How long would it take to drive from Santa Barbara to LAX?
I need to drive from SB to LAX for a flight at 3:50, the only problem is I have class in the morning and the class ends at 12:30. Im going to estimate around 2 hours to drive from santa barbara to lax, and a little less if i book it down there. Do you think this is enough time to check in and so on. It is a domestic flight at 3:50 pm and I have no luggage to book, just need to get through security. Do you think thats enough time? I will also be putting my car in overnight parking for a couple of days, and get a shuttle, do you think i can make it? thanks all.
Answer: Urgh, thats kinda cutting it close. It could take you like 2 hours if traffic is heavy just to get from Santa Barbara to the LA Metro area (i.e. 405 and 101 intersection) and then from there another possible hour into LAX. Southbound 405 is always LOADED starting about 12N on so even if you hit no traffic most of the way you will for sure coming on 101 and approaching the 405. Also the PCH south (or another name for highway 1 out of Santa Barbara) is hit or miss. If the traffic isn't TOO bad but average LA you can probably make it curbside by 3:10, 3:20 at the latest. If its REALLY bad you probably get there right at 3:50 or after.

What happens if you use ex lax for an extended time?
What would happen if you were to use ex lax for a long period of time? Say, every day for two months, or so?
Answer: You could die, If you don't have constipation, ex-lax will cause diarrhea and led to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. If sever enough you could die. Ex-lax is not meant to be taken longer than 5 - 7 days MAX and that's only IF you are constipated.
Don't try using this product for weight loss. IF you want to lose weight then you have one option. Reduce the surplus energy from food your body is taking in. Either eat less, exercise more, or preferably, do both.
@Kyle: Laxative abuse can cause life threatening health complications. At least click on the first or second link from ANY major search engine (search term "laxative abuse") and do a little research before answering on something you clearly have no clue about. Since you have trouble doing this, I have done the hard work of typing for you. See below.

What is the best way to get from LAX to Venice Beach?
My husband is arriving at LAX at 10am from Melbourne and i am not arriving until 8pm from Canada. My husband will obviously be wanting to check in to our hotel at Venice Beach and then go back to the airport to meet me when my plane arrives. Does anyone know bus routes and the cheapest way to get to and fro LAX? Any suggestions would be gratly appreciated!
Answer: The cheapest way is by bus: Take a shuttle to the LAX City Bus Center. Then take Metro Rapid 3 to Lincoln and Venice Blvd. If he needs to go further, he can transfer to Metro bus 33 going west towards the ocean. Should be $1.50.
It's close enough for a taxi (which should run around $20), but I'm wondering why you don't rent a car? LA is very spread out, and taking the bus takes 3 times longer to go anywhere.

How to get from a domestic flight to an international flight at LAX airport?
Im flying on Southwest to LAX, then going to Chile.
How do u get from the domestic terminal to the international terminal?
Do u have to take a shuttle or can you walk?
And how long does it usually take?
Do I have to check my bags again?
and do I have to go through security again?
but most importantly how long does it take to get from terminal 1 to the international terminal?
any info would be helpful !
thanks !
Answer: You will arrive at Terminal 1 with Southwest and, if travelling with LAN Airlines to Chile, will need to get to TBIT (Tom Bradley International Terminal). This terminal is to be found between Terminals 3&4, as can be seen on the attached map.
http://www.lawa.org/uploadedFiles/LAX/pdf/terminalmap.pdf
You will need to collect your luggage, drop it off at the check-in of the airline you are flying to Chile with, and proceed through security. To get from one terminal to another you can catch the shuttle bus which runs every 12-15 minutes.

Just in case you are not travelling with LAN Airlines you can find which terminal your airline uses from this list -

Can someone please tell me what public transportation to take to get from LAX to downtown LA?
I will be flying down to LA and landing in LAX airport. I dont want to spend too much so I need help with designing a planning a route to get from LAX to LA downtown via public transportation. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Answer: At LAX pick up your luggage, go out to the curb and look for a green overhead sign saying "Flyaway & Long Distance Shuttles" , and board the "Flyaway" bus. They're blue Greyhound type buses. They run every 30 minutes, and the trip takes about 40 minutes. The fare is $7.00 each way. It takes you to the Union Station.

Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhuttos death raises the specter of prolonged political conflict between Pakistans president, Pervez Musharraf, and the countrys opposition, according to Pakistani and American analysts.

I see a lot more trouble - News analysis: political analysts say death of former Prime Min Benazir Bhutto puts Pres Pervez Musharraf in precarious position; suggest that how Musharraf handles next several days could determine whether nationwide antigovernment protests will erupt; Musharraf remains deeply unpopular after declaring state of emergency and suppressing Bhutto and other political opponents; core of Musharrafs predicament is perception that he did too little to protect Bhutto or that his government carried out assassination itself; going forward with upcoming elections will be seen as taking advantage of Bhuttos death; photo (M) - By DAVID ROHDE; Jane Perlez contributed reporting from Sydney, Australia.
