What is the name for having an excellent memory?

I can remember things from when i was two years old.


I remember details of paintings and photos.


I never forget a face.


I have been told its a sign of genius but i think there is a different name for it.

What is the name for having an excellent memory?
I bet the term you are looking for is eidetic memory.
Reply:I don't know but it is a temporary condition. Not much to be proud of. All of our material qualities come from God and we have nothing to be proud of because He can take them away if we are too proud of them. Can you remember being in the whom of your mother or in your previous lives. Many people have memory of this. There is always someone more intelligent or has more memory or a better singer or whatever. Best to think of the great qualities of the Supreme Person who gave you the qualities in the first place for more universal information go to http://www.stephen-knapp.com

Memory like that isn't a sign of intelligence. You can remember details, but for it to be considered intelligence, you have to know and understand how to apply certain things.





For example, remembering everything that is written on a specific text book page will not help you if you don't understand what it's saying.

How can my name be added to my mum's title deeds to her flat?

My mum would like to add my name to the title deeds making us joint tenants, so the property would pass to me on her death, and avoid inheritance tax.





Does anyone know if this can be done easily and by myself without using a solicitor please?


Thanks!

How can my name be added to my mum's title deeds to her flat?
It must be done by a solicitor as if you have a document that is not legal. You will have a lot of problems if she passes away.





Spend the extra money and get it done right.

It will be classed as a gift from your mum to you so she will have to live 7 years to avoid IT
Reply:use a solictor it really is the only way to ensure that the document will be legal and watertight in the event of any dispute. a word of advice dont just have your name added to the deeds this wont count for inheritance tax purchase your share of the flat for a 拢1 to be doubly sure youyou have a legal intrest in the property.


YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ADD YOUR NAME TO THE DEEDS IF THERE IS A MORTGAGE ON THE PROPERTY IN ANY EVENT THE LENDERS WILL NOT ALLOW IT

What is the name of the health insurance co. that members of congress have?

I want to know soo that I can call them to enroll myself %26amp; my whole family. I will tell them that the president of the United States promised that I could have the same insurance as members of congress at a reasonable rate, so I would like to sign up now. In fact we should all start callin for our health insurance!

What is the name of the health insurance co. that members of congress have?
Members of Congress and the President get their health insurance through the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHB). The benefits are a significant piece of their compensation package, and offer a richer menu of coverage than what is typically covered by Medicare. Members of Congress also have given themselves a generous tax break, which lowers their taxable income on the portion of the premium that they pay.


the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, the FEHB program offers working Members of Congress, retirees, and their survivors the widest selection of health plans in the country. In addition to health insurance benefits, Members of Congress may also receive dental, vision, as well as long-term care benefits. Generally the federal government (funded by the taxpayer) pays up to 75% of the health insurance premiums, and Members of Congress cover the other 25% out of their (taxpayer-funded) salaries.
Reply:They have a choice of providers who are under the federal employees health care system.

I mean if America is so hopelessly dysfunctional, which it may be, where else would you rather live if not here- it must be somewhere else? Name any country in which one does not need to be accompanied by a body guard or chauffeured in a bullet proof vehicle. One in which you pay fewer taxes for such largess, etc. As usual I expect nearly no answers for such a provocative challenge.

What are the name of the guns that shoot a dart like and sleeps an animal or human?
they are called tranquilizer guns these guns are fired by compressed air or use co2. the darts sometimes use a substance know as atravat to calm the animal
Reply:There really is no "name"... depending on who you talk to it can be dart gun, blow gun, tranquilizer gun. The only time a name will come into play is with the brand.





For the most part there are two types. One is as simple as a basic blow gun where the user uses their own air by blowing into the back of the pipe. These are really only used with close range stuff and most places do not use them. The other, which is mainly used by most places fires off of compressed air (co2). Kinda like the air tanks you would use for a paintball gun.

What is the name of the artist or painting that shows a knight and a maiden kissing in the stairwell?

