Monitor issue on a new computer
Hi. I recently got a new Dell computer (Intel Core i5-750 processor, Windows 7, ATI Radeon HD5450 video card). My issue is that my Acer monitor (Model AL 2216W) occasionally will turn off and then turn back on. It seems to only be the monitor (the computer keeps running and I don't notice anything peculiar about it) - it's almost like the monitor goes into power saving mode and then comes back out of it after a couple of seconds.
It happens whenever I install any software and the User Account Control dialog box comes up saying "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?" - the monitor will turn off like this each time right before the dialog box comes up. However, this issue occurs at other times as well, like when I'm simply surfing the net or using another program, and I can't see a pattern for these occurrences.
The monitor is 3 years old, and it worked fine on my previous Windows XP system. I checked my monitor driver on my new computer and the computer says it is up-to-date. I looked at Acer's website and the drivers are said to support Windows XP and Vista, so I thought perhaps it is a Windows 7 compatibility problem. I called Acer and they said it is an issue with the computer, not the monitor driver. They said the monitor is plug and play and should be Windows 7 compatible. The agent said that I should update my video driver and maybe this would help.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Does this sound like a video card driver problem? If so, how do I update that? I'm a bit of a computer novice. I'd really appreciate help. I'd definitely prefer not to buy a new monitor, especially if the same thing happens. Thanks a lot - I've really appreciated this forum.

It could easily be a video driver problem. Check out the following site : –
download from Guru3D.com
I would suggest that you download the following drivers: –
AMD Catalyst 10.11 Win 7 | Vista (64-bit)
They are not the latest but should work well with your card.
Follow the simple procedure shown at this site: –

Best of luck.

My monitor does the same, but I think it is normal. Also it is best to have up-to-date graphics card drivers.

The Real question is does it do it while your watching videos or playing Video Games? and how is the monitor connected? DVI?

I've experienced the same behavior ever since Vista, and carried over to Seven. Happens on different hardware. In my case it's utterly random. Might not happen for 2 weeks. Then it might happen twice in a single day. Saw lot of posts about it all over the internet, but no definitive answer.

Hi. I appreciate the responses. Thanks especially Snakeyeskm - I checked the second link you suggested (install instructions) and I input my driver info (not sure of my graphics card interface, but PCIe seemed to be the only option for a HD 4000 series card?) to find the correct driver - it suggested a newer version = AMD Catalyst 10.12 Win 7 | Vista (64-bit); you had suggested 10.11. Perhaps I should install 10.12? Here's the link I checked:
ATI Radeon
I'll respond to some of the other responses: Carl, interesting to hear that you're experiencing the same, but to me, it definitely is far from my normal experience with past systems. The monitor shouldn't just flick out for a couple of seconds. It does seem to be random, and in my case, it happens sporadically, but it occurs at least once every time I'm on the computer. If I had to guess, I'd guess that it does it when some process happens in the background.
TonyTiger, my monitor is connected via DVI. As far as occurrence when watching videos, it does happen, but it seems to occur at about the same frequency as with other uses. I can't speak to game use b/c I don't play games on my computer.
Thanks again for the responses. Snakeyeskm, please let me know what you think regarding the different driver version I found.
Peace, Christopher

Opps - sorry, I meant the only option for a 5000 series card. As I said, I have the ATI Radeon HD5450 video.

10:12 is the latest and supposedly very good for the 6000 series.10:11 were fairly stable for the 5000 series. Pick your poison and best of luck.

Unfortunately there is no Driver for your AL2216W That supports Windows 7. Thats probably why your able to use the monitor just not working 100% perfectly. Are you running x64 or x32? (I Believe your running x64) Because the only drivers avalible period for your monitor are only x32 So Perhaps the monitor isn't compatible.
I would try calling Acer tech support to verify this information personally. ( would supply number ) however my internet just buggered up.
|My System Specs
|04 Jan 2011
TonyTiger2004 may have hit the nail on the head. Since there doesn't seem to be a 64-bit driver for your monitor, it might be worthwhile tracking down the Vista driver for the AL2216WD monitor and trying that. Best of luck.

