  • What is this jewelry clasp called?

    I've been searching everywhere but I can't find what the clasp is called. Well, I don't really mean just the clasp, but the whole gold piece that clamps down onto the bracelet. I know the clasp is a lobster clasp but I need to know the other gold part. Thanks!

  • How to attach paper flowers to a gazebo?

    I make paper flowers and sell them on Etsy and I received a message asking for a large order of the flowers to be attached to a gazebo for a wedding in Jamaica. I have no experience with this whatsoever and I was wondering how they would be attached to the gazebo so I can get an idea of how to make them. I usually make them with stems to be put in a vase, but I don't think the stems would work in this situation. The flowers are individual flowers, not like a garland. I'd appreciate it if I could have some ideas on how to attach the flowers to the gazebo. The clients want the entire gazebo covered in the flowers with no post showing.

  • Algebra 2 Homework Question?

    "Write three equations in three variables for each problem. Then solve using any method of your choice."

    The sum of the digits of a three digit number is 11. The hundreds digit exceeds the sum of the tens digit and the units digit by 1. When the digits are reversed, the new number is 396 less than the original number. Find the new number."

    Okay, well I already have my solution but I used the trial-and-error/guess-and-check method. The directions instruct me to write three equations; I only came up with 2.

    These are my equations:

    x + y + z = 11

    x = y + z + 1 (or) x - y - z = 1

    My work (using elimination):

    x + y + z = 11

    x - y - z = 1

    -----------------------

    2x = 12

    x = 6

    - x + y + z = -1 (multiplied entire equation by -1)

    x + y + z = 11

    -----------------------

    2y + 2z = 10

    2y = -2z + 10

    y = -z + 5

    This is where I did my guess and check; luckily my first guess was right.

    y = -(2) +5

    y = 3

    z = 2

    x+y+z = 11

    6+3+2 = 11

    reversed is supposed to be 396 less than 632

    632 - 396 = 236

    I am not sure how to get my third equation. I am thinking it has something to do with the 396 statement. Someone help? Thank you.

  • Help - Dropped Curling Iron in Sink!?

    Yesterday I plugged my curling iron into my bathroom plug. I washed my hands before getting ready to curl my hair, so the sink was half full with water. I grab the curling iron and accidentally drop it into the water right before I touch it to my hair. We went outside to turn the power off and I unplugged the curler. It was burning hot even after 15 minutes of being in the water, so I don't think it automatically turned off or shut down. I am still wary about plugging it back in because of electrocution. Is sit still safe to plug it back in and continue using it? If it doesn't work, I can get a new one but I just want to try and use it again. Will it injure me if I plug it in? Thank you.

  • Yellow crusty patches of skin on scalp?

    I just came back from a day at Soak City celebrating my friend's birthday on Saturday. Yesterday I touched my head for whatever reason and it was wet on top. Thinking it might be blood, I looked at my fingers but it was just clear liquid. I had taken a shower the night before so it couldn't be water. I didn't think much about it so I just continued with what I was doing.

    Around 4 hours later I touched my head again and I felt a small patch of dry crusty SOMETHING on my head where it was wet. I picked at it and took it out (gross, I knoow) and it was yellow crusty stuff. It wasn't all over my head just an area on my scalp near the back but still on top. As usual with picking scabs and that kind of thing I kept picking at it because I didn't want it on my head. After I picked it all away a few minutes later my head started throbbing and I got a headache. I took two Tylenol pills and went to sleep.

    This morning it was better and I felt my scalp again and it was there again. I picked it again which probably wasn't smart. It doesn't throb but when I touch it it feels sore. My mom says that it might be from the chlorine in the water from Soak City. What is this and what should I do about it?? Is it serious? Thanks for your help.

  • What is the name of the site that shows you all locations of a photo?

    There was this site that I went to before that showed you all of the locations of a photo. You would give the link of a photo or upload it onto the website and it will search for all the places on the whole internet that the photo was uploaded and it would show you the results. This was very helpful since it could help find out if someone was impersonating someone else or lying about something. I don't really remember but I think the website's name had "steel" in the name. Thanks in advance.

  • What is the name of this song?

    I heard a song on 89.7 KSGN one day about an old man in prison who lived there for most of his life. He was asking for forgiveness for the things he had done in the past. It's a Christian song, and there were both males and females singing, which makes me believe it's possible that it's by Hillsong. The song went around like "I love you the way you are" or something. Not sure... but all I know is that he was in his prison cell praying for forgiveness. Sad song. Does anyone know?

  • Can Sony Vegas 9 Files Be Imported Into Vegas 8?

    I used the Sony Vegas 9 Trial off the web site to see how it was different from Vegas 8. I decided to make a project with the 30 day trial. Now that it has expired, I want to import this project I made into Sony Vegas 8, to finish it. When I import the project, it says "Error: This file is not supported." Does this mean that SV9 projects can't be imported into SV8? They have the same file type (.veg), but it isn't importing!

  • How do you take a dull pen tip out of a tablet pen?

