I use to be a pretty religious gamer playing games from starcraft, cs, dod, c&c, battlefield 2, unreal tournament, warcraft, maplestory, diablo, wow, guild wars, and so on… But now, I’m completely busy with a job and other things and so I really don’t have as much time to play. So I’m looking for a PC game with a worthwhile singleplayer. The reason im not looking for a multiplayer or mmorpg is that they usually have to be time consuming to have fun like WoW or some online RTS ladder. I recently got COD4 by a suggestion from a friend and the single player was amazing. I also got Crysis but it was a bit boring with just eye candy. So any suggestions? Newer games with high graphics would be more appreciated. Ty

Mid-size notebook: The Toshiba Satellite A215-S4697 is a mid-size notebook, perfect for light traveling or staying at home. This notebook has more than enough dual-core processing power for basic computing, entertainment and online communication—everything most people need.

Dual core/64-bit processing: The 1.6GHz AMD Turion™ 64 X2 TL-52 has two processing engines that work together, providing much more power than standard 1.6GHz processors. This processor can also process 64 bits of information at once, twice as much as older 32-bit processors. AMD PowerNow! enhances mobile performance and extends battery life.

This notebook features 1GB of advanced DDR2 system memory—enough to easily handle most computing tasks.
HyperTransport technology works like a fully-integrated frontside bus that increases bandwidth, reduces bottlenecks and enables processors to work more efficiently.
L2 caches keep data neat, organized, and nearby so processors can retrieve it quickly. This 2 x 512KB L2 cache will give the processor a little boost.
Hard drive: This 160GB hard drive has more than enough room for the typical collection of music, movies and multimedia. This drive’s data disks spin at 5400rpm. The faster they spin, the faster the data is read and written.

DVD SuperMulti drive: Burn DVDs and CDs to share your files, music mixes or home movies. You can even burn DVD-RAM discs—specially-formatted discs that let you drag and drop, or write and rewrite your files up to 100,000 times.

Widescreen display: This 15.4” widescreen features 1280 x 800 pixel (WXGA) resolution, providing sharp detail and plenty of room for whatever you want to view.

Microsoft® Windows® Vista™ Home Premium: This is the operating system for homes with advanced computer needs. And Vista Premium features the elegant new Aero interface. You’ll be able to use your notebook more effectively and enjoy new entertainment experiences—all with the benefit of added security and reliability.

Graphics and audio: This notebook features ATI Radeon® X1200 graphics and 319MB of shared video memory—drawn from system memory. You’ll be ready to enjoy fast-moving games and video. Built-in stereo speakers round out your multimedia enjoyment.

ExpressCard/54 slot: ExpressCard is an emerging standard in smaller, faster PC card solutions. This slot is compatible with ExpressCard/54 as well as ExpressCard/34. Use it to add memory, graphics upgrades or security devices.

My husband and I are struggling. We are under a load of stress and loosing lots of sleep. See i just filed for bankruptcy before we got married..so i basically wiped all my debt, but now here comes my husband and he is in a 10,000 debt! We haven’t been able to pay our rent im so afraid..I dont know what to do. We are past due on many of the bills..I’m even struggling to send my kids to school with lunch money. Is there any type of personal loan or consolidation loan that will help us so that we can only make one monthly payment instead of several payments a month? I want us to get back on track and most places now seem not to care and dont want to give second chances to people like us..its so sad.

I have heard that there are good profit margins in blind sales. However, I don’t have 5 or 10 grand to buy a franchise. Has anyone heard how I can get into a blind business of my own without having to “break the bank” on sample books etc. I would like to start small and build the business.

We are recent college grads (he already has his Masters), and I’ve owned a small business before. However, we’re so young (in our early 20s) that we won’t get a loan big enough to start off. Any tips for what we can do to improve our chances at a good start?
We’re looking at about half a million dollars for the jewelry, cases, and rent.

I’m looking into franchise opportunities and was wondering if anyone in Yahoo! Answers have any ideas about how good The UPS Store franchise is. Things like how much is needed to start. How long to break even. How profitable it is, etc.

Thanks.
