did the movie romper stomper have any references to AFL?


Of course it did, it had me kicking goals at the local oval.

Didn’t you see that bit, I was kicking goals from all sorts of angles, that’s when the talent scout from Coburg Tigers asked me if I wanted to play with Tony Locketts son at Coburg, Come on you must of seen that part of the movie it was the best bit.

Children’s museum will give little ones a view from on high
12.10.09

When Haizlip Studio began designing rooms and exhibits for the Children’s Museum of Alamance County last year, it met with numerous interest groups here to gather ideas about what it would include in the 14,000-square-foot museum.

The most important of those focus groups were made up of children 2 to 10 years old — the group they were designing for.

“Over and over again, they kept hearing children say they wanted a place where they could be up high and look down on everything,” says Phoebe Harman, the museum’s board director.

Haizlip Studio’s solution is the Overview Climber — a tier that towers over three-fourths of the museum.

Two suspended climbing platforms that resemble plant stems and leaves sit at each end of the platform. But it’s what’s included on the museum’s second level that ties it into the educational themes anchoring the $3.8-million facility planned for downtown Graham in 2011.

* Windows along its length allow children to see out into the museum’s playground and courtyard.

* Multiple winding hearing tubes let them experiment with the way sound travels — an updated take on the tin-can telephones of old.

* Overlooks, peepholes and portholes allow them to see the museum’s exhibits and rooms from above.

* Periscopes teach children about optics and mirrors and let them see things from even more illuminating angles.

* Other educational activities and games will be placed along the catwalk.

Want to contribute?

The children’s museum needs a total of $3.9 million to open and $2 million to break ground. Including a $1 million matching pledge from the Hayden-Harman Foundation, the museum has raised $1.9 million so far. The museum’s Building Bucks campaign hopes to encourage all Alamance County children to give $2 toward the museum.

To find out more, or to donate, go online to www.childrensmuseumofalamance.org or call 228-7997. Tax deductible donations can be mailed to: Children’s Museum Building Bucks, PO Box 1178, Graham, NC 27253. Donors’ names will be printed in the Times-News on Nov. 1.

Directors: Wong Kar Wai

Actors: Law Jude,Strathairn David,Leguillow Hector A.,Bynum Nate,Davis Chad R.,Dee Trent,Falk Geoff,Hollis Bill,Kanes Benjamin,Pipkin Miller,Seaberry Markus,Walker Kenon,Drama,Romance,

Why do I eat healthy all day and at night eat a big dinner?
Today this is what I ate:
Breakfast- 2 Blueberry waffles with butter and syrup, glass of milk.
Lunch- Salad and a water.
**Dinner- 2 Chicken patties on a bun with ketchup, corn, a bottle of water.

Is this bad? How can I stop eating less?
Yes I mean how do I stop eating so much?
I really can’t do 5 small meals .. I’m in school =/


Do you mean stop eating more?…You probably ate too small a lunch and became very hungry for dinner. You could split your meals into 5 mini meals to avoid the hunger monster at night.
Chuck | Nov 17, 2009


i think CHUCK is right.
if you want to lose weight please avoid ketchup!! not healthy at all!!
try some salad and tuna at night.
and yes, i think ur dinner wasnt that good.
Do what chuck tells you, several small meals can help avoid the hunger monster :P
mArgs | Nov 17, 2009


from the description i dont think you eat too much but you also dont eat to little.

this isnt bad. maybe its part of ur genes or sumthing.

if you want to keep eating less thats fine but maybe eat a little more often.you can snack in between on things like crackers. or instead of 3 full meals, try 5 small snacks everyday.

How do you clean a military "mummy" sleeping bag?
I have a mummy bag that smells and the tag is wore off.
Does it need to be dry cleaned or can I just throw it in washer?
Thanks


You can machine wash it, but I would air-dry it. The shell is nylon, if I remember correctly, so I wouldn’t put it into the dryer. Dry cleaning wouldn’t be bad, just a little pricy, IMO.

