Penguins = Stanley Cup

4500 @ $879

4900 @ $1079

I can't decide if the upgrade is worth it for me. I ride on some rough trails and would use the bike several times a week. I have an old hand me down now so I'm sure either of these would be a huge difference for me.

I want to make sure it's durable and will last me. I can see the obvious improvements from the two models but are those worth the $200? I don't see any benefit in the 10 speed vs 9 speed (for my use). How about the other features? Would the upgrades really offer me much improvement and/or durability?

Thanks!

i think its either 27' or 29' monitor

I'm not sure what the power supply is...came stock and I know that would limit my upgrade

Not looking for anything crazy so probably just the peak for my PS.

It seems to of been overheating while playing higher end games. Can I upgrade the fan too? How much does that cost? Would upgrading the video card fix both?

Would a place like bestbuy install it all for me?

All I ever see are the 250GB bundle with Allen Wake and that racing game and I don't want either of those. Will they change the bundle package for the upcoming christmas holiday you think?

I'd rather get the Halo Reach bundle but wouldn't need the extra control. I wish they had a bundle for the 250GB but instead of those two games just give me a gift card or something else like the HD AV caables that I can use!

I would like a fish only marine setup. I have a 58 gallon tank and a 29 gallon sump tank. I haven't set it up yet, still in planning stage. Any suggestions for the fish? I want something cool to look at but not a picky fish.....if that's possible.

I am going to use a spare 29 gallon as my sump tank but still pretty lost as to what needs to be done. I have a Seaclone 100 PS which I hear sucks...but where does this come into the equation? I have my overflow from display down to sump...then does it drain into the Protein Skimmer...do I even use the protein skimmer? For this setup what kind of price tag am I looking at? What would the pump and the overflow cost?

I have a 58 gallon saltwater I will be setting up soon. I also have a 29 gallon tank I am considering using to sump pump.

I don't know much about this stuff - I have seen some pretty cool DIY but if I can get a something in the store all set up for under $200 Im going for that.

First of all - does the sump pump and the overflow box come in a package at pet stores? Would it come with all the tubing I need? What kind of setup is involved?

Thanks!

I have a 53gal. tank ready to go for salt water...about $900 later. I also have a 29 gallon tank that I am considering setting up as a spill off / 2nd filter for my main 53 gallon tank. I am just not sure that

A) it would be worth the effort (no idea what kind of fish I am going to get yet)

B) how i would do it.

the 53 gallon tank came with a stand and there is a drawer in the bottom that could hold the 29 gallon tank. If I got some pvc pipe and a pump that'd be cool to have that act as another filter. Seems like the pump would need to be pretty powerful and noisy to carry the water up that high though. Any thoughts? Does that seem like too much? Would it work and be worth it?

I am heading to the library to pick up a book on aquarium, any suggestions for salt water? Any good sites you can recommend for salt water? Appreciate any help.

I cannot decide which one to get.

I have a PS2 now so all my old games could still be played which is a plus. The other plus for the PS3 is that there is no subscription for online gaming. I don't know why people say live is worth the charge over PS3s free service - feedback on that would be great.

Best Buy is bundling a tv and ps3 together which looks pretty sweet and has me leaning towards that. Help me decide.

I am buying a pair of jeans online. I normally wear a size 33x32. The site only gives one size though? It just says 32 or 34. Aren't they missing some other measurements? Which one should I get?

The only ones I see are bundled with allen wake and some race car game...by the way all those bundles seem to be back ordered or sold out.

Is there a way for me to get just the 250gb console?

I use Firefox.

I have a large monitor and when I go online I get large border areas and the web page is in the middle, my screen is about 29'. I would much rather have the web page expand to fit my screen than leave just a blank border around the web page.

I know I can hold ctrl and the + key to enlarge the screen but is there another way....to tell the thing hey, i want you to enlarge all web pages to fit my screen so i dont have to do it manually each time?

I just read that at&t is going to do away with unlimited data plans for new customers...being that I am current customer I believe I can keep what I have.

I was hoping to see how much data I use a month, when I check my iphone it has an option to view "network usage" well there is a part thats sent and received, would my data usage be the two combined? Is the number it shows for the month or something?

If I use wifi that wouldn't count towards my data usage right? Its only when I use the internet via the Edge network and 3G?

Sure I can call them tomorrow but hey, you guys are pretty handy too. Thanks for any/all answers!

I have windows vista 64 bit. I have adobe which always worked fine...then I opened it to check for updates, there were some updates so I downloaded them.

It ended up creating a shortcut to my desktop which I didn't want because I hardly ever use it. So in moving it around I believe I accidentally moved the adobe icon that is on my desktop screen over another icon to which it had a plus sign and it added the adobe to that other desktop shortcut?

Either way, after that the icon that I dragged the adobe thing over would not open after that.

I ended up deleting the adobe icon and to put things back to normal I did a system restore.

