Your Questions About Facebook

Lisa asks…

How much does it cost to advertise on facebook?

What does CPM & CPC mean? Can anyone who has advertised on facebook describe how much it cost you overall? Also, is there anyone who can mention if facebook advertising (and the specific type of facebook ad – social ad/etc, age group) was positive or negative for them in their ventures? I’d really appreciate any responses to this, thanks.

Michelle answers:

Setting up an ad account and advertising on Facebook is easy. You can do a CPC or CPM campaign and the minimum for both is $5. Like Google Adwords, you set your own budget.

You can also set who your target is with Facebook whether you want those who are college grads, which you can further target by major or by colleges attended; or college students or high school

Their online ad tool can be found at http://www.facebook.com/ads/

Chris asks…

What is the purpose of Facebook and similar web sites?

A friend invited me to join, I joined now that friend only communicates via facebook, we used to text and email, and phone each other.

What is the purpose of Facebook and similar web sites?

Michelle answers:

Facebook and myspace are social networking sites meant to bring people together who do not know each other personally but have same interests or affiliations (i.e. Went to same high school/college)

unfortunately sometimes these sites take the place of actual physical contact with folks you do know in person. This is one of the fall backs of the internet in general.

William asks…

how do i wipe everything from my laptop?

i plan to sell my laptop and i would want everything from my laptop to be deleted except for the stuff that was originally on it (my history, downloads, credit card info, facebook login etc), like i just bought it, i would just manually delete stuff but theres a lot of junk that i downloaded and i forgot where i stored them. Also if i were to delete everything, would my computer run faster? i am running windows vista basic

Michelle answers:

Well, you should format your memory, and all the answers are good, but I think the easiest way is just to use the recovery disk that came with your computer. If it doesn’t come with the new computers, then destroy your hard drive. Just take it out, and completely crush it with a hammer. Or, take it out and use a VERY VERY strong magnet and leave the hard drive on it overnight.

Nancy asks…

How do you remove saved e-mail addresses on facebook?

I just made a facebook for a friend on a public computer, but I accidentally clicked yes when the message came up saying “Do you wish for firefox to remember this email address?”

Jenny asks…

How strong an impact do you think Babel and Torres will make to the Liverpool squad?

Do you think the arrival of Babel and Torres will be enough for the reds to win some silverware? Or will the Red’s new additions to the quad turn out to be a flop?

Michelle answers:

Babel and Torres can make the difference only to win the Premiership, but only thanks their coach Benitez.
The dutch forward is too young and not so strong as the most of the journalists think. Ha has a good shoot, a great body but not a good dribbling. He score pretty goals cause he has talent, but i don’t know if this is enough to make a great forward. In fact sure we don’t have to call him “goal-machine” cause he didn’t sign often in Netherlands. He isn’t anything special, but he’s young and with Benitez probably he will become a great striker.
The spanish talent is a good player. He has technic, shoot, ball control and he is wise like a fox. He is 23 and he has already played 7 spanish league. But he has never played in England, and the soccer in this Country is quite different than Spain. I don’t know if he will score a lot of goals, but sure you don’t have to put the destiny of the team in his hands.

And so, i believe that Torres – Bable will be a good couple in the future, not now.

Daniel asks…

how long before nascar switches stations?

i like nascar being on fox, i hate when it switches around, i just wondered when it changes stations?

Michelle answers:

FOX will show the first 13 Cup races along with the Budweiser Shootout every year, including the Daytona 500. The package runs through the first weekend in June and the race at Dover International Speedway.

TNT, which split from former partner NBC, then picks up the coverage, with the next six telecasts, which covers the following tracks: Pocono, Michigan, Sonoma, Loudon, Daytona (Coke Zero 400 Powered By Coca Cola), and Chicagoland. The Coke Zero 400 Powered By Coca Cola will be presented with limited commercial interruptions.

ESPN would then televise the rest of the late summer schedule.

The ten races for the Chase for the Sprint Cup will be on ABC under the Disney brand “ESPN on ABC”. The Allstate 400 will begin the package.

SPEED Channel will carry the Gatorade Duel at Daytona, just before the Daytona 500, and the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway in May.

