Open Question: How awkward......................................?

Well, I've never had this one happen before !!!!! I've had people say that they attached pictures, and then they didn't (they forgot), I've had poor quality pictures sent, but not this.... this is a first. LOL. I inquired to an ad earlier about a TB mare... and they just replied to my email... with some more info and some pictures of ''her''...... One picture is of two guys at what appears to be a party, with a bunch of beers and their shirts off, and giving the camera a thumbs up.... LOL! And the other picture is of them taping some beer bottles together... (looks like they might be making one of those tornado things? I've done that before with a couple of empty forty bottles, but still... how strange...) What should I say???? I mean I don't want to blow it with what could be a good horse, but damn these pictures are awkward! Just say "oh, you sent completely wrong pictures?". But then they will go in their sent box and see what the pictures were, and probably be embarrassed or something. awkwardness....... What should I say?? LOL. I wonder if they figured it out already or not. more

Voting Question: Is this good i found on my mate's laptop and i thought so?

One Büchel, Western Germany 4:12 a.m. The plan was flawless or so he thought, no it was flawless he restated in his head. He drove up to the security checkpoint in a black Mercedes, flashed his I.D. to the officer, and then sped on to the parking lot. After getting out of the car he made his way to the southern most building. He had memorized the layout for hours the nights before. He approached the building marked “Nuclear Storage Block 7” in fading yellow paint. Now that he got a closer look, it was made of concrete and with no windows. He walked to the door and slid his stolen I.D into the door reader. He walked and felt a gust of cold air-conditioning. He checked the hall a head of him, empty. He took the moment to take out his Glock 22 and flipped off the safety. He continued down the hall with florescent lights guiding the way. He came to another set of doors this time no lock so he continued on and walked into a circular room. The walls were gray concrete with orange biohazard signs adding color to the otherwise gray dark room. Just one more door then he would be at the vault he thought to himself. He eyed the last door at the end of the room; there was a sleepy guard next to it. The man’s name was Hendrik Klien and ad worked here for eight months, he had lived alone, and was originally from Hamburg. He also knew that he knew that he worked the 4:00-6:30 shift and he would not missed for at least two hours. Armed with this information he walked to the door. “I.D.” Hendrik said. The man pulled out his I.D. as Hendrik took the I.D. to examine it the man pulled out his Glock pushed it to his head and fired twice in to him. He then let the body fall to the fall and he continued through the door without a single thought of remorse. Down one more hallway and he has arrived. He walked into a hangar housing a single Luftwaffe PA-200 Tornado IDS fighter-bomber. However he was more interested in the vault in the back of the hangar. He went to it and punch a series of 13 digit codes that he had recently acquired. The vault electronics accepted them, and then opened revealing the prize for his efforts. Before him lay the components of a B61 thermo-nuclear bombs stored on the base. The components were already disassembled so it made transportation easy. The man pulled out radiation seal box and put the main component in, and left the rest. The exterior could be rebuild very easily all he needed was the core. He had studied for weeks to learn how handle and care for the core as he removed it form the vault. After it was safely stowed away he closed the vault and then looked back looked towards the PA-200. He had been a fighter pilot in the Serbian conflict and knew and piloted the machine well. He opened the hangar door and stepped into the pilots seat. He readied all the equipment and rolled the vehicle onto the tarmac. Alost immediately he heard on his radio “Raptor 6” what is the reason for you your unauthorized take off?” He said nothing and prepared to take off. The radio squawked again “Raptor 6 please respond.” At that moment his jet was flying down the runway taking off from the ground. 350 feet in the air the radio said “Raptor 6 respond or antiaircraft countermeasures will be deployed. At that moment the jet dropped its only weapon on weapon on board an electromagnetic pulse bomb. The device was design to hamper and destroy all electronic devices in a 20-mile radius. 350 and fifty feet below the anti-air missile that had just been fired exploded in midair, the radar crashed and all base’s electronic equipment was fried and the jet sped off into the early morning sky without a trace. Six hours later German Ministry of Defense Office East Berlin The state security advisor sat hunched over in his black leather chair staring aimlessly at a picture of his child. Klaus was 9 and expecting a birthday next month. He leaned back in his char and suddenly the door to his office burst open. more

Resolved Question: I need your opinion on the latest story I finished~Jasmin Cullen A Midnight Countess. . .(First Thirst,:)?

