Since installing Utorrent, every time I open Google Chrome, I get four tabs opened - my home page (which is Google) and three other search engines, including Yahoo. Used to I could leave a few tabs open, then if I shut down my Mac, they would come back when I opened up Chrome again. Now whenever I open Chrome, I lose all my open tabs after shutting down, and those three search tabs appear. I'm getting really frustrated, and I've searched for solutions and I see that there is a program called Conduit that added this on. I've looked throughout my entire computer, and I can't find this program. Apparently there was a box to check whether or not we wanted this search software installed or not, but I never saw any of this.

Is it hopeless to keep trying to get this program off my computer, or is there a way to fix this? I know the best answer would be "well you never should have downloaded this in the first place!!!" I realize that, it was a mistake, and now I wish I never did. I've already uninstalled Utorrent, but nothing has changed - the search tabs are still appearing, and my old tabs are still getting lost. It's really bothering me, so does anyone know what I should try next?

This has happened to me 3 times already, just while sewing this one piece on. I'm making a jacket and this a flap in the front. I attached a picture to show what I mean, but the bobbin thread keeps getting bunched up and cut. You can see how every strand has been cut. All I did was sew forward, backward, and forward again (I was patching up over a thread that had been cut).

It's a Singer 2932 machine. I've had a few problems with it before, but I've always been able to fix them. What should I be doing so this doesn't happen?

(here's the photo of what's happening when I sew)

Such are the mysteries of life...

I'm playing the Gamecube version on the Wii, not the 3DS version. I've been following a walkthrough to complete the game. I must have missed the section on learning Epona's song while Link was a child, because now I'm at the point where Link is grown up and gets Epona. I've tried approaching Malon and playing the Ocarina in front of her, but nothing's working. I found what the notes are supposed to be, but even when I play them it's not saying that I learned it. I payed my 10 rupees to ride a horse, but every time I approach Epona she runs away. I've tried playing the notes anyway, even though I technically haven't learned the song. Again, nothing is happening.

Did I completely screw up the game by not learning Epona's song before Link became an adult? How can I fix it without restarting my game?

I'm definitely going to miss it, it's one of my favorite shows. Yes, it isn't as good as it used to be, but I'm still a fan and I never thought they were going to cancel it anytime soon.

My art teacher lets us listen to her iPod while we work, and she has a lot of Beastie Boys music. I know they've been around since the 80's, but I've never really listened to them before. Some it is pretty cool! They're one of my teacher's favorite bands.

I'm just wondering what everyone thinks. :)

There are basically two schools of thought.

My great aunt & great uncle sent me a birthday card last week. I'm sending thank-you cards to my relatives that sent cards, and I want to send one to them. However, I've got a big problem now... Their card was postmarked on October 9th, and I got it on October 11th. Both my aunt and uncle had signed the card. However, my uncle died on October 12th (which was my birthday). Now that I am sending thank-you cards, I don't know whether I should include his name on the envelope and in the card. Even though she knew he was going to die soon, she is still pretty upset that he's gone. I don't want to send her a card with his name on it and make her feel even sadder. However, I don't want to seem disrespectful by not adding his name, even though he was family and had his name on my birthday card.

They need to be sent out soon, so therefore, I really need this answered soon! Thanks!

I got a request on Facebook that says, "____ said you attended (insert school here) together". It's wanting me to put a year. I no longer go to that school, so would I put the year I went there, or the year that we will graduate?

All my life I have wanted to be a cheerleader. I've never been encouraged to do anything of that sort, and I'd be the 1st cheerleader in my family. (my sister thinks it's stupid, my dad laughed at me when I brought it up to him, and my mom wants me to join Marching Band.) I am a sophomore in high school and I think I want to finally try it! I would have started in football season, but I had foot surgery and couldn't, so I'd like to do basketball season. I am somewhat flexible, mainly because I used to be in color guard, and I would work as hard as possible to catch up with the others. I'm fine with making JV, since that's team most new cheerleaders are on.

However, I'm also thinking about getting a job. I'll be 16 in less than a month, and I have some places in mind of where I can apply. My mom has been laid off for 1 1/2 years, and she can't file for any more unemployment extensions. Since money is been tight, I'd use my paychecks for spending money, as well as saving for college. I help produce the school musical, which takes a lot of time, so I can only do one or the other. My dad thinks I should get a job, since he started working when he was 14 and like I said above, would not approve of me doing cheerleading. My mom would rather have me do some sort of activity rather than get a job because she thinks my grades will drop if I start working. And who knows, I could apply at 20 places and not get a single job, so I don't want to get my hopes up and have it all be for nothing.

Any advice would be GREAT! I'm having a hard time deciding which I should do. Thanks! :D

Today I got some spaghetti sauce on the zipper of a purse. Some of the sauce appears to have gotten inside some of the zipper's teeth. It's not a big stain, but it's noticeable, and it's been annoying me all day! How can I get the sauce out of the zipper so it's clean again?

Thanks! :)

In my English class, we had to choose a poem and analyze it. I chose "Ducks" by Frank W. Harvey. (Here is a link...)

http://oldpoetry.com/oprint/6390

There are some lines in the poem that I don't understand. I asked my teacher, but she didn't know either.

1. "...Or finding curious things

To eat in various mucks

Beneath the pool,"

What is a muck?

2. "And warm beneath

Are eggs of cloudy green

Whence hungry rats and lean

Would stealthily suck

New life, but for the mien

The hold ferocious mien

Of the mother-duck."

First of all, what is a "mien"? And what do the last 3 lines mean?

3. "And then they quack

By barn and stable and stack..."

What is a stack?

Thanks so much to anyone that can help!! :)

I just got a new pair of Sperry Top-Sider shoes yesterday. However, the dye from my jeans rubbed onto the tops and the back of them, and now parts of them (on both shoes) are blue! How can I get it off?

If you had $200 to spend, would you rather use it to buy a pair of Ugg Boots or a Tiffany necklace?

I'm trying to choose between the two, but I don't know what. :)

I'm just a student, not a professional artist. I've seen these pencils at Michaels and I can't really tell a difference between them. I'm sure there is, so can someone tell me what it is?

Thanks! :)

I have "The Sims 2" and I want to buy the "Best of Business" expansion pack. It comes with "Open for Business", "H&M Fashion Stuff", and "Kitchen and Bath Interior Design Stuff". However, I only want the "H&M" and the "Kitchen and Bath" stuff packs. I already have the "Open for Business" expansion pack. I'm pretty sure it's all loaded on 1 disk. I'm afraid that if I buy it, it'll load the 2 stuff packs, but mess up my "Open for Business" information (or worse, the entire game itself...)

If I buy it, is there a way that I can load only the 2 stuff packs and not "Open for Business"? Should I uninstall "Open for Business" and then install all 3 games onto my computer?

Ok... my absolute FAVORITE animal is a duck... so with Halloween coming up next month, I thought that i'd be a duck! Except, I have no idea where I can buy a duck costume (the only ones I've seen are what a school mascot would wear, and they're like $1,500) Can someone tell me where I can buy a duck costume? I would make one, but i'd prefer not to.

Thanks! (Quack!) :D
