is it a scam? it seems that random people periodically pop up to raise my bid. and im curious if they are just bots from the company to make you bid higher, or if they are real people. anyone know?I am also skeptical about the "magical" bids that appear.

IE...Box's, circles and other things I mean, I've seen a tutorial, but I lost it before I could look over it.

I only get to watch The Sopranos now and then, but one time I caught the end of a particular episode. Season three is currently screening in Australia. I can’t remember what happened during the actual episode, but I remember the promotion for next week’s episode. The end spiel went like this: It started with some lady in a costume tapping Tony Soprano on the shoulder, and he turns around. I think they were in a kitchen of a restaurant. She was dressed like she was about to do a starring role in Chicago. Then the voiceover goes, "Tony Soprano is corrupt. He has no morals. And he’s going straight to hell. But next week, Tony will find out the true value of life." That sounded intriguing enough to me, but as usual I d...... - 2009-07-04

» How do I save a girl who is high on heroin?

She is only 19 years old. I love her very much, despite the fact that she once was a sex worker. The crucial problem now is she lives with street gangs and she doesn't want to quit (the drugs as well as the gangs probably).What I should do to rescue her? I know she couldn't do that job any more because of her physical status and appearance caused by the effect of long-term drug taking. She never told me the truth and just tried to get money as much as possible from me for any ridiculous reason. As I was told by one of her friends, she turned to the method of injection since she was 15. Last time I met her and saw her hands were totally swell, how does this caused? Why there are no new injection wounds in her arms? Does she really ...... - 2009-07-04

» "What Is A Workout?" who wrote it? when/where was it first published?

George Allen, football coach for the Washintgon Redskins, has been informally credited (by people on the internet) with writing a piece called: What Is A Workout? George Allen is now dead. He has a son who is a U.S. Congressman (if that helps.) George was also the chair of the Preident's Council on Phsical Fitness and Sport (1981-88). I will give you the first and last few sentences of the piece, and you should be able to find it yourself in its entirety on the web. A workout is 25 percent perspiration and 75 percent determination. Stated another way, it is one part physical exertion and three parts self-discipline. Doing it is easy once you get started. A workout makes you better today than you were yesterday. It streng...... - 2009-07-04

Atheists are kicked out of fox holes....who can't have doughnut holes?The Zen Buddhist baker shapes the doughnut hole by removing everything around it which is NOT a doughnut.There is a heresy called "donatism" (sic) that states that any adherent who samples the doughnuts in the parish hall before attending the service is in a state of sin.Hopefully atheists can have doughnut holes because I don't like jelly or cream filled ones!Aholians- think about that one for a second.Any body that can take the weight of the sin they ?

» download over webservices

Hello, I am dealing with a problem I would like to discuss, I need to design a server side application that a client can download files from, The file itself is 35megs of XML data. The options are: webservices Secured FTP HTTPS the credentials sent to the server must be encrypted. and authentication is done by a third party product. Application must be written in C# .net on IIS web server. I tend to go with HTTPS since believe this will be the simples layout though I am not sure how to handle a case where the download stops and need to continue after a while from the same point. suggestions? does anyone see any benefit by using Secured FTP or Web services? (over HTTPS and Secured FTP I believe I can zip the xml file to 1/10th ...... - 2009-07-04

» Have this ever happened to you? how can it happen?

Once when I got my orgasm, it came blood from my penis. Why is that?.... I have heard that if you pee blood it's cause of the kidney, but what about blood with my sperm...?was it fresh red blood or dried dark blood? If it was fresh its possible you just rubbed the head too hard or slightly tore the pee hole (Ouch!). If its dried or dark it could be internal. If it only happened once I wouldn't worry but if it continues go to the doctor.First of all men don't get orgasms. If i did then that retarded. Cause i only need to jack off maybe 5 min and *** comes flying out. You need to go to the doc that has never happened to me.Maybe your testicles are bleeding internally. That's the only reason I could think of.dude thi...... - 2009-07-04

» which format??

hey guys, was just wandering which format has the best quality to save to? im using GIF mostly atm, but maybe JPEG? or even PSD (photoshop) what do you guys use?Well not GIF. What are you using it for? Some may say PSD, TIFF and JPEG. I say if youre going to post the image online or print it, then JPEG. But for archiving I suppose TIFF (it's what I learnt in school). I just make them JPEG because I've always done that with no problems. I will save as PSD if there are layers on it to enhance the image. Otherwise they stay as JPEG which is what my camera saves at. When I scan an image I'll just make it JPEG.Tiff and PSD are lossless...so you won't loose any quality when you save a file in these formats. If you save a file as JPG, y...... - 2009-07-04

» Clothing for portraits?

Those of you who do people/kid photography, do you have a do/don't list of what you suggest they wear for the shoot? If so, do you mind sharing? I have some ideas in mind, but I'd definitely be interested to see what your suggestions are. Thanks in advance!Read THIS (http://super.nova.org/DPR/Backgrounds/)Thanks so much! Specifically, I'll be taking some outdoor photos soon with a 3yo girl, just for fun. The backgrounds will be varied - wooden walking bridge, pond, rocks, trees, fountain, etc. The lighting will be filtered to sunny morning light. I've suggested a plain light colored top and khakis or jeans or a simple jumper-type dress because there will be a lot of details in the setting. Any thoughts on that?

I have to take a test this Saturday. It's a high school application test for a Magnet program, and I really want to get in. I cam currently in a magnet program for middle school. I don't remember being this nervous the week before the test back in 5th grade, but I am really nervous and scared of the test on Saturday. How can I stop being scared and nervous about the test?The best way to not be nervous or scared is to be the opposite; CONFIDENT. To be confident, just prepare best you can for the test, and study hard.

» How do i become popular but the leader of the popular group hates me and he determans who is popular.?

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.... there's no such thing as a "leader" of the "popular group" real popular people are just those who are fun and friendly, they don't hate or judge. just be yourself, not a poser and thats it. the leader of the group hated me and i was still in that crowd pfff i do what i want and besides everyone else liked me and i have the personality, looks, you name it i-got it, i belonged there...basically that guy (who is now fat and homeless) didn't have control over anything, though at times he would say rude things to me and it got annoying...Why would you want to be "popular"? It's so stupid. If you have great friends who stick by you no matter what, you don't n...... - 2009-07-04
