack of motivation to have a real life, pressuring to be more like her super smart brother or her beautiful and social sister. But all Arisa cares about is video games, her V-log feed, and her favorite Underground band Jellyphish. One night, when Arisa finally ventures out of her house, she goes to the Underground scene and she meets the eccentric, romantic Skye, a thrill-seeking traveler from what used to be America. Even though Arisa thinks the girl is insane they become friends. The action really begins when Skye gets Arisa out of the house again and begins to include her in her exciting (and illegal) pranks. The two go to a Jellyphish concert at the Poison Lotus, a night club in the Underground. After the show Skye convinces Arisa to do something really risky and they discover a secret room through a wall of the club. There they learn that the band are not just supporters of the Underground movement but are key members as well. The lead singer and owner of the nightclub, Ai Kamikaze, has actually been red listed as Undesirable #2 by the Sector 5 government right above the band‘s bassist Ren(who turns out to be Ai‘s love interest). The Underground of Tokyo holds their meetings here and the girls find secret info about their operations as well as ominous secrets about the government, showing that the state of the world is worse than they thought. When the band comes in and they’re discovered the girls are forced to join the movement and keep all secrets or be Silenced (brain washed and stripped off all mental function) At this point they are thrust into the full tilt of the rebellion(secret missions, riots, running, jumping, fighting people you get the picture.)

Resolved Question: How can I get over this situation that happened in class? I don't understand people!?

Okay well it wasn't really a situation, but the girl didn't want to say anything when I turn around to give her like an "excuseeee me?" kind of face. Okay well first off it was my first day in drivers ed, there was a bunch of us from all different schools there was like four ppl in there who knew each other, but we were all fairly new which I was cool with. I just talked to this guy at where I sat at really and sat with him and like 5 others at lunch. Oh yeah and there was another guy who sat across from me at lunch who is going to my old school and ALSO went to my most recent school and I tried to start a convo with him like "oh yeah, do you like it there, I hated it" and he just basically blew me off! I mean no one at the table was even talking really at all and he just kind of evaded my eyes and just drank his little root beer and I was like umm okay? I mean never even seen the guy before, but is it just that I'm a girl? Is he shy? I mean I just don't get people! but yeah when we came back from lunch we went on as usual, I'm kind of always talking and asking questions. I don't really talk by choice, usually, the officer is always talking to me about random crap because I'm one of the few people who seem to have a voice in the class besides the girl behind me. Ah yes, the girl behind me, didn't start speaking until after lunch and she also seems to be a realll biotch. I hate looking at the graphic bloody pictures of drivers in drivers ed, so the officer was just like okay meggan this next one is gonna be graphic I was like uhh okay officer person! and he asked me can I even watch a scary movie and I said I couldn't even watch chucky(which is true) and then right after that the girl goes in the bluntest, rudest, and loudest way "OKAY JUST CHANGER IT FORREAL LIKE OMG" and I was just like... I'm pretty sure I was just talking. So I turn around look right at her, and told her to chill outt. Of course being the little preppy annoying plastic she is, all she can do is give me a shocked/snobby face. I mean, I just don't understand because I mean, no one even knows anyone besides the four people on the other side of the room! It's rediculous. I just kind of feel lost and feel like I'm in the wrong in this situation because I actually talk and ask questions about the actual drivers test. Teenagers are so freaking annoying mann. I think I'm just more open to say stuff because I'm way beyond where I don't feel embarrased if I say the wrong thing and I will confront you right there if you say something rude, but I mean idk. I guess I can just get used to people within a matter of minutes while others it takes a few days or even a few weeks. But yeah to sum it up, I'm the kid who the teacher always picks on, but really enjoys talking to and that everyone expects an answer out of. And like I said, I don't really understand the meaning of "walls" I can just start randomly talking to someone and not give a crap whether they like me or not because there is absolutely nothing I can do to change their opinion, but I can keep them in check and keep them from disrespecting me and some other kid who's too shy to say anything back. I think if most teens just realized that it's possible to not be f'd with by just standing your ground and not being disrespected, teenage years wouldn't be such of a biotch to deal with lol Oh and just one more example: Someone decided to call me stupid bc I raised my hand about a "right of way" situation. I did call him out, didn't know where it came from, but he certainly didn't want to be found out because no one wanted to say anything after I asked the class so I said alright then .So after he called on me I asked, are we talking about people or cars? Being the ignorant class they are, laughed at it thinking it was a dumb question. Actually, it turns out it wasn't and the next slide pretty much explained exactly why. I was basically asking is he talking about a situation with pedestrians or a situation with another car? I'm just SO sick of teens being like this! Can't we all just be adults? I mean I love to have fun, but yeah it's actually possible for me not to constantly try and burn people or make them feel bad. That is zero fun for me, it just makes me feel like a total biotch. I can call people out the second they try and treat me with disrespect and they can never own up to themselves because they know it's just not right. I can garantee they won't like it if someone talked to them like they talk to people. I live in a small town, but we were all from pretty different schools. I had one girl from summer school there, but I don't talk to here. Are people always like this? Do they decide to grow up by the time we get in college? I sure hope so. And I really hope I just got a really really biotchy group of people who w Wow, um okay well it's OBVIOUSLY a long question so I need to give you a "heads up" when all you simply need to do is scroll down a few times on the page. Lol.

