Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

IMDB rating: 8.70

Plot: U.S. President Merkin Muffley is on the hot line to Moscow with some rather embarrassing news for the Soviet premier: “Hello, Dimitri….I’m fine….Now then, you know how we’ve always talked about the possibility of something going wrong with the bomb….The bomb, Dimitri. The hydrogen bomb….Well, now, what happened is that, uh, one of our base commanders…he went a little funny in the head….and he went and did a silly thing….He ordered his planes to attack your country.” A comedy about an accidental nuclear attack? One that ends with total annihilation, thermonuclear apocalypse? Preposterous! Stanley Kubrick thought otherwise. In the end his thinking prevailed. The mad saga revolves around a psychotic Strategic Air Command officer, Gen. Jack D. Ripper, who lets loose his B-52 bomber squadron on the Soviet Union. Ripper takes this unilateral action because of his paranoid belief that Communists are sapping and contaminating “all our precious bodily fluids” as part of their plan to take over the world.” Unbeknownst to Ripper, his attack will trigger the Russian’s ultimate weapon, the Doomsday Machine, a diabolical retaliatory device set to blow up the planet.

Burning smell from hard-drive… is it completely damaged?!?
Recently I changed the caddies of my hard-drive and I think something went wrong because the drive emitted a burning plastic type smell. I’m worried that this caused damage to it…because I tried putting it into to it’s old caddie.. but it no longer switched on.. does this definetly mean that my drive is gone? is there any way to recover the files on my own somehow?


Probably the only way of retrieving the data it to replace the circuit board on the hard drive with an identical one. Most hard drive manufacturers offer a repair service but I wouldn’t expect it to be cheap. If you do repair the drive then you’d be best not to try it in either caddie but to connect it straight to the motherboard of your PC. It’s a simple case of how much you value the lost data as to whether you’d bother or just consider it a lost cause.
Mickey T | Jan 27, 2010


It could be that you are blocking the fan area and it is getting hot, making it smell a bit as well as get hot. Also. is the computer running fine? If not. your hard drive could be currupted. Best thing to do, is buy a new hard drive if worse comes to worse.
Bex | Jan 27, 2010


Computer could be overheating, make sure your fans are running o.k. But seems like your hard drive has had it. To get your stuff out of it, cost. Also make sure if you discard it for a new one, get some one to drill lots of holes in it. This will prevent pirates taking out your private details. And using it .
mike b | Jan 27, 2010


all you can do is remove it from the caddie and try connecting direct to the motherboard and check

Hooker is shaken down by a crooked cop, Snyder, who threatens to turn him over to Lonigan unless he pays him off. Hooker pays him, he then tries to warn Luther but is too late.

After hearing what happened to Luther and seeing how hungry Hooker is for payback, he assembles a gang and decides to con Lonigan.

Vitamin A Peel for acne prone skin?
I used to visit some type of dermatologist clinic once a month for some type of Vitamin A facial peel to treat my acne breakouts.
From memory, it was orange/yellow colour facial, stings a bit when applying and applied, washed off after 10 minutes. It works for the next two weeks to dry up the facial oil glands for a few weeks.

Question: what is brand of the facial peel and where can I get it from.

Thank you!

IMDB rating: 7.80

Plot: Ted Striker just got dumped by his long-time girlfriend Elaine Dickinson, who works as a stewardess at Trans American Airlines. In his wish to get her back, he follows her aboard the plane, although he has had a deep aversion against anything winged since he lost several men in the war. During flight, he tries to contact her again and again, but as the crew and many passengers get seriously ill due to a bad fish meal, he has no chance to get to her. In fact, Ted Striker seems to be the only healthy person aboard that has piloting experience. Now, it is up to him to get the bird down in Chicago safely, before the poisoning starts causing casualties. But Ted Striker’s aversion really is a serious psychosis, which breaks open and needs to be cured - right now.

Is there anywhere i can find airplane models for free?
Well, i’m looking for a place where i can find images of models like non-assembled. Sides, wings, propellers and wheels. I want to print them, glue them to a piece of cardboard, cut them out and assemble them. if you know a site like that post the link below.
ive found some models (2) on www.papertoys.com if it’s still unclear as to what i mean, this site should make it clear.


