what's the name of this drum intro?
I've been searching for an hour and I can't find it anywhere. I assume its from an orchestra and i want to think it was on the original King Kong film. Please don't criticize me too badly now... but it went like this BUM... BUM... BUM.... BUM... BUM... BUM...BUM... BUM by the beat of African sounding drums. It think it's used on intro music and that's what I want it for. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
1 AnswerClassical8 years agoHeart problem or anxiety attack?
On Friday night, I was at home and I ate a pot brownie. I started watching Dredd 3D and it was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. About 30 minutes into it my breathing felt like I was not getting much air when I took a breath. I starting feeling really dizzy and I was as pale as a ghost. My chest was feeling slight pain. I put my hand on my heart and I could feel it beating like a rabbit. I wanted to go to the hospital, but I drank some water and kept working on my breathing and walked around. After about 10-15 I was better. I've never been so scared in my life and it sounds like an anxiety attack. I'm 35 and I'm pretty healthy. I exercise 4 times a week and ride a bike everywhere. I did smoke for about 10 years and I used marijuana since I was in my 20's. The brownies are in the garbage now and I don't plan on using marijuana anymore. Does anyone have any ideas what could of happened to me?
2 AnswersHeart Diseases8 years agoI caught her planning on dating another guy?
The other day I was logging into my email account and I had an option to log in using her information. It was saved in my computer from 3 weeks ago when she was at my house. I did and I witnessed a chain of emails between her and some other guy planning on meeting up for dinner. I was completely broken so I erased her from any contact and wrote her a message telling her what I found I hope they are happy. Later she sent me a long emailing saying how sorry she was that she hurt me. Her reason for doing so was I don't romance her enough in our long distance relationship. She lives in Costa Rica and I'm here in the US, we see each other for about 30 days a year, message every day and skype 1-2 times a week. She told me I'm more of friend than a boyfriend. A few months ago she wanted to break up because she feels we're too distant and we talked it out with a resolution to have her live here after she graduates this dec. Things seemed better but she generally wasn't happy I could see it over time. I would tell her I loved her but not enough and that hurt her. I understand her being upset but she knew how much I loved her and she still went out looking for another guy instead of just breaking it off. She told me that she wanted to see if someone else would make her feel happier. I'm lost as to try to work things out with her or loose the only person I've ever loved?
1 AnswerSingles & Dating9 years agoNovice wanting to start playing the stock market?
I've been following the stock market closely for 2 weeks and I"m quite interested in learning more about it. I found a good website called wallstreetsurvivor.com that is a simulation of the stock market with fake money as a good practice. I'm looking for a website that works like fantasy football where I can be in a group with friends and we monitor each others stock choices with fake money. I would prefer that the site also has an app for my phone. If anyone knows of anything like this or other possible ways of enhancing knowledge of the stock market please let me know. Thanks

1 AnswerDo It Yourself (DIY)10 years agoDog has hip/joint issues and they aren't getting better?
My German Shepherd (Samson) is getting close to 4 years old and when he was a pup he was diagnosed with bi-lateral hip dysplasia. I had a ostectomy on his back left hip when he under 1. About 6 months ago I noticed all of his joints make cracking noises when he walks around after laying down. Now I'm seeing him having to lay down more and more after exercise. I asked the vet what I can do and they suggested giving him gluecoseomine and chrondritoin pills and watching his diet. I've been doing that for about 6 months along with giving him dog food that helps with joints. I've had four dogs in my life and all of them lived to be old. I can't seem to get an accurate answer on how long he has before he can't stand. I really doubt he has more than a year or two before he can't stand on his own. I'm curious if anyone can tell me if they've had a similar situation and what they did? Thanks