The Coors Light Pole qualifying sessions for Cup racing will be shown on SPEED, ESPN & ESPN2 with the exception of Daytona 500 qualifying, which will be shown on FOX.

Your Questions About Fafsa

Chris asks…

How to use fafsa money for school?

Im starting college next week and I need to buy some books. But I dont know how to buy the books with the fafsa money. The books are really expensive. Also is there places where I can buy the books cheaper than at school?

Michelle answers:

There is no such thing as FAFSA money. The FAFSA is just a federal form that is used by schools to base any financial aid. The money comes from each individual school, or state grants, loans etc.
Did you get an award letter (print or online) for financial aid from your college? They probably have a place on their website for your account, with a page for financial aid.
You can buy books used at the college book stores, or if you have time, online. Ecampus, amazon, etc.
If you have financial aid at your school you will buy the books in their bookstore and the money will probably just come out of an account, not actual cash you will have.

Robert asks…

What do I do about the FAFSA if my household income changes?

If my father lost his job, he wouldn’t be able to pay the expected family contribution towards my tuition. There doesn’t seem to be a way to inform of job loss on the FAFSA either. What would be done in a situation like that?

Michelle answers:

Fafsa goes off the previous years income, so there is no reason to “go back and correct it” as others are suggesting. This would not help you. If your dad does have a recent job layoff, you will still have to fill out a fafsa (using his 2008 income info off his taxes). Then I would contact your schools fin aid office and tell them you have unusual circumstances you need to discuss. Take a copy of dads layoff letter with you. They will ask for more paperwork.

Sometimes doing this makes a big difference in how much aid you get, sometimes it doesn’t. (like if you have another parent in the household who makes a great deal of money and hasn’t been laid off).

James asks…

I misspelled my name in my fafsa application would that be problem for my college?

I misspelled my name, I have too and so I left the dash out and placed a space, and i did not notice until the deadline for the fafsa application deadline passed for my college. Also in my college application it appears with a dash. Unlike my fafsa application. Thanks for taking the time to help me.

Michelle answers:

Usually on your FAFSA account you have the option to make corrections. If not then call your financial aid office.

Sharon asks…

How can you tell if my FAFSA is approved?

I filled out the fafsa so I can go to school, when I check the status it just says processed. Does that mean its approved? How will I know if its approved or denied? I just filled it out a few days ago..not sure how long its supposed to tak eiether.

Michelle answers:

Your FAFSA is neither approved nor denied, it is simply processed. After being processed it’s sent to the schools you’ve listed and they decide based on your EFC number from your FAFSA if and how much aid you receive. A processed FAFSA does not mean you will be getting aid, it just means it does not appear that there is any missing information that needs to be corrected.

Your Questions About Fedex

Paul asks…

Can I pick up my missed FedEx package at the local center?

So I wasn’t home when they delivered my package this morning. They left a door tag and they’ll be back tomorrow.

But would it be possible for me to take my door tag into the local hub tonight and pick up my package there? Or does it sit on the truck all night? Is there any reason I should have to call them ahead of time to let them know?

I’d really appreciate someone who works for FedEx‘s response.

Thanks!

Michelle answers:

You can try you can also call 1800 gofedex
ask the rep if you can in most cases its possible
i work for fedex[office[Kinko’s]

Lizzie asks…

somebody sent me a fedex shipping label but I sent the wrong package. Who pays if he does not accept it?

So I told the guy not to open the package and to return it to FedEx. Is he loosing his money? He payed for the shipping label and send it to me.

Michelle answers:

The company that sent the label is responsible for payment to Fedex,,

Ken asks…

What are the delivering methods that Fedex uses?

Also, is their a way to find out the delivering speed for a packaged I ordered from ebay and is being sent through Fedex.

Michelle answers:

This gives a list of types of shipments for US packages up to 150 lbs. Http://www.fedex.com/us/services/us/index.html

Regular ground residential is 1-7 business days depending upon distance, or SmartPost which hands it off to the post office for final delivery is 2-8 days.

Hopefully the seller could give you a tracking number, so you could tell about when it will be delivered.

Joseph asks…

How to get fedex to leave package at front office?