R&B star Usher lost a loved one over the weekend when his 11 year-old stepson Kile Glover was taken off life support weeks after getting into a horrific jet ski accident.
According to reports, Glover experienced heart failure after the family pulled him off life support.
Kile Glover, stepson of singer Usher Raymond and biological child of ex-wife Tameka Foster Raymond, died Saturday morning (July 21), according to Channel 2 Action News. Kile was taken off of life support Saturday morning and died from heart failure according to a family friend, weeks after the 11-year-old was involved in a tragic Jet Ski accident. Kile was declared brain dead two days after the July 6 accident, and the family struggled with the decision to remove him from life support hoping for a turn in his condition. (MTV)
Glover's tragic accident took place in early July during a Georgia family outing.
Usher's celebrity pals showed an outpour of support on Twitter following the singer's terrible tragedy this past weekend. The singer's 11-year-old stepson Kyle Glover has been declared brain dead after he and a 15-year-old gal pal were admitted to a hospital following a boating accident Friday. The pair were floating on inner tubes in Georgia's Lake Lanier Friday when a Jet Ski struck the two youngsters. Glover, whose mother is Usher's ex-wife Tameka Foster, was reportedly struck in the head and was knocked unconscious, according to Department of Natural Resources Sergeant Mike Burgamy. (New York Daily News)
Officials claimed there were no immediate signs of foul play which contributed to the crash.
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources said alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the incident, which happened near Holiday Marina. The DNR didn't release the names of those involved in the incident, but the DNR said the man on the jetski was part of the same group that the children were in. DNR rangers at the lake pulled the teenage girl from the water Friday afternoon, Sgt. Mike Bergamy said. Good Samaritans in a nearby boat pulled the boy from the water, Bergamy said. (Atlanta Black Star)
An active investigation on what caused the accident started following the hospitalization.
Robin Hill, a rep for the Department of Natural Resources (Wildlife Resources Division), tells TMZ the department's Critical Incident Response Team will recreate the accident on the lake to help determine what happened. Using special computer programs, they will attempt to figure out how fast the boats were going at the time of the accident. Hill says that rangers have been in touch with the driver of the jet ski and remain in contact with him. Once the department completes their investigation, they will turn their recommendation over to the district attorney who would then decide whether or not to file charges. (TMZ)