Silly me | Nov 26, 2006


our supply always just machine washed our sleeping bags, but let it air dry.. If it smells horrible throw in some vinegar in the wash and it will smell great when it comes out…

Am I in really in love with my bestfriend? Do yu think she feels the same?
I think about her like every second. I fall asleep with her on my mind. When ever we text, her texts make me smile. When ever I think about her I get this tingly feeling in my stomach, that won’t seem to go away. I even felt that tingly feeling when she hugged me cause she was cold Lol. I think she’s the most beautiful amazing girl ever! Well I never felt this way about anyone, but something about her has got me hooked on her. we always say goodmorning to eachother&&basically everyday we say I love yu,but she always says I love yu babe, or yu to babe or of course not lover&good morning lover. also she said i miss yu too baby&good morning babe. Like she also adds :) after it so its so cute. I feel like we’re in some kind of relationship because we’re always saying stuff like that to each other. Whenever I receive those texts I start to smile&blush&I feel that tingly feeling in my stomach. When ever we chill we always are so close, like she laid her head on my shoulder&she nearly knocked me over when she hugged me&we hug goodbye. plus she stepped on my foot so it kinda hurt,then i told her&she offered to kiss it better. one time she asked me to suck her toe,but I didn’t. She also asked me to touch her leg&stomach. in both cases she took my hand&put it on her stomach&her leg. Idk ,but I really think I love her. Obviously I’m a girl,so I think I’m bi-sexual. I just dunno if she is.
What should I do???? Please help me&&give me some adviceee! :)


With that kind of contact and feeling I would say you bi or maybe even lesbian… if you have never felt that with a guy before than yeah your probably a lesbian. but i would just go for it see how she feels maybe not directly like " I love, love you do you?" but something like "What do you think about dating a girl like just make it an open question with no strings attached then if shes like well…. you no the answer. but just don’t rush in to it.. and trust me on this, i feel the same way right now about 2 people its common also if your like 14 15 years old give it time you could just be confused.

havoksangel1221 | Nov 14, 2009


Just ask her, most probably she won’t, sadly enough.
Because not many bestfriends, of the same sex, fall in love and have a realtionship.

Help me with the tone and diction of this passage, please! :( Its from the Great Gatsby.?
This passage is from "The Great Gatsby" and during this Nick is talking to his cousin Daisy at her house. This is after Tom was on the phone with his love affair, Myrtle, and Daisy went to ‘interrupt’ him. I’m confused as to how to find the tone as well as the diction in this passage. I’m more familiar with tone, but I have absolutely no idea how to find diction! :\ I need to write a literary analysis paragraph with these two devices. Please help! Here’s the passage:

"Daisy took her face in her hands as if feeling its lovely shape, and her eyes moved gradually out into the velvet dusk. I saw that turbulent emotions possessed her, so I asked what I thought would be some sedative questions about her little girl.

Can you help me understand this…?
If you have a right to healthcare, should you not then have a right to food, shelter, and clothing?

What good is Healthcare without food? If you can’t eat you die.
What good is Healthcare without shelter? If you can’t get in out of the rain you may die of hypothermia.
What good is Healthcare without clothing? If you can’t stay warm you die.

So when does it end? If you think you have a right to all this who pays for it? Eventually the rich will run out of money won’t they?

If the rich runs out of money then who’s next, middle class?

If the middle class runs out of money who’s next?

Isn’t a right something must be exercised through your own initiative and action? It is not a claim on others. A right is not actualized and implemented by the actions of others. This means you do not have the right to the time in another person

Anybody seen the movie "deadgirl"? Not "the dead girl" with Brittany Murphy…?
I heard about a movie called "Deadgirl" about a group of boys who find a passed out girl or a zombie or something chained up and they gang rape her. At first I was so horrified, but I was researching online and I read comments that it’s supposed to be a sort of commentary about black and white areas, vs gray areas.

