  • Is there a free way of monitoring my trailing stops?

    My broker only allows me to sell my stocks when they hit their trailing stops. I would like for them to notify me so I can take the necessary action. I'm hoping to find a free website which will do this for me.

  • How can I calm a Chinese Algae Eater

    I have a Chinese algae eater in a tank with 5 glowlight tetras and all the CAE does is chase and harass the tetras. I would hate to have to get rid of him (or kill him) but that seems to be what it is coming to. Is there a way to keep the CAE from chasing its tankmates? I tried dividing the tank a little more with plants, but that didn't work. Any tips?

  • 89 taurus dies at stoplights?

    I have an 89 Taurus that dies unless I press the throttle. So, I basically have to drive the car with the throttle constantly pressed. Is there an easy fix for this? Any tips you have? This seems like it would be a pretty easy fix, but I don't know much about how this system works.

  • Car has trouble shifting. Will Lucas transmission fluid help?

    I drive an 89 Ford Taurus with ~90,000 miles and have a problem with the transmission. When it is hot outside (it doesn't do it in cold weather) or the car has been running for a while, the car has trouble shifting into 2nd. The car will rev pretty high, then kick very hard (sometimes squealing the tires) into 2nd. Every other gear change is fine. I'm afraid that the tranny is just going to give out.

    I was getting my oil changed the other day and the guy there told me to exchange the fluid in there with Lucas transmission fluid. He said that the Lucas fluid will do something with the bands in there and make it shift easier. Is this true? I can't see how a different fluid can do this. Anyone have experience with Lucas products?

  • Growing watermelon/cucumbers in confined spaces?

    I am growing two watermelon and one cucumber plant at my rental home. I tried planting them in the backyard last year, but the bamboo roots back there made it impossible to grow anything. So, I decided to plant them in three one gallon milk jugs.

    But, anyways, to make a long story short, I need to be able to grow them in an area as small as possible. Do you have any tips on how I can go about doing this? I've grown cucumbers before, but have never tried doing it in a confined space.

    Also, it would be great if I could move them if needed, but not necessary. Let me know what you think.

  • Spray on UV protection for car windows?

    I am looking for a spray on UV protection for a window (kind of like sunblock for people). I have looked all around and cannot find any. I cannot use a window film because of the curvature of the window (a professional window tinter tried and failed). There has to be a company out there that makes this stuff, since it seems like there would be a large market.

  • Tinting plastic windows?

    I have a plastic windshield that I want to tint, but have run into some problems. I tried getting a tint shop to place a film over it, but the surface was too curved. Is there another method that I can try? Is there any kind of spray or dye? Also, I would like mirror tint. Is that possible? The plastic can flex a little, so it has to be able to withstand that.

    I don't have to worry about whether or not the tint complies with the law. So, there are no restrictions.

    I was wondering what velocity paintballs are designed to burst at. Or, what height can I drop one from and have it break open.
