Adopt Good

If you had a scaled down pair of helicopter blades (made out of something light, such as plastic), how many RPM would it need to lift itself along with 150 lbs? (about 150 lbs for the human, itself (lets just assume the copter was 200 lbs, so 350 lbs total), and if it had a 10 foot wing span? (So, how many RPM would 10 feet of helicopter blade-span need to lift 350 lbs).  (I know you would need to know how efficient the blades were at pushing against air, I just want to know the RPM it would need if it had an average efficiency.

I am trying to animate a line so it looks as it would if you would drawing it on a board. Ex. – You have a map displayed and you want to trace the path for directions. This would involve curves and some backtracking. How can you animate the line to show up as if you are drawing it?

I found a bottle of cheval blanc in my father’s wine cellar. The bottle is in good shape.

This is the full text:
“Chateau Cheval Blanc 1980 St. Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classe
Appelation Saint-Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classe Controlee”

What kind of value should it have?
I live in the Boston, MA area.

thanks,

Josh

Dear James,
I really hope you can help me. I am an American based in Kuwait. I recently hired an artist to draw 5 designs for greeting cards I designed and that have a Kuwait theme.

So, the cards are ready and have 1/4 packed and ready to sell.

But I am confused as to how to approach businesses. Basically, my husband has already contacted 6 businesses and dropped off a sample of the cards and a price list.

Is this a good method? What more can we do?? I really need advice. Thanks!

My husband is retiring from the navy after 26 years, and we are having the reception/party at our home after the ceremony. We have a friend cooking Ribs, and fajitas (steak and chicken) and he knows how much to cook for 125 – 150 people (Sailors). BUT, i don’t know how much other food. we are also having 15 people in our home for a week following the party so leftovers are not a problem, i am concerned about not having enough. this is what we have planned

party starts at 3pm
confirmed 93, 60 no rsvp yet ( but they are military and getting invites through the command still)
Ribs for 75
fajitas for 50 (50 each steak and chicken)
hot dogs 50
(yes its a lot of meat, but we are talking about sailors in texas)

what i need help with is the trays and salads. i have planned…
3 veggie trays, 2 cheese trays, 2 meat trays, 2 fruit trays,
potato salad and pasta salad.

HOW much cheese and meat should i be getting to make sure there is enough!!

and then the sides for the fajitas. how much tomato/salsa, lettuce, cheese, sour cream and guac should i have to make sure i do not run out!

The ribs/ fajitas will be ready to eat about 5 or 6 and most people will be at the leaving their house to head to the ceremony at 11AM and some even earlier so i have to have trays for the people  who are starving from  the actual retirement.

I hope you can help me, i would rather eat leftovers  for a few days then not have enough. again, 15 people will be living in my house eating for a week after, so leftovers from the party mean less cooking for me!

thank you so very much in advance!!!!!!!

QUESTION: Would you (most Would you (most professional Ear & Body Piercers) perform the following piercings on a six year old girl, if you had parental consent.   Two holes in the ear lobe, Industrial ear piercing, Cartilage piercing, multiple holes along the entire helix of her ear.  If not what would be the minimum age of each piercing.  ) perform the following piercings on a six year old girl, if you had parental consent.   Two holes in the ear lobe, Industrial ear piercing, Cartilage piercing, multiple holes along the entire helix of her ear.  If not what would be the minimum age of each piercing.

ANSWER: In the US, the laws are fairly strict on this, and earlobe piercing is the only oversight. No piercing is allowed for minors under any circumstances in my area, with the exception for places that only do earlobe piercing and no other kind of piercing for anyone.

I am not morally opposed to adornment for minors, but piercing does carry risk that a minor can not fully understand in some cases, nor can they sign away the liability, which will fall upon the parent as abuse and the piercer as well.

Some physicians even report parents who have children with piercings other than earlobes.

18 is the minimum age in my area, but that will vary with the regional regulations. I do not believe that piercings other than the earlobe should be done for minors under 12, and certainly no piercings that will be rejected by growth such as navel and eyebrow for under 16.

QUESTION: I basically mean Two holes in the ear lobe, Industrial ear piercing, Cartilage piercing, multiple holes along the entire helix of her ear.  I mean no piercing on any other aria.

Hello,
What do you recommend to eliminate a musty odor in my house.  It isn’t INTENSE, just a lingering musty smell especially when the house is closed up.  I have heard of using the mildew tablets they hang in boats to prevent mold and I have read about BioBreeze products to run through your house as well as air purification systems from $30 to $300 dollars.
Also…
We just bought this house a month or so ago and it had a little mold problem in the past that a company supposedly remediated.
There is still some moldiness in one corner of the basement so we’ve got a dehumidifier going strong.  What chemical do you recommend applying to it to kill it?
