the white in my bath tub is wearing is there a product i can use tp makw ie white again?

Yes, there is a two part paint-glazing process that you can get @ Lowes in the paint dept. You’ll have to make sure your tub is ’squeaky clean’ first. No residue of any kind. The directions are on the box. When you are ready to do it, then you mix the parts together and brush […]

Yes, there is a two part paint-glazing process that you can get @ Lowes in the paint dept. You’ll have to make sure your tub is ’squeaky clean’ first. No residue of any kind. The directions are on the box. When you are ready to do it, then you mix the parts together and brush it on with a quality paint brush, so it won’t leave little lines. It will need to dry and cure for @ least 24- 48 hrs. depending on your temp and or humidity levels. Wear a respirator of some sort. those white throw aways should do the trick. Hopefully you have a window in this bathrm. The fumes are’nt that strong but it would help to have ventilation. You should be happy with the results. When it comes time to clean it, I recommend ’soft scrub w/bleach ‘and a rag. No scrubbers! they will scratch. One last thing be sure to get the edges covered real good so water does’nt get up under the painted surface. Watch out for bubbles as you go along. If this is too extreme for you try looking for a porcelain restorer. Rose

how could the americans win independance?

I’m going to be a bit controversial here and say it was probably the Scots who inspired the Americans to win independence. My reasons for believing this are - The USA’s National Tartan Day is celebrated every year on the 6th of April. The 6th of April is rather a rather important date because this […]

I’m going to be a bit controversial here and say it was probably the Scots who inspired the Americans to win independence. My reasons for believing this are - The USA’s National Tartan Day is celebrated every year on the 6th of April. The 6th of April is rather a rather important date because this is the exact same date that the Scottish Declaration of Arbroath was signed - which proclaimed Scotland’s independence - way back in the year 1320. According to the US Senate - The American Declaration of Independence was modelled on the Scottish Declaration of Arbroath. Almost half the people who signed the American Declaration of Independence were of Scottish descent. And out of the original thirteen states - nine of the governors were also of Scottish ancestry. I could go on, but I think it’s safe to say it definitely wasn’t just a case of the English fighting English. Far from it.

how the weather for taiwan at july?

Although Taiwan is a small country, the weather varies among different areas of Taiwan in July. Generally the daytime temperature is above 30 Celsius degree if you stay at an elevation below 1500 metres in July, but in mountainous areas it usually drops to 20 degree or even lower. For intance, Li-Shan (Mount Pear) is […]

Although Taiwan is a small country, the weather varies among different areas of Taiwan in July. Generally the daytime temperature is above 30 Celsius degree if you stay at an elevation below 1500 metres in July, but in mountainous areas it usually drops to 20 degree or even lower. For intance, Li-Shan (Mount Pear) is still cool in July. The humidity is high everywhere in Taiwan even in a sunny day. This makes you feel hotter in low elevation areas and cooler in mountain areas. Typhoon is not uncommon in Taiwan in July. However, there are usually up to three typhoons attacking Taiwan per year and the typhoon season is between May and November. Thus, your chance to bump into a typhoon in Taiwan in July is not so high actually. Most typhoons find their ways to Japan or Philippines and avoid Taiwan after all. Thunderstorms are not frequent in Taiwanese metropolises and islets in July unless a typhoon moves nearby. Nevertheless, you may get wet in mountainous areas almost every afternoon. The eastern half of Taiwan is wetter than its counterpart. Fortunately sub-tropic thunderstorms last only an hour or two and you can still see beautifully clear sky in minutes after the rain. Compared with England and Northwest Pacific, Taiwan enjoys much more sunny hours per year. In Kaohsiung City, the southern metropolis of Taiwan, its annual sunshine amounts to 2139 hours. Therefore, I would rather say that the weather in Taiwan in July is reasonably fine.

How expensive is it to produce hydrogen fuel cell?

Hydrogen fuel cells of the commonly used PEM type cost between $1500 and $2500 per kilowatt, depending on manufacturer and application. A typical car needs at least a 75 kW fuel cell, which would typically cost around $150,000. The hydrogen would cost about the same per mile as gasoline. More, once government starts taxing it. […]

Hydrogen fuel cells of the commonly used PEM type cost between $1500 and $2500 per kilowatt, depending on manufacturer and application. A typical car needs at least a 75 kW fuel cell, which would typically cost around $150,000. The hydrogen would cost about the same per mile as gasoline. More, once government starts taxing it. This is also hydrogen produced from natural gas, which actually emits more CO2 than using gasoline in a combustion engine. If produced from electricity, hydrogen costs about 2 times as much per mile, but might ultimately emit less CO2. If used as a liquid (instead of a compressed gas), it costs another 1.5 times as much per mile (and emits that much more CO2). If the application is backup electric power, a typical home would need about 6 kW. So a hydrogen fuel cell for a house would cost about $12,000, plus another $2,000 for the inverter and transfer switch. Again, the cost of operating a hydrogen genset verses a gasoline genset is similarly comparable to the difference in hydrogen as a motor fuel vs gasoline. A natural gas genset is definitely less expensive, in fuel, equipment, and pollution.

Can i use factory head unit when installing subs, or do i need to upgrade it?

