Can anyone help me with the name of a movie? It's a horror movie about a couple (on vacation?) in Europe. During a walk in the forest they stumble upon a statue of the devil, all misty and creepy as gently caress. Some time later, the girl gets possessed, her boyfriend tries to exorcise with the help of some old lady but in the end they cant do it and have to kill her. The details I remember are pretty shady and I have no idea who starred in the movie, wasn't a blockbuster that is for sure. E: the description is pretty awful but I managed to find it, it is called The Shrine http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1341710/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 West007 fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Sep 15, 2013 |

I'm a regional transplant from the Chicago area to Indianapolis. Naturally, I would like to watch my favorite sports teams from Chicago here in Indy. Does anyone know where/how I can find out how to watch Blackhawks games here once the season starts? From what I've read, Indy is considered a "home market" for the Blackhawks, so national broadcasts of the games are blacked out. This also leads me to believe that if I get either of the national NHL broadcast packages (Gamecenter Live and Center Ice), games will be blacked out unless I spoof my IP address anyway. I'm just really frustrated with the utter lack of options for watching Chicago sports in this city.

Is there an industry term for music that is clearly ripping off another song, but because one or two notes are changed it's legal to use in a commercial? I think the most famous example is Home Depot and TGIF Fridays getting sued by The Black Keys. I hear it all the time lately. Sizzler is airing a commercial that clearly uses Smells Like Teen Spirit and I just listened to a car radio commercial use the synth chorus from M83's Kim and Jessie.

I'm a designer in the UK with a client in the US, and I'm wondering if anyone knows an efficient way of transferring her payment from the US to my bank in the UK. I need £450 to land in my account, meaning she'll be liable for the fees to get it here. However, neither of us want to be stiffed with huge charges, but I'm a bit clueless on how best to do it. Googling reveals a total minefield, and honestly I'm a bit stumped on where to start, and what companies are reliable/fairly speedy/not going to shaft me and her. Any recommendations? If this should be in the Finance forum I'll cross post it there; the reason I didn't was because I couldn't see a small questions megathread.

I am working on an Excel spreadsheet. I want a single row to completely clear its contents whenever a specific cell is altered. So far I have found information on how to make one sell clear if another cell is changed, but not a whole row. Can anyone help/provide a code for such a feat?

I think you're going to need an intermediate set of rows/cols where one set is the "input" and one is the "display" value. I'm pretty sure this won't be hard to make something workable but I need more details on your requirements to make an example. randyest fucked around with this message at 04:45 on Sep 16, 2013 |

PayPal is generally fairly easy for stuff like that. Many large banks (Bank of America, Wells Fargo, TD Bank, etc.) will send international bank wires; it's usually $30 to $50 US for that, though. Western Union is another possibility, if there's an office near you.

I have a cell phone and a home phone, but I want to drop the home phone service to something else to avoid the nearly $30 a month I pay to make/receive 5-20 calls a month (with about 15 of those being telemarketers.) But I have so many things still that have some connection to my home number, I don't want to give it up. So, I'm considering, I guess, some sort of parking, call-forwarding or voicemail service to hold home number for a period of time until I can figure out what best to do. Any suggestions on what the best good and low-cost options are along this route? Or directions to a thread that deals in this sort of thing?

Change those things with the connection to the home phone to a Google Voice number/your cell phone? Seems like it'd be worth the hour or two to change that stuff to just ditch the thing completely.

I thought about that, but I still sort of like having the option of that old number being available to me if I restart landline service in the future, or eventually port it to a VOIP service or something.

There are ways to port a landline to something like GV if you are super sentimental about your number for whatever odd reason. You just have to convert it to a mobile number first. Lots of guides on how to do this out there. Why even have a landline? I'm not willing to pay $30 a month to make 5 local phone calls per month or get bothered by telemarketers. I've heard they are good to have during a natural disaster or something, but I'm not going to pay $360 per year on the chance cell service might be down someday.

axolotl farmer posted:Cashing a check from a foreign bank costs 150-200 USD in Europe. Holy balls. Just do an international bank transfer. I do them all the time to USA from Australia and they cost about $25-35 on each end (so $50-70 all up). You just need to give your client your full bank account number (including the routing numbers at the start) and your bank's SWIFT code and address. Your client's bank should be able to do the math with exchange rates to make sure the right amount lands in your account.

Pogo the Clown posted:Holy balls. I agree with you and I do these for larger amounts and it's pretty easy (apart from idiot cashiers who don't understand the basics of banking). However, USD70 fees on a GBP450 transfer is 10% loss and that's a fair chunk of change. There's no downside to doing a Paypal gift payment is there?

I have a crappy pay-as-you-go phone. If you call me and it rings out, or is off, you can't leave a message. Does anyone know how I would go about setting up a messaging service and what it would cost me? (I'm British and my provider is Virgin, if that helps?)

Thanks for the suggestions, kind goons. Looks like Paypal is probably going to be the way it's done, since there don't seem to be any cheaper alternatives (and plenty of more expensive ones!)

If it's going to be an ongoing situation, have your client pay you with xe.com. It's a bit of a hassle setting it up the first time, but it is absolutely free and they work on very tight exchange rates. They're also crazy fast.

KoB posted:I hear this is really good but havent actually used it myself. https://www.paperkarma.com/ Hit or miss results here. It's hard to say what they've actually stopped versus what would have stopped on its own. But some things have definitely not stopped. Furthermore, they're not super great about stopping stuff that's not self-identified on the envelope (i.e. most of those warranty things just come from a P.O. box -- that won't usually work). It doesn't hurt to try, as long as you don't get your hopes up too high.

Like KnifeWrench said, they have a hard time with this sort of mail, since it doesn't really have a company name, and the return address is a P.O. box. It found the most recent one, but the two before that stumped it.

I think I'm more confused than when I asked the question, are you saying I can get STIs from a sneeze or that in general STIs are a higher genital risk factor? I understand that unsafe sex can give you STIs, but if someone sneezed on my dick before I strap it up and then slap it up what happens here?

According to Wikipedia, the mucus is there to protect you from pathogens, so you're no worse off than someone sneezing on any other part of you. But take that for what you will.
