Assassins Creed Help Please?
Im on memory block 4, of assassins creed ps3, and im stuck. It has got to the point where i have got three different assassinations to carry out. When ever i go to the assassin bureau, in all of the three cities, they say- come back when you’ve finished the task, yet there is no tasks on the mini map. I also tried going back to maysaf to find the boss, yet he has disappeared too. P.s, i have completed all viewpoints, therefore i cannot synchronise, don’t know if this has anything to do with it. But please help me, i really want to complete the game before assassins creed 2 comes out.
Theres no info on the map as to who i need to evesdrop, pickpocket e.t.c.


Have you done all intimidation’s, pickpocketing and all eve’s dropping to get the right info on the targets you have to kill?

EDIT:
do you have any markers on the map at all?

EDIT:
Oh, i know what you mean, have just loaded my copy up and i am where you are. What you have to do is to go to a different section of the city, eg: in Jerusalem, you start out in the rich district (where the Bureau is) and you have to go to the poor district (directly south of the Bureau), find a view point (look for a building with an eagle circling overhead) and go on from there

What was the best drum corps drumline?
If you are familiar with drum corps, which corps, and which year, was the best drumline?

Personally, I liked the 1993 Cadets. What a quad solo!


Thanks so much for a trip down memory lane! When I was in marching band, we were fascinated by Phantom - 1996 was the year we followed their tour, watched every show, completely drooooooling over ever move the corps made, and everything the drums did!!! I haven’t thought of that for years - thanks!

need some good anime to watch?
I’ve never watched that much but I know a little about what I like
I like the artwork from cowboy bebop and ghost in a shell

I like more of a cyberpunk theme than fantasy (akira not dbz or naruto)

the more convoluted the story the better (think square enix rpg’s final fantasy, xenogears/saga)

no hentai please

any help would be appreciated thank you

In barren and dark dystopian world, where every being alive seems to hate his existence and the evil from his past wants him dead, Casshern, haunted by the flashes of his past memories has to survive and figure out who or what exactly he is and how he got to where he is now.

Ergo Proxy

The world is bigger than you think..

After the explosion of the methane hydrate layer, the remaining members of mankind are forced to live in isolated domed cities scattered across the arid and inhospitable planet. They live in a controlled society and are assisted in daily life by autonomous robots called AutoReivs. In one of these cities, Romdo, Inspector Re-l Mayer, granddaughter of the regent, leads an investigation concerning AutoReivs that have gone mad after being infected by the Cogito virus. In the process, she comes in contact with a monster called Proxy. Elsewhere in the city, immigrant Vincent Law is on the run after being framed for involvement in several Cogito cases. Together, along with the adorable child-AutoReiv Pino, they set out on a journey to the dome city Mosco in order to unravel the mystery of the Proxies.

Paprika (Movie)

In the near future, a revolutionary new psychotherapy treatment called PT has been invented. Through a device called the "DC Mini" it is able to act as a "dream detective" to enter into people’s dreams and explore their unconscious thoughts. Before the government can pass a bill authorizing the use of such advanced psychiatric technology, one of the prototypes is stolen, sending the research facility into an uproar. In the wrong hands, the potential misuse of the device could be devastating, allowing the user to completely annihilate a dreamer’s personality while they are asleep. Renowned scientist, Dr. Atsuko Chiba, enters the dream world under her exotic alter-ego, code name "PAPRIKA," in an attempt to discover who is behind the plot to undermine the new invention.

302 rebuild and tough turning crank? - 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords …

How much of the short block is assembled and what do you mean by “very difficult to crank by hand”?  If it is a complete shortblock and you’re turning it over by pushing on the counter weights on the crank then yes it would be difficult to turn.  If you mean that you’re using a ratchet at the end of the crank to turn it then no it shouldn’t be that difficult.

