Just curious. I've recently started reading more poetry...and well, they don't rhyme. They are beautiful and don't need to. The words are used aesthetically and are beautiful. But because I was raised from a child (in America) that most poems rhyme I find it hard to read most poems...because...

Okay, stupid math related question. I'm reading a book about cooking ratios and it says things like for bread use 5:3 (5 parts flour, 3 parts water + yeast, salt) but I don't have a kitchen scale and can't do this by weight...so say I am using 2 cups of flour - how do I figure out what to use...

I've recently become a HUGE fan of fresh pasta (made myself - 3/4 cups flour+1 egg) - but I can't really eat it at work since all we have is a microwave and fridge. Is there anyway to "cook" fresh pasta noodles in the microwave (possibly by adding water to a dish and cooking it for some amount...

I know how to use the <A HREF="#codeword"> tag and have it jump to something on the same page...but how do I link from one page to another page and have it jump to a #codeword? Would it be something like <A href-"/linkedpage" target=#codeword>? Thanks!

This is related to the question I placed last night. I finally found the PSI recommendation on my tires. It's 60-80 PSI...but that's 20 PSI of wiggle room...is it better to aim for 60 or 80...or something in between? What are the pros and cons of each (riding on NYC streets - so lots of pot...

Looking for a cheap-ish place to get my cocker spaniel puppy groomed in Manhattan...I refuse to pay the circa $90 I've been quoted at some places (even PetCO on Union Square is charging this much!!!!) Anyone know of a better place to go (downtown preferred)

Hi everyone - I have a new puppy who loves to chew...and oddly enough he likes to lick my bicycle chain (Gross!) I live in a tiny NYC apartment and cannot put the bicycle anywhere except out in the open (seriously, our closets are that small!) - how can I keep him from licking it...I thought...

Hi, I'm looking into getting a puppy and am going to go visit some this week. However I'm a little concerned about house training the puppy to go outside because the puppies (11 weeks) are already trained to go on paper by the breeder. How do I teach the puppy not to go on the paper and...

As it says - I just got a new bike - so far I haven't paid attention to the tires much at all - how often should I check them - will there be signs when I need to pump them - how often should I do so?...and finally how much do I want to pump them up? Thanks! Thanks - it's a Trek Allant - with...
