While you carry on about how great this book is, read the Amazon review by Kevin Neinstiel: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-re…

The old pyrex is borosilicate. The newer stuff is the same as Anchor Hocking, more apt to shatter than the borosilicate but not as shattery as the tempered glass, which I consider unsafe for cooking.

This great post applies to so much more than weight. I use the techniques (watch for my internal knee-jerk opposition) to learn to listen to views that I disagree with. I may not change my mind, but I have found that it leads to understanding and an ability to converse with people I may have avoided after the first…

For me that would be the Hoover Linx. Works really well for me.

dfbess, yes, I will dual boot that on the new windows 7 computer I am having built. What is the best video editing software for it?

I tried this on my husband’s 8.1 laptop, which we do not want to upgrade. Totally nothing in this process was relevant. The machine has the little windows upgrade icon, which appeared a couple of months ago, and I really don’t want to upgrade it. What am I missing?

Actually, CR found one type of infectious agent that is not killed by cooking.

There is no war against guns. The war is for guns. there are scattered skirmishes against guns that are immediately overrun.

If the block is small enough, say a gallon container, just run it though the microwave for ten seconds or so — the exact time may vary depending on the brand and flavor of the ice cream.

Just hang the clothes in the bathroom while or after you shower.

Thank you. have ordered it.

Here’s an example: I do regular computer things (web browsing, word processing, etc) and also some video editing, photo editing, and drawing. For these last categories I’d like to park some examples (handbrake settings for YouTube), advice (one-click to a table of hex codes for colors), works in progress, etc. on the…

OTOH, I realize that military marriages may tend to fail, but very many don’t, despite the combination of service member being gone a lot plus doing dangerous things and having it affect them.

Ask Dr. Nerdlove is one of the great advice columns of all time. I learn from it how to talk to the nerds in my life.

Despite the perspective of the following writer, the logic is truly to limit the number of foals from a particular mare or stallion, because the number of thoroughbreds is small, as determined by population genetics standards. However, this should probably be reassessed in today’s world, since thoroughbred breeding is…

I have my big lists which are written down or stacked (if papers) in order of when they need to be done or consistency (for instance, things to finish and mail, or the next step in a project that I can’t finish completely because it needs a response). Usually the night before I plan to do something the next day, or…

That was fun. Thank you! Being a Houston-area Rockets fan, I also enjoy the team’s post-game interviews, and McHale’s coaching. I am not from that planet, but I find it fascinating. It is like getting to watch Sam Casell play again.

Dear Wes, I can feel the spleen on your teeth from here, and I resonate with your response to unfeeling management. Possibly the throat-slitting part was inapt for managers tasked with keeping that from happening to passengers? Yes, I agree with you that one should be able to express opinion. And a really good boss (I…

I didn’t get much out of this. Maybe the term you are looking for is assertiveness.
