  1. Sorry to bring the dead out but this topic definitely deserves necrophilia . This game was the craziest thing I'd ever discovered during my hiatus from work. I spent such a long time playing it that I am pretty sure I would've made it into the headlines along with the dead WoW player. The best part was getting my mother into it, she isn't a fan of tower defense of strategy type games but she was the biggest asset in my artillery :lol:My mother actually helped me cross a few of the levels, it was awesome.. This game is definitely awesome and I think you can play quite a few levels online. Anyone still playing this game?
  2. Thank you sheepdog for all the information This was a plant I actually selected because of the flowers, I think they look darling and I am waiting for the new blossoms since the current flowers seem to be withering. The thing is that the three plants share a trough so I am not sure how to prevent excess water from reaching the orange flowers. And my mum saw a caterpillar today, She drowned it after panicking So that is another important question, is there a way I can prevent bugs or are caterpillars fine? The man offered a pesticide but I want to stick to natural fertilizers and protection methods if possible. A cousin recommended I add powdered egg shells to the soil.. She also recommended vinegar as a pesticide but I am not sure whether it is safe for these plants. And I am taking your advice on watering habits, I won't water them until the soil looks dry, I have a plastic tube in the tray so that I know whether the tray is dry only on the superficial levels or dry even at the bottom.
  3. Drinking 4 day old beer doesn't seem like a great idea anymore

      I drank most of it and decided to leave some for breakfast the next day.. Forgot about it and found it in my refrigerator.. I think the cup of tea after the beer was a bad idea.. Either way, the beer was horrible after sitting open in the fridge DX

  4. Actually the non editable feature is a really good one since it prevents members from adding rubbish or removing content from their posts. And like yordan mentioned, you can always contact him or you can contact me to have your posts edited.
  5. I actually found this a fun phone to have, for regular users yes I understand it can be bothersome to use two hands for manipulation but for people like me who use a cell phone only when sitting down, I think I would keep myself entertained for a really long time with a phone like that :unsure:As for lumia and asha, pretty excited but the design for asha really put me off, Lumia I don't mind, just need to find myself a sponsor now
  6. Yeah, I heard this from a friend.. The dude is into celeb trash gossip, he pings me like the world is about to end and then says "Kardashian headed for another divorce".. I wanted to punch him in the face..But I think everyone knew that the marriage was never meant to last though it seems like the groom was unaware of the divorce proceedings, I feel bad for him if what he said is true. Overall I think we need to sweep this under the carpet lol
  7. I actually have had that happen to me many many times too and I reported it to Opa who says that it should get fixed on its own when the next upgrade is done.. It is kinda lame but its not really that big a deal.
  8. Being raised up in a green environment as a child, the constant moving around curbed any greening of the fingers But yesterday while on a stroll, I came across a man selling some plants and on an impulse I bought myself a tray and 3 flowering plants... Now the problem is that it has been so long since I tended to a garden of mine... So I decided to get some tips from members especially sheepdog Firstly I have no idea what I picked up and secondly there was an obvious language barrier thing going on so the only tips I got from the man were :- Water twice a day - morning & eve. Can be kept out in the sun. No vegetable compost(peels & so on) but tea leaves on the sides are fine. Requires fertilizer every 15 days. But he didn't cover topics like soil maintenance, fungicides/pesticides and size or maybe he did and it just flew over my head . But my main concern is the size of the plants, I don't wish for them to grow too big and cramped in the pot.. I specifically asked for short plants which is why I got these three. He showed me some petunias which I might pick up if these babies last for more than a month. Help? Plant number 1 Plant number 2 Plant number 3

