Something's up with my dad and I can't figure it out, but maybe I'm crazy?
Okay, okay I know this is going to sound like I’m high and living out of some badly scripted movie, but I’m the paranoid type.

My dad works as a Financial Systems Analyst (fancy for accountant) for the Department of Defense. Anyway, the past few months he’s been going on a lot more business trips than usual, like three times as many. He always gives me his hotel information in case of emergencies or if I need more money in my checking account or something. So one time I needed something, I called the hotel and requested him. They had no record of him staying at the hotel. Not only that, his four day trip turned into some mysterious eight day trip… and his phone wasn’t turned on (straight to voicemail). Super creepy? Well it happened a few more times before I called his work and they assured me he was there and that he was just super busy in meetings or something (Government people…). Well, so he supposedly had a trip to San Fransisco and I called his hotel and guess what? He wasn’t there! His cell phone was on, but he wasn’t answering. I must have spent four or five hours calling every hotel in the area. ALL said he wasn’t there.

He has also been working a lot more. Usually he’s home by 4 (unless he goes out with his friends or girlfriend), but he’s been working till like 6 or 7 and not coming home till like 8. His girlfriend of 4 years broke up with him for working too much!

On top of this, about a month ago this weird 866 number kept calling. A few times I answered and it was a woman (sounded black) in a very hushed voice, distressed voice. She would ask for my father. I would say the generic "He’s not her right now, can I take a message?" She would just hang up. I called back a few times expecting some company, but it was a personal number. It was to some guy named guy, and when it went to voicemail it said that it couldn’t take anymore messages as it was full. I told my dad and he said it was probably a solicitor or bill collector (except my dad isn’t in any kind of debt). They continued to call and I would hear breathing and then the call would end. Sometimes I would answer and it would immediately end. Now the phone isn’t even in service. I haven’t heard from "them" in a week, so I was curious and tried to call them back.

On top of all that I came home yesterday to find our house a complete wreck. It was ransacked. Nothing was stolen though! The intruder had taken stuff out of drawers and closets (my neatly organized closet TRASHED!) and thew it everywhere.

I think that my dad is like a secret spy or something?! This sounds crazy, I know. But its really weird. I think that he’s maybe an assassin or something top secret. I haven’t found a secret room in our house yet (like in the movies), but IDK.

My father also brought in a lot more money than his job pays him last year. I’m really nosy about his finances, which I know are none of my business. But his salary is public record.

For 2009, a person on the General Schedule, Rank 14 (GS13), Step 3 makes a Base of 89,009. Then you have to multiple that by the local increase. For Cleveland that’s 18.16%. This comes to a little over 105,000 (this is before the taxes and stuff).

I tried telling my dad about the weird house break in, but he’s on one of his "business trips" and I’ve left numerous voicemails. He’s supposed to be back Monday, but for all I know he could be dead.

I know this sounds extremely odd, but I’m so freaking worried I packed a suitcase and am staying at a friends. I’m scared, like for real.

Could me dad be an assassin?

In the movies don’t they take the kids for hostage or they get axe murdered?? I’m only 16! I just got my first car and I want to go to college. I’m too young to die. I’m really worried about my dad =/
Why would he need to sell drugs? He makes good enough money.

His ex girlfriend is a pretty good looking lady and they had been dating for 4 years?!?

Why would his "new girlfriend" have our house ransacked?

How do you know he’s not adept or not? I don’t know, but part of having a secret life is being able to hide it!
I’m going to get axe murdered =C


One of two things:
1) Your Dad is buying and selling drugs.
2) Your Dad has a girlfriend.
3) Your Dad probably isn’t adept enough to be a assassin. (you saw too many movies!)
Brigette Z | Feb 03, 2010


awhhh its ok(: you know u might be right!!!! mabey like people offered him a higher position in his job(: call some of your family members and talk to them bout it! they might have some really good suggestions if your scared try to live with them for a while until things ease up and you know whats going on(: hope i could help(: and i hope you try to figure out what your dads really up to(:
bahamas-girl | Feb 03, 2010


If your house has been broken into, you need to call the police, if you father does work on secret information, I am sure you will be taken care of. I honestly think you are overreacting, you fathers rooms are probably not registered under his name, but through work. I would call the police and stay at your friends until your father returns. If he was an assassin, he would not be working so many hours.
V | Feb 03, 2010


wierd. i don’t know what to say…..very interesting story. until your Dady comes back, I think its best taht you stay at your friends.

then i would have a really long talk, and ask him why he is acting shady.

