Quick answer for how long the iPad lasts: between 10 hours and 30 days.

The apple tablet, unveiled as the iPad, is designed to bridge the gap between the Macbook Pro and the iPhone. Running the same operating system as the iPhone and iPod touch, the apple tablet is said to have a fully charged battery life capable of playing 10 hours of video or 10 hours of application usage. The internal battery will be charged using the same white 30 pin connector cord that charges and syncs other apple products, such as the iPhone and iPod. When resting in standby mode the iPad was said to last up to one month, or 30 days. The consuming public will not be able to verify or test these claims until early second quarter 2010 (the beginning of March).

How long does a fully charged apple tablet iPad battery last? An estimated 10 hours to 1 month depending upon the type of usage.

Quick answer for how long to bake a potato: 1 hour at 350 degrees.

The first step in preparing to bake a potato is to wash and clean the spud.  Once all the dirt has been removed, use a fork or knife to poke a few holes into the potato. This will allow moisture and steam to freely breath and will prevent the potato from exploding in the oven. By now the oven should be preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. There are two schools of thought for how the potato should be baked; with or without aluminum foil. Wrapping the potato in aluminum foil will allow the trapped heat to cook the spud slightly quicker while simply baking a potato without any cover will result in a crunchier skin. When baking without wrapping the potato in aluminum foil it is recommended to place a light coat of oil on the raw potato to protect the skin from cracking during the cooking process. The decision is entirely your choice based upon preference. Place the potatoes in the oven and allow one hour of cooking time. Exactly how long potatoes take to cook vary upon the size and number of potatoes baking, but the average russet potato will bake in 45-60 minutes. To check if the potato is finished and thoroughly baked, slide a knife or toothpick directly into the center of the spud and there should not be any potato residue on the poking instrument. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper and your baked potatoes are ready to eat!

How long do you bake a potato for? One hour.

FAST TIP – If one hour is too long and you wish to decrease the cooking time, microwave the potato for 5 minutes before placing it in the oven. This will cut the overall cooking time in half and reduce the oven baking period to a mere 20-30 minutes.

The drug marijuana enters the body through oral consumption (eating) or the more common method of smoke inhalation. Depending upon the potency of the marijuana varying levels of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the psychoactive chemical in marijuana, will remain in the blood stream and urine.  On average, trace amounts of THC can be detected up to 4 weeks after use. For light users smoking less potent marijuana, the THC will be expelled from the body’s system in as little as 3 or 4 days. How long THC can be detected in moderate users is an average range of 1-2 weeks while heavy, everyday users can have traces of marijuana detected in their urine up to 31 days after initial use has ceased.

The question of how long marijuana stays in the system is also dependent on which drug testing option is being used. Urine test kits can distinguish THC and marijuana in the body for the previously mentioned lengths of time while hair follicle drug tests can confirm marijuana use months after the last ingestion. Marijuana is stored in the body’s fat cells, which are also present in the bloodstream. This results in blood testing being the most accurate (and the most expensive drug test) and can detect THC use up to 1 year after initial consumption.

How long does marijuana stay in the body? 1-4 weeks

When attempted to determine how long a felony (or misdemeanor, conviction, or arrest) will stay on your criminal record one must realize that from state to state the laws vary. There is not a single universal time frame for how long any charge will appear on your criminal record because there are too many variables from the severity of the crimes to the different state laws governing crime. The single consistency is that depending upon the severity of the criminal charge and length of time elapsed, an individual can petition the state and or/jurisdiction to have the record expunged (removed from public record). In order to expunge your record, please contact the presiding courthouse or the representing lawyer for more information. Left unattended, any criminal presiding will remain public information indefinitely, available for any and all to read, including friends, family or potential employers.

How Long Does a Felony Appear on Your Criminal Record? Permanently until the criminal record is expunged.

Obtaining an American passport is required for all travel outside of the country, including air and car travel to Mexico and Canada. One can easily acquire the passport application packet online or at most major postal offices. Once the application forms have been filled out you need to schedule an appointment and meet with an official Passport Agent who will verify your identity and send your finished forms to be finalized by the United States government. Passport Agency’s include post offices, courthouses and other government sanctioned passport employees.  Please consult and research in your own area as locations of passport agents vary from city to city. Upon completion and payment for the passport, you will select and pay for one of two processing options that will effect how long it takes to obtain your passport. The standard routine service which takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks to be delivered to your door or the expedited service (this service costs extra) which one will receive in approximately 2 to 3 weeks.  These expected delivery dates are fairly accurate but lengths of time are merely estimates and can vary depending on the time of year or back log of applications at your passport agency. The entire process of obtaining a passport should be between two weeks and six weeks long depending on the desired method of processing.

