Is there a way you can move the music from the device to your computer. Mine is on the fritz(not playing) and I don't want to lose half of my music and pics. I do realize I may be looking for a miracle where there isn't one. I have a lot of music on disc, but the newer stuff is on the player and wasn't saved after the great hard drive crash of 2013. There was a similar crash in 2007. Can anyone help out a brother in his time of need?

My cable bill is way higher than I want it to be. I was browsing different streaming media players and was wondering can I save some money by getting one of these gadgets. I realize you would have to pay a fee to subscribe to particular channels, but it can't be anywhere near what I'm paying for cable currently. There would only be certain channels I'd be interested in anyway. What is your take on my theory?

A co-worker stated she was told that she had to get a new passport as opposed to renewing it and it will take 3 months. I was wondering whether or not she was properly informed.

It just fits IMO. I didn't realize the guy was American. I thought he was Irish. I mean Chael? Doesn't seem like an American name. Mom was trying to be unique. I don't watch a lot of MMA. I've seen a few of his interviews and he seems like a jerk off, but that's another subject. Enough of this, his name is Michael.

My dad and I were having this discussion after we played 9 holes one day and I won by 7 strokes. I considered that a blow out. He said 10 would be a blow out which I agree with, but 7 strokes is a sound thumping reminiscent of Tiger Woods thrashing of Stephen Ames 9 & 8 at the Match Play event. 7 strokes is a blow out in my book.

I had this thought yesterday(I don't know why). I'm not one to look at the president as my moral leader. I don't believe he/she would be a player or unstable if he/she didn't have a mate. For some reason, I believe the public would have a problem with a unattached President of the United States.

Hopefully the question is self-explanatory?

You may have experienced downloading a song by an artist and it comes out to be a song by someone else. I was downloading Drake's song with Jay-Z called "Light Up" and got another song a while back, but I'm not sure the name of the song is "Light Up" It goes, "When I'm at the bar, lookin' like a star, shawty what'cha drinking man I hope you like dark(? I think that's what he says) cause I got that Remy on deck... Henny on deck... Remy on deck... Henny on deck. Hey Shawty what you like, all in the club man I hope you like white, cause I got that Goosey on deck... Patron on deck... Goosey on deck... Patron on deck. There's a chick who has a verse on the track as well, but I do not recognize her. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate the help. Thanx in advance.

I've wondered this for a while. Has there been evidence presented that shows without a shadow of a doubt that individuals are born gay? I've not heard anything about it. I haven't done a great deal of research on it either. I don't understand homosexuality and don't have much of an issue with it. If that's who you are then it is what it is. I was just wondering are people really born this way or does something happen or not happen in their development that leads to homosexuality?

It was made within the last 3 or 4 years. It was about a guy that could sense something bad was about to happen before it happened. I don't remember much else about the movie other than the actors were young(early 20's) and one particular scene. All I remember about this scene is that they were at a Grand Prix style race and there was an accident. I believe he sensed the accident was about to happen and tried to warn everybody to get out of the way. I just remember a wheel from one of the cars was about to hit somebody. Of course they didn't see it coming. I never saw the movie, just a trailer. Any ideas on the name because I would like to see it. I wish I had more info to give, but that's all I got.

I'm sure I'll get a lot of different answers. IMO, it used to be Dre, but no longer. He takes too long putting out tracks. We've been hearing about Detox since 2001. I don't care if I ever hear it. The title now goes to Swizzy. Most of the time I can tell one of his tracks when I hear it, but he has thrown me off a few times especially with Dr. Carter(Lil Wayne). I had no clue until I looked at the credits to know he did the track. Kanye's up there, Dilla(R.I.P.), Premo, 9th Wonder, Timbaland,etc. You do hear him a lot on his tracks which is a dead give away, but he was on Fabolous' Return of the Hustle which was not his track, but Just Blaze's. If someone can give me a reason why it isn't Swizzy, then you'll get the best answer. Like he said, his catalong is a "senior citizen."

I've watched different analysts debate how poor of a statement he made after the finals and I'm wondering what they're talking about. He didn't say anything that wasn't true. He should pay no attention to the haters out there and enjoy his life with his family. Everyone else will have to return to their normal lives since the finals are over and there isn't a great deal else on Tv to distract you from problems you have. Everyone has problems. My feeling is that people don't like to hear the truth and people really hate hearing the truth from someone whom they hate. What I hate is what he did today which was clarifying what he said and subsequently getting flack for that. What he said didn't come off to me as someone thinking they were above others. I said once he went to Miami last year that they wouldn't win the title this year and I was right. I had no problem with the Decision except for him needing to have his boy Maverick call the teams during the telecast to let them know he wasn't coming to play for them. Obviously if Maverick didn't know where was going, he couldn't have done it, however I believe he knew. Other than that, didn't have a problem with "The Decision." I'm not a LBJ fan either. I like watching him play, but I'm not a fan. Why did people have a problem with what he said after the finals?

