Hello again. In the last month I've begun working out, and recently I've decided to add the "Couch to 5k" jogging plan to my week. However, nearly 10 months ago, I broke my pelvis in half and also broke my feet. My feet I'm frankly not that worried about, but I don't want to risk re-damaging my pelvis.

This is the gear I'm rocking nowadays:


(this image is over 9 months old)

I walk fine, I can get up and down stairs and stand on tiptoe. Aside from flexibility issues and endurance, which I imagine will come the more I exercise, I feel nearly 100%.

Would jogging be too much for me within a year of my accident? I've texted my PT but she hasn't replied yet.

It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am.
Maybe, maybe not. Ask your PT or doctor. I know you already did, but the point is that everyone is different and recovers at different rates. No one here can tell you. The best policy, beyond asking a professional, is to avoid doing anything that hurts and to not push yourself too hard when dealing with injuries.

On the Netflix website, when a non-member goes to "Browse Selection" for the watch instantly movies, are those all the movies they offer (instantly)? Or is it just a sample?

I tried this and it seems that the formID URL parameter is throwing the program off. The program is designed to cycle through a directory like "/images/image00X.jpg" instead of my "?formID=X" parameter. It just ends up saving a bunch of 0KB junk pdf files.

Sort of odd to me considering if I type in the link manually I can get to the PDF. You'd think the downloader would behave similarly.

Try jdownloader actually. It's free and it's one of the best programs I've discovered...ever.

Play around with it and figure out the basics of how it works.

Go to the linkgrabber tab; add URL and parse the URL; see what happens.

Sup pelvis breaking buddy. Mine wasn't busted up quite as bad as yours looks like, but anyway I wasn't able to jog within 3 years. Main reason wasn't the pelvis, but the sciatic nerve damage from the pelvis surgery, which meant I didn't have too much control over one foot. I can tell you that after about three months, the pelvis didn't give me too much trouble when I strained it -- it was all the other stuff that happened to me (foot breakage, nerve damage) that gave me more trouble as I transitioned from cane to walking to jogging. I wish I had more relevant advice for you.

Hi folks, I'm hoping that someone with greater search powers than I can dig up some information for me. Right now Terminal C at Logan airport in Boston is being renovated. Part of that renovation is a bunch of new stores and whatnot being added to the terminal. I can't find out anything no matter how much I try to dig around the net and I need to know what these shops are going to be. Everything is so vague, I can't even find the name of the architects or building company or anything to find some sort of project overview. Can anyone help a brother out? I hug you.

I actually work in that terminal so I've already asked everyone immediately available, but thanks so much for offering to take the time. That part of the airport's been pretty stale for a while and we every-day employees want to know what's coming. It's pretty sad but it was a big deal when one pizza place closed and became a different pizza place and we were all excited. There's nothing within walking distance and nobody parks here so we're stuck with terminal food if we don't bring anything from home. The whole construction project should be complete soon and I'm just wondering what I should expect because there's rumors flying all over about these great options but I'd like to see what the developers actually have planned. So from that summary you can see why I wouldn't ask anyone to spend any of their IRL time investigating, I'm just asking for people who have that certain ability to find anything using search engines.

I talk to Massport people somewhat often but ARE WE GETTING A TACO BELL just doesn't seem to fit into the conversation very well at any point. But thanks again amigo hope you have a nice trip.

e: I did send them an email using that link hopefully they get back to me.

That's too specific and might not even be true. Ask about what new restaurants and stores might appear at the terminal.

Hi there
I'm going to be on a trip to Zimbabwe soon, and was hoping to take some money with me on the grounds that I'll be in an area where the chances of finding an ATM is very low. However, I'll have a stopover in South Africa, which has quite low restrictions on the amount of money you can take with you.

Does anyone know if this restriction will apply to me, being that I'm literally just going to be hanging around in an airport for two hours?

If you don't have to go through customs/show your passport/have a visa then the restrictions shouldn't apply to you. Police in airports can always do whatever the gently caress they want though.