Aftermarket stereos have RCA outputs to send the audio signal to the amp. RCAs are the best method but chances are your factory stereo does not have a RCA output. You will need a amp with “high level inputs” or you will need to purchase a line out converter. If you have a amp with […]

Aftermarket stereos have RCA outputs to send the audio signal to the amp. RCAs are the best method but chances are your factory stereo does not have a RCA output. You will need a amp with “high level inputs” or you will need to purchase a line out converter. If you have a amp with “high level inputs” you can tap in to the speaker wires and connect them directly to the amp to send the audio signal. If your amp does not have “high level inputs” you will need to purchase and install a line-out converter. Line out converters connect to your speaker wires and convert them to RCA so you can run RCAs to the amp. The “active” type line out converters that require 12volt power work better than the “passive” un powered type. Being that you have a nice sub and amp I recommend you just but a aftermarket stereo. The other methods will work but replacing the deck is the best way to go and will result in higher sound quality.

dog antibiotics/anesthetic help?

With hold food AND water for 12 hours before you take your dog in. I used to work with an Anesthesiology group, and the problem, is that if there is anything in the stomach, the anesthesia can cause them to aspirate (throw up) which can cause aspiration pneumonia and can kill your dog.

I used to work with an Anesthesiology group, and the problem, is that if there is anything in the stomach, the anesthesia can cause them to aspirate (throw up) which can cause aspiration pneumonia and can kill your dog. (If you’ve never watched The Verdict with Robert Redford, it’s a must see- it will show you what can happen if they eat before surgery)- I would give your dog the 2X a day on Sunday (before the 12 hours)- then take the morning dose wtih you and give it to the vet- or let them know she hasn’t had it yet. Missing the 1 antibiotic pill will be fine- they might give it to her when she wakes up, or just tell you to skip the dose. Good luck to your little baby! AP

Fifth graders to kewl?

Hey well one thing she may be learning from you. If your older. And she wants to be just like you. And the reason why she wants to be like you is because she looks up to you. And even though she may have an attitude its just because she wants to be like everyone else. Why dont you talk to her and tell her thats not always cool and that just to be her own individual self because I see kids in my high school and im a senior and I know alot of kids who do drugs and drink to get drunk or fight so they will get accepted. Be her Hero. Talk to her you may save her in the long run. Tell her that you dont want her to make the same mistakes as you did. Just show her that you care. And even though she doesnt listen make her. sit her down and talk. Tell me how it goes you can email me if you want. K just message me back

Ozone (O3) is a key constituent of the troposphere (it is also an important constituent of certain regions of the stratosphere commonly known as the Ozone layer). Photochemical and chemical reactions involving it drive many of the chemical processes that occur in the atmosphere by day and by night. At abnormally high concentrations brought about by human activities (largely the combustion of fossil fuel), it is a pollutant, a constituent of smog. Many highly energetic reactions produce it, ranging from combustion to photocopying. Often laser printers will have a smell of ozone, which in high concentrations is toxic. Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent readily reacting with other chemical compounds to make many possibly toxic oxides. The troposphere extends to between 10 and 18 kilometers above the surface of the Earth and consists of many layers. Ozone is more concentrated above the mixing layer, or ground layer. Ground-level ozone, though less concentrated than ozone aloft, is more of a problem because of its health effects. Tropospheric ozone is a greenhouse gas and initiates the chemical removal of methane and other hydrocarbons from the atmosphere thus its concentration affects how long these compounds remain in the air. Satellites can measure tropospheric ozone.[1][2] Measurements specifically of ground-level ozone require in situ monitoring technology.

How is Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 Digital Camera ?

If you’re just after a digital camera with better resolution than a compact cam, and don’t plan on building an extensive system around it, then the A100 is as good as any other 10mp dSLR (the A100 however is a bit noisy at ISO800 and above compared to similar models from Pentax, Nikon, Canon). If […]

If you’re just after a digital camera with better resolution than a compact cam, and don’t plan on building an extensive system around it, then the A100 is as good as any other 10mp dSLR (the A100 however is a bit noisy at ISO800 and above compared to similar models from Pentax, Nikon, Canon). If you plan to build a system though, I’d hold off on the Alpha. Even though it’s essentially a rebadged Konica-Minolta and takes Minolta AF lenses which have been around for a long time, there’s no guarantee that Sony will remain committed to their Alpha line. I say this because Sony’s been notorious in the past few years in ditching their better camera series (F-series, R1, V-series), and so far they haven’t done much to maintain the Alpha line. Two new models are due any time now but until they’re actually manufactured and selling on the shelves, I’m skeptical regarding Sony’s plans. Furthermore, if planning a system, beware of Sony lens prices. They’re sky-high (ie. ripoff) compared to the others (and not any better optically) so you’re ultimately going to end up spending more money than if you were to get into one of the other brands. Good camera, produces great images, but not nearly ready for prime-time as a system.

Any one can tell me when is the best month to visit India New Delhi ?

Best time: not earlier than october Golden Triangle: Delhi > Agra > Jaipur > Delhi You will definitely enjoy the trip to India. I guess, this is your first time. I also have visited India first time as a tourist and my trip was Golden Triangle too. It’s now i live in India. Well in Agra, there is not much to see except Taj Mahal. My advice is to see the masterpiece two times - once in a day time and in the evening. You will see the difference, as in the evening they turn on the lights all around the Taj and it looks gorgeous. Jaipur is a wonderful place with beautiful landscape. There you will see the Fort, where you can ride the elephant! If you ride one, so my advice is to sit closer to his tail, not to the head, because… each time elephants meet each they may split on you from their trunks (that had happened to my friend). Delhi is the capital, many things to see. Many temples, especially you will like Lotus temple - it looks great! In any case, i wish you to have a nice time and enjoy! Best of luck!
