  • My ribbon plant looks like a midget palm tree. Can it be saved?

    My ribbon plant, near and dear to my heart, has lost some of its lower leaves. I water it once or twice a week, but it looks like a three foot tall palm tree, and looks like a gust of wind will snap it's tiny little body in half. Should I put it in a larger pot with new/more fertilizer? Is there any way to make it a little stronger? Is it doomed to resemble a palm tree for the rest of its life?

  • Japanese characters not showing in Java application?

    I hope this is the right place. A website I visit often is in Japanese. The main program on the site runs on Java, and instead of characters/letters there are little boxes. I'm not sure if this has to do with language packs or something else, but I've looked at the Java website and other places to try and find a solution. One place said that there was a way to add Japanese fonts to Java, and another said that there was an International version of Java (as opposed to regional language packs, etc.).

    Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Has anyone dealt with this before/heard of a solution? I can't have a Japanese-only pack either, as I use multiple languages on my computer.

  • If I install the ubuntu os, will it import information from the vista, or wipe the drive?

    I'm seriously considering changing to ubuntu, but I want to know that it will keep installed programs, files, etc. And will ubuntu run the programs I used with vista (photoshop, sims, etc.)? I'm also tempted to put ubuntu on my parents' computer, and would like some opinions on the system, as well as what people think of it compared to vista and xp.

  • Search on computer only leads to sale sites. Help?

    When searching on this computer, the search either doesn't go through or it just brings up false links to sites trying to sell things. Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware program doesn't find anything while looking, and the search engine is google. The results page also shows a google.com web address.

  • Do digital SLR filters work with regular film lenses?

    I'm checking out some filters for my 35mm, and I wondered if the filters used for digital cameras, slr cameras, etc. would work with it. I'm looking to add a filter to a 52 mm zoom lens, and a lot of the filters I look at are for the SLR cameras.

    Thanks.

  • How would you record horse show results in a newspaper?

    I write articles on a local horse group for the Horse's Maine, and I want to know how best to record the results. There were 23 classes, with 6 places in each. Should I narrow the reported results to the top 1/3 places, or send in the entire list?

    Any ideas?

  • AVG/Outlook Express causing internet to shut down?

    Whenever I try to send a message using Outlook Express, the internet shuts down as soon as I press the "Send" button. I've read through a few questions and answers and someone pointed out that programs running in the background may have something to do with the internet not working. AVG does a daily scan, and I was wondering if while it scanned, it may affect my internet connection whenever I try to send something out or receive something. Any ideas/answers? Wondering if anyone else has had this problem before.

    Thanks!

  • Horse brand registry? Or if someone can identify....

    Not sure where this horse came from. He's likely half quarter horse, not sure if he may have some Tennessee Walker in him. He has a brand on his upper right rump and on his left hip. The left hip is either an upside-down "g" or a backwards "6", and the right rump is a "B 3" freeze brand. Not sure where he came from, or if there are any registries with brand pictures, descriptions, etc. If anyone knows the brand or any additional information, it'd be pretty neat. We don't know his history, we got him off a slaughter truck which probably came from out west. Many people have wondered if he is part Tennessee Walker, so any information on either his identity or where the brands may be from would be appreciated.

    Summary:

    Brand on left hip is either upside down "g" or backwards "6"

    Freeze brand on right rump is "B 3"

    Any brand info appreciated, or brand sites with possible matches.

    Horse info:

    About 15-15.1 hands

    Palomino

    About 16-18 years old

    Possibly part Tennessee Walker

    Sold at auction in Western state?

    Has been trained

    Some scars around ears

    Skye (didn't come with name):

    "g" or "6" brand:

  • Buy Japanese manga on english site.?

    I'm looking for a manga series called "Dolls" by naked ape, and wish to buy the Japanese version since it appears as though it hasn't been licensed in English (I have conflicting reports). I was wondering if there was an ENGLISH website (I am horrid at reading kanji and can't find my way around on a lot of Jap. sites) where they sold the untranslated versions of the books. Any help is appreciated, even if you simply give me a website (I can probably go from there to find the actual manga).

    Thanks!

  • Which One Piece Movie...?

    Which One Piece Movie has Nami threatening a chlid on their ship, because of the fact that he said he didn't want to live anymore? She stole Zolo's swords to do it, if I remember correctly.

    Also, no answers that say "IDK." You won't get any best answer for it, and it's a form of spam.

    Thanks.

  • Maine/catalogue wholesale jewelry-jumprings.?

    I live in Maine, and am currently looking for a place that sells wholesale jewelry supplies, mainly Jump rings. I'd rather go to an actual store, if possible, but if someone has a website with a catalogue which is mailed, and has reasonable prices on jump rings, then that information would be appreciated. I'm going to need a LOT of rings, so any help is appreciated (working on Maille project). Also, if anyone has information on "Wigjigs," or any other jump ring-producing product, then I could use that too.

    Not particularly interested in playing around with online ordering forms.

    Thanks.

  • Finding horse information in Maine: Reistered Appaloosa?

    I have been riding a registered appaloosa, Bittersweet Smoke, and he was bred in Hallowell Maine. I know his parents (Sweet Sable and Bitterroot Sheik) and his reistration jumber, but I have not been able to find out which registry he was a part of, or his family past his parents. I checked allbreedpedigree,com, or whatever it is, but there is only a name "Bitterroot Sheik," no additional information besids the name. Does anyone know how I could go about finding his information, or any ideas, or is there an extremely low rate of success?

  • "Do you wanna do this" commercial lyrics? Also, Bionicle commercial?

    It was a few years back when I heard a really catchy song on a sneaker commercial, or something like that. It had lyrics that were something like "So do you wanna do this," sung by a male singer, with what sounded like shouting teenagers in the background shouting "Just do it!"

    Also, does anyone know the song in the current bionicle commercial, with possible lyrics "you will be the death of me," or something like that.
