I just got a Vivitar 3188 for my birthday.
And i was just wondering, is there any way that i can use it for a webcam?

Yes, it can be used as a webcam but some reviews claim it doesn't make a very good one. Check your manual on how exactly to set it up.

i need a cheap webcam with good visual quality and a microphone. i need to buy it soon. any ideas? thanks sooo much

I'd recommend Logitech QuickCam
http://www.logitech.com Some are cheap and have built-in mics. You can usually find them at your local Radio Shack too.
I have one, don't really use much, I got it from Microsoft after beta testing Live Mail/Messenger. You can have it LOL.

http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=82216d24&sliceId=2 i went here and I'm following their directions but i have no idea what they mean by the browser application bundle. can anyone help me out?

All that means is it contains the executable and related information pertaining to the software you are trying to install. This is an add-on. It could also mean more than one program but it's probably more about one program in your case.

my church is having a picnic soon, and i need some ideas for food, cause im in charge of getting everything together and organized. can anyone tell me some of their favorite foods?

Well, for the winter time I'd suggest the following (these are my favorites by the way);

Potato and cheddar soup with sourdough bread.

Homemade mac and cheese. (made with cheese food, like Velveeta)

Chili (no beans please)

pulled pork BBQ

I am a believer in Christ but i want to know about satanism...salem and all of that. Is that bad? I want to search about it but i am scared of what might be the outcome...God might think I am a sinner. I do not want to convert or anything i am just curious...so if anybody has any sites or any suggestions or just any comment that can be beneficial towards me i wil really really appriciate it.
Thank you.

Just a quick note. Satanism and Witchcraft are two entirely different things. Salem witch trails had to do with women who were charged with being witches, practicing Witchcraft. In Witchcraft, they don't believe in Satan but they do believe in two gods. Your best friend is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Find You can search for your answers to Satanism and Witchcraft in great detail.

I'm going to audition for Americas next top model in two years. What things can I do to prepare myself for modeling and the challenges?

Let me be the first to say congrats and good luck. Two years is a bit away but it's never to late to start a regimen. Eat right, exercise etc... I'm sure you know that already. If I were going to model. I'd start by keeping abreast of current fashions, the designers and who's who in the modeling industry. I'd start by perhaps reading the bios of the top models and seeing how they've succeeded and then applying my own art to it. When you get there, be willing to take criticism well. Don't take it to heart but learn from it.
P.S. Few years ago I used to date a FHM model.

I honestly don't see why people fuss about their first kiss?
I think it's just stupid.
Can someone explain why it's ''such a big deal''
Thanks! =]

I guess it really depends on who you are. To some, doing something the first time is worth remembering. Turning 16, 18, 21, getting your driver license, first date, graduation, buying your first house, first marriage etc... Maybe you've had your first kiss and wasn't really that impressed with it and don't understand what the big ordeal is about. I wouldn't worry about it too much and just let those other folks have their fun.

on my myspace profile, when you go to click on a link, it turns red. whats a code i could put in so intstead of turning red it turns black? thanks

In HTML in the Body tag put in:
vlink="#000000"

CSS put in:
A:visited {text-decoration: none color: black;}

I don't use MYspace so I am not sure how they work. (Yes, shocking, I know.)

If they have a built in editor change the "visted link" color.
Either put in the word black or use the Hexadecimal color code #000000
Make sure to make a backup just in case! I haven't messed with cascading style sheets in a while.

Well, I'm a huge fan of music and I've just recently discovered The Beatles. Yes, I'm a little bit behind the times, but my roommate got me into them. Anyway, I need a list of all of their movies. I've searched online, but I can't fine many of them. The only names I've been able to locate are "A Hard Days Night" "Help!" "Magical Mystery Tour" and "Yellow Submarine". Are there any more?

Not an answer at all, just a little "share session" of useless info you don't need...don't know if we can do that here but here goes. I remember watching that Yellow Submarine movie in 3rd grade. We also learned to play the guitar too. I think my teacher was a hippie. LOL Yeah, I think that's all of them. Now, John Lennon did some stuff while he lived in New York. You might want to search the net and check out the names.

im babysitting 3 boys tomorrow nite. i have no idea what to do with them!!!!
any suggestions?
-i think one will be asleep by the time i get there.

