Q: in ceramics in school, were designing pots. i was thinking of things i could put on my pot, and i asked my teacher if its ok to put pieces of mirror on my pot, because its going in the kiln. she said that it might melt, but i could try glass beads.
so, my question is, would mirror pieces melt in the kiln? and if so, why would mirror melt, but glass beads wouldnt? goesnt blass melt in house fires and things like that? and arent mirrors made from glass?
thanks!

Okay glass does melt in the molten stage. While materials such as "vaseline" glass are also glass-ceramics, the term mainly refers to a mix of lithium-, silicon-, and aluminium-oxides which yields an array of materials with interesting thermomechanical properties. The most commercially important of these have the distinction of being impervious to thermal shock. Originally developed for use in the mirrors and mirror mounts of astronomical telescopes, these materials have become known and entered the domestic market through its use in glass-ceramic cooktops, as well as cookware and bakeware.The crystalline component of thermal glass-ceramics, beta spodumene, has a negative coefficient of thermal expansion, which contrasts with the positive coefficient of the glass. Adjusting the proportion of these two materials offers a wide range of possible coefficients in the finished composite.Glass-ceramic is a mechanically very strong material and can sustain repeated and quick temperature changes up to 800 - 1000°C. At the same time, it has a very low heat conduction coefficient and can be made nearly transparent (15-20% loss in a typical cooktop) for radiation in the infrared wavelengths.
Hope that helps!!!

Q: you know when you have a pimple and its cleared up but not totally because there's like a red cirle there but you can't feel anything when you touch it? So it's like a flattened pimple? well I had those on like my peach fuzz area and on my nose for 3 years but it still didn't go away even with medicine? Is it a scar? will it ever go away?

It might be dry skin.Try to moisturize your face everyday and see if that helps, if not try to go to a dermotoligist. =]

Q: When you're about to wear your acne medication, SHOULD you wash your face before you put it on? Should you use hot water or cold water? because hot water will open it up so that if i put the medicine it'll like get rid of the pimple and make it go away right? but maybe if i use cold water and the pimple is already closed, then with the medicine it'll go away faster
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes you do wash your face before, i use cold because as you said hot opens up pores and i dont want to get anymore dirt in my pores than i already do. i use persa gel10 from clean&clear if you want something that works well. i hope i helped!

Q: hey guys... i get itchy down there ALOT...around my vagina area...does anyone know what the problem is? Is it because of pubic hair? Also what can i do to fix it?
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
its pretty normal to itch down there. something that works really well is vagisal wipes. all you have to do is wipe down there and the itch goes away. cheap too!

Q: 13/f
ok well i just recently started getting my period a few months ago...i've had like 4 or 5 so far. and whenever i get it, i constantly feel like i have to pee. that might not sound so bad but its like painful...theres like a pain in my bladder and vaginal area, ussually i have to sit in the restroom for hours for it to go away...i've even had to come home from school it's gotten so bad.
is this normal? and is there anything i can do to either make it go away faster or all together?
thanks!

OMG this is soo scary, i have the exact same thing! You probably have a Urinary Tract infection. Go to your doctor and get a urine test, i have the same symtoms and i had too much protein in my urine and thats what caused the pain. The doctor will give you some medication and you will be back to normal in no time!

You could get more into it or kiss his neck or just run your hands down his arms or back. That might help.

Q: I"m seriously doubting anyone can help me with my problems but here goes anyway. I have a daughter that just turned 18. She is so lost, she has given me problems since she was 11, well now shes 18 and her life consists of black men,crack and sleeping with as many as she can. She was recently disgnosed with a veneral disease and confessed to her oldest sister that she may of slept with a man who was HIV. She is a leading influence on her 13 yr. old sister who is following in her path as hard as she can. I"ve had to get the law to look the 13 yr. old twice this week. She is failing school and I can't reach her. She and her sister are so full of hate towards me, I;ve been called so many foul names, I can't take much more. I'm thinking of sending the 13 yr.old to boot camp. I tried to send my 18 yr. old last year, but they called me to come and get her because she was threating staff. I am a decent person, I dont drink, smoke, I work hard, I feel like its my fault, they are this way. I so depressed, I think it would be better to be dead sometimes, if I didnt have to keep watch on my 82 yr. old father, I saw a therapist once ,but they cost to much. what do I do?

