This. Easiest way to do it.

You scared off anyone else posting their pictures by showing your own work.

I've been using Google Wallet for a while now and love it. I haven't ordered the Google Wallet card because I haven't needed it. But if you link a bank account to it, there's no charge to transfer money. The loyalty cards are great too since Google will automatically put the bar code to scan in your notification center when you walk into the store.

I went through three yellow top optima batteries in a year. The only reason I kept getting new ones is because the warranty covered them. I wouldn't buy another one as its annoying to have them replaced under warranty because the store has to test the battery for 24 hours before giving a replacement.

If you get a trail bike, make sure it isn't electric start only. I've been stranded before with a Yamaha TTR that only had electric start. Had to push it to a hill high enough to bump start it.

Chromecast is awesome if used with an Android device. You may want to add Google TV and Android Fire TV to your list of things to check out: http://youtu.be/TNOsB8tRmWU http://www.amazon.com/Fire-TV-streaming-media-player/dp/B00CX5P8FC

2 NYPD officers shot, killed in ambush on cop car
lunarpowered replied to RED333's topic in General Chat
I'm not too far from Memphis, and I've seen an overwhelming amount of support on local site comments for the piece of trash that shot the officers. -
Input from auto mechanics is appreciated..

Coolant finally arrived for the car and I was able to get it into a shop. They told me that many of the cars suspension parts needed to be replaced to the tune of $2900. Too rich for my blood, so I plan to order the parts and do the work myself. I was also told the head gasket is blown. The dealer will be replacing it at a later point for $2500 along with the timing belt and open recall. I also found out that only 30,000 of these cars were made. Makes it a little difficult to find parts, but I've heard it increases the value. -

I really appreciate the info! There is no specific reason that leads me to believe it is a head gasket. I've never had a car leak coolant and when googling for causes, head gasket seemed common. Trekbike, I'm really glad you said that head gasket leaks are usually internal as I was starting to worry a bit about the high repair costs. I haven't checked to see if the oil is cloudy yet, but will try and do that soon. Planning on taking it to a shop as soon as the license plate comes in to find out where the leak is coming from. -
I purchaed a 2005 Subaru Baja a few days ago with 180,000 miles on it. I didn't notice any leaks when I bought it, but now I am seeing some coolant accumulate below the car. The coolant level is low, but it was low when I bought it (I haven't been driving it with low coolant as I've been waiting for the license plate to arrive). From looking online, it appears previous models such as the 2003 Baja are notorious for blowing head gaskets. I haven't done a block test yet to see if that is the issue. Also, I'm not sure when the timing belt was last replaced, but the serpentine belt doesn't look too new. I got a quote to replace the timing belt, along with other various items such as the water pump, pulleys, etc.. For $1200. I've seen people saying it could cost up to $3000 to replace a head gasket if that was the issue. Would that make the vehicle 'reliable' like it was new to have that done or should I be looking at engine replacements? I don't mind spending money on repairs to make the vehicle reliable, but I don't know how those repairs fully affect reliability. Thoughts?

The bottleneck is your Internet. Its likely your cat5 cable is actually enhanced which means that it supports up to 1000 Mbps and if not, it would support up to 100 Mbps. Your Internet speed is only 12 Mbps max. As far as N and AC go, you will only see an internal speed increase using AC devices and most devices are still G/N.

Lollipop's and Androids (Welcoming All Geeks)
lunarpowered replied to GlockSpock's topic in General Chat
I used my coworkers Nexus 5 with Lollipop. Graphics are insanely smooth and I really enjoyed the new interface. He's having battery drain issues after upgrading to Android L though. I personally have a Droid Maxx for the insane battery life. Still waiting on Lollipop for it, but hoping I don't have battery issues after. -
Really? No one is into quality flashlights?

Both. I was looking at a 20 piece set that had both chef knives and steak knives. I'll check out the sites/brands you recommended.
-
I've checked both sites and surprisingly they were more expensive than local retail. Thanks!
-
I'm looking at getting a set of Wusthof or Shun knives. I'm leaning towards Wusthof as they appear to keep their edge longer. Does anyone have a recommendation or know where the best place to get them is? So far, Bed, Bath, and Beyond had a 20% off coupon on the Wusthof which seems the cheapest.

I take a zyterc at night (makes me drowsy) and then it takes care of my allergies through the next day.

We are getting a dog!!! Where to train and which one??
lunarpowered replied to Ladyhay's topic in General Chat
I should also add that dobermans should be considered inside dogs as they cannot handle cold weather. -

lunarpowered replied to Ladyhay's topic in General Chat
Dobermans have been the best dogs I've had. They are extremely smart which makes then very easy to train. Mine are currently in a training program through Petco. Prior to owning the two that I have now, every dog I've had wasn't very loyal (i.e. would run out of the gate when it was opened and make you chase them around), but the dobermans have been the complete opposite. No matter what you decide, make sure you have an insurance company that won't drop you for having a large breed such as a German Shepherd. -
Back against an object seems like a really good strategy if you're armed or able to defend yourself. Otherwise it could mean while you won't get knocked out from behind, you may not have anywhere to run.