Resolved Question: Is it bad to have graphic sexual or close to sexual scenes in stories?

Don't fear the wall of text, ok.... so I have a story dilemma. I don't know what the average reader of a book thinks about sex scenes, I mean sure I am going to character development with them, but what do people really think about the graphic sex scenes, unneeded even if they match the story plot, immoral, or what? I haven't had but one book plot that needs a graphic sex scene and I haven't started on the book yet. So what are opinions on these kinds of scenes? Also, what to people think of scenes where it comes *close* to sex. Below is one of my own, it is a *Close to* sexual scene, its the touching and stuff basically and gradually leads up to just seconds away from actual sex, but another character interrupts them and turns it into a comedic segment later on. Because ((Right before their lips met, Dan said one last thing. “The right thing to do isn’t always right.” They locked lips once again, and he laid her down on the sidewalk. He wished he could spend the rest of his life with her, he wanted to be able to marry her, and he wanted to make love to her repeatedly, never wanting to stop. She lied down on the hard concrete, looking up at him. He kissed her on the lips once more, and he rubbed his hand up her thigh, moving her skirt up as he unzipped his jeans with his other hand. “Laine. I need you.” He said, “I won’t be able to go on without you.” Another tear fell from his cheek, “And If this really is our last night together...” He paused, taking in another deep breath. “I love you.” Laine said, she wrapped her arms around him and brought him down to her and kissed him once again. He slowly began to pull down his jeans as he kissed her, he stared into her shining green eyes, and he slowly brought his body closer to her. He caressed her hair and slowly raised her shirt, gently kissing her on the chest, he moved down and slowly began pulling down her skirt as his pace of breathing began to increase, and she just smiled up at him, beginning to unbutton her shirt. He smiled as he slicked back his hair, kissing her again, slowly moving his knees between her legs. He ran his finger along the brim of her panties, she giggled, and he smiled. He began to slide them down, exposing the pale and untouched skin of her waist, he almost pulled them down over her hips, but the loud clang of the Gas Station door behind them startled them both, Laine clutched her skirt and Dan shrieked as he whirled around to see what was happening. “Damn it.” Dan muttered, as he saw Frankie step out of the gas station with his arms clutching several bottles of water, and his face ablaze with a questionably shocked, and entertained expression. )) First off, is that any good, and secondly, is it too much or does it have you interested more in Dan and Laine? And possibly Frankie?

Resolved Question: Awesome writer people, can I have your opinion on the intro to my story?

