Цял ден се опитвам да настроя Thunderbird и Windows Live Mail Beta да работят нормално и да си получа пощата. Първо Thunderbird-а забиваше при всеки опит за обновяване на някоя папка, после WLMb отказваше да изпраща писмата при което отново се ориентирах към Thunderbird… е… настроих го да не забива, освен когато се опита човек да изтрие повечко писма. В крайна сметка отново се върнах на Windows Live Mail beta с надеждата, че ще успея да го накарам да изпраща писмата. За нещастие, интусиазиран от безбройните радостни статии в Интернет хвалещи новата услуга на gmail, изтрих POP настройките си и филтрите в него и в момента съм принуден да карам с IMAP протокола или да загубя още 2 дни в настройки и филтриране. Ако все още не сте преминали на IMAP… не бързайте да триете старите си настройки… може да ви потрябват Be Sociable, Share!
How To Use An Apostrophe 4th junior high english class: COUNTABLE UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS Expressions of quantityA bag of: a bag of potatoes, a bag of oranges, a bag of dog food, a bag of potato chips; The Amazing Holographic Universe By Michael Talbot | rense.com In 1982 a remarkable event took place. At the University of Paris a research team led by physicist Alain Aspect performed what may turn out to be one of the most important experiments of the 20th century. You did not hear about it on the evening news. In fact, unless you are in the habit of reading scientific journals you probably have never even heard Aspect's name, though there are some who believe his discovery may change the face of science. Aspect and his team discovered that under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them. Somehow each particle always seems to know what the other is doing. University of London physicist David Bohm, for example, believes Aspect's findings imply that objective reality does not exist, that despite its apparent solidity the universe is at heart a phantasm, a gigantic and splendidly detailed hologram.

Here is a simple explanation of how to express possessives: So far, so good. With plural nouns, it gets a little tricky, primarily because there are many different plural nouns.

Questions and Answers from 5 Minute English Readers Here are some of the questions readers have been asking. Click on a question to find the answer. What is "Cross your heart, hope to die?" Answer This is a saying that children use to make a promise. The child draws an X over his heart with his finger and says "Cross my heart, hope to die." So, for example, two children might talk like this: Tommy: "Do you promise you won't tell anybody our secret?" Billy: "I promise." Tommy: "Really? Billy: "Cross my heart, (makes an X over his heart with his finger) hope to die, stick a needle in my eye." What is the difference between in the bank and at the bank? Answer: We use them as almost the same thing. It doesn't matter so much which one we use when we are talking about a building, but it might matter when we talk about other things. What is the difference between "BECAUSE" and "CAUSE"? Answer: You are probably confused because sometimes we say 'cause as a short way to say because. There is also a different word cause. Answer: In fact means actually.
March 10, 2007 Lightning and Night Photography Edit: A reader noticed something worth pointing out and thought that I should do so. When I say I change ISO settings, I'm doing this on my digital camera....if you use film, to do this you need to change your film to a different film speed(by purchasing a faster or slower speed film). Night Photography Section I'm typing this up for a couple tips on how to shoot lightning or night shots, as well as just so the unknowing can maybe get an idea why/how night shots look like they do. If you don't get things at all and have no grasp of exposure and cameras, I'd read the January 26, 2007 entry before this one. Shots during the day are much brighter and therefor don't need the shutter to be open long to expose. This is obviously at night. Now what happens if I'd try to do this same shot with an ISO setting of 100. Obviously 1/10 is half of 1/20, so that is one stop slower. Now that shot was a good example of something "brighter" at night. Does this portray "reality"? Lots going on here.

More specifically, THE FOLLOWING RULES ARE FOR AMERICAN ENGLISH, which is very strict when it comes to putting commas and periods in and around quotation marks. British English uses rules that allow the writer to determine whether the period or comma belong with the quotation or are part of the larger sentence. (See below.) If you want to be “safe," go with the rules for American English: if nothing else, it’s consistent and "predictable."