I am sorry but I don’t know of any sites but you might find some for a reasonable price at thrift stores.

Sebi’s friends, a beautiful rich girl from Beverly Hills named “Matty” (Natalia Livingston), and his idol, a famous Bronx poet named “Gaetano D’Amico” (Joe Mantegna) bring Sebi face to face with his identity and help him find the courage to be exactly who he was all along.

Applying for Dual citizenship in Ireland. Do I have enough Irish blood to get it?
My mothers side of the family is where I inherit my Irish blood. My Grandmother is 100% Irish as well as her mother; my Great Grandmother. Her parents migrated to Brooklyn from Ireland. My family names are Sullivan(O’Sullivan) and Conway. To put it simply I am 50% Irish and 50% West Indian.


Was your grandmother born on the island of Ireland? If your grandmother was born on the island of Ireland then you can claim Irish citizenship through her, you need to get yourself registered on the Foreign Births Register - your citizenship will exist from the date you go on the register.

However, If your grandmother was not born on the island of Ireland but was a citizen through her parents (your great grandparents), you cannot claim Irish citizenship unless your mother was on the Foreign Births Register before you were born.

You cannot claim Irish citizenship through a great-grandparent.

froggequene | Nov 19, 2009


well unless someone from there who’s willing to sponsor/petition you then its possible. but if you are saying you are an irish then wants to immigrate there..i don’t think it will work there…unless you are born there.
angel | Nov 19, 2009


You are eligible, and may apply for Irish citizenship, if you have a grandparent and, in a very, very few instances, a great-grandparent who is or was an Irish-born citizen.
deathbybunnies | Nov 19, 2009


The way to do this is to get yourself on the Irish Foreign Births Register. This will give you a certificate certifying that you are an Irish citizen. If your grandmother was born in Ireland, you can do that. If not, you can only do that if your mother herself claimed Irish citizenship through registration on the Foreign Births Register before 1 July 1986.

If you qualify through either of those means, the first link below explains how to get yourself on the Foreign Births Register. If you don’t have but need your grandmother’s Irish birth certificate, you can get an official copy from the General Register Office in Roscommon, Ireland (second link below). Once you have a certificate that you are on the Register, that is proof of Irish citizenship which you can use to get an Irish passport - which is not much practical use for entering or leaving the USA as the USA requires its citizens to use their US passport to enter or leave, regardless of any other citizenship they have, but it might have its uses if you ever want to travel around the countries of the European Union.
The Dark Side | Nov 19, 2009


http://www.citizensinformation.ie/catego ries/moving-country/irish-citizenship/ir ish_citizenship_through_birth_or_descent

see section - Citizenship through descent from Irish grandparents

If one of your grandparents is an Irish citizen but none of your parents was born in Ireland, you may become an Irish citizen. You will need to have your birth registered in the Foreign Births Register.

see the chart - you may be D or E provided your birth was registered.

yes it will

"And here’s the kicker. If you were born outside Ireland to non-Irish citizens, you’re still eligible to claim Irish citizenship if any one of your grandparents was born in Ireland."
The article explains how and what you need qualify for Irish citizenship. Good luck!

How do you determine the value of sigma with infinity as the upper parameter?
For instance, I designed the sigma equations below.

X=sigma[1, infinity, (-1)^(k-1)*1/(2^k)]
X=.3333…= 1/3.

sigma[1, infinity, (-1)^(k-1)*1/(3^k)]
X=.2499…= 1/4.

How do you arrive at these answers without plugging in iteration after iteration and hoping you end up with a recognizable constant? There has to be a way.

Bonus points if you come up with a method that works for Big Pi notation as well.

Good Rap Playlist Suggestions?
I don’t normally listen to Rap. But I want to make a good mixed CD for the car for when I’m in the mood to bump the bass. I don’t have any rap downloaded, so I’m a clean slate, and willing to try anything. I like Wu-Tang, and some Eminem but that’s about all I’ve listened to. I normally like the more angry rap. All suggestions are welcome!

Thanks!

How to get out of babysitting?
I’m a 13 year old girl. I used to always have to go to my neighbor’s house before school because both my parents worked. This went on for several years. However, for the hour I spent there every morning, I was either helping my neighbor (who is my age) entertain his younger brother and sister, or I was helping clean up toys and whatnot. I made sure that I was no burden to the adults in the family.