OMG! ok hi guys I finally finished this section of Jasmin's life with the Cullens HER FIRST THIRST:) I'm excited to let you guys see it,or read it ;)I tried to make it picture able in your head:)OH I want to let you see what she looks like to so here's the link to her video~(just random girls that have her characteristics and stuff,along with a few dragons and pictures of mya but she's easy to picture just an elegant and proper black cat that's over a hundred years old:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2Rnsv0tT1s ok sooo about the story,its abit different because it's never been like this:)but anyway lets just skim through what's happened so far~ Ok SO if you were reading along with each story I've written you already know what happened but if you didn't then you might want to read this.Jasmin is basically an orphan from another world(a world for dragons)but she was different she was cursed from the day she was born(her mother was a wizard and was killed)and when wizards are killed while pregnant their children are proofed away to an enchanted orphanage.Where she had the seed of the dragon put in her and the curse made her hair turn black and curly.But being cursed had it's advantages for her she was given powers/abilities some from being cursed and some from having the dragon seed (not a real seed that's just the term for it, just a figure of speech lol:) So they gave her these abilities-ability to freeze time~(from curse) she doesn't use it that often because she has to wait the length of an hour for time to progress again.Next ability erase minds~(being cursed)she can only use it when the person doesn't desire to know something or doesn't care or never really thought about it,Example~like she accidentally told her secret,and the person doesn't know her or love her then she can erase that mind from knowing she was even there or that she said anything.Example why she couldn't erase mind~If she had to leave the Cullens for some reason and never return: to make their lives easier and peaceful she would want to erase their minds so that they would forget about her,but she wouldn't be able to do that because they love her to much and they desire to have her around and stuff so there you go:)Third ability Examine minds all dragons have this ability(from being a dragon)it's not like Edwards power reading minds,a dragon can peer into the persons inner most thought about anything the dragon want to know,whether its a past memory or something recent,kind of like reading into the soul not what the person is thinking.Jasmin wouldn't be able to know what you were thinking.to use this ability she was to place her hand on the person's fore head.her eyes start to glow (white light) and the area around her hand on the head starts to glow too.Last but not least her water bending another dragon ability.She has this ability from being a water dragon ,dragons vary from lava(fire lava) sun(light lightning electricity) Dark(Poison the spirits~evil) Earth(plants trees flowers) god/goddess(most powerful control and time,space)~most of them are the protectors over the homeland forming the Centurion.(includes Jasmin's adopted dragon father) ice(snow ice sleet hail) water(rain controls the sea/oceans storms water ice snow) water and ice dragons are some what the same but an ice dragon can't do anything with water but they can form ice/frost but if it's melted they can't use it ,it has to be frozen.Water dragons can freeze the water then re-melt it ,soo water and ice dragons work together when they need too. there are also dragons that rely on the creatures like rodents and birds and bugs and things those are called the peace dwelling dragons Oh and dragons of the winds(they can turn winds into tornadoes and stuff with the winds)these are basically the different types of dragons umm Oh ok back to Jasmin,well her gypsie/dragon family had to take care of her and teach her how to use her powers,and try to keep her under their wing,her gypsie father knew there was something special about her so he took extra special care of her.He also knew that there was an evil attachment to her not in her characteristics ,Jasmin was the sweetest thing ever,but in her soul.When she was cursed it was put in her and if she was to become overwhelmed with something or loose control of herself and mind it could be unleashed.So her father helps her with that.But one day in the homeland ,Pirates(evil creatures that resemble demons.they were named pirates as a general term for they invaded the homeland that's what all invaders are called.But these pirates eat dragons) they invaded the land stealing the gypsie children(like Jasmin)and training them and using their power for evil.So Jasmin's father (knowing that if they got Jasmin(having that evil thing in her) they wouldn't ever be stopped.)So her family had no choice but to send her to the human world so that she could be safe;For the pirates couldn't get through to the human world.So arounOMG IT TOTALLY CUT OFF ON ME OMG I HAVE TO TYPE THIS ALL OVER???!!!!! OMG THIS IS RIDICULOUS OMG WELL HOLD ON WHILE I TRY TO REMEMBER WHAT ELSE I WROTE!!! UGH!!!!OMG well OMG LOL I STILL CAN'T BELIVE IT DID THAT TO ME LOL but here it is~ The pirates couldn't get through to the humand world so around age seven Jasmin was sent to the human world in america in the state of Wyoming/Cheyenne where she was once again an orphan.a few months later in the orphanage she was adopted by the Evans family,in this family Jasmin had a mother>Sherl a father>George two brothers>Kyle,Peter ,an older sister>Nicole a baby sister>Mary a granpa>George and grandma>Patty Jasmin never really loved her human family that much,but she did cling to her mother,and grandpa more than any of them.The rest of her family didn't really think much of her they didn't really consider her apart of the family eapecially the children.The mother would always get upset with them when they would treat Jasmin the way they did but Jasmin would always tell her that she didn't care.Jasmin's grandpa was one of her closest family members he would rather be with her than the rest of theOk Omg I'm no where near finished lol but here it is~ Jasmin was with her human family for a total of three years until her life changed from others it would be considered a turn for the worst but to her it was always an escape from this human life that she couldn't stand.The day her grandfater past away it was a tragedy,but Jasmin wouldn't dare show it.She was riding in the car with her mother and grandmother.They were riding back home from the funeral because the grandma had a doctors appointment that she couldn't miss.The rest of the family went out to eat but Jasmin didn't want to go. Suddenly out of no where a deer ran out in front of the car and just stood there gazing at the lights.Jasmin's mother tried to swirve out of the way of it but she hit it anyway and crashed into the tree.They were all suverely injured. Jasmin tried not to think about the curse while all of this was happening for she new that she was going to die she just knew it,until a mysterious man cameJasmin recognized his characteristics from something but it didn't quite hit her right away till she felt how cold his skin wasthen she remembered learning about creatures such as vampires from gypsie/dragon school.Not knowing that this vampire was kind and friendly she was certain that he was going to kill her.But then she asked a question a question to test his reaction to see if he was stuck on eating/killing her.She asked him to change her into a vampire. He was slow to react(from being confused)but Jasmin wasn't certain she was frightened.But he did change her into a vampire and he took her back to his family(Carlisle and Esme)But Jasmin was very different from any other vampire she was half human because of the dragon's seed and the curse.For One She couldn't be totally vampire becuase she's a dragon and it couldn't penetrate through that.Second she couldn't be a total vampire because of the curse being a vampire guarantees living foreverBut Jasmin isn't suppose to live forever so that curse and the venom are trying to fight against each other.But Jasmin was turned into a vampire not a complete vampire but a vampire.Since Edward Cullen was the one who transformed her basically he was her father now,Apart of him was in her so she belonged to him.Esme really clinged to her as well making Esme Jasmin's mother.At first Edward was distant from Jasmin.But Jasmin eventually figured out the reason.Edward felt sorry for Jasmin because of everything that was going on with her.Plus the fact that it was his fault she almost died made him angry with himself.He was out hunting chasing a deer.He was playing with it teasing it and it got out of his reach and when he found it again it was dead then he saw that the whole thing caused a car accident.Jasmin's car accident, When he told Jasmin she reasured him that she was glad to be a vampire it gave her a smidge bit of hope from the curse. But Edward wouldn't ever forgive himself.Eventually Jasmin met the rest of the Cullens(Jasper,Alice,Emmett,Rosealie) Jasmin was managing very well with being a part vampire and all.Even though Jasmin was vampire she never had that immediate thirst that all vampires had.It took almost a month for her to be thirsty.Carlisle was very intrigued with Jasmin he assumed that she could still grow and eat and act just like any regular human and she could. But when she would get thirsty since she was human it would affect her that way.Example her voice becomes hoarce if she doesn't go hunting or if she avoids it.It sounds as if she was wheezing.It's not very good on Jasmin's part . OK soooo that's what happened so far I still can't believe that I had to retype that over OMg but it's ok at least you guys get to see it.Umm well I'm going to have to put up another question for First thirst but I wanted to skim through what happened so far.I hope you guys liked it Jasmin Cullen~A Midnight Countess By Victoria S.her description:)Author Note~OH and sorry if I burst some bubbles but she is connected to twilight I'm sorry but it was just so fascinating to have her apart of it I weaved her into twilight :) lol pathetic right but I did she fits in perfectly because I've created a reason for why she wasn't there sometimes when Edward met Bella and why Bella wasn't able to interact with Jasmin and everything.But the weird thing is how much she fits in like I looked at the twilight movie and alot of scenes just screamed Jasmin.Like she was meant to be in it ,but if for some reason I get stuck then I guess I'll have to seperate her from the rest of the twilight thing. But I do get what you guys are saying sooo I'll take that into consideration:) I'm going to post the link to her First Thirst through this if you guys want to read it:). . .Once I go type it up. . .Sigh lol but thanks again:)~Victoria S. more

