15 year old (female) wants cleaning appliances for Christmas?

January 25th, 2011

Would you say it was weird? They’ve got a list of:

-Dust buster (portable vacuum cleaner).
-Air freshener (strawberry scent).
-A scrubbing brush.
-More sponges.
-Cleaning products (dirt and grime cleaner).

If a parent buys those things for their 15 year old daughter, is it promoting OCD? Would you say this female is developing OCD?

I have a portable air conditioner and it stopped working. Please help?

January 16th, 2011

I have a portable air conditioner, a noma nf100 and the alarm came on and now it won’t turn on. I tried vacuuming the vents to get out dust but it didn’t help. I don’t know what to do but I am so hot in my house so any help is appreciated.

What vacuum should i use to clean my ps3 slim vents?

January 10th, 2011

Can I judge an air-pump's max. vacuum by it's max. discharge?

December 29th, 2010

I’m trying to buy a diaphragm pump to use with my pressure-pot for degassing silicone; the problem is that while nearly all the diaphragm pumps I come across list that they have hook-ups for both output and input, they only tell me what the maximum discharge value is, they don’t say anything about the vacuum.

So I want to know if there’s a way for me to know what the maximum vacuum of a pump is by looking at it’s maximum discharge pressure?

My other problem is that I’m trying to find a pump that can give me 29 inches of vacuum, which is a high level of vacuum (most of the portable vacuum pumps I find only go up to 27"), but when I look through conversion charts that I’ve found online, it lists 29.92 inches of mercury as a 0% vacuum, even though observation and experimentation tells me that 29 inches is a high number in terms of vacuum. So, what’s up with that?

Also, I’m confused by the listings for APSI in these charts, because for vacuums it only seems to run between 14.7 and 0, but when I’m adding pressure, I usually run it up to 45 PSI. So, first, is APSI the same thing as PSI, and second, what’s going on with that discrepancy in the numbers?

Can illegal immigrants get away with crimes?

November 25th, 2010

EVERYBODY NEEDS TO READ THIS: Near where I live, an ILLEGAL ALIEN gave birth to a baby in a portable toilet and left it to drown in urine and feces…..

The child was discovered Sunday morning by Dave Marshall, who went to clean the toilet for C.B.’s Portable Restrooms, near Hermiston. Marshall pushed a black plastic wand into the hole beneath the toilet seat to vacuum waste and felt something odd, said C.B. Kreutz, the company’s 62-year-old owner.
"He looked a little bit closer and he saw what he thought was like a doll," Kreutz said. "And of course, it felt kinda heavy. … He looked closer and saw that it had an umbilical cord."
Marshall and a co-worker summoned police.
Araceli Velasquez-Espain was arrested Monday on charges of aggravated murder, which potentially carries the death penalty; murder; first-degree manslaughter; second-degree corpse abuse; and criminal mistreatment. She is being held in the Umatilla County Jail on a federal immigration hold.
"She’s been a seasonal employee for us for some time," said Nina Pyle, the human resources director for Atkinson Staffing Inc., which provides farm labor in Oregon and Washington. In recent weeks, Velasquez-Espain had weeded peas or carrots at a farm near Boardman, she said.
No one at Atkinson was aware Velasquez-Espain was pregnant, and the company would have required a doctor’s note saying she was capable of working in that condition, Pyle said.
Government records show no legal resident of the United States with Velasquez-Espain’s name and date of birth. But she presented a Social Security card when applying for work at Atkinson three years ago, Pyle said.

THIS IS FROM TODAY!

REGION: Woman acquitted after baby found in toilet
By The Associated Press
Heppner A Mexican woman has been acquitted of a murder charge after her baby was found dead in a portable toilet near a field where she was working in Eastern Oregon.

The East Oregonian reported that doctors testified 22-year-old Araceli Velasquez-Espain did not realize she was pregnant or had given birth.

The doctors testified about a number of factors that contributed to her unawareness about the pregnancy, including her weight and unusually quick delivery.

An autopsy revealed the baby was alive when he was born last year.

Circuit Judge Jeffrey Wallace also acquitted Velasquez-Espain of all other charges in the case.

