TQC, my hair dryer just died on me. I have to leave in 15 minutes, my hair is still soaking wet, it's freezing and snowy outside, and I'm already sick. What can I do to flash dry my hair?

 Hi. I`m trying to figure out how to get the Orange and Blue layer: 



I don`t know how because it`s only from a PSD which I`m trying to follow.
How do I get them? Or are they textures?

Hope you guys can help. Thanks in advance! :)

The new decade: Does it start in a week and a half, on January 1st, 2010? Or does it start in a year on January 1st, 2011?

I suppose this question goes back to if the new century started in 2000 or 2001?

Was there a year zero in the big BC to AD changeover?

(Yes, these are the things that we discuss at my house, we are 100% nerds)

Okay, this is driving me nuts so I'm going to ask you ladies about it. It's about the place of Mortal Strike in the rotation. So in your Arms rotation do you put priority on Mortal Strike over Overpower and Sudden Death or is it vice versa? I've been doing the former but it seems like a majority of sites I've visited say to put priority on Overpower and Sudden Death procs over Mortal Strike if all are avaliable at once. What is correct?

Should the priority order be:
1. Rend
2. Mortal Strike
3. Sudden Death
4. Overpower
5. Slam

Or

1. Rend
2. Sudden Death
3. Overpower
4. Mortal Strike
5. Slam

All of these depend on procs of course but I'm asking if I have a choice between Mortal Strike and Sudden Death or between Mortal Strike and Overpower, which one do I choose first?

EDIT: Now the Ensidia site says to place Mortal Strike under Sudden Death but over Overpower in priority. >> God, this is confusing.

Spot those memes!

This is a cool thing: an article about how the Joker is going to be as a famous pop-icon as Che, which suits me fine, because I have my T-shirt :)))))

I am going here with my bff for breakfast this morning. What should I get?! (menu)



What are you allergic to?

I just saw Indiana Jones banging the chick that banged his dad and she's a Nazi.
How does that make you feel?

My husband wanted me to use this song. So I used part of the song. It is pretty short.

I have a lvl 80 Dranei hunter in epics all above item lvl 219.( http://www.wow-heroes.com/index.php?zone=us&server=Exodar&name=vahog )
My gear isn't that bad, but for some reason my dps sucks.  Even when I concentrate on the proper shot rotation, I tend to peak at about 2.4k dps.  Any suggestions?

where do you work?
If applicable, have you ever done anything to a rude customer's order or service?

everyone always jokingly says, "please don't spit in my food." it mainly just pisses off the workers that we are viewed to go that low, but I am trying to see how many people would ACTUALLY serve something disgusting.

Fa-la la laa-la-laa... Seasons greetings, one and all!

(not actually Christmasy, but I hope you enjoy anyway..)

This is for pandoraandbox for the holiday swap prompt. Sorry for posting it here but I am yet to figure out how to create the link to my LJ account.

So it was Christmas again. It had been four years since the geeks had met the beauty. Penny was still an integral part of the boys daily interactions. The endless Halo games, the movie nights and the paintball games provided an abundance of memories for all of them.

Of course there had been a few months of awkwardness after the dissolution of Penny and Leonard's relationship. There had been no major fight or catalyst that ended their relationship. They both simply reached a point where they knew it wasn't working.

Sheldon knew he should not gloat at this turn of events. But he had seen the end coming from the beginning. It still amazed him that a blonde, beautiful, aspiring actress/waitress had become such an important part of his life. He pondered the question of what to buy her for Christmas for months. He wanted his gift to be unique, useful and personal. There were a few things that the two had shared which the others were ignorant of. The recitations of 'soft kitty' to each other, Sheldon rescuing, dressing and taking Penny to the hospital when she dislocated her shoulder. This was not to mention that in a few short years she somehow knew and understood him better than anyone else in his life, even his own family.

So Christmas morning rolled around, time to exchange gifts. Sheldon still fretted over his choice of gift. The appropriateness of his purchase, the likely reaction of the recipient and the comments of the others present. Yet his remarkable brain could not conceive of his gift being unappreciated. He stood for a moment in front of the spider infested fire hazard that had become a regular fixture in their apartment, again due to Penny.

The door suddenly opened and a loud, off key voice sang lustily, 'Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way'. Sheldon spun around to see their neighbor, resplendent in her Santa hat and tinsel ball earrings.

"Happy Christmas, moonpie" she chirped before rushing over and planting a kiss on his cheek.
Sheldon frowned, "Penny how many times do I have to tell you not to call me that particular endearment."
"But Sheldon, you know you are nummy-nummy and I could just eat you up." She laughed and planted herself firmly in his spot on the couch, despite his arched eyebrow.
"Here you go, moonpie." she smiled holding out a brightly wrapped package.

Sheldon took it, knowing she still could not top the gift she had given him on their first Christmas together. He handed her a large envelope in exchange, then tore the wrapping paper off gasping as he saw the gift inside, it was the complete autobiography of Robert Oppenheimer. He turned to see Penny looking stunned, her mouth hanging open as she held the contents of his gift envelope in her trembling hand.

"Sheldon, What the Hell!" she finally choked out.

He frowned, confused at her reaction, he had thought his gift entirely practical. Penny tossed it onto the coffee table and stormed out, slamming the door after her. Sheldon picked it up and again wondered what he had done wrong this time. It was a gift certificate for a bulk order, feminine hygiene company. It was so practical he thought, after all she will be needing these products for at least another thirty years.

Dear folk I found today through the random dungeon finder, especially the healer. Would that I could remember your names, but it's too damn hot here, and when I tried to whisper a few of you I couldn't - different servers, alas!