Mission to Mars

Mission to Mars
Mission to Mars (2000)

IMDB rating: 5.00

Plot: Commander Luke Graham is selected to lead the first manned mission to Mars. Upon setting foot on the red planet, the team discovers an ancient, domelike structure which appears to be a beacon. The dome destroys the team and leaves Luc injured. The recently widowed Jim McConnell leads the rescue mission. When they arrive, they find Lke surprisingly alive, and he has spent the time alone learning the secrets of the mysterious construct. The question now becomes: do they enter the dome and answer humanity’s oldest question, perhaps risking their lives in doing so, or return to Earth with what they do know and return in force with equipment and supplies?

Should Pres. Obama have cancelled our manned exploration of the moon?
Research and development for the 60s lunar missions created the tiny circuits and LEDs that gave us lots of advanced electronics, including computers. Is it smart to cancel a whole segment of the space program, instead of cutting back on other duplicated and wasteful government programs?

Stephen Hawkings has promoted manned exploration as uniquely human

Frankly, very few astronomers actually want to send humans back to the Moon. It’s a huge, huge waste of money with very little science involved – and now that NASA’s funding will be going to missions and people that do science with it, I’m happy about that. That’s where my funding comes from, after all.

eri | Jan 29, 2010


A new lunar mission was never started, so there is nothing to cancel. Oh, NASA wanted to go, and lots of people proposed going, but congress never appropriated the money. All new manned rocket development is targeted at servicing the space station only. So if the president said it was cut (I hadn’t heard he did, but he might have), it has no real meaning.
campbelp2002 | Jan 29, 2010


No. He’s lost my vote in 2012, and I’m a left-leaning democrat. A permanent human presence on the Moon would have been our springboard to Mars. And if you’re not interested in that, mining helium-3 would have provided a new souce of unlimited energy that would make nuclear power look like steam power. And if you don’t believe fusion reactors are in our immediate future, solar power stations at the lunar poles would have been able to beam microwave radiation to Earth, right through the clouds, and provide unlimited free energy. Turning NASA’s manned space flight to private industry? I’m all for private spaceflight, but they’ve been working on that anyway. And so far, despite lots of empty promises and glossy pictures in magazines, we’ve had TWO suborbital flights. And it will be a long, long time before private industry can reach the Moon. But China will be there in a few years. I hope Obama is watching when some Chinese Taikonaut takes down Neil Armstrong’s American flag and puts up the Chinese flag.As far back as 1997 I was seeing promises of such-and-such a spaceship offering orbital flights to passengers by 1999! Only government space organizations have so far been able to put people, or even unmanned objects, in orbit, and NASA is the only space agency in all history that has succeeded in sending humans to the Moon. On the other hand, we have the prototype CEV, we have flight tested the Ares 1, we are halfway there. To scrap all that and turn our space program over to vehicles that DON’T EXIST at a time when China is QUICKLY getting ahead is the hieght of stupidity and short-sightedness. An aggressive space program would have provided thousands of jobs, new technologies and infrastructure, medical advances, education, leadership in the world, inspiration for our kids to get into science and math, and a sense of patriotism and pride, something that has been missing for too long. Every aspect of our civilization, from cars to computers to population, EVERYTHING, is based on an exponential growth curve, and you don’t need to be a mathematical genius to see that that trend is not sustainable indefinitely. The human race is getting too big, the Earth is getting too small. Now we are a third-world country. China will colonize the Solar System while the United States sits on Earth with its pop stars and religion and astrology and new age medicine, flexing its military muscle and calling itself a superpower. Obama has destroyed our future. This is such a stupid and short sighted decision; if your budget comes up short one month, you don’t cancel your 401k.

