What all happened in the race today?

Denny's tire issue , losing a valve stem on the outer tire sent him back late in the race(probably rubbed another car to cause this), and Carl Edwards had lost a valve in the engine. This nearly meant engine failure. Except the team overcame that trouble by taking the engine apart to get the valve head out of the cylinder and getting the car back out on track to gain points. Years ago you would have seen this as a DNF, but with the new rules it was a great call to save as many points as possible. No one last year or before would have ripped apart the engine to accomplish say... 5-10 points. They would have taken the DNF. New system makes them be more aggressive to getting back on the track if they have problems. Which doesn't usually give the fans anything to scream about, but it makes the points race tighten up that much more with all the pressure involved. This will, in time, make fans scream for their favorite driver to "get out there" instead of the DNF.

Fantasy basketball keeper league trade help?

Make the trade and keep Lawson. You are basically trading Wall for Amar'e and Lawson. Easy decision when its 2 for 1.

Am I able to transfer colleges?

I went to Gordon college for one year, and I didn't do so well in my classes. Most of it was due to the people, and the surrounding area. I really do not want to go into detail, but I know this college is not right for me. I did not do so well my first semester, second semester I did great! But I want to transfer =/. They act as if I must have 30 credit hours to transfer. Is this technically true?

Which team has the most potential after the draft?

I'm going to say the Sacramento Kings. Jimmer, Tyreke Evans, Demarcus Cousins, Thompson, Spencer Hawes and those other good role players they have. They have a good young core and the Wizards have a good potential as well.

Funding for private college? OSAP will not cover!?

Hi :) I'd like to attend Bonnie Gordon College of Confectionary Arts however the tuition and books and tools come out to $17,000! I was going to apply to OSAP, however they do not cover this college and I'm not sure why. My mother went to a private massage therapy college and they covered it for her.... Anyway, any other means of funding you can think of? Thank you!!

ATTENTION MECHANICS: What needs to be fixed on my 95 chevy blazer?

Sounds like you have a lot of money sunk into it so far. I would say it is a computer issue with the ECU. The dealer is the most expensive place to take it, but they usually get the troubleshooting right.

My RPM Flucuate when engine gets hot?

It could be a o2 sensor only faulting at a certain temp they're very delicate so slitest change can cause it to run like that try a new set of spark plugs to because my car did that before and we ran the computer on it couldn't find the problem ne where and it was a foweled plug or your coil pack could have went bad its hard to troubleshoot a vehicle without being by it I suggest taking it to someone and having it put on a scanner not a code reader like autozone has but a good computer scanner depends on the garage some might charge twenty bucks to check it but it is very accurate that will tell u if it is the o2 sensor and if ur o2 sensor os bad your check engine light will be on.

My car runs like crap when i start it but runs almost perfect after it warms up?

I think I would check out the EGR valve, in fact in a '95, I would clean up the EGR and the passageway into the block the the EGR is attached. There is usually a build up of carbon there so you might have to use an old screwdriver and hammer to chisel the crap out.

HELP: Been all day trying to LOOSE the intake manifold--->STUCK!!?

I think what you are removing is what Haynes calls the "collector" and I called the "plenum" when I had a similar engine in my 1984 300ZX. That part sits on top of the actual intake manifold. If yours is the same the throttle body comes up with the plenum, and lifting repeatedly on the throttle body with your hands should loosen it eventually.

Ford focus idles at 4500 rpms?

I just bought the car. I have had the MAF sensor checked changed the TPS the throttle body is closed like it is suppose to be. Throttle cable is not caught anywhere. Air filter is clean. I just can't figure out what is causing it. Although I'm not too sure where all of the vacuum lines are but I'm working on that with the help of my chiltons book. Any input would be appreciated.

Whats wrong with my car?

Ok, last month my car started acting funny. It would drive fine through the city, but as soon as I got on the expressway the RPM gauge would shoot up to 3-4000 RPM, buck/jerk then return to normal. It would only do that on the expressway, then it started to do it a little on the street, not the jerk/bucking part, just the RPM would go up. I got a transmission flush, that didn't help at all. So I took it to another shop, they pulled the code P1702, and said I need a new transmission. I don't think that I do, it changes gears just fine, no jerking of gears, no hard shifting. So I picked it up, brought it home, called the place where I got the fluid change, they picked it up, and said I need a transmission(I STILL DON'T THINK SO!!). The first place, they wanted $2200, and the place where I got the fluid change wanted $1600...money that I do not have at all, I can't even get a loan, so that's not going to happen. So, I finally took it to a guy who said it it the TPS sensor, he changed that, and now it's worse than ever! I know I will probably get some responses telling me that I need a new car, which I can't afford, and I will probably get some jerk calling me an idiot because I didn't listen to the 1st shop I took it to, but as long as I get an answer I don't care(besides I can always flag the jerks). Someone (with sense) please help. I have a 2000 Ford Contour 2.5L with 183K miles.

Are you Happy or Upset that Barbara Gordon is going to be Batgirl again?

I'm upset! Oracle plays a pretty big role in everything and she has a interesting history. It's strange to think that she can just be taken away! I like Steph, I think she makes a good Batgirl and she has the storyline for it. It's strange to think she can just be taken away, too! I think this reboot is going to confuse me until I actually see it. And what about Damian!? They just created him not too long ago, is he just not going to exsist anymore? What are the storylines going to be about when none of the people are around anymore!? It all puts me in a tizzy :)

Anybody know the song by GACKT?

So I heard a song on pandora by GACKT. I really liked it but I didn't get to glance at the title. It sounded kinda like an opera song.. Maybe like an italian carnival. I can't explain it. Anybody have any idea what it was?

Can anyone help with a running problem I am having with my 1989 Firebird?

My Firebird (1989, V6, 2.8L) has had a running problem lately, and I can't figure out what it is. I've heard MAF, TPS, and EGR, to this point. The MAF was just fixed and it ran better, but was still not running well. It has been dying while idle if I do not rev the engine, even at red lights, and this includes idling rough. It does start back easily, though. It also will jerk while driving down the road, particularly going uphill and trying to maintain speed or speed up. (Note: I thought at one point it may be the transmission because of the jerking while accelerating, but I had that checked and the transmission is in great shape.) Does anyone have any ideas as to what could cause this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Boyfriend advice please? (guys and girls welcome)?

Okay so lately when my boyfriend and I have been going out, annoying stuff has been happening. One time we were waiting to cross a street and a car full of teenage guys (my boyfriend and I are both 18) was driving by and they yelled "is she your sister?". Another time, we were getting gas and two guys at the gas station (at a pump a few rows away) waved at us. They looked kind of familiar so I hesitantly waved back and glanced away. When I looked back at them, one was holding up his phone and pointed to it and then to me. After both these instances, I blushed and my boyfriend looked rather dejected and was really quiet for the next several minutes. I don't really get it though. I mean, I think he is hotter than I am (and I tell him that he's hot and that I'm lucky to be with him) yet he doesn't really believe me/think he is good enough for me. What can I do to cheer him up/help with the situation/show him that if anything, I'm the one who is not good enough? Because while the attention has been a little ego boost for me (I'm only human), I really want my boyfriend to know that I'm his and I'm lucky to be his. Sorry for writing a novel on this and thanks in advance!!

When a woman seems to get a sudden high when realizing you're looking at her, she definitely likes you right?
