Does anyone know where to buy Neff cupcake beanies?

Full question:

Victoria works for a cellular phone company. One of it's towers in the pincher creek area of southern Alberta needs some 'guys wires' to support it in the powerful winds. The tower is 40 feet tall and meets the ground 90degrees. The guy wires must reach the ground at a distance no greater than 9 feet from the bottom of the tower. What is the longest wire that Victoria needs?

Best answer:

w = √(40² + 9²) = 41 feet (assuming there is no allowance for attachment fittings)

Crawdad help?

Full question:

I found some crawdads in the creek, and I was thinking about putting them in my fish tank with 5 other fish, but will they eat them, and if they do I might put them in a different tank, so what do I feed them, and how many should I put in a tank? Also if they lose a pincher will it grow back?

Best answer:

they will eat tour fish and you should feed them worms grubs and other small creatures in the creek make one side of the aquarium low on dirt so they can make borrows but not to low the other side higher and put the worms and other food over on that side if it loses a pincers it will not grow back and a 10 gallon tank can hold at least 2 crawdads ok

Do you think this is fair?

Full question:

Today I walked my cat on a leash along the pathway at the local creek. A dog owner walked towards me with his large black Doberman Pincher unrestrained. I saw them from a distance, picked up the cat in my arms and stepped away from the path 5 meters over towards the fence on the other side of the pathway, and the dog owner clearly saw me pick up the cat and walk aways from the path. The unrestrained dog kept running over towards me and the cat on my arms. The cat got very scared because the dog was so close, and in its fear of the dog the cat scratched me. I yelled over to the dog owner to call his dog back and put it on the leash. He didn't, and so I told him politely that it is law that all dogs must be restrained on a leash when walking in public. My cat was frantic and out of his wits because the dog was so big and so close. The dog owner was rude and said I should not walk my cat there in the first place. When he walked away his dog was still not restrained. I calmed down my cat, but I was so upset because the dog owner refused to call back his dog. Under normal circumstances my cat is fine with dogs when they are on a leash. He will just sit down low and wait for them to pass. But this dog was unrestrained. How can dog owners be so ignorant? He could see I was struggling to hold my cat. What would you have done? The dog owner refused to give me his name, so I am unable to report him. But I wrote a letter of complaint to the local City Council asking them to run a campaign for dog owners to keep their dogs on leash whenever they are out in public area. Cat owners should have the same right to walk their cat in peace as dog owners walk their dog. What do you think? It could have ended far worse than it did. I live in a suburban area with adjacent park land and cemented pathways along the local creek. My cats are both used to walk on a leash and they love it. It takes a lot of patience to walk a cat that way, and you have to have the cats trust exclusively, as well as you must understand cat psychology, and cat nature otherwise it does not work. Some breeds are easier to walk than others. I have a Siamese cat and a Ragdoll cat, they have accepted it very well, but it takes time. myfavour... The reason why I walk my cats is because here cats must be confined indoors due to City Council regulations. So the only way my cats can enjoy nature and fresh air is if I take them out on a walk. I accept that and walk my cat, they both love it, and it is not uncommon these days to walk a cat on a leash. Even if I disregarded local laws and let my cast free outside, my cats would still not be safe as we have a neighbor with a dog that kills cats. If I let the cat oustside free he will jump fences. But I take very good care of the cats, and they love their daily walk. Glenda... the reason why I did not report him is that I don't even know his name, so have no idea who to report. He refused to give me his name, so I am kind of at a loss here. Unfortunately there were no witnesses. A couple of people walked past, but they did not see the event. In future I will carry my camera with me. Pictures don't lie. I don't want to harm the dog either, it is just an animal and can't help himself, it is the owner that is a fault. Mace or pepper sprays are illegal to own, use or carry, and there are high penalties for being in possesion of that.

Best answer:

Check your local laws to see if you can carry mace and if the dog owner has his dog lose and is coming at you, spray it and report him for having a lose dog. You are going to want the mace that is a foam, not a spray. Foam is far less likely to blow back on you or your cat and the stuff sticks to its target. I don''t agree with any one who allows their cat to roam then justifies it with lame excuses. Cat's can be walked on leashes just fine. In this case it was the dog owner who was at fault, his dog was unleashed and he didn't do anything to call the dog back. I do walk my cats on a leash as well and carry foam mace with me just in case of some idiot with a dog who doenst have their pet on a leash.

I just need to know....?

