I have a dart board cabinet set up in my basement. The problem is, there was only one spot I could put it, and there are no lights above the board in this area. There is not enough space above the cabinet to install overhead lighting, but there is some space on top of the cabinet to put a small light. What type of lights should I be looking for? Battery operated is fine, and probably preferred because then I won't have to string a cord to the nearest outlet.

I've been told a flange on the catalytic converter has broken off due to rust (I had a friend check it out after it started making a terrible noise). This is the base model 98 Impreza. About how much will it cost to have this replaced (part + labor). I do not need an original factory part either. If they make generics for less I'd go for that.

I made 2 Facebook accounts because I wanted my students to be able to friend me without seeing my account from college. Facebook apparently didn't like this, and they "sort of" merged my accounts together. Unfortunately, it was not a full merge. The contact info for my new account was changed to the contact info for my old account, so I can receive emails when someone friends my new account, but when I click on the link to accept it just takes me to my old account. I just want them to delete my new account so I can at least point people to one account they can friend me on and not have to go through this headache. Facebook seems to give the run-around to anyone trying to contact them. Anyone got any ideas?

More specifically, when does a base runner have to return to (and possibly touch?) the base he was on at the time of the pitch? When a runner takes his lead, does he have to retouch the base after every pitch? If someone could cite the specific rule in the MLB rulebook that would be great.

The 2009 Super Bowl will be broadcast on NBC. NBC is the only network channel that Time Warner does not carry in HD in my area. I'm having a big party with big screen LCD TV's showing the game, and they'll all show the grainy crappiness that is analog television signal. My party is ruined; who do I have to blame? Is this Time Warner's fault or the fault of the local NBC affiliate? The only reason I'm asking is I have half a dozen brick and I need to know where to throw them.

When I try to light a fire, the smoke doesn't go up the chimney, but instead blow out of the fireplace and into the living room. The wood stove was working last week, but now it's pretty clear there's something preventing the smoke from getting sucked into the chimney. I've tried playing with the flue (it's unlabeled, so it's pretty much guesswork), but that hasn't worked. Could it be something clogged in the chimney? I can still feel cold air blowing in from the chimney when I put my hand towards the back of the stove on the inside.

I have multiple free food pieces from the McDonalds Monopoly game. I would like to avoid making more than one trip to McDonalds, so I was hoping I could use them all at once. Does anyone know if McDonald's allows this?

I have a LCD TV that is currently sitting on a mantle above a wood stove. I would like to start burning wood in the stove, but I'm not sure if the heat will be a problem for the TV. The wood stove is not actually in the fireplace, but a few feet in front of it, so the TV is on the stone mantle behind the stove and probably about 3 feet above it. If heat will be a problem, would having an EcoFan on the stove help at all?

I know people who are wearing metal necklaces and stuff like that often get severe burns when struck by lightning (usually an indirect strike, because I'm talking about people who survived). Would having a titanium rod fused to the bone in my leg cause massive internal burns if I were struck by lightning? I mean people with necklaces have reported that it literally just melts on their body. I'm not actually worrying about this, I'm just curious.

The packages do not contain anything of real value (maybe $10 per box), so duties are not a big deal. Also, they do not need to be there anytime soon, so the cheaper the better. They will be shipped from New York.

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.11 and in the past week I've noticed that I get signed out of the sites I regularly visit after 12 or so hours. This includes Gmail, Yahoo, Facebook, IMDB, and every other site that I log in to. I keep my browser open and my computer on all the time, and these sites used to keep me signed in for days or even weeks at a time, even if I didn't visit them regularly. Is there a setting with my cookies or temporary cache that could have been changed? This is really starting to annoy me.

I've got a pretty full-grown beard, and I need some costume ideas. Please be as specific as possible with each costume. I do not want to be Paul Bunyon or Abe Lincoln. Please be as esoteric as possible, it's ok to be a little weird.