It's obviously in a castle's stairwell,and they seem to be secrative or hiding.

What is the name of the artist or painting that shows a knight and a maiden kissing in the stairwell?
Below is a link of the painting that shetland was referring to, however I'm not sure that is the correct answer to your question.





The first painting that came to mind for me was "God Speed" c.1900 by Edmund Blair Leighton. Again I'm not sure that this is what you were looking for since they are not kissing and are not in secret. The next one I’d have you look at would be “Tristan and Isolde” by the same artist.





The final one that comes to mind would be “Romeo and Juliet” by Sir Frank Dicksee. (please see links below)





Edmund Blair Leighton's subject matter is typically of knights and maidens, so it might be a good start, however many artists were drawn to this subject, so it might help to get more information. Did you see it in a museum somewhere?
Reply:Might it be Francesco Hayez, 'The Kiss'?

What is the name/model number for a really good printer?
Lasers have sharper text and are generally faster than inkjets. While toner cartridges are more expensive than ink, they print more pages, so the cost per page is lower. But you pay more up front. Inkjets are better for photos and cheaper for low volume. Personally, I use both. I have an inkjet for photos, a color laser for high volume color jobs and a black laser for regular text. I use the black laser most often.


You can get a good color laser today for $80! Samsung CLP-300 at http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/p...


I have this printer and it's really nice. Toner cartridges are more expensive then inkjet cartridges ($70 for a set of 4 at http://ccs-digital.com/ink.asp ) but they last for about 2,000 pages.It does a nice job on photos, but an inkjet is still better for this.


Inkjet: As someone who was in the computer hardware business for years (though I rarely sold printers since I couldn't compete with the crazy rebates) I have always recommended Epson. The print quality is excellent, even on plain paper. I have photos I printed on a 640 about ten years ago hanging in my office which still look good, though not as good as the ones from the CX8400 on glossy paper. The warranty is excellent. For a year, Epson will express-ship a replacement and pick up the old one. I had one customer who needed this. He called one afternoon and had the replacement two days later. Another client bought a Canon. It needed two repairs within a few months. Each time it was taken to the repair center, then picked up a few days later. This client runs a specialty printing business and this really hurt. They have since bought an Epson CX5000 and have had no down time since.


All name brand ink is expensive, but you can get cheap new replacement cartridges for Epson (not refills which I never recommend) for under $5 at http://ccs-digital.com/ink.asp I have been using these for years.

Reply:I agree with Geoff G's answer, with one minor detail I think that should be added.





The market is highly sensitive to speculation. If there are enough investors that pay attention to such a chart, it becomes a "self-fullfilling prophecy" of sorts. Meaning, if everyone thinks the market is going to suddenly change dramatically on Tuesday at 3:31 P.M., and execute numerous trades according to that belief, much of the market will change around that time.





Once upon a time, a stock went *up* if it had a good business model, belong to a company that had excellent products/services, or had a legitimate future. Now, any random stock can skyrocket in value, simply due to unfounded popularity. A few companies that became notorious in and around 2002-03 might remind you of this process.

I know you can get it cheaper than what they are asking for it on this website. I believe we got it for around $10. You might want to do a search online or check teacher stores in your area.





Also, depending on what age you teach, as a kindergarten teacher, I start out writing my students' names on sentence strips. In a couple weeks after school starts, they take a piece of copy paper and place it over their sentence strip name and trace it. Again, depending on their age- it helps to build up to using those fonts to trace.





I hope that helps.

Although M claims indifference, he is concerned why a multi-millionaire, and national hero, such as Sir Hugo would cheat at a card game. Later, Bond confirms Drax's deception, and manages to 'cheat the cheater' 鈥?aided by a cocktail of powdered Benzedrine mixed with non-vintage champagne 鈥?winning 拢15,000 and infuriating the out-smarted Drax.





