I have some children's halloween costume patterns that I would like to make to fit adults. If I, for example, double or triple the pattern size, will that work, or will all the proportions be wrong? I'm a pretty inexperienced sewer, so please dumb the answers down a little!!

A couple of women were playing golf one sunny Saturday morning. The first of the twosome teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole.

Indeed, the ball hit one of the men, and he immediately clasped his hands together at his crotch, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in evident agony.

The woman rushed down to the man and immediately began to apologize. She said, "Please allow me to help. I'm a physical therapist and I know I could relieve your pain if you'd allow."

"Ummph, oooh, nnooo, I'll be all right...I'll be fine in a few minutes," he replied breathlessly as he remained in the fetal position still clasping his hands together at his crotch.

But she persisted, and he finally allowed her to help him. She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, she loosened his pants, and she put her hands inside. She began to massage him. She then asked him, "How does that feel?"

To which he replied, "It feels great, but my thumb still hurts like hell."

If you would spend 5 days at the spot of your dreams where would you go?

Why that place?

What would you do there?

I would go to Japan because i love the colture and they have cool stuff and beautiful places.

I would go to a jrock concert, buy some awsome japanese cloths and go walking among cherry blossom trees in a kimono.

why everyone's so shocked to learn that Dumbledore's gay?

I've come to realize that a lot of people speculated about his (and other characters') sexuality, which I must admit I never did - it simply didn't occur to me. (Although I must admit Aberforth stumped me - but very different subject.)

My point is: All over the internet, TV, and newspapers - even on Y!A - I see people making statements like: "She just made it up!" "Don't believe it!" "There's nothing in the books about it, and I would have noticed!"
Well, true - nowhere in the books does it say that Dumbledore is gay - however, nor does it say that he is straight! Are we really so narrow-minded that the absence of homosexual references automatically means heterosexual? Is it so farfetched to consider that Dumbledore's (or any of the professors' but Snape) sexuality isn't important to the story, and that's why it's not included? Does it matter who a hero loves? Should it?

Any reason to spend the extra $100 on a quad core? I have not read any reviews that show the advantage for a quad core.



The only real reason for a quad core would be gaming programs that have not been created yet to take advantage of the advanced mutli-threading.



The 6750 with 1333 fsb look pretty sweet. Don't see any real reasons why to go for the quad core except for the 8 mb L2 cache. I have actualy read reviews where the quad core slowed down the computer since they quad cores sometimes have to write to the HD to multi-task!