I've got a desktop and I just bought a new hard disk for it. There are only 2 places for hard disks in the case so I've replaced the secondary one. Now I want to replace the 80GB C drive with the 500GB drive I just took out. It's a bit old and I bought it refurbished so I don't have the xp install cds and I'd like to avoid that if possible anyway.

Can I make an image of the 80GB drive, make an 80GB partition on the other one and just copy the image onto it? It sounds way too easy.

Should work if you clone it using clonezilla or like tool.

E: Actually if you're not using the whole disk but just want to make a 80 gig primary partition it is a bit more tricky.

Say a business's slogan is "careful with our resources", what is the correct capitalisation when used on its own, say under a logo?

Careful with our resources

Or something else? Specifically, I have seen the last one used and wondered if it is correct. I am not too hot on this area of the language.

For titles:
"With" is a preposition, and those are not capitalized if short, which this is.
"Our" is an adjective, which are always capitalized.

So the proper method for a title is:
"Careful with Our Resources"

However, this is a motto, not a title, so I don't know if the same rules apply.

I'm in an admin apprenticeship in a debt collection company right now, and set to get the qualification within roughly the next 2 weeks. On paper, it says my apprenticeship ends in January. The company I am with wouldn't see it as necessary to increase my pay to minimum until then, qualification be damned, and I have no way to increase it through commissions despite asking.

I've also been offered an interview at another place run by a colleagues' brother as admin for a truck depot, with opportunities for financial training, but it isn't a sure thing.

I have no idea what to do and just want some advice.

It's kind of ghetto, but you don't really need a slot for a hard drive, you can just lay it on the bottom or stick it wherever it fits. Or you could buy an adapter to hook the hard drive up to a USB slot instead. You probably would have bought an external HD if you wanted to go that route though.

Assume the worst for both sides. Which job would you rather toil for another year at if there were no promotions, no raises, no career advancing opportunities? How much is that qualification worth to you outside of your current job? Do you like it enough to consider doing it elsewhere, where the cert might still matter?

I'd rather go to the depot and work there, as it's just down the road compared to a 40 minute commute.

I'd want to stay to finish the apprenticeship as I've been there since last December, and if I were to leave right before I get it it'd just be silly. Plus, it's something to put on the CV.

I like doing the admin and helping people out, but it's got to the point where they're taking the piss out of me in terms of duties to pay.

If the standout reason you'd want to switch jobs is because of a change in commute, that's not a really strong enough reason, imo.
I mean, 40min each way is pretty numbing, but unless your pay is low enough where fuel costs and maybe lifestyle issues can really justify trying to cut commute time down, I don' think you should switch.

That said, take the interview and try to get specifics about how and why they'd give you the ok for the training there.

I wear superstars, so I'm not totally familiar with the exact makeup of sambas, but I use a fingernail brush for the suede parts and windex wipes for everything else. If your shoes don't have suede, you can probably use anything that is made for cleaning leather, as long as it's not for a specific color of leather.

Every hard drive manufacturer provides software to clone your old drive to a new one. If you didn't buy a boxed retail drive, and you can download the software from their website.

Don't bother making an 80GB partition, and just clone over the entire partition and expand it to fill the drive.

Can someone tell me why it's popular for deadbeat Dads to run away to Florida?

I was told a very, very long time ago there were laws or something like that protecting them from paying child support or at least being jailed for not paying.

My father is mentally and physically ill and ran away to Florida in '98 or '99. He has never paid child support and owes me like $200k. I don't want to get it back - In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm emancipated from him so I can't get it if I wanted to. He's been in jail several times for domestic violence, DUIs, failure to pay child support, violating probation and restraining orders, the list goes on. Somehow when he moved to Florida he was absolved of all of this and nobody has been able to "reach" him since.

I just feel like I hear a lot about deadbeat parents running down to Florida and getting by somehow with no jail time. There has be a reason why Florida is a hotspot for lovely parents.