15/f

If you would have given their ages it would have been better. You can have the older one help out if need be, like throw away a diaper, bring a bottle etc... Wrestle with them. Become a monster. Hide around a wall and call them, when they come by jump out and growl and tickle them. My two boys love that sort of play. Also to, if you are watching infants and get really discouraged by crying, make sure the kid is in a safe place, like a crib, his tummy is full and no gas, diaper is changed and he isn't in any pain and walk out for a couple of minutes. Just keep an earshot out so you can hear if he is still OK. More than likely he may just be tired and cranky and wants to sleep. You might want to ask the parents what normally happens at the time you arrive. They should be able to give you details about what goes on at that time. And as any parent knows, you live around your kids schedules.

im entering the houston livestock show this year and im drawing a fair mule and now that im finished i dont know what to call it. it needs a crafty title, like my friend painted a track that was on the side of the rode adn she called it
"supercalifragilio tractor" does anyone have any ideas about a crafty title???

Here's a few I thought of.
"Mule Daze" (like, school days)
"It's a MuleAcool" (like, it's a miracle)
or
"Mule-a-cool" (like, musical)
"mule-it" (like, mullet)

Good Luck!

Any Info would be great! I am 30 years old and pretty healthy. For about 10 days I have had alot of pain around my right eye, it travels in lightning jolts to my ear, my jaw, my teeth, an hits me hardest in my temple. I dont have any medical and my fiancee wants us to get married early like next week so I can have tests done and feel better. I want to marry him properly like we planned, but I am getting desperate!I have prayed, took migraine meds, ex strength tylenol, antibiotics, you name it, nothing works. I feel like I want to die sometimes!Does anybody know what this is??

Unless someone here has a medical degree and is a Dr. I can only advise going to the ER. They'll take you if you got money to pay or not. Don't worry about a bill if your life is in danger. You can always pay them back when you get better. Anyway, hope it's something minor.
Good Luck!

why would someone pick mac over a pc?

for graphics would a mac be better then a pc? such as a tablet pc?

and if its not would there be a way to improve a mac to live up to a tablet pc?

Personally I rather run a Linux box and like Ubuntu. I use Windblows and have used OS X 9. Macs are excellent for video and graphics editing but PCs are good for all around working.
It really depends on what you need a computer for.
Here's a an odd bit that really doesn't pertain to your question. Next time you are watching TV or a movie and you see a laptop, look at it real good and 99% of the time you'll notice an apple. If not it will be some made up brand, like "Dale."

hey, how do you get the part of being an extra in a movie? do you have to be in the right place at the right time?

Not sure where you are at but call these people for more information:

I don't know if I put this under the right subject or not but

I don't go to church because I'm always busy with school and other things, but I was looking for a church that does prayer by letters, or something like that when they send it to you in the mail.. And you send it back

I know a lot of churches have pod cast. You might be able to find a local church online, watch the sermons and you can then donate to that church if you want to join via the web. Most online churches I've seen too have a way you can email for prayer and don't usually show the singing but just the preaching, so it's a bit quicker. Hope that helps you out some.

where can i find a site other than youtube and itunes that plays music videos

You could try Google Videos, Dailymotion.com or Peekvid.com Oh, wanted to add to if you don't use Winamp media player, you could download it and they've got XM Satellite radio with lots of other cool stuff and vids, movies, tv shows and short clips. All free of course.
Good Luck!

What are some different ways to eat white rice? I've tried it with vinegar, but I'm wondering other ways. I eat it often but I get tired of eating it by itself or with soy sauce. I'm just curious as to how I can spice it up and make it more flavorful.

Not only am I a geek but this geek loves to cook! If you've a sweet tooth you can sprinkle some cinnamon along with some brown sugar on top.

If someone bugged your phone, and listening to everything you say, is that illegal? and could someone get a radio thing where you can type in your number, and listen to everything you are saying..is that illegal, and could you get caught? could the person on the phone know it was being bugged?


and could someone bug a cellphone
I'M NOT GONNA DO IT, I'm just wondering, cause when I'm on my house phone, I hear static, and it never does that, just randomly sometimes.
Thanks!!

If you are hearing static on your home phone it's probably due to a bad line or crosstalk. You could check your connection at your junction box. It should have a customer access panel. You'll need a screw driver and a phone (not a cordless one.) Open the panel and remove the jack, you'll see it in there and plug your phone up to it. If the line sounds normal then you've probably got a bad wire in the house. You could start by checking each jack using your phone. If all checks out ask yourself this; When does the problem occur? In the rain? When a certain electronic device is turned on? If all is good and you can't narrow it down, call your phone company but be prepared to pay a high service fee. Oh and almost forgot, check the phone and it's lines too.

What is a corn grinder called?

Do you mean like a mill that grinds corn to make corn meal? If so that would be a corn mill.