Voting Question: help me interpret this dream, plsss.... t.t?

The setting of the dream was in the house. The first one was in the garden, I was sort of taking care of my rabbits and in a sudden, there was a white large duck spiraled ahead, three times it swoops down and so did I noticed that there were these things at the duck's back, three white pigeons.. I know that dream was full of symbolism and I had no idea till now. second dream shifts, yet still the setting was on the house only it was on the kitchen door... and this was the horrible part! O.o it really scares me until now.. there was this girl on the screen door, our door at the kitchen is two, the screen door and the real door.. so, there she was trying to go inside.. but there is something wrong about her. She was exorsist! And trying to delved inside the house and all I do was to covered the door and stopped her from entering! And then, I shouted for my sister, give me the bible! And the weird thing about it, I started to say the prayer we prayed when I was 4th yr highschool... and now, I forgot the prayer. So, as I started saying the prayer inside my head she said it also with me.. Damn! it scares me! So, then finally my sister gave the bible to me and pushed the bible to her face... then, suddenly, winds crushed her down as if there was a tornado outside and yet she managed to clutched against the frame door... And i dont remmber the next thing that happens.. and then, suddenly I let her in, she was now calm and no more exorcist delved in... I lay her down to the kitchen floor and there I told her something, "This is you." I kept on saying, and I dont have any idea why I had a picture in my hand. Weird, isn't it? So, until suddenly my dream shifts again...I was in a strange place, an outing and so many strange people around, I dont even know them.. and then, I bought a bread but then my money was not enough, but the lady in the counter just let me pass.. and i thought then, she was very kind.. and she just smiled back... I came back in my seat, some kind of a field trip on a bus.. then, i ate some.. then, all of them I inquired them to take some of my bread... All of them took some, but some part of me saying, "how about yourself? They all eat them!" but the other part of me, I was glad and happy to share the bread with them... I don't know what was this dream trying to say.. perhpas its only trying to say I should be happy of what I have and share it with others?? hmm....because sometimes I don't care for the others, I am so mean.. t.t And lastly, my dream became unwired... I got on a strange place.. it was so chaotic and all in confusion, there was blood, killing and battle... but all i could remmember was... we are on the top of a tree, a huge tree and all the people with me were not humans, I swear! They're elves, like in JRR Tolkein... Tall, white skin and blondie hair and long, they have archers and suit in armor. But they're no paying attentions at me, they continued on what was their doing.. shooting arrows to the other side of the tree, an enemy, perhaps? Then, suddenly, the tree were we in shifted and bowed.. the tendecy of it, we should grasped hard against the branches, and all the elves on the tree showered thousand of arrows to the enemy! Then, after that they started yelling and shouting in rejoice, maybe the battle is over... Then, at the hill or land, I donno.. They started to dance all over.. Smiles on their faces and some just stand at the corner while the other dance at the circle... I smiled to, and then noticed something... why there is a negro? I mean-- all i know about elves they are all white and fair... then, someone whispered on my ears, that elves prefer to be like that, glamour! And I woke up, jolted and the first thing come up with me was "where is my phone?" It was 15:45. The day is already over and it upsets me... no one wake me! more

Voting Question: which religion books?