I got a door tag from fedex the past 2 days and the dumb robot girl says they cant hold my package for some reason? How can I get fedex to just leave the package at the front appt office? Or is there something else i should do? The office is too far for me to get to by the time im free for the day.

Your Questions About Forever 21

Thomas asks…

What are some stores that are like forever 21 or girlprops?

I like forever 21 and girlprops but is there any thing else like that that is not that expensive? Or were you can buy cute but cheap things?!?!

Michelle answers:

Vanity is a really good store similar to those.
Charlotte russe is pretty good too
H&M

Charles asks…

How old do you have to be to work at forever 21?

How old do you have to be to work at forever 21?
Im 16 and have a workers permit but I have no former job experiences besides working at my dads office. At what age do they hire? I also live in tucson arizona if it matters?
I know its not18+ my sisters friend works there at 17. I just want to know if you can work there at 16. THANKS TO EVERYONE!

Michelle answers:

Its usually sixteen, but they usually want some experience. Since you don’t have any that would contribute much, wear a funky outfit and show your personality. They want original, funky girls that have bubbly personalities and are outgoing(: But mainly be yourself!

Chris asks…

What are some stores that are similar to forever 21?

I want stores that have the same kind of clothing that forever 21 has, the store can either be an acutal store or it can be an online one. Thanks!! also know any good boho clothing stores??? thanks!

Michelle answers:

Wet Seal maybe.

Maria asks…

What is a guy store like Forever 21 in the Mall of Georgia?

I wanna shop at someplace different other than Abercombie, Hollister, Aeropostale, and American Eagle. Is there a place like Forever 21 that’s in the Mall of Georgia? I really want cool clothes.

Michelle answers:

Well the Forever 21 in Mall of Georgia doesn’t carry the Men 21 collection, which is the Forever 21 line for men. I’ve been before and they only sell women’s clothes.

I know that Perimeter Mall in Georgia has a Forever 21 (called XXI in Perimeter) that has the Men 21 collection.

Most XXI’s have the Men 21 collection because XXI is Forever 21’s flagship store, which means that it carries most of the collections and lines that Forever 21 has.

Your Questions About Firefox

Sandra asks…

What’s the difference between mozilla and firefox?

I thought firefox was a browser made by a company called mozilla. Then I read a comment from someone that said “mozilla, firefox, and opera are very fast”

Michelle answers:

I think that comment is wrong. Mozilla is an organization that makes several different software packages, including Firefox. There may have been other browsers from Mozilla in the past, but at this point all they offer is Firefox and a suite which includes a browser, called Seamonkey. See www.mozilla.org.

Sharon asks…

How do I import favorites from Firefox to IE7?

I need to import my Firefox bookmarks to IE7 as it is the only browser that will work with my local public wireless connection. How do I go about doing so?

Michelle answers:

First export the bookmarks from Mozilla Firefox to a Netscape-style bookmark file.

1. Start Mozilla Firefox

2. From the Bookmarks menu, click Organize Bookmarks…

3. To export all the bookmarks, select the All Bookmarks tree

4. Click the Import and Backup button, and select Export HTML…

5. Save the file bookmarks.html to your Desktop.

To import the bookmarks.html contents to Internet Explorer, use the Import/Export wizard which is available under the File menu.

Ken asks…

How do I log into my Yahoo account with Firefox?

Firefox recently just gave up allowing me to access my Yahoo account. Every time I enter my log in details, I am taken directly back to log in page. I am not given an error message, and I can log in fine through explorer, which I hate having to use. I am using the latest version of Firefox, and I have installed the update on the firebug bolt on. Help!
Firefox recently just gave up allowing me to access my Yahoo account. Every time I enter my log in details, I am taken directly back to log in page. I am not given an error message, and I can log in fine through explorer, which I hate having to use. I am using the latest version of Firefox, and I have installed the update on the firebug bolt on, although Firefox stopped working prior to installing Firebug (Another question forum suggested that the up to date Firebug may solve the problem. It didn’t). Help!

Michelle answers:

I have the latest version of Firefox and have never had a problem. I have never used the Firebug add-on. Try disabling it and see if that solves the problem.

Thomas asks…

How can I get web icons on my desktop to link to Safari and not Firefox?

