After my last graphics driver update, my Windows weather widget started looking like this: What's the deal with the white border? I tried restarting it and adjusting the number of days displayed, but it didn't do anything.

Dandy Cat posted:Just a google search away? Or do you have any places in particular that you know about? Sorry to say it that way, but it was a couple of years back, so the information I had, I would not know if it is current, and I simply do not remember the names anyway. Once it healed, I had no further need, and all that. But like I said, the place I went had a whole bunch of people dealing with cracked tailbones and how to live a normal life until it healed. The doctors I was dealing with were of essentially no use, but the internet had great helpful info.

I want to use a theme for my wordpress site that has a slideshow on the front page, but not the kins that automatically shows images from my most recent posts - I want it to just a few specific images that don't change. What is the best (free) theme to use?

Dr. Video Games 0050 posted:I had surgery and needed an IV hooked up to me for 5 days. Im on my last day. Instead of staying in the hospital, in Canada we have organizations that will bring a nurse to your home once a day to change the bag, clean your dressings and make sure everything is ok. I'm not a lawyer, but I know there's a megathread and you might want to ask there. You may have to be able to prove actual damages or malpractice, such as suffering adverse effects from not receiving the medication (or whatever was in the IV) that you needed. I would definitely report it to the head office of the VON (if that's who was providing the service) or the College of Nurses of Ontario, which is their professional governing body. Remember, Canada isn't like the US in terms of suing for damages either. Edited to add: I hope it wasn't the VON.  They were absolutely awesome after my dad was in a car accident and needed dressings changed daily at home.

It's Acclaim Health, whom I think used to be called the VON. Not sure. I did find the law megathread after and posted there, thanks. Like I said, I don't care if i cant cash out, but rather want to make sure I complain to the right person in order to be heard and not have someone else go through what I did in the future.

I used some seriously expired hand soap (didn't even know the poo poo could expire). It's left a horrible smell on my hands that hasn't gone away after a dozen washes. The smell is awful... Like waking me out of a sound sleep over and over awful. I'm wearing gloves over my hands right now because the stink is so awful that it makes me sick. Anyone know anything that might get this off?

A buddy has an IBM NetVista that can't find its OS. I tried the HD in another computer and ti also wouldn't boot. I'd like to get her another hd and squeeze some more life out of it for her, but it looks like it has to be IDE? I keep seeing SATA --> IDE adapters, which would make the HD cheaper, bigger, and give me a few more options as far as ratings on amazon, manufacturer, warranty. Is it a bad move for some reason? I have limited skills and knowledge about computers or anything else.

I keep seeing SATA --> IDE adapters, which would make the HD cheaper, bigger, and give me a few more options as far as ratings on amazon, manufacturer, warranty. Best route would be to buy an ATA hard drive. ATA = IDE (sort of). SATA is a newer, faster technology, but you can still buy ATA hard drives (that use IDE cables to attach to the motherboard). Its your safest bet to ensure compatibility. However - make sure the hard drive is definitely not functioning first. It might not be a hardware problem and you could get some more use out of the current hard drive with a bit of effort. Looks like NetVista is a pretty old computer though, so odds are the hard drive is dead. Check newegg.com - Looks like you can buy an 80GB hard drive for $40.

Does anyone have any ideas where I can pick one up? I tried looking online at CVS and Walgreens and I couldn't find any in stores. I have to go back to work tomorrow so I need something comfortable to sit on or I'm going to be miserable. If you're desperate, would one of those neck rest pillows - the ones that are a C shape - be of any use? You could get one from a travel store or again, a pharmacy?

If I bring my own travel mug and my own tea (usually loose in a teaball), is it a dick move to ask a coffee shop for hot water and use a dash of their milk to finish it off? I assume no if I'm buying other things, but sometimes I feel like a jerk if I'm not buying anything. OTOH, my tea is better and I don't want to pay to drink crap.

It would be less of one if you were buying something else, or accompanying people who were buying stuff, but try to remember that "inexpensive" doesn't mean "free," so you're being a mooch at best. Honestly I would suggest you try not to be such a hothouse flower and either deign to drink something that's for sale at the shop you're patronizing, or stop going to shops that don't meet your standards.

Why not order a hot tea and ask them to leave the bag on the side for you to steep yourself? Then you'll be paying the same price you would pay to order tea there. If it's a small shop and you go there often, you might even be able to tell them to just keep the tea bag but still pay for a hot tea.

