Voting Question: Name of a toy from a commercial?
Author: adminJan 31
Can anyone tell me the name of this toy I saw on a commercial a couple of weeks ago. I don’t know if it was one that you have to order or if you can buy it at a store. I just remember glancing at it when My child told me he wanted it for Christmas. It’s a toy you draw on, but it has 4 plastic squares and you can draw on each piece and slide them all behind each other to make one big 3D type picture. It may of had a light on it too. I’m not sure. Can anyone help??
Resolved Question: Who is the girl in the McDonald’s Coke glasses commercial?
Author: adminJan 31
The song “Colors” by Folded Light is playing. The commercial is shot through each of the colored Coke glasses so that the scenes are tinted by the color of the glass. There are 3 girls in the commercial, 2 are white and one is black (I think). I am trying to figure out the name of one of the white girls is who is prominently featured. She might be the cutest girl I have ever seen.
Voting Question: I’m having an anxiety attack for no reason and i can’t control it?
Author: adminJan 31
Hi I’m 15, a girl, and I’ve been having an anxiety attack for the past hour or so. It started when i was doing my essay that’s due tomorrow. My dad says I just need to relax, I was just worried about my essay. But the thing is, I was perfectly fine. Then all of a sudden my heart rate went up and I got that feeling like I can’t get enough oxygen. The only thing that satisfies me is if I breathe deeply every breath, but that makes my head light. I’ve been watching a funny show with my mom and dad and I calm down because I forget about it, but then at commercial breaks I freak out. I still have to do my essay and I don’t know how to sleep tonight.
How do I calm myself down? I don’t wanna like end up dying because I can’t get enough oxygen…
A month ago I had this EXACT same feeling and went to the ER and they checked everything, I was perfectly fine. But i’m just so afraid of dying please help
I’ve also had PMS for the past week so I don’t know if that could’ve caused the sudden anxiety?

Resolved Question: why doesn’t the US do something about their way they portray women?
Author: adminJan 31
Meaning, everytime you turn on the TV you see some half naked women on a commercial, or a tv show or a sport game. Then they wonder why the highest reported rape in all the world, in the US and UK. It’s cause they show women half naked all the time, and men are lusting everywhere.
In Islamic countries, women are rarely raped because women aren’t portrayed in the same light as the US.
So should not the law makers do something about that first instead of worrying about money and things like that?
men have been killed in Islamic countries for rape, I remember the story about one who was this year. So what are you talking about? Men don’t just rape women in Islamic countries, and since men have been killed for rape, that means that women do report it and men do get in trouble. It just doesn’t happen that much in Islamic countries cause they don’t really get raped.
now it is a shame to get raped unfortunately, but that I shall not speak about.

Author: adminJan 31

Open Question: Name of that Commercial?
Author: adminJan 31
Back in 2005-2006 or maybe around that era. I believe it was a commercial to do with insurance. There’s a person going in the car and the seat belt is automatic. It shows the sprinkler’s coming automatically on. And when the lights go off when it’s dark. So, it’s something to do with automation. I am looking to know who did the music in the background of this commercial, or the name of this commercial
Open Question: Does Dr Scholls Freeze away Wart Work?
Author: adminJan 31
Now i never really believe anything. Unless i actually see it.
So, just cause it says on a TV commercial that it works. I don’t believe it.
And i have a plantar wart and it is from hell.
The foot doctors don’t do diddly squat. all they are doing is shaving it down and putting on a 10x stronger sacylic acid cream. And she said 10 weeks or so. And i said F that doc. U went to med school for this? Pathetic. U would think they had a faster treatment. . . other than cutting it out. Leaving me with a useless foot for months cuz id have a friggin hole in it.
Then i tried putting duct tape over it. that didnt work that well. I kept shaving it down with a shaving razor or a potato peeler and i tried alot. i lit it with a lighter. I dunked my foot in bleach after i shaved the wart down. I bought sacylic acid from CVS. that didnt work either.
So yea. Im going to give this Dr scholls thing a go. Unless you guys say it doesnt work.
If u know some other treatment for Plantar warts thats quick and effective and i can see results in a week.
Like im at the point where i will get a blow torch and light the wart on fire or steal the strongest acid possible to human kind from my university chem lab and put some on my wart. im about to go crazy cuz of this thing. and i got 2. yes. not 1. but 2.
Open Question: What was the name of the horror movie where these guys try to create virtual actresses?
Author: adminJan 31
I remember a low budget movie in the late 70s or early 80s where these guys use a gun that can scan or hypnotize people. The victims had to look at the gun. The guys would use the gun to kidnap and scan models and actresses so that they could use the images without having to pay for the models and actresses. I believe the women were later killed. Scenes I remember include a virtual actress in a kitchen during a commercial, one of the bad guys getting “shot” by the gun by one of his buddies as they try to get this woman and the affect on the victim was to “freeze” them as if they were playing red light green light.

