If you can give detail on what it means that would be helpful too.

I came across this picture on the net this morning and was wondering if anyone knows what the common name of the flower is? The person who took the shot didn't know. :(

I usually serve chorizo with spanish rice, but I am trying to use up what I have on hand because I will be moving next week and really don't want to just throw it away. And I really don't want to go to the grocery store to buy chorizo... thoughts?

I am positive the thread is in the correct position. When I start to sew, the bobbin thread gets bunched up underneath the fabric and in the machine. When I open it up, the thread is wrapped around the bobbin casing several times. I always have to cut it to free it from the machine. Anyone have a clue what is causing this?

I am looking to buy a mobile home that just came on the market yesterday. It is the lowest priced home available in my area, $10,000 cheaper than the next one up, although it does have one less bedroom. They are asking $19,900. Since it's new on the market and priced so much lower than others, I know the seller is not going to sway too much in price. Is there a "standard" to go by? Such as 1%, 3% etc... under asking? This is the first time I'm purchasing a home since my divorce. I don't want to overpay. But this is probably going to be the ONLY thing I can afford. 2br apts go for $900+ in my area. I'm living with my grandmother right now and just want a place of my own!

My daughter will be returning to college after giving birth to her son recently. She will be pumping and we need a good alternative so baby doesn't become confused with the new method of feeding. We are looking at The First Years Breastflow Bottle:

Is this truly the most realistic substitution, or is there something better you can recommend?

I need a good source (other than ebay) that sells soda bottle caps. I like to use all different brands in my projects but all I can ever find on ebay are small lots, or lots of all one type. Any sources you could give me would be great!

Should I serve the food first, have mom open gifts first, play games first? I'm at a loss!

I have recently heard about early communication with infants and toddlers through sign language. I've checked out Amazon and there are several books available on the subject. I was just wondering if anyone has used this method of communication with their baby and if there's a book or two that you recommend?

Their cornbread is so good! Does anyone have a similar recipe?

I've seen cakes made from bath towels and angels made from dish towels like these http://www.superweddings.com/towelcake.htm

Does anyone know of sites with other types of "towel" crafts?

When I was small, my family and I used to spend our summers in North Carolina with family. I'm an adult now, and haven't been there in years. Anyway, we would always have a big party complete with a pit roasted hog and LOTS of salads, sides, and desserts as far as the eye could see! I was just think about this earlier today. Do you have any memories like this? What kinds of foods do you remember eating? If you have recipes, please post!!

I made a one dish taco bake with mac'n cheese, ground beef, taco seasoning, salsa, and sour cream. I think I might try it with beans and maybe corn next time. It can be served on a bed of lettuce or with a salad on the side. Anyway... my family loves these types of meals. So, what are your favorite one dish meals? Recipes would be appreciated.

You know, that white gooey, yummy melted cheese. It's so good but I haven't been able to figure it out. I've tried provolone, swiss, etc... but nothing tasted quite right. What is it??

I have to answer these questions about graphs in general.. not any one particular graph.

What is the relationship between a linear equation and its graph? Why is the graph important? What does it show?

Thanks in advance for any help!

making sure that all translations fell within the laws of his kingdom... Does that make him God? Or did he think he was God-like?

We're having out-of-state guests next week and I wanted to serve some "traditional" maryland meals. Crabcakes are a given, but I can't afford seafood everynight. So are there any other traditional dishes that I could make to welcome my guests to Maryland?
