City by the Sea
City by the Sea (2002)

IMDB rating: 6.20

Plot: New York City homicide detective Vincent LaMarca has forged a long and distinguished career in law enforcement, making a name for himself as a man intensely committed to his work. But on his latest case, the stakes are higher for Vincent—the suspect he’s investigating is his own son. He and Joey have been painfully estranged ever since Vincent divorced his wife and left the decaying boardwalks of Long Beach, Long Island for the anonymity of Manhattan and a successful career with the NYPD. He lives his life in solitude, keeping his girlfriend at arm’s length; the closest relationship he maintains is with his partner, Reg—and Vincent makes sure that stops at the precinct door. As long as Vincent lives in the protection of the present, he doesn’t have to deal with the pain of his past—or his sorrow over his broken relationship with Joey. But this murder investigation is drawing Vincent home to Long Beach, the self-proclaimed City by the Sea, where the past has been waiting for him to return. The agonizing memory that has tortured him all his life—the death of his father, a convicted murderer who was executed when Vincent was just a boy—still plagues him. In the course of the investigation, he discovers that his own unresolved pain and failures as a father have deeply influenced Joey’s life, and now his 18-month-old grandson may be fated to follow their self-destructive paths.

Chemistry Questions #3..?
Why do bubbles of vapor rise to the surface when a liquid is boiling?

The atmospheric pressure high in the mountains is lower than the normal atmospheric pressure at the sea level. For example, in Salt Lake City, Utah, the average atmospheric pressure is less than 1 atm. How does this affect the boiling point of water?

Up in the mountains, the boiling point of water is less than 100oC
Up in the mountains, the boiling point of water is exactly 100oC, like the boiling point at sea level
Up in the mountains, the boiling point of water is greater than 100oC

Based upon your previous answer, will it take longer to hard-boil an egg in the mountains than at sea level? Explain why or why not.


In low pressure areas, it takes less heat to boil anything. Therefore, the boiling point of water is less than 100degrees C.

It will take a shorter amount of time to boil an egg in the mountains because your water will boil faster.

Tarzan & Jane

Tarzan & Jane
Tarzan & Jane (2002)

IMDB rating: 4.60

Plot: As Tarzan and Jane’s one-year wedding anniversary approaches, Jane searches the jungle for the perfect gift for Tarzan, even enlisting the help of Terk and Tantor. As they recall the many adventures they’ve shared so far, Jane realizes what an exciting year it’s been in the jungle from encounters with old friends, outsmarting panthers to surfing the lava down an erupting volcano. But all of that is nothing compared to the surprise that Tarzan has in store for Jane.

Calculating height in physics?
Hello, does anyone know how to solve this physics problem? And can you explain it as well?

1. Jane, looking for Tarzan, is running at top speed (5.6 m/s) and grabs a vine hanging vertically from a tall tree in the jungle. How high can she swing upward?


This problem is one of conservation of energy. In the initial state all of the energy is in Jane’s motion, and in the final state it is all stored as gravitational potential.

Thus, it is simply a matter of setting the two forms of energy equal to each other:

1/2 m v^2 = m * g * h

In this case, as is common in conservation of energy the mass of the object (Jane, in this case) is irrelevant, since it will cancel out. Thus:
1/2 v^2 = g h
h = v^2/(2g)

With numbers, h = (5.6)^2/(2*9.81) = 1.598m

Hope this helps
Not always right (but usually) | Dec 17, 2009


this is a problem of conservation of energy. At the top of her ascent she will have zero kinetic energy, all Potential.

Following U+K=U+K

1/2mv^2=mgh
1/2v^2=gh
15.68=gh g=9.81 m/s^2
h=1.6 m

BTW this problem can probably also be done through kinematics

Critique a part of my story please?
Chapter 1

With a last screeching groan the truck skidded to a complete stop.

"No!" I squeaked through my hoarse throat as desperation took over me. My heart started to race as each beat became intense and prominent in my chest. Feeling overwhelmed and frightened I fumbled with the keys in the ignition and tried to start the truck, nothing happened.
"Oh come on, please!" I cried in defeat, as I tried again this time the truck hissed angrily back as white clouds of steam started to rise from the bonnet the truck. I threw my head against the steering wheel and let the tears stream down my cheeks. I had only made it to the bridge on the outskirts of Riverside, the three mile long bridge that led off into Linkin, but it wasn’t enough.

