I am opening a tea lounge, need a name!?

We Answered:

Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route...

I suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research.

I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there.

Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first.

Comprehensive research consists of looking at marks that are similar in Sound, Appearance or Meaning in the pending & registered Federal AND State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files.

There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

What is everything I need for a Harry Potter Party?

We Answered:

I bought chocolate frogs at Borders Bookstore. They came with wizard cards, too. Cloaks are available online. Just google.

I think you might need to juice up that pumpkin juice with a little orange juice and perhaps some other flavorings. I'm not sure it would be entirely palatable to Muggles otherwise.

What are you going to do about butterbeer?

LONG STORY ABOUT ROCK DREAMS!?

We Answered:

As a great man once said (Kurt Cobain): all you need to make great music is passion. Play with your entire soul, and you've got yourself a great song. He also started off as a terrible singer, and listen to him now. You need a lot of practice, things don't come without effort :)
Don't give up, I know guitarists who have their own band now and started playing at age 21. It's not about how long you play the instrument, it's about the dedication you put into it. Figure for yourself if it's truly what you want, if you're passionate enough, and then pick up that damn bass guitar :p.
Plus, it never hurts to try and try over again. If you're not motivated enough, then you should maybe try acoustic guitar/electric guitar. I also tried and gave up guitar twice in the last 10 years. I finally picked it up again in September, and I'm as dedicated as I possibly could be. And i'm not giving up, third time's the charm ;)
Anyway, you don't have to put an age to when you should start playing the guitar. Just play, and see where it takes you. You might be amazed :D

There is a tattoo I want, that represents a difficult part of my life that I've learned from, I need opinions.?

We Answered:

I would go with "It's not a question but a lesson learnt in time" or "Life can change, you're not in vain." I especially like the last one because it would be symbolic of your grandmother's life and passing not being in vain.
