  • UK ENGLISH. Does this need an apostophe?

    ..... and then they discover their paramours names are not Ernest.

    Does the word "paramours" in the sentence above need an apostrophe? If yes please explain why.

    Does it need one because the "names" belong to the "paramours" or does the their before the paramours affect it.

  • Looking for a good chalk pastel course?

    I am looking for a good chalk pastel course and after that an oil pastel course. Often artists are not the best teachers, but there are a few that are particularly good.

    For drawing there is Betty Edwards drawing on the right side of the Brain.

    Frank Clarke for watercolours

    Mark Carder for oil painting.

    It is not that you want to produce art like them, but when you have finished their course you know how to handle the medium to produce your own art. So something that explains about paper choice, paper colours, pastel colours techniques for landscapes and portraits would be excellent

    So please point me in the direction of a book, dvd or online course that really explains how to use chalk pastels. If it is free that is even better.

    Thank you very much.

  • Do I need to modify my new barbecue?

    I have purchased a portable barbecue from Homebase for when we go camping. I have noticed that it doesn't have any holes in the base.

    I am wondering if it would be a good idea to drill some holes in the base to help it draw air when in use.

  • OCR AS level chemistry A Jan 2012 F322 question 4?

    I am doing the January 2012 paper before examination on Tuesday. I can't work out why my answer to this question is incorrect. Chains, Energy and Resources.

    Question 4,Hydrogen and chlorine are reacted together to form hydrogen chloride.H2(g) + Cl2(g) -> 2HCl(g) delta H = -184 kJ per mol.

    (a) Calculate the bond enthalpy for the H-Cl bond using the information in the table below.

    Bond bond enthalpy/kJ per mol

    H-H +436

    Cl-Cl +243

    I get the answer of 'bond enthalpy = 247.5 kJ per mol', but the mark scheme says 431.5.Any help greatly appreciated.

  • Cost and ease of fitting an extra seat in a van?

    We are travelling to Scotland from the East Midlands in June, in a Peugeot Expert van. (it has 3 front seats). However we now have a 4th person.

    How easy is it to have a 4th removable seat fitted? Would we have to have a window put in? Is this very expensive? I have had a quick look on the internet and a seat kit is about £300. I am not confident about fitting it ourselves as the floor is plylined and carpetted. Looking at the train fares it is about £300 back from Scotland for two of us.

  • How do I replace the rear bulb on a Peugoet Expert?

    The Expert is the same as the Dispatch and Scudo. I have the driver's side rear light out. The brake light and reverse light work fine. I assume it is just the bulb. I have a manual, but when I look inside at the back there is just metal and a couple of holes where I can see some wires.

    Is it easy to replace? I would rather do it myself than pay someone else to do it. I will try and upload a photo later. Thank you.

  • Watching a movie from tablet to laptop. Is it possible?

    My DD has a Android Hudl tablet. She has purchased a movie which she can watch for 48 hours. She has just asked me if she can watch it on the laptop or television.

    We have an old fat TV so don't have a HDMI port. The other option is to connect the tablet to the laptop and watch the film on the bigger laptop screen. I know the tablet can be connected to the laptop via USB port, but can we watch the movie like that.

    The laptop also has a port on the side with pins, the picture looks like a screen. Any ideas?

  • how do I assigning different ringtones to individual contacts?

    I would like to know who is calling me by ringtone. So, a ring tone for my family and a ring tone for work and a ring tone for everyone else.

    I have a Samsung Galaxy Fame. When I click on contacts from the home screen it brings up all my contacts that it has pulled in from my googlemail account. This is no use as they are all email addresses, but it appears these are the ones I can add to a group and then I could assign an individual ringtone.

    L

    When I go to phone or texts the contacts there are the ones with the telephone numbers, but there is not the option to add them to a group. These contacts have the sim card icon beside them. I wondered if I exported the contacts to my sd card if this would help. However after the export all the contacts still had the sim card icon by them.

    So how do I assign ringtones to the contacts that I ring?

  • Does "Bring him Home" from Les Miserables sound a bit like Puccini's "Humming Chorus"?

    We watched Les Miserables last night and "Bring him Home" reminded me of something else. Today when I was doing something else it came to me, it reminds me of the "Humming Chorus". Am I right?

  • Buying android app on Google Wallet for child?

    I am really hoping someone can help me with this. My child has just had a birthday and we bought them a Tesco Hudl, so they can play Minecraft.

    Minecraft cost £4.99. I am really unhappy about putting my credit card details into the Hudl. I don't want my card linked to their googlemail address.

    So how do I pay for the app? I have tried loading it on my PC, but it asks me what android I want it on and the Hudl is not listed. If I enter my Google account into the Hudl so I can download Minecraft will I then beable to remove my Google account.

    The only other way I can see to do it is to buy a gift card at £10, but I would rather not do that.

    How do I add pay for Minecraft for a different user. I can't be the first person who has thought it is not appropriate for their financial details to be on the child's tablet?

  • How do I find out what the wind speed and wind direction was today at 17 hrs?

    All the information appears to be forecasts. I would like to know what the wind direction and what the wind speed was today at a particular time. I presume it shouldn't be so difficult to find out as I believe this information is recorded at weather stations.

    Do the public have access to this information?

    How do I find this information?

    We are in the East Midlands, UK.

  • Can you use cooking apples in Raw Food recipes?

    We are trying to go more raw. I have an Excalibur dehydrator. A neighbour has a glut of cooking apples. I have not accepted them as yet, because I don't know what to do with them.

    Does a cooking apple have to be cooked?

    Would it be okay to dehydrate them as dried apple or fruit leathers?

    Any other recipes that they can be used for?

  • Is it possible to roast 2 birds with pork?

    I am preparing a roast for Christmas dinner. I was going to do a three bird roast, but the person it is for said they would actually like turkey, chicken and pork. Is it okay to put these three meats together? I am thinking it is as the roast in the supermarket do a multi bird roast with pork stuffing.

    If it is what order would you put them in? I was thinking turkey, chicken and pork in the centre, but I don't know. As this will be just for one person I was thinking a small turkey crown. Let me know if you have done anything like this yourself.