Take Out for 10 - Recs
- Mike CP Apr 8, 2012 04:40 PM
I'm helping to plan a take-out dinner for about 10 people next Sunday evening and am looking for recommendations for restaurants.
Dinner will be at my friends' house in Somerville close to Powder House Square. Their family will be visiting from Seattle, plus some more of us driving in from Western MA and Maine.
We're thinking of doing Asian; either Thai, Vietnamese, or Taiwanese.
We'll have a few cars and are willing to pick up from a few places if it is worth it. We will be a mix of spicy and non-spicy eaters.
So far restaurants we are considering are:
Rod Dee (the Porter Sq location)
Quingdao Garden
My brief research on this board puts Mulan at the top of the list. There seems to be plenty of good recs for dishes we can consider from there.
Are there any other menus we should be perusing this week? Is it worth it to get dumplings from Wangs, but look elsewhere for main dishes?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I like Mulan very much. My own go-to mix for a large group comes from Brighton: Bon Chon chicken from Bon Chon and everything else from Jo Jo Taipei's, including the dumplings and the stellar Taiwanese hot and sour soup. I get the chicken 1/2 spicy and half not and have never had anything but happy eaters..
re: gourmaniac
ditto on Wang's dumplings. they're great, but the rest of the food they serve is incredibly greasy. while I don't mind eating it myself, I wouldn't serve it to 9 other people.
i would have suggested Jo Jo Taipei for their soup dumplings (and many other items) but since you now have Din Tai Fung in the greater Seattle area, Mulan is a great choice and a bit closer to you (don't miss their cold smoked duck appetizer and the braised pork shin).
I would say there's no reason even to go as far as Mulan. I really like Rod Dee (although in our new vow to be more adventurous in ordering outside our comfort zone, this past weekend we ended up with something dreadful from the specials board with mixed seafood in red gravy. Avoid that.). You could easily go down Mass Ave and pick up a ton of dumplings from Quingdao and then hit Rod Dee for entrees. I really haven't found much spicy at Rod Dee (again, perhaps my ordering needs work), but you can get some heat at Quingdao.
re: Parsnipity
I like the idea of dumplings from Qingdao or Wang's, plus main dishes from Rod Dee. You could also get some veggies from whichever Chinese place you choose.
Along the Thai route, I'd suggest looking into Lemon Thai (on Highland Ave). Their country pad thai is my favorite in all of Boston. I'd like to think that says a lot, since I don't normally care for pad thai ...
If you care to go towards South Asian food (and not just East or South East), there's Guru the Caterer.
golden garden is also close to you for great dumplings, leak pie, hot and sour soup with wontons; the sichuan food is also good. I would also add Thailand Cafe into the mix.
The 8 of us had a great take-out meal from Mulan last night. I will post the details once I have some more time to write it all up. Thanks for all of the suggestions!
More details of our great meal from Mulan:
8 of us (including some no-pork and no-spicy eaters) shared:
100 layers pancake (mediocre)
pork & leek dumplings (decent)
vegetable dumplings (decent)
scallion pancake (decent)
1/2 smoked duck (mediocre)
stir-fried peapod stems w/ garlic (very good)
sautéed bean curd sheet w/ bamboo shoot and black mushroom (very good)
Taiwanese style pan friend noodles (decent)
house special fried rice w/ shrimp chicken and veggies (decent)
chicken in spicy garlic sauce (very good)
We were happy with everything we ordered, and were particularly surprised with the peapod stems, bean curd sheets and chicken in garlic sauce. All three of these were well prepared, and each was unique and flavorful. The peadpod stems were a great success, as I was worried they would be soggy and a bit bitter after the car ride back from the restaurant. Luckily for us these maintained great flavor until mealtime. Both the bean curd sheets and chicken in spicy garlic sauce were surprisingly unique, the chicken having a great spiciness that promoted flavor as opposed to masking it, and the bean curd sheets unlike anything I have had in the past.
I was surprised about the smoked duck, since I thought I had seen positive references to it in other posts here on CH. Maybe we ordered the wrong thing, but this was nothing special; just cold smoked duck with little flavor. The slices of breast meat had slightly better duck flavor than the pieces on the bone, but overall this was lacking any distinct flavor at all. It was a good size portion however, and everybody got plenty to try.
The dumplings, scallion pancake, and the other 'decent' dishes mentioned above were on average with other take-out meals of this cuisine I have had in the past. There was nothing bad here, but nothing noteworthy, either.
We took a gamble with the 100 layers pancake, since none of us had ever ordered anything of that nature before. It ended up being similar to the scallion pancake, just a bit flakier. I suspect this is something that would better ordered for a dine-in meal, and maybe it has an appropriate pairing with another dish that I am unaware of.
All of us agreed that Mulan was the right decision for our take-out meal. We ordered plenty of food, and I thought the price was right with bill total in the low $90s (with enough leftovers for one more person). Next time I'm back in that neighborhood looking to dine out or for take-out I will definitely consider going back here, especially for the peapod stems, chicken w/ garlic, and bean curd sheets.
Thanks to everybody for all the suggestions!
re: Mike CP
Thanks for the report. I agree on the tea smoked duck. I've yet to have a version in Boston better than I can make at home. Other dishes that I've enjoyed for your next visit: Eel and sticky rice, fish fillet in spicy sauce, beef pancake.
re: Mike CP
Thanks for the report, Mike CP. What were the vegetable dumplings like (i.e. what were they filled with?)
I agree with gourmaniac about the beef pancake....although I don't know how well that would do in takeout either...
Dave MP
re: Dave MP
The vegetable dumplings were filled with a mixture of finely chopped greens and tofu(?). The texture of the filling was okay, but it didn't really congeal with the wrapper at all, so it ended up as a mushy mixture on my plate (maybe a one-bite technique should have been used here, but these were decent-sized dumplings). It could have been the take-out factor that made them this way, but it seemed more like the veggie and tofu filling just released too much water while being steamed to really stay together.
I guess the flaw in general with veggie dumplings is the lack of any fat to really make it all stick together, but I definitely have had a more complete veggie dumpling experience elsewhere.
Regarding the smoked duck: I don't remember if the menu we were using to order mentioned 'tea', and it did not taste as if it had any external flavor. Looking back at a different(?) online menu now I see a salted smoked duck, and am wondering if this is really what we should have ordered in response to older posts about duck from Mulan.
Oh well, next time!
re: Mike CP
if you like eggplant, try their eggplant and basil. they do a nice salt and crispy chicken as well.
re: Mike CP
I agree with those veggie dumplings from Mulan. Fine, but nothing special. So far, my favorite veggie dumplings have come from Gourmet Dumpling House in Chinatown.

