I have enough to get a passport, isn't that enough?

My wife is going on a cruise this weekend. Her birth certificate and passport are missing. Leaving from California, I'm in Virginia. The ship is stopping in Mexico for fuel. Options?

Okay, just a little pin prick.

Is edetate disodium really necessary when preparing sodium ascorbate for injection?

Will it fit?

So I have a dead 4g iPod with a 60 gig hard drive. I'm thinking about buying a new 30 gig one and upgrading it myself...

So I have a very ditry commercial oven

I've recently acquired a Vulcan oven from a restaurant that was closing down. To say it is dirty is an understatement. I've used lye based cleaners, a pressure washer, scrub brushes, and anything else I had lying around. It still isn't clean. It is mostly stainless steel, with some cast iron here and there. I have it sitting outside for the time being, because I don't want to attract rodents and bugs into the house. I really need to get this thing clean soon so I can get the propane tank installed. This oven was in use for 8 years without having a real cleaning. The grease was dripping off in the heat of the sun. But it is still quite grimy. Any advice? Nothing is too drastic. Help!

This is a gun control debate waiting to happen, and nothing more. Hardly the best of the web.

Modding my kitchen?

I'm thinking of using cold cathode lights (the type normally sold at computer stores to case modders) as under-cabinet lighting in my kitchen.

What does air do to your heart?

So what happens when you accidentally inject 2 mLs of air directly into a vein via an IV?

Springfield Lemon Tree Filter: I have a Meyer...

Springfield Lemon Tree Filter: I have a Meyer lemon tree which was subjected to very cold temperatures last month. I was able to get it inside, but it spent almost a week outside, with temperatures in the low twenties (F). All of the leaves have dried up, and most have now fallen off. No new leaves have grown. I've had this tree for about six years, and it was a few years old when I purchased it. I'd very much like to save it.

It is in an extremely oversized pot, which I thought would help shield it from the cold, but apparently it wasn't enough. At the very least, I'd like to be able to save the roots, even if I have to graft another tree to the trunk. Any ideas?
