I need to do a synthesis starting with anisole and ending with anisyl alcohol. Can I use a grignard with formaldehyde to get the CH2OH para to the OCH3 on the benzene ring? I've only done Grignards as the only substituent. If not could you please explain how to do this synthesis reaction? Thanks!!

We have just started limits in calculus so im not too sure how to explain my question without being vague.

If x is approaching c on a line, and coming from both sides you get close to, lets say 2, but at that point its undefined. Do you say the limit does not exist? or the limit is 2? I cant find any examples in my text or online. The only ones i find are lines that jump or have asymptotes.

First of all, im not the person who hooked up and did all the fancy work to get these games to play...so i have no clue how to go in personally and change settings, or where to look for problems lol.

So here lies my problem.

Hooked up the wii, hooked up the external hard drive. Started playing some games that were loaded onto the hd. Out of about 12 games, only about 8 of them worked. The other ones would just show a black screen, and the wii would freeze. I access these games through USB Loaded GX.

A few days go by, and i notice one by one these games really arent loading. Then one day none of them would load..and so i have no clue what to do.

ive tried googling these answers, but all i get are these technical solutions. I dont feel like thats the problem. No, its not bricked. It just wont load the games anymore. Ive tried plugging it into a different usb port, tried starting/restarting in different combinations, nothing. Are there any solutions anyone can give me? Am i over looking something? And if youre going to be a smart *** or jerk dont bother commenting, thanks :D

I seem to have this reoccuring problem with my body jewelry. The balls always fall off the ends of it and i end up losing my piercing and have to go get it re-done. Even the jewelry put in by the piercer fall out, such as my eyebrow that i have had repierced twice now. Ive tried the kinds where the threads are on the inside, w/my septum ring, and the ball still fell off! Ive tighten and tightened but they seem to come off either in the shower or when im sleeping, sometimes doing nothing and plop! they fall right off. i need some tips please!! im going crazy and broke!

I had my second child feb 15 2008 and in march of that month I got my very 1st depo shot. I had never been on it before so I thought I'd try it. I'd still get my peroids like clockwork (they've always been very consistant and on time) but after 3 months my periods never came back and I also didn't get the next depo shot. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow but I'm afraid its something serious since I've had cysts on my ovaries before and have had abnormal paps. I have cramps every day, I've lost the ability to gain weight, and no sex drive. I'm 25 and 105lbs, I also don't smoke. Has anyone had the same problem??

I just bought my first blackberry and I have no idea how it all works. I was wondering if there was a way to watch videos from youtube. Whenever I try it an error message appears. If its impossible to play them does anyone know where else I could download or watch videos?

I know youre supposed to claim all your tips as a server, which usually i do. What is the percentage of tips the IRS checks on? The reason why im asking is becuase my boss will pull up our sales for the pay period and go into our name and claim more tips if we dont make "a certain amount." All of my paychecks are voided and some even say that i made over $1000!! Does anyone know if this is illegal for her to do? and also when i claim my tips is there a min amount i can claim?

Theres a part in the movie click where adam sandlers character and david hasslehoffs character are talking in spanish during the sexual harassment speach. does anyone know what theyre saying? i tried to figure it out on my own, but i was just curious...i love that movie.

I won a contest through the local radio station for a naughty moms night out and its going to involve drinking. I used to be able to hold my alcohol real well, now i get sick even after a few drinks. I dont smoke tobacco when i drink because i feel thats part of the problem. im wondering if i ate a lot before i drank if that would be easier on my stomach, or if i should eat light and wait to drink? i know the alcohol is absorbed faster on an empty stomach, but i dont want to be puking up chunks of food either. I just want to go out, have fun, get a little tipsy, and be able to sleep with out bed spins and vomit. any suggestions??

Im moving in a couple of days, and i was wondering if ill have problems recieving my stimulus check in the mail? Is there anything i have to do with the IRS to make sure it gets to my new address?

I just got my first depo shot yesterday. I dont plan on getting my second one, im actually going to use Mirena in 12 weeks. Im still concerned, however, of the side effects including weight gain. Are there any noticable side effects that can occur with one use? i know everyone is different so it'll be intresting to see what everyones experiences are.

i had my son feb 12th and i decided to give breastfeeding a shot (gave up w/my first child). I was directly feeding him the breast but once i left the hospital i realized i needed more help so i've been pumping the last few days. I now only pump, and dont offer him the breast. I will be going back to work in a week so the pumping will continue.

My breasts leak a TON and i have lots of milk. i pump before i feed him, which is about every 3 hrs, and in the middle of the night we just use formula. they are so hard and tender still and im wondering if im doing anything wrong? am i pumping too much? will m breasts ever get soft again or do they stay hard? i need some advice!!

This is my second pregnancy, and with my first i had absolutly no braxton hicks, and i actually went 3 weeks over. i know what contractions feel like, and these arent it..but im a little concerned something else may be wrong.

For the past 2 or 3 days ive been having strong cramps, usually after i eat something, and inbetween, usually causing me to have to use the bathroom. It will wake me up in the middle of the night also. Im also feeling a lot of sharp pain and pressure along my cervix. I have headaches and my lower back hurts. I dont have any unusual discharge or bleeding. I just went to the doctor on wednesday (before symptoms) and he said everything was fine, and i wasnt dialated yet. I have another appt this wednesday, but im wondering if i should go to the hospital to make sure nothing serious is going on? maybe i just have stomach bug?

Has anyone else experienced this in their last few weeks of pregnancy??

I cant make up my mind!

Im trying to decide whether i should stay with sprint, or switch to t-mobile. No, im not considering anyone else, so please dont comment about how great everyone else is.

I dont know if sprints free incoming (300 anytime mins/49.99/mo) or T-mobiles faves (300min/39.99/mo) is better?? I only have a few ppl i really talk to on a daily basis, and dont make a whole lot of outgoing calls to anyone but them...which is why i was considering t-mobile. on the other hand, i hear sprint is better coverage wise, and as long as i tell ppl to call me back (if i called them) i wont be charged for mins. any advice/personal experiences will help me a lot!! I dont have a cheapy phone - im either getting a new katana or razr (sprint), and i already have a razr for t-mobile. I also live in MI if that helps.

THANKS :D

My ex is still living with me and has adopted a pitbull puppy (about 5 or 6 months old). This dog will NOT stop whinning. I can understand when hes in his crate, but he will be tied up for a moment when we have to walk out of the house (to do laundry, go to the car, outside, etc) and will not only whimper or whine, but will yelp like someone is beating it. I am 36 weeks pregnant and not only am i seriously annoyed, tired and fed up with it, but i also have a 2 year old who cant get to sleep either. I dont know how much longer we will be living together, but is there anyway i can train the dog, or things i can do to get it to calm down and listen to me?? Its bad enough that im not going to get any sleep with the newborn, it'll be almost impossible when this dog wont shut up!!

Im also worried someone's going to call and complain.

I recieved one of those booklets in the mail that says ive won a free vacation on a cruise ship, or other destinations such as disney and vegasa. On the back it says "adv. mat'l used for soliciting sales of vacation ownership plans." Im assuming you have to attend a timeshare seminar.

Has anyone actually followed through with one of these offers?

Id love to go on the "free" vacation, even if i have to partcipate in the timeshare seminar. I just have a hard time believing they'd give you the free vacation eventhough you're going to say no to the timeshare.

I got my belly button pierced when i was 18 and had problems with it, so i took it out. It didnt leave a scar until i got pregnant and then i had a small brown spot where the piercing was. SO i got it re-pierced through the scar to hide it....

Had no problems this time, except that i got pregnant again, took the piercing out at 5 months, now im 35 weeks and the scar is HUGE, hard, and nasty.

Has this happened to anyone else? and if so, any success with OTC treatments? Is it going to be impossible to pierce through now that i have double the scar tissue??

Its so bad i dont even want to get my maternity pictures done :(

For the past three years Ive been going to an H&R block office and having my taxes filed. I used to do it online, but back when i did it online i didnt have any dependents.

This year I would like to maximize my return. Id like to do this by not paying as much to have my taxes done and at the same time i still want to make sure that im claiming everything i can to get the most money back.

Should i use an online service (if so which is best), or is it safer to have them done with an accountant again?

Im 23, single, I have one child, and I claim 0 on my paychecks so I dont have to worry about paying out. I rent, pay general utilities..not sure what other info would be helpful?

Yesterday when i got into my car (1991 Buick Park Ave), i heard a "pssssssss" air sound, almost like air was coming out of my tire. it was more in the back of the car, and only lasted maybe 3 -5 seconds. i checked and the tires were fine so i drove off. within a matter of minutes my brake light came on and i had to jam down on the brakes to slow down/stop the car. i popped the hood and there was no brake fluid in the car, so i put a whole bottle in. the brake light went off but came back on ten mins later with the same problems. We had a new master cylinder put in a couple months ago, and had the lines bled before that. there are also new brake pads on the vehicle.

what else could be wrong with the car? and appr. how much would it cost to fix? i cant take it in anywhere till after xmas so im curious as to what to expect.

thanks!