This is the beginning of a short story that I wrote. Tell me straight up--is it too graphic? I know it looks long, but a lot of it is just one sentence paragraphs. Oh, yeah. I wouldn't mind if you judged the writing, too. But I'm only eighteen, so please don't be too harsh! :D (That was a joke, btw. Be as much of a jerk as you want.) **** The girl didn't so much mind being dead. No, no, not at all. It was the actual dying part that had been particularly nasty. Well, not the whole falling thing, actually. She'd kind of liked that part. Hair slapping her in the face, wind stinging her ears, the eighteenth floor balcony slipping farther and farther away... That sense of flying. That weird sensation of being— Enlightened? Was that the word? Had to be. She didn't worry or remember or think. Her mind was a blank. She just felt. Exhilaration. Adrenaline. An electric shock of power, as if her whole body had just licked a 9-volt battery. She was alive. Yes—alive! If she'd had time to think about it, she would've laughed at the irony. She hit the ground with a sound reminiscent of wet meat slapping a tiled kitchen floor. Then— Pain. For just a split second, there was pain, flooding every part of her body. It danced up her neck, her arms, her legs, through her fingers and toes. A wildfire. It bounced around inside her head like a pinball, smacking nerves and striking the walls of her skull with such a force that it cracked. She took one last breath. Barely a breath. More like a tiny gasp, louder than thunder in her ears. Her lungs rejected it. Locked. Forgot how to breathe. There was a gentle tugging, somewhere deep inside her. Like there was a chain wrapped around her heart and someone was carefully, hesitantly, pulling in the slack. Her eyes fluttered open, glimpsed a splash of red. She tried to breathe again. Then— Another tug on the chain, harder. The girl blinked, and, for a brief moment, she was looking at herself. Broken. Bloody. Splatters of red bloomed around her, as if she were outlined by a Jackson Pollock painting. The girl blinked again, frantically trying to put the pieces together, but her thoughts were a jumble, melting into one another and evaporating almost as soon as they were made. One last glance at herself on the ground, and her mind wondered, feebly: Who is that? @Gesnarf: Concerning your third point, you ARE wrong, but I can see how you'd get that impression and I appreciate you bringing that up. In my head, the girl didn't jump, but I never make that clear in my writing. Also, with the whole "feeling alive" thing while plummeting to an inevitable death, I can totally see how it comes off sounding like I encourage or glamorize suicide. (Though I never considered this before.) @Everyone else who's posted: Thanks! Even if you didn't give me any concrit, I still appreciate your opinion. :]

Resolved Question: Can you proofread this please?

Hi, this is an scholarship essay i was wondering if you could proofread this/tell me what you think/offer suggestions to make this better. Thanks You I used to lie in bed starring at my blank white ceiling wall dreaming about the bright city lights, the skyscrapers coving the horizon, and the countless businessmen in suits. I dreamt that one day I would become one of those businessmen kids dream about, the one that drives a nice car with a big house and a perfect family. This was my American Dream. Years separated from the days I would fall asleep dreaming about my life; the future is now the present and I strive to accomplish everything I had dreamt about and more. Now I attend school at Georgia State University, which sits in the heart of downtown Atlanta. The endless opportunities to professionally network, achieve academically, and to grow as a person made Georgia State University the perfect fit for me. Georgia State University also happened to be extremely well known for their Computer Information Systems program which what I’m currently majoring in. It’s one of the beginning steps on the road to achieving my American dreams. After obtaining my undergraduate degree, I hope to attend a top tier law school and become a corporate lawyer for a Fortune 500 company. Although I realize 7 years of school which includes 3 years of law school will cost an enormous amount of money, I plan and hope through hard work and determination I can finish those 7 years debt free with minimal financial stress on my family. I’ve been working at Meadowbrook Country Club since the day I turned 16, putting in as many hours as possible during the school years and throughout the summers. During the college school year, when I’m not in class I spend my time at the Georgia State Athletics Department creating graphic designs such as flyers, posters, brochures and website designs for 30 hours a week. Money from work combined with scholarships will hopefully allow me to successfully slide by the financial aspect of college and onto the real world where I my American dream awaits.

Resolved Question: How do I go about selling wall art / tshirts / etc?

I have a lot of experience in graphic design and photography and have been building websites since I was eleven years old. I've recently started designing things for the walls in my home and having them printed on photo paper at office depot and then buying frames to put them in. Everyone that has seen them has asked for copies so I thought since people liked my work, maybe I could make some money off of it. My question is mainly concerning wall art... When you buy framed wall art, the back doesn't come off of it like a normal frame does. Where can I get these type of frames and is it okay to resell these with my work inside of them? Any suggestions or advice is welcome. Thanks!