Can someone help with this pressure physics problem?

November 14th, 2010

An advertisement for a certain portable vacuum cleaner shows off its power with a photograph of the vacuum-cleaner wand suspending a bowling ball by the strength of its suction. The vacuum cleaner can maintain a moderate vacuum inside the apparatus at an absolute pressure of 3.53×104 Pa (against an outside atmospheric pressure of 1.01×105 Pa) when the intake wand is closed. The wand is a hollow metal cylinder with an inside diameter of 3.19 cm. What is the weight of the heaviest ball the vacuum cleaner can lift?

What can I use that is portable and can power a full upright vacuum?

October 5th, 2010

I need a portable way to plug in a full upright vacuum and be able to provide enough power for roughly an hour of use. I have considered a gas powered electric generator, however I was curious if anyone else knew of any other possibilities? Maybe an array of car batteries? It is not possible for me to plug the vacuum in to an electrical outlet connected to a building. I need a portable method.

Are illegal aliens baby-killers?

October 1st, 2010

This happened near where I live. And proof that Illegal aliens can get FAKE social security cards.

Morrow County’s district attorney has filed murder charges against a 21-year-old migrant worker accused of disposing the body of her newborn in the waste tank of a portable toilet.
It remained unclear today whether the baby boy died before or after it landed in a mixture of water, blue deodorizer and human waste.
The child was discovered Sunday morning by Dave Marshall, who went to clean the toilet for C.B.’s Portable Restrooms, near Hermiston. Marshall pushed a black plastic wand into the hole beneath the toilet seat to vacuum waste and felt something odd, said C.B. Kreutz, the company’s 62-year-old owner.
"He looked a little bit closer and he saw what he thought was like a doll," Kreutz said. "And of course, it felt kinda heavy. … He looked closer and saw that it had an umbilical cord."
Marshall and a co-worker summoned police.

"We’re very disappointed and saddened by the events," she said. Pyle said the company was cooperating with detectives, who were interviewing workers.
The portable toilet in which the newborn was found sat for a couple of weeks on a farm near Boardman, a Columbia River town about 20 miles west of Hermiston. The toilet, affixed to a trailer with wheels, was brought to C.B.’s for servicing last weekend.

Plastic Bags for Ammo Storage?

May 18th, 2010

I have a more than adequate system for storing ammo. GI cans in good shape (no rust, gasket intact), loaded with dessicant packs, stored off the ground in a climate controlled environment. My problem is that I need to optimize space. Currently, they are packed tightly with ammunition still in its original packaging. In most cases, this includes some kind of plastic spacer that takes up a lot of additional storage space.

I am not looking to mix and match brands (or even batches) by loosely storing them in a can. The obvious solution was to first store them in Ziplock bags, labeled, and then put them in the ammo cans. However, I’m concerned that the bags will capture and hold moisture. I don’t have a vacuum sealer, and don’t plan on buying one for this purpose. I’ve considered "poking holes" in the bags, but this sounds like a pretty poor option as I also hoped to make individual bundles more portable, and small holes tend to become large ones when pointy objects and higher weights come into play.

Do plastic bags actually trap moisture, or is that a myth/misconception? Does anyone else store their ammo in this fashion, and have they seen any problems with it? Is there some other solution that I’m just overlooking?

How to Deal With Spiders?

April 10th, 2010

I live in southern Ontario in a house that’s almost a year old and I’m still finding spiders. I knew when me and my parents moved in that there would be some spiders since the house was empty for a while before and because we have a swamp almost directly behind us but I’m still finding lots of spiders that just seem to be getting bigger and bigger x.x

Is there any safe way to keep these spiders out of our house? I haven’t seen any webs and I keep my room (which is in the walkout basement) pretty clean. I also have a slight fear of them and don’t like killing them (as well as other insects too), Most of the time I just use a portable vacuum but an hour ago I found a spider that was too big to fit/get sucked in.

Don’t tell me to get a cat or gecko because my parents wouldn’t let me and I have a dog (she won’t kill them because she’s pretty much like me xD)