Now not only can I still not open that other icon up but Adobe is giving me an error! When I go to look at a pdf on a web page I get a blank screen! I clicked on the start button and did a search for the adobe program. I found it and tried to start it but get a message:" error 1311.source file not found: c\program.........blah blah.....verify that the file exists and that you can access it."

When I right click adobe and view properties there is a tab called shortcut. Under this tab there is a section called "start in" which is now blank. I know it wasn't before though. Under the general tab it gives a location for the c drive.

How can I get adobe to work again and how can I get the other icon I dragged adobe over to work again? That icon was a shortcut for my netgear wireless internet card. I would love any advice - thanks!

Well my old laptop died. I didnt really have any data on there except my music which is on my iphone. Well I got a new computer and now I come to realize that I can't transfer the music on my iphone onto my new CPU!!!!?!?

What the heck is that about?

Is there a way?

I got new health insurance about a year and a half ago when I started a new job. I was sent a dental card and a medical card in the mail not a vision card. Turns out that was by mistake, I was supposed to get a vision card too (doesn't make sense, why not just give me one card!).

Anyway, I have a medical condition with my eyes and I guess growing up my parents would put some of my eye exams under medical not vision coverage. I went in to get a check up at my eye doctor. I hand them my insurance card and they ask for my vision card...immediately I'm confused because I know I have the vision insurance but didn't know I had to give them a separate card. So I proceed to explain that growing up sometimes due to medical issues it was billed under medical. They say ok, just send us your vision coverage info later and we will get you squared away.

I paid a small fee that day and called the next day to give them all my vision info. Now a month later the doctor sends me a bill? I called and asked and they said the medical coverage denied my claim. I didn't even know how they filed it since I gave them both a medical and a vision card.

I called my vision insurer and they said it was the medical people that denied it not them. The vision insurer said tell them to send the claim and we will pay for it all. I call the doctors office to explain and they say they can't send the claim through as a vision claim because they already sent it through as medical. The doctors office said they cannot and will not, they aren't allowed they tell me

I call the insurer to tell them this. The insurer says that's bogus. They call the doctor and request them to file a claim. The doctor tells them they can't file the claim as vision because it was a medical procedure? I just had a routine eye exam and a refraction. That's what I got and that's what the doctor told me to tell my insurer. Now when the insurer calls and asks they say otherwise. The bill the Dr sent me has no codes or info explaining what the charges are for, it just lists insurance companies and dollar amounts.

I'm going to request a more detailed bill. The secretaries haven't been helpful or nice. I don't see what's going on. I mean I have the insurance why can't they just file it? Why would they just start doing procedures on me without my consent? If they preformed something other than a general eye exam I should have to agree to it first. Any advice?

I already have a Bachelors, considering jumping industries completely and going back to school to be an RN. Is it common for medical centers to offer education assistance? Say if I were to become a patient care tech and want to go to school to become a RN while working for them? I wonder if any of my old credits would count towards the new program?

I have a Giant 24speed Mt Bike and the shifter on the left hand side won't work. It clicks but the derailer/chain doesn't do anything. First of all is there a name for those gears? Is it the high or low or just the left hand side gears? Well to explain there are 3 rings on one end and 8 rings on the rear wheel, it's the 3 rings that won't shift...it's stuck on 1.

I was able to take a look and I see that there seems to be a lot of slack in the cable. I just used my bike the other day and it was working fine. Then I go out today and it wouldn't shift which seems odd.

Its dark out now I can't see much and I'm really hoping it's just a matter of me tightening that cable.

Do you need special screwdrivers to fix the derailers or tighten those cables?

-How about some opinions on Mt Bikes...My Giant is a hand me down from my brother. It's worked great over the years and I would consider my self an extreme rider ie: I ride down the steepest and bumpiest trails hitting huge rocks and roots and the bike seems to be in great shape with little maintenance. I know people who hit these bumps and their chains fall off. If I wanted to get a new bike what would you recommend for an extreme rider for under $1,000? Thanks all for your advice and happy trails.

There is are about four really windows (a little smaller than a loaf of bread) on either side of my front door. They do not open or anything, just glass for show I guess. Well one of them has a crack in it and I have no idea how to go about making the repair. Where would you even find a piece of glass like that? It seems like it would be a real pain to fit a new piece in there. Any advice appreciated! Thanks

I drank between 12-16 oz of coffee the other day. The water used to make the coffee was stored in a plastic 1 gallon water jug for about a year and on top of that it was the water from a dehumidifier. I'm going to call my Dr. tomorrow to see if I should get antibiotics or something. I feel fine with no symptoms but I'm still worried that it could be damaging me without any major symptoms.

The water was probably brought to a quick boil from the coffee machine (percolator) and went through a paper filter as well as the coffee grounds. I would assume the water was full of bacteria and all sorts of nasty stuff.

Here are my answers to questions that I know people will ask:

1) No I couldn't taste the difference, I guess the coffee masked the bad taste

2) I have no idea why year old dehumidifier water was being stored in water jugs

3) I thought it was a gallon of distilled water so I used it. It was really early in the morning and I was rushing.
