Hehe, I think I meant that the small amounts bring it down to the personal scale. There's somewhere between 7,000 & 8,000 grains of rice in a cup. I've done the maths a couple of different ways, using a couple of different approaches, including using the average weight of a cup of rice, and both times the outcome is approx the same. There are in the region of 2.5 million grains of long grained white rice per 50Kg sack. Choose your figures from where you will, one report state

Added a few more grains to the sack ...... Edit: This is one of those weird things, where it's hard to feel good about anything .... it's just that once on the site, you're left with the option of making a very small effort for a very small gain, or moving on without bothering to contribute. There is something very in your face about dealing with such small amounts.

Cheerleaders, a streaker and 1st down & how many? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

While the onfield play didn't perhaps meet expectation, there was entertainment to be had watching history being made at Wembley yesterday. The New York Giants taking on the struggling Miami Dolphins, who were playing as the home team in this rain soaked stadium. The pitch, no - not a field you guys, that's what a cow stands in - the pitch, still new and prone to cutting up, challenged the natural playing style of the two visitors, resulting in a game that would I'm sure, have seemed

It's coming up to the big night, so I'm making this one last push. We've already had the pleasure of supporting a couple of Master Skinners through the first competition. We'd love to see if we can add one more. If you've taken a look and have something in mind but don't know how to post, I can help with that. Just ask here or PM me. If you think you can't draw at all but have a young'un that knows he/she can. Then let them do the drawing, scan it into your pc, a

FWIW I always go to Toshiba with laptops. It's the only hardware I ever buy from PCWorld. I know the earlier Satellite models were prone to overheating because the design exacerbated dust build up. That said, a 3rd party guide to cleaning the heatsink was soon available on line and easily managed. Besides which, Toshiba wised up pretty quickly and improved their designs. We have 3 in the family, not one has had to go back to the shop for any reason and barring some new information, m

You know you're more than welcome Po'dude. I didn't have to sell them, just keep communications open. FAH have also given Po' a nice written credit on their 'About' page, in the Logo section. Professor Vijay Pande the Director of Folding at Home was keen from the moment he saw Po's icons and made it easy to keep up with the development of the new version. FAH is going from strength to strength. Whether it's harnessing the power of the PlayStation market, or the refreshing
