When I try to go to CBSSports.com from my bookmarks this is what I now get- Bad Request. Greg, if you aren't having issues with any other sites, the problem could be your bookmark.

Car Dealers Charge Outrageous Prices For This Treatment We've Got It For Under $5 ! You know how it is, you're driving in the rain and it looks like someone is throwing buckets of water right onto your windshield. Your windshield wipers are doing the best they can, but And it's not like those wipers are falling apart, you just bought them. And if you're out driving on the highway with big trucks throwing water back at you, it can be pretty darn scary. The solutions is Repel-It Windshield Treatment. It makes your windshield hydrophobic. That means water (and the grime and gunk that can splash up on your windshield with it) will bead up and make it much easier for your windshield wipers to swoop it away.

If you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes. We get it all. Rain, snow, ice, sleet... We'll go from 70 degrees and rain on Wednesday to 20 degrees and snow on Friday.

Can't Play WMA Files On Android After Update Jill from Iowa writes: I used to be able to listen to WMA Audiobooks on my Android phone before the Jellybean 4.3 update earlier this month. (I would download the audiobook through Overdrive Media Console on my laptop then transfer to my phone). I've tried 9 different music players on my phone with no success. Do you have any suggestions? No version of Android natively supports WMA (Windows Media Audio) files. But you should be able to download a WMA player from the Google Play Store. Though finding a player that works with your particular phone can sometimes be a challenge. Make sure the player supports WMA files. I've heard good things about Poweramp and MX Player, but do check the reviews and see what users have to say about your particular phone. Another thing I would suggest is that when borrowing audio books using the OverDrive App... Want more? Head on over to WorldStart!

Photoshop Elements: The Basics I love free stuff, but there are two programs that we've always purchased for our home computers; Microsoft Office, and Photoshop Elements. This is not because they're better than their free counterparts but, over the years, a certain familiarity has developed. Also, they each represent the industry standard, so a working knowledge can be an asset. Photoshop Elements is the bare-bones version of Photoshop. While it's more limited than its big brother–in addition to simple photo editing–it offers many of the more complex features found in the larger program, and the similarities between the two make the transition from one to the other (relatively) easy. As a result, since many employers require some Photoshop skills—as long as those requirements don't include a thorough knowledge of the more elaborate full version–experience with Elements may be enough to help land a position (it's worked for me). An additional reason to consider Elements is its price, which is roughly 10%–15% the cost of Photoshop. If you'd like to take it for a test drive ... Just click WorldStart to learn more!

The Real Damage This handy tool will help you visualize just how much more you're paying for that item you want to buy with a credit card. There was a time in my life when this tool would have been very handy to have. When I'd just charge things to my credit cards without really thinking about how much that would cost me over time. Now you can do just that. You put in the price of what you want to charge, then enter in on the table below how much your APR is and pick from the preloaded options for how you're paying your cards off and then click the What's my Damage? button. It will then tell you how much that item will really cost you. The example they provide is an item that has a cost of $75.00. The default interest rate on the page is 15% APR with a balance of $1200, where you're paying the minimum payment and 1% of the balance. It makes that $75.00 item really a $168.75 item in the end. This is a great way to get perspective on your spending, by allowing you to visualize how much things will really cost you. So if saving money was one of your New Year's resolutions this might just help you put the credit card back in your wallet. Check this tool out and calculate for yourself! http://therealdamage.com/wp/sample-page/ ~Amanda Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a cool, non-commercial site that you want to share?Send it to Amanda at amanda@worldstart.com