as for any holy books It does not possess any mystical power of course, any more than a daily newspaper. The content, however, is interesting in what it claims. It was once held as containing the absolute truth, but even this is being challenged.We no longer believe that the world was created in a few days. Modern mosque/church leaders are also saying that Mary, mother of Jesus, was not really a virgin, and so on. Back in the past people did genuinely believe the /Quran/bible was 'gospel' and beyond question, but times, fortunately, have changed. The book is being 'updated' so that it will again be acceptable to today's society. But is it really meaningful, can it be held up as 'proof' that God exists? No, of course not, we all know that, I may as well hold up a copy of 'UFO News" as 'proof' of the existence of flying saucers. In all discussions on religion, I know that at some point someone will start to quote at me from the bible/qu,ran to back-up their argument. I really wish they wouldn't bother, its meaningless to do so, because it requires that the bible/quran be accepted as hard evidence, and as we have seen it quite simply isn't so. The holy books can be interpreted any way you want, so why bother? And precisely how accurate are the stories in it anyway? So, to answer the question, are all religions false? that's for you to decide. But what do I believe? Read on if you like, as if you didn't already know. What do I think? It is very difficult, if not impossible, to be completly objective about religion because we have all been raised to believe in one religion or another. How do you examine the subject without some of your own bias creeping in? I, for instance, was raised to believe in the muslim faith, simply because that happens to be the majority religion in the country, that by pure chance, I was born in. I didn't choose islam, I was less than a year old at the time I became a signed-up member of the school. I certainly do not believe in it now. I do not believe that God is a kindly looking, bearded, white gentleman sitting on his throne in heaven surrounded by angels, and yes, that is the picture we were taught to believe as young, impressionable children at school, along with a whole load of other stuff just as daft. As an adult, all this was revised and we were told it was just symbolic, but as an adult I was also told that only true muslim will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. So to all you believers of other religions, sorry, you won't be going to heaven, our local vicar told me. Clearly,islam is just as ridiculous as Mormonism. I saw a typical poster outside a mosque recently depicting an idyllic country scene, complete with pretty waterfall, a little mist, pretty flowers, lambs and song birds, bearing the slogan "God is love". Why is it that those who believe that God is responsible for the way the world is, only show the good things. Would it not be just as correct to show say a picture of thousands of corpses as a result of a severe drought - and include the slogan 'God is love'? The church only promotes the one (good) side of God's supposed work. It is therefore, nothing more than a brainwashing propaganda exercise. The mosque must think us daft, and in order to believe their cozy, rosy picture of the world with good old father God taking care of things, we would have to be. If 'God' can be praised for any good event that happens in the world, then this is claiming that God is responsible for the way the world is. That being the case God must also be responsible for the bad things as well, so why not attribute them to Him/her? If the bad things are not due to God, who says so? God? To blame mankind for these 'bad' events can not be right. Is it our fault that we have droughts, storms, floods, volcanic eruptions, heat waves, ice ages, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, disease, etc.etc.? I find the way that the church "cherry pick" 'God's work ' to be extremely annoying. If its good, its the work of God, if its bad its just one of those things. Why not just accept the fact that events are the result of chance, cause and effect, and random factors? If you do believe God is responsible for the way the world is then as well as praising Him for the good things you would also have to blame Him for the headline events listed on the following poster. All religion is nothing more than an attempt to control a population by enforcing 'laws' that come from a higher authority that is beyond challenge, It is used as an extremely powerful tool to keep people 'in line'. It is particularly useful in circumstances where the population are under duress, be it poverty, starvation, tyranny. whatever, because then the powers that rule will assure you that you must accept your lot, lead a good life, don't rock the boat and cause any trouble, and you will be rewarded in the next life. Oh,how old one must be in your eyes/mind to be expect as any expert? 500- ? more

Resolved Question: Are there just 35 inconvenient truths in Al Gores famous climate movie or do you know any more?

As many as 35 serious scientific errors or exaggerations, all pointing towards invention of a threat that does not exist at all, or exaggerations of phenomena that do exist, do not reflect credit on the presenter of the movie or on those who advised him. The movie is unsuitable for showing to children, and provides no basis for taking policy decisions.

Voting Question: Show name for Unique horse (let the Creative Juices flow)?

Ok. So a little information about us. I bought Zeke soon to be 4 yrs ago when he was 6. Zeke is 16.2 hands sorrel breeding stock gelding. He is now 10, soon to be 11. He has white hairs throughout his coat (just not enough to be 'roan'). He has white on his legs too but you can just see the pictures for a better idea. http://s282.photobucket.com/albums/kk277/gidupxc23/Zeke/ Now for his story. I bought him in spring of '05 and did some showing. In October of '05 he went lame on his left hind. He was put on some stall rest (per vet) and before the vet came, I took him for a hand walk (per vet) and he went crazy, loud pop and the next day when she came he was a 4 out of a 5 on the lameness scale. She thought he had fractured his pelvis. So from October '05 to March '06 he was on stall rest. Finally around March 10 he was allowed short small turnout. I would take him to the neighbors small indoor and turn him out for 10-20 mins at a time... I think I did this twice. March 12 came and we had a tornado. It actually came about on our friends (where we kept my horses) property and picked the barn up and tossed it into the tree line. This barn was amazing, all wood and super strong (built by the amish I believe. People have offered tons of money for this barn). And yes, Zeke was in the barn. He was picked up with it, as there was no way he could of gotten to where he was on his own. He was in the middle of a tree line on top of some of the barn and other pieces surround him. Some way or another a tightly rolled up section of red-wire fencing, though still tightley rolled up was up his back legs. We had to cut it off of him. There was another tornado warning out and we had guys pushing and pulling to get him to move he was in so much shock. He had, obviously, cuts up his legs, on his belly, above his eye, etc. Finally we got him moving to my other neighbors (the one with the indoor) Quickly bandaged him and waited for the vet to come the next day. He had puncture wounds, but the vet couldnt feel any fractures, etc. and found no reason to xray due to soo much swelling. He seriously looked like the Michellin man. To encourage some movement to get swelling down we let him in the indoor (mind you it was small, 60 ft in diameter). He would hardly move... only to get to the water, then walk to the door to soak some sun. He was doing great to the point he was running and bucking and playing. No more swelling until April, he was going downhill. Vet came out, stuck a needle in the leg that had swelled back up and pus flew out. Took xrays and he had three bone fragments... one of which was attached to a ligament in his right stifle. Took him for surgery on April 25... with the outcome of maybe being pasture sound. In july of '06 I took him to the State fair for a halter class only ( at this point he was allowed turnout again and walk/trot work) He placed 4 of 20 or so. At the UofI in Champaign during a check up he was cleared for all work. He does have a grade one lameness on his left hind at the slow jog. But thats all he came out of all this with, I was estatic! In October '06 we went to Youth Charity Horse show and did some classes (cant remember placings) and just had some fun. We didn't do any canter work till the day of the first class. In summer '07 I took him to a friends and tried a cross rail for fun. We haven't shown since Oct. '07 at the YCHS. We haven't jumped at any shows either. Since then I have taken him over some jumps up the 3 ft just for fun. Come summer '10, I want to do what I bought him for, eventing. I am going to start him back with some H/J shows first and get us going again before we do an event. Since its been so long since we've shown together, I was thinking of a new show name. In the past I just used his registered name, but I want something that really suites him. His registered name is Zippos Party Zeke. Hes out of Zippos San Bar and Party Time. Hes great, Hes more of a womans horse, he doesn't like 'real' horse men. (we think he might of been hit on a little by a man). But he does great with non horse people (men included) I can put anyone on him and he just knows what to do. He hasnt ever tested beginners. The more experience you have, he knows, and will see if you can 'handle' him. Ive given lessons on him and had students jumping him. He goes over anything (jumping wise). He trail rides great (his favorite). Hes goofy too and always seems to stick his tongue out in trail riding pictures. (Additional info: my other horses where in the pasture so they jumped the fence and took off when the tornado hit. They came home the next day unharmed besides one bruised foot. My friends property had 5 outbuildings, none survived. The house was ok, but unliveable. Please do not critique my riding in these photos, I am only asking for a name from his looks, personality, past, etc. Thanks. So more

Resolved Question: please rate my story!?

