Full English breakfast, hold the spam.

eschatfische — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 07:41:36 -0800

Where can I get a full English breakfast in San Francisco? To clarify, I'm not looking for an American breakfast that just comes with a side of beans -- I can make that at home. I'm looking for the full breakfast, with fried bread, tomato, the works. Thanks!

Seeking image which illustrates the point, you need the full picture before deciding.

therubettes — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 07:16:35 -0800

Can you help me to find an image or series of images which when revealed section by section or one by one suggest different things about a single situation? Like the old UK show Catchphrase I need an image which is initially covered and split into say 4 or 6 pieces. Each section is revealed bit by bit. Each reveal throws some new light on the situtation. It is not until the final section is revealed that the whole thing makes sense. I hope the question has made sense. It is for a powerpoint presentation. I just need a single image, nothing offensive, or too grave either thanks. Perhaps it will be a series of images of the same thing each giving more information that the last.

Basically the point I am trying to illustrate is you need to have the full picture before making a decision. Part of the picture is no use!

Thanks in advance. Not sure about the category put it into computers and internet!

Santa Monica College or Full Sail?

RocknRollJunkie — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:04:46 -0800

Should I go to Santa Monica College? I am currently a sophomore at Arizona State University, majoring in pre-film production, which means I have to take a few film studies courses before I can apply to the to program in the fall. Because the film program is new, I have my doubts about it, and I'd also like to go somewhere that's not soo hot during the summer. I really wish I had heard about SMC when I was in high school because I would love to do film at either UCLA or USC and I heard that SMC has the highest UC transfer rate. However, I heard SMC doesn't offer film production, just film studies. Should I still consider going to SMC in the fall, hopefully obtain residency and then transfer to UCLA/USC to do film production? The thing is I don't want to be working on my bachelor's for-ev-er because I am also planning on going to grad school. I would like to spend no more than 5 1/2 yrs on my bachelors (I started august 06).

I am also considering a school in Florida called Full Sail, it's a technical school not a lot of people have heard of, but it has a good rep. Their film program is in the top 5 in the nation. If I go there, I would be done with my bachelors in 2010 (but I would still want to go to grad school at either USC/UCLA/NYU). However, tuition would cost me $70,000 no joke! And it doesn't have that typical college atmosphere--I'd also be in school 21 months straight, with little time for a job or fun activities.

So, what should I do? Stay at asu and finish my bachelors in film as soon as may 2011 considering I dont take another semester off, transfer to SMC and get an assoc in film studies and hopefully tranfser, or go to Full Sail and devote my life to school for 21 months?

Bar exam study schedule for a working, neurotic undisciplined student

notjustfoxybrown — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 08:50:21 -0800

Please help me design a bar exam study schedule for a working person. I have started going over outlines and have done a couple sets of MBEs. I know it's early but I need to get started.

Here are the specifics:
1. Arizona's state bar portion is 12 essays. No MPT's or multiple choice.
2. There is, of course, the MBE (state portion is weighted 2/3, MBE is 1/3 of the score).
3. I work from 8 to 4:30 every day, no overtime... Very straightforward work day ... I work less than 2 miles from where I live and the library is en route between home and work.
4. I have a tutor who will be working on essays with me.
5. I have PMBR CDs and question books, BARBRI outlines, old Arizona bar exams with model essay answers and outlines from my tutor.
6. My metabolism (and psyche) require that I workout 3-4 times a week....The plan is to do that at the lame but convenient workout room at the job. Walking to and from work will be kind of an option for about the next month or so. After that, it will be too damn hot... and right now, all the construction near my home makes it unpleasant at best and dangerous at most.
7. I have the discipline level of a five-year-old. (My apologies to the 5-year-olds.)

Anyone have a schedule idea in mind?

And finally, the test is in July so after that, the green won't have to endure any more questions from me about this motherf$#%@! test.

Thank you.

Any online sources of full resolution videos of the Democratic debates?

ranchocalamari — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 13:02:04 -0800

I'm gonna try to cut together a little political viral video and would love to get my hands on high quality video of the recent democratic debates. Does anyone know of a source on the net to download full resolution (720x480) quicktimes of the debates, or has anyone out there taped or tivo'ed the debates in the greater Los Angeles area who would let me either copy/borrow what you recorded? Thanks ahead of time for your help.

