» Remington 870 express magnum?

what would you use a 12 gauge 870 express magnum with a 3.5" chamber for?I have the 3.5 version. That being said, I think the 3" shotgun is better made (at least in the 870 line). The 3.5 will help you with geese and turkey. You're just throwing maybe 10-50 more pellets at them (depending on the load) --- which isn't a bad thing for birds that are hard to put down at long ranges. Deer it doesn't matter, the ammo reps (if honest) will recommend you just stick with the 3" b/c the 3.5 offers nothing more with a slug. Modified choke is going to be good for goose. If you shoot anything bigger than 2's you're going to want to sight it in to make sure you shoot dead on. Bnything bigger than 2's and my gun sho...... - 2009-07-03

» SMB-losing WorkGroup?

first off, thanks to the Dev's for all the hard work and amazing results! ok here's the problem; i have 5 comps and the xbox on a home network, the problem only involves 2 Comps, though. everything is plugged into a di-604 router, running as admin, xbmc v2. the 2 xp pro sp2 comps each have shares which xbmc sees fine...sort of. Comp 1 is my main machine. It's on, it belongs to the same WorkGroup as Comp 2 and xbmc, it's sharing a drive. xbmc sees and can access the smb share fine.

I know the 60 GB is better because it comes with a starter kit but do they sell just a hard drive without the starter kit and if they do how much is it?

... incident in Afghanistan? Should Bush or Obama award silver stars to the males or take back the silver star given to Monica?I think the fact that Brown performed heroically in a front line situation, i.e., in the line of fire where according to strict US Army policy female soldiers may not be assigned, was instrumental in the US Army's decision to award her the Silver Star. The idea that a young woman of 18 who had next to no combat experience did her job, and more, since she didn't have to shield either of those soldiers with her own body, while in close proximity to an exploding APC and under heavy enemy fire is unusually inspiring. I'm not sure why you are suggesting that she did not act more heroically than ...... - 2009-07-03

Ikkyu Sojun [Kyounshi] (b Kyoto, 1394; d Kyoto, 1481). Japanese Zen Buddhist priest, poet, calligrapher and painter. He was one of the most unconventional figures in 15th-century Japan, an uncompromising critic of the Zen establishment, both in his poems, religious statements, paintings and calligraphic works and in his eccentric conduct that sometimes verged on the manic. Kyoun (�Crazy Cloud�), his self-mocking sobriquet, is rich in literary connotations and emphasizes his non-attachment to the world, the essential requirement of a committed Zen monk. His famous manuscript of the Chinese verses named Kyounshu (�Crazy Cloud anthology�) reveals Ikkyu�s unique literary genius and also his mercurial temperament.

» If a tree is cut down, and lays for a year,but the wood is not split, is that wood considered "seasoned"?

Not after only one year. It should be split and stacked in an open area for 6 months to one year before it will really be "seasoned"Yes, seasoned just means the wood has been cut for 6 months or so, and has therefore dried out thoroughly. Some woods take longer than others, evergreens which are sappy tend to take the longest. Splitting just helps break up the wood into smaller portions for use as firewood and helps speed up the drying process a bit.I see wood sellers that try to claim this is true. I think it depends how much it's been rained on. It really needs to sit 6 months or more in a dry stack to be fully dry, in my opinion. But if you really want to get technical, you need to test the wood for moisture content. Our local f...... - 2009-07-03

i look like this http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj308... and want my hair to look something like this?? http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj308... what should i do about my hair???GEt someone professional to do heavy "Hi lites" and go to the tanning bed and you'll look great. but it will make you look washed out if you don't get a tan. and DO NOT use stuff you buy at the grocery store. it will really damage your hair and will look yellow and gross. go get it done. good luckHonestly, with your skin tone and your blue eyes, I would say go darker. Go with a golden light-medium brown. It will compliment your skin tone and your eyes wonderfully. The extreme blonde will be too harsh. Good luck! If you want...... - 2009-07-03

» Is courageous the soul who ventures into time and space to learn of their divinity?