Remembering my head shot up as my eyes darted to the rear view mirror.
I could make out faint headlights in the distance, It was the only set of headlights on the road, It was them. They were following me.
"Oh god" I said as more tears streaked down my face. My heart sank to my stomach and a lump rose in my throat. I felt cold and clammy but yet the heat started creeping up my neck. Panic started to rise from the pit of my stomach. They were coming to get me.

why do so many iPod owners ask about transferring music from their iPods to their PC?
I frequent YA and especially the mp3 players section, and hardly a day goes by without seeing the same question asked about several times by different people: "How do I transfer music from my iPod to my computer?" Often this question will be phrased differently ("how do I moved mp3 files from my iPod to my iTunes library" or the like). I always assumed that this couldn’t be done, at least not easily. If so many people needed to ask, then even if there’s an answer, it’s probably complicated, even if slightly.

Last night however, because my Sansa died, I commandeered my hubbie’s not-frequently used 1st Gen Nano (2 gb, black - if you must know) and plugged it in.

Going into "My Computer" (XP), I found I could "explore" the Nano, and it took no time for me to find several folders full of music files. Sure, the names were messed up, but apparently the tags were still good, and there was no problem copying from those folders onto the hard drive.

Now, I know that it’s not unusual for the same questions to pop up in a given subject (computers - "name for a gaming laptop for under $450"; Law Enforcement: "I stole cat toys from a pet store, I’m 24, I’ve never been arrested before, I’m in Harvard Law School - am I gonna go to juvie?"), but this is a no-brainer. Why does something that’s easy seem to befuddle so many people?

also, is the iPod an mp3 player? I thought iPod music files were aac - the ones I found were mp3.

what am I missing?


I find it simpler to use a software to get my music from my iTouch to my computer whenever I need to. The names aren’t scrambled & they can be put into whatever folder I want them to be in.

I think it befuddles people because they don’t think to look in their iPod for the music. Or they think that if they look & try to mess around with the files then they’ll hurt their iPod in some way, I know I was. Now I know I can’t really do much to hurt the iPod =)

The iPod is pretty much just a souped up mp3 player. Mp3s are the easiest things to find on the internet so of course it’ll play them. The music you buy from iTunes, however, is in .aac format. I don’t understand why this is, but that’s the way Apple did it. It’s even possible to convert the .aac to .mp3 IN iTunes. I forget where the option is, but it’s possible.

Was my ecstasy laced?
My friend hooked me up with 2 gun symbols. I think one was blue and one was red. I took 1 pill and waited a full hour. I did not feel to much and kept looking at the time and after a hour passed I said f*ckit and popped the other pill. 10 min later it kicked in, then 30 min. later the other pill kicked it. I was bobbing my head like crazy. The whole room shook for 9-10 hours straight. I couldn’t walk or focus on anything, couldn’t even play a video game. I kept opening and closing my mouth like a fish. I felt really really good, but don’t remember the whole night. I smoked like 3 packs a cig., drank a 12 back of beer, and smoked an eight of weed. I actually scared 3 people out of ever trying the drug. My roommate said, I am never ever going to touch that drug now. I would also be moving my head in all sorts of directions as well as my body. My friend came over and as soon as he walked into the room, he was like what the f*ck are you on, I told him X. He said that he couldn’t even see the black part in my eyes. Is this normal.


Well these aren’t the side effects of ecstasy firstly. next, with any drug I’m familiar with, your pupils would get dilated not contracted. Thirdly, an eighth of weed? Whats that even mean? fourth, poppin pills (and doin any other drug) isn’t normal. Those three people are smart. My advice: don’t do it again, esp. since it doesn’t even seem like the pill you thought it was.

