4 AnswersOther - Electronics1 decade agoHow much do you need to eat in order to jump start your metabolism in the morning?
I know they say breakfast is important because it starts your metabolism, but how much do you actually need to eat. Will drinking water or juice or milk start your metabolism or do you have to actually eat something? If you just eat a couple grapes? Is it based on calories or am I not thinking about the whole process correctly?

A friend gave me a DVD of my kids' teams' games. I wanted to edit it a bit--add some music, some titles, and cut some slow parts. But when I try to burn a new DVD with the file the quality is horrible. Looks fine as a tiny video but unwatchable on a TV. What am I doing wrong?

1 AnswerSoftware1 decade agoLooking for title of epic poem - Knight gets into Princess' school by dressing like woman - Old book!?
I read this book years ago and I don't remember the title.
I don't remember the details extremely well but I believe a Princess leaves home and starts a school for women where they discuss philosophy and science. Several men have been sent by her father to bring her back home but her guards protect the school. One man gets inside by dressing as a woman and saying he wants to join the school, and I believe there is a war on the outside and the princess comes to love the man after he's discovered. Again, all written as a poem, and I think the princess has big cats as pets :x Any help?
1 AnswerBooks & Authors1 decade agoSound isn't working in Firefox? Plugins are installed, volume is up, why doesn't it work??
I'm not getting any sound through Firefox. Music files won't play, videos are silent.

4 AnswersCleaning & Laundry1 decade agoHotel Etiquette? Is it ok to ask for a different room if you find something dissatisfying?
Is it ok to ask for a different room if you find something dissatisfying? Window facing a wall? Very dirty? etc. Should you really tip the maid?

How late do you have to be for it to be required that you call so your room is saved (2 hrs late? 5 hrs?)? Any other tips (or websites you can find) on hotel etiquette would be appreciated? (I'll be travelling in the UK)

I'm going to England, and got an adapter to use my hair straightener and dryer, but the adapter says it only accepts wattages up to 1600. But every hair dryer I've seen is 1875 watts. Do I need to buy an adapter for higher wattages or is it better to search for a dryer with a lower wattage (do they work as well?)?

1 AnswerAstronomy & Space1 decade agoBritRail Pass: Does it actually pay for your fare? or is it only reduced fare? Are there other charges?
I've been getting conflicting info about this. The BritRail pass is $265 for 8 days for Youth--Does this actually pay for your entire fare for every train journey you take during this time period? Are there other fees you have to pay? Can you use this pass for sleeper car tickets and such as well or is it limited? I couldn't find the answers via the website--I'd appreciate any help! Thanks
There are also other options such as the "Young Person's Rail Card" which give you 1/3 off train fare. Is this a better deal?
