Hey, well since it's the new year and all I decided to go ahead and experiment a bit with my nonexistent fashion :\ I am a huge fan of the classic Frank Sinatra style, however I realize that suits all the time aren't the best in today's fashion. I really just want a cool clean cut classy style that I can wear everyday but not overdue it and look like I'm out of place. Any suggestions/tips?

Here are some pictures of myself:

Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm a sophomore in high school and I have a very high interest in computer hardware. Not to brag at all, but I have built my own custom computer from separate parts from newegg so I know a good deal about hardware, and I find it all very very interesting and fun. For a while I thought of being a software engineer, but Visual Basic made me go insane so I am really looking towards going to college for designing cpus/video cards either at intel or nvidia. Not specifically those companies but it would be nice. I live in Indiana and within decent range of Purdue University, and I also know that Purdue was ranked 11 in engineering in the U.S. What I want to know is what I should be taking to be prepared to eventually take an engineering job at companies, like stated above, in college. I have looked a bit into it and have found that electrical engineering is the way to go with a gearing towards computers of course. Any help is appreciated!

Alright well for some reason my secondary computer stopped powering on, at first I checked the power switch jumpers and they were okay. But that didn't work so I tried "jump-starting" my computer with a standard head screwdriver, still nothing. Then I unhooked the 24-pin motherboard power cord and then plugged it back in. I heard a click and then tried it a gain slower which powered the computer on with all fans and everything going. So I think it's just a bad seating, but the problem is that sometimes if i plug it all the way in everything turns off. Sometimes it stays on and after plugging it back in I tried the power switch jumpers and those still don't work. I'm gonna put it in a different case, but other than that, any ideas?

If I want better mpg from cold air intake in the lower rpms then should I also spend more money on an exhaust system? Or is it okay to just install a cold air intake system by itself? I have a 1999 tiburon by the way.

I had a question up here previously but accidentally added some wrong extra details, but I got some good answers and now my question is: If I don't do anything else other than a COI (i don't plan on racing or anything stupid, I have read up on COI's increasing mpg) will I be okay? Or should I fork out another $230 for exhaust or is there something else cheaper I could do? BTW everything is stock right now with 75K miles, 5 speed manual, and it gets around 26 mpg. I was hoping for 30-31 mpg after installation...

Hi, I'm 15 years old and have been working out for about 4 months now and I've gone from 137 to about 134 lbs and went from 14% body fat to around 10% body fat. I'm very pleased with my results, but I definitely wanna get ripped at least by my Junior Year (I'm going into my Sophomore year now). I have been weight lifting and I have a good program going with switching the exercises around so I don't plateau and all (I can bench 155 from 135 4 months ago) And I guess my question is, what can I do to get on a good diet that will bring me down to 8 if not 7% body fat while raising my muscle mass up? Here is a regular day for me as for eating:

Breakfast:

350 Calories

7.5 Fat

25 Carbohydrate

25 Protein

13 Sugars

Lunch:

400 Calories

10 Fat

47 Carbohydrates

29 Sugars

31 Protein

Supper:

41.2 Protein

15 Sugars

TOTAL FOR DAY:

1548 Calories

38.5g Fat

179g Carbohydrates

85g Protein

42g Sugar

I have heard that you can cycle calories and such, any help?

I play trumpet and have heard stories of people using too much mouthpiece pressure, even once going to the extent of a guy's teeth breaking into his mouth. I just started band camp today and well it just didn't feel too right and it always seems like my teeth move in a different position every day when I wake up. I don't know if that is normal or if it's just my jaw getting moved around or something, but I was just wondering because I'm always told not to use too much mouthpiece pressure, which really ticks me off because there are really no guidelines for that. I know they have mouthpiece attachments that are supposed to open a valve when you use too much pressure, but I'm not dishing out 180 bucks for that :P So if anyone could help me at all it would be great. And by the way, I'm 15 so I was also thinking that it could just be my teeth and gums still growing and playing the trumpet is just messing with it being in such a vulnerable state now.

My girlfriend and I have been going out for about 3 months, and this summer has been one of the most hectic ones for both of us since we are both entering high school. So I have baseball/marching band (marching band being 2 weeks 5-8 every evening, then 8-5 for another 2 weeks) and she has conditioning for volleyball that is in the morning, and all of our leisure plans with our family and friends end up messing with the time we want to spend with each other. Then today she just told me right out of the blue that she isn't sure how it's going and that "...I can't keep committed...just not right now." And I'm really not sure what that's supposed to mean. Although she says we are still dating. So I'm super confused and the only thing I can think of doing is take some control and instead of just waiting for some time for us to spend together to open up, I'll have to just make that time. Any help would be really appreciated!

Hi, I'm 14 years old and I've been playing the trumpet for about 3 years now in my school band. I've done quite well with the pieces that we have been given and I never had much difficulty until I got to the end last years school year and this part of the school year as well. They're pieces that aren't particularly hard at all, it's just when I play with all my heart and soul into a song and I get into it doing all the dynamics and everything I can get tired quite quickly. We are doing Lord Of The Rings now and I can do the opening quite easily it's just that halfway through the piece I get to some high G's and have some difficulty maintaining my tone quality. I've been able to squeak out high C's and just a few notes below those I can hold out for a few beats. I know that If I practice up I have the power, it's just that I need to work up my endurance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I just recently started dating a good friend of mine about 2 weeks ago. We have each other's phone numbers, talk on MSN ALL the time, and hang out at school during lunch, pass notes, and all that stuff, but the only thing is that I'm kinda worried about when we meet up face to face I kinda lock up communication-wise. It's like the only thing I can think of telling her is funny stuff that happened throughout my day so far and some small talk kinda stuff. It kinda seems like she has that same problem too, but she definitely leads a lot of the conversation. I just need help with getting a good strong talk going between us, something that gets us both thinking and engaged in each other for the few minutes that the certain topic lasts. Something more than small talk, but I just don't know how to go about doing that. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There is a girl I like at my school who sometimes says hi to me and when I look at her she makes that whole eye contact flirting smile thing. I asked her friend if she liked me and she said no, but she's that kinda girl who you can tell when she lies, but I'm not totally sure if she was lieing or not, and I don't really wanna ask the girl I like becuse she's really sweet and nice and I don't wanna make things awkward between us. I really don't know what to do, any help would be appreciated.
