I remember seeing the trailer when I went to go see Blackfish. It was in a theater that was small and focused more on "independent" / "not mainstream" movies.

I remember being captivated by it and thinking it looked super good but I just... never saw anything from it. I ve searched lists and can t find it.

I think it was set quite some time ago, back when interracial couples were forbidden. There s a white woman by herself (possibly with kids), and a black... yard worker? Handyman? Fugitive? And there s The Look and making out and white guys threatening to kill him (maybe there was a shootout?)

I know this is vague and I m sorry, but appreciate any leads.

I don't watch much TV... but awhile ago, and in the past, I've seen this one commercial with a great song... they even worked the band name into the commercial, like on a marquee or sign, or possibly even just writing on the screen... "Featuring _________" or something along those lines. I always got distracted before writing it down :\

I think the bandname started with a T.

And the commercial *might* have been for a car or a computer/laptop...

I know it's not much to go on, but any possibilities are welcome :) I've been watching TV all day and haven't seen it :\

I have a 2000 Hyundai Elantra, which is supposed to have a 14 gallon tank. However, to fill it up from empty, it takes only 6-7 gallons. And from the second I start filling, it starts clicking and shutting off, as though it's full. So instead of taking 5-10 minutes to fill my tank, it takes half an hour to do only half of it.

I've had it looked at while getting my tires maintained, and there's no dents on the tank. I asked a guy in a part shop, and he said it's cause I have a lot of air in the tank. I asked my dad how I get air out of the gas tank, and he looked at me like I'm retarded and said of course there's air in a gas tank, ESPECIALLY when it's empty. Another guy said it's the checkvalve, which... that might make sense, I guess?

I just don't wanna get raped at the mechanics, and if my dad can do it, it's even better. I just don't wanna buy a checkvalve and have that not be the problem, ya know?

Thanks.

I have an ASUS UL50VT...

I really love it, and it was perfect for the longest time because I'm not a super intensive user (ie graphic design or gaming), but now it's starting to falter under my light use :\

From what I can tell, it could use more RAM, a better processor, a new wireless card (cause after moving my laptop, the internet dies, but after restarting, it's back on :O), and possibly a better graphics card (since it's Windows rating is just 3.4 and I would like to play SOME games and watch movies in 720+).

However, based on the specs (http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Superior_Mobility/UL... it's already built to the best of its capabilities... 4GB ram, dual-core processor, 500 GB HD...my question is, can it be upgraded beyond what's listed, and if so, what exactly would work?

This is another one of my hopeless causes, where I read an article on Yahoo News and have lost it forever.

Earlier in the year, I read an article claiming that Hawking (perhaps some other physicist), actually created and/or destroyed energy.

I've searched his site, google, yahoo, and bing. All I can find is stuff about the First Law as it presently exists and the hoohah about contacting aliens.

Any help is appreciated. And don't anyway give me the same spewl I just heard today in Biology- that's why I'm here asking this!

She is 12, but looks 21 (5'5", size 11 feet, and a 38D cup).

She definitely has the "diva" attitude and, when things don't go her way, she gets very agitated and cranky. On extremes (which are uncommon, not rare), she has these violent outbursts. She's attacked me, my other sister, my mother, and even fought back against my dad.

I think when things get that bad, she genuinely can't control herself, because during punishment, she'll be bawling her eyes out, begging for it to stop, but throughout out, she'll also be calling my parent(s) names (ie, "stop it you retard", "you're touching my butt, you're gay!", etc), and threatening to call the cops, which lets be honest, probably isn't what you should do if you want the spankings to stop. In the latest episode, my parents were to confiscate her phone after catching making out with a boy, and she wouldn't cough it up.

It just doesn't seem..."right"...that she'd behave that way if she wanted to end, or didn't want it to happen in the first place? Had she just given up her phone, she wouldn't have been spanked. But even during, she wanted it to stop, but just wouldn't.

She's now in the crazy house, and the doctors there recommended Prozac.

However, as an anti-depressant, I think she needs something more for controlling these outbursts and her anger.

Any recommendations (preferably natural) is appreciated.

Seriously.

I found it on YouTube once, years ago, but after years and a few harddrive crashes and new computers, I don't have the file anymore.

Now, all the once on YouTube are either Ringfinger, or indeed, Twist, but without the spoken ending.

"Is this on?

oh

i'm so tired I can't get to sleep

the squeaking of the bed is right in time with the song that's repeating in my head.

It's uncomforting to remember how you used to like a good f*ck every once in a while.

I just wanted you to know. When I do it... I only think of you."

