  • iMovie 09 is taking TOO LONG to publish. Why!?

    I'm publishing a 9 minute movie to YouTube. And everytime I've tried to publish it iMovie says that it's going to take 9 hours to publish. Today it says 5 hours. And I've let it publish ALL day and it says it's like an hour left of publishing.

    This is ridiculous. I have a 1 month old MacBook and it's never taken this long before.

  • How do I get videos I make on Sims 3 off and into iMovie?

    I'm using a Mac (obviously)

    I know I can edit the videos on the Sims3 website but it only allows under 10 minutes and I have a REALLY long video and don't know how to speed up the video to make it fit. I want to cut some parts out too and figure iMovie would be ALOT easier.

    Thank you!

  • How much should I sell my gently/barely used BMX bike for?

    It's a 2007 DK Cincinnati. Stock. I have the tires... I just am not sure where they are (in my car maybe... haha)

    It's got no scratches/dents, just a few cob webs I need to brush off.

    How much for the bike without the tires?

    And how much for the bike with the tires?

  • Radio Storytelling story... I wanna know who made it?

    and what this spacific story was called. It was so touching.

    Broadcasted on 91.5FM in the Chicago area... Northland Story Telling channel or something like that.

    It's a man telling the story. Names in the story were, Morley (wife) Brian... I can't think of the other names...

    But it was a story about a middle aged married couple going on a cruise that Morley's mom gave them tickets too because she didn't feel up to going on. Morley's husband realized that its an old person cruise... Morley gets seasick and spends the whole story in the room. Her husband meets a little old man that is different than all the others. He gets the old man to bunjee jump off the side of the ship, race wheelchairs with the other elders.. and the old man shares lovely stories of his past.

    When Morley and her husband return home a few months later they get a letter from a woman they dont know. In the letter she sais, "You don't know me, but you knew my father. He spoke fondly of you and all the adventures you and he had on one of his little cruise adventures. I thought he would die on one of his cruises, he loved them so much. But after meeting you, he came home. I hadn't spoke to him in years but he moved in. I'm sorry to tell you that he died last week. But he died watch extreme wrestling. You made a profound impact on his life, and I wanted to thank you."

    Can anyone find me the recording of this? please please. I cry everytime I think about this story.

  • What did I just puke!?

    I'm mourning the passing of my 13 year old cousin this week. And I woke up feeling a little sick so I went to the bathroom and ended up puking. What came out what purple or red liquid. And it seemed to taste fruity.... I haven't had anything "juice"-like in a while.

    Today I had... Doritos, Coca Cola, Soup, 2 beers (I'm 21), and 4 Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.

    I'm scared because I've had Kidney failure before that this may be related do to stress. I just hope none of this was blood..

  • Why are laptop chargers on the left side?

    Each and every laptop I look at has the charging port on the left side... Even Apple. I myself have a Dell and a Black Macbook and can't stand for the life of me that they charge on the left side.

    My question is, Why the left?

    And also... Why haven't they made it so you can charge from either side?

    And doesn't it seem more convenient to charge from the right side?

    If it was on the Right side of my laptops then the chargers wouldn't get so bent and give me the fear of shorting.

    Can you see what I'm saying?

    It make no sense to be on the left... Most of the population is Right handed and plugs into an outlet on the right side of the room thusly straining the cord to bend toward the wall and behind the computer... I'm rambling.

    Thanks!

  • How do I get diarrhea out of Chucks?

    I'm so sorry! Haha... My dog is ill and she keeps having messes and she got it all over my 6 year old Chucks. My favorite shoes!!!

    Should I wash them in the washing machine? On what setting? Can I put them in with clothes and detergent? Or does it have to be just water? Dryer or Air Dry?

    They are black canvas on black rubber... So I don't have to worry about stains or bleeding.

    Thank you SO much!

    PLEASE be as specific as possible.

  • My thumb went numb from cutting someones hair... 8 HRS AGO?

    And the feeling hasn't come back. But its not like COMPLETELY lost feeling, when I touch it it feels like its "asleep" but NOT gotten to the "waking up needley" part. You know?

    I'm 20 yrs old, no circulation issues... And my arm that the thumb is on feels alot colder than the other. Like the blood pumping underneath is colder.

    What do I do!?

    Did I kill the nerve?