7 AnswersDogs1 decade agoGarmin Nuvi 255W GPS - map install?
Hi there, I'm going to Costa Rica on Monday and I want to bring my GPS with me. I recently updated my Garmin mapsource and then I got a map of Costa Rica to show up under Tools, Settings, Map, Map Info - I can see it there with a check next to it with the North American map as well. But when I attempt to enter an address and modify the country and type the letter C it only gives me Canada as option.
Basically I have the map on my garmin, but I'm not able to enter an address in for CR. I'm stuck within North America, Virgin Islands, Canada.
2 AnswersOther - Electronics1 decade agoEmployee "On Call" question?
I work 24/7 tech support in MN and we have an odd schedule, but we are also on salary.One day a week we work from 7:00 am - 3:30 PM. Then, we work from 7pm - 7 am at home. We're at home, so it's considered "On Call", but we're still doing the same thing as what we do in the office which is taking incoming calls. I would say after Midnight it calms down and there is usually one call from Midnight -7:00 am due to a charge during the hours. Next day we start work again at 10:00 AM. We are getting 15 min/per hour toward our 40 hours per week when on call. My question is it legal to have employees work all night then come back to work 3 hours after this shift is over? Or since i'm on salary they can make us work as many hours as they want? I have a feeling it's the second one.
6 AnswersLaw & Legal1 decade agoMy 3 year old dog's joints are cracking when he moves?
I live in MN and it just started getting cold outside and I haven't noticed it until now, but most of my dog's legs crack when he walks. Similar sounding to when I crack my knuckles. Usually he has a collar on with a few tags that jingle around when he walks, so it blurs out most noises his body makes, but I had it off recently and I could definitely here them cracking. I've been monitoring it for 3 days and it hasn't gotten better. One leg cracks almost every step for a few minutes after he gets up from laying down and the other do less seldom. He doesn't seem to be in any pain and I haven't ever heard him whine or licking a leg/paw at all. I've read up on this and it sounds like he has cartilage damage that won't go away without surgery. I plan on bringing him to the vet on Saturday, but I'm kind of nervous of what to expect and I'm hoping someone can give me a brief example of what happens from here. He's going to start a diet dog food and I started giving him 1000mg Glucoseamine tablets once a day.

