» Geo-encoding

What are the options for encoding pictures' EXIF with location data? I use smugmug and I can manually type in addresses or lat/long but that isn't exactly fast if I have a set of 100 shots. I understand some cameras have GPS built-in but I don't want to buy a new camera and plus those aren't DSLRs. What I'd ideally like to have is a GPS that just tracked me (breadcrumb mode or whatever) and software that could match those 'breadcrumbs' to the EXIF data in a folder of pictures. Then it could match times to put lat/long data in all the pics. Is there anything out there like that? Any other cool options? I take long motorcycle rides and it'd be cool to put something like that on my website.Hmmm now that is interesting. Maybe providing the t...... - 2009-07-03

I have a room thats about 20 feet down the hall from my parents room, and I sometimes talk about things that are not best overheard. Aside from keeping my voice down, is there a way to dampen the amount of noise coming from my room. I'm already trying to figure out a way to get the door to fit tighter into its frame. I'm also rearranging my room so that there is more furniture against the wall my room shares with the hallway, to absorb some sound.

Those would be far better for my enjoyment. I like that idea a lot. Not only would it remove all the unnecessary garbage but it would send the MCR fans into an absolute tizzy, knowing that their beloved "rock" band is actually a pre-fabricated teen pop outfit.

The little circles are fun, but you really need to know the storm's nature from either visual observations or warning statements.

You can try using this for your insects as well, bt it'll be pretty difficult, so for this you want a macro lens. Tamron do a lens that is even cheaper than the nikon!

A proinflammatory cytokine, TNF-a is an immune/inflammatory marker, or indicator, that occurs in rheumatoid arthritis and many other inflammatory diseases. Since tomato carotenoids have been successful in other areas of health support, researchers decided to see if they would have an effect on immune and inflammatory markers. “Regular consumption of tomato and its products is being consistently associated with lower risk of several types of cancer and, to a lesser extent, coronary heart disease,” researchers wrote. “Among the many tomato components credit...... - 2009-07-03

» When I knew I had a virus, but my white blood count was 27,000 could that also mean cancer?

13 years ago I had hodgekins (cancer) lymphoma. I am in remission. I have no spleen, and my immunity stinks.. I was in hospital and my white blood count was 27,000. I was temp of 104.3, and had a horrible miagraine.. They discharged me, and now I have over 60 fever blisters/ulcers all through my lips and mouth. If your white blood count is that High, could it mean cancer again? What can I do to clear up these fever blisters?With a high white count and a fever that high I'm surprised you were not prescribed antibiotics. High white count and fever would probably mean bacterial infection. My suggestion would be to go back to the doctor. If you went to the emergency room they are only going to treat what they can at the moment. A general...... - 2009-07-03

» Will the cuts leave a scar?

My girlfriend cut herself, but she only did it one time. However, this one time she made several cuts on her stomach, and she says she won't ever do it again, but I'm afraid the cuts will scar. I don't want them to scar, I don't want her to have to remember how she felt, and I don't want to have to remember what they mean, either. So, do you think they will scar? Is there any way we can try to prevent it?First, I would guess that she is cutting to cause enough pain to override a more painful emotional pain. This type of behavior definitely requires professional therapy. It is very serious. As far as scars, that has to do with what the cuts are like, how much they have been exposed to the sun and if the skin has...... - 2009-07-03

» Biodiversity is crucial to ecosystem productivity

Brown scientists say biodiversity is crucial to ecosystem productivity PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] - In the first experiment involving a natural environment, scientists at Brown University have shown that richer plant diversity significantly enhances an ecosystem's productivity. The finding underscores the benefits of biodiversity, such as capturing carbon dioxide, a main contributor to global warming. Osvaldo Sala, director of the Environmental Change Initiative and the Sloan Lindeman Professor of Biology at Brown, and Pedro Flombaum, a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Brown, said the results confirmed tests charting how biodiversity affects aboveground plant productivit...... - 2009-07-03