Plot: San Diego police detective Mike Dooley has retired from the force, but on the way home from his retirement party, he and his police dog, Jerry Lee, come across a robbery at an electronics lab, in which four valuable prototype computer chips are stolen. When Dooley and Jerry Lee try to stop the robbery, they are slowed down by the FBI, who draw their guns on Dooley. In chasing the thieves, Jerry Lee has swallowed one of the chips, and the other three won’t work without it. In the eyes of the FBI, Dooley becomes a suspect just because he was on the scene at the time of the heist, and his pension is frozen until the case is solved. Since Dooley’s pension is frozen, he decides to breed Jerry Lee for some quick cash to start a private investigation business. Unfortunately, Jerry Lee’s a big slob who farts a lot, and so he has trouble with the higher-brow dog fanciers. But after a successful night of breeding, Dooley gets paid, and winds up with a crush on Catherine Coleman, the female dog’s owner. Jerry Lee gets “morning after” regrets. After a trip to the vet, Jerry Lee passes the computer chip. Dooley cleans the chip and stuffs the chip into the locket on Jerry Lee’s dog collar. Dooley gets his P.I. license and advertises his services in the paper. The first person to call him is Laura Fields, who wants Dooley to help her find her lost fiance. Little do Dooley and Jerry Lee know that all roads in this investigation will lead back to the heist. Dooley has to deal with the FBI, which is tailing him to see how he was involved with the theft in the first place. He also has to deal with his ex-captain and his former colleagues, who all seem to think he’s crazy. As it turns out, Laura is the mastermind behind the theft, and she hired Dooley so she can get her hands on the chip that Jerry Lee has. Can Dooley and Jerry Lee stop Laura before she can get her hands on the chip?

Igby Goes Down (2002)

IMDB rating: 7.10

Plot: Igby Slocumb, a rebellious and sarcastic seventeen year-old boy, is at war with the oppressive world of his East Coast “old money” family. With a schizophrenic father, a self-absorbed, distant mother, and a shark-like young Republican big brother, Igby figures there must be a better life out there, and he sets out to find it. After happily flunking out of several Prep Schools, Igby escapes into the bohemian underworld of Manhattan. His darkly comic trip—shared by a deviant cast of characters, including his terminally bored, part-time lover Sookie, his Godfather’s trophy mistress Rachel, and smack-dealing performance artists Russel—veers from bizarre to tragic in Igby’s ultimately noble attempt to keep himself from “going down.”

Directors: Burr Steers

Actors: Culkin Kieran,Goldblum Jeff,Harris Jared,Phillippe Ryan,Pullman Bill,Culkin Rory,Tambakis Peter Anthony,Irwin Bill,Forrester Gannon,Comedy,Drama,

How is Igby goes Down considered a modern version of Catcher in the Rye?
I mean, he runs away but the rest doesn’t really have to do with it and it was the worst movie I ever watched in school. We’re going to get an assignment on it soon and I still don’t understand it.


This is one of my favorite movies. Yes I would agree that this is a modern day telling of Catcher in the Rye. I do not know if that was intended by the writer/director, but they contain alot of the same elements. I do know that the writer origionally intended this story for a novel not a movie.

IMDB rating: 7.10

Plot: In a place far, far away, illegal genetic experiment #626 is detected: Ruthless scientist Dr. Jumba Jookiba has created a strong, intelligent, nearly indestructible and aggressive being with only one known weakness: The high density of his body makes it impossible for the experiment to swim in water. The scientist is sentenced to jail by the Grand Council of the Galactic Federation. The experiment is supposed to be transported to a prison asteroid, yet manages to escape Captain Gantu, who was supposed to deliver him there. With a stolen police cruiser (the red one), the destructive being races towards a little and already doomed planet: Earth. Stranded on Hawaii, experiment #626 can’t actually do much harm: water all around, no big cities and two well-equipped representatives of the Galactic Federation already following close behind to catch him again. But Dr. Jookiba and the Earth expert Pleakley never could have guessed that earth girl Lilo adopts the experiment as dog, gives him the name Stitch and actually causes an emotional development in the little beast. Her dysfunctional family, consisting only of Lilo and her sister Nani, is about to be ripped apart by social worker Cobra Bubbles. Stitch as the new family member brings quite some action into all their lifes, and after a while, not even Pleakley and Dr. Jookiba can recognize their former target. But how shall they bring the news of failure to the Grand Councilwoman without being punished?