I think you need to sit both of them down and just talk to them, no yelling, just sincere talk. That would help me. But as for getting them to stop acting out, thats a toughy. That's a decision they're just going to have to take. As for the boot camp, don't send her away just yet, that would make her rebel and cause more hatrid to you. Maybe research the internet on some consquences to what the 18yr old does and scare her out of it. That could help.

Q: I've never really done this advice and answer thing, but I've always wanted to and really need some advice from an outsider because it feels I can never talk to anyone about my problems.. Its just that me and my boyfriend have been going out for about 4 months and we are very serious. I really do like him and we really do have a great relationship. He makes me laugh alllll the time. And he shows me he cares about me a lot. Its just that he acts very immature sometimes and hurts my feelings a lot. I cry sometimes too. He kinda gets mad at me when I hang out with my friends because he feels like I'm ditching him. I would probably be mad too. Its just he never does it to me b.c we always hang out with his friends. B.c he's 2 years older then me. But its just, I really think that I love him. But he thinks of himself a little too highly. Like he is really really cute and he's the big hotshot on the fb team and baseball anddddd track. Not even joking. He's scores all the touchdowns, and is the best guy on the badeball team. And is county champs for track. Soooo what do you expect. His parents don't really like me that much either and they think we hang out too much, and I don't like them much either. he has threatened me all the time in going and hanging out with his old friends, so that is just what he did when I went and hung out wit my friends. B.c we got into a fight, He went to his ex grilfriends house and then after they went out. I do trust him and I don't really think anything went on, its just that it upset me . We had a big fight over it. But I think everythings alright. I do think he feels the same way about me, but sometimes I think he uses me to do stuff. If u know what I mean, in a sexual way. I don't want to make him sound like sucha bad guy, b.c he really is great to me. But he sometimes makes dumb fights about the stpidest thingsss! I hate it. But he's just does it for attention.. I usually get really jealous becuase he flirts sometimes and kinda talks about girls sometimes to get me jealous. But I think he's doing it on purpose. He's stupid like that. What do you think I should do. I really hope you can help me. Thank you so much

theres two options here, either you brake up or stay together. I suggest if her keeps on acting like this you break it off. what girl wants to be treated like dirt? even if the guys a big athlete star. Hes not worth it. Or ig you talk to him, tell him your feelings. If he does't respond then you have a clue that he doesn't want to take this relationship seriously. If you do stay together, have days apart. Like say Friday or something its you and his friend time. You can go to your friends house and he can go to his. Then when saturday comes around you guys can go on a date or what not. I think his parents would be very fond of that plan. Just remember this is up to you, give him atleast one chance and if he blows it brake up with him because he doesn't deserve you.
Hope i helped!

Q: Ok so.. my boobs have gotten smaller. It sucks. I've always been thin. I'm about 5'6 105 lbs., or something around there. I don't think i really lost any weight though, and nothing else seems to have gotten smaller. I also don't get my periods regularly. I got the first one about 3 1/2 years ago, so they should be regular by now. They skip months and always come at different times of the month. I just finished a period, but it had been the first one in a few months. I'm thinking maybe this has something to with my boobs shrinking? Help! Anyone know what's going on. I want my boobs back.

Definently see a doctor. Or ask your mom or friend or friends mom, anyone you feel comfortable with. They should have correct answers! Sometimes towards the end of puberty women's boobs tend to shrink.

Once you get older they should be less noticible. But for now, try to loose some weight. That helped my friend. Don't crash diet, just monitor your eating habbits. Instead of a big pizza, eat a salad.

