Niko?

I have recently built a new deck that uses Cobalion and Cobalion EX in the same deck. I want to use 2 Cobalion EX and 3 regular Cobalion. However, my friend believes this violates the rule of having no more than 4 of the same Pokemon in one deck, but I believe it doesn't, because Cobalion and Cobalion EX have two different names (the EX at the end differentiates the cards). Am I able to have a total of 5 Cobalion in my deck, having two of them being EXes, and will I be able to run 4 Cobalion AND 4 Cobalion EX in one deck?

My George Foreman grill stopped working after I cleaned it. The way I always clean it is that I hang it over the sink sitting on my counter, drizzle water and dish soap on it, then scrub it with a scouring pad. I then rinse it, while still hanging over the sink, and let it air dry. But now, it's just not working. Help?

So I purchased a 6 week old kitten from the pet store to by my household companion. I was told by the pet store that he's been eating both solid and wet foods, but after its first day, it has not touched its food, but drank plenty of water. I tried feeding him a single piece of food, and all he did was continuously lick it, as if he were incapable of eating it. Is he too young for the solid food? If he is, how long should I keep him on wet food (I want him on solids because its cheaper). As well, the cat food I bought was Purina brand, and on the package, it said it was good for cats of all ages. I'm confused...please help!

I'm going to sell my old Dell laptop (it's over three years old), and am looking to buy a new one this week. However, I don't know what kind of laptop is the best one out there these days. A lot of people are saying that Windows 7 is a great program (especially compared to Vista...my old laptop still operates on XP), but Mac has been making great improvements as well. So I'll give you all my diagnostics in what I want in a laptop computer, and please recommend which is better for me, as I am clueless about it.

1) Internet. I want fast computer speed for my Internet (both wired and wireless) so that I may stream videos online without problems.

2) Music. I currently have iTunes on my Dell, and I know both PC and Mac support iTunes (I use an iPod Touch). I'd like to keep on using iTunes, and also have a computer with high volume.

3) Word Processing. I'm going into my 2nd semester of college this Fall, and I really need a computer with superior word processing software. Can Mac support Microsoft Office?

4) Virus Protection: I've renewed my virus protection subscription with Trend Micro PC-illin (it came pre-installed with my Dell when I first bought it), but does Mac provide better virus protection software, or is all software compatible with both PCs and Macs, and simply depends on the company?

My system has become old, and cannot seem to survive the higher temperatures of the summer weather. Unfortunately, my bedroom has poor ventilation, with only one screen-less window that I cannot keep open at night due to the invasion of insects and arachnids. Every time I attempt to play a game or watch a movie, it warns me of overheating and recommends immediate shut down. So I fear a new system may be needed, one of the updated ones on the market like the PS3 Slim. But I have a lot of game data and downloaded data that I do not wish to lose. I see no slot or entry way for the Memory Pro Stick Duo, but is there any way at all I can transfer all my saved game data and downloaded data (mainly the adHoc Party program and the full game Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes) onto a new system?

I'm currently in the Individual Ready Reserve for the Marine Corps, as I served four years and have been released from active duty. However, I received orders to report to Marine Aircraft Group 49 in Newburgh, NY (I live in Connecticut), but when I tried searching for the address provided through Google Maps and my own personal GPS, it cannot be found. I do not want to be late for this muster, so I must know exactly where I'm going. Can anyone help me with this?

I'm going on on a daytime date today with a woman I've been talking with online for a little while now. We've been chatting, exchanged pictures, and all that, and so we're finally meeting up today. This is actually the second time I've gotten this far in online dating, but the first time I did it, I didn't know what to do and the date ended up being so awkward, we never spoke again after that night. So now I'm seeking help from anonymous sources. How do I go about greeting her? Do I hug her or shake her hand? How do I keep the date going smoothly? What do you recommend doing on a first date during the day in San Diego, CA? What should I talk about? How can I make this date go smooth enough that she'll want to keep seeing me? I'm a bit socially inept, so this is kind of hard for me. How can I impress her? Not necessarily make her mine, but to keep her interested in me? How do I DATE?

I have just seen this movie for the first time today, however, I started watching in the middle of it, and have only seen a few scenes. It was a very funny couple of scenes, so I want to find the name of the movie so that I can find it and watch the whole thing. I'll try to be as descriptive as I can.

The stars of the film are Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts. I don't know the plot, but Julia gets kidnapped by some guy, who was hired by her ex-boyfriend to do so. Meanwhile, Brad is stuck in Mexico somewhere, and winds up stealing a car with a dog who tags along, that always carries a flattened football in its mouth. Brad commands the dog by pointing a gun at it, and it does whatever he wants it to do. Brad also kidnaps a Mexican guy, and says this line: "I'm not going to kill you, but I'm going to have to shoot you". Can you help me name this movie?

How about you?

For a while, I've been trying to acquire a Top Contributor status for the Polls & Surveys category. So I've been answering many questions there. However, I was already a Top Contributor in another category, Singles & Dating, and also Video & Online Games. I recently lost my TC status in Video & Online Games, but that's understandable. I can barely answer questions there anymore. However, I have always maintained my contributions to Singles & Dating, and almost everyday, have been getting Best Answers from that category, all the while, contributing to Polls & Surveys. As of this morning, I am no longer a Top Contributor to Singles & Dating, but I am now a Top Contributor to Polls & Surveys. Why did I lose my status in Singles & Dating? I have never neglected this board. Just this morning, I received 50 points for 3 Best Answers in Singles & Dating, and 2 in Polls & Surveys! And I've maintained a 17% Best Answer average since becoming a Top Contributor. Why did I lose this?

I just lost 12 points, and got my first violation notice! This is a bunch of crap, I was only answering the question!

