Recently my car has been, at times, taking multiple cranks to start. When I turn the key everything comes on that's supposed to (dashboard, radio, etc.) but nothing happens when I try to start it. No clicking, the engine doesn't try to turn over, nothing. After a couple of tries (no more than four, so far) it starts just fine. What could possibly be causing this, and is it an easy/cheap fix? Thanks in advance.

I'm considering getting my little girls a puppy for Christmas. After initial costs, what is the cost of "maintenance" for a dog? Food, vet bills, etc. It would be a smaller dog, 15-20 pounds, probably a mutt.

Does anybody know the lyrics-English of Italian-to Fiorentina's team song? It begins with a horn then goes to "Laaaaaaa, Fiorentina!"

WIth the addition of a 16th team, is the MLS keeping the same playoff structure? I.e., Will each conference be guaranteed three playoff teams, with the final spots going to the best two remaining teams? Or will 4 teams from each conference make the playoffs no matter what?

I bought an Inspiron laptop from Best Buy a couple weeks ago. Part of the deal was it came with 60 free Napster downloads. The coupon code was allegedly in the box, on the box, on the computer, something...I can't remember exactly what the ad said. Has anyone else received this deal from Best Buy? If so, where is the coupon code located? Is it the UPC or what? Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to unzip a compressed file with my pre-installed extractor? I'd rather not download 7-zip or anything. In short, I'm not sure where the extractor is located, and I need to find it so I can use that program to open a file.

I'm looking at getting a new set of irons. I'm a high handicap golfer (usually shoot 95-100.) I'm not worried about getting extra distance, as I'm pretty strong and I have a quicker swing, so I get good distance already. Are steel shafts generally more accurate, or does it matter? Just deciding if I should pay the extra cash to go graphite.

I'm considering looking into buying a racehorse as a little hobby. I heard somewhere you can get started for as little as 10k. Where would I go/who would I contact in order to find out more about getting started in this?

If it matters, I live in the Tampa Bay area.

For those that have been to/live in the Bay area...

I'm new to the area. What are some good but lesser known restaurants in the area (preferably in the Tampa/Brandon area?) I'm looking for non chains. Also I already know of the better known places, like Bern's, anything in Channelside, etc. Where else is good to eat?

Does anyone (other than Jeep) still make a Wrangler-type SUV, with a removable/soft top?

Since the NHL expanded it's playoff format to 16 teams in (I think) 1980, what was the highest seed to ever reach a Cup Final? What's the highest since they realigned the format, giving each conference eight teams?

Say an astronaut took off their helmet while in outer space. What specifically would happen to them, and what would they feel en route to death?

Just curious as to what sites you guys like for MLB projections. I'm looking for something that will project stats that are sortable by category (more specifically total bases.)

Does anyone know how many games MLB's new tv station plans on airing this season?

This is my first time cooking Turkey Day dinner. I have a couple of questions. 1) What size turkey do I need for four people (well, five, but one person is only two-years-old)? and 2) What time should I start preparing side dishes (traditional stuff: stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc.) to be ready to eat around 12:30 or 1:00? Thanks in advance.

I jumped into the 21st century the other day and decided to change from hotmail to gmail. Here's my problem: when I'm typing an email, only about 75% of the letters I hit register. My emils ndup lokng lik ths. Anybody know why this might be? Thanks in advance.

I'm planning on buying a Wii soon, and I was curious what all I should get accessories-wise. Is it imparative to have a pair of nunchuck controllers in addition to the regular controllers? And what is the "recharging station" for?

I got some lacquer thinner on the seat in my car, and I was wondering what I could use to remove the smell. FYI, I have cloth seats.