“Oh, Hannah, don’t worry. Mermaids are only in fairytales! They aren’t real!” Shelby McDowell soothed her 4-year-old sister Hannah. “Yeah Hannah,” Brendan said matter-of-factly. Shelby looked over at him, with his green eyes wide and serious. She couldn’t help laughing at how old he looked and tried to act when he was really only 4, the same age as Hannah. In fact, Brendan and Hannah were twins. The family had just finished watching a television show about a mermaid who crashed a ship at sea and killed all the people in it. Now Hannah was scared out of her wits about going to the beach the next day with her family. “It’s okay, honey. I promise!” Shelby reassured her. She turned out the lights and walked out of her sister’s purple princess room, with Brendan right on her heels. She sighed and walked down the hallway to her brother’s green room, muttering under her breath, “Not real. Not real. Not real.” Shelby had been scared by the program on television too. Not that she would ever admit it. She kissed Brendan goodnight and flicked out his lights. Shelby walked into her own turquoise room, decorated with ocean things. Shelby had been obsessed with the ocean ever since she visited it for the first time years ago. She looked forward to every summer when her family spent 2 weeks in their beach house. Shelby loved running through the white sand and darting through the rolling waves searching for marine mammals or plants. She could snorkel for hours and would never tire as long as she was at the place she loved. Now, as Shelby looked at pictures of her family on the wide-open beach, all anxiety was replaced by excitement. She flicked off the lights in her own room, laid her head on her blue pillow, and drifted off to dreams of dolphins, sand, and waves. The next morning was a whirlwind of activities. There were the shovels, pails, and all the other toys to pack. Also, food and suitcases. As soon as the McDowell’s were ready to go, the twins wailed and screamed that they had left their beloved stuffed animals, Sukie the bear and Poncho the grasshopper on their beds. Mr. and Mrs. McDowell sighed and unbuckled the twins. When Sukie and Poncho had been safely put in place between Brendan and Hannah’s car seats, the car was rolling. Shelby sat in the very back seat, away from all the noise, listening to her iPod and thumbing through an old Seventeen magazine. The drive to the beach took 3 long, agonizing hours of listening to the twins complain of having to go to the bathroom, being hungry, being bored, and everything else they could think of, but Shelby knew it was worth it when they turned the last corner and the beach was in view. The twins were suddenly quiet and gasped in surprise. Shelby turned off her iPod, put away her magazine and put her forehead to the cool glass window. She looked and looked at the beach, sucking in every detail. The waves lolled quietly back and forth. The sand blew in the wind, forming miniature tornadoes. Seagulls darted in and out of the water, hunting for lunch. When the McDowell’s pulled up to their little yellow beach house shortly later, Shelby hopped out of the car, took the key from her father and stepped inside the house. She was always the first one to go into the house. It was a kind of tradition for the McDowell’s. Shelby stood in the warm entryway and looked around her. The hallway was smothered in pictures of the McDowell family. Frames of all shapes and colors and sizes hung on the walls, holding memories of the fun moments at the beach. Shelby walked up the hallway and to the right. There was the kitchen, the same as they had left it: the stainless steel sink cleaned thoroughly, the refrigerator ready to be turned back on, the microwave anxious to be warmed up again. Shelby sighed and kept walking forward. She was now in the living room. The couches and beanbags looked so comforting and ready to be sat upon. The plasma screen television shiny as ever; its remote sitting pleasantly on top of it. She continued until she found the 2 bedrooms. One was painted an orangish color, which was where the twins would sleep. The other room was no other color but turquoise. Shelby didn’t know if she would ever stop loving the color turquoise. For as long as she could remember, she had loved the color. On the other side of the house was another bedroom, which was her parents, and 2 bathrooms. At the very back of the place was a deck and boardwalk leading to the beach. Shelby crept slowly to the back door and burst out onto the deck, leaving the door wide open behind her. She breathed in the salty air and felt the mist along her neck. She couldn’t believe she was actually here again. Mr. McDowell shouted from the front door, “Shelby, you ready for us to come in? We need to get some things unloaded and get settled.” Shelby breathed in one last lungful of saltiness and then shouted back, “Um, yah Dad, come on! I’ll be right there to help!” more

Resolved Question: Is there something wrong with me?

When I was around being a baby to 2 years old, I was energetic, outgoing, and photogenic. When I got older I hated taking pictures. You wouldn't even be able to pick me up if you had a camera. My Nana said as I got older I began to get weird, which sadly i agree with her. Looking at past pictures of me from 1st grade, I looked awkward. I was molested as a child by my aunt's boyfriend when I was little so maybe that was part of the reason for it, it's not like I'm socially awkward I'm popular at school, I procrastinate though. I'm very disorganized, and my room can sometimes look like a tornado. Every since I could walk, and talk (8 months) people had told me and my Nana I act older than I really am. Although now, I can hardly describe the things I want to tell my Nana. Now I am very , very negative. From this information, Is there anything wrong with me? more

Voting Question: Why do some misname adaptation and pass it off as evolution/ natural selection?Is there disproof of creation?