Question: "whats the best phrase u have read on any tshirt?"

My Answer: "Your Girlfriend **** Like A Pro!!"

Here's the kicker. First of all, I deliberately mispelled the explicit word, because that's the way it was spelled on the shirt. I won't spell it out again, I don't want another Violation Notice! Secondly, I was only answering the question. That was the phase on the shirt! My first violation notice! First, I lose my Top Contributor status in the Video & Online Games category, and now this. Is Yahoo! finally coming after me? I'm I finally a victim?

I have a 500GB Media Hard Drive, with less than 200GB filled up on it. When I plug the drive into my television screen, it works perfectly fine. However, when I try to upload it onto my computer, it refuses to open, even though the computer recognizes the drive, so I can't add or delete anything from it. My computer slows down, and sometimes freezes when I try to open it. A colleague of mine inspected the drive and informed me that the USB Port was shot (it did the same thing in various computers), and that I need to return it to the manufactuer to get it fixed. However, I fear that if I return it to the company, I will lose all the data I have on it (which is about 150GB worth of movies, television, and music downloads). I cannot transfer them onto my 320GB hard drive, as I can't access the folder in my 500GB media drive. Is there a way, or a place I can go to (California- San Diego area) to get the USB problem fixed, without losing my data?

Evanescence- Mainly because I'm black. People don't realize I'm half white, but why am I limited by my race? I own 3 Evanescence albums.

Shakira- I love this woman and her music. But the fact that I'm a guy, a black guy at that, means that I'm "not supposed" to like her music. I even listen to the Spanish stuff that I don't understand.

Michael Jackson- Probably because I'm only 20 years old, and I "wouldn't know" about MJ because he was before my time. And I don't care who the hell he is or what he's done. His music won't change.

Whenever I click on "Start A Review", it always directs me to edit my settings. It says I can write a review using any of Yahoo!'s categories, but when I click on the link, it just leads me to the home page. I want to write a review on a video game I recently beat, but I can't figure out how to get started on it. No, I do not want it as a blog, I want it as an actual review. Any ideas as to why I'm always redirected to the edit my settings screen, and why I can't start typing my review?

Singles & Dating:

1) Does he/she like me?

2) Is it ok for me to have sex with an older person?

3) Should I leave him or believe him?

Video & Online Games

1) Looking to battle/trade in Pokemon Diamond/Pearl!

2) Someone giving away their Runescape account?

3) PS3 vs. X-Box 360!

I had recently purchased the video game, God of War II, and was so impressed by the art, I wanted to make one of the concept pictures my Myspace background. Unfortunately, I cannot find this picture on the Internet. So I'm thinking of scanning it myself (I have the Art of God of War II book, which shows all the concept art done for the game), so I may upload it. However, the Myspace Editor I use only uploads URLs from websites, and not JPGs, GIFs, etc. Is there a way I can convert my picture to a URL format, without making a website (I don't know how), so that I may upload the picture on the editor from the web and not from my computer, and make the scanned picture my Myspace background?

Right now, I'm in an "unofficial" online relationship with someone. And she doesn't have any pictures of herself, but she has described herself to me. And based on her description, I became a bit...curious, as to exactly what she looks like. Recently, I was talking to a girl I know, and I realized that her height is the same as my online girlfriend's height. I didn't ask the girl I knew her weight, because that would've been rude of me. However, the girl I talked to was the perfect size for me, in terms of body. A bit shorter than I cared for, but my online g/f is the same height, so I tried to determine my online g/f's body type specifically according to the other girl's. Now, my online g/f told me her weight when she described herself, and it's only about ten pounds heavier than me. At first, I thought nothing of it, but then I realized I'm also 10 inches taller than her. And so I tried to determine that by comparing our heights. (CONTINUED...)

I'm trying to create several characters based on a story I'm writing. However, I was only able to create the male characters accurately. To create my female characters, I need certain Custom Character parts, such as Long Straight Hair, and a Japanese kimono (if not, a robe similar to it). I checked a website, and it says I need to have 2000 battles done in order to unlock all the womens' custom parts. Is there any way I can check the number of battles I've done? I'm sure I've already gotten over 500, because I have most of the Joke Weapons (such as the Ivy Prototype Blade, Imitation Sword, Galley Oar, and Feather Broom). But how can I check the number of VS. Battles I've done, to see how much closer I am to unlocking the womens' custom parts?

A little while ago, when I initially reached Level 3, I noticed that I became a Top Contributor in the Singles & Dating category. I know it was because I was a frequent answerer in that field, and that I maintained a %10 Best Answer ratio (90% of my Best Answers were in that category). But for the past month or so, while maintaining my contributions to Singles & Dating, I have tried to become a Top Contributor in Video & Online Games. I have answered many questions and received many Best Answers in this field also (but I keep getting most of my Best Answers from Singles & Dating), but I have yet to earn that badge. Is there a certain amount of questions you must answer or a certain amount of Best Answers you must acquire to become one?

Every time I try out a new video game system for the first time (not the earlier ones, such as Super Nintendo), I always seem to get overheated, start sweating excessively, and feel very nauseated. And through time and effort of playing, I become sort of, acclimated to the graphics of the new system. Here's a few examples.

When the Nintendo 64 first came out, I had trouble playing Super Mario 64 because it would make me feel sick. I couldn't even muster an hour of game time. But as I played, I felt less sick every time, and increased my gaming hours until I got used to it...

When I first got my Playstation 2, I only had one game: Ratchet and Clank. However, I could barely get in two hours of play time, because it would make me feel sick. But as the same with the N64, the more I tried playing, the more I adapted...

(One more example, plus question)