(December, 2000) Here are the results of our annual survey of authorized rates of return on common equity (ROE) for state-regulated energy utilities. This year's survey covers ROE...
Return On Equity: Regulators Trust, but Verify
Some recent utility rate proceedings cast doubt on new ROE models and "risk adders."
et al. , 248 PUR4th 364, April 27, 2006 (Nev. P.U.C.)
An Investment-Bank Analysis
In a major rate case involving electric delivery services provided by Commonwealth Edison Co. (ComEd), a coalition of groups representing small consumers looked to recent valuations of utility assets conducted by investment banks to support a new approach to estimating a rate of return that would attract investors to utility stocks. (The recently terminated plan for a merger of ComEd parent, Exelon, and Public Service Enterprise Group [PSEG], a New Jersey company, provided current market data and an opening to pitch the novel approach.) Using this new method, the consumer groups suggested that investors would favor investment in ComEd so long as a 7.75 percent equity allowance was included in rates. The alliance of consumer groups had estimated ComEd's cost of equity by inference from the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) calculated by Morgan Stanley for the merger of Exelon and PSEG. All other parties to the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) case used complex financial models to gauge ROE requirements and came up with much higher estimates, including the utility's offered 11 percent, the 10.19 percent presented by the commission staff, and 9.9 percent favored by a large industrial users group.
Predictably, ComEd responded that the new method presented by consumer groups could not possibly be reasonable because the 7.75 percent ROE it produced is more than 100 basis points below any ROE recently approved in the United States.
The consumer groups explained that because the cost of common equity is not a directly observable number, regulatory commissions have had to rely on subjective models, such as the capital-asset pricing model and the discounted cash flow model, to estimate a utility's cost of common equity. The consumer parties argued that recent merger activity in the electric industry could provide more direct evidence on cost of equity, and a unique opportunity to move away from the complex financial models. With this in mind, the groups hired an expert to recommend a cost of common equity based on a review of electric utility stock valuations conducted by three leading investment banks—Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, and Lehman Brothers—for the merger between Exelon and PSEG. According to the groups, the valuations done by the three investment banks are a far more reliable indicator of investor needs than the subjective models used to bridge evidentiary gaps "that arise because the level of return required to induce real investors to provide capital for the firm is not directly observable."
The ICC rejected the new approach, finding that while the consumers had portrayed their method as more objective than standard models, it was impossible to know what assumptions were made by the investment bankers, and whether the result was appropriate in a regulated setting. The commission noted that the expert had relied on WACC figures published by the investment firms as the basis for the estimates. To back out the cost of equity from the investment bankers' WACC estimates, the expert first had to make numerous assumptions, the PUC found.
The commission said it

Birds are generally considered a most fortunate dream omen, especially if they are brightly colored, singing and/or flying. Dead or injured birds are an indication of coming worries, unless they are birds of prey, in which case the worries will be short-lived. Birds' eggs in a nest signify money, broken birds' eggs forecast disappointment, and birds hatching in a nest indicate delayed profits. An empty nest is a warning not to be drawn into family arguments. To be aware in your dream of the beak of a bird is a forecast of a change of residence; whether for better or worse depends on the other details of the dream.

