Kami K: Do storm windows reduce excessive road noise and how much do they cost?
We just moved into an apartment next to a busy road, and we didn’t notice the excessive amount of road noise until our first night. I want to know if storm windows would be likely to fix this problem, and how much they cost?

Hi,
Ordinary triple track storm windows will do little to buffer outside sound. The only thing as far as windows go is the double pane replacement windows. Not sure if there’s anything you can really do.

probably a stupid question but i just want to make sure lol?

A 2-3 lbs. difference is insignificant. Your body weight will fluctuate throughout the day and it is the range of the fluctuation that you need to keep track. You can lose as much as 5 lbs just from sweating. Plus, it is only possible to gain about 5 lbs of lean muscle mass in a year’s time, so your gain is not going to be that dramatic BUT 5 lbs of muscles has volume; i.e. bulk.

If you are trying to get lean, cut back on the starchy and sugary foods and you will be amazed just how lean you can get.

My computer keeps saying that I have the above mentioned virus but my Norton cannot get rid of it. I ahve had to dig out viruses like this myself, but am stuck as how to begin getting rid of this one.

First, it is not a virus. It is describe as the following;

Bloodhound.PDF.21 is a heuristic detection for potentially malicious files, which may exploit vulnerabilities in Adobe Acrobat in order to perform further malicious actions.

Simply put, it means your computer has a software program which may be deemed as potentially hazardous. Many software tools have this rating. Especially product key code detections. You will need to get the name of the software being detected as a PUP (potentially unwanted program) then uninstall it. Read the link below from Norton.

How should I start my informative essay?

Brianna Jo:): How should I start my informative essay?
I have to write an informative essay on Vlad the Impaler, and I don’t know how to start it. Please help!

Best answer:

Answer by Jodyanne
If it is informative, start by telling where he is from, what he is noted for in history, and use all the where, what why and how questions. That will help. I don’t know who this person is. Make it so that I could learn from you and find out more about this person. Put it in your own words though…that is what makes something informative and interesting instead of writing it word for word out of a textbook or off the internet. Have fun with it. Good luck

amyams36: How to persuade a 10 year old boy to go to Disney World?
My parents asked my nephew to come to Disney World with us. He is a little unsure because he is scared that he is going to miss his parents. I’ve already told him that we’re usually are in the parks all day so we are so busy and he wont know. What are some other things I can tell him so will be excited to go and want to come?

Best answer:

Answer by Brandy
Show him the Disney website and search Disney ride videos on YouTube. That might help.

If he’s never been away from his parents for any length of time, it might be tough for him. But remind him that he can call them on the phone when you get back to the hotel at night.

How do you test a propane system on an rv?

echo2uuc: How do you test a propane system on an rv?
Can anyone explain how to test a propane system on an rv? What components do you check to know if the propane is flowing?
I know I have propane. I can’t get any smell or light anything. There is a check valve at the tank that has safety features. I guess the main question should be is how do you check this to see if it is working. thx

Best answer:

Answer by topgalant
Turn the tank on and light your stove.

It takes an actual tester to sniff around all the connections to see if there are any leaks and this needs to be done by a RV mechanic who can repair LPG lines if he finds a leak.

When I turn the hot water on it flows, trickles, and stops after 20 seconds – what to do?

ladybird: When I turn the hot water on it flows, trickles, and stops after 20 seconds – what to do?
When I turn the hot water on in bathroom or kitchen it starts flowing (warm) then in a few seconds it slows dows and stops altogether. I have a cold water tank in the loft, a hot water one in the bedroom, and a central heating gas boiler in the kitchen. The pipework has been recently replaced by a friend. Cold water is fine. I don’t understand how the two tanks and the boiler work together? The radiators work just fine, why doesn’t the hot water work? We tried airing the tank by connecting the hot and cold water pipes in the kitchen and letting the pressure from the mains push whatever bubbles there were out through the system but we still have no hot water. With an eight weeks old baby in the house this is a disaster – please, help!
I forgot to add that the pipes are copper (mostly new ones), and the taps in both kitchen and bathroom are all brand new.

Best answer:

Answer by Brutally Honest
My first thought would be a leak that only drips (releases pressure) when the pipes expand from the heat of the water. If you’re using something other than copper, than I couldn’t tell you. I would suggest calling out a plumber and making sure your friend didn’t screw things up.

BTW, the cold and hot lines have separate pipes, so even if the hot doesn’t flow, the cold would.