Even our origin of all species shows of a designer who was very creative. It has never been shown that a coding system and semantic information could originate by itself in a material medium. Information is a mental, non-material concept! It can never arise from a natural process and is always the result of an intelligence. Just as a newspaper story transcends the ink on the paper, life’s DNA itself (like the ink) is not the information, it is simply a physical representation or housing of the information (the story). Modifying the DNA via mutation can never produce new genetic information to drive upward evolution, just as spilling coffee on the newspaper, thereby modifying the distribution of the ink, will never improve the story. Numerous efforts to bring life from non-life (including the famous Miller-Urey experiment) have not succeeded. The probability of life forming from non-life has been likened to the probability of a tornado going through a junkyard and spontaneously assembling a working 747 airplane. The idea that life on earth may have been seeded from outer space just moves the problem elsewhere. The idea that “nothing works until everything works.” The classic example is a mousetrap, which is irreducibly complex in that if one of its several pieces is missing or not in the right place, it will not function as a mousetrap and no mice will be caught. The systems, features, and processes of life are irreducibly complex. What good is a circulatory system without a heart? An eye without a brain to interpret the signals? What good is a half-formed wing? Doesn’t matching male and female reproductive machinery need to exist at the same time, fully-functioning if any reproduction is to take place? CHANGE AT THE SPECIES LEVEL IS UNIMPORTANT in the big picture, as NO INCREASE IN COMPLEXITY (no upward evolution) is taking place. Natural selection has no foresight, and works to eliminate anything not providing an immediate benefit.' The oldest fossils for any creature are already fully-formed and don’t change much over time (“stasis”). The “Cambrian Explosion” in the “primordial strata” documents the geologically rapid appearance of most major groups of complex animals. There is no evidence of evolution from simpler forms. Birds are said to have evolved from reptiles but no fossil has ever been found having a “half-scale/half-wing”. A reptile breathes using an “in and out” lung (like humans have), but a bird has a “flow-through” lung suitable for moving through the air. Can you even imagine how such a transition of the lung could have taken place? Abrupt appearance and stasis are consistent with the biblical concept of creation “according to its kind”, and a world-wide flood that scoured the earth down to its basement rocks, depositing the “geologic column” and giving the appearance of a “Cambrian Explosion”. Smarter, more mobile creatures would escape the flood waters longer, becoming buried in higher-lhigher-level strata, leading to a burial order progressing from “simpler” forms to more complex/higher-level forms, which people now wrongly interpret as an evolutionary progression.. Wrong web site all! And if you would study you might learn something instead of being stuck in your rut! http://www.bio.cam.ac.uk/Sparky are we amoebas or humans reproductively?Ahhh! your facts are proved because of your theory....hmmmmmm.......Charcinders...... You and I both know that living cells are filled with complex structures whose detailed evolutionary origins are not known. Natural selection can only choose among systems that are already working,any precursor to an irreducibly complex system that is missing a part is by definition nonfunctional? I am not asking that it be proven that’s how it happened ......... only that can it be demonstrated to happen that way. Charles Darwin himself in ,The Origin of Species, anticipated this argument against his theory and acknowledged it would spell doom for his theory: " If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down. But I can find out no such case."' Charcinders...... On Page 8 of a Report from the National Research Council there is an interesting admission: “Natural selection based solely on mutation is probably not an adequate mechanism for evolving complexity.” Of course the report itself supports the concept of Darwinian evolution. But the admission that mutation is an insufficient mechanism is pretty darn significant! They invoke lateral transfer of genes as the alternate explanation: “More important, lateral gene transfer and endosymbiosis are probably the most obvious mechanisms for creating complex genomes…” This opens another can of worms so to speak........... where did the genes come from that are being laterally transferred? .I hope that answered your questions Charcinder? more

Resolved Question: what do you think about this?

i have dreams quite frequently about my parents flat out not caring. some examples have been during a tornado i say i can't get to the basement, and they say it isn't a big deal. or i'll do something extraordinary, win something, get a good grade, what ever, and they just don't care. do you think like this translates to how i feel in "real life"? i feel really under appreciated in general. not only by my parents. i feel like if i ever did just get up and leave, the only reason people would miss me or realize i was gone is because all the shit i do for them suddenly doesn't get done. i feel like people have high expectations for me, so when things go well, no one really cares, its expected. then when something does go wrong for once, its a huge deal. i feel like the only times i'm recognized is when some thing's gone wrong. again, this applies to life in general, not just my parents. i feel like the world just goes on around me sometimes though. like people don't even make an effort with me. i have to initiate things. people can talk to each other, but i'm hardly in the picture. i don't want this to sound like a pity story or rant, i'm just trying to get stuff out there to see if it applies. so basically my question is, are these reoccurring dreams simply a reflexion of how i feel in real life, that people just don't care, or do you think this could mean something different? i get them at least once a week, sometimes more. thanks ahead of time more

Voting Question: Help finding a Book on Modern Fighter Planes?

I am looking for a book on Modern Fighter Planes but I only have a description of the cover to go by and not much else. I had gone to a Book sale at the Library last month and picked out a book then decided not to buy it and now I am trying to find it on Amazon but to no avail. I have search over 1,000 book titles but haven't found it yet. Maybe someone here can help. Here is the description on the cover of the book. What I can remember is that the word FIGHTERS is in all caps and in Bold white lettering. I don't know what might have been above the Fighters title. The picture on the cover is of either a Sepcat Jaguar or a Panavia Tornado semi head on view going vertical. Copyright would be in the late 1970's around 1977-1978. Book would be 14 Inches high and 12 inches wide. This is the best I can give from what I remember. What I am looking for is the Full Title and ISBN so that I can do a more precise search for this book on either Amazon, Barnes and Noble or Borders. If you have a picture that would be helpful also.

Voting Question: Does not like my college roommate-can we get switched based on this?