Now, I am sure, that someone, somewhere, has this song, and will PLEASE share with me.

Thank you<3<3<3

Here's the deal. My hard-drive is fresh after a recovery, and now I'm rebuilding my iTunes library.

I downloaded my purchases and have imported several of my CDs into the library.

Synced with no problem. Life was good.

I finally acknowledge the annoying popup everytime I start iTunes, and update my version.

It froze during syncing, and corrupted my iPod.

I've tried formatting it through Windows, and doing the restore through iTunes.

And everytime they complete, iTunes freezes/"stops responding", about 250-300 songs in out of almost 1000. And on my actual iPod, there's only the first two or three.

And now, when I try to format my iPod through Windows, I'm informed I don't have the authority, and the little "Check Disk" (another Windows thing) that comes up everytime I plug it in just "Windows was unable to begin the scan". WTF.

Since I'm always listening to music and it's a major stress-relief factor for me, this issue has left me more than a little ticked. It definitely seems like it's a problem with iTunes, rather than my iPod. However, if I want tech support, I need to pay $29, which is something I can't afford for a phone call, and according to the Apple forums, I'm not the only one with this problem and Apples just pretty much scoffing at it.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue, or have a link to the most recent previous version of iTunes?

I'm so stuck! Everyone's talking about this tunnel maniac that wants to race you, and I don't believe I've encountered him. I battled two guys in the ruins, and neither of them have any propositions or care that I've caught all 26 letter-shaped Unown..I really want to get to the second floor and get the other two Unown, the rare candy, and just the satisfaction of completing that part.

Help!

So I currently have a Fujifilm S5000. And it's like, 6 years old and has been through alot, and is finally starting to crap out. So I figured due to it's age, bounds in technology, and repair costs, it's time for a new one.

I'm an amateur photographer. Not the type that takes a black and white picture of a lawn chair and declares it, but I love photography, genuinely, and have ever since middle school. I was the official photographer for my aunt's wedding, and at family gatherings, but more often then not I just love photographing everything- clouds, my snakes, hawks perched on the fence, odd angles of my plants. Anything that catches my attention. Anything that makes me stop and stare. I also work listing stuff on eBay and having a nice camera is really a good thing for that as well.

And it is for this reason I'm not going to accept a little compact camera. I would like to have photography gigs in the future and I'm certainly not going to get one with a compact. Not to mention, my current has 10x zoom and I definitely take full advantage of it. It's one of the "requirements" I guess.

I've narrowed it down to either the Fujifilm S1800 or the Nikon Coolpix P90.

The S1800 is $230, new.

The P90 would be from eBay, newish, and no more than $275 (they go higher, but that's the most I'd be willing to spend).

They both have a great look. Both take SDHC cards. Both are 12 MP with 3-inch LCD displays. They both have similar, photo-enhancing features, it seems. The main difference is price and zoom.

The S1800 has 18x zoom, while the P90 is 24x.

So do you think the Nikon's feature and higher zoom ability is worth the $50+???

Specs:

http://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-FinePix-S1800-Digit...

http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Coolpix-P90-Vibration-...

If Canon has one with a similar look and roughly 12MP with 15x zoom MINIMUM, and available under $275, I'd consider that as well.

Thanks for the help!!

Okay, so my dearest is going to school abroad, and I wish to send him presents (you know, anniversary, birthday, christmas).

It's no secret that it's not going to be cheap, hence why I'm bundling them all together in one package.

But I'm lost as to how to send it. USPS is the fairest price, but I absolutely don't want these getting lost or damaged...so I was thinking about Registered Mail? Would that be good, in comparison to say, FedEx, UPS?

What's more, I want to make sure he won't be charged any sort of taxes/duties/custom fees for receiving the package. Or if he is, how much, so I can send him the money to pay for it. But I can't find anything clear cut, as it's personal, not a sale, and not really "goods", I don't think. Is it? "gift". Would having it insured make a difference?

Thanks for the help :)

I'm looking at a pc laptop a friend of a friend is selling. He said he was given the laptop by a friend, who gave it to him to fix but he doesn't have the time or money to do so.

The thing is...it doesn't power on. ALL of the labels have been removed, so we don't know if it uses XP or Vista or what. We also can't identify the serial number or exact model number.

He said he took the hard drive out for security reasons and that the BIOS chip was bad.

It all seems fishy. This guy is definitely a weasel and while a new hard drive isn't a biggie, I'm not familiar with the BIOS chip, it's function, or if they're really expensive. I certainly don't want to bite off more than I can chew, and I don't want to get caught with stolen goods.