As it turns out, Drax is the backer of the 'Moonraker' missile project being built to defend the UK against its Cold War enemies (c.f. the real Blue Streak missile). Essentially, the Moonraker rocket is an upgraded V-2 rocket using liquid hydrogen and fluorine as propellants; it can withstand the ultra-high combustion temperatures in its engine thanks to the use of columbite, on which Drax has a monopoly. Therefore, because the rocket's engine can withstand higher heat, the Moonraker can use more powerful fuels, greatly expanding its effective range. Partly due to the card cheating episode, M orders Bond to infiltrate Drax's missile-building organization on Romney marsh on the coast of England. Once inside, Bond uncovers clues to a yet undiscovered plot to destroy London. Also, while working undercover Bond meets a beautiful agent called Gala Brand.

Memory like that isn't a sign of intelligence. You can remember details, but for it to be considered intelligence, you have to know and understand how to apply certain things.





For example, remembering everything that is written on a specific text book page will not help you if you don't understand what it's saying.

What is the name of the decoration on churches incorrectly called 'gargoyles'?

Gargoyles are water spouts sculpted into ugly faces. The thing I'm talking about is also a sculpted ugly face but doesn't spout water.

What is the name of the decoration on churches incorrectly called 'gargoyles'?
yeah, possibly grotesques...





The word "Gargoyle" shares a root with the word "Gargle"; they come from "gargouille", an old French word for "Throat". A true gargoyle is a waterspout.


An unusual carved creature that does not serve that purpose is properly called a "Grotesque".
Reply:Chimera / chimeras, or grotesque.





" Although most have grotesque features, the term gargoyle has come to include all types of images. Some gargoyles were depicted as monks, combinations of real animals and people, many of which were humorous. Unusual animal mixtures, or chimeras, did not act as rainspouts and are more properly called grotesques. They serve more as ornamentation, but are now synonymous with gargoyles.





Gargoyles, or more precisely chimerae, were used as decoration on 19th and early 20th century buildings in cities such as New York (where the Chrysler Building's stainless steel gargoyles are celebrated), and Chicago. Gargoyles can be found on many churches and buildings.





One impressive collection of modern gargoyles can be found at Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC. The cathedral begun in 1908 is encrusted with the limestone demons. But this collection also includes Darth Vader, a crooked politician, robots and many other modern spins on the ancient tradition."
Reply:gargoyles
Reply:A similar type of sculpture that does not work as a waterspout and serves only an ornamental or artistic function is called a chimera, although these are popularly referred to as gargoyles also.
Reply:I'm thinking Seraphim, but I could be wrong. That's my best guess.
Reply:I thought they were called gargoyles. It may be seraphims, not sure. They were used to scare evil spirits and kept them from entering the church.
Reply:http://www.stratis.demon.co.uk/gargoyles...
Reply:The gargoyle appears on buildings as downspouts, cornice and sculptures. Even as spouts on vessels [bottles or pitchers]. But the creature depicted on these is a gargoyle.





This name, rooted in French, comes from the downspout use of the image and the sounds it made when water ran through it.
Reply:Interesting. Mmm, maybe a chimera? Or a grotesque? I thought they were all gargoyles before reading your question. Learn something new everyday!
Reply:Gargoyles are a type of "Chimera"which was originally just to get rainwater off of buildings. For some reason someone decided they would be better looking like monsters and ward off evil spirits at the same time.
Reply:The answer is not simple. The master stone cutters protrayed just about anything they wanted in these bas reliefs. They sometimes even placed their own faces or their pet dog's high on a pillar.


What is the name of the bill that President Bush used after 9-11 to declare a "state of emergency"?

I need to know what President Bush had passed that allowed him to invade a country without actually having Congress declare war? This is for my government project regarding the ability the president has to invade another country without getting Congress's approval. Thank you!

What is the name of the bill that President Bush used after 9-11 to declare a "state of emergency"?
The War Powers Act gave the president to use armed forces if there is an imminent and present danger. He must notify congress within 48 hours of the decision and he has control of the troops for 60 days, after which a congressional Declaration of war is needed to keep troops.
Reply:it's an executive power that the president has because the president is the commander in chief, so the president can put troops in another country for a certain amount of days. i cant remember how many exactly but i think its 60? something like that. President Bush did this and then Congress decided they agreed with his actions and formally declared war, which the legislative body has the ability to do.


btw, to the guy who's name is "terror" ur right, Bush wasn't the first to do this, but let's look back at all the time's it has happened..


