» Infopop Eve to vB
Hi, I currently have my forums with Infopop Eve, but its too expensive to run there, so I want to move them. I saw you have Eve convertor, and I think you are the only company that have it, but as I am trying to fix all these things in the last month, I am wondering if there is a paid service for this conversion here. Like the installation services. I just dont want to take a risk to do it myself, because I am not sure I will do it all right. I moved the forum in November 2004, and sadly lost all the posts from a free hosted forum, and my members were very upset. Any help will be very appreciated.There is no "official" import service however you could post over here (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=30) for a service r...... - 2010-03-11

This year it's girls ask guys and my friend told me to ask this one guy and I really wanted to. But I'm not sure if he has a date and I'm not sure if he would even ever think about it.

And should I even try and go with him?Ask him, memories are we got got! If you don't go you will look back in the past and ask yourself: "Why didn't I just ask him out?" It'll be fun, and you'll remember for the rest of your life. Besides, there's nothing to lose.Well, it depends if it's just for the dance or you like him too.

Effective and safest way of changing the "Start" button text in Windows XP http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r116/kiran_rkk/Start%20Button%20text/starttab.jpg There are some methods available to change the "Start" button text. There is a small utility too for changing it. But I have seen that the change is not permanent. After a while, the "start" button renames automatically to default one. This is due to file protection of Windows. In some other methods, right-click "search" menu on "start" tab ceases to function. I am giving a safe method to do it using Resource Hacker and Replacer.

» 18-135 vs. 18-200
I need a new basic walk around lens. Do I go with the easily accessible and cheaper 18-135 or look for an 18-200. I've heard good things about both, but more bad things about the 18-135mm. Any thoughts?if you can, the 18-200 or 24-120VR. I use the 24-120 VR because the 18-200 is near impossible to find in stock consistently anywhere, and It's got better optics in it because it's a 5x, not 11x zoom. I like my 24-120 alot. I use it when my f/2.8's aren't needed, or I just can't carry a bag and need to go light and still cover a wide focal range.I agree 24-120VR if you need to go a longer range this is about as long as you are going to want to get.Does it ever bother you that the 24-120 doesn't go as wide?I've used the 18-200 on trips and ...... - 2010-03-11

» Can you get DQ'd from the air force if you are allergic to bee stings?
The Standards for Intial Entry are different from those for Retention. You cannot join with problems such as allergies to foods, bee stings or having asthma. A need to carry meds in case of bee sting would be a DQ. Becoming allergic after joining and having been in some time may not. They can still retire you if the problem is severe enough.

» How much does it cost for lazer tattoo removels?
i have 2 tattos covering 2/3 of my left forearm, and i need them removing to make space for another tattoo.It will cost ALOT! In Ireland it costs €90.00 per treatment for a 3x3 inch square. It takes 4 or 5 treatments for the tattoo to be fully gone [more if there is colour involved]. You will bleed during the process because it is VERY intense and you will be left scarred after it. You should have thought about this before hand! It's costing you alot more to remove one than to get one done! BUT... Tattoos are cool. Just think about these ones before you put yourself through the torture of removing some! Good Luck.Type of ink, color of ink, depth and density of ink, and the location of your tattoo all influence the number o...... - 2010-03-11

First, the story: My father recently passed away and left my wife and I, among other things, a Pentax Asahi MV 35mm camera with multiple lenses that I fondly remember my father using times to numerous to mention. My wife has always been interested in photography and I thought this might be a good way to keep the camera in the family and satisfy an interest my wife has as well. So, I purchased her a few starter books for Christmas and am looking into getting the camera "tuned/cleaned", but I have a few questions. 1) I use Photoshop CS2 extensively for web graphics and the like, but (oddly enough) I've never used the program in conjunction with a camera.

» How can I train to jump higher for arial kicks.?
You can do squats or explosive squats ( while your doing the squats you jump when you straighten your legs). Thats what we do at my club and it helps. Other then that you want to be doing power training for your legs. Use weights while your doing the squats or any other leg exercise and do lots of stretches in your legs after you have exercised. not before. You stretch before martial art training but not exercise. People will say that wrong, but it isn't. I have a degree in exercise and fitness to back me up. Basically, anything that makes your legs stronger will help you jump higher. In addition to squats and other lifts, sprint work on a track on up hills will help (and help cardio too). You can also work some plyometrics into your r...... - 2010-03-11

Coleman calls The Weather Channel 'a huge disappointment' (http://www.dailyherald.com/search/searchstory.asp?id=174260) Not everyone loves The Weather Channel.

Any thoughts?if you can, the 18-200 or 24-120VR.

