Where did Dana scully's baby go?

William, born in Hot Springs, Georgia, is the son of Dana Scully and Fox Mulder. Scully named him after Mulder's father as well as her own father. He can be seen in Existence, Nothing Important Happened Today, Nothing Important Happened Today II, Trust No 1, Provenance, Providence, Improbable and William. There has been a lot of discussion in the fan-world about William's conception. Prior to his birth, Scully was left barren when her ova were taken during her abduction years before. When Dr. James Parenti told her she'd have a good chance getting pregnant with artificial insemination, she asked Mulder to be the donor. He agreed, but the experiment failed. Scully did get pregnant shortly afterward so some people believe the insemination did work after all. There are also people who believe William was conceived through a sexual relation between Mulder and Scully. Shadowman informed Scully that he knew how she invited Mulder to her bed one lonely night. Also in All Things we see Scully leaving Mulder's bedroom after she obviously spent the night there. When Mulder and Scully discovered that Dr. Parenti was contributing towards experiments to create babies that seemed alien but were actually cloned hybrids, they are afraid that William might not be human. The experiments were part of an effort to ensure humanity's survival from imminent alien colonization and had originally been initiated under orders from the Syndicate, a group destroyed by the aliens in 1999. When the Super Soldiers find out about the pregnancy, they go after Scully and her unborn child because they believe it would be a threat to them. Scully's child would be human but without human frailties. However, when Scully gives birth to William, the Super Soldiers realize the child is no threat at all and they depart. A cult leader, Josepho believed William would be a leader of the aliens during the colonization if his father was dead. However, if Mulder lived, William would try and stop the aliens' return just like his father had done before him. Josepho believed the child was coveted by forces of both good and evil. Knowle Rohrer, a super-soldier posing as a human intelligence operative , believed that William was actually the first organic Super Soldier. He claimed that the implant inserted into the back of Scully's neck at the time of her abduction had been used to trigger her pregnancy. Jeffrey Spender and Shannon McMahon, another Super Soldier, supported this theory, saying the government program had recently been successful in giving birth to a super-soldier from "a mutated egg." William did not have a standard mutation at the back of his neck even though Shannon McMahon claimed every alien Super Soldier had one. When William was born, it became clear that he wasn't just any normal boy. On several occasions during the first year of his life, he demonstrated extraordinary abilities, like telekinesis and the remote activation of alien technology, indicating his partly alien nature. Due to this, a lot of people thought he was a threat to them and wanted to get rid of him. When Scully met Patti and her husband, she learned that their baby girl, Joy, had some of the same powers as William. When Scully found Patti holding her son one day, she believed he was in danger and pulled a gun on her. Later, Patti's husband, who turned out to be a Super Soldier, decreed that either William or Mulder had to die. Patti's husband was killed by a vein of magnetite that was lethal to Super Soldiers before he could do any real harm to Scully. When Federal Agent Comer thought Mulder was dead, he wanted to kill William to prevent him from leading future alien colonization. He broke into Scully's apartment and tried to smother the baby. Before he succeeded, Scully shot him. Scully became aware of all the threats and was afraid Josepho's cult was also after her son. She called upon the Lone Gunmen to protect her son. Within minutes of entrusting William to the Lone Gunmen, a female cult member highjacked their van and kidnapped William. Scully and the Lone Gunmen fail to find him, until Josepho contacted Scully and explained to her that he wanted to protect William from those who would try to harm him. He didn't want to let Scully see William without any evidence that Mulder was dead though. The Lone Gunmen were able to track the Josepho's vehicle and find his location. This information enables Scully to find her son, who was left behind by the cult, unharmed. Jeffrey Spender, believing William was a future Super Soldier, made a few attempts to get near William. Due to being shot in the face by his father, the Cigarette Smoking Man, Scully didn't recognized Spender. He gained her trust by letting her believe he was Mulder, so she let him near her son. One night he gave the baby a mysterious injection. When Scully heard her son crying in his crib, she discovered some blood on his sheets and an injection site on his head. She rushed William to the hospital with Agent Reyes. Tests indicated a slight elevation of iron in William's blood. along with some bruising on his head. This situation made Scully aware that the scarred man is actually Jeffrey Spender, not Mulder. Spender then confessed that the substance injected in William was a form of magnetite which normalized the baby's biology. With this, Spender wanted to take revenge on his own dad who had shot him. By normalizing William, he was no longer wanted by the aliens. However, Spender warned Scully that few would accept a "normal" William and the aliens would stay a threat to him. Scully desperately wanted to protect her son, but Spender convinced her that she was unable to do so. Scully and agent Reyes discussed William's future, and Scully made the very difficult decision to give her son up for adoption because it would be safer for him. After passing a medical examination, William is adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Van de Kamp in Wyoming. The identity of his adoptive family was kept anonymous to Scully.