Korea: o man, that turned out amazing. now we get North Korea to fight with! still!


Vietnam: don't even need to say anything here. this one didn't turn out so good.


And lastly, Iraq: hey! "mission accomplished"!!!!!


by the way, all these wars (or conflicts, as some would like them to be called) were started by republican presidents. yay them!
Reply:It's commonly referred to as a police action, and guess what, Bush wasn't the first person to use it. In fact, Congress has not declared war since World War II. The Korean War actually would be the first example of this executive power.
Reply:The War Powers Act of 1973 allows the president to use the military without the approval of Congress.





Don't forget that Congress hasn't declared war since 1941.

What is the name of the theory of promoting a bad employee to management, because they can do less damage?

However, I can't find it again, and it's really bugging me! - "Tip of my tongue" all day!

What is the name of the theory of promoting a bad employee to management, because they can do less damage?
I think you're referring to the Peter Principle. The way it's actually described is employees are promoted as long as they're doing their job correctly, until eventually they reach a position for which they're not suited, after which they're not promoted anymore. It's also described as "rising to one's level of incompetence."


I think the lesson there is that it's not always the correct move to promote someone in business. Sometimes they'd be better in their current position, and it's more wise to just give them a raise and maybe expand their authority if you think they can handle it.
Reply:The line I heard was, you get promoted to your level of incompitence. You get put in a place where you are harmless. But, I was laid off first so, we will never know.

They sell painting for very low prices, but that's not quite the same as being "discount." They hire people in places like Mexico and Asia to crank out dozens of paintings at at time. Still, if you like the end result, that's all that really matters.

Is there a name for this kind of table? If so where can I get one made?

Problem is that my home is soo tiny even a small dinette set would take up to much space. So my idea is to find a long skinny table to use so it can flank the wall then have 3 little stools fit neatly under it. Prblm is I can't find a table like this. The closest thing I've found is a long sofa table but it was too shrt only 26". What kinda table am I looking for? Do I just have to get one made? Where?


I can't just put in a counter ledge b/c my BF won't let me poke holes in the wall. Any suggestions?

Is there a name for this kind of table? If so where can I get one made?
A kitchen cabinet company can make what you need.





We had custom cabinetry done for my husbands office and needed a long narrow table at the end of the conference room. They can be any length or width you need. Ours is 16" wide and 6 ft long. Mahogany Formica finish.





It will probably be the more expensive way to go.





The drop leaf table is the best idea. Watch for estate sales, senior citizens frequently have them. They give you a dining table when needed but fold down very narrow.





I personally would find a more adaptable boyfriend.
Reply:Your best bet is either a flat desk, or a library table. Neither is particularly easy to find. However, I've included some links which will give you a general idea.





I'd suggest flea markets and antique shops, as these items have pretty much disapeared from the general furniture market. Besides, the ones I've found are pretty costly. Both the flat desk and the library table are chair height, and ideal for against the wall seating.

Reply:I too, have a small home with no dining area.....we purchased a piece of furniture, that is a coffee table, only a little wider, which pulls up and out against u while u are sitting on the couch. three people can eat at once, and when you are done, you just push it down back into its natural position. It has arms under it which allows it to come up and out. They are fairly cheap, and the result...is what your looking for...and no need for modification to your house. Check any furniture store...a store here where I live called Gabriel brothers had them for 112.00
Reply:Hi,





apart from getting a more amenable boyfriend perhaps one way would be to buy a folding table?





These are available in various widths often 12"-15" wide, with a flap that can be pulled out and locked into position when needed.





The easiest answer, of course is to make the holes in the wall and build the type of table YOU want. Who's got to use it anyway? If your boyfriend can't come up with a better solution use the one YOU thought of.





