Very helpful tool :D

advice

i need to creat project for my assignment.. what project should i creat.? the project need a scope, objective, problem statement, and also a diagram.(inheritane usecase, class, collabration and stead diagram).. give me some ideas.thx

well, you see. I think it would definelty help if you tell us the class you are doing this for and maybe give a little more information. Because with the info you have provided, it doesn't seem like you will get many helpful answers.

I've been riding for 6 years, and recently I've been riding a horse who takes big spots and has a big, round jump. Everytime he launches, my jumping position is awful. My legs swing back, elbows are close together and not released enough, and my upper body gets thrown forward. What can I do to fix this? What should I tell myself to do while I'm riding? Thanks!

Ok, I'm 18/m and have an excess amount of fat around the mid section. Currently I am living on my own, have been for about 2 years now and have never felt more alive and well. Heres my problem, my gf is about to have her prom, and I wanna look my best for her as she is going to try to look her best for me. I have never had abs, this is, in my mine, one of the best looking thing a guy can do for his body is have abs, now, to my question. How can I get abs? Currently I alternate sit-ups 150 one day and rest then repeat and have been doing this for about 1 week now, i ride my bike to work every day except on my day off, work is about 5 or 6 km away, takes half an hour each way, but my diet isn't that great. I was also wandering what kind of foods would be good for losing fat from my midsection. Also any other excersizes(sp?) that could help are greatly appreciated, thanx.
P.S. I live in Canada

but remember. To get good abs you have to keep making the exercise/work out harder and more intense. Otherwise you body will get used to it.

Best of luck!

i've gained a lot of weight since i got my period in like 8th grade.. (i'm a sophmore now) and i'm getting really frusterated because i used to be one of the skinniest girls in my grade and now i'm just average. any tips on how to lose weight? like specific diets? or other exercise tips?

i'm planning on running almost every day as soon as water polo is over.
i know i need to eat healthier-- it's just really hard.
i have a really flat stomach (i have like an outline of a six pack). but i also have really big arms. most of it is muscle (because i do gymnastics) but i want to get them skinnier and more toned instead of just looking big. i also need to lose weight in my thighs and hips and butt. so any good exercises for that?

THANKS SO MUCH!

my friend is getting me so mad. she talks to this kid, who doesn't even live in our city, he lives like a couple towns over or something, and when shes home alone she'll be like, i should invite him over. and the first time she met him she madeout with him a bunch of times and im sure other things that she wont tell me. i hate girls like that. i mean im not weird and prude, but im not a whore either. and im sick of hearing about this guy, hes so ugly and mean. whenever she brings him up, i have to act like a care, and not get mad. what do i do? i dont know how to handle this problem. oh, and theres alot more to it. if your interested in knowing all of it, tell me when you answer this question, and ill send it all to you.

Well, it doesn't seem fair that you should have to hear about him all the time. And since you said that she's your friend you should be able to tell her to get stop talking about him all the time. If my friend talks non-stop about something I tell them that I've heard enough and truthfully that I don't care. You can tell your friend that. There is no reason for you to listen to her when you don't want to .

ok im overweight. im about 158 pounds and im 13. i dont really look fat unless i wear tight clothing, im not like the people that have a double chin or rolls that stick out.

so my question is, how do i lose weight before june 14? like i want to weigh 120 and look good in a tankini. i dont really want to do heavy excercising

here is a question I answered previously regarding the same topic.
http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=536463
please look at it.

and one more thing. Loosing weight takes time. You might not get the results you want in one month because it could even take several months for you to see significant change. But, if you keep it up then it will happen.

Best of luck!

okay so im in 7th grade and im 13. were going on a class trip to an amusement park and everyone is going to ride the roller coasters.

i want to too, but theres a problem. how come whenever the roller coaster drops, i cant breathe? like the air goes up in my face and like it feels like my face is being pushed back and that im holding my breath.

how do i prevent this from happening? are there ways that help me breathe on roller coasters? why does this happen? i'm sorry for the multiple questions but i really need the answers before i go on the field trip!

