AquaticNecromancyFilter: Combined, the cities of San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley employ about 3500 uniformed police officers. Do they outnumber the army that could be raised by dark magic from the floor of the San Francisco Bay? Approximately how many entire sets of human skeletal remains are there in that body of water, considering disasters, shipwrecks, bridge jumpers, tidal movement of sediment, etc.?

I am going to start running. I am! But I've also never made any attempt at serious athletic dedication in my life. What do I need to know, starting with stretches and moving towards routines. Pretend I am an alien. More inside.

Mmmm... cheese. I went to a tapas restaurant the other day and one of the things we ordered was roasted chèvre — essentially a sticky warm blob of goat's milk cheese in a dish. The edges were brown, perhaps caramelized, and it tasted deliciously sweet. How do I make it? And do I need a butane torch to do it?

I've already checked out
officefurniture.com,
IKEA,
Office Maxand
Staples.
Can you recommend a place to get modern type office furniture, particularly desks for around $500 or less? I'm looking for either a corner desk or L-shaped.

I love risotto. I really do. But my recipe which is a chicken + spinach risotto is getting boring. I'd love to experiment a bit more.

Recommend an internet print shop that offers the standard business cards and letterhead, but prints on an actual press and not just (gross) digital printing with glossy coatings?

If you're anything like me, at least one out of every three times you've had to use a flashlight, you wished you could machine gun someone to death with it.

I've been living on my own for about five years now, but I still cannot for the life of me understand grocery shopping. I've tried buying the staples, easy-to-cook meals, and even specific recipes. But I always end up ordering take out after a week.

My employer does not provide vision insurance -and I wear glasses for nearsightedness. The way I see it, I have three options -
1) Use the Lenscrafters coupons in the Sunday paper,
2) Use my AAA member card for a discount at Lenscrafters,
3) Use the measly 20% vision discount I have available as a member of BlueShield, or
4) Sign up for independent vision coverage through a plan like
VSP. Is anyone else in a similar boat? What do you use? What do you recommend
and advise against using?

What's wrong with my artichokes (or is it me)? First time I've bought artichokes. I cut them open according to the instructions on artichokes.org, and instead of
tasty yellow artichoke hearts, I have
thorny stuff and furry stuff. I tried with 2 other artichokes and they're the same.

MP3 tagging: I have hundreds and hundreds of songs tagged with the title like this: Stairway_To_Heaven. In a Word file, fixing this is trivial, and I could save that to a txt file. Is there tagging software that will rename by pulling from a text file? Windows only, please.

Goodbye everyone, Since there has been discussion regarding whether or not my posts to this community are relevant, I have decided to no longer post here. I've enjoyed my time here...meeting a lot of you, but I simply find this community's rules too restrictive, and since I write what I feel, without regard to content (Is it sexist? Is it parental? Is it political? Is it, God forbid, all three??), this community will only end up stifling my originality, and I have no intentions of letting myself be censored in this way. i hope you fall off your soap box someday and bust your ass.
i'm out of here. i am not sad about it either.

Romaine Brooks
(1874-1970), American expatriate
artist
known for her
haunting portraiture
and
striking palette,
suffered a childhood so dark that she entitled her (unpublished) memoir "No Pleasant Memories." She went on to become an important figure in early twentieth century
art
and earned the Legion d'honneur in 1920 for her contributions to France in World World I.
A pivotal figure in the Paris lesbian salons, Brooks was the model for characters in novels by Radclyffe Hall, Compton Mackenzie and Djuna Barnes. Although said to be "fully herself only when alone," she had a fifty year relationship with
Natalie Clifford Barney.
Her
art
has enjoyed a reappreciation in recent years and her work has been featured in exhibitions at the
National Museum of Women in the Arts
and the
Berkeley Art Museum. Her
life
and
work
have been the subject of several
books
and have a startling
contemporary resonance.

I have seen a drawing representing 72 music bands (with a zeppelin in the sky, a guy who is smashing pumpkins, etc.). The aim of the game is to identify these bands. I can't find it again on the web. Help me.
