I recently purchased an old wood coffee table from a yard sale. It seems to be in pretty good condition, except that there appears to be some old dirt/food caked on it. I'd like to be able to restore it to a nice glossy finish, but I'm not sure what cleaning products to use on it. Any help would be appreciated!

Does the sugar in a muffin rise towards the top during baking?

There have been plenty of people who have started a successful music career at a later age. Also, I would think that older contestants would be able to emote songs better, in general. There's nothing more frustrating than a young contestant singing a sad, lamenting song with a big smile and bouncing around the stage.

I was just wondering, has American Idol ever given a reason for this age limit?

If you could press a magic button which would bring them back to life, and at the same time end yours, would you do it?

Who would it be? And why?

If I'm playing my stereo, and I place an empty can on top of one of my speakers, it'll only rattle during certain parts of certain songs. Is this due to the wavelength of the sound being played? And if so, what exactly causes this to happen? (Scientifically speaking, of course).

I want to make WinAmp my default player on my computer, but right now Windows Media Player seems to be the default. How can I change this? Through the Control Panel?

By the way, I'm using Windows XP.

Only over the counter suggestions, please. And, if you don't mind, a brief explanation as to why the product is better than the others. Thanks!

What does "the late" mean, and where does it come from?

Here's the problem: About every other day, my computer will suddenly turn off while I'm using it. It's like someone simply pulled the plug on it. After this happens, I need to let it sit for at least 15 minutes before unplugging it and plugging it back in. After restarting, it sometimes will go back off after 20-30 minutes, while other times it will stay on for a few days or so before shutting off. Does this sound like a power supply problem? Note: I've already tried changing power cords, with no change in the problem.

Additionally, how long does an active volcano need to stay inactive before being reclassified as "dormant"?

And if so, why?

I live in MD, but I'm applying for a job in PA which requires a CDL license. Should I apply for a CDL in MD or should I go to PA to apply?

Also, can someone describe the requirements and/or knowledge needed for the test? Thanks!

I have an old HP 503n. When I first bought this computer, any time I adjusted the volume, it would give me an on-screen display, such as this:

VOL: IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

A long time ago, it disappeared, and hasn't shown an on-screen volume since. Does anyone know how to get this feature back?

It's from the mid 1990s. Never really figured out what the song was about. Anybody have any idea?

I'm making beef stroganoff in my crockpot. I want to add a bit of a twist to it. I was thinking of adding a couple of teaspoons of Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard to the mix. Do you think that would taste good? Or should I just forget that whole idea?

Asking serious cooks here.

It seems like that's how many of our ancestors got their water. With all of the contaminants that may be present in the water (decaying life, fecal matter from aquatic life, mud, etc), it doesn't seem very healthy to drink.

Anyone got any input about this?

They had a pretty unique sound back in the 80s, and Terri was pretty hot. Just wondering what she's doing these days. Anyone know?

Can anyone provide a link of what she's doing now - recent pics perhaps? She was pretty hot back in the day, and had a decent voice. I'm just wondering whatever happened to her.

Are they used to compare averages of a particular season against previous seasons?