Now I am constantly asked to go babysit. I spent pretty much half of my winter break babysitting. I have to go over there at 10 AM and I don’t get to leave until 3 or 4 in the afternoon, because that’s when their mom gets home from work. My neighbor (the one that is my age) doesn’t help me at all. He just plays video games. Also, I’m the one who makes everyone lunch (soup, pasta, etc.)

I got transferred to private school, so I don’t need to be at their house anymore. I’m much too old anyway. This morning I agreed to babysit tomorrow and Saturday because my ride to school was in my driveway and I had to leave, I didn’t have time to talk about it. I feel trapped because I’m told that if I didn’t babysit, their mom wouldn’t be able to find anyone else to do it. I do get paid, but only about ten dollars for five hours of babysitting.

Now half of my four day weekend is gone and I feel inclined to babysit, but I REALLY don’t want to. I’m so bored because it’s just me and my neighbor’s little brother and sister, because all he does is play video games. He’s my age, I don’t understand why he can’t just watch his siblings himself.

Does this seem fair to you? Is there any way I can get out of babysitting tomorrow?

Plot: After suffering an injury during a routine patrol, hardened sergeant TK Poole is granted a one-month leave to visit his fiance. But when an unexpected blackout cancels all flights out of New York, TK agrees to share a ride to Pittsburgh with two similarly stranded servicemen: Cheever, an older family man who longs to return to his wife in St. Louis, and Colee, a naive private who’s pinned her hopes on connecting with a dead fellow soldier’s family. What begins as a short trip unexpectedly evolves into a longer journey. Forced to grapple with old relationships, broken hopes and a country divided over the war, TK, Cheever and Colee discover that home is not quite what they remembered, and that the unlikely companionship they’ve found might be what matters the most.

Jewelry turns skin black.. help!?
My boyfriend just bought me a new necklace for Christmas from a major retailer.. it is definately gold and not fake, although its not pure gold. he spend like 300 on it.. and when I wear it the chain around the penant turns black and so does the area on my skin.. i thought maybe it was just the chain, since you mainly pay for the penant and i figure dmayeb the chain was cheap, so i placed it on my old necklace chain and it still turned that one black too. I heard and talked to somene and they said that usuall ymeans your allegic to it.. that you need pure gold (lucky him, aint? lol).. so I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or has had this problem.. and if ther eis any way to stop it from happening or anythng the retailer can do or tha ti can do myself?


i do know for a fact that if you wear foundation/make up and if real gold touches it, it turns the make up black. i dont think it is an allergic reation unless you are getting bumps, itching or ozzing out gooey stuff. oh and its normal it happens to me you just have to clean it. hopes this helps. answer my question thanks
Her | Jan 14, 2010


Hes might be just a allergic to real gold. He might just have to wear to wear vermeil, which is 22 to 16 carrot gold plated. Or just try silver!!!
Omar T | Jan 14, 2010


Tell your boyfriend to take it back maybe they will exchange it for something else or return your money i only have heard about fake jewelry that does that .
lilyzu | Jan 14, 2010


It probably means you’re allergic. I’m allergic to any earrings that aren’t surgical steel. I’ve tried wearing pure gold and pure silver, but I usually end up with either pus spurting out of my ear or black goo clogging up my piercings. I’m pretty sure that you can’t stop it, but wear clothes that have a higher neck so that the pendant isn’t in direct contact with your skin.

iPod touch and iTunes help?
I have my sister iPod touch and have some problems with it. We bought this device in Orlando, FL in our Thanksgiving vacation. To use the iPod in the vacation we connected the iPod to my step sister’s MacBook. When we came from the vacations my sister put a passcode in here iPod and she forgot it. We’ve tried a lot and now the iPod says "iPod is disabled" "Connect to iTunes". I connected the iPod to my MacBook to see if it worked and it didn’t work. She got a Windows 7 PC for Christmas and I would like to connect her iPod in her PC without having to connect it back to my step sister MacBook. How can I do this?


I wish i could help, but i’m stuck in like, the same position. ): Lol
