Motherboard not recognizing drives?

I have a Gigabyte M/B that does not recognize a SATA HD & a SATA optical drive. What is the most likely cause? Hardware fault? BIOS setup mistake? I would like to hear from experienced builders.

If Israel should have to return it's land to Palestine should Istanbul return it's land to Constantinople?

It's only fair after all, does the fact that it's a bunch of whiny Islamic supremacists leading the "destroy Israel" movement make them somehow more "precious" than the Romans?

Why am I so jealous?

One of my really close friends is now going out with the guy I like, and they're perfect for each other. The guy has liked her for a long time, and I can't blame him- she's the perfect girl. I was really close friends with the guy two years ago, before he knew her. We kind of drifted apart, and it was partly my fault because I didn't talk to him much but he didn't talk to me either. And I think he completely forgot that I exist. Because he forgot that I was in two of his classes, even after eight months. Yeah... But as hard as I'm trying to be happy for them, I can't and I feel so shitty. How can I just not be jealous? It doesn't help that I've never gone out with anyone before. I'm not ugly and I have been asked out, but I just didn't like the guys that asked me out. Not like the "I'm to good for you" thing, I just had no feelings whatsoever for them. Advice? I feel like I'll never ever meet "the one." So tired of waiting.

Where is the mother church of the Orthodox Christian Churches?

Would it be in Rome? Moscow, perhaps? Istanbul [Constantinople]? Being that both Catholic and Orthodox Churches were the One Holy Christian Church before 1054.

How is this prologue? Do you feel the emotion? Where should I edit it?

I loved the first paragraph. It is a very dramatic and intense death scene. I like the details and the intricacies of a potential vampiric death. It seems to take longer than is traditional but it is wonderfully vivid. The rest of it (for me) is teen romantic drivel. I don't have a problem with her loving a vampire it is just the extremism of it all. He being the only vamp she could ever stand, the only one she ever loved because he was a good vampire? I have a problem with animal blood drinking vamps when he could just get some from a local blood bank. But otherwise this kindly vampire thing doesn't sit well with all readers of vampire lore.