How long to get a Passport? 2-6 weeks.

Typically, cocaine stays in the system for 1 to 3 days depending on the potency of the drug and the amount ingested. However, traces of cocaine and the metabolite it creates (benzoylecgonine) can be detected through urine drug tests or hair follicle tests for up to 30 days after initial use. The true answer of how long cocaine stays in the system is also based on many external variables, such as the purity of the cocaine being ingested, the method of ingestion (smoking, snorting, etc.), the frequency of use, and whether or not any other drugs were used in conjunction. Due to the massive amounts of variables in determining how long the cocaine stays in the body, assume at least 72 hours for all traces of the drug to leave your system.

How long can cocaine be traced in your system? 2-3 days

There are two reasons or styles of boiling ribs. The first way is to boil the uncooked pork or beef ribs followed by placing them on the grill. The boiling is used to cut down the time it will take for the ribs to cook on a grill. If this is your reason for boiling the ribs, please regard the following directions. Bring a large pot of water to a roaring boil. Once the bubbles escape the surface of the pot, place your seasoned or unseasoned ribs into the pot, cover and reduce the temperature to medium. Salts are recommended for the water but you can also add any vegetables or additional flavoring. Remember, the water will absorb most of the seasoning in the end. The actual boiling time will vary depending upon the size of the rack of ribs and if they are beef or pork but the general rule is to leave them in the pot for about 45 minutes. Adjust according if you have more or less meat (use your own judgment).  Drain and remove the ribs before seasoning or rubbing them and place them on the low heat grill for an additional 20-30 minutes per side depending on desired level of tenderness.

The other style of boiling ribs is to cook the entire rack underwater. This method loses a lot of flavor, fat, and nutrients into the water. This is the fastest method of cooking ribs, but many purists will denounce this method. However, if you are short on time, drops your ribs into salted boiling water for 1 to 2 hours depending upon the size and amount of ribs. There is not an exact cook time but how long the average rack of ribs should take to boil is about sixty minutes. Check for tenderness and level of doneness and adjust accordingly. The USDA suggests that pork ribs are safe to eat at 180 degrees Fahrenheit.

how long does it take to cook a steak in the oven: 5-9 minutes per side.

Depending on the type of steak you are planning on cooking, as well as the thickness, the oven times will vary. Regardless, begin by heating your oven to the broil setting and place your seasoned beef on a baking sheet. Once the oven is heated, place the steak inside and your doneness level you prefer will establish the cooking time. Remember to flip each steak only once.

Rare: 5 minutes per side (150-155 degrees). The center will have a red center and a squishy give to the touch.

Medium Rare: 6 minutes per side (155-160 degrees). The center will be pink and the outside will give resistance to the touch.

Medium: 7-8 minutes per side (160-170 degrees). The inside of the steak will begin to cook at this stage, with browning on the inside. A strong resistance is felt by the touch.

Well Done: 10 minutes per side (170 degrees and above). If you say so. Thoroughly darken on the inside and out. The steak is tough to cut and tough to squish.

Please use the above table to determine how long to cook your steaks in the oven. Always remember to let your steaks breath by having them sit once they finish cooking for about 10 minutes before you cut and serve. If you are using a meat thermometer, pull the steaks away from the heat when they are about 10 degrees lower than your desired cooking level. They will continue to cook while they sit and breathe.

These days it seems as if everybody is worried about their health and safety as it relates to swine flu. There are many factors to determine if your cold is mostly harmless or the onset of a more serious flu.  A person’s age, weight and general health also affect how quickly your antibodies fight off the viruses. Due to the multitude of different flu virus it’s difficult to determine exactly how long the flu lasts. Symptoms generally occur within 24 hours of contact or infection and include the chills, fever, body aches, fatigue, nasal congestion, coughing fits, and a red composure.  If symptoms persist for more than 72 hours, consult your local doctor or physician. The young, elderly and those with weak immunities should be extra cautious and error on the side of safety. Seek medical attention at the first signs of the flu as it can be fatal to the above groups of people.

The similarities between influenza (the flu) and the common cold are extremely similar. The key to fighting the viruses is to begin resting your body immediately, drink plenty of fluids (WATER) and avoid inhibiting toxins such as alcohol or tobacco. Antiviral drugs such as Tamiflu may be required for the more serious cases. In an average human how long the swine flu, common cold or influenza will run its course is within 3 days to a week causing pain and ruining a week of life but they can all easily be treated with bed rest, immunity boosting liquids such as water and orange juice and viral inhibitors.
