Okay, so I have a problem with my light for my tank. It's a 48" and holds two t-5 54 watt bulbs, I've never had to replace the bulbs until last month (I've had the light for 2 years.) Now every week it blows a bulb and I end up running to the petstore to buy another, it finally occured to me that it was a problem with the light.

I've taken it apart, but I don't really know what I'm looking for, or looking at for that matter.

Anyone have any ideas to what the problem might be?

Thanks in advance :)

My mom has a tracfone flip phone, when I call the number from my iPhone it goes to her, when I text the number sometimes it goes to her and let's me send it as a text. Other times it will only send as an imessage and goes to someone else.

I guess the other person has an iPhone with the same number?

Why does my phone randomly decide to send my texts as imessages so that they go to the other person?

Has this happened to anyone else?

I am hopelessly lost in chemistry class, I understand how to use the formula q=m*c*delta T until it comes to the end, in my workbook example this is the problem after you plug int he variables:

q=(5.0x10^3g) * (0.4521 j/gc) * (150.0 C-25.0C)

the answer is 280,000J or 2.8x10^5J

When I multiply that out I do not get the same answer, I get 282,562.5 which is close but not the same, what am I doing wrong? How do significant figures fit into this and how to you multiply a number by a scientific notation, I turned 5.0x10^3 into 5,000 first and then multiplied, is that how your supposed to do it?

THANKS IN ADVANCE :)

What are some bands that have something to say other than partying, getting drunk, or sad songs about breakups. I love imagine dragons, and yellow cards newest album southern air. Thanks for any suggestions :)

Okay, this happened to someone i know recently and we cant figure out why.

she gets out of bed, takes a shower, just like in her everyday routine, only today feels dizzy/lightheaded. So she sits down, and then passes out, regains consciousness quickly.

Then it was over, not dizzy anymore, feels normal just tired.

Anyone have an idea on why?

Someone quoted a bible verse the other day and it was talking about how we can't earn our way into heaven, hence "Take me there, for I cannot" but for the life of me I can't remember the reference.

Anyone know this one?

Thanks in advance :)

I bought a 6 pack of nestle pure life mandarin orange flavored water. So far, two of the bottles in this case have had green specks on the bottom of the inside of the UNOPENED bottles.

I assume these green specs are algea, but I have no idea how on earth algea could grow in a sealed bottle of water?

Anyone have any ideas?

I have a soon to be empty 36 gallon bow front freshwater tank, I'm going to move my fish to my 55 gallon, and I'm hoping to turn the 36g into a saltwater reef tank.

I really have no idea how a reef tank works, but I have a filter that sits on the back outside, it's for 30-55 gallon tank abd its aquenon brand. Would that work on salt water?

I'll tackle light and substrate later on, I'm just curious now about my fish options since my tank isn't very big. I love shrimp/crab like things, clown fish, mandarin fish, but I don't know the requirements for any of them.

Fish ideas? Favorite salt water fish for smaller tanks? Suggestions? Similar experiences? Thanks in advance!! :D

Ill be going to hilton head South Carolina beach and if I saw an aligator or shark on the beach or in the ocean with me I would probably just drop dead out of fear...

Anyway, I'd like to know before I get there how common aligators are on the beach, baby aligators, large ones, all of them. Have you ever seen one on the beach? What on earth would you do if you we're swimming in the ocean and you saw some aligator eyes looking back at you? They are much faster than you so unless they aren't hungry?

As for sharks, I've read the water is really murky and that there are probably small sharks swimming right next to you and you wouldn't even know..... Is that true, I mean, how common are shark attacks/bites?

I know I'm probably being a little overly paranoid but if I'm going to swim with this stuff... Lol, so thanks in advance for any answers ;D

My retainer broke and my teeth moved so my orthodontist made a stronger 'special instruction' retainer, it didn't fit, I tried to put it in, the nurse tried to put it in, the orthodontist tried to put it in, still didn't fit at all. So he sawed down my front teeth some and then jammed it in and told me to go home, not to take it off for so many hours, and to take ibuprofen.

I hurt so much I sobbed. The ibuprofen made it bearable.

I just wondered if this was normal, it doesn't seem like the best method to use to move teeth back in place, but I'm not an orthodontist so maybe it's the only method their is. Did anyone else's orthodontist do that? I've heard of orthodontists giving people a series of retainers to slowly move teeth, that would be another method that gives the same results right?

