I used to have this dream from the age of 9-16, that the mountain behind my house would turn into a HUGE tidal wave, and stay suspended mid-air. I would just stare at it from my bedroom window, while it remained overhead. What might it have meant?
I was never scared, either. Just mesmerized.

Well I’m in Belleville Michigan (Wayne county), and we’re getting flood and tornado warnings. Well all of my family is since we all live in Milan, Plymouth, and cities around that. I was just wondering if you were getting storms, warnings or anything like that, wherever you are. I understand if I don’t get a lot of answers because most people are taking cover. Please no rude comments, I’m just curious and wondering if that is happening to states around Michigan. And if you are getting any bad weather, I hope you get through it safely, as well as your friends and family.

I have a lot of experience adding on and troubleshooting PC’s and stuff. I know what components to buy and pretty much everything from overclocking to modding, but tomorrow will be the first time I will actually assemble a PC from scratch. Here are my specs:
Computer Specifications
- AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
- (x2) [SLI] PNY nVidia GeForce GTS 250 1GB GDDR3
- 4GB (2x2GB) OCZ Black Edition PC3-12800 DDR3 1600Mhz RAM
- Asus M4N98TD Evo nForce 980a AM3 SLI Motherboard
- Western Digital Black Caviar 1TB 7200RPM 32MB Cache HDD
- Corsair 850TX 850 Watt Power Supply
- Raidmax Hurricane ATX Mid-Tower Case
- LiteOn x24 DVD/CR+/- Drive
- CoolIt Eco A.L.C. CPU Cooler (Liquid Cooling)
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Basically, where should I start? Should I mount the motherboard in the case first and put everything in from there? Or should I install the CPU and RAM first and then mount the motherboard? Should the CPU installation be where the CPU will simply fall into the socket if installed correctly? Since the CPU is AM3 Socket and the motherboard is as well, will installing the CPU the wrong way will not POST but not damage any pins on the CPU? Thanks for answering all these questions =D

So I live in South FL and have 2 tanks (a 10gallon and a 65gallon) very happy and well set up. But I had never thought about how to protect them in case of a hurricane. When a hurricane threatens, I usually go up north with my cat and my bird, but what do I do with the fishies? Also, the power goes out in my area, every time a hurricane comes, so the filter wouldn’t be working for at least two days until I can come back and connect it to a generator. Any ideas, I’m kinda clueless here. Thanks

In the wake of the outreach for donations from entities such as Yahoo for Pakistan it made me wonder what other countries have donated during our floods in California, the mid west and during times like Katrina or even during the September 11 attacks?

Here are the averages listed on the usgs website:

8.0+ = 1
7.0+ = 15
6.0+ = 134

How far over this would we have to go before you personally would consider it strange or unusual?
MKultra—thanks, but surely someone here on the earth sciences & geology section will know about the usgs (U.S. Geological Survey).
Hmm…Actually I see now that I was being too vague. Those are the average number of earthquakes that occur worldwide per year according to the USGS.

Every since I was a very young girl I had dreams that seems to come true. For example (I had a dream my cousin was shot in the head, and in reality he was shot in the head) I was about 7 years old at that point I am now 23. To make a long story short lots of my dreams come true almost all of them but they usually happen a little different. For example, Death doesn’t always mean death it could mean something will be tooking from me or will disappear. But my cousin got shot in the head in my dream and shot in the head in real life months after I dreamed it… I also daydream vivid pictures and signs that comes true

However, lately I dream that the moon falls out of the sky and it cuts off my air but after awhile I breath again. Lastnight I had the same dream and it almost happened the same way expect it betrays like the world is at a end, and I’m holding my two kids telling them how much I love them. I decide to run to the door to see what’s happening and I see the moon falling. I try to rush back to my kids and it feels like force is pulling me and my air cuts off again. Somehow I excape the held force and make it back to my kids and I decided to hold them until death. But instead I guess the moon lands and causes a great earthquake. Once the earthquake stop we are still alive and I look out the window and see many dead bodies. Its daytime in the dream but its filled with darkness like the sun had stopped shinning.

Can someone please help me????????

I am doing a report for my forensics class and I need to read Fault Line by Sarah Andrews, but I unfortunately do not have the time to read it. Instead, is there a website that has a plot summary of the book besides sparknotes, since they do not have one. Or if anyone has read the book and knows what happens, that would be extremely helpful.

We have an Engineering project at school and it requires us to read seismographs and contour maps. Could anyone please give us basic guidance on how to do this, and tell us how the scale can be found as we have to find the depth of the contour lines.

Thank you so much in advance.

I have had three dreams where I am in Hawaii and there are tidal waves. My fiance and I had the same dream where we were standing on a mountain and a big wave came and then a second larger wave came and wiped out everything. What could this mean??

Society is seeking to destroy itself and mother nature is striking back from the centuries of abuse we have given her. The authorities, governments, organizations wring their hands and say "how dreadful, we must do something about this" but then turn to solve other problems and invest monies in things such as the war on terrorism. Rather then worrying about how other people see the world and their faith, how about we leave them alone and put in a genuine effort to fix the problems plaguing our Earth! In the end the economy, the different way people view religion, right and wrong and morality; matter not at all when our world is dead, drained of basic resources such as food and oxygen and most of our population lay decimated. Harsh words, and possibly dramatic. Do you honestly believe mother nature is not beginning to strike back and fix the balance? Tsunamis, earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanoes; the incidence of these things is on the rise- without giving mention to the corrupt state of our governments and the power plays there in, the decline of society and the undermining of humanities faith, whether that be the christian god, buddha or any other faith. Please, does anyone out there see my point of view? You, me, the next door neighbor? Give it 100 years and we’ll be dead so what do we really matter? Humanity is only one species on this Earth, and its only us that says we are the superior beings. The Earth is not for us alone, but for all life. Lets say damn the oil companies, damn the mining companies and all the other big companies that buy our governments and corrupt our civilization for their own ends because if we continue the way we are; your dollar isn’t going to get you a damn thing! Damn the economy and save the environment!

My 15 year old cousin is the typical stubborn type of girl you see on the Maury show on Saturdays , she refuses to listen to anyone and on top of that she hangs out with these ghetto thug gang banging wannabes who talk her in the doing pretty much anything.
Today she came in my room pleading for help ,telling me that she was pregnant and needed money for some type of abortion pill, I’m completely fed up with this crap because I’m 19 and I’m already working 24/7 because of this economy , and the last thing my parents need is some hard headed teen in the house , and trust me she will do this again she’s not even in high school yet so this is only the beginning. How do we go about sending her somewhere? We’ve tried the police before and they were no help at all they only offer 30 day programs at juvenile centers then your child comes back ten times worse ,we’ve sent her to one of these 30 day programs before only to find out she was escaping out from the windows and through a drug test found out she was sniffing coke with one of her friends out on the streets in Miami , She was sent to haiti to live with a relative and of course a couple months later the earthquake hit ,and boarding schools are up to 4,000 a month when my mom can barely pay for the mortgage..
You would think in this economy things wouldn’t be so expensive

I’m planning a trip to the DR in September.

I checked the National Hurricane Center website to see if they predict any Hurricanes for September, but all it says is this season will be an "Active Atlantic Hurricane Season." It doesn’t give any specific dates.

So I’m wondering how far in advance can they predict a hurricane?
