I have an expensive hamster cage but I want a different one!?
I have a Habitrail OVO Suite, but I want a fish tank or Critter Trail instead, now. But It would be hard to sell because my cage has 2 broken lock connectors. One is duct taped together but still weaker, and the other I lost so I have to tape the cage together where the lock connector use to go. And there are also several scratches on the cage, some big, some small. Also the water bottle broke. And I don’t want to lose alot of cash selling the cage for a low price. What should I do? PLEASE HELP I NEED HELP FAST!!!! Also the cage doesn’t have enough room for toys, or anything. Also it’s hard to clean. So I don’t really want to keep using it.


If you can return it because it broke because of a design flaw, then I’d try that. Other than that… Try to look online for a proper hamster cage.

Can I get some opinions on this poem I wrote called " behind closed doors" please?
Can I get some opinions on this poem called " behind closed doors" that I wrote please?

Denied justice, concealing her shame from society.
Reclusive tears settling upon a lake of a broken soul.
A nightmare, these things she endures.
All behind closed doors.

Belie he appears to be perfect.
A mirage, an illusion from a master of disguise.
Carefully he does plot each move.
Like in a game of chess.
He is the king, she is his pawn.

A marriage yes,
a partnership no.
For he controls all that happens,
behind closed doors.

Igby Goes Down
Igby Goes Down (2002)

IMDB rating: 7.10

Plot: Igby Slocumb, a rebellious and sarcastic seventeen year-old boy, is at war with the oppressive world of his East Coast “old money” family. With a schizophrenic father, a self-absorbed, distant mother, and a shark-like young Republican big brother, Igby figures there must be a better life out there, and he sets out to find it. After happily flunking out of several Prep Schools, Igby escapes into the bohemian underworld of Manhattan. His darkly comic trip—shared by a deviant cast of characters, including his terminally bored, part-time lover Sookie, his Godfather’s trophy mistress Rachel, and smack-dealing performance artists Russel—veers from bizarre to tragic in Igby’s ultimately noble attempt to keep himself from “going down.”

Question on shortening a novel title?
I’m writing a comparison essay on The Catcher in the Rye and the film Igby Goes Down.

I want to shorten the title in my essay, so it sounds a bit less formal.

Would ‘Catcher’ be appropriate?

As in: "While Catcher takes place in the 1940s…"


it’s okay for me…. hmmm.,.. try…

good luck!

neenz | Feb 18, 2009


It’s acceptable provided you state the full name early on; in later references to the specific book, you may do as in your example.
dieterzakas | Feb 18, 2009


that’s lame make it intricate why would you want an essay to seem less formal
chris | Feb 18, 2009


i guess ….it doesnt sum it all up well but you could give it a try
Ali B | Feb 18, 2009


This is what my college professor taught me. You don’t want to make it to bland and open. Catcher. What about it? Who are you referring to? Things like that which can open up annoying questions. You want basically two titles, one that’s fresh and has a catch to it and then the other basically what the essay is kind of about. Such as Catcher in the Rye against Igby Goes Down: The comparison between these two great films. I know you want a short title but once you hit college they mark those down so it’s just a little heads up. Hope that helped.

Do You Find Matthew Horne And James Corden As Un-Funny As I Do?
I think they are two of the worst comedians in the past ten years.

Horne And Corden-Average at best
Gavin And Stacey-WORST.COMEDY.EVER.
Lesbian Vampire Killers-Not my favourite movie of all time.The only funny bit was at the start,and that didn’t even have them in.

So,what do you think?

Star if you think they are useless


What the hell is wrong with you.

Horne And Corden - Ok, admit that it wasn’t spectacular but funny in places
Gavin And Stacey - My favourite comedy show in the 14 years I’ve been born
Lesbian Vampire Killers - Amazing.

| Dec 09, 2009


They are not comedians they are actors who have done comedy roles. There performances are only as funny as the writing.

Playing a piano concerto tomorrow - tips or suggestions?
I’m 15, and I’m playing the first movement of Saint-Saens’ second piano concerto with an orchestra tomorrow night. The 1000+ seat auditorium is completely sold out…and I’m starting to get a little nervous.

The thing I’m most nevous about is BEING nervous. I get shaky when I’m nervous, and I’m afraid that happens, making it harder to play.

Also, how do I deal with cold hands?

Any other suggestions for performing a
concerto (about stage presence, relaxing, feeling
confident, or anything else) would be appreciated so much!


