I've tried using a few free translation sites, but I am not satisfied with the conflicting responses they are giving me.

What would the proper English to Latin translation be for "Helpers of the Helpless" and "Protectors of the Protectors"? Thank you in advance!

In GTA IV you could use some cheat codes and still get most of the achievements.. does the same hold true for the Lost and the Damned? Or will it block any of the DLC achievements?

I am restoring my iPod Nano to its facory settings. I have had the status screen on my computer for over 2 hours saying "restoring my iPod" . Does it usually take this long to restore an iPod? I only had 18 songs on it and nothing else.

The apple website says it is critical I do not disconnect the iPod during this process. But I'm seriously considering ending the cycle and trying something else.

This all started when I tried deleting songs from iTunes and my iPod, but they would not come off the iPod. You would think deleting songs from an iPod was easy..... apparently not for me. Help!

I know it's lengthy but I would appreciate any feedback on what you think of the system overall. I loathe getting a Gateway, and I'm wary of Vista as I've never used it... Anything you can share (good or bad) based on the listed specs would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, so I can't even get all the specs on the page.... Here is the site that has the rest of the specs....

I use herbs frequently in cooking, but many I use sporadically.

Generally speaking, how long will a dry herb stay good in a dark cupboard in a glass container? These are not freshly cut herbs, just your standard store bought herbs like McCormick.