Kayla McHenry turned sixteen, and her Mom threw her a huge birthday party. That is what Kayla's mom does for a living --she puts together parties for people. The only problem is that Kayla's mom never asked her what kind of party she wanted or if she even wanted one at all. She didn't. Besides all that, her best friend Nicole has become cute and popular and she is dating the guy Kayla is madly in love with ...Ben McKenzie. In the book You Wish, by Amanda Hubbard, Kayla McHenry is 16 and miserable. After the disappointing birthday party (the one that her best friend completely missed because she was on a date with her boyfriend), Kayla reminisces on the day and cavalierly wishes that all of her birthday wishes that she has ever made would come true. The next morning there is a bright pink pony in her yard. The next day her bedroom is full of gumballs. After that her Raggedy Ann doll comes to life and wants to go everywhere with her, even to school. But wait there is more. Did I mention that Ken shows up to take her out on a date? This brings to mind the phrase "be careful what you wish for."
He's Just Not That Into You * * the six little words that changed dating forever. For ages women have come together over coffee, cocktails, or late-night phone chats to analyze the puzzling behavior of men. Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo are here to say that -- despite good intentions -- you're wasting your time. Men are not complicated, although they'd like you to think they are. And there are no mixed messages. The truth may be he's just not that into you. Based on a popular episode of Sex and the City, He's Just Not That Into You educates otherwise smart women on how to tell when a guy just doesn't like them enough, so they can stop wasting time making excuses for a dead-end relationship.
"Shockley, a high-tech research technician diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, presents an intriguing work designed to help readers with great anxiety in starting a romantic relationship (what he calls 'love-shyness'). First defined in Brian G. Gilmartin's Shyness and Love: Causes, Consequences, and Treatment (1987), the label (not yet an official diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV) describes people who, because of psychological problems, cannot have romantic relationships.
"For these individuals, any romantic or prospective romantic situation induces such a high level of anxiety that almost any dating and sexual relationship proves impossible. Shockley summarizes relatively recent research on love-shyness, explains its link with Asperger's, and discusses how love-shyness differs from normal shyness. In addition, for both male and female sufferers of the syndrome, he provides candid advice on how to survive the jungle of relationships and make dating an enjoyable experience.... ."
--Dale Farris, Groves, TX (Library Journal)
By looking at everything from culture to biology, in "Marry Him" Gottlieb frankly explores the dilemma that so many women today seem to face--how to reconcile the strong desire for a husband and family with a list of must-haves so long and complicated that many great guys get rejected out of the gate.
"In this sensitive guide to relationship problems, Cutter, a Southern California marriage and family therapist, invites couples to consider a non-gender-bound perspective based on brain research... 'Left-brain dominant' mates, we are told, focus on one thing at a time, are blunt, straightforward, tenacious and prefer not to take risks, while 'right-brain dominant' types are intuitive and spontaneous, avoid routine and have trouble separating emotion from fact. When an LB person hooks up with an RB, he or she must learn specific skills to coordinate their polarized ways of being... Includes dialogues from couples therapy sessions plus self-help exercises... This eye-opening manual has much to say about commitment, respect, earning trust and accepting imperfections, and should help many couples confront unmet needs."
(Publishers Weekly)
"Mars & Venus Starting Over opens the door to finding a rich and fulfilling lifetime of love once again. The first section of the book addresses the part of the healing process that is basically the same for men and women. Dealing with the pain of a breakup or loss is not easy, and John Gray makes it clear that although the pain of loss is an inevitable part of life, suffering is not. He explains that the heart often lags behind the mind, that we must experience our grief in order tobecome whole again. He compassionately shows us how to find forgiveness and explains how good endings make good beginnings. Although the healing process is fundamentally the same, starting over on Venus is often different from starting over on Mars. Women tend to push love away to avoid getting hurt again. On the other hand, men often get involved right away, but have trouble committing. Part two, 'Starting Over on Venus,' explores the twenty-three common challenges..." faced by women. Part three, 'Starting Over on Mars,' address the men's issues.
"Trying to find the right mate? Want to recapture lost romance and passion with an existing partner? Look no further than this innovative guide. Use it to identify your temperament and type. See which types you attract, and which types you don't. Use the proven tools and techniques to move you from that initial attraction to being partners, and discover how to keep that all-important relationship energized." (Amazon)
His best friend reveals that he is gay and his wildly inappropriate English project causes controversy. But, like lots of 17-year old boys, Mitch mostly has sex on his mind in this hilarious and touching "guy book."