First of all, stage freight is a normal feeling for all artists and it is very important that you should participate as much as you can in concerts and competitions to gain the proper experience, for overcoming same fear, and here are some general useful tips:

1.Try to control and calm yourself depending on the fact that you have practiced well and have reached the perfection level in your usual performance.
2.Practice now your live performance, i.e. play the whole work without stopping in front of your family or friends, or even imagine that you’re on stage.
3.Upon starting your concert, forget about your fear and concentrate on your perfect performance with your full expression.
4.I always have a very simple solution that perfectly overcome the cold weather and at the same time refresh your concentration, that is to have some fast walk before the concert, or any sort of simple physical exercises, in addition of course your wearing of the proper heavy clothes, that would really make all your body warm and give you much self confidence.

Good Luck
TK | Feb 05, 2010


Performing in front of alot of people for the first few times can be a nerve-wracking experience. It does get easier over time, until you finally get into a routine that calms you before getting on stage. But for that first time, you should consider these VERY important and useful tips:

1. Make sure you are over prepared. As a pianist, you pretty much have the Saint-Saens memorized by now - you can play the whole piece without hardly glancing at the music. If not, that’s ok, just make sure you atleast memorize the hardest phrases, the most technically challenging parts, and the beginning and end. That way, you feel more confident before you even play the first note

2. Everything you do before you start playing should be rehearsed as much as the piece itself. Having a routine calms you and makes you feel more like you are sitting down to another practice session by yourself. It helps tune out all the people, because you essentially create your own safe haven right there on the bench where you have done this a million times. Any new activity or change in that routine can make you start to feel out of sorts, and nervous. So rehearse walking out on stage, addressing the audience, and setting down to get to work. Have a moment on stage where you breathe, listen to the piece in your head, set your tempo, and go. Do this many many times.

3. Perform for your parents, grandparents, friends, co work.. oh wait your 15. Teachers, strangers, perform as often as you can before tomorrow. Get used to playing this piece in front of people before tomorrow and you’ll already have the ‘first time’ jitters out.

4. Smile and have fun. Like a sport, it’s just a game. People are there NOT to watch you fail, but to enjoy your hard work and dedication. You are bringing them music and culture, joy and peace. Really whats the worse that could happen? So relax and have fun.

Best of luck to you. Love Saint-Saens.

Stoic

Stoic
Stoic (2009)

IMDB rating: 3.70

Plot: A heated game of poker causes three men incarcerated for nonviolent offenses to brutalize their cellmate before taking drastic measures in order to cover up their crime.

Directors: Boll Uwe

Actors: Furlong Edward,Sipos Shaun,Levinson Sam,Mennekes Steffen,Switch Jamie,Teigen Michael,Alexander Reese,Boileau Daniel,Drama,

In the movie 'The Bridge on the River Kwai', why did stoic Colonel Nicolson collaborate with Japanese?
First, I thought that he wanted to keep the high spirit of his people (British captives) but why did he betray the commandos at the end of the movie? The colonel did not look actually mad at all.


A good question, Pierre Boulle, the author of the novel on which the book was based, was a prisoner in Thailand during WWII and based the character of Colonel Nicholson on some French officers who collaborated with the Japanese, something the British POWs did not do - so the film is not historically accurate. Why he chose to change the nationality only he knows, and it does give me the impression that he was being Anglophobic.

Why did Nicholson co-operate, I think it was to prove to the Japanese that while they might be in charge now, that the enduring strength of British character would endure in the long-term hence his spells in the "oven" and determination not to be broken by the experience. His intention being to demonstrate to his men that they could only survive by being determined. Why did he betray the commandos…I think by then he’d descended into a form of madness and associated himself too closely with his captors that is until the final scene. This is the "Stockholm Syndrome" - the process by which captives begin to grow friendly with either their jailers or kidnappers.

If you ever get a chance the River Kwai region is worth visiting, in Kanchanaburi there is just the bridge, a couple of mueums and an immaculately kept cemetery, but you can still travel along part of the death railway and the scenery is fantastic.

| Feb 03, 2010


obviously he took too much pride in the construction of the bridge, and he had come to respect the Japanese commander, to think straight, but he did shake it off and do the right thing

- Based on the novel of the same name, published in 1954, by Pierre Boulle, The Bridge on the River Kwai was the first of David Lean’s spectacular multi-million pound epic’s, followed by Lawrence of Arabia (1962) and Doctor Zhivago (1965), that brought international acclaim and Oscars galore to the already renowned director of smaller, more intimate films such as Brief Encounter (1945) and Oliver Twist (1948). Shot in extremely difficult conditions on location in Ceylon, Sri Lanka and produced by Sam Spiegel, The Bridge on the River Kwai cemented Lean’s reputation as a director as well as foreshadowing the domination he was to have over the box-office for years to come.

The film opens up with a lingering shot of a hawk, hovering high in the sky, before cutting to a birds eye view of a jungle, as we take in the density the camera catches a glimpse of a spattering of crudely dug graves adorned with crosses sitting idly by a railway line. Focusing on the graves we are introduced to two raggedy clothed men, one of whom is Major Sears (William Holden), an American prisoner of war, digging the graves of his fallen comrades; fellow prisoners who have fallen due to hard labour, disease or starvation. The realities of the camp are laid bare within this opening scene, the following dialogue is littered with the gallows humour of men that have become far too accustomed to death.