Resolved Question: What can I do to improve this essay for a debate on violent video games vs. catharsis?

In English 11, we're doing a debate on whether or not violent video games should be banned--my group supports the ban, though understand that pretty much EVERYTHING was chosen /for us/, and according to the teacher, what we believe personally doesn't matter. Anyway, we're required to write a constructive speech, and my argument is based on violent video games as a method of letting off steam. Essentially, in my argument, I'm required to explain the catharsis theory, disprove it, and then relate it to violent video games. I'm currently stuck because I need to find a transition between disproving the catharsis theory and relate it to video games, plus make sure that my argument is as flawless as I can possibly make it. I know I'm taking a gamble with it, though... Here's my essay (sorry it's so long--this stupid speech has to be five minutes, and I've currently got about 2), and remember, THIS IS NOT WHAT I PERSONALLY BELIEVE. I'm just trying to pass! Humans experience many emotions, anger being one of the strongest. When we get angry, we feel a need to express our anger, but the human conscience (not to mention laws) can prevent us from harming other people directly. The idea of using indirect and less harmful outlets to control our temper has been around for a long time, and is often used to argue against the banning of violent video games—better a pixelated image than a real person, after all. However, as stated by my fellow teammates, viewing violence and being in control of graphic violence such as the gore in many of today’s video games does not rid us of “the primal urge to kill” that can be aroused when faced with conflict--instead, it increases the urge, and defines a clearer picture of what we wish to do to the opponent. (Encyclopedia of Communication and Information: Catharsis and Media Effects). Secondly, this idea of providing alternate outlets for aggression—called the “catharsis theory”--is a hypothesis, and “has virtually never been supported by research.” (Tavris, 1988) The catharsis theory states that if one is to release aggressive energy through action or fantasy--such as punching a wall repeatedly or running over innocents in a violent video game--they will experience an "emotional release", and therefore be relieved of previous aggression, which is essentially a fancy way of saying "letting off steam." (Meyers, Psychology VIII Edition, 536) However, recent studies have shown that the exact opposite occurs: rather than purge the system of violent thoughts, it primes them, by temporarily avoiding the problem and spurring further conflict when a person has had time to mull it over. In a 2002 study by Brad Bushman, he found that people who vented their anger through violent actions or talked about what irked them were more hostile afterwards, especially when they thought about the person who angered them--when given a punching bag, these people became "even more aggressive" because they were given a chance to exact a pretend revenge against that person. In the end, Bushman concluded that "Venting to reduce anger is like using gasoline to put out a fire." (Bushman, 2002) Even though expressing anger through cathartic actions does not leave us feeling guilty or anxious, and makes us feel better, this "afterglow" is only temporary. You could say that it's much like drowning your sorrows in alcohol; the problem is avoided and temporarily forgotten, but not solved. By the time you return to real life, you're left with a hangover and the same conflict, except this time around you're more likely to act out against the person or thing that aggravated you in the first place, leading to further conflict. As aforementioned, catharsis is a common argument against the banning of violent video games. I need help developing my next point, please! Ok, well, like I said, it's not what we personally believe. All of the topics were chosen for us, and they were all pretty bad topics--either they were too biased or one side was much, much, MUCH stronger than the other. I know that we don't have much chance to win, but I'm more focused on finishing the essay. Either way, we're not talking Mario and Sonic, etc. We're talking about the /super/ violent video games, like Grand Theft Auto 4 and San Andreas, Halo 3, Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty, etc that kids are getting ahold of. I guess I neglected to mention that we're NOT saying excessive play of violent video games CAUSES violence in youth, but we're arguing that it might encourage it, as there have been multiple studies that show that the brain is effected by viewing violence, more so with video games since the player controls the violence. I know that we don't have much chance to win, but I'm more focused on finishing the essay.

