    Best bang for buck camcorder?

    Haven't done much research yet but I was curious if anyone could recommend a good camcorder for simple (family videos) usage? Budget is around $400. I see where the JVC GZMG130US 30GB HDD camcorder is on sale tomorrow for $329 at BB but reviews are a mixed bag on video quality. Battery life...

    Hulk Hogan's kid in serious wreck/airlifted?

    They just broke it on MSNBC and said one of his children was involved in a serious car wreck in Florida. They were airlifted to a nearby hospital. They didn't release which kid but I'm guessing Nick since he does a lot of car racing stuff. Any details?

    Last day on job of 14 years

    Started working here part time in 1993, while I was a student in college. Came on full time after graduating and have been here ever since. Small company and the same 6 employees, including myself, since I began. So this is an extended family for me here. We've been through a lot of stuff...

    How slow is Road Runner Lite?

    I currently have Earthlink high speed at 5Mbps/384kbps. I see that Road Runner Lite is around 1.4Mbps/256kbps. For someone that doesn't really do anything other than surf the web, email and occasional stream video, am I really going to notice a huge difference if I downgrade?

    YAFFT: Help me choose my RB

    I have the 2nd and 19th pick in our draft. I have Cedric Benson (RB) and Reggie Brown (WR) as my keepers. I've already made up my mind to take Manning with the 2nd pick. But unless a WR that is simply to good to pass on is there at 19, I'm 99.9% certain I'm going RB. I've ran several mock...

    "sqlmanager.exe" Getting error at startup

    Once my desktop loads, I'm getting a box that shows "sqlmanager.exe" and then "Unable to Locate DLL." Under that is a really long file path. Any clue on what's going on or is a reformat inevitable? :(

    Deleted wallpaper still displaying during startup

    Trying to clean up a work computer since I'm taking another job. I had some custom wallpapers stored which I deleted. When I go into the display properties, only the Windows 2000 Pro default wallpapers are available and none of the ones I uploaded. However, whenever I reboot this computer...

    Leaving current job for new one

    I will be turning in my two week notice tomorrow morning. I start the new job on August 27th. As of now, I have 10 days of vacation time with my current employer. I'm sure it differs from company to company, but how is that situation typically handled? Ideally, I'd like to work my remaining...

    2nd interview today (Updated)

    34 and with the same company going on 14 years now so I haven't had any job interview experience. I went on my first interview for a new job, last Tuesday and did fairly well. I met with the HR Director for about 45 minutes and then met with the guy that would be my boss for another 45...

    Can you walk or stand on your hands?

    I give up. I don't think it's a strength issue for me unless it's purely stabilizer muscle-related. I have a pretty strong upper body and can bench my weight with ease. I can also stand on my hands for an extended time if my feet are up against the wall. But for the life of me, I can't do a...

    MRP (Materials Resource Planning)

    Applied for a new position a few weeks ago and had my phone interview yesterday which went very well. I'm supposed to be going in early next week for a formal interview with management. During the phone interview with HR, I was informed that MRP will be a big part of this position. I have no...

    Any good lower body workouts for lower back pain sufferers?

    Lower back pain is my biggest obstacle when it comes to taking it to the next level in the gym. I tend to do fine with most upper body stuff, with the exception of a couple chest routines and rows that put some stress on my lower back. But I find it difficult to get in a good lower body...

    How often do you replace your toothbrush?

    Just realized this morning I've been using my current toothbrush for quite a while. At least 4 months, so I tossed it since I have several freebies from teeth cleanings. How often do you replace your toothbrush? What's the expert/dentist ruling on this?

    Where to get a copy of distressed photo made?

    I have an old photo from my grandmother's (RIP) wedding day. It's black & white, around 5x7 and a bit distressed, but that's one reason why it's such a great photo. It's the only copy we have and I need to get it reproduced into an 8x10 for my mother. What is my best option here as far as...

    Any shaving gels/lotions that don't dry you out?

    I've been using that Edge Advanced and my face gets unbelievably dry lately. Just to confirm it was the gel, I started shaving with some moisturizing lotion for a few days and no more dry skin but the lotion isn't a long term option. Anyone know of a good shaving gel/cream that doesn't dry...

    What is this gadget??

    I apologize for the crappy photos. Someone took them with a cheap cell phone cam but if someone here can improve the images for better identification, that would be great. Basically, it was about 3" long and 3/4" wide/tall and made of brass. The base was flat but then angled up into a...

