About The_MoUsY_spell_checker

I first signed up because I saw really simple computer questions with no answers, and I just had to answer them. Today, my column still has more answers to questions about computers than anything else, but feel free to ask about anything. I can follow up on questions too.

I have been the featured columnist on 16 October 2005, 01 May 2006, 18 December 2007, 12 July 2008, 02 February 2009, 08 March 2009, 24 May 2009, 29 September 2009, 12 November 2009, 05 January 2010, 06 January 2010, and 26 April 2010.

Ok, im a 13/f and I cant stop reading this book, and i'm already almost finished. Does anyone know the sequel to the book called

The Wereling Wounded

If you know, I'll rate 5's, thank's much!

The Wereling: Prey and The Wereling: Resurrection.

You could've found that if you search on Google or Amazon.

how can i convert an itunes file (i recorded a song i wrote onto GarageBand on my Mac, and then put it on iTunes) to mp3 so i can upload it to Purevolume?
please help! I'll rate 5's! (please!)
thanks!
sockrocker

The only thing I can find on download.com for Macs is Recorder.xhead 4.0. The main problem is that it's not free, and the trial version has a 30 second limit. Quintessential Player with the m4a plugin can be used to convert iTunes files to mp3, but it's only for Windows. I can do that for you if you send me the file. (use yousendit.com and give me the link)

It's not your computer. It was caused by someone who didn't close a bold tag in their question.

You can use a marquee effect and change the transparency level so that the picture shows through, or you can choose "color" in the options.

Okay, I have TRIED googling this, but I can't find a damn thing.

Does anyone know a song with the lyrics "and now you're bleeding, staring at the ceiling, watching it fade away" . I'm sure that isn't correct, but still, i think it's about right.
I can't find what song or artist this could possibly be. I heard it on a local rock station a long while ago, so it's a rock song.

Thanks in advance!

Because Of You by Nickelback.

I found that on Google too.

i want a flat stomich...i know to exercize and stuff. But about how many caleries do i stick to eat day?

It depends how much you weigh and how much exercise you do. You can estimate many calories you need with the tools on http://toneteen.com/pages/tools.htm. Make sure that you don't cut your calorie intake by too much at once, because that might cause your metabolism to slow down.

i'm trying to make a pic like this with all the swirls and stuff but i cant figure out how...do you need like a certain program..or can you just do it with paint? will rate 5s for anything
thanx

Making that in Paint might be possible but it'd be quite difficult. Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop would work well, but these cost a lot. You can get the GIMP at http://www.gimp.org for free, and it just about everything that Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop has.

Calling ANYONE good with fashion. I know my fashion stuff, I just get nervous and overwhelmed as my first day gets closer. Well I don't really know what should be better as far as an outfit goes, my first day, or 2nd day which is picture day. Also, I'm going to try and coordinate outfits for the first week, but I don't even know where to begin! I mean, I love all my new clothes but I just can't decide on one thing. HELP! Big time... how do I get myself to pick between skirts, jeans, fitted sweatpants ... etc! That and at 6 A.M. when I wake up I'm FREEZING, and by the end of the day sweating to death because it's so hot.... will rate...

Wear a jacket if it's cold in the morning and hot in the afternoon. If it's really cold in the morning it might be best that you wear pants.

If you're having a picture day, choose solid coloured clothes. In a small picture, complicated and loud patterns don't usually look that good.

i'm 14/f and i'm 5'2 in height. i started my period when i was 10 and i want to increase my height by doing whatever it is i can. i slouch and it's hard for me to do anything with my back straight. i've been slouching since i was pretty young so i think thats why i haven't been growing that much. what are some things i can do to help myself grow? i want to be atleast 5'4 or 5'5 before i stop growing altogether. thanks.

Make sure you eat well. It's important to get enough protein. Milk is good unless you're lactose intolerant. Avoid junk food, since they don't contain a lot of nutrients. Play basketball. It might help, the jumping is supposed to help you grow taller. Getting enough sleep is also important.

You can find that on Google.

which substance abosorbs ice/water the best and fastest? like on roads durring winter! out of sugar, sand, salt, and calcium chloride? im doing a school project..thanks ♥

I haven't tried it myself, but I don't think that sand would be very effective because it's insoluble, so what difference would it make?

Salt, sugar, and calcium chloride should all work.

I think you shouldn't use sugar because it'll attract ants. Also, sugar won't help melt ice the way salt and calcium chloride will.

Calcium chloride is supposed to be a good deliquescent (it absorbs a lot of water), and it should also lower the melting point of ice the way salt does.

Salt also absorbs water, but probably not as much as calcium chloride. It's commonly used because it would be easier to get salt than to get calcium chloride.

Overall, I would say that calcium chloride is the best, followed by salt, then sugar, then sand.

Today my mom told me to clean the house and that means clean the everyroom. SO i went to clean the bathroom and i cleaned the shower sink and when i went to clean the toleit surprise surprise. There was a meduim sized brown (like a brownie colord) stinky poopie floating on the top of the water. I hit the flushed but it wouldnt work. HOW DO I GET THE DOO DOO OUT??? (oh yea i cant ask my parents there not home...there out together *wink*wink*)!!!
from: PoopiePladder
P.S. it wasnt me!

If your toilet doesn't flush properly, you probably need to get a plumber to fix it. In the mean time, pour a bucket of water in the toilet, that should be enough to flush the poo down the toilet. You need to get all the water in quickly, but be careful not to pour the water in from too high up, or it might splash out.

well my ipod freezes consintly.. while im going though songs. and maybe about 1ce a month it wont let my go though "menu"and so i have to press the arrows and it freezes! what is wrong with my ipod?

What kind of iPod do you have? I have an iPod Shuffle and this happens too.

It might help to have the latest version of the software (download from http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/).

Also try deleting everything from your iPod and adding them back from your computer. (Obviously you should make sure that you have a copy of all your songs on your computer before you delete anything)

i'm a straight A student. but my grades are always in the mid 90 range. wat are some ways to help me get 100 instead of just 95s. there always seem to be a small detail or something that causes me to lose a few points and be second.

If you don't already do a lot of past papers, do more of them. You might know your work well, but to do well in exams you need to know the exam format well. Of course, getting past papers might not be so easy depending on where you are and what year you're in.

I was wondering if you could put streamed music from www.cdzinc.com onto a cd burner.If not is there a website where i can download music for free?Also I need a program to burn cds for free.(My uncle just gave me the cd burner and not the program.)

You can burn music with Windows Media Player. You can also use other music players like iTunes or RealPlayer. Also, if you explore an empty CD in Windows Explorer and copy something there, it should give you the option to burn the file to the CD. If you use Windows Explorer, make sure that the files are in CD format (.cda, or .m4a for mp3 CDs) before you burn them to the CD.

You can record the streamed music from cdzinc.com with All2Wav Recorder (you can download that from http://www.naturpic.com/all2wav) and burn the recorded music to a CD.

So I was babysitting, and the kids had this digital camera that was a couple square inches big. like as wide as a pen cap. I've looked all over for this teensy camera, and have had no luck finding it. It was less than 100 bucks!!

thanks so much!

amy

Is this small enough?

for some reason,i forget to eat and drink during the day. i have no earges doing the day, dont jump to conculsions i still eat and drink just not enough. somtimes i find myself at night remembering that i havent ate or drank. and i actully have to try to drink. is there anything wrong with me or am i just worrying for nothing.

I suggest that you go see a doctor if you're worried. Of course, may be it's really just that you forget, but if you're not hungry at all it could be a hormonal problem or something like that.