Anyway, I just want to know if there's any other verification besides the stickers that can tell me for sure.

Help is appreciated!

So awhile ago, I was writing about some terrible virus that was killing my computer. I was fairly certain I got rid of it. To be safe, I attempted doing a back up, but it kept failing. And finally, my computer totally crashed. There's no OS on my slave drive, so I can't boot from that, and other hard drives don't work because they're not fit for that computer (I already tried that route). I was told that because I can access the boot menu and whatever was a good sign that my hard drive is still good- the system files are just corrupted.

I need to get all of the files off of the crashed master drive. I was going to have someone set it up for me so that I can do the file transfer (as there's too much stuff in too many folders, and I don't want a reinfection, ya know?) Anyway, this dude is apparently too busy, but he's the only one I could afford and that would let me do the file transfer after setting it up.

So I ordered a USB to SATA/IDE data transfer cables, and a 1TB Western Digital My Book Essential (the newest model). I have access to my parents computer, so I figured I just could plug everything and spend a day transferring the files I want, then do a system recovery and be back in business.

My only questions are- is that a safe method? I'm pretty sure the guy I had spoken to said that Data Transfer Cables hold some risk of failure or something- which is why I wanted him to do it in the first place. But that has me wondering- how the hell else would he or anyone be able to "plug in" my drive to their computers? He does on-site service, so I don't see how he could install my HD onto his laptop. I mean, is installing the hard drive directly into the computer safer/better in general? Because I could do that, I guess. Plugging in some cables seems like less hassle than opening up a computer though, ya know? But if it's safer than by all means, I will.

Help is apprecieated!

Also, how would I get back my Internet Explorer and Firefox favorites? I asked the guy if he'd be able to restore those and he said yes, but didn't elaborate, and since I'm doing this myself, how would I?

Thanks again!!

I posted a question a couple of days ago but I still need major help.

To rehash, what happened is in an attempt to speed up my program, I downloaded Advanced Vista Optimizer by Systweak, and with it I got Advanced System Protector and their Photo Studio...which, I don't recall downloading. The free version of ASP was kind enough to inform me that a.exe, b.exe, and c.exe had plauged my system but didn't stop them because it's the free version. The scan also found about 40 bits of malware and a trojan, and after cleaning it, I noticed I indeed had adware (clicking links would redirect me to bizarre sites), so when I attempted to clean it, I found that all of my programs had been disabled, and when uninstalled and reinstalled, they were shut down soon after beginning to scan. The only scan still running was convienently, the one from Systweak.

Fortunately, I did a system restore, and while I still have all the bad programs, they're not giving me any trouble because they're not uninstalled or tampered with. What happened with a, b, and c, I'm not sure, and I can't find them. I know there's still something bad, because McAfee is periodically disabled. AVO and the like can't be uninstalled.

So far, I've run full scans using HijackThis, SuperAntiSpyware, McAfee, Ad-Aware, Spybot, AVG (and the rootkit scan), and Malware Bytes, but none of them have found whatever is causing this mayhem, and I'm currently running a full scan from Avast, which at this rate, should take the next 3 days.

I should also add that the computer will only boot up in safe mode or sometimes "last good configuaration", otherwise after all the Windows crap loads, the screen just stays black with the white cursor, and the desktop, menu bar, etc never loads.

I was thinking of just moving all of my personal files to my slave drive and reformatting the master drive (which is where the OS and infection iis) but I was told that the slave drive can also be infected already.

So I'm wondering, how can I get rid of this without losing my files?

Also, can it travel to my parent's business computer which is on the same network? If so, how can I protect it?

And finally, does it make its own files, or will it latch itself onto a picture of say, my dead cousin and make it so I have to delete the whole picture?

Real help is apprecieated! Saying "McAfee sucks" or "I had this once.." without telling me how you fixed it isn't helpful.

Okay, so for awhile now I've noticed my computer's been running slower than usual. So despite having Malware Bytes, Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware (paid version), McAfee, and Windows Defender, I wasn't able to find anything. I ditched McAfee and started experimenting with different anti-virus problems, like AVG. I didn't care for AVG, so I dropped that. And in my hunt, I came across Advanced Vista Optimization, and they have another product called Advanced System Protector, so I got those. And it seemed good, it found about 40 things of malware and a trojan. And after completing the scan, I noticed problems arose. At first, the internet on this computer just wouldn't be read, but now it does. But anytime I click on a link, it goes to some random website, like apartmentfinder.com

I can still go to like, www.mcafee.com, but it's really screwed up McAfee (which I reinstalled), and disabled Ad-Aware and the other programs can't be found, because I don't have permission to access the file.

