» Teeth whitening questions...?

Hi everyone. I'm going to have my teeth whitened soon. I need some help, though. What's the best kind of procedure? Our family dentist said that they can bleach my teeth in their office, but my mom says she wants me to try "Zoom!" teeth whitening. Which is better? I'm really not sure. Which will give me the white smile that I'm looking for...? Can anyone give me pros and cons for both procedures and, if possible, tell me which is better? Thanks...First off, your teeth will only whiten to a certain point and that's it. There is no guarantee to any specific shade. The only way to get movie star teeth is to do what movie stars do- get veneers. That said, in-office bleaching is a rip off. I can assure you o...... - 2009-07-04

» Can my roommates force me off our lease when it comes time to renew the lease?

I moved in with my roommates (a couple) almost two years ago when they needed a roommate to help pay the rent for our apartment in California. Now that they are both working and able to cover the rent, they want me to leave. Can they force me out if we're both legally on the lease? The lease is set to be renewed in March and I don't want to leave and don't think I should have to if I'm legally on the lease.Yes and no. If you submit your interest to stay on and they do as a couple, the owner may say that they'd like to give the couple the renewed lease as they can cover it by themselves. If you can cover the entire rent by yourself and you can prove this to the landlord, the owner may accept your application; but y...... - 2009-07-04

to everyone the sky is pretty much blue... if you look at things differently what color is it to you? and why?I dont think of it as just blue. It is a canvas. A masterpiece. Different hues and shades blended into perfection. One morning just walk outside and look up. Its not JUST blue. There is an array of colors. It is real-life da Vinci,Van Gogh.

Do you usually shoot with space around the photo so that you can print in different aspect ratios? I have been trying to shoot with the mind set that I won't have to do much post-processing. I don't usually print my work so the 4x6 aspect ratio is fine, but I just made some prints of some photos I took recently and now I am finding out that my great composition is getting ruined when I want to print a different ratio.Yes, I always "save" an 8x10 crop. It's the most severe. Leave a few inches either way, and you can crop to this.8x10 is actually a cropped print of 8x12... meaning.. if you order an 8x10 print from the lab, you are actually requesting an 8x12 with a crop to 8x10.

» Amaryllis question 10 points to best answer!?!?!?

You are supposed to turn the pots every so often to allow even growth. The flower stalk on mine is only 5 inches, though, and there are leaves only on one side. If I turn the pot, then the leaves will not get sunlight. What should I do? Should I turn it, and hope leaves grow on all sides? 10 points to best answer!I don't think turning it at this stage of the game is advised. Once a bulb begins to produce a flower, leaf production is curtailed.

» JETRO Business Japanese Test

Hi guys, seeing that the deadline for signing up this test is next week, I am just wondering if any of you guys took this test before, and if so, if you are willing to share some of your experiences with all of us. It seems like a logical test to take after the JLPT in order to show your competency at Japanese. Of course then there are those that just think that if you can speak it, you don't have to show any certification. The one thing that bothers me is that, while the test is fairly well-known, the application number is low when compared to the JLPT (less than 1/10th the number of applicants for JLPT worldwide). That begs the question of whether or not Japanese employers even know about this test. I took the level 1 JLPT in ...... - 2009-07-04

» AC/DC Power Converters - Does Amperage matter?

I have a question regarding AC/DC Power Adapters. I just purchased an LCD monitor w/out a power adapter. It officially needs a 12VDC, 3.5A to work. Will a power adapter that supplies 12VDC, 4.0A work correctly? Will power adapters rated w/ higher output AMPs work for applications that require less?Yes, a higher rated power supply means it will work in your application that requires less. In fact the spec for the appliance (LCD monitor in this case) is really an upper bound on current consumption; most of the time it may draw less current. The other compatibility issue is the DC plug, generally a recessed pin on the appliance that fits a round plug from the power adapter. There are a surprising number of variations.