    Hello

    Maybe you'd like to start a thread for Photoshop tennis then? I am pretty sure members will participate if you opened a thread
  11. I originally had this very old samsung phone which I kept aside since I got htc pro.. But traveling and HTC don't go all that well so I recently got a new phone for my birthday, its Samsung Champ Duos. It loads the forum really nicely but the thing is the text placement, its all iffy and I really need to be able to post through my cell phone like I would on a computer so the rss & email option is a no no for me I think there was a mobile skin for the forums earlier.. Any ideas about that?
  12. Thank you and I totally agree with you, butterflies are troublesome to capture especially with a ghetto camera So I usually setup sports mode and crank up the lights so I keep clicking until I find something good. This one was by far the luckiest shot since the butterfly popped out of nowhere onto my hand and it stayed still until I could pull out my camera and take a picture (I keep my camera on me all the time ). Yeah, they are water buffaloes, during the monsoon the herdsmen usually let them loose to graze wherever they wish, the birds are common herons here and they sit atop the bovine to pick pests off their back. I have a picture of a heron taking a step onto the back, looks cute. The latest pic was of a lightning storm at a relative's place, I had to take close to 200 shots and only 7 were salvageable. The best one is below

    Hello

    Like Mich said, you truly are an asset. A big welcome and I hope you will stick around, you sound like a really creative person, as creative as your username "SeekReadWrite". If you have any doubts about how to participate on the forums, feel free to pm any of us and we'll gladly answer any question you have.Waiting for you to flood our creative sections of the forum especially the photography and graphics. I say we should have a sig of the week What do you think Mich? Anyway hello again and hope you like it here
  14. Welcome back Mich we missed you here. I heard of your unfortunate situation and I got complete info about your issue from the support techs. You should know firstly that your site wasn't suspended at all since there was no invoice due for the hosting account itself. The module for Add funds was the cause of confusion in your case, it follows a protocol where you create an invoice with the amount you want to add into your credit panel and then once paid, the amount is added as credit. Since you didn't complete the payment, the invoice remained which is why it said 16 USD due You don't have to worry because those invoices will be removed and you should be able to use PayPal again. PayPal was recently verifying the accounts owned by Indians which is why we weren't allowed to receive payments, to avoid confusion the gateway was disabled until PayPal finished their verification process(ks link) My only request is that you update this topic with a status on your issue if resolved or not Take care, see you around.
  15. I bet after Dorothy got rid of the wicked witch, whoishostingthis decided to hire the flying monkeys... Probably thought they could put the monkeys to good use for a cheap price, Well they are as smart as their monkeys because I have had just about it with their stupid website and non updated data. Some information to those who are confused, apparently whoishostingthis is a website that accurately tells you randomly guesses where a particular website is hosted as if reliable domain resolvers like whois.sc or who.is weren't doing this already. I do not know how they add the data or how they verify that a site is indeed hosted with a particular company but today, I reported the 6th or 7th wrongly listed url. We received a complaint about a domain being a fraudulent one being hosted with us, when I perform a basic ping check.. It clearly isn't hosted with us but the suckers at whoishostingthis.com list the domain as hosted by us. What sucks even more is that they have a "whois" feature that shows the domain pointing elsewhere and the info was "LAST UPDATED on the 11th October 2011".. I mean seriously people, TAKE THE EFFORT!!! You can tell from the nameservers that it isn't ours :| Can't they at least DO THAT? you know, check the nameservers... Confirm the nameservers used by Xisto.. Jeez, morons. This is highly irresponsible since obviously the buffoons don't understand how a result right or wrong affects the reputation of any online company. Has any one else had any issue with their website because this is seriously getting on my nerves. In short WhoisHostingThis SUCKS!
  16. Well firstly I guess we just wait and watch because the tablet will not be retailed for another month and the price it will be sold for is 2,999 INR or 60 USD. As long as the battery and speeds are highly compromised, I would definitely buy this gizmo since it would come in good use while I am traveling. As for the features, as long as I am able to type without frying anything I think I should be fine :PIt is true that it won't be a replacement of any kind for a laptop but it would be an ideal gift for the technological noobs since it would give them the pleasure of having something fancy without really confusing them or costing too much