It is another Hollywood distortion of the real truth .I cannot be bothered to go into the facts . Who can compete against Hollywood fairy tales ,and unfortunately those who believe in "True Movies"
stabilis | Feb 03, 2010


I saw "Gone With The Wind" several times, then read the book.

It seems Hollywood has a tendency to moderate politically sensitive scenes OR add final twists of irony which authors somehow miss. Agree with Jay that the book may be more accurate.

How to get multiple background images with CSS?
I am redesigning my website with CSS & HTML. I have just learnt how to code CSS (previously I used WYSIWYG Web Builder 5) & I need to know how to get multiple (2) background images. 1 that repeats y & x , & the the other that just repeats y down the center of the page.

I’ve done it with WYSIWYG Web Builder 5, by repeat-y my image, but I had to replace my preferred background with a single color.

here’s my site to see what I mean: http://blackwater.freehost10.com

I want the center image with the drop shadow to repeat-y & another image behind it to repeat-y & x


You should be able to do it with nested DIV tags… For example:

<div> <– style this for x and y repeat
<div> <– style this for y repeat

</div>
</div>
luke.reimer | Feb 21, 2009


As luke already stated, I believe you’ll have to use nested DIV’s.

Dreaming of oil rigs?
I was dreaming of offshore oil rigs and discussing the relative benefits of high tide earth jetties to deliver oil as opposed to low tide ones ( only available at low tide )

All this was total nonsense as such jetties do not exist !

Any guesses ?

There were also deep sea scuba divers walking past in their diving gear.

That was a bit strange as we were in a desert.


Dreaming of oil may indicate a need to ‘lubricate’ a relationship in order to keep it running along smoothly, whether by adopting peacekeeping tactics in a difference of opinion or by suppressing one’s own feelings in order to keep things on an even keel
Tide means sorrow
Sea indicates rough and turbulent sorrow.
Desert indicates loss of friends or wealth. Loneliness and isolation.

I could not find anything on scuba divers. These are what it COULD mean. i’m not saying it does mean that.

Broken after boyfriend breaks up with me for no reason!?
This is quite a long story, but I appreciate any advice. I’m sinking very fast after my boyfriend of 4 months broke up with me. I know it isn’t a very long relationship, but we were very close, the moment I met him, I was very comfortable with him and he was with me too. He even told me how amazed he was at how close we were early on. I really fell for him very fast, he was funny, smart, good looking and most of all kind and easy to talk to and relax with. We clicked straight away but there was one glitch. Though we were both living in the same city going to two different colleges, I moved to the city for college from another city a few hours away, meaning the summer which was 4 months away when we broke up, would involve one of us travelling to see each other.

Up to Christmas everything was great, then we had holidays for two weeks, but we phoned a lot and texted and so were always in contact, I couldnt wait to see him when we got back. When we got back things were good, and a while later, there was a three week period when we did not see each other due to his college holidays. However like before we kept in contact everyday. a few days before he came back, he visited me by surprise and was delighted to see me, happy and everything, and I went home happy knowing that in a few days he would back constantly for 4months and we could enjoy the rest of the year before the summer would arise.

However, within four days, he came over and told me he was breaking up with me, giving me a reason that the distance was an issue for him and the horrible words that he didnt like me as much as he used to before. I was horrified as he had changed completely in the space of 4 days, and to me that wasnt much of a reason, we had so much time left together and the issues of distance could be sorted, he knew that when he asked me out first.

He then suggested a break for a few days so that he could think about it. I agreed only because I didnt want to lose him. We didnt talk for the two days and we agreed on a certain day to meet and discuss it. When I texted him on the day, he said he would call me later. I realised he wasnt going to come over at all, he would end it by phone call and I asked him for it face to face. He said he hadnt time, and so I asked for some indication what was going on and not to leave me hanging.An hour later, he text me saying, he liked going out with me, but the relationship had run its course for him." and that was that.

We havent talked at all since and we probably wont, we dont have the same friends or college so chances are seeing each other are slim, Im just very heartbroken. Everything was great with this guy and he dropped this on me out of nowhere, I dont understand how someone can go from hot to cold so easily in the space of a few days and there is nothing I have done to him to cause it. I was faithful, caring, honest and gave him his space, I even asked him did his friends think I was taking over and he told me that was never the case, he also said there was no other girl and I do believe him. He was really a geniuenly good boyfriend. But the way he ended it and broke up with me was really hurtful and cold!

I feel so empty without him, Ive had other breakups, but never had such feelings for a guy before nor have I been left with so little answers. How can I get over him?