    Should I go to the ER because I've waited 8 hours and still its not come back. (And its too late now to call and make a docter appointment.

  • Typing a date into Microsoft Excel?

    I go to add more data and it changes the date to ########

    I need to see the date.. I dont know why it insists on hiding it from me.

    And I don't mean like I need to put in todays date, and then consecutive dates after that. I need to put the same date in for a few times, and then the next day a few times like:

    10/7

    10/7

    10/7

    10/8

    10/9

    10/9

  • New Camera's videos wont work in Windows Movie Maker. Please help?

    I just bought a Canon Powershot SD780 IS and the movies shot from that camera don't have any sound or video to them. I used to use a Samsung Digimax S500 (as you can tell I needed a new camera bad haha) and those video's work fine going into Windows Movie Maker. But my new camera will only play them in Quick Time Player. And I don't know how to edit the video so I can publish it to my computer and post it on YouTube.

    Thanks!

  • What digital camera should I buy?

    Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1MP

    Nikon Coolpix S60 10MP (Touch Screen)

    Nikon Coolpix S710 14.5MP

    Here are their links:

    - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001SER48I/sr=1-2...

    - http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-S60-Vibration-Crimson-...

    - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001DNY67Q/sr=1-1...

    I'm leaning on the Nikon Coolpix S710 14.5MP

    beacause I love MegaPixels and right now I'm using a 7.? MP Samsung and hate it... I've had it for a LONG TIME and its time for a new one finally. My parents gave me that hunk of junk for Xmas YEARS and years and yrs ago. I've spent more on batterys for this stupid thing then the camera's value.

    Help me choose thanks!

    The prices don't matter to me.

    If you have any to suggest.. Let me know :]

  • Can I still sue the hospital?

    I got very ill in October 2007 and went to the hospital and told them I don't feel good but they sent me home and the next day I didn't wake up from sleep. I woke up 28 hours later and my mother was rushing me to the hospital. I passed out in the ER waiting room. It took them 9 hours to find out that both my kidneys were failing and dying... But they were too preoccupied with asking me AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN if I do drugs.. Which I don't. And my mom finally btched out the doctor and they stopped asking and found out it was my kidneys failing. The doctor said, "If you had come in an hour later.. you would not be alive" OH IS THAT RIGHT? WASNT I IN HERE THE DAY B4? SAYING SOMETHING IS WRONG AND YOU IGNORED ME!?

    So I get a room finally, admitted. I'm bed ridden for three days, can't move. When I get out of the hospital, my job that I used to work 40 hrs a week for starts to phase me out. I get 30 hours.. then down to 20... then next thing I know I only work one day a week. I ask for more hours but they say they can try... but they dont.

    I have been without a job ever since. I had a break working one place over christmas last year but they fired me because i was seasonal. I can't get jobs to call me back... I can only get jobs working seasonal. I had to move back in with my mother... and I don't know what to do.

    Do I still have the chance to sue them, or anything?

    I live in Wisconsin if that helps.

  • Recently having nightmares every night?

    Why, whenever I close my eyes to nap or sleep, I have nightmares. But there not like scary things. They're just like something that would upset me. Like my brand new laptop breaking, losing my cell phone, my iPod Touch shattering, my boyfriend of 3 years and I breaking up over nothing, my bestfriend being mad at me, my dog getting hit by a car, crashing my car...

    Get my jist?

    It started like two weeks ago and I will wake up every hour and most of the nightmares I've forgotten but I have one every hour and everytime I shut my eyes.

  • Does taking a shower everyday...?

    vs taking a shower once a week change the rate that you wrinkle or age.

    You know what I mean?

    Like washing everyday washes away dead skin cells faster and makes your body produce more which makes your body age faster. Am I right?

    Like if washing the cells off everyday makes your body work harder right?

  • If 2 people want to invest in my lil business and make it big...?

    and we split profit 3 ways evenly (because I have no money, and they do and are willign to invest) but they are boyfriend and girlfriend... If they get married does that mean we rewrite the contract to split 50/50?

    Because if, when they marry and they are still getting 33% EACH.. 66% combined... I'm left with my little 33% and I'm the one who thought up the product, created it, everything. They just marketed it and got employees to make them. (because my lil fingers dont work that fast)

    Or am I way off? Just seems a bit unfair if they get married and are bringing in more than double the income of me... the owner...
