  • Can someone tell me the song and artist by a video description?

    I remember this dubstep artist from the early to mid 2010's and I had a few of their songs on a CD.  I've been trying to look up the band and the songs but can't remember their names or the artist.  However, I remember the video for one of their songs, these kids were running through this city and planting bombs and when the bombs would explode trees would sprout and they were being chased by flying robots.  A girl pulled out a gun and shot at them and there were some big robots.  The end of the video, a girl and guy hugged and let a tree bomb go off while holding it.  I know it's a long shot but can anyone tell me the name of the song or even just the artist by this description?

  • Are my cats fighting or playing?

    I have a cat who I have had for over a year and is around a year and a half old. We just adopted a kitten about 2 weeks ago who is 5 weeks old. We kept them separated and slowly introduced them to each other. They are with each other more now. I do notice the older cat pinning the younger cat and biting her neck. The kitten growls and occasionally hisses but the older cat lets her up and she casually walks away and stays in the same area, sometimes jumping into the cat tree 2 feet away or staying in the cat tree at the bottom. I can t tell if the kitten is hiding or not but she doesn t run and bolt from him and I have seen her pounce on his tail a couple times. I just want to make sure this is harmless playing and not fighting. Can any one help answer this for me and even better, if they are fighting some steps to help them have a healthy relationship

  • Should I put money into my guitar?

    So here's the deal. I just put new pickups in my Dean Evo. It's a $300 guitar that I got for $100 and had it refurbished. I put a Seymour Duncan 59 in the neck and a Seymour Duncan Dimebucker in the bridge. Guitar already played well but now it sounds kickass. However I have an Ibanez Gio 7-string that plays ok. I don't use it much but with the stock pickups that are in it, it is unplayable. The sound is so muddy. I am looking at a Seymour Duncan Pegasus. It's a $120 pickup. I want to use the guitar and the Pegasus sounds great in the video I watched. But should I spend the $120 and take the chance that the guitar may be great or might not be or spend out $500+ on a 7-string that I may not use much at all?

  • How do I get a misdemeanor expunged?

    Ok so here is what happened. I plead guilty to a retail theft class a misdemeanor charge 2 years ago this month. My sentence was 6 months court supervision and court costs. I have not been in trouble ever but this one time. In the state of Illinois the law for retail theft is 2 years after your sentencing is complete you can get your crime expunged if its retail theft. I have not been in trouble since this. I had a background check done when I applied for a job. The third party company sent me a copy. It showed the crime and said sentence: Terminated unsatisfactory or unsatisfied I can't remember. I forgot to pay my court fees and got a letter from a collection agency. So here are my questions 1. What does the sentence unsatisfied mean? 2: Can the circuit clerk tell me who I need to pay because I lost the notice? 3: I want to pay my court costs off in February. Will I still be able to get this expunged in May or because I am paying the court costs in February do I have to wait another 2 years after that? 4: How do I go about getting this expunged? Do I need a lawyer or can I do this myself? Please someone help me I am so worried sick about this and am unsure about whats going on. Thank You.

  • How do I get a misdemeanor expunged?

    So here is the story. I messed up 2 years ago and got a misdemeanor (class A) for retail theft. Our state law is 2 years after your sentence is complete you are eligible for an expungement. My punishment was 6 months court supervision and court costs. I am a mechanic by trade but was laid off some time ago and can't find a job. I got my background check back from a company and the misdemeanor showed up. Some where it said the sentence was terminated unsatisfied. So there is my first question. What does that mean. Second I did not get in any trouble since then but I did forget to pay my court costs. I want to take care of this at tax time. My 2 years after sentencing comes this May. If I pay my court costs this February am I still eligible for my expungement in May or since that part of my sentencing wasn't fulfilled do I have to wait another 2 years? Also my court costs were turned over to collections, just found that out this week, could my county clerk tell me who it is I need to get in touch with to handle that? Please anyone if you can help I am so stressed out I can't find a job and need answers. Oh also if anyone can tell me how to get this expunged it would be great. I've never been in trouble before and don't know what I need to do. Do I need to get an attourney or is this something I can do on my own? Thank you.

  • My wife owes money to the government how does this effect my taxes?