Good luck in getting a suitable table (and boyfriend?)





p.s. the type of folding table is freely available here in Spain, but I can't help you with suppliers in the USA.

[edit] Mesentery (proper)


The mesentery proper (i.e. the original definition) refers to the peritoneum responsible for connecting the jejunum and ileum, parts of the small intestine, to the back wall of the abdomen. Between the two sheets of peritoneum are blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerves. This allows these parts of the small intestine to move relatively freely within the abdominopelvic cavity. The brain, however, cannot map sensation accurately, so sensation is usually referred to the midline, an example of referred pain.

Reply:It is the University of Bologna, Italy – Which started teaching from 10th Century and recognized as University 1088





The institution that we today call the University began to take shape in Bologna at the end of the eleventh century, when masters of Grammar, Rhetoric and Logic began to devote themselves to the law. In the nineteenth century a committee of historians, led by Giosuè Carducci, attributed the birth of the University to the year 1088.





The first recorded scholars were Pepone and Irnerio, the latter of whom was defined by the former as "lucerna iuris". With the advice of four doctores thought to be their pupils, in 1158 Federico I promulgated the Constitutio Habita, in which the University was legally declared a place where research could develop independently from any other power. (from UofB website)





Some others are:


* University of Paris, France – recognized as University 1150 (possibly the first if you note the first written reference to the UofB mentioned above)


* University of Oxford, England – teaching from 1096 recognised as University 1167

The legendary university flourished 2,300 years ago when Alexandria was the intellectual and cultural hub of the world. While in the city, Archimedes crafted a water pump of a type still used today; Euclid organized and developed the rules of geometry; Hypsicles divided the zodiac into 360 equal arcs; and Eratosthenes calculated the diameter of Earth. Other scholars in the city are believed to have edited the works of Homer and produced the Septuagint, the ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament. “This is the oldest university ever found in the world,” Grzegorz Majcherek, who directed the dig under the auspices of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, told the Associated Press. “This is the first material evidence of the existence of academic life in Alexandria.”

Unusual animal mixtures, or chimeras, did not act as rainspouts and are more properly called grotesques. They serve more as ornamentation, but are now synonymous with gargoyles.





Gargoyles, or more precisely chimerae, were used as decoration on 19th and early 20th century buildings in cities such as New York (where the Chrysler Building's stainless steel gargoyles are celebrated), and Chicago. Gargoyles can be found on many churches and buildings.





One impressive collection of modern gargoyles can be found at Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC. The cathedral begun in 1908 is encrusted with the limestone demons. But this collection also includes Darth Vader, a crooked politician, robots and many other modern spins on the ancient tradition."

Reply:A similar type of sculpture that does not work as a waterspout and serves only an ornamental or artistic function is called a chimera, although these are popularly referred to as gargoyles also.
Reply:I'm thinking Seraphim, but I could be wrong. That's my best guess.
Reply:I thought they were called gargoyles. It may be seraphims, not sure. They were used to scare evil spirits and kept them from entering the church.

Reply:The gargoyle appears on buildings as downspouts, cornice and sculptures. Even as spouts on vessels [bottles or pitchers]. But the creature depicted on these is a gargoyle.





This name, rooted in French, comes from the downspout use of the image and the sounds it made when water ran through it.
Reply:Interesting. Mmm, maybe a chimera? Or a grotesque? I thought they were all gargoyles before reading your question. Learn something new everyday!
Reply:Gargoyles are a type of "Chimera"which was originally just to get rainwater off of buildings. For some reason someone decided they would be better looking like monsters and ward off evil spirits at the same time.
Reply:The answer is not simple. The master stone cutters protrayed just about anything they wanted in these bas reliefs. They sometimes even placed their own faces or their pet dog's high on a pillar.


What is the name of the bill that President Bush used after 9-11 to declare a "state of emergency"?