  17. I put my money on two companies, samsung and AOC. Samsung when I can afford it since it is much expensive than all the other brands around here but it is definitely worth it. AOC is comparatively cheaper but still gives you a decent and I mean strictly decent quality... I use an AOC as a spare since my eyes don't really do well with their monitors for some reason.The Samsung monitor though is beautiful I do have a problem with widescreen monitors though, for some reason they really bug me because of how pages look on a widescreen monitor as compared to a square one which is why I veer towards the samsung monitor more since it is a square one.
  18. Though I hardly watch T.V anymore, I do like to watch VH1 in the wee hours, movie channels like HBO with my mother and the most watched channels would be Discovery channel, National Geographic or Animal Planet.
  19. I earned 3 more dollars through 8 posts I think so this is another advantage of having a decade plan since students who need a basic testing platform but can't keep up participating on the forums could simply post for 2 days straight, get the decade plan and then not worry about the renewal. This is most advantageous to people whose websites don't need to grow.
  20. Off topic I totally get what you are saying because breeders incapable of breeding the right way seem to have complete freedom(corruption)while the good breeders who love their dogs and take the effort in respects to vaccinations, feeding & nursing are given a serious hard time. I have come across many breeders who join hands with vets for the sake of profits and get their mongrels, defective animals a certificate of good health/pedigree... A lab/boxer mix female actually got her pedigree certificate "pure labrador" because of a vet Dogs with problems with hip dysplasia or malformed/single testicles are not allowed to breed to avoid the bad genes continuing BUT sadly breeders DO end up breeding these unfortunate animals who end up siring defective puppies and you would know how expensive treatment is for hip dysplasia not to mention agonizing for the pups Many owners are fooled into buying sickly puppies and then get rid of them humanely/inhumanely. Now coming back to the topic, I saw the video and trust me, the way they were skinning those animals... wow, I wanted to skin those people.. Though my post is clean, I was really cussing out when I was writing it. And the worst bit is that there is nothing that could stop those people unless you abandoned the product itself or who knows, they might realize these dogs could be put to use in some other fake fur racket.
  21. Topic is resolved.Please PM any moderator to continue this discussion. Until then, this topic is closed.
  22. Just to keep things updated and close the topic :-None of our hosting plans currently come with a dedicated ip address bundled into it. But you can buy a dedicated ip from Xisto - Web Hosting for 2.49 USD per month or 29.88 USD per year. Topic closed.
  23. Currently I am watching the James Herriot series all over I had watched these as a wee little girl and find it an entertaining watch mainly for Robert Hardy and his portrayal of Siegfried Farnon But I do watch shows like Masterchef Australia, Top Chef and random other comedies with my mother since she likes having company while watching T.V.Top Gear is a show, me and my father watch together as a bonding ritual.... Cars we never would own is a good topic to bond over I suppose even though my dad has driven many of the cars they've reviewed while I haven't >_>
  24. For some odd reason, I like reading a detailed synopsis of a show before I sit down to watch it. I did that with far too many shows and movies. So I was thinking of writing the synopsis & reviews for the shows I watch. If any member is interested, I do not mind sharing the work load since shows having 8 to 9 seasons would be difficult to finish quickly I was thinking of opening a topic "X show season 1 episode summaries" and then each post will have an episode. Any one interested?
  25. Healthy foods are those that supposedly keep us healthy and fit but in reality there is no way you can determine a general class of healthy and unhealthy foods because each body type handles a particular food in a particular manner, like the mahesh is not allowed calcium even though it is considered a building block for our body. Milk, a universally considered healthy food can caused uncontrollable diarrhea in many people if they cannot digest it. Even while managing calories, you cannot self doctor yourself because in reality we aren't trained to do such things. My mother's genetics gifted me the skinny gene so come what may, I cannot seem to put on weight but that doesn't mean I can eat anything and everything that comes by me, my brother has lived on Ramen for a month(bleh!) but I cannot withstand fast food, I almost dug myself a grave the one time I had to eat fast food for a week. I would say, in order to manage your diet properly, you first need to get your body evaluated by a doctor, then make a list of foods your body can withstand and the foods it cannot.. Present this list to a nutritionist and then coupled with right exercise manage your diet.