Okay I'm a college freshmen. Iam dorming an hour away from home in a big and great state school. When I spoke to my roommate over the summer she seemed really nice. She said she liked football and clothes and cheerleading and went to bed around 11...etc. When move in day came, I walked in and she already had the whole room (well her half) covered in pink Disney princess stuff. I'm talking rug, blanket, lunchbox, pictures, towels, notebooks, pencils.... At first I was fine with it because she seemed nice. From there we had a week or 2 to change roommates without questions from the school. It seems like right after those 2 weeks she became more and more annoying. She boyfriend sleeps over every single tuesday night (when b4 she gave the impression that he would not be there that often) and I wake up in the middle of the night because they r having sex right next to me!!...no wall or curtian or anything. If that isn't bad enough, when she goes partying she comes home drunk talking loud and annoying. And half the time she brings home a guy and cheats. When that's not going on she will have one of her airhead friends over--where they blast music and th tv and talk about disney princesses and buildabears. When she is alone with only me there she is beyond rude. I will be sleeping, and she will walk in at 1am, see me sleeping but turn on the light and tv waking me up. Even when she sees that it wakes me up she doesn't say sorry or care. She uses my water pitcher N doesn't refill it. Iam neat and she makes the room look like a tornado hits it. I have the most problem with the lack of sleep I'm getting because she has sex with me there and turns on the tv. Also my friend visited the other week. And she literally took a few dollars from my roommates drawer while I was out. I didn't know about it so when she came back she acted as if "u know what's wrong" but I didn't. Eventually my roommae told me she was missing money, so I got to the bottom of it and yeah my friend took it. I told my roommate I'm so sorry and everything and I will pay her back. But since then she has just been acting more rude. Blasting the tv as loud as it can go while I'm sleeping and playing music and on the phone. I just found out that I need to go to residence life today. Idk what about yet but it's prob the money thing. My roommate refused to take my money when I apologized but she is just acting like a spoiled brat. And believe me I understand y she is mad. Do you think I can get my roommates switched now? I have residence life meetng today. They will either ask me what's going on, tell me to give her the money-which I already offered, or give me a slap on the wrist. How can I explain to them how much I hate her?-I was actually going to go to residence life abt hoe much I hate her b4 this. Can they just tell me to get along with her? more

Voting Question: Dreams about abandoned houses and tornadoes?

So I remember my dreams, really often actually. About every night I do, and on most nights, they either involve abandoned houses/buildings, or tornadoes/storms happening. It's been going on like this for about 7 or 8 years, and I always dream about the same kind of things, either me walking into these houses and exploring them/taking pictures, or running from these tornadoes and storms. They're never really nightmares, more like daunting dreams. What does this mean?

Resolved Question: I can't figure this out, please help me.?

Ever since I was a little kid weird things have been happening to me, as if all hell wants to capture me, no this is not a joke, this is a serious question that I've never told anyone but my parents. Ever since I was a kid I was able to sense, see, and sometimes hear spirits, phenomenons, whatever you may call it. Sometimes it would call out to me at night mimicking a friend's or one of my family member's voices. One time back when I was very little one called out to me "Come down stairs" it would say, and when I go, all I see is pitch black and run back up stairs terrified because I've just realized the person's voice it was mimicking was gone for the night. Later in my life we moved from that house because my whole family was being haunted by this demon, now I live in Florida, and I still am having the same problem, but it's not calling out anymore although it seems like a demon. I've seen many spirits before, but I can't tell where they're going, or why they're here, all I know is a few want me alone. In the hallways at school when I'm alone they show, when I'm alone in my room they show, when I'm having a nightmare and I'm alone they would show the most. Just today I fell asleep in my room, when I was starting to wake up I started to hear a strange noise that sounded exactly like blazing winds (Like a tornado), my senses were increasing as it got closer, my image in my head was just terrifying, it was a perfect picture of my room as if I was still awake, I saw the spirit come through the door (literally), and come towards me (It was a large baby shaped figure with a WHITE AURA), it was so terrifying when it came towards me and the wind sound got louder, and the feeling of FEAR got higher (This has happened before on my last encounter with a spirit such as this with a WHITE AURA but it was a skull shaped figure trying to pick me up and take me away; I was parallelized, so I said a prayer in my head since I couldn't open my mouth or call anyone, and it went away quickly.) the feeling was unbearable, and so it touched my hand, once it did I saw it's face and I opened my eyes, but the feeling of the spirit was still there for a brief moment, then it gradually went away. All this happening just a few hours ago I knew I had to ask someone for help. Please can anyone tell me why this is happening to me? FURTHER INFO : I also have the ability to see into the future, although I've only done it twice through meditation, it's happened literally over 70,000 times in my dreams, but if I don't write it down right away when I wake up, I would forget in a matter of minutes. As I got the name for my account and e-mail (AllSeeing) xD I think it's funny Anyways, I don't think people are right about "White Aura's" being a pure spirit, in my case it looks evil! (I mean what I found on google.com people) Although I'm not sure if I'm saying it correctly "White Aura" it's not really their aura I'm seeing, but I don't know what else to call it, their whole body is covered in white, like a ghost you see in movies (I don't watch scary movies, and haven't seen anything to trigger an illusion), but the funny thing is I've seen WHITE AURA's on a person before, when they were trying to scare me in the dark, I saw their aura glowing, it was bright white, does that mean that person is evil too? Or are these spirits of no-harm to me or anyone and white aura's are pure? Name : Steven Age : 14 Sex : MaleFurther more this is not in my head, I've got to everyone, doctors, psychologists, everyone, everyone say there's nothing wrong with me, I've had an MRI on my brain as well, nothing is wrong with me, this is all true.WARNING : DO NOT ANSWER THIS QUESTION IF YOU'RE GOING TO SAY THINGS LIKE "It's all in your head" or "You're probably schizophrenic." or "You have a great imagination" this is not funny, you think it is? Then DON'T ANSWER, it really makes me angry when people do that, say "It's all in your head"Oh and I don't wanna hear all that "Believe in God" crap, I do believe in God I said that I prayed when it happened, seriously, read......It's not like it's a bad thing to say, it's just that I don't want an answer about "Opening up to the Lord", even if I do, that won't change anything, as long as there is good in this world there is going to be evil, and no-matter what I will still have this gift given from the Lord, I guess... I can't change that, all I want to know is what I'm seeing. more

Resolved Question: How doe's one submit a real supernatural story for a change, with the video data to a tabloid?

