Hey Guys,

I'm going to new york in a few months and will be purchasing a guide book for my trip. I've been looking at the Lonely Planet Guidebooks and I see that Lonely Planet has to different ones for New York City.

So basically, I want to know if anyone has any recommendations on whether or not I should purchase the Discover New York City Travel Guide (http://shop.lonelyplanet.com/usa/discover-new-york... or the New York City Guide (http://shop.lonelyplanet.com/usa/new-york-city-cit...

Something has happened to my dell inspiron 1501 laptop, because every time I turn it on, within 30 seconds of me logging on, I will hear one loud beep and then the computer will freeze. This happens all the time and the only way I can get into my laptop is if I go through the safe mode. I know that I probably have a virus or something, but can anybody tell me specifically what I have to do to fix my laptop because I do not want to have to re-format it.

I recently downloaded a program to help convert video files from one format to another, however whenever I turned my computer on an error window would open saying that one of the "program files" could not be found. The program still worked fine, however the error message was appearing upon every start up so I uninstalled the program. Yet the error message still appears every time the computer turns on. Anyone got any ideas?

Hey guys, I just recently started working out again after a year off. Originally I was at around 230 pounds and I got down to 205 and now I want to get down to about 190ish. I was just wondering if I should take creatine and whey protein. I took whey when I dropped from 230 to 205 and my friend told me to take the two supplements to increase muscle. But I'm already a pretty strong guy, and right now I more focused on just losing the weight. Should I continue taking creatine and whey powder or if I should stay off of it and just try to lose the weight. Im mostly worried about water retention and stuff like that.

Any advice??? Thanks a lot everyone

I've been working out for a few months now and I've lost a lot of weight and built up quite a bit of muscle. Overall I've gone down from 230 pounds to 190 pounds and I feel great.

My one problem is, that in my opinion it looks like I haven't lost any fat whatsoever in my chest and stomach areas. I know that you lose weight all over your body slowly, but I've lost over 40 pounds and I'm getting really close to my proper BMI, yet I still see quite a bit of chest and stomach fat.

Does anyone know why this is happening, or does anyone have any advice on what I should do to lose more chest and stomach fat>?

About 7-8 months ago I started running anywhere between 3-5 times a week in order to slim down a bit. When I first started running I would run around 20-25 minutes a session and I gradually started building up from that.

A few weeks ago I finally started running about 45 minutes a session, but during my first 45 minute session I found that my left knee really started to hurt near the end of the run.

So I stopped running for about a week, I iced and stretched my knee everyday and after a week everything felt fine again. However now whenever I run, my left knee ALWAYS starts to hurt within the first 5 minutes and I find that the next day or two I can never walk up or down anything because the pain will be too much for me.

Does anyone know what's happening/does anyone have any advice for me? I always stretch before and after I run, and I always ice myself after I run as well. I read somewhere that it may be due to being overweight but I've lost a lot of weight since I started running and I don't know why my knee and only my left knee would start hurting now as opposed to before.

Thanks a lot everyone

Hey everyone.....there's this girl who I've been great friends for a few years now. I had a big crush on her when I first met her, but then we became very close friends but a while back I realized that I do really love this girl and I told her how much I care about her.

She told me she cared about me as well but was scared/didn't really have time for a relationship right now. Things were going great for a few months, we spent hours on the phone every day and I thought it was all going well, but then one day she told me that she felt awkward whenever I held her hand or anything like that and that someone had told her that I had been doing certain things with other women when I had not.

Does anyone have any advice on what I should do/what I should get her to prove how much I love her. One thing that Im thinking of doing is making a scrapbook for her.

Hey everyone, there's this girl that I've been really great friends with for quite a few years but for the past couple of months I've wanted to be more than just friends with her.

I told her that I cared about her and she told me she cared about me, and everything was going well, we would talk for hours on the phone everyday, we were getting really close and then one day she told me she felt uncomfortable because apparently someone had told her that I was doing things with other girls, when in fact I had never done anything with anyone else.

Does anyone have any advice on what I should do. I really care about this girl, its more than just a like thing, its more like a love thing to be honest.

Hey everyone. I currently have two tennis racquets, the Wilson Hyper Carbon 6.6 and the Wilson Titanium Stretch 7.0. I've had them both for a while and now I'm planning on getting one of them re-strung and I want that to be my main racquet. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me which racquet I should use as my main or give me some of the pros and cons of both of them. I want a racquet that gives me that little bit of extra power.

Thanks a lot everyone

Would anybody be able to tell me the best way to lose the chest fat that I have? Awhile ago I started working out about 3-5 days a week and although I haven't gone in about a month, because of exams I'm planning on starting again next week.

Usually I'll do a lot of bench presses and other chest muscle building excersises, and I usually try to run hard for 20-30 mins each time I'm at the gym. Would anybody be able to tell me what else I can do to lose chest weight or what I'm doing wrong.

thanks a lot
