Making yeast sticky buns for the staff tomorrow. Better torise once and refrigerate before baking tomorrow or to rise then par bake for a few minutes? Help please.

I have a 1999 Subaru outback with some pretty expensive damage to the passenger side door. I lowered the price to sell it, but received some pretty outrageous offers. I don't know if my price is unreasonable, or if the offer was just low balling.

Am planning on going on to the strip in Las Vegas tomorrow and would like to see a bit of the CES spectacle. What can you see and do and where should you go, if you don't actually go into the convention center? Thanks!

Have you successfully stopped yelling at your children?
I hate myself for yelling. I am in therapy, and I'm a self-reflective person. I'm also very stressed at work, a single parent, and often overwhelmed, without a real support system. My ex-husband went back to his native Iran, re-married a local woman and does not contribute financially any more. That's another story, but the point is I don't have a lot of help. I am in therapy and work on my parenting and my deeper reasons for being frustrated, all the time. I vow to stop yelling. And then I yell again.

Please help me find a way to listen to my music remotely. Do you know of any media-player software that can access files stored on a different server requiring user authentication? Double bonus points if it's open source.

I've never been a beer person, but a friend recently introduced me to a Belgian brew called Kwak, and I'm a fan. Unfortunately, few bars have Kwak on tap. Can any of you beer connoisseurs out there recommend similar beers - sweet and high in alcohol content? I'm generally not big on dark lagers or stouts.

Apartment rental company claims we broke our lease and charged us a not-insignificant fine ($1200) but they never notified us of this. They sent our account to a collections agency. However, their claim is incorrect in the first place -- according to the contract, we don't owe them anything. How should we proceed? There are a number of important details.

Won a large judgment against scumbag landlords in small claims, who refuse to pay the judgment. Placed liens on their property, had the Sheriff levy their bank account, but there was nothing in it. Nothing has worked. What can we do to get our money back short of going through the long expensive process of repossessing their property?

I'm looking to replace my iPod (and its ecosystem) with an Android-based phone plus whatever necessary additional components. I like the easy integration of my iPod with iTunes and the iTunes store, but I'd like to move to an Android phone and use that as my music player. Can I build a similar ecosystem (with e.g. an Android phone, Windows Media Player on my laptop, and some song store that integrates with WMP) that provides similar ease of use after initial setup? And if so, what are the recommended replacements for iTunes and the iTunes store? Thanks!

I am working towards developing an energy education for local schools in Northern California. Does anybody have any helpful resources or places I should look?
Unfortunately, I don't have anything to narrow the search as this could encompass anything from k-12. Resources can include curriculum, print outs, science kits (within a reasonable budget), competitions, etc... Pretty much anything that would get kids interested in renewable energy and energy efficiency.
Any and all help would be appreciated!

My girlfriend and I are planning a back country loop in Yosemite National Park mid to late May. How great is the risk of theft if we hike in to Little Yosemite Valley camp early and leave pretty much everything in our tent for the day while we summit Half Dome? (Personal recommendations for the park also accepted – check after the jump.)