Full question:

I have these bugs that get in my house sometimes. There are black with a hard shell like body. It looks like they might have wings. They have what looks like 6 legs, antennas, and two pinchers on the nose of their body. I live in SE Texas if that helps at all. And I live in a nice neighborhood, with no woods around, but we do have a creek behind our house. Help! I don't want to see pictures, I just want to know what it is!! And why does it have those PINCHERS!! :\ Krazy 4 Kandy you didn't even answer my question.... please don't use this to get points. I will award the best answer with 10 points. Thanks

Best answer:

It could be a variety of insects. One such type are Boxelder Bugs. Keep in mind that it should not bite you. The pinchers on the snout are probably to eat leaves or bark. Even though you are not in a wooded area, many insects know no man-made boundaries. They can burrow, fly, and stowaway themselves into your home.

What could this dream possibly mean?

Full question:

I'm usually pretty good at figuring out what my dreams are telling me, but this one was very vivid and it actually woke me up. So, I go to get in bed, and I get into a tub full of water. I notice algae and lake weed and such in the water, so I move it to the corner of the tub. I see frog eggs and so I put them under some leaves so they stay safe. I get comfy and then I see a gigantic black widow. And not only is it gigantic, but it almost looks like a stuffed animal, but it also looks very real. It's pincher/teeth/fang thing in the front is in a U shape, and its going back and forth like pulling hoodie strings in and out of both sides of your hood. It crawls over and keeps messing with me like it's going to jump on me. It finally lands on me and I woke up gasping and shaking. I woke up my husband, lol. I can't figure that out at all. It might've just been a bunch of garbled information, but when dreams are just garbage, I don't recall them in such detail. I'm not really that afraid of spiders. I don't like poisonous ones in my home or touching me but if they're outside, it's their home and I don't care that they are there. I also like swimming in creeks and lakes more than pools.

Best answer:

heres what i came up with: To see water in your dream, symbolizes your unconscious and your emotional state of mind. Water is the living essence of the psyche and the flow of life energy. It is also symbolic of spirituality, knowledge, healing and refreshment. If the water is calm, clear, then it signifies that you are in tune with your spirituality. It denotes serenity, peace of mind, and rejuvenation. If you are splashed by water, then it represents your need to be revitalized and more expressive. To dream that water is boiling, suggests that you are expressing some emotional turmoil. It also may mean that feelings from your unconscious are surfacing and ready to be acknowledged.�You need to let out some steam. To see muddy or dirty water in your dream, indicates that you are wallowing in your negative emotions. You may need to devote some time to clarify your mind and find internal peace. Alternatively, it suggests that your thinking/judgment is unclear and clouded. If you are immersed in muddy water, then it indicates that you are in over your head in a situation and are overwhelmed by your emotions. To see a frog in your dream, represents a potential for change or something unexpected. The frog may be a prince in disguise and thus, signify transformation. Alternatively, the frog symbolizes uncleanness, fertility, or rebirth. To see or eat eggs in your dream, symbolizes fertility, birth and your creative potential. It indicates that something new is about to happen. To find a nest filled with eggs in your dream, signifies some financial gain; the more abundant and bigger the eggs, the more significant the gain. To see a black widow in your dream, suggests fear or uncertainty regarding a relationship. You may feel confined, trapped, or suffocated in this relationship. You may even have some hostility toward your mate. Because the female black widow has the reputation of devouring its mate, it thus also symbolizes feminine power and domination over men. To dream that you feel fear, indicates that your achievements will not be as successful as you had anticipated. You are experiencing anxieties in various aspects of your life. The key to overcoming your fear is to discuss them and deal with them openly. hope this helps

Found an aquatic insect and have no clue what it could be..?

Full question:

The other day i took my little brother to the creek and we found a horrifying creature that i cant seem to find online. It was in the water but seemed to be able to breathe oxgen as well. my initial thought was some sort of centipede but much bigger. okay this thing was maybe three inches long; wide and flat. It had eight legs positioned at the top section of the body and large pinchers on its mouth. its shell-like body was black (more like charcoal) and its head and 'neck' were red... i flipped it over looking for more legs (I did this with my net, not my hands) and found white strip-like colorings on its belly. id like to know what that creature was because its haunting my dreams :) any help is much appreciated, thank you

Best answer:

It is a megaloptera (dobsonfly) larvae. It sounds like a beautiful specimen. They eat mosquito larvae and things like that so they are really great to have around.