    I recently got married on August 10th 20013. My wife owes student loans to the government. The government has been taking her tax return for the past few years. If I claim my wife on my taxes can the government take my tax return? Furthermore due to our marriage can the government take my tax return because of her debt? I do want to pay back the loans but I don't want to have the tax return stripped away. There are things we need to buy before uncle sam gets his due. Can any body help me with this tax conundrum?

  • How much longer til my genital outbreak ends?

    I was diagnosed with genital herpes about a week ago and have had my first outbreak. The outbreak was horrible I was swollen and had huge blisters that popped and seeped and hurt and it hurt to urinate. I am now basically back to normal size and all I have left are a couple of areas where I have a lot of tiny blisters. These areas are still painful especially when I where jeans or my work pants (I work as an automotive technician.) I've already missed 2 days of work I can't miss anymore. Can anyone tell me how long it might take for these tiny blisters to go away? Is there anything I can do to speed up the process? Anything I can do to help my pants rubbing these spots to not hurt as much? Please someone help.

  • Severe Genital Herpes outbreak. What should I do?

    I went to the E.R. yesterday thinking I had an abscess on my penis and was diagnosed with genital herpes. Last night my penis was slightly swollen and mildly hurt. When I got home the pain ramped up and today at work every step I took was torture. He prescribed an anti-viral and a cream for the pain and sores. I could not get the cream because even with insurance it was $600. So here is my concern my penis is not big and I was circumcised poorly as a baby so my foreskin has swollen around the head of my penis. I have to pee sitting down and can't pull my foreskin back so I am having to pee through my foreskin and some of the pee stays behind in the swollen crevice where the sores are and seeps out slowly. I was told that 99% of urine is sterile and that the first outbreak is always the worst. So finally here are my questions......with swelling this bad should I go back to the ER? (I have to wait 30 more days for my insurance to kick in at work til I can see a doctor) Will me peeing through the foreskin cause infection? Is there anything I can do to reduce the swelling? Anything to reduce the pain? Would Tramadol help with the pain? Please someone help me. My wife is very supportive and the ER doctor seems to think that I did not pick this up through sexual contact but coming into contact with someone who had herpes and touched them selves and I touched what they touched ans so forth due to the fact I've been faithful to my wife for 7 years and she is negative. Please any advice will help.

  • Guinea pig dominance?

    Me and my wife have a guinea pig named Bella. We have had her for about a year and a half. We had read online that Guinea Pigs are usually happier in pairs or groups. So we went out and bought another Guinea Pig. Bella is a huge Guinea pig about 10 to 12 inches and probably a couple pounds. Our new Guinea Pig, Buttercup, is a small female only 3 to 4 months old about 4 to 5 inches long and maybe a 1/4 of a pound. The lady at Petco warned us about dominance issues. We had bad issues the first night. Bella stood on the food dish and Buttercup hid in the corner. When Buttercup came came out Bella freaked out and jumped on the food Buttercup ran back into the corner. After a day the food dominance stopped. Now comes my question there is some behavior I know a little about and some I know nothing about. First Bella will rumble at Buttercup. I know this is dominance behavior but will it harm Buttercup in any way? Bella will sniff Buttercups behind excessively and nudge her behind. Is this dominance behavior or is this normal? Bella and Buttercup will lay together but it always seems like they lay in the corner and Bella is in front of Buttercup, Buttercup being in the corner. Is this Bella showing dominance or her being a big sister? We had Bella and Buttercup both out on the couch and we hand fed Bella and Buttercup both some timothy hay. Bella ate hers but Buttercup didn't seem to want to eat hers while Bella was with her and Bella kept getting close and rumbling. Will this keep Buttercup from eating? I know these are alot of questions but I just want to do the best I can for my pets. Can any one answer these questions for me? Also can anyone tell me if this behavior will harm our new Guinea Pig? Will this behavior stop or diminish? If so how long will it take? (we have only had our Guinea pigs for 2 days lol) Is this behavior normal? Is it severe or light? Should we return the new Guinea pig? (also we bought a new cage and used new bedding) Please someone help.

  • Does anybody know what the symbol on these are from?

    I've asked this question once before and got one answer and it was sorry I don't know. I got 2 blue and 2 green dice with this logo on it in a pound-o-dice I ordered from Chessex. No one I know can tell me what this symbol is from. I just really want to know. The link I am posting is to an actual ebay page where someone is selling pairs of green dice for $2.00. It's not a gimmick if you click on the link. Please someone help me answer this I've been wondering for 2 years.