13? Its okay just don't panic. Go out and buy a test, EPT. Or anything. If its negative, still take it a few more times, if postitive, DON'T panic. I'm here for you. I will not judge and helpyou through this. Since only 13, go to plan parenthood for some answers. Talk to your friends and find out who was at that party.

Q: The one I have currently was given to me by a friend, and it's getting dull so I need to buy a new one but I have no idea which brand I should get. Note, I'm a female and I shave my leg hair and armpit hair. Are there any razors that are suitable for both?
Thanks!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

The best razors for me were Venus, and Shick Quattro for women. THey both are for armpit, legs even pubic hair. They were realyl good and limit irritation.

This is hard. The only person who really knows your hair exactly is your hair dresser. Go ask them or another prefessional. They will have amazing result tips!

Q: ok so theres this guy thats been a friend of mine, but yesturday there were sparks, and stuff. we were hugging and kissing, but the thing is yesturday I was staying at a hotel by the beach, so I'm not sure if he just hasn't called me because he thinks I'm still there. But, I feel, i don't know, i guess kind of weird because once, this guy, not the same guy, another guy, came up to me and randomly kissed me, and so I thought he liked me, but he also requested me on myspace and stuff, but it turned out he was drunk, so I kind of felt stupid, so should I be worried if the guy is kind of quiet today?? I'm not asking because I'm desperate or anything, it's just because the drunk one left me nervous!!

No he might be quiet. But maybe this time you could make the first move! Show him you like him and like doing stuff with him.
Go for what you want.

Q: okay, well my mom and her boyfriend smoke. a lot.
i only visit on saturdays, but it drives me CRAZY because whenever i come home i smell like ciggerettes. and i dispise that smell. i don't like people who smoke that much either, because i have heart issues and i can't really breathe around it.
how can i try and convince my mom and her boyfriend to stop smoking? i already tried, and i told them how bad it is for you and everything, but they didnt' care. i WANT them to care. i hate this.
can someone give me advice on how to avoid this? or something?

Q: K well my friend said that she was talking to my boyfriend and he said that he was planning on kissing me soon. Me and him have talked about it and i told him that i really want to but i am just scared. I have never kissed anyone before and so i am like really nervous but i know that i want him to be my first kiss. i am just scared that i will do something weird or something like that. does anyone have any... umm tips/advice for me? and also, should i wear lipgloss or chapstick or just nothing? or what? cause im afraid lipgloss would make my lips too gooey! and if i didnt have anything on then i dont want my lips to be all chappy or anything! so any advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Guys hate lipgloss! Chapstick would be fine. Make sure to chew gum right before also. Nothing is worse then gooey lips with bad breath! LOL. As for tips, i was scared too my first time but when you're kissing, the instinct just comes to you. Trust me, you'll do fine. Go for it girl!!

Q: So when my parents split up i lived with my mom up until last year. I havent talked to my mom barely since that but my dad is an asshole ALL the time. I dont know... i really want to move back with my mom.. if i knew that she would still let me see my boyfriend and i would still be able to go out. But i dont wanna to move in with her and find out that shes gonna be a bitch and not let me see my boyfriend and not let me go out with my friends at all. What should i do because my dad is an asshole ALL the time.

I think you should call your mom and talk to her about your feelings and thoughts. Say you would love to live with her but you still want to have a social life. I'm sure she'll undrstand. Don't yell and scream, treat the situation maturely. As for your dad, tell himwhy you want to live with your mom.
--Natalie GOOD LUCK!

hi. my name is natalie, im 17 and im really good advice giver, all my friends say so. I've been through a lot so i can probably relate to you. Ask me anything, i wont judge or laugh just be honest.
I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure--which is:
Try to please everybody.
really just express yourself and dont care about what others think, its a waste of time and they're opinion is not as important as yours.
i truly hope i can help.
