I am 5' 10", 175 ish pounds, with a decently muscular build. I've never had a chiseled six pack and so that has become one of my goals before heading back to school. As I am rite now, I am not fat at all with flat abs, problem seems to be that all my fat is concentrated around my abs.

I guess question is how do I get those abs chiseled?

So far what I am starting to do is run about 5 miles every day in the morning, then in the evening lifting weights (more to maintain strength, I don't want to lose much muscle cutting down), and eating a lot healthier and less to go with it. Does this sound reasonable or does any one out there have a better workout routine for this?

Thanks in advance.

Long story short, my girlfriend of like two months broke up with me like 3 weeks ago. We recently started hanging out again and its been good. I still want her back, and ultimately cannot accept being just friends. What should I do?

Like she invited me to go the movies with her. I said sure. Should I like attempt to kiss her, should I talk about us before attempting anything like that, etc. How should I go about trying to get her back?

Thanks in advance.

So I sold an item on Ebay. Buyer, however, does not want to pay because she erroneously bought the wrong game. That's fine. I figure I'll just relist it. However, does ebay still charge me the Final Value Fee or do I have to make a claim in order for it to be waived?

So my Call of Duty 4 for XBox 360 is scratched to the point where the system won't read it anymore. Would it be possible to borrow a friend's game disc, install that to the hard drive, and then be able to play COD4 using my disc again?

So I just started Ebaying recently. I have sold like 9 used video games. 8 of the transactions went just fine. However, one person has not received their item and is opening a dispute for non delivery.

I have my receipt indicating that I shipped it and e-mailed a copy of it to the person complaining, but I do not have any tracking confirmation. Will I be fine if the buyer escalates it?

It's only 12 dollars so in the worst case scenario, I lose 12 dollars, but still.

Aside from a few compatibility issues here and there, my Vista lap top has been working great for the past 4 months or so. However, all of sudden since last week, my computer has been freezing every once in while. For example, I will be using my computer and 10 mins later it will completely freeze for like a minute and then resume normally. My computer works fine for about the first hour after turning it on, but after a while it will begin to freeze irregularly here and there. Also, the laptop gets very hot. I really do not think it is a virus. Is it possible that something is wrong with the cooling fan or the internal hardware itself?

I am just wondering how exactly race figures into a college admission process. On the college apps, there is an additional information section that asks for ur ethnicity if you would like to be identified as such. My question is whether or not it realistically improves your chances of being accepted if ur black or hispanic for instance. If so, how much of a boost does it give or how so would it help?

I am applying to U Penn this year. On their application, there is a short answer section (about 200 words) asking me to "name a Penn professor with whom you would like to study or conduct research and explain why." Problem is I do not know any Penn professors. I have tried looking on the UPenn website for professor names, but I got nothing. I tried wikipedia and found some but the information about them is very limited. Does anyone know where I can find names of notable profs at Penn or , better yet, the names of some good profs as is (preferably from the Wharton School of Business since that's where I am applying)?

Ok, so I am filling out the common application. For the writing part of the app, I have to write a short essay which I have done. However, after the essay, it has an optional section where you can "include any additional information that you would like to provide." It doesn't state a minimum nor maximum amount of stuff you can write on it.

1) Is it reasonable to write a ton of additional info on it (2 pages persay) or would it look bad, even if it is good info?

2) What kind of information should I include in that section that would help the college admissions people know me better or help my chances of getting in? (right now, all I have in that section is all the community service I have done since none of the essays really ask about it)

3) Is it wise to try to explain any deficiencies in my application on this section or would it sound like I am just making excuses? (ei. I got 2 B's in high school).

I am of Mexican/El Salvadorian ethnicity. Don't know how much that'll help.

Took Programming Methodology and Moral Philosophy Courses at Stanford Summer College. Aced them both for 8 units.

I don't hold any positions within a club like president or anything, I don't have any work experience, and I really haven't done extraordinary like win a state championship. I am a pretty decent athlete, but I am not particulary amazing. I am just wondering whether I should bother pay the 65$ app fee and go through all the paperwork to apply.

My desktop computer at home is connected to my ATT DSL modem/router combo. That comp can use internet just fine. However, I recently purchased a Vista laptop, but it won't connect to the internet even though my router works. The laptop says it has excellent signal strength, that its connected to the internet in the network settings, but whenever I try to actually use the internet it says its not connected. I know its not the router because my desktop and my PSP both connect to the internet just fine. I've checked my firewall settings and thats not the problem either.

theres this girl i honestly and sincerely love. I told her the wrong thing though. I said "that ive dated chicks better looking, but that ur the only one i ever really loved cuz i fell for ur personality". She got extremely offended by the better looking part and now she wont have anything to do with me. How can i change her mind? I really like her, and would do anything for her. I am a ****** moron and didnt mean to make it sound like that. Even if she wont ever like me again, what can i at least do to make her forgive me?

I am using DVD Decrypter. I have one large .VOB file for the entire movie, and one .IFO file for the entire movie. How can I turn these two files into a DVD-Compliant disk, even though I do not have the .BUP file?