For while they cannot lose, they can think they have, and the loss will seem intolerable. And while they cannot fail, they can think they have, and the pain will seem unbearable. And while they cannot ever be less than they truly are...powerful, eternal, and loved...they can think they are, and all hope will seem lost. And therein lies their test. A test of perceptions: of what to focus on, of what to believe in, in spite of appearances. Courageous?No such thing as pain sirSometimes one is not aware of the traveling. Maybe courage would be a factor if one had issues with understanding fear.Okay, I don't know why, but for some reason, what you have just said has touched me more, and makes more sense, than anything I have ever...... - 2009-07-03

» Zidane second at the FIFA world trophy ???

Oh come on, i never really gave plently of credit to that award before but now it got even more ridiculous. I love Zidane even if i was bitterly deceived by his foolish coup de boule, but second ??? You can't tell me he was better than Ronaldhino or Etoo or Henry. I mean he did nothing prior to the world cup, and during only maybe three matches good including one exceptionnal against Brazil. Is that all it takes to win a trophy ? Henry and Etoo must be gutted after the great season they had.I agree the WC weighed too much. Plus, it was certainly a way to wish him goodbye. It's more about Henry not being there that I have a problem with. In terms of performance on the whole season, I really don't understand why he's being ostracised tha...... - 2009-07-03

» Can I do anything to stop my parents from fighting?

My parents fight a lot, and since it's close to X-mas time there's a whole load of crap to get done. My dad's mad at my mom because she's dragging out putting the decorations up and stuff, but she's trying her hardest and she has a lot of other stuff to do so she can't do it all in one day like he thinks she can. She asked me to help today and I said I couldn't because I had stuff to do, and haven't been helping out with cleaning and chores lately because I've been feeling kind of stressed out and have a lot on my mind. I have a brother, 6, a sister, 12, and I'm 16, btw. They always talk to me about each other and how the other one annoys them, and I can't just choose sides or say exact...... - 2009-07-03

» Sony A 700 announced - competes with Nikon D300, Canon 40D

So here we go, Sony is finally stepping up. They put in a GREAT sensor (CMOS, not CCD!) and a lot of really deeply-thought-out functionality. DP REVIEW LINK (http://www.dpreview.com/news/0709/07090601sonydslra700.asp) I have no intention of buying one - I've got a lot of Canon gear and will buy the Leica R10 when it comes to market - but if I were starting from scratch I would seriously consider Sony. They have ALWAYS set the standard once they've decided to get into the professional market. I wouldn't be surprised to see them be a huge photo-brand in the pro market a few years from now. ... if they don't lard it with pointless proprietary technology...Ooohhh... Very nice. Looks to have everything I was hoping for (back when I decide...... - 2009-07-03

» A question about: "What are atheists doing in R&S"?

When will people stop asking this? What does it take for people to understand that it is asked everyday, multiple times and draws sarcastic responses? Why don't they understand that repetition to such an extent is as useful s a third tit on a male pit-bull?They won't stop asking until atheist don't exist.*sigh* People.... What is anybody doing in any other section? Oh yah, answering and asking questions, duh. Unfortunately, you can't rely on Y!A users to check if their question has been asked before. People who are regulars mostly know to do this, but there are many infrequent visitors and daily newcomers who repeat common questions in every topic, not just R&S.

» I had a sudden dizziness without moving, what could it be?

Just a while ago, i was just sitting in front of this computer when i suddenly felt dizzy, like everything was spinning. More specifically, the left side of my head (the part a baseball cap would cover) felt weird, i felt like i was fainting and falling towards my left (i think). I did not feel nauseous or hungry (i just ate supper), nor did i move quickly or spin my head. I was just typing at the computer screen then it just happened. I stood up and jumped to try to shake it off and it went away in a while, probably within a minute, but i cant be sure. Any suggestions on what might have caused it? I will go to the doctor to have this checked.TIA, blood clot moved, a cyst or tumor, and tons of other reasons. Go ask a doctor.you...... - 2009-07-03

When you begin a scenario it actually shows a movie poster with you and your partners. The game itself is not being made into a movie, it just sets up like you are actually playing in a zombie movie.
