Bloom refers to the slow rising of "essential oils" to the surface of a cigar. It first shows up as tiny (almost microscopic) crystals on the surface, and can eventually make a cigar look slightly "dusty" with a whitish finish on the surface. Not only is it harmless, some prefer to see a little bloom, as an indication of strong taste. Mold OTOH, is (ick!) a fungus, growing on overly humidified stogies.

Because colds and flu share many symptoms, it can be difficult (or even impossible) to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. Special tests that usually must be done within the first few days of illness can be carried out, when needed to tell if a person has the flu.

Although there are slight differences in body conformity, finclips are used to positively identify the strains of steelhead. This is why all steelhead stocked into Root and Kewaunee Rivers (brood streams) are finclipped. Knowing the strain of the fish prevents breeding of one strain with another.

You cannot differentiate between avian influenza and SARS by symptoms alone. Confirmation of diagnosis will depend on laboratory tests on clinical samples from the patient.

Some angina symptoms - such as chest pain, sweating, and nausea - may seem like a heart attack. Yet there are significant differences between these two conditions. Heart attack lasts much longer than angina (more than 20 minutes versus 1 to 10 minutes), and, unlike angina, heart attack symptoms continue even after a person rests. Heart attack is a very serious condition that results when a coronary artery in the heart is completely blocked.

Although most ants are recognizable, some forms of winged ants are often confused with termites, especially during the termite swarming season. The front pair of wings on ants is larger than the hind pair, while the four wings of termites are approximately the same size. Ants have "elbowed" antennae and a "thin waist" (narrow between the thorax and first abdominal segments).

Although many adolescents seem to have a tendency to experience mood swings, one can differentiate moodiness from depression. Much of the difference has to do with the length of time that “moodiness” occurs and whether the teenager’s mood interferes with his or her daily activities. Be aware that headaches and other physical and behavioral symptoms that the adolescent does not normally experience may be signs of depression.

Most people with IBS have intermittent bouts of diarrhea. Learn how to prevent it in the first place, and deal with it when it does happen. Cats and dogs can develop inflammatory bowel disease, and often have many of the same symptoms as humans. Abdominal surgery is common for people who have inflammatory bowel disease. Use these tips for recovering safely and quickly from abdominal surgery.

If you happen across some loose flashcubes without their box, it's certainly possible that you could get confused if you haven't seen them before. An illustration follows, but here's a quick rundown: regular Flashcubes: These have visible wire contacts on the base, and the base is usually either blue or yellow in color, but may be black or other colors. These will usually be labeled with the word "Flashcube" on the top. These were made by many different manufacturers.

The main differences between the different kinds of 914 are in the engine. Therefore, this is a good place to start looking. A Six will be obvious. It will have a pair of triple-throat carbs staring at you as soon as you open the engine lid. The fuel-injection system on the US-spec 1.8L engines is somewhat different from that used on the 1.7L and 2.0L engines. The air cleaner is over on the left-hand side of the engine compartment, and has the airflow meter attatched to it.

If your hose don’t come with a tag (which goes in the back), there are two telltale signs of the back of hosiery. One is the heel of the foot that can be seen and assures they are on properly. Occasionally, there will be a longer seam or thread that sticks out higher in the back than the front. Sometimes, there is no way to tell the front from the back and therefore it does not matter which way they go on.

With the new problem of CD-Recordables or CD-Rs, which cost only $400 for the hardware and $1 for a blank disc, RIAA has confiscated 23,858 illegal CD-Rs, as opposed to 87 in the same period last year. But, CD-Rs are easy to spot. These CDs are typically gold on one side with a greenish tint on the non-graphic or "read-only" side. Major record companies generally do not release products in this format, so consumers can be aware of the illicit recordings.

House and Senate bills are numbered in serial order as they are filed. House bills receive odd numbers (1, 3, 5, ???) and are prefixed by "H" or "HB"; Senate bills receive even numbers (2, 4, 6, ...) and are prefixed by "S" or "SB."

The distinction between key systems and PBXs is becoming less clear. Historically, you could distinguish between the two with a simple test: with a PBX, you must dial a number like 9 or 0 before dialing an external number; with a key system, that’s not necessary – you just dial direct.

Alpaca Summer Llamas are substantially larger than their 1st cousin the alpaca, but the most easily recognizable difference is the ears. Llamas have "banana-shaped" ears, where alpacas ears are straight.

Subadult and adult males are usually dark brown. They have a thick neck and large head with a “bump” or sagittal crest on the top of their heads. The crest starts to appear when males are about five years old. Females are often light brown or buff in color and do not develop a sagittal crest. When the animals are young (five years or less) it's extremely difficult to tell females and males apart, unless they lie on their backs and you can distinguish their genital openings.