My most recent transaction on ebay was very unique. I received the item way after the estimated date for it to arrive and that was because I contacted the seller to see why I hadn't received the item. That's not the unique part being that I've had to contact sellers a few times to see about when an item was shipped. The seller was apologetic in his response and was nice enough to send me an extra of the same item(golf glove) since it took so long. Now here's where the unique part comes in. The seller stated the shipping on the item would be free. The mail lady knocked on my door and said that she had a package for me and $.47 was owed in postage. My exact words were, "That's interesting." I'd never had to pay postage for an item I received in the mail as many of you probably have not had to do. For those of you who use ebay, you know you have to give the seller feedback. I really don't know what kind of feedback I want to give because there's not enough space to type what I want to say. It was positive that I got 2 items. It was negative that I had to pay postage. $.47 won't break my bank, but whose heard of paying postage for an item you receive to the mail lady? It was negative that it took so long to get the item. Simple math says add -2 to +1 and you get -1. I've given negative feedback once and a neutral rating once out of 350+ transactions. The negative was because I never got the item. The neutral was for some shenanigans although I did receive the item. What rating would you give?

He has made more 3 point shots in the playoffs than Kyle Korver plus is a better defender. He only plays in the 1st and 3rd quarter. The problem last night for the Bulls was they didn't have a perimeter option on the floor for Rose to pass to once he penetrated. The offensive foul he committed would not have happened if Bogans was in the corner as opposed to Brewer who makes enough money, but still can't buy a jumper. Wade would've had to give Bogans more consideration. Other than sticking with the rotation that he's gone with in the 4th quarter all year, why doesn't Tibbs play Bogans more?

Is he trying to say something?

I've heard analysts criticize the Bulls for barely winning their games against the Pacers. The obvious thing is the Pacers are better than there record indicates. Also they played the Bulls tough in the regular season. I've never heard a team get criticized as much as the Bulls and they're up 3-0 in their series. Isn't the mark of a championship team is their ability to win close games. Certainly they need more scoring from Boozer, but the star player does what the star player is supposed to do which is to make a play for himself or his teammates in the crunch. The Bulls won the last game despite a poor shooting night from their star player, although he went 13-15 from the line and made the game winning shot. The fact is the Bulls won the game and are up 3-0. They've not lost a game in the series and may close out in game 4. Certainly they could play better, but this is a defensive series so the stats won't be pretty.

I actually came to this realization a long time ago. I went to the range for the first time this year a couple of days ago after not playing golf since November due to winter. I swing a club in my apartment daily and do some chipping(with plastic golf balls) and putting(regular ball). I found that I wasn't rusty at all unlike last year and I pretty much did the same thing. I haven't hit driver yet so it remains to be seen how I do with that club, but the clubs I did hit, I hit pretty well. There were some exceptions of course, but overall I give myself a high grade. Unlike last year, I was a bit concerned about playing until I fixed a few swing issues. I feel like I could go out tomorrow with confidence without practicing hitting driver. I wonder how many people practice golf without hitting golf balls?

With the expansion to 68, we're talking about teams that probably won't win a first round game. The more you try to expand something that doesn't need expanding, what happens? It bursts. I.E. you have more controversy with teams that should be NIT bound. It should have been left at 64. 4 play-in games? Please! The committee was hitting the haze really hard during the selection process.

Children have no idea what they're doing when they become sexually active. Parents are supposed to teach their children whatever they need to know in order to be successful in life. I have a few friends that say the best sex you'll ever have is with yourself. Your fingers/hands will never get you pregnant, give you a disease, or say,"Not tonight honey." They're always there for you and if it's done properly, they always get the job done. Half of this is humorous, but if you really think about it from a teens' perspective, it's all that should be done at their age. Dr. Phil says that teens' brains are not completely developed so with that being said, decisions that teens make are with those incompletely developed minds. Not good when you bring sex into the picture and especially not good if alcohol or drugs are involved. Obviously I'm talking about a father teaching a son and a mother teaching a daughter. Good theory or not?
