I'm having problems getting my laptop battery to last more than an hour while the machine is not plugged in.... it's making it entirely a waste to even try to take notes in school... All I need to do is run MS Word and possibly Adobe Acrobat. My config and settings are below. Can someone help with some settings or a solution that will extend battery power? My meter will initially show 3 hours of power left but that decreases exponentially and only last an hour at the most... I generally disable the radio on my internal Intel wireless card to avoid processing cycles used to unneeded wireless access. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I will be open to setting up new Windows Profiles if necessary and it doesn't screw up my desktop and settings in the profile I use most often... Thanks for the help!! Brett

Config: Inspiron 9300
Pentium M 2.13 ghz, 533 FSB
2 gig RAM, 533 FSB dual inline module
256 mg NVidia 9300
set at 1900x1200 dpi in 32bit true color
Dell Lithium 9 Cell 11.1v

I recently conceived and at 6 weeks miscarried. Ever since my husband & I have had sex and still nothing. I wouldn't say we are truly "by the book" trying but everytime I tell him I'm on my period he is always asking me Really?? How Come?? With us there is no pill taking, calendar counting, etc. We are just doing the good old "deed". Question I am asking is why is it soooo difficult to get pregnant. It seems for the longest time I was always extremely paranoid about having sex because I was worried about getting pregnant before we were married & now that I am married I am amazed at how hard it really is.Does anyone else get what I'm saying?? I mean who knows if we tried on my so called "fertile days" we may have an easier time, but I still am amazed how there's such a science to it. In all honesty we have only been married since march & I lost my first in june so it's not like it has been forever. But for some reason I thought it would be much easier, have sex=have baby.... guess not

Clinton Portis or Brandon Jacobs? I'm not sold on Portis, who is going up against a great run defense (Miami) and is an injury risk.

Do they need to say they use animal fat to make soap? Or is it a case if it doesn't say it doesn't use animal fat, it definitely has animal fat in the ingredient?

How about Fairy Liquid? (Sorry America, it's a British washing-up liquid. I am not trying to be flipp.)

In M. Night Shymalans movie, do you think it was ethical for Walker to send his blind daughter for help? Given that she was sent with two "protectors" (who were not to see the outside world but were instead instructed to stop at the road), but she would have been woefully unprepared for our world had the guard taken her in. Also, what about the future of the Village itself? Would the legend (and the deceit) of Those Whom We Do Not Speak Of be passed down and perpetuated by successive generations? What if a third generation decides to fight back - possibly ambushing one of TWWDNSO if possible? Lucius could easily have tackled the one on the porch - what do you think would have been the ramifications of such a courageous act and the exposure of the Elder's deceit?

I had an allergy shot yesterday about halfway between my shoulder and my elbow. Today I have an area of redness about 3 inches long by 2 inches wide that is filled with broken capillaries. There are also a couple of red "tendrils" that extend up to my shoulder and around my arm. At the end of each tendril are a couple of large hives. It is extremely itchy!

Anyone else have a similar reaction? What can I do to help control it? It just keeps spreading and the prescription steroid cream I have does nothing.

Hi, I had acute liver failure 2 yrs ago, and I am 26 weeks pregnant. My Liver Function Test results show that it is returning, as I have developed severe itching. I had my Anti-natal appointment today and they have put me on Urso and Vitamin K, the main thing I am most worried about is that my doctor gave me Steroid injections to mature my unborn babys lungs, why have they given it me so early, is there a strong chance of my baby being delivered early? I know there is a good chance that my baby will survive this early but it is still a worry as the doctors have'nt really told me much about what is going to happen, just that they gave me the steroids (JUST IN CASE) I dont know what going on. Is there anyone out there that may know anything about what is happening?

My Liver Function Test Results were:
Bilarubin - 38
Alk Phosphate - 318
Alt - 35

Please can anyone help me?

I have a 1986 or 85 Mercury 90. I was out on the lake fishing, and we were going to stop for a while, and just explore the lake. We were running out at 30-40 miles per hour. The engine wouldnt run right. It can start, turn off, but then when you put in gear, it just idles. I cleaned the gas tank, and checked the plugs. Transmission is good. What is wrong? I dont want to take it to the boat center, any advice.

LUCY: nearly all experts beleive was an unusual chimpanzee
HEIDELBERG MAN- built from a jaw bone that was conceded by many to be qutie human
NEBRASKA MAN- scientifically built from one tooth later found to be a tooth from an extinct pig
PILTDOWN MAN- jawbone from a modern ape
PEKING MAN- All evidence has disappeared!
NEANDERTHAL Man- Dr. AJE Cave said the skeleton ist hat of an old man with arthritis
NEW GUINEA MAN - dates back to 1970, species in north of AUstralia
CRO-MAGNON MAN- one of the earliest and best established fossils is at least equal in physique and brain capacity to modern man...so what's the difference?

That's every step of your evolutionary chain disporven! We end at modern man, a genius who thinks we came from a monkey.

how could 25 feet of water cover even the highest mountains? Isn't this evidence that the Flood was really just a local event and that the phrase "the world" really means "all the land in this general area"?

18 team league.
i had the 8th pick.
default yahoo! scoring.


QB - Jon Kitna, Josh McCown

RB - Willie Parker, Cedric Benson, Jerious Norwood, Anthony Thomas

WR - Larry Fitzgerald, Devery Henderson, Vincent Jackson, Wes Welker, Anthony Gonzalez, Jacoby Jones

TE - Todd Heap

K - Stephen Gostowski

DEF - NYJ




I'm hoping one of those sleeper WR's has a big first few games so i can deal and get a better backup QB or WR2 or DEF.

remember its an 18 PERSON LEAGUE!!