    So my pressure on my tablet hasn't been working lately and I'm thinking that its because of the very dull pen tip (it's a habit to press hard , I guess.) Anyways, my question is how do you get the super, super dull tip out of the pen. I tried to use the tweezers that came with it, but it doesn't work, because it sinks back into the pen when pushed. I used my teeth, but it is too stubby and my teeth are too big. Now I am trying standard tweezers.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks for your help.

  • Best Ulta Makeup/Skin Products?

    All right, so I asked for best Sephora products, now I'm asking for the best Ulta products! I am thinking about going to Ulta too.

    I have fairly light skin, and I have mild acne. I have dark brown eyes and full lips. I don't know if this info is important or not... so, o:

    I'm looking for good quality, low-priced:

    Face wash (remember, I have acne-prone skin)

    Moisturizer (I was told that you can get good drugstore moisturizer)

    Foundation (I have fairly oily skin)

    Bronzer

    Blush (strictly light and natural looking! No wild or bright colors, and preferably pink-ish)

    Eyeshadow (preferably kits possibly under $30, no wild/bright colors)

    Anything else you highly recommend, please post it! And give me a wide variety of eyeshadows to choose from! I'm giving you choice- I have no preference for colors (except not wild!!)

    And ALSO! Tell me if you prefer Ulta or Sephora and why! Thank you!

    ----

    Also, I am doing makeup on my friend, and I want to know what kind of makeup she needs (what she'll look good with). She has green/semi-blue eyes (More green though!).. somewhat thinner lips, and mild acne between the brows. She has a small chin. Blonde hair.

    She doesn't usually wear that much makeup, and I was wondering what colors would look good on her and how to enhance her beautiful eye color (she doesn't like wearing mascara). Also if I can find these things for her at Ulta or Sephora. Thanks!

  • Best Sephora Products?

    Hi! I'm going to Las Vegas tomorrow, and sometime this week I will be visiting Sephora in Vegas for the first time, and I need some tips on what to get. Keep in mind that I don't want to spend a ton of money, but I am well aware of Sephora's price range.

    What I need is:

    Blush (preferably mineral or liquid; preferably a light pink color, nothing too harsh or bright)

    Eyeshadow (brand? since there are so many different colors, maybe you can tell me some of your favorites)

    Moisturizer (I have oily skin if that helps)

    Sorry if I'm not exactly extremely detailed, I just want to know what's good and what's not. I don't really care that much what color it is as long as it's not too wild or bright.

    Thanks for your answers.

  • Where can I find a top/dress similar to this?

    http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/juniors/dressesand...

    I really love this kind of dress, except I don't want that kind of pattern, and if possible, to be not as low-cut.

    Another look to see what I'm talking about is here:

    http://www.erinsanders.com/photogallery/Big%20Time...

    The dress on Spencer Locke, the girl on the far right. Her hair is covering most of the top, but you can somewhat make out what it looks like. If not, here's the video:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pA3n1S4084

    0.19 is where you can see the dress. It's not the best quality, but it's the only video I could find.

    If you could point to a website or place I could find more of these, that would be great... thanks!(:

  • I need to know what each port on the left side of the mac is for.?

    I've searched everywhere, and I could not find it out. Can someone tell me what each port on the left side of my Mac Leopard os x is for? I know the leftmost is for the battery charger, and the 5th and 6th are for USB. I'm pretty sure the second port is for ethernet (has a symbol of two dotted arrows going opposite directions). The 3rd icon is of a horizontal rectangle between two vertical lines, and the 4th icon is of some sort of figure that looks like a Y. Thanks if you can help.

  • When I start up Vista it takes me to the Welcome Screen then it turns black. Help?

    One morning I woke up and I heard my computer running. I normally put it on sleep for overnight and occasionally I shut it all the way down. But this one morning it was on and I remember putting it on sleep the night before (it was probably my dog or an earthquake I must've slept through?). So I turn my screen on and there's a window that said:

    "explorer.exe- Application error.

    The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022). Click OK to terminate the application."

    And then I press OK; after that another window pops up saying something about Windows Explorer not being able to load... But, behind the windows that popped up was a blank, black screen. I didn't have my start up button or the bar at the bottom that says the time/programs in use. Just all black. All I could see was my mouse cursor.

    I had this idea to do ctrl+alt+delete to start up task manager. And that is how I can have access to the internet. But a lot of my programs are not working (eg: iTunes, MSN, rendering issues in Sony Vegas, and all the windows programs). The programs I have found to be working is Photoshop, Paint tool Sai, Internet, etc.

    I really need help to fix this or I might have to take it into Best Buy.

  • How do you fix the speaker when it "booms" or "breaks"?

    This past week, I was listening to iTunes music -as usual- And a "boomy" song came on and my speaker started "breaking" I can't really explain what it does. Like it makes this unbearable sound so the song is not smooth and it "booms". I can't enjoy my music anymore. Also, the speakers are about 8-10 years old. Help please.