I would prefer only those who work for one of those secular tabloids or an acting CEO of one, answer this question. However, I do acknowledge that this is a open forum and rightly so too. Therefore, although I'd appreciate only those who work for a tabloid to answer this, there can be no restrictions on a public forum. Tried many times to send this 100% true supernatural story accompanied by what could be, "hundreds of these 20-year-old real-time VHS video images." Note: One I'm now using for my own Yahoo Avatar? Yes, out of a ridiculous 7.4 billion and growing. I possess the most spectacular tornado encounter story complete with hundreds of full-color pictures that any tabloid (in its right mind) would make any offer too publish. an event that occurred on Palm Sunday in 1963 and repeat itself in 1989 and I can't get through the front door with any of those tabloids. Telephoned the Sun publication in London England many times with no luck getting through to the paranormal editor in charge. these idiots have never returned my calls or just one acknowledgment to my many e-mails. Can you believe it? 1 1/2 years with absolutely no success whatsoever. We'll, either I'm the greatest loser this spinning piece of solar driftwood has ever seen, or everything connected with these tabloids is 100% false. Most puzzling Do they only deal with, fraudulent big-money making stories of a manufactured supernatural nature? Like that virgin Mary on toast jazz? Is it possible that they just can't handle the real thing? frightened by the unknown? Are those highly fraudulent psychics and Hollywood celebrities far more important, than some real concrete publishable evidence proving without a doubting Thomas question (minus the Bible) that this God character truly does exists. Too Christians Heaven knows I didn't ask to be the soul! Keeper of this supernatural data. take no offense here but, it does say that the truth shall set you free. Therefore, without question is obvious that somebody, someone or something who is supposed to be perfect in all things, made a big major mistake somewhere, by allowing me too videotape these highly controversial taboo sky born images. So much for that universal perfection you people constantly boast about. Now according to the word that is so infallible, this data I now possess should not exist! Unfortunately, it does.... more

WELCOME BACK! Since i had positive feedback on my last survay (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnCl6a.jFFaf9TD_YGmS1Szsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090908162830AAl89qT), im gonna make another one.

Make sure it's from the same anime. >> You wake up in a beach. What's the first thing you say? >> You realize the person you hate is there, what do you do(don't kill them, it won't work w/the rest of the story)? >> You need to survive untill you can find a way back. what do you do?

What anime is that? >> The Villages Start attacking. do you fight, run away, other? >> You reach an abandon house. you realize you chould try to survive here (too bad you built something back on the beach, if you did). It has food and some necesities. Your 2 other anime characters are helping you get situated. You suddently see a strange village person staring at you.... to be continued...

Resolved Question: I had these dreams 2 nights in a row of natural disasters that came true?

These dreams happend some months ago but im just curious to ask now what does it mean. The dreams seemed to happen the day or night of the disaster. I'm just not sure how to explain it so ill just write down what i wrote the following moarning. May 27th- I dreamed of 2 people me as one being in a tornado almost sucked out of the front living room window. The window was a large open rectanger shaped. Same day- Tornado in the phillipeans kills 2 people. May 28th- Dreamed of being in a land slide while camping. My campsite in my dream was above a crowed of people then formed into a house and was flipped over. On that day North Carolina Landslide blocks roads due to heavy rain no one was killed or injured. However in Darjeeling another landslide kills 20 people. in the past i have had more than intence feelings of deju vu that when experienced bring this wave of awkward familiararity that can last up to a minute. My most memorable was walking into a persons garage that i had never been in seeing paint cans on shelfs catagorized in the exact colors i imagined them with a table and chairs stacked on the right side of the room down to the paint falling off the walls and liquid spilled all over the floor. I know its a garage what do you expect but everything i imagined was seen in exact detail down to the way i pictured it. I've often had experiences like this my whole life but only recently feel the need to actualy talk about it and I'm wondering if its possable to develop these so called "premonitions" or maybe books to help explain what i and am sure most others go through. more

Okay. A young boy named Sam is taking a hike in the woods to get away from his life, and he finds the dead body of a man who committed suicide. In one of his hands is a camera. Sam takes the camera and looks at it when he is home. There are over 6 billion pictures on it- all of people- including Sam. Sam starts receiving letters that say strange things like "On Friday, 280 will die in a Tornado. You will choose." Sam starts seeing strange apparitions of a dead boy who tells him to destroy the camera. Sam soon realizes that on the camera is a picture of everybody in the world, and when he deletes the photos, the people will die, and that everyone's fate is in his hands. more

Resolved Question: Was my brother switched at birth with a space alien's baby?

I'm beginning to wonder. He's weird. He's weirder than weird. He has no people skills. When I try to explain people skills to him, he stares at me blankly like I speak a different language. He doesn't pay attention to anything normal people do. He doesn't follow sports, he's not even interested in sports. He's fascinated by things no one else in the world cares about, like tornado sirens, power lines, and gas stations. When they test the tornado siren in my town once a month, he's across the street with a video camera. One year, we took a family vacation to Colorado. He brought his camera, and what did he take pictures of? Power lines, gas stations, and a few tornado sirens. There were even some mountains in the background. His iPod contains the worst music known to mankind. He's 22, but he listens to cheesy stuff from the 90s, like Roxette, Warrant, Steel Heart, and Savatage. His jokes make no sense at all, and his sense of humor is inappropriate. We used to think he was gay. The SI swimsuit issue didn't interest him. He wasn't interested in Playboy or Hustler. But he said he wasn't gay and he got mad when we thought he was. Last week I was curious so I looked on his computer when he wasn't around. The good news is that he looks at women. However, they're all fully clothed, and the common thread is that they all wear socks but not shoes. But just when it can't get any stranger, it does. All of the fully clothed women are taking a dip in the tub or the pool, and half the pictures were focused on the socks! Until last week, I thought wet socks were universally hated! He loves what everybody else in the world hates! Can someone plz explain him to me? more