We think he may have eaten dead bird I saw in the yard before hand, but now 3 days later he's puked a total of 10 times and I have no idea what to do. He's had nothing but dogfood, he's a boxer, 2 years old if that helps. The bird though should be out of his system by now so I'm not sure what's going on.

I think my throat is swollen due to allergies and stuff, problem is, it constantly feels like theirs something stuff in the back of my throat and the only thing that seems to help is icecream......

Since I can't eat icecream all the time, what other things do you think would help?

Thanks in advance for any answers ;D

Okay, technically I need glasses, but my visions only blurry enough so that I can't read, and things are a little fuzzy far away. I can force my eyes to focus, far away it doesn't bother me, but if I do it for a little while up close I get a headache or migraine. Am I damaging my eyes or weakening them by forcing my eyes to focus instead of wearing my glasses?

I'm farsighted, I went to the eye doc about two years ago complaining of headaches and slightly blurred vision. He gave me a pair of prescription glasses, I wore them for a few months all the time, and I was fine, but I got annoyed with them and slowly stopped. I haven't worn them sense. Now I've been studying more, on my computer more, and my head aches are back worse than before. If I look at a computer screen for 15 mins my heads splitting, so eventually I figured I should probably be wearing my glasses.

I don't remember if the doctor said I should wear them all the time or not, and if I keep them on after I'm finished reading or whatever and I'm looking at further distances I can feel a little headache. I don't know if I've just irritated my eyes and head so they are extra sensitive or if I should take them off immediately after reading, etc.. The glasses aren't very strong at all, and my eyes required the right lenses to be stronger than the left. That's all I remember. Do I wear them all the time or is that bad? Have I made my vision worse by not wearing them for this long?

I read that black holes can form from collapsed stars, and that they are a large amount of matter condensed down in the center which is what gives them such a gravitational pull.

Stars, I don't think, have enough mass make a black hole with a gravitational pull extreme enough to pull in light. How does that work?

And how, when a star (or whatever) does collapse, why doesn't it just explode and fall apart, how does it get from point A. Collapsing star - to point B. Condensed matter.

How much gravitational pull is needed for something to be considered a black hole. Enough so that even light can not escape? Or can one's with less amount of pull not form?

I'm just curious :) Thanks for any helpful answers

I have two warts, I bought Dr. Scholls 40% saliycic acid wart remover. I've been using it for a week, my skin turned white on both. The one on my hand, I took the band-aide off this morning to see if it was gone yet, well, the wart fell off along with the skin over the surrounding area of my finger..... Then there was a little white flat doughnut shaped area with a brown thing int he center. I squeezed the brown thing out, trying to see what it was, and then it bled. I left the band aide off for a few hours and the white part when away. Now I have less skin and a scab on my finger, my question is. What do I do now? Is the wart gone?

My other wart, on the bottom of my foot, I can see a little brown dot in the middle of the wart, it's flat now, and the rest is white. Is what happened to my finger what is supposed to happen? Should I keep treating this one until the skin falls off and it bleeds?

Okay, limit the universe to the U.S. but what's the best, most awesome, reliable cell phone available now?

The skin on my face used to be really really oily and gross, so I have a lot of achne products to dry out my skin and it worked pretty well. Now however, my skin is really dry due to a gradual change it diet (i used to live on greasy foods.) The only time it ever gets oily is if I get really stressed out. It's flaky and dry and breaking out, I bought a neutrogena moisturizer for combination skin and it's keeping my skin hydrated, but I'm still broken out on my nose and I can't use any treatments that will dry out my skin. So what should I do?

My theory is that my sinuses are swollen..

I have this numb feeling in my head, like my whole head, of I touch head I can still feel it and everything so it's not actually completely numb, it just feels kinda tingly, heavy, and like someone filled my head up with something and it's about to explode.

Also,

Nasal congestion

Head ache

Nausea

Sometimes dizziness

Ibprofin helps but this is day 6, I'm ready to be rid of all this

Any suggestions appreciated :)

I read somewhere that the sodium content of the average can of pop can kill bacteria in your throat.

Is that true?

If so, why?

Just curious :)
