Hi, I recently ordered vbulletin but still waiting confirmation. While im waiting, I was wondering if vbulletin boards had a way of allowing the owner/administrator to add a small icon under certain member's names? What I have in mind is to reward those members that have donated money to my site with a small icon to show everyone that they support the site. Is this possible? Thanks, BobFor vBulletin 2, you would have to inquire at vbulletin.org However, I believe vBulletin 3 does have this function.. Correct me if Im wrong...This doesn't require hacking.

When it is completely up to the person whether to stay in touch or not. Like in my case, I stay in touch with a couple of my friends cause I lived with them when I was on my 20s. They were once a huge part of my life and they re like a family to me at this point. Or is this not how it goes for most people?Usually when that pharse is used it's intended to emphasize how important family and how lasting family is. Like my wife she likes her friends, wants to go party and often fights with me to do so. Fri, Sat, Sun Mon she wants to go with friend! So my Grandma says to her, "Friends come and go", to mean that when all is said and done it's really your spouse and children and parents that matter.

» Do Hospitals Still Use Latex Gloves?
I ask every doctor, nurse, dentist and medical professional I find about their use of latex gloves. Why? Because last year at the age of nine, my son developed a very serious latex allergy. The answer I'll give is that it varies. I talk to some medical professionals who have done away with them altogether. In fact, my son's new pediatrician does not allow them in the office. My dentist still uses them because they are more comfortable than vinyl and the alternatives. Our local ER won't allow them. So it just varies. Medical professionals should think about switching because they do put themselves at risk for future latex allergies. I've talked to so many in the health field who have this allergy now.

how will i know if my gold fish is ready to spawnGoldfish need to be big to spawn. Single tailed fish such as commons, comets, koi, and wakins need to be 20 centimeters or more. Fancies need to be 5 inches or more. The temperature has to gradually increase from 60 degrees Fahrenheit to about 72 degrees like in nature from Winter to Spring. Females' anal openings stick out and males' don't. The male will chase the female around the tank or pond and crash into them to make the eggs fall out when they are spawning.

In each case, the storage unit must maintain temperatures in the 30 degrees F to 40 degrees F range with humidity between 80 and 90 percent.

A 38.6 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hinge and its far end is supported by a cable. The angle between the beam and the cable is 90°. If the beam is inclined at an angle of theta=33.4° with respect to horizontal, what is the horizontal component of the force exerted by the hinge on the beam? (Use the `to the right' as + for the horizontal direction.)You need to assume something about how the mass of the beam is distributed along its length, so I'm going to assume the mass is distributed "uniformly".

But I will take a course at Gothenburgs University after the summer. I've only studied kanji seriously for about a month.

I had to do this too, and the best way to go about it is to tell the boss that you can't get all your work done in a 40 hour period.

My dentist still uses them because they are more comfortable than vinyl and the alternatives. Our local ER won't allow them. So it just varies.

This is done by tone control after an image has been converted to black and white. Bumping up the contrast in the face, or converting to black and white using the blue channel brings out the roughness of skin. Also the lighting needs to play along too. Side lighting, top lighting or doing something to show the texture in a face helps.It all starts with lighting.You mean how to bring out the age in a face?

» Perl deugging / profiling: Checking runtime variable size
Hi, I need to fix the following error in my perl program: Out of memory during "large" request for 16781312 bytes, total sbrk() is 1247642432 bytes at /spfs/reports/bin//cobanalyzer.pl line 4948, line 5319224. The line 4948 is: $query{$key} = $val; I only have time to change a few lines, so, is there any way I can identify which variables / hashes consume the most memory so that I can only optimize a coupld of places? Thanks, MattYou probably want to tie your hash to an on-disk hash. BerkeleyDB's Perl interface is a good solution to a problem such as this. Here is some sample code to get you started: #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use BerkeleyDB; my %query; my $db = tie %query, 'Ber...... - 2010-02-07
» What's better for guitar, notation or tab?
Not only of which one is more simple, but which explains music more clearly.Personally tab... i've tried learning notation several times and find myself going back to tab.Notation!! Hands down.simple one is tab notation explains best and best is to know both wellNotation always gives the most information possible about the music (though it can employ some shorthand!). Tab is a shorthand method and is best for experienced musicians who know how and what to play in a given situation. Notation can show you exactly how and what to play....... - 2010-02-07
» How can I diagnose my iMac?
The processor is revving high when no applications are open it just started doing this. Thanks for your help.Hi. The article below may help to solve the problem of the fans revving at what seems to be excessive speed. I'm not sure which iMac you have, but this is a known issue with these computers. The iMac support page on Apple's website may help to alleviate the symptom. The article indicates that, if only you'd reset the SMC (System Management Controller), the problem would be solved. The first article tells you how to identify your iMac, as if you didn't know...

» Simple Indoor Root Cellar 8 Ft. x 10 Ft.
Simple Indoor Root Cellar Keep Produce Fresh In Cold, Moist Air If you live in an area where fall and winter temperatures remain near freezing and fluctuate very little, you can store root vegetables, apples, and pears in a wide variety of insulated structures and containers. These range from a simple mound in the garden to a full-fledged root cellar. In each case, the storage unit must maintain temperatures in the 30 degrees F to 40 degrees F range with humidity between 80 and 90 percent. The high moisture content of the air prevents shriveling due to loss of water by evaporation. An old-fashioned, unheated basement is an ideal spot for a root cellar, but a modern basement can be used if a northerly corner is available. Differen...... - 2010-02-07
» Hard physics question, about tension and force, please, PLEASE help!?
A 38.6 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hinge and its far end is supported by a cable. The angle between the beam and the cable is 90°. If the beam is inclined at an angle of theta=33.4° with respect to horizontal, what is the horizontal component of the force exerted by the hinge on the beam? (Use the `to the right' as + for the horizontal direction.)You need to assume something about how the mass of the beam is distributed along its length, so I'm going to assume the mass is distributed "uniformly". That means the center of mass of the beam is at L/2, where L is the length of the beam and the distance from the hinge at which the cable is attached to the beam. Tension in the cable is given the symbol "T". Summing moments ab...... - 2010-02-07

» My thoughts on learning kanji
ɂ݂͂ȂI I decided to make a post about learning kanji in order to share my thoughs and to receive some feedback. I've only studied japanese on my own yet, for about four months. But I will take a course at Gothenburgs University after the summer. I've only studied kanji seriously for about a month. Therefore I obviously can't say that much about learning them, but I felt I could share some thoughts anyway. So far I have learned to write and read about 150 kanji. The method I use is that I every third day use this function on my site: http://www.davidhallgren.se/nihon/default.asp?Startwith=kanjiFlashcards.asp. I print and cut out 15 kanji, then split these into three piles with 5 in each and concentrate on on pile a day...... - 2010-02-07

So if I don't get some Benjamin's for my work I'm about to bounce...peace out!!I think what you mean is to get off hourly pay and go to salary pay... I had to do this too, and the best way to go about it is to tell the boss that you can't get all your work done in a 40 hour period. Negotiate with them on the price and let them know they will benefit since you will be able to work longer hours for same amount of pay each week.That's very difficult at your current job...Try this way: Demonstrate your skills, go extra-mile and then make a hint - you want a salary increase.