Jul 22, 2013They change their sound to a darker/heavier scenario. But the deep songs are still here. The album is divided with the following scheme:
Track 1: Open the album
Tracks 2-5: Pop songs (the one that could hit the radio)
Tracks 6-8: The experiments they tried. The dark/heavy songs.
Tracks 9-12: Beautiful deep songs.
Highlights: Somebody To Die For, Blind, The Rope, Help, The Crow.
Actually, all tracks are excellent, I just tried to reduce the list from 12 to 5. Buy it ASAP.… Full Review »
Mar 16, 2013great album. big departure from thei first work, happiness. it is somewhat funny that the critics continue to criticise hurts while they are full of praises of such bands as one direction. to me this is because today it is better to praise music you perfectly know will sale more than original bands that perhaps are not everybody's cup of tea. it is a little frustrating because inspiration is ignored in favour of market sales… Full Review »
Apr 22, 2014A very good second album from this band. What shines the most are the melodies and once again the voice of the singer, so haunting and beautiful. The worst part are probably the lyrics, they are weak when you look at the album as a whole. The best songs are Miracle, Help and Guilty.… Full Review »

Haflinger Shirley Dot and Stripe Slippers 61 61
Whenever I can … Every other year, every year, whenever I can … I replenish my supply so I won't be able to get them when they are no longer offered. I have these in both the brown/pink and the grey/blue. I replenish or more accurately, restock, because these are my favorite slippers for their warmth, support and mostly because they make me happy when I see them covering my feet! These are a value - good at regular price, great when there is a %-off time and fantastic when pops up on 'sale of the day'). November 17, 2014
Bang for your buck These are my second pair of this brand and style. The first ones I brought over 7 years ago and they just got a hole in the top part. I have brought Many slippers from Garnet Hill and these have lasted the longest. I live in my slippers so I go through lots of pairs and these are the best as far as wear are concerned. March 31, 2014
She loves them I bought these for my 85 year old mother. She is petite, very hard to find bedroom slippers that would fit her that are also comfortable with non-slip soles. She loves the first pair so much , I bought her a second pair. These slippers are well made, durable, comfortable and affordable. The best! March 30, 2014
Luv these slippers Haflinger makes a great slipper. The molded insole provides excellent support and I love the cute dot and stripe pattern.. Note they do stretch a bit so I always order a size down. March 18, 2014
Ahhh...! Best. Slippers. Ever! I have incredibly flat feet and have searched for a pair of slippers that is warm, comfortable, and doesn't feel as though I'm trying to balance on a thick pillow. These slippers fit the bill! They are warm without inducing moist feet, and the arch support is amazing. I wear these at home all the time now and even bring them with me to other people's homes! I will definitely be buying them again once this pair wears out. March 11, 2014
Very comfy and warm I love these slippers and wear them all the time around the house. The only complaint is that they seem to pick up the stray golden retriever hair on the kitchen floor. February 24, 2014

Cleaning a Digital SLR Camera
Dust spots on the sensor are annoying, but not a tragedy. Cleaning off the sensor is serious business, so please exercise caution. Before you start the sensor cleaning process, carefully read and follow all of the required steps in your camera manual.
All SLR camera bodies feature a cleaning mode that locks the mirror up. If your camera can be cleaned while running on batteries, make sure that your battery is completely charged before you start the cleaning routine. Should your camera lose power midway through the cleaning process, there is a chance that the shutter mirror could come crashing down and get smashed.
Once you have the mirror safely locked up, the safest way to get dust off the sensor is with a hand-powered air blower. The Giottos Large Rocket Air Blower is my favorite.
Do not use an ordinary blower brush with bristles and never touch the tip of the blower to the sensor. There is no need to even put the blower tip inside the camera body. Just hold it close to the camera and blast the sensor with a couple of quick bursts of air. When you are done, turn the camera off, blow off the mirror, and then put the lens back on.
If air alone is not enough to clean out your camera I would suggest that you seek professional help. It is a whole lot less expensive to have a camera professionally cleaned than it is to replace a damaged sensor. If there isn't a camera shop that you trust near you, and if you don't want to send the camera back to the manufacturer for professional cleaning, then I suggest getting a Visible Dust Arctic Butterfly 724 Sensor Brush.
Here's a video showing the Arctic Butterfly Sensor Brush in action:
Since camera cleaning is a bit of a chore, I suggest that you avoid changing lenses in dusty environments so you have to do it less often. I also suggest that you make it a habit to always turn the camera off before removing the lens or opening any of the doors. When the camera is turned off there is less electromagnetic charge around the sensor and, thus, less attraction for dust particles.
If you are careful about where you change lenses, and if you learn to clean out your camera body with an air blower, then dust buildup will be a minor annoyance rather than a major calamity.

