Jack of all trades, master of some. Former gear head (when we tweaked horsepower, not neon lights), former carpenter, novice electrician, former stereo-phile, current home theater junkie, computer professional for a living, motorcyclist for 22 years (still fast, still furious). There aren't too many countries or states I haven't been to, alcohols I haven't tried, things I haven't done. Living life now with lots of great memories and damn few regrets - the largest of which is letting some really great friendships slip through time.
Where can I find rankings for Denver area school systems?
Thinking about moving there, and need to know which school systems are tops.
1 AnswerOther - Education1 decade agoWhat was the name of the News Anchor who lost her job after being caught on video in Cancun?
I seem to recall this like a year or two ago. She lost her job when a sexy video of her partying in Cancun at Spring Break showed up on the internet. I was arguing that there are consequences to your actions when discussing the Miss Nevada case, but I couldn't remember the details on the News Anchor case. I think she maybe was a weather forcaster?
2 AnswersCelebrities1 decade agoCan you upgrade a USB 1.0 physical port to 2.0 with drivers, or do you have to buy new hardware?
I have an older Compaq Presario (about 3 years old). It has a Pentium 4 processor, and was pretty state of the art at the time. I have installed a dual layer DVD burner, faster hard drive, and more - with no problems. But, I recently added an external USB hard drive and it is DOG slow. I have 2 ports in the front, and 2 in an expansion card in the back. All are 1.0. Can I upgrade any or all of them, or do I need to buy another expansion card?

6 AnswersAdd-ons1 decade agoFertilizer for Fall, and filling in the bare spots?
I had a landscaping company come in and rip out my lawn, and re seed the whole thing (BTW - Thanks Chemlawn for killing it). Some spots either the birds got all the seeds, and nothing is there, other places are patchy and light, and weeds filled in during the summer.
Going into Fall, what should I put down to help prevent the weeds from coming back in Spring, help the grass that did take get fertilized, and can I fill in the bare spots with new seed now, or should I wait till Spring. I live in a snow belt in the Great Lakes region.
3 AnswersGarden & Landscape1 decade agoAre you supposed to prune in Fall or Spring?
I have a couple of Maple trees with branches interfering with my deck. I want to prune them back, but I can't remember if you do it in Fall or Spring, and if Fall - is it late or early in the season? I live in the Great Lakes region and the leaves are just now turning.
13 AnswersGarden & Landscape1 decade agoDo you think it is an imperative that the next president focus on mending foreign relationships?
Bush has alientated the US from so many countries. He backed out of the Tokyo accord, started the Iraq war, and hosted secret CIA prisons in other countries. To us, Iran and North Korea pose significant nuclear threats, but we are unable to rally former allies to our cause because Bush has scared so many of them with his hard line, shoot first, policies.
Will building bridges and mending fences be key to re-stabilizing these regions and re-gaining foreign trust, or do you believe there are other more important priorities for the next president?
9 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoLooking for the name of a song or the artist that sings it - funky creole sound from about a year ago?
Was down South about a year ago and heard this funky hip-hop creole song (only way I can describe it). Heard it twice on top 40 station down in Texas, then haven't heard it since. Only way I can describe the sound was something along a folksy creole song with a hip-hop backbeat (the backbeat was very much like Jamie Fox's refrain in the "Gold Digger" track). Imagine you smashed that with the remix version of "Cotton-Eyed Joe" and you would come close. If anyone has a guess at this, please send a link to where I can find a sample. I think this is a tough one, but I know someone out there can probably pick this out in a heartbeat.