Resolved Question: Better resolution for my Ps3 Games?

hi guys. i have a ps3 and a samsung tv. when i go to displaying setting it tells it is 480i, which i've been told is the worst graphic resolution for the ps3. Is 480i the highest my tv can handle? btw i bought a HDMI cable cord for better resolution. It was very confusing at first where to plug it in cuz i have like 2 dvd players, 2 vcr players, and 1 cable thing that we got from time warner cable(looks like a vcr box but no ejection thing). after 1 hour of trial and errors, i found out that the cable box was "hogging" the hdmi cable. i found a hdmi cable that connects from the cable box to the tv. so im like "oh thats why the resolution doesnt go up on my ps3, i plugged it in wrong" so i unplugged this 2nd HDMI cable cord and used my OWN hdmi cable that connects ps3 to tv. the problem is the tv in attached to the wall (thanks dad, practicality matters not appearance) so the hdmi cable connected to the tv is like IMPOSSIBLE to reach. to unplug the cable cord i would have to rip the tv out of the wall. any solutions? Will getting the 2nd hdmi cord and plugging it in to my ps3 while still plugged to the tv the same thing? So is buying another HDMI cable cord a waste of money, cuz i can switch off ps3 or cable box with that single corD?

Voting Question: 2nd request- please help me figure this out...?

I'm 37 years old, have been dating a guy for about four months. He is 41. He has been married twice... The first time to his high school sweetheart, they have 3 daughters and were together about 12 years. He then married another girl but she left after less than a year, he has been divorced from her about a year. I don't really know the reasons behind his divorces... The 2nd wife left (according to him) because she wanted to see other people. Whatever that means... So, he lives about 60 miles away and we spend the night together anywhere from once to three times per week. He drinks most days of the week, and when we go out, we always seem to drink. I've never been a big drinker, but with him, I find myself drinking more than I normally do. He drinks most nights at home by himself. The problem is that he just gets really weird when we're making plans... Like most guys I have dated aren't set on a time, but this guy doesn't want me at his house until he is literally ready to go out... He'll text me "I'm ready" when he's ready to go. Then, when we're out, he can't keep his eyes off of every short skirt that walks by... I mean it's BAD... He just stares and stares. I met him the same way in a bar... I saw him around for a few weeks and he would stare at me, and we finally got the nerve to talk. After he has 3-4 drinks, he's all over me and always wants me to stay with him. We have sex, but half the time he can't keep it up (graphic I know). He doesn't act like it's a big deal, so I'm sure I'm not the first woman it's happened with. The other issue is that he almost constantly makes reference to "ex #1" or "ex #2," I just don't know how he could possibly care for me and want to be with me if he's always talking about his ex's and staring at other girls. I haven't brought anything up to him about the "issues..." I think that these are areas that a guy would KNOW better than to talk about with his current girlfriend. I can't change the guy.... He says he likes me, but I'm not so sure. Maybe I'm just someone to fill in the blanks right now? Maybe he's just too screwed up for me to be with? Also, he's had some legal problems... He got arrested with pot and for driving without a valid license right after I met him. I don't do drugs, so I was concerned, but decided that I liked him enough to stay with him as long as he was willing to do whatever was needed to get his license back. He did get an attorney and is working on getting his **** together legally.... I texted him this morning that I'm just not sure of his feelings, that I am confused as to if we should be together and he sent me a msg back that said "I don't get it." When I explained more, he texted me back "I just don't know what I am doing wrong." I haven't heard another word from him since 11am this morning... I'm guessing that he's either mad, hurt, or just doesn't give a damn. Maybe all three. I think I have been VERY good to this guy. I make sure to tell him what a great guy I think he is, we talk about everything for HOURS sometimes. I am really upset and hurt and angry over his behavior.... I just don't know what the HELL to think! Any advice at all would be appreciated... I feel like I'm banging my head against the wall here... After 4 months, I would think that we should be on the same page as far as if this relationship is going forward, or we should end up. He hasn't introduced me to anyone in his family... His girls haven't been over more than 3 times since I met him due to his license issue. He has met my mom and son. Thanks for any thoughts.... Kacey