Firefox (1982)

Plot: Mitchell Gant, once one of America’s finest fighter pilots, is recruited by NATO, despite continuing bouts with battle shock (incurred in a harrowing mission in which he was captured by the Vietcong but rescued by US Air Force choppers), for a suicide mission – Soviet Russia has developed the ultimate fighter-bomber, the Firefox. A stealth warplane capable of sustained Mach Six speeds and possessing revolutionary thought-guided weaponry, the Firefox can tip the balance of international power, and the prototype’s seat is form-fitted for just one pilot, Colonel Yuri Voskov – to whom Mitchell Gant is the only Western pilot with the identical physical build necessary for the special pressure suit worn. NATO contacts among Soviet dissidents smuggle Gant through Russia to the Red Air Force’s testing facility in southern Ukraine, where he must steal the Firefox – and escape the wrath of the world’s most powerful air-defense grid, and of a second Firefox prototype.

Avatar, The Hurt Locker, or District 9?
All 3 movies are up for best picture this year. There are others on the best picture list but right now everyone is saying that these three are the top contenders. I enjoyed Avatar and all. And it’s by far one of the most visually amazing films out there. It’s made by James Cameron after all :P However if you were to take away all of it’s visual effects it pretty much turns out to be Pocahontas/Dancing with the Wolves with blue aliens. If you’ve seen Pocahontas or Dancing with the Wolves. You’d understand what I meant by the story of Avatar being extremely cliched. Most people will think and say that Avatar should win because all a movie needs nowadays are explosions and shiny things for it to be best picture. I suppose story doesn’t matter anymore >_>

However if anyone has seen The Hurt Locker or District 9, both are visually amazing and have a gripping story that sends out powerful messages that makes the viewer connect to and think about reality and the many problems embroiling the world. Here’s a rundown of what the 3 movies are about real quick. Don’t think about the visual effects. Just totally block them out. Think about the story and pick and choose for yourself.

Avatar: Set in very distant future. Main character travels to different planet to replace brother. Becomes a Na’vi alien. Can run really fast now and do cool flips in the air. Meets female blue Na’vi. Falls in love with said Na’vi. Decides to switch sides and fight for the Na’vi, because the humans are depicted as typically greedy individuals who want to steal resources. Surprise, surprise. The aliens protect a giant tree and win even though the humans had incredible high tech weapons and ships and the main character ends up living happily ever after with the woman he loves in a feel good almost Disney esque fuzzy ending O__O

The Hurt Locker: Based on real life experiences from soldiers and journalists while over in Iraq. Soldier is sent to Iraq as apart of the EOD. An elite bomb dismantling squad. Said soldier and his team face constant death as they try their best to protect innocent civilians everyday from roadside bombs and sharp shooting snipers. No room for error because when you’re dismantling a bomb and you make a teeny little mistake you die. Each and everyday is hell for the EOD squad as the struggle to keep everything under control. In the end the main character crumbles beneath the stress of his job and doesn’t end living happily ever after even though he tries to lead a normal family life but can’t.

District 9: Based on the cultural happenings and current problems in South Africa, Tanzania, and other parts of the world where people live in extreme poverty and areas rife with crime, discrimination, hate, ignorance, meaningless violence, and elitism. Main character is at first very biased towards the aliens and sees them as nothing more then animals and scum. However through very clever character development. Irony hits him in the face, LITERALLY, and he is FORCED to become an alien. No choice is given to him. He hates what is happening to him and people begin hunting him to harvest his body parts. And see him as nothing more then a pig up for slaughter. He slowly begins to realize the hell the aliens that landed on earth on going through and connects with another alien named Christopher who has a small son who are both trying to escape back to their home planet. At first the main character is completely selfish and only wants Christopher to cure him and turn him human again. But as time passes he witnesses the brutality the aliens are suffering at the hands of everyone. And grows somewhat of a heart, not a TOTAL heart. He

Futurama: Bender’s Game

Futurama: Bender's Game
Futurama: Bender’s Game (2008)

