  • What effect do other herbs have on henna hair color?

    Hi, I've been using Henna for a while and I'd like to try experimenting. They say you can add certain herbs to henna to affect the color. They usually say what herbs you can use, but they never say what effect it will bring. Do you have some experience with this? I've read about using chamomile, black, green or marshmallow tea, orange, lemon or vinegar, but I don't know what it does. Please, if you know what effects these or other herbs/ingredients have on henna, tell me. I use Henné Color

    Thank you

  • How to filter all that noise from outside?

    Hi, I have to study really hard right now (actually the first real studying in my life) I have a weak or so left before my Maturita exam (something like A-levels in Britain or Abitur in Germany). I need air for thinking, but I can't open the window. They're building a house next to us, so I can sometimes hear welder screaming, under my window is a lonely dog, who keeps barking and howling, next to my other window is a tree with singing birds... normally i wouldn't mind that much, but with my constant studying, my head is hurting. A lot. I feel like by monday I'll hear the grass growing. Every sounds is annoying. What should I do? I can't go away from here, because I need my computer and I can't take breaks between studying, because I've been procrastinating until now and I'm left with too much work... All the noise brings me away from my studies and it's getting hard for me to concentrate. Please, help me

  • How to construct this circle?

    Hi, I know it probably has a simple solution, but I can't find it. Every time I manage to get something that looks like a solution, I can't apply it to a different situation. This is my problem (I'm sorry, if my translation from czech is sloppy, but I think the essence of the problem is preserved):

    There are given two intersecting lines a,b. Inside one of their inner angle is given point M. Construct the circle, which goes through point M and touches lines a,b.

    Please, tell me how to find both solutions.

  • Do you know any hairstyle with "mixed length" (I'll explain) for square face?

    Hi, I'm having a dilemma - to cut or not to cut my hair. I really like short hair and it looks good on me but I had to grow it long for a dance ball and I started to enjoy the fact, that I can do whatever I want (if the hair lets me to shape it), yet it's true I always have to do something with it or it looks weird. I'm concidering my options and I'm currently thinking about a hairstyle with different lengths - for example short on one side but long on the other - I hope you understand, what I mean. I'm not afraid of some extravagant hairstyle (not too extravagant) - but it can't be too hard to maintain. In fact, I don't want some simple hairstyle like everyone else - but I want to be able to look serious when needed (for theather etc.).

    If you know any good hairstyles like that for square face (or oval or even any other, it's not important that much), please post me a photo.

    Or if you know some cool hairstyle for sort hair.

    Or it would even helped me, if you knew some key words I could use to search for what I call "mixed length" - I don't know, how to look for it

  • Is there any quick search box for google chrome?

    Hi, Google Chrome is a great internet viewer, but I miss the quick search from Mozilla. I was used to just change it to "youtube" and drag the text I needed to it. I know there are ways to quickseaarch, but is there something more similar to the Mozilla box? My keyboard isn't always friendly so I would prefer somethng I could easily use while using mouse. Is it there somewhere?

  • When is the Once Upon a Time tv show supposed to end?

    Hi, I know it's a weird question about a new show, but I'd love to know if someone said anything about it's length. I really enjoy the show, so I'd like to know that it has a fixed number of episodes. I liked how BSG had a plan from the beginning to the end, but most of the shows have plan for a few first seasons and then it just misses the time when it should have stopped. Then you either watch it without really enjoying it or you stop and won't find out what happens to the characters. That's why I'd love to know, if OUaT has some fixed plan. It has a nice idea, yet it won't survive constant prolonging - most fairy tales are based on the same thing and if you watch them every week for way too long without a single happy ending it can get on your nerves. So if you have any information, please, share it

  • What are the best movies based on these books?

    Hi, I have to read some books for my Maturita exam (something like A-levels), but I don't have time to read it all. I'll read what I can, but for the rest I need some help. I've read some of these books, but I still need to remind them. Do you know, what are the best movie interpretations of these books? I don't want something like The Name of the Rose, that completely messed up the book, but something that follows the book. Please tell me, which of these books is safest to watch and which I have to read. Thanks

  • How to tell a friend to stop complaining to me?

    I have a friend who can see problem, where there is none. Sometimes, when someone says something negative to her she takes it as an attack and sees more than there actually is. Or when we're deciding something important in class and decide something she's not comfortable with, she keeps complaining to me even though she didn't do anything to change the result of what we were discussing. I don't believe that people, who can try and change the situation but don't do anything, have the right to complain. Yet she does. And with every single complain she comes to me. Every time the two of us are together I have to listen to this. My friends pity me, because they know her complaining and they know I have a lot more of it that they do. I try to explain to her the view of the person/people she's currently comlaining about. But it's mostly like trying to walk through a solid wall. I can spent the time in a more pleasant way that listening to her complaints, but I don't know how to tell her that I don't care what she wants to complain about this time. I'm the kind of person, who doesn't know how to say "no". I say what I thing only to people who I know that can take it - and she's not one of them. How to tell her that I don't want to hear her complains? Please help me

  • How do you call the "submarine illness" in english and how to overcome it?