Did you install new main and rod bearings?  Did you have the crank turned?  When you have a crank turned they usually turn it .010.  So with .010 removed from the journals on the crank the bearings have to be .010 thicker.  If you didn’t turn the crank and installed new bearings it’s possible that you have a bearing that is .010 thicker.  That would squeeze the crank and make it hard to turn.  Most bearings will have a stamp on the backside that shows if they are .010, .020, etc.

how to deal with a stupid, deluded mother?
i cried today cause she won’t let me allow to sleepover at my friend’s house. No, not because she’s afraid of my safety, but cause she says i have low grades. my grades aren’t even that low, in fact, i pass every subject! When i asked her, she told me, no! your sisters never slept at their friend’s houses when they were your age! you’re grounded! yeah, she grounded me just cause i asked her if i could sleepover at my friend’ house. stupid, old hag. most of my friend’s moms are awesome, kind and considerate even if their daughters fail. why am i so unlucky as to have a mother like this? i hate her so much! i wish for her death constantly.i know that sounds really bad, but, it’s true. i was so excited for this sleepover.


That would be hard to live with, thats for sure. I did have some friends with moms like that, really strict, and It bothered me when their punishments also became punishments for ME because they were keeping my friends from sleeping over at my house. I always thought that if you were gonna punish someone, the punishment shouldnt also affect their friends because that just didnt seem fair.
I can understand why you are upset.

BUT… she is your mom. No matter what she is like, it is your duty to respect her and her wishes. No matter how terrible another human being might be to us, they should never deserve our hate. I’m pretty sure that your mother senses your lack of respect for her, and that is contributing to your suffering. And we have only heard one side of the story, perhaps from her point of view you were being disrespectful to her face and that is why you got grounded.

It doesnt matter if you agree with your mom or not, she is your mom, she has the final say and her laws need to be respected. Your best bet in this situation to get what you want, is to surrender to her. Dont fight her. Act as mature as possible.. Tell her that although you feel she is being unreasonable, you understand that she is your mother and you are choosing to respect her desires and will accept her punishment. Make sure you dont call her any names or fight with her, just calmy admit to her that she is the boss and that you will listen.

You might not like that idea, but I do believe that the more respect you show her, the more lenient she will become. The more mature she witnesses you acting, the more thoughtful she might be in creating rules. The more you fight, the more she is going to fight to exert her power over you.
not to mention, anger only begets more anger.

It might not help right away, but be persistant with your attempts to be respectful of her and her rules, and I am sure you will see improvement. You cant get a new mother, and all of us struggle with our parents on varying degrees, we just have to learn to grin and bear it most of the time.

mariekitt24 | Jan 06, 2010


Wow, that really sucks for you. Considering the fact you know your and you’re are different things, you should be good in grades.
Leader X | Jan 06, 2010


ok ok your speakin to an exspert now lol
1. oviously your mum is being very childish so you need to apporach this in an adult way try to compremice (mum what can i do for you if you will do this for me)
2. if she is still being unreasonable answer her questions wiv questions your mum would say(your not sleeping at your friends because you wont be safe) you then say ( why wont i be safe people would be safe if they came her) but dont be argumentative
3. try and prove your resonceble giv a name addres and phone number and say to your mum would it make you feel better if you see there parents
4. if she isnt takeing this and your still grounded acsept and maybe she will see your being adult about it

good luck its becuase your her little girl and she doesnt want to loose you trust i have problems wiv my mum but they love you so just tell them what they wanna hear
Suzy | Jan 06, 2010


I know you think that she is being rough on you cause when I was younger I thought like you did. To be honest it has nothing to do with your grades. Your probably like what 13 - 16, She still sees you as her baby and she is trying to protect you, and you are trying to be more grown up then you are. Trust me the next few years are going to be like this alot. Then when your older you’ll understand. As for your friends moms, some act different around their kids friends but i really doubt they turn a blide eye to bad grades. To be completly honest, its just a sleepover and there will be plenty more.

