how likely is it that i will get into universty to study medicine with as level chemistry?
i would like to study medicine at university. i am currently doing my a levels but unfortunately i did not pick chemistry and i think it is too late to start chemistry now because the first exam is in 2 weeks or so. i am doing biology as and will take it to a2. i found four universities that say they will accpet chemistry at as if you have biology to a level. these universities are, newcastle, king’s college, queen mary, and imperial. i am aware that these are all top universities. how likely is it that i will gain admission into any of these universities in comparison to those with a level chem. should i apply with as and then if i dont get in take a gap year to do a level chemistry and then apply. or should i just take a gap year and apply? please anwer as soon as possible .. this is urgent


If those universities say that they will accept AS chemistry if you have biology then I daresay you’re in with a chance. However you will be at a serious disadvantage as chemistry is usually the only absolute necessity for medicine (along with generally at least 2 out of biology, physics or maths). Also you’ve only mentioned biology, what are your other choices?

My advice would be to apply anyway but to be aware that you may not get accepted. If you don’t then you can take a year out, get chemistry and reapply.

Astronaut Farmer, The
Astronaut Farmer, The (2006)

IMDB rating: 6.60

Plot: Texan Charles Farmer left the Air Force as a young man to save the family ranch when his dad died. Like most American ranchers, he owes his bank. Unlike most, he’s an astrophysicist with a rocket in his barn - one he’s built and wants to take into space. It’s his dream. The FBI puts him under surveillance when he tries to buy rocket fuel; the FAA stalls him when he files a flight plan - it’s post-9/11, after all. His wife is angry when she finds out their bank is initiating foreclosure. Charlie fears failure and decides, precipitously, to launch. Are twenty-first century American dreams just a sign of insanity? Are those who believe in dreamers only fools?

Was there really an astronaut farmer?


Ir is just a movie.
Charles Farmer is a former astronaut-in-training who was discharged from the military before he could fulfill his dream of becoming a vital part of NASA. Having missed the opportunity to travel into space, he decides to build a replica of the historic Mercury-Atlas in the barn on his secluded ranch in the fictional town of Story, Texas, using all his assets and facing foreclosure as a result. When he begins making inquiries about purchasing rocket fuel, the FBI and FAA step in to investigate, and the ensuing publicity thrusts Farmer into the spotlight and makes him a media darling. The USA Patriot Act is blamed for allowing a search of his property without a court order, though there is no evidence this act ever affected private space development.

Farmer’s first launch is delayed by endless red tape created by government officials, who seek to stall him beyond his deadline to foreclose on the farm. Farmer is denied the fuel he wishes, which would be liquid hydrogen. His ranch facing financial ruin, he panics and somehow launches his rocket before it is ready and without the proper fuel. His rocket falls over and horizontally blasts out of an old wooden barn. (An overlooked technical flaw is that no wooden barn could possibly survive the thousand+ degree heat and blast of a rocket.)

Farmer nearly dies with head trauma and other injuries after his capsule is thrown from the rocket. Spectators and their vehicles are nearly crushed. During the months he spends recuperating, public interest in his project wanes, and when he recovers sufficiently to start anew, he is able to do so in relative privacy with the support of his wife Audrey, his son Shepard, and daughters Stanley and Sunshine. An inheritance left by his father-in-law Hal allows him to settle all his debts and finance reconstruction of his rocket which he succeeds in launching. As officials from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are arresting his one lone illegal-alien farmhand, the rocket rises out of the barn. After orbiting Earth nine times, he returns safely.

remoserjr107 | Oct 13, 2009


No,that was a fictional character created in a movie-it could never happen in real life. It takes a team of scientists and technicians to launch a spacecraft at NASA-you think a farmer can build one in his barn?
Alion | Oct 13, 2009


Sorry but No there was not a Astronaut Farmer, it was a good movie, but just a movie thought up by some one thought up and Holly Wood made a picture of a Farmer that wanted to go into space.

