ok, i wasn't sure where to ask this but - i'm in a stock market challenge for the summer. we have 1 million dollars <fake of course> to invest in the stock market. there are 12 teams and we are in last right now. So, i KNOW my friends here at TVCH know SOOOO much that maybe you could help me. If you had play money to invest (it's only for 3 months) what would you buy - what is hot right now!!! I at least want to make it out of last place!! Thanks friends

I think you need to do some research. Not sure where you do that. Some drug companies or tech companies could be hot. Disney and McD are not likely to increase a whole lot...especially not in a three month span.

NC, I think you are talking about how many cups of flour in a pound, but if you are not, here are some other conversions that I found on this website: http://dragon.sleepdeprived.ca/camping/recipes/food_proportions.htm 16 ounces = 1 pound 2 cups sugar = 1 pound 1 stick butter (1/4 pound) = 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons 4 cups flour = 1 pound 16 tablespoons = 1 cup 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon 32 fluid ounces = 1 quart

Anyone know San Diego? A friend of mine who lives in Arizona is going to drive out for a few days with her dh and 2 boys (ages 6 & 3). They'll probably stay in a motel 6 or something & do the beach thing.They don't think they'll do sea world or san diego zoo-- it is so expensive & they just want to veg out & relax by the beach or eat out & go to the shops on the beach. (They have very little $$) Any ideas for them?

Julieboo, one place I would suggest that wouldn't cost them anything (if they don't park at the hotel) is Hotel del Coronado.: www.hoteldel.com parking there is expensive (even for hotel guests)...but, they can find parking around the hotel. there is a small beach area. they won't be able to bring in coolers or anything like that. but there is an outdoor patio area w/umbrellas. i'll let you know more if you think they might be interested. it's a great place. if you ever saw the old classic "Some like it hot"...the hotel is this hotel. i've seen many people, not guests, there. they can also shop around the area (about 5 blocks of shops within walking distance). again, not much of a beach off the hotel area though. Coronado is just over a bridge from San Diego...10-15 minutes away, I think?

julie, the kids might get bored. there are stairs going from the patio that faces the ocean (this area is not just for guests). the kids might enjoy the beach area for a short while...but i think they would get bored quickly. there are about 5 blocks of shops all within walking distance for the hoteldel. i think your friends would have fun going through the lobby, etc. it's quite big with shops/deli, etc.

I have a campmate tent (got it free) I cannot find anywhere to see how I can pitch it properly. I have it almost up..but I think I am missing a pole or 2. (yes it is an older one with poles - 6 man) Cannot find a picture of it or instructions to do so..any help would be appreciated as I am just about as frustrated trying to pitch it as I am trying to find instructions to pitch it.

Skootz, I'm not a camper, but maybe if you have a digital camera, you can take a pic of the tent (and whatever stage you have it set up) and post it here? Maybe a camp savy person can come up with something. I tried Googling "Campmate Tent" and got a few hits, but of course have no idea how to proceed since I have no idea what the tent looks like. Is Campmate a brand name? Are they in business any more? I googled Campmate by itself and couldn't find a company website. One thing I've had success with in the past with old products that I've lost handbooks to is to e-mail the company and ask for a copy, or instructions or something. Don't know if any of that will help or not. Might be you've already tried all that.

OK, I have a DQ of my own. I don't want to over ride Skootz's question, so lets make sure to keep that alive too! Mine has to do with binoculars. What exactly am I looking for in power and such? I have one pair of binoculars with the following data printed on it: 8 x 30 MM, 460 ft at 1000 yds, 153m/1000m. Just what does all that mean? And what should I be looking for if I were to buy a new pair? Also, has anyone heard of (or better yet, used) those digital binoculars that are supposed to be able to take a picture too? Are they any good? I've seen them advertised as being able to use at sporting events to bring the action up close. Would they be of any use in a stadium if I want to take pics of my niece at a drum corps show? I'll be in the stands, and she'll be on the field. And I assume they have no flash, so are they useless once the sun goes down? I certainly wouldn't be able to afford the 600$ pair I saw when Googling, but I've also seen them around the 28$ or 68$ range. Would those be so cheap they wouldnt' be worth it?