IMDB rating: 7.40

Plot: At once a merciless skewering of all things fanboy and an extremely satisfying addition to the Futurama franchise, Bender’s Game is among the best of the animated series’ feature length adventures. The game in question is Dungeons and Dragons, and Bender wants in—only robots aren’t programmed with the necessary imagination. Naturally, Bender’s plans to develop one go completely awry and land him in an android asylum. The role-playing plotline later re-emerges—in typically convoluted Futurama fashion—via a subplot involving Professor Farnsworth’s conversion of dark matter into spaceship fuel, which created a key to a very D&D-influenced universe where our hapless heroes eventually find themselves. The alternate world storyline allows for much lampooning of fantasy tropes, with Lord of the Rings receiving the lion’s share of the tweaks. Seeing as how the writers have already devoted much of the movie’s running time to parodying Star Wars and Star Trek (and their Lego offshoots), one might think that Bender’s Game might suffer from pop-culture overload, but surprisingly, it all feels fresh and frequently funny, and the writers are wise to ground the story in their eccentric characters rather than pinballing them through an endless string of gags. The result is probably the strongest of the direct-to-DVD Futurama releases to date, and one that newcomers to the show’s cracked universe can appreciate as much as longtime fans.As with previous Futurama DVD releases, the extras come fast and furious on Bender’s Game: commentary by members of the cast and production team (including Matt Groening) is both informative and funny, while interviews with the writers and producers discuss, among other topics, the influence of Dungeons and Dragons on the series and the 3D models used in the feature. Aspiring animators might appreciate “How To Draw Futurama in 83 Easy Steps and the storyboard animatic for the first part of the story, while the “Genetics Lab” feature allows for some amusing Dr. Moreau-style cross-breeding of the characters. Recording session bloopers and a deleted scene offer their own laughs, but the most enjoyable extra must be the preview for the next Futurama feature, Into the Wild Green Yonder, which suggests a shocking development for one of the show’s regulars.

what "flavor" is formula and why does it taste so bad?
i am breastfeeding my newborn and i breastfed my daughter till she was one.. out of curiosity i tasted some formula that i had in the house(a freebie, sample) omg its gross….what is its flavor? do they make it taste this way? and why so gross..apparently its tastes yummy to babies :)


There really is no flavor to it and it’s not that it tastes good to babies, it’s just that they don’t know any different and it takes away their hunger.
Mommy to Benjamin [Born 2-26-09] | Feb 07, 2010


Formula has no flavor. It is only vitamins and nutrients that babies need. For us, we need flavor and can taste flavor where a baby does not know the difference. Baby food is pretty bland and gross as well lol.
Spoiledbrat | Feb 07, 2010


i dont know why they make it so gross, but i was feeding my baby cousin (hes 7 months) with that baby rice cereal stuff, oh man that stuff smells horrible. then he threw it on me, lol.. that was pretty bad too, but still not as bad as baby puke…ew
atv chick ;) | Feb 07, 2010


It is probably a milk flavor and should taste similar to breast milk I’d think. Can’t say I tasted any or it has been a long, long time. I doubt they really flavor it much. It should be natural.

Please explain how i would do this problem. I will give best answer 10 pts.?
Form A polynomial f(x) with real coefficients having the given degree and zeros. Ansewrs will vary depending on the choice of leading coefficients.

Degree: 4
Zeros: 3+2i; 4
Multiplicity: 2


A 4th degree polynomial means that when the factors are multiplied out, one term has an x^4. It could also have an x^3 term, x^2 term, x term, and a coefficient, but doesn’t necessarily have to have any of those.

The zeros mean that when that value is plugged in for x, the answer is zero. The easiest way to do this is to have factors of (x – 4) and (x – 3 – 2i).

A multiplicity of two means that the factor is squared. Multiplicity of three would mean the factor is cubed, etc.

Does that help?

ideas for original character names, anyone?
Well, I’m totally blanking on any original names for my characters for my creative writing schoolwork, so I thought I’d ask the opinions of all you Yahoo Answers users XD
also, your opinions of the beginning of my story would be awesome too? It’s just a first draft at the moment, like a skeleton of a beginning XD

The paint-stripped door, lit by a single thread of moonlight in the jet black night, creaked and moaned as it opened. Thorns were strewn across the path, like sadistic slithering snakes, waiting to catch you at your weakest. There was a light icy breeze, an acidic caress, pushing us further and further inside the house. Anywhere but the cold dark night. Anywhere.