On my desktop it has links to my favorite websites. When I open them up they open to Firefox and not Safari web browser. The thing I set Safari is my default internet browser on ‘Program Access and Defaults’ and Firefox is just another one I use.
So WHY is it opening them in Firefox and not my default web browser Safari. How can I change this?
:l no Safari IS my default internet browser! I just can’t understand why website icons on my desktop are opening in Firefox when they should be opening in Safari. How can I change them to open the website in Safari?

Michelle answers:

Right click on the shortcut, then select Properties from the menu that pops up. Click on the Shortcut tab, if it isn’t already pointing to that one.

Look at the start of the “target” field. It will contain the path to your Safari browser, probably in quotation marks. Delete that path and enter the path to Firefox – which will probably be something like:
“C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe”

Click on OK to close the property box then try it out from the desktop.

You may also want to change the “Start in” path to point to the same one in which firefox resides.

Your Questions About Food Network

Chris asks…

Moms do you ever experiment with new food recipes?

I am bored of cooking the same boring things.

I go to food network to find new recipes, but they never come out very good.
Does anyone have any good recipes? I’m not a very good cook, but I can certainly learn to make new things.

Does anyone have any recipes that have meat?

Michelle answers:

I make new things a few times a week.
I have a few cookbooks, I use “Mastering The Art of French Cooking” a lot, but I mainly use the internet.

Here are some sites I frequent:
http://www.smittenkitchen.com/ <—favorite
http://www.simplyrecipes.com/
http://www.101cookbooks.com/
http://userealbutter.com/
http://www.davidlebovitz.com/category/recipes/
http://www.chezpim.com/
http://www.homesicktexan.blogspot.com/
http://www.orangette.blogspot.com/
http://www.thekitchn.com/

All of them have recipes with meat in them (except 101 cookbooks), you can search the sites for a specific ingredient and pick what you want from the results.

Also don't underestimate http://www.epicurious.com/ nice site lots of reviews for most things.

Lisa asks…

What is the difference between roasted red peppers and pimientos?

I always watch the cooks on Food Network and they always talk about using roasted red peppers in a variety of dishes. I bought a jar of those and they tasted just like the much less expensive pimientos. The only difference I could taste was in the price.

Michelle answers:

Take it from a former chef in Canada, they are the same thing, one is usually jarred (RRP) and more expensive and the other is less expensive (PIM) and in a tin.

Years ago when I was working, we either used the tinned ones for garnishes and in food, it is not but for the last few years that roasted pepper, something that has been around for years has become popular. Today you can get them in jars, deli counters and salad bars.

I used to blacken them on the charcoal broiler, and the peel them, they were more of a salad or appetizer ingredient, now everyone uses them makes saues from them and use them a main course items, stuffed or baked.

What do you use to clean your butcher block cutting board?

I love watching the Food Network channel! I’ve noticed one thing that all those chefs have in common, is that they use a butcher block cutting board to do all their prep work with their meats and veggies.
What is safe to use to clean those to prevent salmonella?

Michelle answers:

A solid wooden chopping board is one of the most versatile, useful and attractive kitchen essentials.

While wooden boards were once considered less hygienic than plastic, recent studies at the University of California say otherwise. When bacteria colonies on washed marble, plastic and wood boards were measured and compared, wood won hands down. Good-quality wooden boards can last for decades and even be handed down through the generations.

Before its first use, wipe your new board all over with olive oil, and set aside until the oil soaks in. Prolonged immersion in water can lead to splitting, so never soak your board; the dishwasher is also a no-no. The best treatment is the simplest – just scrub with hot water and detergent and dry on the rack. If it becomes rough or splintered, scrub with steel wool or gently rub the board with fine sandpaper. Regular monthly oiling will keep it in top condition.

How does food get freezdried?

I was watching this thing on the food network the other night and it was talking about how food is freezdried but it didnt go to in depth. The part im confused about is how to they get the water vapor out of the food without heating the food up?

Michelle answers:

The food is placed in an environment where the ambient pressure can be lowered.

When the pressure gets low enough, all the water will boil off and the food will be left completely dry. The process of boiling is endothermic, so the food is also cooled in this process.