I've uninstalled all of the stuff I've downloaded in the past couple days, and deleted any music and traces of the programs, and checked the processes, and I can't find anything out of the ordinary.

I'm in Safe Mode, but it's still affected.

I tried uninstalling Malware for a try, and reinstalled it, which worked fine, but as soon as it started scanning, it was shut down.

Any ideas of what this is, but more importantly how to get rid of it?!

Thanks!!

PS. The Sysweak Programs were conveniently not affected and kept scanning and finding stuff, which makes me think it's responsible.

And I kind of can't do a system restore because McAfee did a system clean yesterday in an effort to debog the computer, so all of the restore points are gone.

My boyfriend and I finally decided to have sex.

And it was really amazing.

And then at one point in the five hours of constant *******. The condom broke (we used a new condom for each time).

And like...this happened maybe four days before my sister got her period, and she got hers and is over it, and I usually start two days after hers, but I mean...sometimes it's a few days later. But for her to be off and have been off for all this time is..well..unusual. If I don't start by the 20th, I know I'll have to take a test. I just want to know what the odds are so I can hopefully be at ease.

-Not to mention, but would a pregnancy test even be able to read so early, if I conceived a week before my period?

-When would symptoms show up? My breasts were super tender and sore for a week after that night, and I know it's a symptom, but like, maybe he just pulled on my nipples too hard?

-This may be tmi, but like...i can -smell- my period. And every now and then, I swear I can feel myself bleeding, so I check, but I don't. This has been going on for five days. Is this a symptom?

-If I am pregnant, what can I do? I'm jobless and my parents are barely making ends meet, not to mention we don't have insurance and I'd rather them not know anyway (I'm 20, but fear getting kicked out of the house...again). I mean, we used protection, we weren't planning on this nor do we want it. Would I be able to get an abortion at a free clinic or women's center or something?

Thanks for any educated replies and help!

I got a lovely little Hyundai Elantra GLS two years ago as a birthday present. It was in like new condition, with not alot of miles on it.

In the past two years, I've taken countless hour long rides, and a few long-distance rides (about 3 hours each way). And not once have I changed the oil. Which is apparently bad.

Anyway. It's my understanding engine flushes are bad, even though I think it would benefit my car, because apparently, that's how gunk is built up.

I was looking at Amsoil's Engine Flush, which doesn't appear to be a typical engine flush, as it's just stuff you put in before an oil change, and let the engine run with it for about half an hour. Is it as harmful as this guy describes: http://autotechrepair.suite101.com/article.cfm/is_... engine flushes are?

I'm also stuck with a new car battery for my little car. How exactly does one determine what it is? On a previous Y! Answer, I discovered that apparently Interstate Batteries/ Hyundai make their own unique battery. But Batteries Plus also carries apparently acceptable batteries. Can anyone clear the air? What's more, how can one tell what type of battery a particular battery is (i.e. conventional, maintence-free).

A good solid answer is most appreciated!

My youngest sister got in a fight a couple days ago, and she got punched hard in the nose, and in the side, and possibly in the chest.

That night, and the past two nights, she's had trouble breathing.

It happens suddenly, she'll go to inhale, and the air just can't get into her lungs, even if she tries breathing in through her mouth. She only wheezes, and can't breathe. This is the third night in the row, and this has never happened to her before.

We live in Sarasota, FL (if there's some kind of pollen being released at night), but I feel this may be from the fight (she's a biggun, btw. 5'4", 150lbs).

Any help is apprecieated, we just gave her an antihistamine and are letting her get all steamy. We plan on taking her to the doctor tomorrow.

I know it's from a TV commercial.

And I know...it's like..techno/dance/new stuff. It has a pretty rapid beat.

And I don't know the words. But it popped into my head today when out of nowhere I sang my dogs name to the beat:

"miniminiminimini mini meeee"

Any possible clues are welcome.

My sister's dog sometimes gets little red bumps on his "armpits" and chest/belly, but it's like..it only happens when he's had too many treats. He hasn't been getting much of anything besides his L.I.D dogfood, but it showed up, and is only getting worse, and we're stumped. There's even scabs behind his ears and on his tail, where he's obviously been itching so badly.

What's more confusing, is that my sister has developed very similar red bumps along her thighs and stomach....could he have passed it onto her? He always sleeps up in her bed.

I don't think it can be fleas or anything, since he's treated with Frontline or something monthly.