» Seeking AE-1 parts source...
I own a Canon AE-1 and an AE-1 Program. Neither of them have the viewfinder cover with them. I have searched eBay for a while and Adorama for a cover. Anyone have a source for them? -SquirrelNutsI see them come up on eBay every now and then. They usually go for around $10 (it's a part that's missing on a LOT of second hand cameras). As far as I'm concerned, they're not worth the money. They have two purposes: sit on the hotshoe, or cover the viewfinder for long exposures. You might as well just get a piece of cardboard to cover the viewfinder on the rare occasions that you might need one, and covering the hotshoe just isn't all that useful.I do have an eyecup over the viewfinder and I considered rigging something out of posterboar...... - 2010-03-11

i have 2 tattos covering 2/3 of my left forearm, and i need them removing to make space for another tattoo.It will cost ALOT! In Ireland it costs €90.00 per treatment for a 3x3 inch square. It takes 4 or 5 treatments for the tattoo to be fully gone [more if there is colour involved]. You will bleed during the process because it is VERY intense and you will be left scarred after it. You should have thought about this before hand! It's costing you alot more to remove one than to get one done! BUT... Tattoos are cool.

» How can I train to jump higher for arial kicks.?
You can do squats or explosive squats ( while your doing the squats you jump when you straighten your legs). Thats what we do at my club and it helps. Other then that you want to be doing power training for your legs. Use weights while your doing the squats or any other leg exercise and do lots of stretches in your legs after you have exercised. not before. You stretch before martial art training but not exercise. People will say that wrong, but it isn't. I have a degree in exercise and fitness to back me up. Basically, anything that makes your legs stronger will help you jump higher. In addition to squats and other lifts, sprint work on a track on up hills will help (and help cardio too). You can also work some plyometrics into your r...... - 2010-03-11

» Can a doctor give a diagnosis without performing any tests?
My daughter was diagnosed with strep throat by a doctor. Her vitals and temp was taken and her throat was looked at with a light. Nothing else. Is it possible to actually diagnose something like that without a throat culture? Yes, when a doctor observes white patches or dots on the throat surface, it shows bacterial infection which could be strep or staph. Both can be treated by antibiotics. In that case culture is not needed. Some doctors order the culture when they don't see anything in a regular exam just to find out if it's bacterial or not.there is no way to diagnose strep with ouit a culture.No. this has been studied quite extensively. there is no way to diagnose strep throat accurately just by looking.

What have been the major social, economic and technological developments in the United States thus far in the decade of 2000 or in the 21st century?Dear emmalee, It is difficult to determine, from this point of time (end of 2002), what are the major development for the whole decade of 2000-2009, or even for the last few years - some development take time to be recognised for the importance they have - like Freud's "Dream Interpretation", which was published at 1900 (technically at 1899), but only by 1909 became widely known and discussed. However, several things can be already determined, at least for the time being, as mark stones for 2000-2002.

» -where can i buy cheap pet fish equipment?
would it be best to get them from a pet shop, the internet or shops like kmart/target/big w and how much do you think they would cost?If you buy a set it could be expensive and a savings, depending on how you look at it. If you just want to buy the tank one month, then buy the gravel or what substrate you want the next month and so on. It all depends on how you can afford to buy an aquarium and how large you want to start off with. If it were me I would go with the largest tank I can find that would fit my living space.I've noticed due to the worsening of the us economy that many pet stores have been closing down, and the owners sell off their wares for much less than retail. Walmart has decent priced aquarium products, too bad ...... - 2010-03-11
» Pump Flange Wrench
How about a wrench that will fit into the bolt holes on pump flanges to make tightening them easier? It could just be an attachment for a 1/2" drive ratchet wrench. Just a thought since most of the time the flanges are difficult to tighten in tight spaces and water pump plier slip off of them too easily.you can make a flange wrench pretty easy that a pc. of pipe weld on a bolt that fits the flange holes then weld on a 2nd bolt down the pipe. to use you put one bolt in one hole the other on the outside of the flange. works great you can make any size to fit the size flange :cool:Thanks for the suggestion. After I posted the question I thought about it and came up with a wrench of my own. I just used a spare flange as a template and weld...... - 2010-03-11

Give honest opinions and Experiences on both and what you find better. Thanks in advanced.Wow! You need to start sale shopping. You can find 2 Ltr bottles on sale for $1. Same with a 12 pk of cans....sale price $2-$2.50. Personally, I prefer the cans. The 2 Ltr bottles never get finished and I end up throwing to much away.

» Stop sign ticket-should I go to court or not?
If I got a stop sign ticket and I admit it's right. The thing is that I was rushing to work and I didn't do it on purpose and I don't do it otherwise ever. It was just because I was getting late for work. Is it worth going to court and stating that hoping that at least they won't take points away from my license?It depends, if you have an otherwise clean record and are polite to the court, the judge may give you a break. Then again, they may not. You are just really rolling the dice on this one. Most courts will at least give you a little bit of a break and traffic school is a possibility in most jurisdictions...If you have the free time, it's worth a shot. Pay the ticket and get it over with. More than likely you ...... - 2010-03-11