I need to know what President Bush had passed that allowed him to invade a country without actually having Congress declare war? This is for my government project regarding the ability the president has to invade another country without getting Congress's approval. Thank you!

What is the name of the bill that President Bush used after 9-11 to declare a "state of emergency"?
The War Powers Act gave the president to use armed forces if there is an imminent and present danger. He must notify congress within 48 hours of the decision and he has control of the troops for 60 days, after which a congressional Declaration of war is needed to keep troops.
Reply:it's an executive power that the president has because the president is the commander in chief, so the president can put troops in another country for a certain amount of days. i cant remember how many exactly but i think its 60? something like that. President Bush did this and then Congress decided they agreed with his actions and formally declared war, which the legislative body has the ability to do.


btw, to the guy who's name is "terror" ur right, Bush wasn't the first to do this, but let's look back at all the time's it has happened..


Korea: o man, that turned out amazing. now we get North Korea to fight with! still!


Vietnam: don't even need to say anything here. this one didn't turn out so good.


And lastly, Iraq: hey! "mission accomplished"!!!!!


by the way, all these wars (or conflicts, as some would like them to be called) were started by republican presidents. yay them!
Reply:It's commonly referred to as a police action, and guess what, Bush wasn't the first person to use it. In fact, Congress has not declared war since World War II. The Korean War actually would be the first example of this executive power.
Reply:The War Powers Act of 1973 allows the president to use the military without the approval of Congress.





Don't forget that Congress hasn't declared war since 1941.

Reply:Di humidifier or air conditioner both work to take out humidity.
Reply:A dehumidifier is a household appliance that reduces the level of humidity in air, usually for health reasons, as humid air can cause mold and mildew to grow inside homes, which has various health risks. Very high humidity levels are also unpleasant for human beings, cause unsightly condensation and can make it hard to dry laundry

An air conditioner will do that

What is the name of the theory of promoting a bad employee to management, because they can do less damage?

I read somewhere online about a theory, about promoting poorer employees to management, because they are less likely to cause problems, being away from the frontline!





However, I can't find it again, and it's really bugging me! - "Tip of my tongue" all day!

What is the name of the theory of promoting a bad employee to management, because they can do less damage?
I think you're referring to the Peter Principle. The way it's actually described is employees are promoted as long as they're doing their job correctly, until eventually they reach a position for which they're not suited, after which they're not promoted anymore. It's also described as "rising to one's level of incompetence."


I think the lesson there is that it's not always the correct move to promote someone in business. Sometimes they'd be better in their current position, and it's more wise to just give them a raise and maybe expand their authority if you think they can handle it.
Reply:The line I heard was, you get promoted to your level of incompitence. You get put in a place where you are harmless. But, I was laid off first so, we will never know.
Reply:Are you thinking of the Peter Principle?


What is the name and webpage of the company that sells oil paintings to the public at discounted prices?

What is the name and webpage of the company that sells oil paintings to the public at discounted prices?
It sounds like you are thinking of the Starving Artist Group. Here's their Web page:


http://starvingartistgroup.com/





They sell painting for very low prices, but that's not quite the same as being "discount." They hire people in places like Mexico and Asia to crank out dozens of paintings at at time. Still, if you like the end result, that's all that really matters.





Good luck!!

Is there a name for this kind of table? If so where can I get one made?

Problem is that my home is soo tiny even a small dinette set would take up to much space. So my idea is to find a long skinny table to use so it can flank the wall then have 3 little stools fit neatly under it. Prblm is I can't find a table like this. The closest thing I've found is a long sofa table but it was too shrt only 26". What kinda table am I looking for? Do I just have to get one made? Where?


I can't just put in a counter ledge b/c my BF won't let me poke holes in the wall. Any suggestions?

Is there a name for this kind of table? If so where can I get one made?
A kitchen cabinet company can make what you need.





We had custom cabinetry done for my husbands office and needed a long narrow table at the end of the conference room. They can be any length or width you need. Ours is 16" wide and 6 ft long. Mahogany Formica finish.





It will probably be the more expensive way to go.





