There was a TV commercial I saw the other day with a woman brings home a new shelter dog and is in her house with him. There sitting across from each other just looking and she tries to roll a ball for him. The dog looks nervous and not sure and just lays down and then she lays down with him. At the end of the commercial the dog brings over the ball.

Does anyone have a link to an online video to this commercial or where I can find info on it ?

Hello,

Im thinking about getting a mini cooper as my next car. I just wanted to ask people who own them or had them already what they liked and didn't like about it. Any big problems ? will they last 5-6 years ? My current car a 2002 Chevy Impala is falling apart after 5 years.

Also how did you buy your Mini ? you own loan through a bank or through the dealership ? Is the Mini Select Plan a good deal ? Anyone used it before ?

Hello,

First let me say I'm a little crazy about backing up my pictures, that being said my current setup is I have 8 different external hard drives that I use to make 3x triple backups of all my pictures. Every wedding is on 3 different drives, plus I upload everything to smugmug for an online backup and I copy everything to 1TB hard drive and it gets locked up in a safety deposit box at my bank. So actually there is 5x backups, The problem I'm having is its just not efficient since I have to be the one to copy everything by hand. Plus the amount of space the 8 drives take up on my desk and under with cables and plugs is a huge. I have been looking into a better way to do this and so far have come up with (2) ideas.

1. HP EX470 MediaSmart Home Server w/ 3x TB drives and 1x 500gig ( only cause that's what comes with it ) I have been looking at this but am worried that it creates a pool from all the hard drives and not sure if it would be a good backup to keep redundant or even triple backups like I need. Plus the need to take it apart and upgrade the memory doesn't sound fun.

2. Drobo 2.0 - This seemed like a good choice since it just like a raid system and makes backups of all data, the problem I have read about his is if the unit it self dies then it has been know to corrupt and kill all four drives in it. Thus losing all the data, I wouldn't be as worried but more than one reviewer of this has said it happened to them.

My questions are has anyone used or still use either of the products listed ? And what do you do to backup and protect you pictures? What do you recommend ?

So I was watching TV last night and came across the "pick up artist" on VH1 and other than last night I had never watched it. It showed a bunch of guys who are super shy and have no game at all trying to go up and talk to girls and totally getting rejected. So it got me thinking what are some of the best and worst things guys have done and said when coming up to you at the bar ? What works and what doesn't work ? And what do you recommend ? Thanks

Is there anyway for my friends who have Aol AIM and other friends who have MSN to be able to chat all together ? We all have web cameras and want to be able to chat together. Is there a program or way to have us all be able to do that ?

Thanks

I am 26 years old, weight 165lbs and am 5'11. My last body fat meaurment was 24% 4 weeks ago. I currently am on the Men's Health TNT Diet, witch is No Carbs at all - Just meat,veggies,cheeses,protien shakes,water. I also work out 3 days a week to a intense workout plan outlined in the TNT diet book with a personal trainer. 4 weeks latter I dont feel I have dropped any body fat or I cant tell. What else should I be doing to help speed up my body fat loss ? My goal is get down to around 7-10% body fat by June. Is this possible on my current plan ? what should I do if anything different ? Any helpful advice would be great...

My best friend is getting married this summer and is having a martini bar at his wedding that will serve martini's all night. The thing is he needs to pick 5 to offer at the bar.

I'm looking to buy a 3rd computer to do just Digital Video Editing, I'm a Professional photographer / videographer and have 2 computers now that I do all my work on. I have no problems with Photo, Its Video i'm worried about. I use windows XP and have Adobe video editing programs I use to do wedding videos. They work good most of the time, They do crash and give me probelms as well. I thought that maybe buying a new computer and having just do video would be best. I was thinking about a new IMAC, Does anyone have one now that does video work on them ? How is it ? Better or worse than a PC ? I priced them both out and get more for my money on a PC than a IMAC -

IMAC- 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB -750GB-SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) - 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB memory 20-inch gloss

PC - Intel Core 2 (2.66GHz) 4GB DDR2-800MHz 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT - 750GB 7200 rpm - DVD+/-R/RW - ATSC-NTSC TV tuner with PVR, HP 22-inch LCD Wide

My best friend of 10+ years is getting married this summer. He has asked me to be the Best Man for the wedding. I was really happy to find out about it and now have allot of respoinbility being the best man. So now knowing ill have my hands full that day being best man. My friend and his soon to be wife cannont find a wedding photographer in there price range. As it turns out I happen to be a Pro Wedding Photographer and my friend wants me to shoot the wedding and be best man. I understand he is in a bind and needs a photographer, but this is the first time I have ever been asked to be Best Man or even been in a wedding in years! I know if I have to shoot it as well as be in it I wont have any fun and will be working the whole time. Plus leading to problems after the fact if I miss something becasue Im in the bridal party as well. What should I do ? Shoot it ? Be Best man ? Both ? What should I tell him ?

