And that’s when you met me. “What… what happened?” “You died,” I said, matter-of-factly. “There was a… a truck and it was skidding…” “Yup,” I said. “I… I died?” “Yup. You looked around. “More or less,” I said. “Are you god?” “Yup,” I replied. “My kids… my wife,” you said. “What about them?” “Will they be all right?” “That’s what I like to see,” I said.

Does She Love You? by Pasha Malla Have a question? Need some advice? Ignored by everyone else? Send us your questions via email. The Non-Expert handles all subjects and is updated on Fridays, and is written by a member of The Morning News staff. Question: How do I know if a girl loves me or not? Answer: If one night you go out drinking and end up back at her place, pass out together on the bed with your shoes on, and wake up a few hours later only to discover that you’ve peed the bed, which she takes in stride, changes the sheets, and then the next morning has a laugh about it, later leaves some pamphlets from the local health clinic about child bedwetters in your mailbox, and eventually after a few weeks tells your friends but never, ever tells hers: She loves you. If she knows what song is coming next on the mix CD you made her: She loves you. If she calls you at work that day to ask, “How are those shoes working out?” If you’re Gael García Bernal: She loves you. If she dances with your friends: She loves you.

Can i play my ps3 through my computer Two ways you can do this. #1, the best way, is for your pc monitor to be HDCP-compliant. This is the encryption code used by HDTV, and the ps3 uses it for all HDMI output. You can't output vga from the ps3, or input component to a monitor, so it's gotta be HDMI. Check your monitors specs and if it is HDCP-compliant, and has dvi or hdmi input, you can use your ps3 on it. #2) a video capture card. NOTE: You can't convert HDMI to vga, because one is digital and the other is analog.

Hang on, my love, and grow big and strong It took nine months for Iggy Pop to reply to then-21-year-old Laurence's fan letter, but really the timing couldn't have been more perfect as on the morning his thoughtful note did arrive at her home in Paris, Laurence's family were being evicted by bailiffs. Laurence recalls that moment back in 1995: "By the time I finished I was in tears. Iggy's empathetic, handwritten response addressed Laurence's problems with both grace and eloquence, and really can't be praised enough. Transcript follows. (Source: Laurence; Image: Iggy Pop, via.)