How do you do Howard's magic card trick?

Howard's magic trick from the Big Bang Theory (Season 4, Episode 18 - "The Prestidigitation Approximation") is fake. Howard only created the card trick to befuddle Sheldon and make him go crazy. Raj and Penny were just playing along with Howard and fooling Sheldon to think it's real.

Where can a top gear test track be purchased?

If one is looking to rent out a top gear test track the best place to look is DunsFoldPark. They offer test tracks to rent out for people who can afford them.

You replaced the timing gears on 74 350 Chevy you cranked it so the big gear mark is at the top in the 12 o clock position and the small gear is at the top in the 12 o clock position Is this ok?

I usually point the marks exactly at each other, but since the little gear turns TWICE as fast as the big gear, one revolution of causes the timing marks to alternate between pointing directly toward each other and both timing marks being at "twelve o-clock". If you have any concerns, connect a starter and see what the compression is. If you have good compression, it's right. NO to start with get your #1 cyl. at top dead center on comp. stroke then set crank gear at 12 o'clock and cam gear at 6 o'clock (marks pointing at each other) other wise your timing will be way off and cause major problems

In what episode did Christopher Pike appear as Captain of the Enterprise?

Pike appeared in the pilot of "Star Trek", which is not really considered part of the series, because so much was changed after the pilot. Basically, the studio didn't like it and the viewers didn't like it, so Rodenberry went back to the drawing board. He got an almost entirely new cast for the second "pilot." Leonard Nimoy was in the old pilot, and he did play Spock, but was the second officer rather than the first officer. Majel Barrett was also in the pilot, not as Christine Chapel, but as the first officer. And of course, Pike (Jeffrey Hunter) was the Captain, and Kirk was nowhere to be seen.

In this episode, the crew visits a planet where the mega-brained natives can control the thoughts of us puny, weak-minded humans--and project illusions into our minds. The crew are not initially aware of the real natives, but, in what would become a common theme in the series, meet a good-looking, humanoid woman, who falls in love with the Captain. (The big-brained guys keep the Captain prisoner, and he makes a determined effort to escape--they find out that we humans would rather die than endure even pleasant, kind captivity, so we're too violent to be the slave race they wanted.) It turns out that the woman is not good-looking at all, but is hideously deformed from her ship's crash landing on the planet. The big-brain guys have the power to "repair" the essential functions of her body, but somehow cannot restore her to her former beautiful self. Her good looks are, in fact, just a mental image that the big-brain guys have placed in her mind, as well as the minds of the Enterprise crew. (Addendum: The natives of the planet ended up destroying themselves with their power of illusion.) When the crew leaves, they offer to take the chick with them, but she doesn't want to leave because, even though she has ZERO human interaction here, she's PRETTY here. Yeah, right. What good does pretty do you if there's not a human male around for 10,000 light years?

Later on, when the series was in full swing, they took that pilot and inserted it, scene by scene, into another episode ("The Menagerie"). This is, to my knowledge, the only two-part episode of the original Star Trek series. In this episode, which is set some years later than the events in the pilot, Pike is handicapped so badly from "delta-particle" radiation poisoning that he can only survive in a special wheel chair. This chair not only keeps him alive, but is his only means of mobility OR communication. (This is one of the many times when science REALITY far surpasses science fiction. The chair, in the 23rd century, is capable of communicating only yes or no answers, but we ALREADY, just a few decades after the show, can provide people in this state with a MUCH wider range of communicative ability. But I digress.)

At the beginning of the episode, Pike and a collection of Starfleet Admirals are on board the Enterprise. Spock, either in conspiracy with Pike or on his own initiative, takes control of the Enterprise and locks the rest of the crew out. He sets the ship on a course for the planet that Pike et al visited in the pilot. Remember, Spock was on that crew, as second officer. Apparently, he had a lot of, dare-I-say, feelings for Pike, and wanted to take him back to this planet, where, at least in his mind, he would be young, and healthy, and no longer crippled. Due to the events that happened in the pilot, the Federation has quarantined this planet, forbidding anyone to visit it. So, Spock is kind of in double trouble here. The episode is split between the present and the past. In the present tense, the plot is the court martial that is convened by the admirals charging Spock with mutiny. The past tense is just video computer logs from the original mission that was portrayed in the pilot. These video logs are presented as evidence in Spock's court martial.

I know it's easy to find the old scifi stuff stupid and/or corny, but this episode (two-part episode based on the original pilot) was particularly bad. Anyway, they get Pike back to the planet, he re-unites with the woman, and they are both young and beautiful again, if only in their own minds. Spock is acquitted and turns control of the Enterprise back over to Kirk.