Can anyone tell me if its bad to sit on your feet ? I hear people say its bad for you , and some say its nothing. I sit and work all day and am very flexabile, and sit on my feet often. Am I harming my body at all by doing this ? Short term or Long Term ?

Anyone know of a way to get out of a T-mobile contract ? I have a sidekick with the data package, the contract is up in July 08 but I dont even use it at all now. I just want to cancell it and be done. The ETF is $200 I think or $175 ? Not sure but with only 6 months left on the contract it would just as much to pay it or end it ? any advice ?

So I have a T-Mobile Sidekick 3 that I’m selling on ebay because I got a new photo with Verizon and I have no use for it now. I took some pictures of it myself and posted it online a few days ago. I also sent an email out to all my friends before putting it on ebay that I wanted to sell it and if anyone wanted it they could have it. No one got back to me until yesterday when one of my friends said she would buy it. I told her it was already on ebay and to just go bid on it. So as it turns out she gets a email today from “someone” who is pretending to be me saying this –“Good news! The following eBay item on which you placed a bid is now available for purchase because the seller has a duplicate item for sale.” And the email came with this personal message – “Message of the seller:

Can you please tell me if you are still interested in my item 250208470086 ?I need to sell it as soon as possible and i`m ready to sell it for only US $120.00 .If you wish to buy the item for this price, please contact me as soon as possible.

Waiting for your answer.

Regards,”

So here is the thing, I don’t have another one to sell and I never sent that email or message to anyone. She forwarded me the email and its got all the official ebay logo’s and text on it. And when you click the Item URL – it takes you to my page with the sidekick Im selling !

This has to be a scam! So guy is sending emails to people pretending to be me. what should I do ?

Hey does anyone know how to take a normal song / mp3 and make it a instrumental song. Basically keep the music but remove the lyrics and voices. Is there software for this or any ideas ?

Hey I’m the best man and have setup a trip with 7 friends including my best friend who is the groom to go to Las Vegas this summer. Were going for 3 days and have got some ideas already for going out and hitting some clubs and going golfing. I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for fun stuff to do in Vegas. Maybe some good websites to look at? Anything good, I’m open to some ideas. Is there any indoor / outdoor paintball places or maybe high power gun ranges. ????

Fitness Ideas

I need some advice; I’ve been working out with a personal trainer 2 days a week for the past 3 months. In that time I have went from 150lbs to 165lbs and dropped from 21% body fat to 18% body fat. The work out plan for the past 3 months was 2 days a week I would meet with the trainer and do an hour of weights each day. And then on my own I would 1 day of cardio for an hour that day. So 3 days / 3 hours a week, during those 3 months I eat healthy most of the time. I never eat fast food, but I did have pop time to time and more than a few martinis when I would go out. In that time I have noticed a big difference in strength and I noticed my muscles are getting bigger. Now my goal is not to be some huge weight lifter with huge arms or anything like that. My goal is to drop my body fat to less than 10% and get a wash board six pack abs. After the past 3 months I was un happy not getting the results I wanted so I talked with my trainer and was told I had to do more cardio. So starting the first of the year I went from 3 days to 5 days in a row. And am now on my 3rd week in a row of Mon-Fri training every day, I now do 2 days of weights and 3 days of cardio all in a row. Each day is 1 full hour and the cardio days I always do a minimum of 5 miles and try to burn at least 650/700 calories each time. I mix my cardio up with running/ spinning/ swimming/ and the elliptical machines. I also went all out with my diet, cut out pop all together. Make 80% of my meals at home now, and stopped eating take out food all together. My question is how long to you think until I can start to see the results I want? Is there anything else I should be doing that I’m not to help me lose the extra body fat I have and get more toned and lean. And any ideas about how to get the six pack I really want.

Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Hello Ladies can you please answer this for me, what is more important to you when your single and looking to start dating, Personality or a Great Body in the new guys you meet? I know both would be best but if you had to choose just one which is more important???

Hey,

I have been looking at a bunch a wedding photographer websites in my area, and I find allot of them dont list the prices for there packages or whats included with them. All they say is contact them or email them for more information or a quote. And then a few do post the prices, What do you think is better ? What would you do ? Do you think its better for them to show the prices so its easy to tell right away if they are in your budget or does it seem better to have to contact them first to get the price information...

Thanks
