3 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs7 years ago2000 Durango, has terrible spark knock even at idle speed. Is there a sensor which controls the timing?
The condition began after a short trip to home. We removed the belt from the pulleys, and the knock is still there. We also thought there was a rod bearing gone bad but that isn't the problem either. We're desperate!

6 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs8 years agorusset potatoes, too small about golf ball size.?
This year harvest of potatoes central Illinois. What causes this to happen? These were seed potatoes bought from a dealer in the spring. I sprayed "miracle Grow" water mixed fertilizer on these did that cause it? The garden soil is a lot of black loam and a lot of limestone gravel bits. What is a good remedy? The other plants such as corn have done well, even onions! Somebody mentioned the spray caused the roots to stop while the upper parts of plants grew, is that possible?

1 AnswerJeep8 years agoI have the 1999 jeep Grand Cherokee and the rear glass and gate will not open. They seem to be locked.?
There is no key lock on the gate lid. I received one answer and undoubtedly they thought the gate had a key lock, this doesn't! Everything is electric even the seats and windows, doors, and me too! What ca I do besides take it to a repair shop, I can't afford the cost. Mechanically I can do well, i just need some ideas.
2 AnswersJeep9 years ago1999 grand cherokee jeep?
The rear gate is electric lock controlled and the rear glass is too. The problem is, neither will open, just like they are locked. How can I get these to open, and what causes this to happen? This is the third time for this to happen, I don't have a book to rely on for help.
1 AnswerJeep9 years agoRecently I asked for information about genes being passed onto the offspring at 50% from each parent.?
The answer I received was more confusing than what I need. maybe I didn't state the reason for asking. According to our human biology we get 50% of our genes from each parent, Adam the first in creation received what in genes? Don't throw in any of the stuff about God and his powers these "do not" answer the question! Then about Jesus, he was given genes from his mother, where is the other 50%? I'm not an atheist or any religion, I'm just human with a God given amount of curiosity. Debates are for the politicians, as you might see I respect totally other person's opinions for there may be something to learn from those.
2 AnswersBiology9 years agoWithin studies of human biology, we obtain 50% of the genes from each parent.?
The first humans on earth would be given 50% of their parent, but in this case did Adam receive any genes from God? Mary was Jesus' mother she gave him 50% of her genes then where is the other 50% like in Adams' creation? Although the bible states Jesus came without a earthly father then Jesus would have only genes from his mother. What a puzzle! Adam came without genes from either side according to the bible now that is a contradiction to biology!
3 AnswersBiology9 years agoif we came from monkeys according to evolution then why did the modification stop?
The world of intellects seem to be a bit closed-minded, after all isn't thinking non-physical? I write articles on both perspectives, spiritual and physical and yet some folks always build a wall when speaking of a spiritual aspect. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

1 AnswerWords & Wordplay9 years agoI'm writing an article about Charles Darwin and the theory of Decent with Modification.?
There is a lot of confusion in the studies I'm finding. I was also told that Darwin did not develop the theory of evolution and this I learned in college biology. Do you have information on these perspectives?
3 AnswersDarwin9 years agoAre all the countries in the world at a recession like the U.S.A.?
The fashion our media is doing keeps us into thinking we are the country with recession. There is a logical reason for recession and it sure doesn't take a scientist to find an answer. Why hasn't these problems been addressed?
3 AnswersEconomics9 years agoSweet corn with tassels but no ears what is the problem?
I planted this in early March and all the veggies are doing fine except the sweet corn, most have tassels and some do not. The ground is old grass land and partially an old gravel parking lot. I used a popular water mixed fertilizer which has worked wonders on the other veggies, except the "corn ears!"
5 AnswersGarden & Landscape9 years agoWhere does the Surname of Smith come from?
Genealogy time,,the surname of Smith what place on earth did this originate? My Grandfathers going back, great, great, great, great, were all blacksmith's by trade, would these have any significance in the metal smith's trades in biblical times around Jesus Christ's time on earth? Or even before?
8 AnswersGenealogy9 years agoI'm in West Centraql Illinois and going to set aside potatoes to allow eyes to grow.?
How long should I set these aside in a dark warn area to develop eyes, for instance the current time is middle of January and deciding to plant in late March. Should these spuds be quartered for planting when ready or halved. Also what are the varieties of spuds to grow which you can have two planting seasons?