Resolved Question: Question about Magnet and inductors?
Author: adminJan 31
Well I have made my very little and very cute small toroidal winding machine! SO! Toroid cores are not only kind of expensive for their size! but also are hard to find in the material and size that I usually are trying to work with!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=kmWpJNehi1Q&NR=1
So you can see it! is is a poor mans mini toroid winder! and I’m trying to make a few heavy inductors with magnets out of speakers!
Also I’m trying to make a few joule thief’s and mini ballasts for lighting some small fluorescent bulbs! but no matter what I do! the ferrite magnets don’t allow the micro transformer to work! and even when I try to use them as inductors they fail to do it’s job!
Can some one tell me why Magnets shouldn’t be use in Inductors and more important in small transformer ballast ?
Resolved Question: How can I achieve my desired level of lighting in my bedroom?
Author: adminJan 31
I have 225 square feet of bedroom and I want to light it enough to look almost like bright daylight. I purchased a ’sunlight’ fluorescent bulb with 6500k temperature color and it is simply not enough brightness for the whole room. it is a 32 watt display(and bulbs). How can I know what I should buy next?
Voting Question: Fluorescent bulbs for turtles?
Author: adminJan 31
I want to know what bulbs to get for my turtle. He’s supposed to have a night heat bulb and a day basking bulb, and I want to know if there’s a fluorescent bulb I can use that can give him both of the lighting he needs.
Open Question: Why do I look super fat at school, but skinny at home!?
Author: adminJan 31
Many people say it’s fluorescent lighting.
Yeah, I’ve been affected by fluorescent lighting. It makes my skin yellow and ugly. My house has normal lighting while my school has fluorescent.
So yeah I have had to deal with ugly skin for about a year and a half now.
But now…I look fat under fluorescent lighting?
I honestly do not see how that works? I mean from skinny to fat…then when I get back home I’m skinny again.
Is it just the mirrors? Cuz in all of the mirrors I look fat except for one at the front of the school, I look skinny as I do in home.
Is it just the mirrors? Or the lighting? And do I look fat in school to everyone else?
Thanks guys, best answer 10 points!(:
Voting Question: I want to shave the side of my head?
Author: adminJan 31
I love the style when girls have half of their head shaved but I’m not sure whether to do it..
My hair is currently shoulder-length, naturally straight and it’s currently bright fluorescent purple, but I dye it a completely different colour every 6 weeks or so. My natural colour is a kind of light brown. I have a round face shape, but after Christmas I’m starting a diet which will also hopefully slim my face down a bit (I’m not fat, my cheeks are naturally chubby) so I’m not sure whether I’d suit it or if I was to shave it, to wait until I were skinnier.
I’m 16 and my prom is in June, which is another worry. I don’t know if I wanna be half bald for prom ahaha :’) so I was also thinking of waiting until summer, but then no one would see it for two months..
Basically, do you think I should go for it? :’) Or have you or someone you know had half of their hair shaved then loved it / regretted it? Oh and which styles are there, like how much would you recommend having shaved off? I quite like Leighann Pinnock’s hair but her hair is curly, and idk if straight hair would suit that style :’)
And also (so many questions aha sorry) how long does it take to grow back to, say shoulder length, if I shaved it then didn’t like it?
Resolved Question: How to position UV lights in bearded dragon vivarium?
Author: adminJan 31
I’m getting a bearded dragon tomorrow (my first reptile-type pet!) and I want to make sure I’ve got the lights positioned correctly in the cage. I’ve got the heat-lamp/basking spot in one corner, but I’ve also got two UV lights; the 2.0 and the 10.0 shown on this page: http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/linear_fluorescent_bulbs.php (both 36″).
At the back of the Vivarium there are two platforms, one about a third of the way off the bottom and the other about two-thirds up. Obviously, the higher platform is right near (though still safely out of the beardie’s way) one of the UV lights, but they’ll get a lot of exposure to it on the higher platform.
Basically, my question is: would it be better to have either of these lights nearer the higher platform so the beardie can have more exposure to it? Also, could someone kindly explain the different between the lights to me (I.e., what does ‘2.0′ and ‘10.0′ mean) so I know for future reference? Any other tips would be much appreciated as I want to be prepared for bringing beardie home tomorrow ![]()
Thank you in advance!