    Brandi Carlile

    I may have to turn in my man card for this one but I think she's incredible. :o Her style of music kind of reminds me or Nora Jones but a far more powerful voice. I don't like Nora's music at all but for some reason I really like Brandi. If you don't know who the hell I'm talking about...

    Best site for magazine subscriptions?

    Anyone here familiar with any reputable and cheap sites for popular magazine subscriptions? Seems to be a ton of them out there but I'd rather go with a site that has some ATOT credibility. Thanks

    Are you lactose intolerant? Milk/dairy allergies?

    In the last few months, I've noticed that after drinking milk (both skim and 1%), I tend to develop excessive gas, get bloated, have terrible gurgling sounds in my stomach, develop some stomach cramping and occasionally diarrhea. I tend to get the same problems after eating ice cream but I...

    Arch support/running advice needed

    I'd like to be able to run more but I have flat feet and tend to develop a good bit of pain in my feet, shins and lower back. Currently, I'm not using any arch supports in my Asics. Am I better off getting some inserts? If so, what type seems to be the best for running on hard surfaces...

    How to keep cats out of rose garden??

    So, the neighbors across the street apparently enjoy taking in cats...several of them. And every damn one of them is an "outdoor" cat. They all have collars, tags, etc. but they roam all over the cul-de-sac. I don't really mind it and I'm even okay with them killing the occasional bird, mole...

    Do you think everyone is born with the same potential?

    I was watching some medical show on DCH or some similar station where a surgeon was removing massive amounts of facial tumors from this guy. Being amazed with the surgeon's skill, I wondered about this topic. Let's assume that we're all born with exactly the same resources. We're all born...

    Downgrading from Vista to XP Pro

    Received a Dell E1505 with Vista Premium. The person who I got the laptop for wants XP Pro. So, I put in my XP Pro disc but the option to install it isn't highlighted/accessible. Never had that problem when doing installs but I can't seem to figure out how to replace Vista with XP just by...

    Formal anniversary celebration/party? Is this common??

    So, we get a formal invitation in the mail yesterday from the sister/brother-in-law of the husband. It stated something along the lines of our presence being requested, to celebrate one year of marriage between "blank and blank." Since when did people start having formal events to celebrate a...

    Pressure washer

    So, I'm thinking about buying a 2000-3000psi pressure washer but I'm trying to justify it. My primary reason for wanting it is to pressure wash my driveway and patio (both desperately need it). However, beyond that, I worry about it just becoming yet another piece of equipment that sits in my...

    Fear of flying

    34 years old and never stepped foot on a plane. I'm absolutely terrified to do it and I get nervous just from dropping someone off/picking them up at the airport. Around Memorial Day, I will be flying (from NC to MI) for the first time and I'm already freaking out. I started sweating just...

    Saltgrass Steakhouse

    A Joe's Crab Shack right by my house recently closed down and I noticed they were remodeling the building. So I ran the address on my county's building permit site and found out it's going to be a Saltgrass Steakhouse. Never heard of it so I was curious if it's any good compared to other chain...

    Diagnose this car noise

    2003 Sebring LXI (4 door sedan) with only 40K and maintained very well. Horribly annoying creaking coming from rear of car. Primarily present when it's below 45F outside. It was 70 here yesterday and I never heard it. But heard it again this morning when it was colder out. Only creaks when...

    Nerve block vs. sedation?

    Who's the artist...

    Do you feel obligated to send flowers on Val. Day?

    Good medical advice forum?

    I know a lot of people on here, myself included, pose medical questions on here form time to time. Often, there is good information to be had but most people get ripped for asking the ATOT crowd about medical problems. So I was just curious if anyone knows of a couple good medical forums that...

    Factory car radio question

    In my experience, if I pull a factory radio and put in an after market head unit, while leaving everything else factory, the sound isn't as good. This is assuming you leave all the factory speakers in and add no additional amplification or speakers. I pulled my after market HD/Sirius-ready...

    Which Preowned car?

I have...

    What would you offer for this car?

    Private party seller is selling a loaded, 2003 Maxima GLE with 58K on it. His listing says "$14,200 OBO." And also in his listing it says "MUST SELL!!! Too many family cars and we have to downsize." I also know that he has a Tahoe listed as well but he can only sell one of the two cars...