You are not the only one. Lot's of people have this problem. Some people are scared, others just can't take it. Actually for me, I can't scream on a roller coaster. When it drops, all I can do is gasp. I don't know why that happens. Some people can't take the pressure. I'm sorry to say that there really isn't anything you can do. Either don't go on the really "scary" ones or try not opening you mouth or maybe even turn your head to the side.

What should I do? I can't take my family anymore. No one talks to each other...I'll elaborate in steps of a typical night:
1. I get home from school.
2. Mom gets home from work (comes in says hello and thats it)
3. Brother gets home and tells me to F!@# myself and calls me a "homo"
4. I go up to my bedroom because of them
5. Step dad gets home, goes into basement... no one says anything to him but my mom... about five minutes later he'll be on his blackberry, emailing people from work
6. Everyone goes to their own part of he house Me: my bedroom Brother: his room Mom: kitchen/bedroom/goes out Stepdad:basement (Tv)
I can't do it anymore we're so isolated. What should i do
PS ive tried a lot already and mom uses the exscuse that i figh with her so she has no desire to talk to me.

Well, I have to say that it really seems that you have tried really hard to make this work. You are keeping your grades up to show that you are doing good in school and you try to talk to them. But, obviously since they treat you all strange you can't "hang out" with them.

SInce it seems like you have trued for the longest time I would (as a friend) tell you to just leave your family be for a while. Go out with friends and ignore them for a while. It seems that even if you wish to be a family, that's least of their concerns right now. You don't want to get upset everytime you try to make things better. So I would just say, forget about it for now. Leave them alone, have have fun somehow.

Now, that is what I would tell you if I was your best friend, but this other advice is from a normal person that doesn't know you. You can ask your mom why you guys don't do anything as a family. Like normal things families do and how come everyone is so separated. But, considering that your mom sometimes wants to be alone, this might not be the best thing to do. You might have to wait for a good mood for this one. Or since you get in fights with your mom, how about write an email to her explaining this. Then see how she reacts.

You know, I really think that everyone in your family is going throught something and it seems that they are taking it out on you. Chill for a while. Ignore them. Focus on your friends, your grades, and your life.

Best of luck :)

are these reasonable prices for a 14 year old girl trying to raise some money for a cause? and if you have any other ideas to raise money (dont say walking dogs.. never really had an experience with pets like that) SHARE! also include how much i should charge. and dont say something like shoveling snow.. cuz its a bit too late for that. and no washing cars either. LASTLY: DONT JUST GIVE ME A WEBSITE, UNLESS IT SHOWS THE PRICES OF SERVICES A 14 YEAR OLD COULD DO IN HER NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL. NO BAKE SALES..STUFF LIKE THAT.

$3 per day: watering your plants (when you are away, or have no time.)

$10 per hour: helping with other gardening needs (excluding mowing your lawn.)

$10 per pet, per day: taking care of your pet during vacation (pets that stay in cages or tanks.)

$10 per hour: tutoring kids in math (any grade, up to grade 7. I have been in Advanced Math since the 3rd grade, and have always been getting A and B grades with the subject. I am particularly good at teaching Algebra to kids who could use some tutoring. Must at least be 6 years old to be eligible)

(thanks btw for answering =])

I think the prices are good.

But, for the lawn work, I would addjust it to work you will be doing. Like if you were taking weeds out, it could be more because that's hard work and less for say watering plants.

Also, what's your cause that you are making money for? That would help with other ideas.

Recently I got a minor tooth ache. Its not uncommon for me because I'm 16 and my wisdom teeth are taking their dear sweet time coming in...but I decided to take out a compact mirror and check out my tooth anyway. Well...it looks like I have a cavity. I have a little black spot on TWO of my upper back teeth. I think the pain was my wisdom teeth...but yeah.