I saw him around for a few weeks and he would stare at me, and we finally got the nerve to talk. After he has 3-4 drinks, he's all over me and always wants me to stay with him. We have sex, but half the time he can't keep it up (graphic I know). He doesn't act like it's a big deal, so I'm sure I'm not the first woman it's happened with. The other issue is that he almost constantly makes reference to "ex #1" or "ex #2," I just don't know how he could possibly care for me and want to be with me if he's always talking about his ex's and staring at other girls. I haven't brought anything up to him about the "issues..." I think that these are areas that a guy would KNOW better than to talk about with his current girlfriend. I can't change the guy.... He says he likes me, but I'm not so sure. Maybe I'm just someone to fill in the blanks right now? Maybe he's just too screwed up for me to be with? Also, he's had some legal problems... He got arrested with pot and for driving without a valid license right after I met him. I don't do drugs, so I was concerned, but decided that I liked him enough to stay with him as long as he was willing to do whatever was needed to get his license back. He did get an attorney and is working on getting his shit together legally.... I texted him this morning that I'm just not sure of his feelings, that I am confused as to if we should be together and he sent me a msg back that said "I don't get it." When I explained more, he texted me back "I just don't know what I am doing wrong." I haven't heard another word from him since 11am this morning... I'm guessing that he's either mad, hurt, or just doesn't give a damn. Maybe all three. I think I have been VERY good to this guy. I make sure to tell him what a great guy I think he is, we talk about everything for HOURS sometimes. I am really upset and hurt and angry over his behavior.... I just don't know what the HELL to think! Any advice at all would be appreciated... I feel like I'm banging my head against the wall here... After 4 months, I would think that we should be on the same page as far as if this relationship is going forward, or we should end up. He hasn't introduced me to anyone in his family... His girls haven't been over more than 3 times since I met him due to his license issue. He has met my mom and son. Thanks for any thoughts.... Kacey

Resolved Question: Does these dreams of a girl I like mean anything?

So I like this girl who I sit next to in class. We have never talked. Ever. And the year is about to end. I'm a senior and she's a junior. She is the quiet type that doesn't talk with anyone in the class, and outside of it she hangs out with the . . "weirdos." We're both kind of "contradictions" -- she's kind of an African American scene girl, and I'm an Asian who dresses, walks, and talks like anyone would from West Philly. She's into drawing and stuff, and I'm into artsy things also (graphic design, drawing, photography), and she's definently has a soft spot for animals, as do I. But she never saw that side of me. I don't know why I have these strong feelings for her. . She's ALWAYS on my mind, to the point where I'm irritated and constantly questioning myself why I can't get her out; I mean we haven't even talked. - - - - - - - Anyways. The last two or three weeks, she keeps popping up in my dreams. I'll try to describe the ones I do remember . . - - 1) In the first dream, we were at school, but weirdly, two walls were missing, and it felt like we were outdoors. We were finally talking and having a realistic conversation with each other. And that was about it. - - 2) A week or so later, I had a dream that I was sitting on the bus on the window side and she was next to me. Then a bit later she moved away from me to a different seat. Like she was trying to get away from me. - - 3) Not too long later, I can't really remember exactly, but it was the same concept as the above. We were talking and she walked away from me while we were talking. - - 4) The one I had last night was weird. I had a dream that there was rumors going around saying she was really a boy. I think this odd event had something to do with my Psychology class, where my teacher taught me about schizophrenia and how you don't know what's real and what isn't (I was, for a second, thinking "she's too good to be true," in real life). Anyways. I remember . . some kind of proof came up that she was a boy. I don't really know how to explain it specifically, but I felt like . . uh . . I guess heartbroken. Disappointed. Something. And then I finally woke up and was never so relieved. So yeah. Do these dreams mean anything at all? some tarot cards or psychic stuff? Thanks for the help.

Resolved Question: How should I redecorate my bedroom?