It is possible that something could happen just like that, one day a show, the next year some one has don it.

is there 4 figures of speech in this poem?
As the sun falls slowly behind the trees,
a dark blanket follows in equal speed.
like a spell has been cast to vanquish the light,
the morning now seeps into the night.

As if a law was set in stone,
the moon will rise to seize its throne,
trailed by his stars for knights and gaurds,
surrounded by royal black gardens and court yards.

Within that black shadows will rome,
seeking the darkness which is their home.
creatures and creeps will rustle and sigh,
some will take flight, some will run and hide.

But with every victory, there comes a loss,
and soon the light and dark will cross.
the sun will return in with its rays of fire,
forceing the moon to submit and retire.

And though no blood is really shead,
the sky fades from blue, to purple, then red.
an endless war as it may seem,
but night will return; prepare to dream.


Yes. It’s rife with metaphor and personification

Nikon D5000 or D90 for self portraits.?
Basically, i’m buying a new SLR and i need to know exactly which ones better for ME. I want the following: Amazing image quality and sharpness. Great detail. basically everything a good SLR should provide. However, I need a camera that i can take great self portraits with, which is where the D5000’s swivel screen comes in handy. I’ve seen samples of the D90s work on flickr, and it looks better than that of the D5000. I’m a photoshop wiz, so if its editing please just say so.

I guess what i’m asking is, which camera is better for the money
the D90
or the D5000

(i already know about the LCDs, the autofocus moter lacking, i just need to know which takes the better, sharper, more detailed and vibrant pictures.)


Both are good camera but personally I prefer Nikon D90. Picture out of it are sharp and colors are true.
PS | Feb 02, 2010


Both have very close to the same insides and both can create great images. The D5000 having on auto focus motor in the camera body is not a big deal. There are many lenses available and more coming.

You know about the movable swivel LCD but I have to say since you mentioned wanting to shoot "self portraits" then that LCD get positioned so you can see your self-portrait poses.

Hope this helps.

Mark
Mark | Feb 02, 2010


the d90 is a better deal and the quality of the photos is impressive. resolution is up there with the nikons costing thousands more, autofocus and exposure dead-on. the d90 also has many pro features.

maybe the d5000 is a bit easier but in the long run a serious photographer is better off w the d90

Why is there a perception that casual sex or NSA sex is so common?
I really don’t see where and how casual sex or NSA is so common? People seem to claim it is really common. It just isn’t as common as it seems to be in the press and media.

If an average healthy, well presented male stands in a bar for an hour, it is pretty unlikely that a attractive woman will approach him, chat to him and then suggest " oh would you like to be my regular f__buddy for the the next few months" This is a very very rare event if ever to occur.

Even the other way around if an average guy approaches an attractive woman in a bar, the chance of him being able to even suggest being a f__ buddy without being punched or laughed at is very very small.

Sex always has some sort of string attached. Like the two people need to find each other attractive surely.


I think it depends on the circles you’re in. Among college students casual sex is pretty common for some groups. But not for others. You’re also not figuring in copious amounts of alcohol.
Liz S | Feb 06, 2010


It generally is very common, but people don’t advertise. Usually it develops from a friendship or just someone you know who you find desirable that either you meet up with somewhere (like at a party).

In bars, you can find a one night stand, but you’re right, that rarely eventuates into a casual sex partner, and usually stays more of a once of. If both people enjoy it enough, they may stay in touch or go further into dating, casual sex partner, a relationship.
Generally though, if you have sex the first time you see someone it wont go very far.

Girls i find are more likely to have trouble with not associating feelings with sex, though it’d be hardly fair to say none can.

In bars it more progresses from greeting > talking > flirting > dancing > hooking up and maybe at the end of the night going home together, this order can change a lot, but it’s basically the same.
It does require most often from either sex, that they find the other person attractive and often more, like find them funny or interesting in some other way, though that depends. If they are both looking for sex, maybe a person they find attractive interested in them may be enough to progress to that.