So now I’m all confused. Is this just more torture porn, or is there some sort of meaning to it? If anybody’s seen it, I’d love to know what you think.


Oh my, I just did a bit of research on this film. Wow disturbing is an understatement. I would not call it "torture-porn" (a term I hate anyway since neither real porn or torture ever occurs in any of the films we give this label to) . It seems to be more of a The Last House on the Left (original not lousy remake) meets Night of the Living Dead meets a Larry Clark film. That’s all based on reviews I read and various plot synopsis. I have no doubt this film will bother me in the same way Last House did so I am nervous to even begin looking for it. Although it has not been picked up for distribution yet anyway.
This does seem to be much more than just your average horror, this seems closer to the real deal, what we used to get in the 70’s and 80’s. Even the idea of of this film disturbs me. It is about a zombie (or at least zombie type girl, they never actually call her a zombie but all the zombie traits are there) that these boys do chain up and rape and it gets so much worse from there. It has only been at the Toronto Film Fest so not many people will have seen it.

Plot: This is a gentle, innocent film about the reflections of an aging man (David Morse), who returns to his home town after the death of his best friend. Memories of life at age 11 floods back as it was a magical time that changed his life. Three 11 year old children (Anton Yelchin as Bobby, Mika Boorem as Carol, and Will Rothaar as Sully) share their lives. Carol & Bobby have a special affection for one another including sharing a kiss “by which all others will be measured”. Bobby lives with his mother (Hope Davis), a bitter, vain woman who looks for pleasures for herself without sharing much with her son. Into their lives comes a mysterious new boarder (Anthony Hopkins), who befriends the boy but generates distrust from the mother. As time passes, the man and boy share confidences and special powers are revealed. The man warns the boy to be on the lookout for the “lowmen”, who were seeking him. The two share a summer’s adventures and come to love one another before the inevitable happens. A confrontation with a school bully (Timothy Reifsnyder) also changes everyone.

Amigos and Amigas de Mexican footbal section….?
I have been answering and asking questions since May 23, 2008 (THIS IS MY SECONG ACCOUNT I USED TO BE OSCAR S). The reason I signed up to Y/A answers was because those days I was severely heart broken and was going thrue many problems(THOUGHT ABOUT SUICIDE) and I nedded to get my mind of it. Well lots of things have happend since those days and now I can say that im 100% out of love and 100% happy and starting a new part of my life and I thank you guys for helping me get through it, u guys are like my cyber bros. This section is so much fun. With all the Invasions, haters, Liga Fantastica competions, jokes, fake IDs this has been a really fun section.

Well all I got to say is GRACIAS AMIGOS!

BQ) You think Mexico can go to the 5th game next year in the World Cup?
ohh and Aguila14
LMAO(4 real) @ Carlos


Orale good to know we were of some help without knowing Bro.

I hear you I signed up to stay busy because i had too much time in my hands and well i’m not the type of person who can be in one spot too long. So i tend to get into a lot of trouble when i have too much time in my hands. This section is pretty cool, I specially like when everyone starts having strong debates about players and teams.

Just remember one thing, nothing is worth your life, keep your head in the things you enjoy. I don’t know anyone who has not been heart broken at least once in their life. I’m not too old to give advice but all i can tell you is that everyone has a partner in life, some of us take a long time to find that person and is better to be patient. I’m 26 years old and single. I spent about 4 years by myself but now i have someone who i love very much eventhough I don’t tell her that, I do. My player days were great but I found the one person who made my heart stop and it topped all the other girls i had met in the past. You’ll get there is just a matter of time and trust me when the day comes you won’t even notice until you wake up one day, and you will realize "wow i can’t see myself without this person" it is then when you will feel yourself complete. Be patient and why not if you are single now, play a little while don’t jump into another relationship right away. Your time will come.

Yes mexico will make it to the 5th game this world cup I can feel it.
