We have a large area of western facing windows in our living area which lets in heat from late morning all through the afternoon, resulting in a sauna. We have ceiling insulation but this does not help. We are wondering is it better to get the whole wall of windows tinted for heat reduction or to have external shades/awnings put in? If so, which would type of awning/ shade would be best? Please help, got some advice that tinting windows is best then told that by others that external shading would be better. Would really appreciate your response.


I purchased a Pyle wired FM modulator to add an MP3 player to my radio. It has an electrical connector I am not familiar with. It is a hollow cone on one end that apparently slips into a metal cylinder on the other end and then is crimped. Do I split the 12 volt wire to the radio, cut one of the wires strip it back on both ends, twist the ends back together and feed that into the cone end of the connector, slip that into the cylinder and crimp it down? What is the name of this connector? Maybe I can find some info. on google.


Hi I have a Kyocera mita FS-3800 computer printer. After replacing the printer cartridge and doing some general cleaning it resulted in giving me the massage Paper jam.

Should he insulate the attic? My son had an energy audit done on their 1920s colonial. Attic is largely floored over what appears to be vermiculite & perhaps some added cellulose. Very little venting up there, only the gable windows (no soffit or ridge vents). The company that did the audit recommends he insulate the attic, turn it into heated space. This would mean putting insulation up against the roof, and on the walls at the roof ends. Does this make sense to forum experts? I thought the roof needed ventilation or it would deteriorate rapidly.


I am 53 years old and made the mistake of putting my savings into an annuity only four months ago. the entire amount is money Ive already earned and paid taxes on it. The amount is $100,000.

-Hey! I?m doing a science project, and I have some questions on hand cranked flashlight dynamos. -I haven?t taken a dynamo flashlight apart yet, but I believe that the dynamo itself is actually shaped like a cylindrical battery. Question 1- If the dynamo?s circular edge had a diameter of 2 inches, how many watts per minute could it produce if it was really well put together, and how expensive would it be? Question 2- If this expensive dynamo was used continuously, how long would it last- and if I paid more for it, could it ever be made to last indefinitely?- and if it?s a matter of the magnets within dying, would another magnetic source nearby be able to refuel it? Thank you!

I am developing an application to run on a PDA. The PDA is running on Windows CE 5.0 and has a barcode scanner integrated. I am using Framework 3.5 VB.Net 2008 smart device project to develop my application. Now, my question is about opening the barcode scanner to read scanned barcodes into my PDA application. I used system.io.ports to open COM1, 2, 3 and I can get them opened but obviously none of theses ports opens up the scanner. Any idea how to open/communicate with the PDA scanner?


My question is about IHT. I own in partnership with my wife and son a working farm which comprises a Farmhouse, farm buildings and land. We also converted a barn adjacent to the farmhouse for my son to live in. As well as this we have some industrial units (3 miles away from the farm) and an investment property originally used as a labourers house but now let out. Values: Farmhouse ?750k, Farm Buildings and land ?850k, Barn Conversion ?500k, Investment property ?165k and Industrial units ?850k. All assets are in a 3 way partnership, me, my wife and son. I am told that if i leave everything to my son as a going concern he will not have to pay any IHT. Is this true ? Could you please give me your assessment of my situation and what IHT you would expect. I do have 2 daughters who i need to bare in mind but i wish to avoid IHT and the going concern option if true will achieve this. My concern is will the revenue challenge 3 houses and an industrial estate being passed as the trading farm/business. Thank you.

Calculate the concentration of: a)calcium ions and phosphate ions in a 0.39 M calcium phosphate solution. B)HBr in a solution obtained by diluting mL of 5.6 M HBr to 506mL Silver nitrate is often added o sea water in order to precipitate out the chloride for analysis a)write the balanced equation of the reaction between solid silver and a sodium chloride solution. b)write the complete ionic equation if a solution of silver nitrate is added to a solution of sodium chloride. c)write the complete ionic equation if a solution of silver nitrate us added to a solution of sodium chloride. A 25.0 ml sample of a 0.363 M barium chloride solution is mixed with 50.0mL of a 0.427 M Sodium phosphate solution. A white precipitate is formed which is found to contain barium. The precipitate is filtered out, dried , and found to weigh 0.571g. a)write out the balanced (complete ionic)reaction with states. b)what is the limiting reagent? c)what is the percent yield of the reaction? 4)what is the concentration of chloride ions in the final solution (i.e. after precipitation) Show all the work!!!


We have a 2010 Ford Fusion SE 2.5 Automatic. This car has a TPMS. We plan to buy winter tires. If we also buy winter rims we need to the install TPMS sensors in each rim. The system only advises of low tire pressure, it does not provide any information as to which tire. This seems to be much simpler than some other systems and may require less set up. My question is does the system on the car automatically detect the new sensors or is a tool and procedure required to make the system recognize the new sensors? The answer has some impact on whether or not I buy rims.

My now ex-boyfriend and I purchased a home together in 2007. Since then we have split up, and now we have defaulted on the home loan due to non payment. I was laid off in September, and he refuses to take responsibility for any of the housing costs, including the mortgage. The home has an auction date of 4-24-09. He also refuses to move out of the home. Can I sign a quit claim and leave him responsible for the loan, or authorize a restructure or a short sale without needing his consent?


I have worked for the same company my first and only job for 10 years. Six years ago I was asked to work afternoons. I had always been non exempt I have never been told what this means, just that I have to write in the hours on timecard. So for the last 10 years I have been writing in the hours on my time card and 6 years ago I began to receive shift differential 10% because of my new hours. But since the beginning of 2009 the hospital stopped paying me the S10% and said that they made a mistake that I had been exempt for the last 6 years so they will no longer pay me the S10% and they will be kind enough not to charge me for all the money they paid me thru the years. Nobody ever told me I was exempt. Is there anything I can do?


My employer had me sign a written warning today that was not an admittance of guilt, but it was just a document for my employer to put in my file. He said, That if I did not sign the document then I quit. I asked him if he was firing me and he said, No. I signed this document out of fear because I do not want to quit and lose my job. Do I have any legal recourse even if I am still currently employed? Again, I feel that the employer does not want to fire me because he does not want to pay for unemployment so he is coercing me to sign a written warning document and says that if I do not sign then I quit. This is an at will employer, but is this legal?
