Sorry, I can only disrecommend.  

-California Cleaners at the corner of Showers and California in
Mountain View.  Melted a hole (with stain-removal chemicals) in the
delicate organza of an expensive dress, in an area where it cannot be
fixed.  Claimed they didn't even treat that part of the dress.  Lied.

Wish I had some place to recommend, 'cause there's a pile of dry cleaning
at home waiting.

Don't use those cleaning tapes!  They typically have an abrasive agent on
the tape that is intended to clean, but in fact may damage the video heads.
The right way to clean VCR heads is to open the unit up and use a
foam- or chamois-tipped swab to do the cleaning.  (Don't use a cotton-tipped
swab, the fibers can really foul things up.)

Most libraries and bookstores have books on VCR repair that include complete
cleaning instructions.  Otherwise, take it to a shop and have them do it for
you.  Usually, as long as you have the box open it's a good idea to replace
all the belts and maybe the idler wheel at the same time.

Does anybody else have this odd size?  If so, where in the

Yes, what's happened is that 5-10 years ago, the quality of Japanese cars
was much higher, but the Japanese companies have gotten fat, happy, and
lazy and inflated their prices a lot, and the American companies have made
considerable improvements.  I'd say the question of which cars are highest
quality is much trickier these days, and depends on the specific model
you're talking about (both Japanese and American companies are putting out
some really well-made cars as well as some crappy ones).

Since the US asked Japan to restrict the number of cars imported, why
not do so by raising prices?

Neither. And it's not just watches.

There are two standards for how "4" is represented in Roman Numerals. All
clocks and watches use "IIII" and everything else uses "IV". The world has
been this way for at least a few hundred years.

Now, if you want to know *why* clocks and watches are different, that's a
much
harder question to answer. Most viable theories I've seen have to do with
aesthetics; I'll try to remember to look it up tonight in one of my watch
books.

One of the hangers that holds the muffler to the bottom of my car is
broken and needs to be welded. (Okay, I shouldn't have gone over that
speed bump so fast.)  I'm worried about taking in it for repairs
because I'm not sure what type of shop would be best (a muffler place?
a welding shop?) and I don't want to end up paying more than the cost
of a new muffler for a job that should take 10 minutes.

Does anybody have a recommendation for a place in the East Bay
(preferably Fremont/Pleasanaton/Livermore) that does this kind of
work?  Thanks.

Perhaps the most objective measurements available are the frequency of repair
reader surveys that 'Consumer Reports' does every year. I haven't studied those for
awhile, but the last time I did, the better Japanese makers (Honda, Toyota)
were still noticably out in front (among the reasonably priced (non-luxury)
priced cars). They were also remarkably consistent across their entire
model lines.

As I understand the Roman Numerals, they go: I, II, III, IV, V, etc...

Note that 4 = IV.  Well, I have been unable to find a watch where the
"4" (or "IV") is correct.  Most watches I have found use "IIII" for "4".

So, am I wrong, or are the watch makers?

[well, time again to use ba.* as a resource for research, sorry rick]
 
I am looking for a pool hall that fits the description mentioned in the
subject line. Mostly, I'd like to find a place that's non-smoking -- and
if I cant have that, i'd settle for a a poolhall that allows smoking in
only specific areas.  Also, the place must charge an hourly rate regardless
of how many people in your group are playing. Plus, it should have a high
non-sleaze factor. Does such beast exist? I am looking for something like thta
in either SF or East bay. Currently, I go to SF's Family Billards on Geary
by Masonic, but their rate schedule is based on how many people are playing
at the pool table, not a flat rate -- also, their ventilation is so bad the
cig smoke from the place is suffocating (not to mention that it stinks up all
your clothes).

Somebody mentioned to me about a place in Emeryville that's clean and charges
only $7.00 flat rate/hr per table. Does anybody know where it is?

Now that January is almost at an end, it's time to think about taxes (yeah,
I know, I'm compulsive... :^)

This is the first year where having the taxes _done_ for us might actually
make some sense.  Our special circumstances include a house purchase,
an IRA dissolution, and possession of a Mortgage Credit Certificate.

Any recommendations for tax preparers/CPAs with expertise in these areas?

East Bay preferred; I'll summarize if there's interest.  Thanks!