A good tip is

Learn when to fight and when to back off and breath not everything has to be a war. If you were to maybe ask again without losing your cool ( show maturity and respect ) she most likly will give in. If you’ve already missed it well just keep this in mind for next time :) AV86 | Jan 06, 2010

Unlock "LOC" mode on Oldsmobile Alero car radio?
I recently had my battery replaced in my 1999 Oldsmobile Alero and as an anti-theft measure, my car radio has turned into LOC mode where I can not do anything. I’ve searched the web and everyone tells me to go pay a dealer ($50-100) to unlock it for me. I’ve also ran across some phone numbers to call to help, but they’ve gotten me nowhere. I want a cheap, easy fix…any suggestions?!


Sorry,the dealer is the only one I know of who can unLOC the anti theft feature of your radio.

How do I deal with my unreasonable mother?
My mother is extremely controlling, border-line emotionally abusive. I am almost constantly grounded for the smallest things just so that she can keep me at home. I graduated high school with a 3.7 gpa, I currently have all A’s and one B in my first semester of college, I have never been drunk, never done drugs, etc. I’d like to think that I am a good kid. I am 18 years old by the way. I see a therapist to try and deal with my mother, but it’s getting to be too much. I’m trying to get a job now (I had to take a break from work because my parents, mother included, were pushing me to develop my music and I had no time to work) so that I can get an apartment and finally move out. The only problem is, I am not allowed out of the house. Literally, not allowed to step foot outside the house, even to go job hunting, because I am grounded for my room being messy.
In any other situation, I would just clean my room and be done with it, right? Well this is not the first time this has happened. I am almost constantly grounded for one thing or another, usually my room (hey, I’m a teenager still. Of course it’s not gonna be clean!) and whenever I fix whatever the cause of my being grounded is, she finds something else. Whatever I do, it is not enough. This has been going on for ages, longer than I can remember, so you can hopefully understand why I would be discouraged to try to get ungrounded.
Anyway, what should I do? My therapist is out of town for the holidays so I can’t go see her. I have no way of getting out because she will not un-ground me no matter what I do, and I am not allowed to get a job to move out. Please, any advice will help. Just don’t tell me to clean my room! I’m not dumb, of course I’m cleaning my room. Even a teenager like me doesn’t like things TOO messy.


My advice is just to deal with it and pray for your 18th birthday. My mother and I never got along and we still fight all the time to this day. I wish I had more to offer but my mother never would have set me free early and I’m guessing your mother won’t either. That leaves you to just deal until you can get away.

Just hang in there and say ok. Don’t fight it, she’ll win because she has all the control and you’ll only feel angrier at the helpless feeling.

It is time to leave home. You are 18. You are in college. You are legally an adult. At this point I think that living elsewhere is more important than college.

You are 18. You are no longer at the age where you need to obey your mom. Put a lock on your door. Ask your therapist to speak with your mom. Get out of there!

How to pick a religion?
My father happens to be Muslim and my mother Roman Catholic. Both of them are extremely tolerant of each other’s religious views and are both not practicing, however try to live good lives as good people. THey encourage me and my siblings to do the same.

Our entire family isn’t really practicing however we try to be good people and celebrate the major holidays of both religions. Now, I am sick of being not practicing for both and I want to choose a religion. My parents would like me to choose one of the two, however I want to go outside of the two and look at as many religions that interest me as possible.

I am looking for anyone’s advice who may have gone through the same dilemma some tips on how to find and choose a religion. Any strategies, advice, our tips shall be very helpful.

Thank you.


Pick a religion that makes sense and is not based upon a book full of contradictions and horror stories. Pick a god whose not vengeful, hateful, jealous, and childish. I’m sorry that doesn’t leave anything as far as any Abrahamic religions are concerned.

Gravel | Dec 30, 2009


Pick Pastafarianism.

It’s hands down the BEST religion.

If you don’t convert, the FSM will send your a s s to hell!