I queued nervously in the new Dungeon Finder as a Paladin Tank and got Halls of Lightning. I am new to tanking, and new to most dungeons, and just generally not great, but I am trying to learn fast. I tell folks at the begining. Only the healer noticed, who said 'Hey, I am also a first timer!'

Awesome sauce, lets go! I ask for any hints available and mention I won't know the bosses, but do take advice.

No advice is given, we wiped on the first boss, twice. I comment that I might not have enough health for this and don't know the fight, and someone says something to the effect of 'What do you mean?!' so I point back to my first comment - I'm new! I say I am happy to leave so they can get a better tank. DPS drop group, though at least no one says anything but the healer ("Man, he hits hard!").

We look for moar DPS. The healer asks me why the others dropped group, and I say that they probably were hoping for an easy run and realised this was not going to be one.

Three other DPS arrive in short order. We seem to mostly be newbies. I page out, look up strategy ("Oh, man, those dwarves HEAL General Bjarngrim!), and off we go!

It is...remarkably...

...painless.

We don't exactly stroll through, but we down the bosses with no problems. There is one wipe before Volkhan because we don't know to run straight through the room. I page out before each major fight, check the strategy for the boss, give advice, and I think at one point one DPS dies, but they run back in cheerily enough. Everything goes smoothly despite the horror of newbieness. People chatter and comment, cheer each other for good upgrades, and are just nice. There are a few squeaky moments - neither I nor the healer are really geared, and sometimes a few accidental pulls happen, but everything is just. Nice. When people make mistakes, they immediately apologise, and own up to them straight away.

We smack our way through to Loken! We are right there, on the cusp of getting into position for combat, ready to kill him and -

The server dies.

Noooooooooooooooooooooothehumanity.

By the time I get back in, I'm no longer in Halls of Lightning.

So, if by chance, one of you is here, thank you. I was a bit discouraged at the begining, but the general friendliness and good behaviour of the team is worth a bit of a /cheer regardless. If only running with some of the experienced folks I've been with could be this painless...

omg

i needed to change a lab time for one of my classes and at my school you can't be enrolled in a lab class without being registered for the lab, but you also can't be registered for two labs so i had to drop the class first. the class is full but i figured if i dropped the class a spot would open up and i could just sign up again. that's how it works with other classes. BUT IT DIDN'T. i am seriously screwed. it's the only section of the class that doesn't conflict with my other classes. i realize it's different for every school, but have any of you had luck with talking to the registrar about something like this? i am seriously wanting to punch myself in the face right now.

There's been loads of posts about jerks in LFG, but I haven't seen a post on how to deal with them well. I got to thinking about this earlier while running AC- a plate helm with 3 gem slots dropped and all three melee rolled on it. A lowbie DK placed in the dungeon by random LFG won it and one of the other melee DPS was a terrible sore loser. He told the DK he didn't "deserve" the plate. He continued with a rand on the DK's DPS and general lack of knowledge on the game. I started a vote to kick him and it passed, but I'm not sure what I would have done if it hadn't. We wound up getting a new DPS assigned to us and finished the dungeon, telling the DK he was great and didn't suck along the way.

What do you usually do if....

1) A member of the group doesn't listen to strategy, and refuses to take tips on the dungeon? The kind of people who aren't the tank and pull, or the person who keeps DPSing when they have the brand in H PoS. The ones who are passive-aggressive about stopping what they're doing and agree to, but don't. Imagine mages trying to pull.

2) A group member means well but is just terrible and keeps dying or accidentally bring the group down with them? Assume they are very sweet otherwise. What if you're in a really hard dungeon and you think you'd do better if they were replaced?

3) If a class that is allowed to need on armor that isn't itemized for them rolls and wins it. And keeps doings so. Like... A mage rolling on pieces whos main feature is mp5 over a disc priest, or a DK/warrior being somehow allowed to roll on items with INT?

4) The kind of player that does well, but is horribly, horribly rude and inconsiderate. Like the guy in my story. FYI, I asked him if he was joking just to make sure and he said "Hell, no." What if they're the tank/heals and nobody wants to kick them?

Ignore this if there has been a similar post, I check often and have not seen one.

I know this has probably been asked a million times, but where can I watch entire movies online for free without having to download anything? All the sites I've found only have a few clips or are super sketch in general.

A/N: Finally! *bounces in excitement* I have been waiting forever to post this. SRSLY. It's my Paradox secret santa swap, and it's for znuese , who asked for "The end (of the series). Preferably fluffy or at worst bittersweet. Extra points for using "Book of Love" by Peter Gabriel as inspiration."

Between the Lines @ fandom_bitches

It's late, but I just have to both mini-rage and mega-gush.

( clicky for my 1am brainmush! )

I am going out on a limb here, because I really do not know if we'll have sufficient numbers for raiding this weekend. But if we do, I'd like to set up two raid days. :)

Saturday, 1 pm server: Ulduar hardmodes
Sunday, 11 am server: Trial of the Crusader

If we only get one raid day together, we'll do Trial of the Crusader only, in further preparation for ICC. Trial of the Crusader is also the target of the weekly raid quest this week, so everyone who signs up for ToC should make sure to pick up that quest.

For Ulduar hardmodes, obviously Ulduar experience including Keepers will be required. If we get a raid together, I will announce beforehand which hardmodes you should prepare for.

For ToC-10, minimum requirements for Ulduar are in effect.

what nerdity should i start reading next?

Song of Ice and Fire serise by George Martin
or
The Earthsea series by Ursula Leguin
or
something else (insert suggestions)

Its xmas time again, and the only thing that will keep me sane in the presence of extended family will be a heavy influx of fantasmagasmic literature.
