  • How do purple smoke trees tolerate wind?

    I live in a very windy area and just got a new purple smoke tree. Our house gets fierce winds on the south side, but is pretty well protected on the north. Is this tree able to withstand winds or should I plant it on the north? *if anyone has any ideas of what a good tree would be for a wind break in zones 4-5, I'd appreciate any*

  • I'm having a problem with itunes. Can someone help me out?

    I have been trying to put a new CD I bought on my computer but instead of itunes putting the album into a single list, it is splitting all the songs up (taking up a lot more room) as well as making it so that only one of the songs gets the artwork. How can I make it so that all of the songs are put back in one album list?

    I only want to have ONE album cover in my itunes library. I have a HP pavillion dv6 and I can't find the "part of a compilation" tab in my preferences, and it didn't work when I use the "file < get info" control. Any other suggestions?

  • Is this a safe website to download music?

    I have been searching all over for a song called 1001 nights by crazy frog and have not been able to find it. I finally found it at mp3bear.com and I want to know if it is a safe website to download. If it's not, please recommend where I can get the song, without having to buy the whole album or spending too much on it.

  • Can Someone give me some good websites?ld you like to ask?

    I am doing a research paper on the sex scandal of the catholic church and I need to answer a few questions. A few of the questions I need answered is -

    what occurred in the past involving sexual abuse? (I have found some pretty good material for this already but anything is good) What did the Church leaders do (or not do) when the problem was becoming known? and What has been the ramifications to the church because of this scandal?

    It is mostly the last two questions I need to find references for and I would prefer some .gov or .edu sites.

    Thanks!

  • Is there such a thing!!?

    Ok, I am going to lose my job in a few weeks and really need to find a way to make some good, honest money but cant find anyone that is hiring. My question is... is there such a thing as a FREE website that will pay me to do surveys or whatever without making me sign up for every other site on the web!?

    I'd really appreciate it if those who have ACTUALLY tried a website would give me their opinion.

    Thanks.

  • can someone give me an idea for a sixteenth birthday?

    I know two girls that are turning sixteen a day apart but they are going to be at a girls only camp so I am trying to think of something to do for both of them that would involve all the girls in a fun way and not make either of the birthday girls regret coming to camp on their birthdays. I don't want a party idea really, maybe something like a mysterious ritual in the middle of the night. I want it to be something memorable for them both. Does anyone have any good ideas?