The drop leaf table is the best idea. Watch for estate sales, senior citizens frequently have them. They give you a dining table when needed but fold down very narrow.





I personally would find a more adaptable boyfriend.
Reply:Your best bet is either a flat desk, or a library table. Neither is particularly easy to find. However, I've included some links which will give you a general idea.





I'd suggest flea markets and antique shops, as these items have pretty much disapeared from the general furniture market. Besides, the ones I've found are pretty costly. Both the flat desk and the library table are chair height, and ideal for against the wall seating.
Reply:Suzie F I've got one of those tables. Under neath is where I keep my candles. Did you know if you put candles in freezer they will last much longer when you take them out and light them. Just freeze them overnight and put them away in a cupboard.
Reply:It is called a hall table.It is tall and slender.They were used to put in an alcove in a hall under a mirror or behind and butted up to a couch. I do not know where you can get one made( I don't know where your from ) my Dad made mine for me.He does great work.But advertise in paper for some handy man that could build you one.
Reply:I too, have a small home with no dining area.....we purchased a piece of furniture, that is a coffee table, only a little wider, which pulls up and out against u while u are sitting on the couch. three people can eat at once, and when you are done, you just push it down back into its natural position. It has arms under it which allows it to come up and out. They are fairly cheap, and the result...is what your looking for...and no need for modification to your house. Check any furniture store...a store here where I live called Gabriel brothers had them for 112.00
Reply:Hi,





apart from getting a more amenable boyfriend perhaps one way would be to buy a folding table?





These are available in various widths often 12"-15" wide, with a flap that can be pulled out and locked into position when needed.





The easiest answer, of course is to make the holes in the wall and build the type of table YOU want. Who's got to use it anyway? If your boyfriend can't come up with a better solution use the one YOU thought of.





Good luck in getting a suitable table (and boyfriend?)





p.s. the type of folding table is freely available here in Spain, but I can't help you with suppliers in the USA.





Cheers,

What is the name of that thing the doctor uses to look into your ear and check you for brains?

Well it doesn't quite check for your brains :-D but it's called an auriscope.





EDIT: I wonder if the name is an English vs. American thing? A quick straw poll of colleagues at St.Thomas' Hospital, London today had most calling it an auriscope. The only ones calling it an otoscope were a U.S.-trained nurse and a doctor from Trinidad.





Interesting...

What is the name of that thing the doctor uses to look into your ear and check you for brains?
The name I am more familiar with is "otoscope." They use it to examine the ear canal and to visualize the ear drum.
Reply:It's called otoscope in vet medicine too. Though generally we're checking the ear canal and not looking for brains. Hehehehe, most dogs don't have those anyway!
Reply:It's called a "Democrat Detector." If there is a brain in the skull, then the patient is a Democrat.

What's the name of the womens hairstyle where hair is long on sides/back, but cut straight along front?

Looks kind of like an ancient egyptian hairstyle. Basically the hair around the head is long, straight and cut evenly, maybe a little past shoulder length, but in the front right above the eyebrows it's cut in a straight line so the person can see forward. So basically like a mop, with one section of hair cleanly cut out.

What is the name of this device sold in radioshack?

The two end of this wire get plugged in to two inputs in the computer where one is audio and the other is microphone. This is used to record any sound without having to put a microphone in front of the speaker.


Can anyone please tell me what this device is called?

What is the name of this device sold in radioshack?
I think you are talking about a male 3.5mm to male 3.5mm stereo wire. This will allow you to take a signal from the sound card output and send it to the line-in input. If I understand what you are doing, there is a much easier way of doing it. Release 11.5 of dbpoweramp includes a program called "aux. input." It allows you to record to mp3, wma, mp4, etc whatever you system mixer is playing. It works the same way but without the need for additional hardware. dbpoweramp is free and here is the link to version 11.5: http://www.pcauthority.com.au/downloads....





Good luck.
Reply:It sounds like you want to ask for a patch cable to patch audio out to microphone in or line in.
