I'm traveling from incessantHQ Los Angeles to Armenia on September 9th and I need to renew my passport right quick and I need a visa but the next available appointment at my local passport agency isn't for another week. So should I go with one of those passport expediting services like these guys? Has anyone used a service like this before? What are my best options in this situation?

I want to go see U2 in Los Angeles. Just decided that, damn the torpedoes, I can't miss it. What's the best way to go about acquiring tickets without getting scammed or gouged?

I just replaced a burned out bulb in my overhead kitchen fixture. The bulb that burned out was a 60 watter. I only had a 100 watter on hand. I know I'm hastening fossil fuel depletion, but am I also causing a fire risk? What about ignoring the wattage recomendations in favor of higher watts in table lamps?