I'm a 14 year old girl. I wanted to paint my room navy and have light pink stripes on my shorter walls, but I can't find a comforter that would match that I like. And if I find a comforter I like, I wouldn't know what color to paint my walls. I love most stuff at pbteen.com , so if you know of any places that have cute items for rooms like that , it'd be a big help. But anyways, if you have any ideas. I'm willing to change my ideas if you give me some I like. Here are some links to comforters and bedroom items I like so you can get an idea of my style: http://www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=301&langId=-1&storeId=301&productId=501508177&view=80&No=80&N=1000913&searchUrl=%2Fendeca%2FEndecaStartServlet%3Fview%3D80%26No%3D80%26N%3D1000913&R=02787168 http://www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=301&langId=-1&storeId=301&productId=501097219&N=1590319+2010292&searchUrl=%2Fendeca%2FEndecaStartServlet%3FN%3D1590319%2B2010292&R=02238878 http://www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=301&langId=-1&storeId=301&productId=501951060&view=80&No=80&N=1000913&searchUrl=%2Fendeca%2FEndecaStartServlet%3Fview%3D80%26No%3D80%26N%3D1000913&R=03101836 http://www.pbteen.com/products/nouveau-floral-organic-duvet-cover-and-sham/?pkey=cgirls-duvet-covers http://www.pbteen.com/products/suite-organic-duvet-cover-and-sham/?pkey=cgirls-duvet-covers http://www.pbteen.com/products/wire-wall-letters/?pkey=cwall-accessories-decoration http://www.pbteen.com/products/graphic-garden-post-it-pinboard/?pkey=cwall-accessories-decoration http://www.pbteen.com/products/3x3-pink-bubble-dottie-style-tile-set/?pkey=cstyle-tiles Also for things like the last link, Style Tiles, maybe tell me how I could make my own so I don't have to pay $300 for one?

Resolved Question: How do you make a desk for a toddler?

Is this a stupid idea? We are making my 2 year old sons room look older looking but with childish flare. Light blue room, wooden blinds, wave graphic curtains, leather ottoman used as a toy chest, dark wood bookcase, bright childish artwork on the walls with his framed also, and now I want to put an L shaped desk that is his size in the corner of his room. I think it would be a good place so he could color on it and add to the artwork in his room. They have the wooden top at Menards that's really heavy and looks sort of like a kitchen counter top but thinner and is wood. How would I go about making this a sturdy place for him to play on?

Resolved Question: Graphic designer who can't use computer needs job - help!?

Hi, I have an injury of the hands and fingers that is just not going away. I can type this and use the computer a little throughout the day, but not as a job. What kind of job can I get where I don't spend all my time on the computer? I have a design degree and am detail oriented. I don't want to stand around someplace staring at the wall or serving people. Any ideas?

Resolved Question: Should I buy a Macbook Pro (13" or 15")?

Alright. Heading to University next year and will require a laptop, as the Dell desktop is impractical and in need of an update anyway. Having been THOROUGHLY researching laptops the past 2 weeks and slowly have been gravitating closer and closer towards buying a Macbook Pro. Both for it's look and attractive specs (although expensive) I will be studying a joint bachelor Information Technology and Multimedia, and will be using the laptop for a variety of things including programming, graphic design, video editing etc. I currently have my Dell desktop on duel boot with a copy of Ubuntu which i have been tinkering with for a while now. My course outlines that i will be spending a fair chunk of time using and learning to use Unix systems and i would like to be able to run Linux on my Laptop (be it running from the laptops HDD OR a DVD OR an external drive, i don't mind). I will be using the laptop EXTENSIVELY on a daily basis. Surfing the net, playing with animation, programming, gaming etc. Basically,, how well will a Macbook Pro cater to my needs? I know Macs are renowned for their use with multimedia so that is not so much the issue. Will it also be suitable for: - Programming - Gaming (with the recent release of steam for Mac?) - Running dual operating systems (possible duel boot OS X and 7 with Linux on an external drive?) Also, will i be better off with a 15" or a 13". Toss up between the portability or screen space really. Apologies for the wall of text =D, Cheers.

Resolved Question: Anyone know what this dream means?

Last night I dreamed I was in a long, dark hallway with a glimmering door at the end. For some reason, I knew what was beyond that door and I didn't want to go toward it, but I was drifting toward it anyways. So I whipped out a knife and started dragging it along the wall to stop myself from going forward, but the deeper the knife went, the more I bled. (Just bled all over, in general) I finally reached the door, and got really pissed and cussed at my feet. I stabbed it with my knife and I exploded into bloody bits and woke up. This dream was pretty graphic, and I'm creeped out. No, I haven't read/watched anything scary recently. Help? Interpretations? Thanks all (:
