I am planning on cosplaying Nico Minoru and I've been looking at her outfits. How would you describe the fitted looking cloak/jacket she's wearing in the following pictures if you needed to find a similar pattern to it? A typical cloak pattern is too loose and flow-y.

I need to buy a new laptop and would appreciate recommendations. I need something with good memory (lots of storage for iTunes, Word docs, and gaming-Sims specifically-somewhere between 6 and 8 gigs). My price point is around $425 and lower. I need something that will last me a few years.

Help is appreciated! Thanks!

I'm looking for a website that has free leotard patterns for women (preferably one that includes a turtleneck or full back pattern, but I'm not picky at this point). It's for a cosplay I'm working on. Thanks in advance!

MTI's website is infuriating and really nondescript about this

So windows asked me if I wanted to search the web or manually pick a program to open my torrents with. I goofed and accidentally hit Windows Photo viewer, now every time I try to click one on, it brings me there and says the file is incorrect (in other words I can't read them). Is there a way to change this back?

A show (musical) runs for 4 nights. Approx. how much would it cost to run the lighting. If it helps our hypothetical show is hairspray (...this is for a publicity project for district competition. I'm supposed to have a rough budget and I'm completely stumped on the cost of lighting).

What are the royalties for hairspray? The only sources I can find are dated (questions asked before the play was made available for amateur theater to perform).

Thanks!

Would you say that the risk of a virus is high?

I ride English Hunter/Jumper and tend to wear out my boots in under six months. I want a pair that will last (and can put up with 4-7 days of doing barn work as well as riding-plus be to cleaned up well enough to pass at a schooling show every once in a blue moon), but don't really have that big a budget (preferably not over $100). I've been looking at the boots Dover has (have a gift certificate still from xmas) but still not 100%. Ariats are nice, but generally not in my budget. Can any of you guys make a suggestion?

I heard it on my local hits station a while ago but can't remember the title. The whole song was about a guy who's been all over the world but can't find anyone he likes better than this one girl. It had an interesting sound to it. I believe one part of the lyrics go like this (maybe a little off): You can be Wonder Woman call me mister fantastic Stop! Let you think about it. Been to London been to Paris can't stop thinking of ya. Been to Georgia California...

....or do you have no idea what that is?

And who's your favorite personality? Linkara? Nostalgia Chick? Nostalgia Critic? Ask that guy? Spoony? Etc. And your favorite review/movie they've done.

....look I know this question is pointless, I'm bored alright!

Example: "Easy History Question. Ten Points?"

...what's the most creative way anyone has ever made you lose the game, or are you not cool enough to know what 'The Game' is?

Best way to kill a sim quickly. Starving takes a few days, I don't feel like waiting for the TV to break, and I heard Sims are now smart enough not to use ladders. Suggestions?

Or what makes a bad teacher. The qualities you think a teacher should have in order to get their students to learn and/or have fun

No, not necessarily the worst...just the most irrelevant

I live in the state of Florida where students are forced to take the FCAT Writes. This is a writing exam based around writing a five paragraph essay to a predetermined prompt. Also our county makes us take a yearly exam in the style of the FCAT So far I've gotten the worst prompts imaginable.

"Write about a special ride you've been on" (and I was in 4th grade so I couldn't understand the unintental hilarity)

"Write about your favorite form of transportation"

"Write to explain why health food is good"

And just today "The state is thinking of taking away internet access in school libraries. Chose a postition and write to convince."

Can you top these? The worst writing prompt you've ever gotten.