    It's a psychical state, when you are in a tight collective all days and everyone starts to go on your nerves, but there's no way for you to escape the situation. Like in submarines, where you live with a few people for some time, but you're in the middle of an ocean, so you have nowhere to run. It mostly appears when you leave to some distant place with someone. I was wondering how it's called in english since I'm having these states a lot lately - I've been visiting the same school with the same people (well, it used to be 30 people, for last 4 years it's just 22 people, so it's even worse) for seven and a half years. They started to annoy me a few years ago and this year I didn't even want to go to school, because I knew they'll be there. I'm in my last year, so I know that I'll get rid off them in four months, but the closer the end is, the more I hate everyone. I get annoyed even when I don't see them. I think weekends and holidays make it even worse, because I have a fresh memory of time when I wasn't with them. Do you know how to stand another four months with people I hate, in a building I hate following the schedule I hate?

  • What's the name of this manga (yaoi)?

    Hi, I can't seem to find it again. There are two guys living together in an apartment above a sop. The shop keeper gives them some special and dangerous jobs. It's an action manga. I think one of them used to grow up with two male assassins (one fell in love with him, went to surgery and became a woman). One day, they got a contract to kill one policeman's family (the shopkeeper). They killed the wife and the boy wanted to safe her child, but the assassins didn't want to take care of two kids so they made him chose if dies or kills the child and gets to live. He threw the child off a cliff. At the end it shows up that the child survived, and reunites with her dad. -> sorry for the messy description. I can"t remember much about the other one - except that he was the one who was the initiator of their relationship (someone like Dee from Fake).

    They were both strong characters. I also liked how it didn't just focused o their relationship - there were also other plot (asignments) so it was well balanced. --> if you don't know this manga (or even if you do), but know some other with both characters strong and manly (like Fake), please, let me know

  • What other games start with the "death" of your character?

    I was just wondering if it's a new favorite beginning of a game or if it's just the coincidence that I "died" in most of the games I've played lately. It started with Dragon Age - I drank the darkspawn blood and passed out. Then I played Mass Effect 2 and my ship got ripped apart with me in it. Than I played Assassin's Creed and Altair got stabbed by Al Mualim. Now I started Skyrim, where I start as a prisoner with head on a chopping block. I still find it funny :) What other games like that are there? Is it just me or is this happening more often than before?

  • Do you know any good formal hairstyle tutorials?

    hi, I'm looking for some tutorial for good looking formal hairstyle. I'll be going to a ball and I don't want to go to hairstylist if possible, because their prices are ridiculous... I have rich hair, not hard nor too soft and it's mid-long. Its length now is to the shoulders, but I have it a bit layered (I decided in September to let it grow long). The ball will be at the beginning of February so my hair will grow a bit, but it probably won't be too long... I need some hairstyle that I or my friend can do and will look good. Please, if you know some tutorial, let me know

  • When would you buy a laptop?

    Hi, I want a laptop, but I'm not sure when would be the best time to buy it. I live in Czech Republic, so answers from those who know about prices in CZ are very welcomed. I know, that there are different actions and stuff like that in other countries, but there must be some time, when notebooks are cheaper. I read somewhere that around the beginning of a new school year are lots of discounts, off course before Christmas everything goes up etc. How is it in your country? When is it optimal to buy a new laptop?

  • What's so attractive about Hunger Games?

    Hi, I don't want to get into fight, but this keeps coming back to my mind lately. When I read reviews, people say how it's "sophisticated" "thrilling" "book with unexpected twists"... Where do they find it? The only unexpected twist I found was, that the author really had to use the simplest of ways to let both of her heroes live. There was no thrill for there was no "kill or you'll be killed" - all the heroin did was staying out of trouble and letting others do the killing. And the only sophisticated thing that comes to my mind is the way of keeping Katniss out of harms way - even in the way she killed - in affect or in mercy. My favorit kill was that poisoning by mistake. There's no point in mentioning the romance, because there wasn't any real one. So, what's so attractive about Hunger Games that so many people are fascinated by it?

  • Is it possible to reset img-numbers on Sonny Alpha 100?

    Hi, I've got this camera and a little problem. Picture numbers are always growing until it reaches 09999 and then it creates new folder and starts again. I know it's good, because when you take picture number 00050 and delete 00005, your next picture will still have number 00051. But my problem is, this counting continues even after I delete the camera's memory. Do you know of any way to reset these numbers when deleting memory? Please?