4 AnswersDogs1 decade agoMexico's drug war is the United states fault?
I'm sick of hearing that this is America's fault. I understand the US gets a lot of drugs from Mexico, but we also get them from other countries and it seems that the other countries don't have the same problems that Mexico has. For example most of the marijuana comes from Canada, but we don't see them having wars in the street during broad daylight. Granted other countries like Columbia have had drug wars, but I don't remember the level of violence being as strong as it is now. Why is it so bad there versus the other places?
10 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoSan Diego, CA housing - Time to buy in April 2010?
I know the $8000.00 credit expires after the end of april and housing is extremely cheap in CA compared to what it used to be, but my question to you is, with such a high unemployment rate in CA that just mean more foreclosures which could mean a 200,000 home in CA worth is worth 150,000 in 6 months to a year, so that credit is meaningless unless you find a steal of a deal?
Until the unemployment corrects itself in CA the housing prices will continue to decline? I really want to buy in CA, but I am wondering if the costs will drop even more dramatically in that state due to the low employment.
4 AnswersRenting & Real Estate1 decade agoMy German Shepherd and roommates beagle?
I have a 2year old gsd and my roommate who moved in 2 months ago has a 1 year old beagle. The two dogs are best of friends. When they play they are gentle but my shepherd will usually pick up an object like a ball or squeeky toy and chase the beagle with it. Then he continues to get it with in her face as much as possible when he catches her. The whole time they wrestle he tries to hold the object in his mouth and continue to shove her around with it.
I've seen dogs take a ball and get chased and she tries to chase him sometimes, but he always wants to have the object and chase her with it. Is this just a dominance thing where he's trying to show her who the champ is a much as possible?
3 AnswersDogs1 decade agoAre there any NFL players who speak against Micheal Vick?
I just saw a video where Peyton Manning was cheering for Michael Vick this season. Personally, I hate Ron Mexico/Michael Vick and welcome the day when a Peta nut does something extreme to him.
I do understand people defending him though. They aren't dog lovers and they don't see another living being the same way as I.
I figure there would be one person in the NFL though that wouldn't be happy with him. I've searched all over and can only find NFL players who support him. Not that the NFL is made of Choir Boys but I figure someone has to disagree with him publicly.
7 AnswersFootball (American)1 decade agoPublicity Stunt for a Comic?
Hello there, I am in the process of making an online comic about Zombies and there is a "Zombie Pub Crawl" coming up in my city soon. Expecting at least 1200 people to show up. I figure this is the best audience to market my zombie comic. It's going to be free to view it. I just want people to see it you know?
Now for the fun part. I want to stage an event where I'm an average joe checking out the zombie pub crawl and going up to a group of zombies and ask them what's going on and suddenly have a zombie/friend of mine come up behind me and take a chunk of flesh from my neck (special effects) then I transform to a zombie and get another friend who's under cover and he does the same thing to a few other undercover friends. Make it look like the zombie infection is spreading fast. I plan to have about 10 plus people in on it while it being filmed. I'm thinking this could get some attention because there will be at least 1000 plus people in a small park prior to the event.
I would like to hear if you think this is a good publicity stunt or if you have some other suggestions I'd love to hear about those as well. Thanks in advance!!!
2 AnswersComics & Animation1 decade agoFungus Gnats Vs Yellow CF Light bulb?
I have some indoor plants and I just noticed my Fungus Gnat infestation about a week ago and it seems every day i've been loosing the battle. I'm pretty sure I caused this by using peat moss and then they rotted spawning my gnats. I tried Hydrogen Peroxide 1 to 4 water and seemed to slow them down but I need to get the adults. I have 2 sided tape and soapy water set up but I have a Light Bulb that repels insects... Will that kill gnats does anyone know? Or anyone have a better route for killing these bastards?
1 AnswerOther - Home & Garden1 decade agoCompost pile for leaves?
Let it be known i'm a complete newbie to gardening/lawn care. I wanted to level out my yard a bit so I dug up a pit 2 feet deep 6 foot radius... I then filled it with leaves and dead grass I got from thatching my yard. I put dirt over it and didn't pack it to tight thinking the leaves will decompose faster. My question is will the leaves even decompose and if and when they do will I have a sunken spot in my yard or will the leaves turn to dirt? The dirt that I dug up was used in the low spots so it looks pretty balanced now. I would like to know a way to keep it like that without having to bring in new dirt?

8 AnswersWeddings1 decade agoWhy do so many in the middle east hate America?
To this day I still don't know what reason Al Qaeda had for the 9/11 attacks. I'm sure having our military bases in some of their countries makes them upset, along with us supporting Israel, but what I don't understand is us allowing them into our county and they get the same rights as I do and they still hate us. If they want to practice their religion they are free to do so. If they are in need of food/water/shelter we provide it. Don't they see this as a good thing? I mean Hamas shoots their own people for dancing at weddings, Iran stones women to death for accusing a man of rape. They make beheading videos while they praise Allah. Palestine people jumped up and down in the streets like crazed animals when they heard the news of 9/11. Islamic law kills more innocent people in my eyes than the damage we've done in the BS war in Iraq. How come the people aren't cursing out their zealot leaders instead of the West?

- 14,000 car
- savings 2,000
- checking 2,000
- i'm also 31, single
so am I in the poverty lvl? I feel I do quite well and get by real easy this way. I can't imagine someone who has almost 5 times as much as me thinking they are middle class.

4 AnswersPersonal Finance1 decade agoToro 3521 snow blower - not starting?
I was able to start it yesterday and it ran for about 5 min then it turned off by itself. I got it going again for 1 min then it shut itself off.
Now, I try to pull start it and the pull start doesn't even pull. When I use the electric start it attempts to start it but the engine doesn't even kick at all. It just makes this annoying noise like the electric starter is working but the engine isn't popping at all. I tested the spark plug and it does work. I'm wondering if the engine is shot and is it worth even bringing it in to a repair place if they are just going to tell me that it's a dead engine?
I'm worthless with engines and any help would greatly be appreciated!
Thanks
