I have recently heard of a type of pavement called "screening," which apparently is some kind of gravel mixture that hardens with water and appears similar to blacktop. Can you please tell me a little more about it, along with possible alternate names for it? I've been unable to find any information about this type of pavement using the word "screening." What is it made of? If it is as cheap and durable as I've been told, why isn't it used more often? Are there any environmental concerns? Any regulations regarding its use? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.148.189.142 ( talk) 04:12, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Can anyone suggest how I might get hold of one of the new Zimbabwean $100 billion notes [ [1]]here in Melbourne, Australia? Thanks Adambrowne666 ( talk) 05:03, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
What is the shortest hole in all of golf? Not just championship courses, ANY course. 121.220.72.99 ( talk) 12:24, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
The mini-golf course nearby has one hole that is just 37 inches, but it is over a steep hillock. Does this help? 86.211.109.40 ( talk) 13:14, 20 July 2008 (UTC)DT
I play golf in my garden sometimes. Because I'm shit, I usually put the ball next to the hole, about 1 cm away. (Actually I don't play golf, but hopefully you get my point akin to 86's point) Nil Einne ( talk) 19:54, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
moved to User_talk:Earthan_Philosopher#Hello_and_welcome as it is not really a reference desk question. 87.102.86.73 ( talk) 16:39, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
At the start of each chapter in Mario Puzo's books, there is a small symbol. Similar to a circle / flower. What would this symbol be called and where could I find the symbol on the internet. I searched, but not knowing what to call it really hampers my efforts. JelloTube ( talk) 14:42, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
We have a nest of raccoons that have found an entrance between the walls of our townhomes. Now that they are in there, they scamper between the walls and floors of our 6 units. We have set out traps next to the opening and have caught 4 so far. There are more...we can hear them. We loosely put chicken wire over the opening, so we can tell when they leave the wall. We're afraid to seal it up, since they would die in the walls and ceilings and decay. Is there a way we can smoke or fog them out...so, they leave and we can either catch them...or they can just find another place to live in the nearby woods? Once we stop hearing them move about, we will seal up the opening with a permanent solution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrizzi ( talk • contribs) 17:59, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
How about Baha'i religion, which is relatively modern, very civilized, and a "unitary-God-worshipping, non-vindictive and non-terrorising religion". Omidinist ( talk) 14:01, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Do you really need an established religion? Ask yourself what you believe about God, life and the world and act on it -- you don't need to find an existing practice to tell you what to believe or do. 99.245.92.47 ( talk) 20:08, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
The economy, world leaders, or just basic human selfishness? How come I got no problem being a caring, unselfish person? Sometimes I weep for all the starving children, for example. Something must be responsible. Is this how police states think? Are problems just part of life, (Some win, some lose, Earth still spins,...)?-- Hey, I'm Just Curious ( talk) 19:19, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
In Earthanism, all these natural disasters is part of a prophecy of the apocolypse, and humans are paying for there sins, and sadly enough, soon 1/4 of the evil and sinful people on this earth will die as we are infested with disease-ridden cockroaches and other insects for a year . . . O_O. However, for the starving children, that is just an unfortunate circumstance created by the sinful rulers of the world (and all governmental leaders are sinners because they are disrespecting the deities, and not just one out of the few). They shall be rewarded in the afterlife.

Have you ever heard of a "Talk-in Box"? It was mentioned in a radio broadcast on KKJZ 88.1 out of Long Beach, CA yesterday morning on a program that deals with the early days of Jazz. I have searched for any mention of it on the internet and sites like yours and found nothing. It sounds to me to be like the old tabletop jukeboxes that were harwdwired to a main jukebox but I would like to learn more about them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.129.33.32 ( talk) 22:41, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