Could It Be Lyrics - Christy Carlson Romano
Review The Song (8)
I Know we've been friends forever
But now I think I'm feeling something totally new
and after all this time I've opened up my eyes
now I see you we're always with me
could it be you and I
never imagined
could it be suddenly Im fallin' for you
could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
could it be that its true, That it's you
and It's you and it's you
It's kinda funny you were always near
but who would ever thought that we would end up here
and everytime I needed you youve been there to pull me through
now it's clear I've been waiting for you
could it be you and I
never imagined
could it be suddenly Im fallin' for you
could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
could it be that it's true, That it's you
and It's you and it's you
cause today is the start of the rest of our lives
I can see it in your eyes
and it's real and its true
and It's just me and you
could it be, that it's true, that it's you
could it be you and I
never imagined
could it be suddenly Im fallin' for you
could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
could it be that its true, That it's you
and It's you and it's you
could it be that its true that its you.
that its true,oh its true

I know how it feels | Reviewer: Chelsea | 8/3/13
This song is so true about me because I am a girl who's fallen for her best guy friend too. I love the way the music is fun and I love the lyrics for being deep, meaningfull so i give this 10 out of 10 stars! <3
She's my best friend... | Reviewer: ScaredAndHurtingLesbian | 9/18/10
Everytime I hear this song now, I can't help thinking of how I've ended up falling for my best friend. It hurts, though, because I never EVER want to lose her friendship, and I fear that my feelings may do just that. I mean, yeah, she knows I'm gay, but... If this destroys our friendship, I don't know what I'm going to do. This wouldn't just be "something totally new" for her - it would be like my asking her to change her whole preference, which I respect her far too much to do. However, after realizing this, I can't keep my feelings to myself anymore... I told her, and I haven't heard from her since. Yes, I know this is all my own fault, but it still scares me.
And yet, despite all I do, say, think... "I'm fallin'" for her... Have fallen, and will continue to fall; if she'll still have me, I will always be by her side, because if I have her friendship, then that is the most I could ever ask for, and I shall be happy with that.
True love | Reviewer: Bimbola | 3/8/08
Who would think that true love is fake which is not true love is like something you can't live without of some ppl say that girls are discussing boys are gross well think again when u find someone that is a boy or girl that would be the love at first sight that you evered reached
i was near you | Reviewer: sureya | 8/9/07
i knew there was love between zac efron and vanessa anne hugdens were feeling something that was more than friendship that was only one thing love
talk about true love | Reviewer: angel | 7/7/07
u know most people don't believe in true love becuase they have been hurt to many times or that just don't well clarson seems to think there is true love in this world and u can tell becuase of this song and to most people this is just another love song but to people like me it means more becuase we can relate to the song with our own life
Excelent! | Reviewer: Katie A | 7/7/07
this song is one of my favorites and i know all the words now!! <3 Katie
so true | Reviewer: ilovemango | 4/21/07
What can I say the song caught my attention because of the music and lyrics. I love the music because it sounds fun, while the lyrics was so true and sweet! It seems like life is more fun and easier when you let your "love" find you rather than you trying to find one. Although some may want someone special, friendships also need to be treated especially well since it may progress into something even more--even "something totally new."
Finally noticed (and loved) | Reviewer: Jim McKay | 9/12/06
Big fan of Christy Carlson Romano AND Kim Possible. Is it not ironic that the voice of Kim herself and one of her theme singers are the same person?
Could It Be? A short but sweet song that shows unexpected love, eternal gratitude, and appreciation for a friend who becomes so much more. Don't we all want the same from our beloved, even if he or she doesn't see our love in the same way? Keep hoping and keep loving!
