It can be material in nature, but it doesn't have to be. You can exclusively own it, or part own it with others. Or if you don't own a white thing, the main thing all round is that you enjoy it and benefit from it.

Hi I was wondering if someone could recommend a good breadmaker and specifically tell me is this one good? I want a breadmaker that mixes and kneeds the dough and stuff. Pretty much one that I just throw all the stuff in and it does the work :--)) Thanks for reading and helping.

I was driving home last night down the side roads because the traffic was at a stand still. I got slightly lost because it was dark and I ended up in some national park type setting and hit a deer.

I didn't want to get caught so I tied it to the roof of my citroen bx car - white 1.58 enginer - and drove home. It sure was a mess to clean up but I eventually hosed most of the guts and brain mass off of the screen.

However after this I am now left with a deer in my garage. I have hung it up to the main support to drain the blood but now Im pondering what's the best to get the meat off of the carcass and then who to give it too?

Has anyone got any good suggestions of what to do with a ton of deer? without arousing susipicion?

I thought maybe be protein shakes handed out at nearby slim fast meetings?

Or possibly a smoothie?

If this goes well are there any suggestions where I could find a safari park and really make a banquet fit for a king?

This only happens while the tank is getting filled with water. Once the tank is filled, the leak stops, this makes me believe that the seal around the hole where the water goes through to the bowl is alright. Or is it?

I left some baby pacifiers sterilizing on the stove by mistake and when I came upstairs the house was filled with smoke. The pacifiers had all melted and even the stainless steel pot was partially melted. The smoke is now gone, but there is a terrible smell in our log home. It is cold outside now and not easy to leave the windows open with a baby in the house. Is it safe for us to be breathing in these fumes or are they just embedded in the log walls?

We had some very old-style linoleum that we removed, but there is still a thick layer of a paper-like material and glue under that. It's very difficult to remove. We have a product that is supposed to remove the glue, but the paper is taking forever. Advice?

I've tried every combination I can think of but the most I can do is get the fan to run. The pilot is on but I feel no heat or even air coming out of vents. Any suggestions : I can't really afford a tech.

I was thinking of puting a good compost around the base of the plants. Some people advise the fertilizer spikes. I would think that the compost would seep in over the winter and into the spring with the rains.

This is what this house has: a gas heater, electric ingiter, fan (blower). This is what's happening: Natural gas is released, electric igniter lights gas (creates heat), blower is activated, heat is blown though venting system. Then, gas expulsion is stopped (thus ceasing HEAT), and fan continues to blow for...oh...30-45 seconds. When the burners stop burning, the fan continues to blow, and we get chilly (not cold) air through the venting system, somewhat defeating the purpose of creating heat. (the house does become warmer, by small increments)The FAN"S INTAKE comes from ducting leading to the roof, outside, fresh air circulation, NOT recycled air circulation. The heater does have it's own fresh air inlet/outlet, as it should.
Shouldn't the BLOWER'S INTAKE come from inside the area to be heated (creating real warmth) as opposed to getting cold air from outside? Why was this system built this way?
If I redirect the blower's intake to recycle the air, what risks am I running?

I'm a self empoyed electrician, have been for many years, but have come across a problem that's got me stumped. I've fitted a new split load board into a bar and restaurant. Most of the installation is original, a couple of new rings is all I've put in. Trouble is, whenever something with an inductive load is turned on, like a drill, or a flourescent light fitting, it trips the RCD, even if the fitting is on the non RCD side. The insulation test is reasonable, the worst being around 8 ohms. The RCD tests ok, no trip at half fault. I did think about putting a time delayed RCD on the circuit, but that would take the trip time to around 400 ms, too slow for the regs! Any ideas, anyone..............

Our electric bill in Belize has tripled. Corrupt company is about to shut my power off. I need to know about diesel generators. How big do I need for a small house that has TV, computer, large fridge, lights and pool pump?

Do you search by HP or watts or volts or what? I am a generator dummy. I saw a silent one online
for $4800. Small and silent sounds great; $4800 sounds horrible. Anyone have ideas?

My bedroom is the worst and the messiest. I don't have a dresser. The shelving unit/ dresser that was built for me was never built with a drawers to put my clothes, so I cram them in boxes and my small closet. My father never got a chance to build them, and now he won't. As far as organization, my room is cluttered to the max. I have a full bookshelf, daybed, a small set of drawers under my TV (they are filled by the way), a small shelf with my cable reciever, VCR, and DVD player, a small plastic drawer set. and my shelving unit. Everything that is not cluttered onto those things are stuck in boxes. How do I make the most of my space?

A friend of mine is renting a house, and she believes there are bed bugs ...no matter how many times she washes her sheets, she still feels bitten all over. Tiny red marks cover her. Rather than chemicals, she is looking for a "natural" solution.
