Hi. Today I saw this insect-like creature on my bed, unlike any bug I've ever seen before. I'm thinking it's some kind of parasite...? Anyway, it's about 2 millimeters long and one millimeter broad (excluding the legs). The legs are really short, but it has these claws/horns that are at least as long as it's body (and they really look like they're made for biting into skin). The first thing that struck me when I saw it was whether it was possible for a lobster to be that small, cause that's what it looked like in shape and form (or maybe like a crab). Anyway, I hope you guys can help me, cause this thing is freaking me out a little bit... ^^;

P.s. It's not lice, nor is it a tick. I live in the south of Norway, if geography matters. Thanks

hi. recently my computer shut down while a document was still up, and now that document is showing the signs that you see in the title instead of normal english writing. does anyone know how I can turn the writing back into proper language? It was a 35 pages long document, so it's quite important to me. Thanks

Hi! I'm looking for anime series similar to the ones mentioned in the title. Maybe especially the first one. I'm looking for series that have both an artistic goal (music, circus, acting, writing, etc) and romance, if that makes sense. However, I am less, but also interested, in series similar to Maid Sama, that does not have the artistic focus but has the whole young girl romance theme. Thanks!

Hi. I'm a lost fan, and I was wondering if there is anything similar out there as far as series go? When I say similar, I mean realistic but with some supernatural elements, people trapped together by fate (or circumstance), mysteries, character development etc. I'm not that picky, just say the first thing that comes to mind (and the second and third) and why you think it's similar :) thanks!

I was wondering how professional photographers managed to get good pictures in a place with little light. I know about ISO, but upping the ISO leads to a lot of grain, and I don't see that in professional photographs. Do you get rid of the grain by editing afterwards, by camera function, or something separate device? Thanks

Hi. I was wondering if anyone knew of some good anime movies? I'm not interested in series at this time, and I've already seen pretty much everything by Studio Ghibli. I've also seen The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, 5 Centimeters Per Second, Summer Wars, Tokyo Godfathers and Paprika. I like drama and romance more than action, but feel free to suggest action as well. I'm not fond of creepy/disturbing anime though :) Thanks!

Hi. I'll soon be going to New York and I was wondering if someone who has seen the musicals could tell me which one to go see. The ones I am considering: "Chicago", "Sister Act" and "Wicked". I would like to go to one of these three, but feel fre to tell me if there are any other ones who are really good. Is there anyone who has seen all three and who could tell me which one is the best? :) thanks

Hi! I will soon be visiting New York City and was wondering if anyone could pinpoint me to the unique stores or shops in the city. I love those little odd shops that have dolls, jewelry boxes, and other special beautiful things. Those sort of 'everything you could imagine crammed into one place' kind of shops, if you know what I mean. I also love flea markets, and I would appreciate it if someone could pinpoint me to other specialized stores that would be hard to find in smaller countries/cities, like a Ghibli product store, for example. Or a movie product store, or just anything unique, specialized or odd really :) thanks

Hi. I'm editing a flash animation (now AVI file) in adobe premiere pro. The only thing that irks me is that once the animation was imported into premiere it started shaking in places, or better explained, the movement that used to be fluent is now very noisy and doesn't flow. Does anyone know how to fix this? I was thinking of maybe using a stabilizer, but I don't know if that will work with animation or what program to use (is it possible to do some stabilizing in premiere pro itself?). Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good, and free, program for editing sounds to a finished flash animation. Windows movie maker fell a little sort... ^^; There are several scenes where we have more sounds going on at once, so we need a program where we can put sounds on top of each other. It's also important that it accepts the file.

I'm 19 years old and my hearing is getting worse. I believe this is because I listen to my ipod so much, and I've tried to stop but I love music too much. So I was wondering if anyone knew of ways to improve your hearing, alternative methods are welcome as well :) Thanks

Hi. I will be going to New York in some months and was wondering about the average price of an ipad and a tablet. I live in Norway, and I was hoping that it might be less expensive in New York :)

Hi. I've just started playing minesweeper again and can't remember my record from before and what's good and whats bad etc. So I was wondering if beating an expert game in 191 sec is good? I think my previous record was 166, but i'm not sure... :) What's your record?

Hi. I'm sure this is going to sound stupid, but I was wondering if anyone could point me to the button or menu for choosing the shutter speed on the Nikon D7000 camera. I'm not talking about the general options between self timer, quality, etc (S, CL, CH, Q, etc), but really choosing the shutter speed, like 1/500, for example. Is it possible on this camera? Thanks in advance ! :)

Hi! Looking for fantasy RPG games with some specifics.

1. Age limit = 16 or younger

2. No guns no blood

3. Main focus is on the story not on the fighting (for example: Final Fantasy is great, but often based on fighting and reaching new levels rather than the story itself)

4. Preferably fantasy and not placed in the modern world (though games similar to Beyond Good and Evil is ok, and yes I know that that game contains guns, but it is very mild)

5. The main character must be good (basically do not suggest games where the main objective is to try and shoot down as many people at a Mall as possible, or similar)

6. the game must be original and not based upon a film or series

7. the game must not be online or pay by month game.

Basically, what I'm looking for are games similar to: Beyond Good and Evil, Baten Kaitos, Dreamfall, Myst and similar, where the main focus is on the story or the riddle, not fighting and gaining levels. Games that I also enjoyed but that are not as good (in my opinion) as the ones mentioned above are: Eternal Sonata, Suikoden, Kingdom Hearts (this is as good as the ones above, but I'm looking for something a little more spectacular, don't know how to explain it), Tales of Symphonia, Fire Emblem: Path to Radiance.

Games for Xbox 360, Playstation 2, PC, and Gamebox are all acceptable, and I'm also interested in games for Playstation 3 though I do not have a PS3 yet ;)

Thanks!

I learned this when taking visual arts studies, but I forgot. Is it when you divide the real size of an object by 10 in order for it to fit on paper?

Thanks!

I cannot send the files that I need to send with hotmail, and therefore I went to a site where you could send big files for free, but found the site to be a little fishy, so I did not take the chance. Can anyone tell me a save site/ mail where I can send files that are really big?

Thanks

After I downloaded Avast! yesterday it worked perfectly, but today when I turned on my computer none of my programs would work properly. Word wouldn't work, and the internet, among other programs. They just froze and wouldn't answer. There was no warning or anything so I'm wondering if it was a coincidence that I had just downloaded Avast?

I know the theory about the Shaolin temple being the origin, but I need some other theories as well. I also need to know if there are any books that argue for one theory or another. I really need some good sources (am writing an essay). I would really appreaciate it if you could help me^^