I haven't been to the dentist in YEARS. So long I can't even remember how old I was or what I was there for...I'm really scared of getting a tooth pulled.

I don't know how bad a cavity is that you have to have it pulled so I have no idea what to compare what I have to...and I'm sooo freaked out.

Does anyone know how bad a cavity has to be before it gets pulled? I tried looking it up but I can't seem to find anything useful....

Thanks in advance >_

well, truthfully the only person that could answer those questions is the dentist.

Yes, getting your tooth pulled out will hurt (I'm not going to lie). But, it's okay. I wouls highly suggest going soon because it can definetly get worse.

this link talk all about it and what will happen as a cavity gets worse

Okay, so I just got braces on the other day. I really want to have the whitest, cleanest teeth possible with these braces. I've been brushing after every meal, and flossing too. I want to know everything about everything to do with keeping my braces and teeth clean. How should I brush? How often? Also, on my bottom front teeth, behind like 3 of them, it's really kind of yellow and then one or two of them has like, this white outline that looks like food. I've been brushing there for the past 3 days but it's not going away. What is this?? Will brushing make it go away soon?

Okay, so I've had braces for a while and let me tell you a couple of things.

First off, I brush like three times a day. I make sure I get rid of any "gunk" that could be in my teeth. Flossing is good too. There are also special brushes that are made to clean between the braces wire and the teeth. Ask your orthadontist about that.

But, it's really hard to keep them white. Everyone gets a little yellow tinge with braces because a tooth brush can't reach everywhere.

Don't worry. Just keep them clean and they will be fine.

Try these searches. They brought up some great results.

Happy early b-day for you dad!

I'm considering doing purple in my hair, with some light color. My hair is thick and naturally auburn/red. I also have very pale skin & freckles. Can anyone give me some advice about what not to do and what will look best? Thanks so much!

The best thing I could tell you would be to go to a salon and ask them. If it is your first time, then tell them so. Ask them what would look best based on their experience. They can be very helpful because they have seen what looks good on some and bad on others.

Hope it turns out well.

see, i used to like this guy. he flirted with me, but i didnt think that he woudl ever like me because im way yougner than him. now, hes starting to flirt even more, and starting to tell me that he likes me a bit, and hes deciding about the girlfriend relationship. i never really said anything about girlfriend :S its been pretty weird, for me, lately, because like, he would text me "hey pretty" and stuff like that :S

i just dont like him, and honestly, i plan on telling him on chat, so please tell me what i should say.

Next time he does this simply tell him "I think you are getting the wrong idea" or "Sorry but no" or "Please stop" the sooner you tell him the better. :)

ok to make a long story short i sprain a joint (i guess is basically my ankle if it is tell me in yur answer) and the doctor put me on crutches and an aircast its doesnt hurt that bad to walk on it but im supposed to stay off it for a week (i get off this comming up wednesday) ive been walkin on it with the cast but not the crutches and everyone is telling me thats bad will it make it worst or what
p.s. if it helps on a scale of 1 to 10 of pain its like a 3 1/2

Well, obviously it has to be something seriousish for your doctor to give you a cast and cruthes. You should ask your doctor if it is sprained or what hapened to it because it's impossible to tell by you asking a question.

Another thing, please use your cruthes. They are there for a reason. They make sure that no pressure is put on your ankle and not wearing them could do further damage to it. (I knew a friend who did that, only with her knee. She didn't wear cruthes the next day and then the next week she hurt it again because it could not proparly heal.) So please, don't do further damage to your body. I know you want it to get better and the only way that will work is by you giving the ankle the best environment for it to heal (cast and crutches). So those people that are telling you it's bad are actually right. Don't be annoyed by them, listen to what they are saying.

Oh and the pain is still pain even if it is minimal. It won't get better and might even get more painful if you don't cooperate.

best of luck :)