From black to white via every colour inbetween, full screen.

handee — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 08:48:51 -0800

I want to generate a full-screen traversal of the entirety of RGB colour space. This is to be played back on a Windows computer. The display machine is Windows. It has Firefox, IE, and the Microsoft office suite. It has Quicktime, but not Quicktime Pro. I do not have administrator rights on this machine, but could probably arrange to have free software installed on it. Pay software is out.

The tools I have at my disposal are: Linux computers with complete ImageMagick tools, reasonable programming skills, and libraries which can create Quicktime movies.

So far I have tried: Generating a series of one pixel bitmap images and converting to gif using convert and then using Firefox to show this gif expanded to fill most of the screen. This is OK but the indexing of the gif means that I run out of colours fairly fast. I have generated a quicktime movie which has the characteristics I want, but Quicktime needs to be upgraded to Pro to allow full screen viewing.

Is there some scripting language that I could use within PowerPoint? Some windows tool I don't know about? Or is there a way to do this in JavaScript?

Hi-Res Image Need of Specific Dawes Rolls Page

vanoakenfold — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 12:45:33 -0800

Need High-Res image of one particular Dawes Roll page. I have a low-res image, but I can't read some of the words. Longish story within. The story goes that my grandmother was left at the doorstop of a family friend as an infant, like in the classic cartoons. The adopting family knew the parents well, and a note said they would return for her, but never did. The family that took her in eventually adopted her, and was fairly certain her parents were full-blood Native American. So began our quest to see if we could find the parents' names on the Dawes Rolls, the crudely made Census of made of Natives. We knew their names and approximate locations at certain times, but could uncover no actual proof (documentation) that they actually existed except merely by recollection of repeated stories.

Alas, we found them on the Dawes Rolls, but all we have is a fairly low-res, pixelated image of the actual page with a b/w computer printing job. Can anyone find me a more clear image of this particular page? The following are the known details of it that we can make out.

15th Census of the United States: 1930
Sheet No. 10A
Pyote City, Texas
Ward County, Precinct 4
(Enumberation?) District 238-6
Supervisor's Number 16

First two entries are for "Ragsdale, Thurmon" and "---------, Gladys" (assuming the dashed line is the same as repeat-quotes). Thurmon listed as "brother" and occupation "engineer" and something about a "gasoline pump".

Thanks for your help!

Gmail almost full

signal — Wed, 03 May 2006 19:45:52 -0800

You are currently using 2657 MB (98%) of your 2720 MB. My Gmail account is reaching its limit. There doesn't seem to be a way to sort by size. What's the smartest way to weed out the larger attachments? I'm not averse to using a gmail application or programming API, but which do you recomend?

How do I scan a full color business card to maintain the colors

aisleofview — Sat, 29 Apr 2006 03:41:16 -0800

I've recently been given the task of scanning full color business cards to recreate them with changes. What is the best way to scan the cards to maintain the color of the cards. These cards are to be reprinted and have to be saved in CMYK mode and they should ideally be as sharp as the original. I have no way of getting the original artwork

How Do I Empty Powerbook Trash?

Transferring all messages from one Gmail account to another.

PurplePorpoise — Thu, 24 Feb 2005 19:07:19 -0800

Is there a, preferably automated, way of transfering all messages & attachments from one gmail account to another? My co-supervisor, the primogenitor of mine and my friends' Gmail accounts, and an overall nice guy get a gig of mail every few months. He would like to have his current address be the 'hot' address and transfer all his old messages currently sitting in his Gmail account into another Gmail account.

Is there a way to do this while maintaining the tags and conversation threads?

If he downloads all of his messages via pop3, is there a way to upload them all to another gmail account such that the tags/conversation threads are preserved?

Wanted: full sized bed rails

getupandgo — Sun, 16 Jan 2005 12:56:08 -0800

Furniturefilter: I'm looking for a set of full size bed rails. I have recently purchased a full size antique head and footboard. I am looking for a rather inexpensive way to purchase a set of rails to complete the bed. I am having absolutely no luck on a google search. Maybe there is another name for side rails that I'm missing? has anyone had any experiences with buying just the rails for a bed?

Mileage on full and empty tank

kaibutsu — Wed, 14 Jul 2004 09:44:00 -0800

I was on a road trip recently, and we fell to wondering whether the car uses gas faster when full or nearly empty. My friend said one thing, I had heard another, and harbor a suspicion that it's all urban myth anyway. Any ideas?