They are sent to Italy where they distinguished themselves in numerous battles.

Has anyone else seen "city of rott" Animated Zombie movie…..AWESOME!!!!!?
The BEST all time animated ZOMBIE horror movie Ive even seen, the maker F. Sudol is making another one soon to be released. I was wondering if anyone out there had a suggestion on any other animated horror flicks similar. Serious or comedy.. either way. I saw that movie not even knowing what it was and Im hooked. My favorite genre of film already is anything Zombie, so when I saw that it was an animated zombie movie I was so happy.
Its very ironic about Dead Fury coming out next week, Id say its been over a year since I had seen City of rott, and I have no idea what reminded me of it, but I decided to look to see if F Sudos next movie was out yet. Back when I first watched City of Rott I founf out there was going to me another release from F Sudol from the best possible source, F Sudol himself……. I had emailed him via his website just to give him a Kudos on the greaat movie and he emailed me back to tell me there would be another release. I totally forgot about it, then out of nowhere I remembered that. I couldnt remember the name of the movie at the time so I typed " Old man zombie movie" or something to that effect and found it. Anyway I cant wait to see it. If its anywhere near as good as City of Rott Its already got my thumbs up!!!


…I have seen it, and it was one of the most outrageous imdependent horror films, that I’d ever seen; I am very much looking forward to this filmmaker’s next animnated horror opus, entitled, "Dead Fury", and it’s coming out next week!!!

…outside of the massive number of Japanese horror anime titles, and perhaps maybe 1980’s "Heavy Metal", there really hasn’t been anyone, at least here Stateside, that has explored the potential of outright horror animation (…besides F. Sudol). Perhaps, this is something that has yet to see the light of discovery, in some time to come…..

….being a devoted zombie movie fan, myself over the years, I have found many obscure and undiscovered jewels within the realm and bowels of the independent film venue. Let me throw some of the more interesting titles at you; perhaps, there are some, which you have not seen (…creatively, some of the maverick filmmakers of the films, which I am about to mention, are absolute madmen, and potentially dangerous creative forces to be reckoned with)…

….1994’s "Shatter Dead"
….1993’s "Darkness"
….2004’s "Bone Sickness"
….2000’s "Meat Market" (…and the same year’s "Meat Market 2"; there’s a third "Meat Market", which got very, very limited release, and is very difficult & expensive to find)
….1999’s "Zombie Doom" (…aka "Violent Shite III: Infantry of Doom")
….1997’s "Premutos: Lord of the Living Dead"
….and of course, filmmaker Todd Sheets’ underground cult zombie trilogy, "Zombie Bloodbath"…

Why Is It That The Band In 2010 Is Nowhere Near As Big A Ratings Draw As The N.W.O Was In 1996?
Do you think it is because most wrestling fans in 1996 actually cared about Scott Hall and Kevin Nash so they abandoned the WWE in huge numbers and tuned in to see what they were going to do in WCW, where in 2010 it is a different story because in 2010 most wrestling fans do not give a flying phuck about what Scott Hall and Kevin Nash are going to do in TNA hence why the January 4th, 2010 episode of Impact did nowhere near as good rating as the May 1996 episode of Nitro where Scott Hall asked WCW if they wanted a war.

Back in 1996 Scott Hall was actually relevant in the wrestling world where in 2010 Scott Hall definitely is not relevant anymore.

The N.W.O in 1996 was actually something new and groundbreaking for the wrestling industry, where The Band in 2010 is just old rehashed recycled trash. The bookers in TNA are too lazy to come up with some fresh new creative ideas, so they gave us The Band.


I believe you have answered your own question.

You won’t be traumatized by either one, but my advice is to spend your money on something better. Both of those movies are inferior attempts at cashing in on a very funny original.
