We're looking into getting an umbrella insurance to cover our primary house, rental and our two cars. From what I understand, you can reduce some of the coverage on the rental and the autos and have the umbrella cover it? For a $1mil coverage it's only $200/yr or so, sounds pretty inexpensive...
Saw the the other grilling thread and decided it's time to learn how to make some really good juicy burgers to put on the grill.

I believe Telnap is ran by a local ATOT, not sure if anyone else is using them or not, but my site is down and all the support links are down, chat, ticketing system, message board, etc

Thanks!
New owner of the panny viera TC-P50X3, I'm loving the tv, my only complaint is the # of inputs. Being the AV noob that I am, what's the best way to increase the # of inputs.

It seems like every week there are really good deals on RAM, I figured might as well get a bump in RAM since it's so cheap.

Visiting the folks in Pasadena this July 4th weekend, wanted to plan a trip to one of the "you pick" orchards, but I don't know the area.
Any suggestions on a good place to go where it might be fun? Preferably a place multiple things to pick but we're okay with just cherries. :)
I'm not sure if I totally understand the whole ppi vs dpi and what is minimum pixel dimension to get a quality print. This is what I think and correct me if I'm wrong.
Most of the pictures from my d90 come out as 3216px x 2316px. What I read was that I should forget about dpi and just focus...
there are so many choices on amazon not really sure where to start aside from pick the ones with the larges amt of reviews and >4 stars so I wanted to see if you guys had any recommendations.

My mom had for the longest been driving around in this super old oldsmobile, it's actually been good, not too many fixes but it's not going to pass smog and it's about time to change.

Once in a blue moon there would be a really kickass chinese movie that comes out, Infernal Affairs was one of them.

We have tons of videos from our canon sd800is and nikon d90 of our little kiddo and we wanted to share them w/ our parents. And since they're not super computer savvy, the easiest would prob. be to burn it on a dvd and give it to them.
What's the easiest and free way to do it, also needs to...

One of the many decisions that come with being a new parents :) Did you guys do cord blood banking, why or why not?