Biota says US govt orders more Relenza March 23, 2006 - 2:52PM Biota Holdings Ltd says the US government has ordered more of its influenza drug Relenza to strengthen its defence against a possible bird flu pandemic. Biota said the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) had ordered 2.2 million courses of the anti-viral drug from global pharmaceutical giant, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). The biotechnology company licenses Relenza to GSK. The order is in addition to the 1.75 million courses announced earlier this month. Biota receives a royalty of seven per cent on Relenza sales. The company said HHS secretary Mike Leavitt announced the plans yesterday as a bulwark against the deadly H5N1 strain in the event of a pandemic. He sai...... - 2009-07-03

» Do guys have to come off so desperate?

One time I was standing on a bus stop when some random man walked up and stood in front of me. He asked me if he could have a minute of my time. I shook my head no and he asked "Oh, so it's like that?" Did he not understand when I shook my head no to his inquiry of whether or not he could have a minute of my time? Did he think I would change my mind? Or how about the guys that will continue to talk AT a woman's back when she has clearly not acknowledged the man's presence? So why must some guys come of as desperate when trying to talk to women? Stick to the question. And don't make this a matter of what women may do...It's probably different for each of them. But one possible explanation is that th...... - 2009-07-03

And how can you tell what kind they are if the label is missing? The bulb size appears to be the same!Exterior is outside and interior is inside, when in doubt you have to use them inside if you don't know what they are. It's not the bulbs but the wiring and sockets which determines inside or out. Best to buy all exterior lights as they can be used indoors as well.

Hey All, How many of you have previous versions of Windows running on your home network and also have a computer running Microsoft Vista (any flavor)? If yes have you had problems sharing files, folders, and printers between them? Can you even see the XP computers from the Vista machine and vice-versa? I recently bought a notebook for my Mom to replace her old one running WinME. While I have it at home getting it setup for her to use and making a full backup I found that I had the problems I mention above.

Mathis was on our local sportstalk outlet (in Atlanta - he's here for a Metros v. Silverbacks friendly) during drive time. If you told me five years ago that this was going to happen, I would've smiled at you and nodded. Then, after you left, I would have rolled my eyes, shaken my head, and wondered at the waste of a good mind. He didn't, of course, say anything ground-breaking. I was just astonished at his very presence.I am guessing it was 790 the Zone?? They were at the Open Cup game a few weeks ago, and actually seem a little more pro-soccer than 680.

» Is this cockatiel a female or male?

hi I just got a cockatiel and they said it was a male but I think it has pearl on the wings witch would make it a female. here are some pictures what do you think. [IMG]http://i402.photobucket.com/album...Looks like a male to me. Brighter colors. Pearlies are pearlie in more than a small area. Males also have button round eyes and females are more almond shaped. Also, age is dependent on coloration. A young bird who is pearlie can molt out to become a plain grey cockie. I had it happen to me, I got the prettiest pearlie who turned into a boy who just carried the pearlie gene.They're VERY small pictures which makes it harder to ID.

I still pull the slow turner (166) out for the few powder days where the longer wider helps with floating on the powder. it depends. if you are going for all around riding, then yes a 63 is a good size. if you want to focus on park, go for a 157-59. it will ride fine in everything and you will have much more control in the park, but at high speeds and powder it can be lacking,...... - 2009-07-03

» How often should I get an oil change?

I am planning to buy a used red 1998 Ford Mustang in case that helpsonce a weekNot to dodge your question but in 1998 Ford recommended 5,000 mile oil changes. Here's what I've done in the past with my Sable and Taurus which both call for 5W-30. I suspect your Mustang also calls for the same viscosity grade oil. These two cars are my town and winter beaters so they see very few sustained high speed hot trip driving. I change the regular mineral oil every 3,500 - 4,000 miles. If you chose to use something like full synthetic Mobil1 you could very safely stretch the mileage to the maximum factory 5,000 mile recommendation. Forget partial or semi-synthetic motor oil.
