I'm looking for a book giving details about actors that keep recurring in a lot of films and TV series but usually with minor roles.

Good examples of such actors are: Paul Guilfoyle (Captain Brass in CSI), Michael Kostroff (Maury Levi in The Wire), and Stephen Tobolowsky (insurance guy Ned in Groundhog Day).

What's the title of this film?

I think it's a black and white film set in Southern USA and the father head of the family is saying grace, but adds non-religious twists

e.g. We thank you Lord for this meal, although we have the sown the vegetables with our own hands, have harvested them on our own, and cooked them too.

Something like that - does this ring a bell to anybody?

How do you say in Welsh:

Children's literature is part of popular culture. What are children's books that Canadian children grow up with? Any particular Canadian titles or authors?

Hello,

3 weeks ago, my mother has switched from injecting 2x a day to 3x a day and it's very difficult for her body to accommodate.

Although her night hypoglycaemias have decreased, she is no prone to hypos 3-4x during the day! Needless to say this not only affects her body but also her emotional health (feeling insecure and isolated).

Is there anybody out there who had similar trouble with 3 injections per day?

I'd appreciate any of your comments.

In Microsoft Word, I have this sentence with "-éieren" in it. Unfortunately, because of the paragraph etc., Word breaks it up in two lines: at the end of the first line I have the hyphen, and the beginning of the second line I have "éieren", like:

Loreum ipsum dolor amit amit -

éieren lorei ipsae dolorum it.

Apart from padding out my line in order not to break up the line, is there another way to do it? Is it related to AutoFormat or to Hyphenation?

I would like to compare the size and population of Luxembourg (Europe) with an area in Canada. Is there somewhere in Canada a geographic unit (county, district, municipality) that has the same area and/or population than Luxembourg? The more famous the better I guess, but beggars can't be choosers.

Luxembourg, area: 2,586 km² / 999 square miles

Luxembourg, population: 480,000

I DON'T want a recipe, but what are the spices used in a cinnamon roll? I've tried cinnamon roll-flavoured porridge. What would be the difference with cinnamon-flavoured porridge?

Is there only cinnamon in cinnamon rolls or are there other spices like nutmeg or ginger powder?

At academic conferences after a talk/paper/presentation, what sort of good or universal questions can we ask the presenter?

Sometimes, the presenter gives a horrible paper, nobody can follow them and nobody knows what to ask them. Have you got some questions you can ask to anybody about anything?

The questions should ideally be open and lead the speaker to speak for a while.

I've made some cheese already before and it turned out nice, but today was very different and disappointing: after boiling up 500ml of milk I added citric acid mixed in some water. I used that because I had no rennet, lemons, or vinegar.

The milk did not seem to curdle at all and when I tried to sift it through a cheese cloth, the only cheese I got was almost foamy! The actual amount of cheese I now have is not even three tablespoonfulls...

What did I do wrong? I have a tendency to use a whisk and stir all the time for fear to boil the milk over and burn my pan. Did I stir too much? Or is citric acid too acid to curdle milk?

What's best to get as much cheese as possible from milk? What's the best way to get nice chunky bits?

Any comments, help and recipes welcome! Thanks.

I am interested in purcharsing the "Family Guy" video game and I would like to know whether the Xbox game will be backwards compatible on my Xbox 360. Does anybody know?

Ever since I've bought my crocs I have been very satisfied with the comfiness of those rubbery shoes. Unfortunately the shoes have now lost their original shine and I would like some tips on how to restore their shine.

YES, I know there is Crocsbutter, but are there any alternatives? Even homemade recipes?

My partner and I want to play more co-operative games on our video consoles - do you know any good co-operative games for Playstation 2, Xbox, or Xbox 360?

We live in the UK, so please only suggest PAL games, thanks.

One feature found in German, Pensylvania German, and also Luxembourgish is this use of double participles:

Ich habe ein Buch gelesen gehabt.

I have had read a book.

According to Standard German grammar, this is incorrect. And yet, you can find examples of this use of participles in search engines.

What the linguistic name for this? I think it's called "double participe passé" in French? Does Spanish have it?

I'm using a UK-English keyboard, and although I use more or less all the characters on it, I have no idea why the character below is for.

¬

What is this character? What does it mean? Where is it used? Is it a hidden conspiracy? Has it any Masonic meanings? Would Dan Brown write a book on it? Or is it one of those characters that only five PHP programers in the world actually use?

What does ¬ mean?

I have been brought up as a Roman Catholic, and although I have still kept my faith in G_d, I do not think that one single religion is the answer to our world's problems.

How come there are so many weird and loopy Christians out there? Why do Christians seem to be so adamant to have their say on gay and lesbian issues for instance if all they can answer is "Burn in hell" or "Homosexuality is Satan" or "Jesus will help us all".

Not a single day passes by and Christians need to convert non-Christians and non-Interested to Christianity? Why?! You don't read Yahoo Answers and people of other faiths ruining perfectly good questions! So far, no Buddhist, no Jew, or no Muslim has told me what to do. Atheists haven't warned me to stop believing in something spiritual.

This questions has been categorised into "Religion & Spirituality", I would however advise Christians not to proselitise me or other answerers and see that "Religion & Spirituality" includes ALL faiths and believes.

When I went to Japan a few years ago I was drinking a lot of bottled green tea, which did not contain any sugar or sweeteners. It tasted a bit bitter, but it was delicious in the summer.

I'm now living in the UK and everytime I go to an Asian supermarket I can only find bottled green tea with added sugar and sweetened in one way or another.

Why is that? Is all bottled Chinese tea sweetened? Are there no brands sold that sell unsweetened tea?

Watch the TV clip with those two Korean girls performing karaoke. What song are they singing? It doesn't matter whether you know the English title/translation or not. Who is the artist of the original song? What's the song called? What's the album called? From which year?

You don't need to use Latin characters. Hangul is fine too.

Visit Yesasia.com if that could help you....

I need a statistics software for my PhD in linguistics. It should be:

- completely free

- user-friendly

- downloadable

- preferably explaining stuff too

Who can recommend a software which they have used.

I can search for free software on the Internet myself. I need a genuine answer from users/students.

I would like to research smileys or emoticons, but whenever I use a search engine to look up ":-)" or ":-(" for instance, the search engine does not show up any results at all. I suppose it's because an emoticon is not a standard word or letter combination, but how can I overcome that?

I want to find out how many ":-)" there are on the net...