Jurisdictionary.com posted:Most states are comprised of local governmental units called counties, each with its own courthouse where local judges preside over county courts (usually including small claims courts) and circuit judges preside over more powerful courts known as circuit courts. Each circuit has a chief judge who has authority to command all judges in his circuit, from magistrates hearing small claims cases in the county courts to judges presiding over capital murder cases in the circuit court. The chief judge of the circuit answers only to the justices of the state supreme court. The term comes from the days when judges rode horseback from one county to the next along a continuous route called the circuit, hearing disputes that exceeded the jurisdiction of the local county courts. source: http://www.jurisdictionary.com/dictionary/C.cfm

Dudebro posted:Can you go into more detail? Like the word before "circuit" is usually a number. 7th circuit, 9th circuit, etc... The missouri courts website is pretty comprehensive. Hopefully it explains it properly for you. http://www.courts.mo.gov/page.jsp?id=321 quote:Missouri circuit courts are courts of original civil and criminal jurisdiction. That is, cases usually begin in the circuit court, which is where trials may occur. Within the circuit court, there are various divisions, such as associate circuit, small claims, municipal, family, probate, criminal, and juvenile. So basically, there's not a trial worthy courtroom for every county in a state, that wouldn't make sense because some of the counties are so lowly populated, so they combine several counties into one circuit. Furthermore, the circuits are divided up into divisions in very much the same way that the state is divided up into circuits. The map in the link above should help you see that. e:f;b RaoulDuke12 fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Nov 29, 2010 |

Is there a good website for soccer data/statistics? I know there is a wealth of information for baseball (sabermetrics) but how about for soccer? What I am specifically looking for is info on penalty kicks - really detailed info like foot used, type of shot, which way the keep dove, colors of jerseys etc etc. I am in grad school and want to do a categorical data analysis project on soccer penalties. Not sure if there is a better thread for this in TRP... but figured I'd ask here first.

Could the other guy have actually helped him? Yes because in the real world one of two things has happened: The mine misfired or was a dud. I don't have anything to back it up at the moment but I think the movie portrayal of mines comes from a couple things. 1. If a mine misfires after you stepped on it, it's probably best to stay really friggin still and wait for EOD to help. 2. Some mines do have a short delay between tripping the fuse and it firing. What movies would have you believe that most all mines are detonated by the release of the pressure once tripped and not the downward pressure. I think you can see why that really doesn't make much sense. (at least for an antipersonnel mine)

Does anyone know of a page that details the processes by which an ordinary film (like Titanic) would be converted to 3D (as James Cameron said is being done)? I've looked on Wikipedia and googled a bit but not found anything specific about the method. And here's a really obscure question: In The Bill, the UK TV series, I was sure that Mark Kermode played a baddie who Rod Skase was involved with, but I can't find anything supporting my memory.

Thanks for the answers on the circuit question. It was just confusing to hear that thrown out there in conversation when really you wouldn't know what they were talking about unless intimiately familiar with the state court system. I guess it's one of those TV legal drama things. I suppose there are some really well-known circuits though (where major cities are located?)

There's a temperature sensor at the bottom. As long as liquid water remains in the pot, the temperature won't go above 100C. When the excess water is gone, the temperature rises and trips the thermostat to the "done" state. Use more water for softer rice, less water for firmer rice.

I guess it's one of those TV legal drama things. I suppose there are some really well-known circuits though (where major cities are located?) Attorneys who commonly practice in those courts will be familiar with the general demeanor and leaning of that court. Additionally, in many states certain district/circuit courts only hear certain types of cases, so the 61st court might be a Family Court while the 125th might be a criminal court. Technically, either court could hear either type of case, but they structure the docket so that the judges are more familiar with what they'll hear. You're exactly right - it's a TV thing. Two attorneys who live in the same area might talk about "the 61st" and the "125th," which is why you'd see that on legal dramas. It's the legal drama equivalent of medical lingo on the doctor shows. I really can't think of a single circuit that an ordinary person would be familiar with, big city or no. The 9th Circuit in the Federal system is regarded as the most liberal and thus is a little better known; even then, I'd wager that less than 5% of Americans could tell you that.

Check the obituaries for dead young men and then go to their parents pretending you were their friend; happen to notice the acoustic guitar and make up a story about a great memory you had of jammin' out around the campfire and how he always said he was gonna teach you to play. Look away real quick so they don't see you wiping a tear from your eye. Wait a bit. vvvv edit, re: craigslist: I've never done it, but in theory you could set up an RSS feed that would alert you if "free" AND "guitar" ever showed up on craigslist. Otherwise, if one ever does show up it will be gone within minutes. There's kind of a begging-for-poo poo section on there somewhere, isn't there? I recall someone posting something once about people effectively begging for poo poo on craigslist. I'm sure womens have more luck with that.
