Q:I don't chew a lot of gum, if I do it's for a short time. i don't eat any hard foods. i normally eat stuff like rice, chips, noodles, pasta, crisps(sometimes) and my bracket becomes loose and eventually falls out into my mouth so I just take it out and put it into a tissue. it's happened like 3 times now. the first time it was the bracket right at the back on my top set of teeth, and the 2nd time it was the same one and now the third time it's my bottom set of teeth right at the back. the orthodontist glues it very weirdly, so maybe it's that? I don't know. they keep telling to be careful and they keep shouting at me. and threatning me that they'll take my braces off. but it's not my fault. what should I do?

They can't threaten you, since you ARE paying for it. Just tell them that you are following all the instructions and it keeps happening.

Q:Anyone know how I can add an extra hard drive to this unit? I opened the case and there is not a space for the drive to go into. Can I purchase a bracket somewhere? If so can you point me in the right directions? Thanks!

Only Dell can do anything with that rig. Check their website for upgrades available for that computer. Dell is different and won't accept most conventional upgrade of hardware.

Q:Are there any online instructions for swapping Video Card brackets?I have a Low profile card, with a full sized bracket.And i want to replace it with a low profile bracket.

Pretty easy. I bought an Asus AH3450 AGP video card for use in my living room HTPC, which is in a slimline case. The AH3450 has a full-height bracket, but includes a low-profile bracket in the packaging. All I had to do is unscrew the hex bolts holding the DVI port to the bracket to take the bracket off. Replace with the low-profile bracket, and screw the hex bolts back in to fix the bracket into place on the card. Voila.

Q:I was let go by my former company in 2011. I now receive unemployment benefits. Now that its 2012 and the unemployment benefits are running out along with my reserves and I need a way to continue paying for life because there are no jobs for me now. I need to take out my 401k early. I'm only going to make $5000 of taxable income in 2012 with unemployment benefits before it ends. So when it comes time to withdraw my 401k this means my tax bracket will be considered 10% or 15% right? OR does the IRS f you over and use the previous years tax bracket?Skip the lecture about how early withdrawal is bad. Its pretentious for those of use who are about to lose our home and literally be on the street because ******* want to move our jobs to India and China.

If your other income is only $5000, then the first $4500 from the 401K gets a zero tax rate, the next $8500 a 10% rate, then 15%. This assumes you are single.

Q:A week ago, my brother had accidentally hit me in the mouth with the door, and 5 of my brackets came loose. I remember while I was getting my braces put on, they kept popping off because my front two teeth were so crooked. So, after one beside the front two teeth was hit, and became loose, those two came loose following. I am at a loss, and now i HATE braces. Today, i was brushing my teeth while eating (and i always brush gently, while using an electric toothbrush) and one on the other side came loose for no reason. I have never even thought about eating something that would break a bracket and i never did. I'm just afraid that my orthodontist will blame me for it coming loose, when i did nothing to it. P.S. my appointment is tomorrow, and the office is closed today, preventing me from notifying them. Sorry if this is really confusing.

the only bracket i've got broken substitute right into a lower back hook one they generally did no longer care approximately it. It substitute into as quickly as considered one of terrific 2 they might get on because of the fact my tooth are so tiny. looks i did no longer choose it in the 1st undertaking provided that they've yet to alter it. call them first. enable them to renowned. Ask what to do. And stop eating the incorrect stuff. it is going to enlarge your scientific care, it could properly do eternal injury on your tooth, and you or your parents WILL could pay extra. I pay $152 in line with appointment out of my very own pocket, to no longer point out the $760 down fee. This junk is expensive. I shelter it. I can not intentionally screw myself into paying extra suitable for my very own stupidity and stubbornness. in the adventure that your parents have been paying, probably they're going to could coach the invoice over to you and notice in case you finally end up extra suitable careful. ;)

Q:I got braces just over a year and a half ago, and ever since the beginning one bracket keeps falling off. They glue it back on and every few weeks - or even days - it falls off again. I have literally lost count of how many times this SINGLE bracket has come off, even when I'm not eating food at all, let alone hard foods or toffee. I really don't know what the problem is, does anybody have any ideas as to why this keeps happening? I also have an underbite that I will need surgery on, but I don't think this has anything to do with it. thank you in advance!

dodge each and all of the meals that they instructed you to, extremely meals that are no longer uncomplicated or sticky. extremely dodge popcorn! shrink your foodstuff up into small products and consume it slowly. dodge sodas and fruit juices because of the fact the acid from them might reason the bonding to weaken. even with the actuality which you would be able to desire to be thorough which contain your dental hygiene being overly finished of existence with brushing can do extra harm than sturdy so be tender. Thorough, yet tender. Dental wax is sturdy for helping shelter your gums out of your braces. communicate on your orthodontist relating to the themes you're having and in case you sense you're no longer getting the widespread artwork and care which you ought to be then you definately've the final to swap to a sparkling orthodontist. sturdy success.

Q:For example if I make $1499 gross I might pay 21% tax, but if I make a dollar more -- $1500 gross -- I might enter a new tax bracket and end up will less net pay

It doesn't work that way. Only the additional dollar you earn, in your example, would be in the higher tax bracket. You wouldn't take home less money.

Q:I have a pair of 4 foot shelves. They are a foot deep. How far in should I mount the brackets?Thanks

the 2 x 4s are 16 apart. I would put the brackets 32 apart, making sure you screw into the 2 x 4s, and let the shelf ends overhang 8 on each side

Q:I got braces december 11 and within 3 days I felt the wire pop out and a bracket came off. Now today I woke up and another bracket was off. My ortho only replaces 3 before they start charging us and I'm worried they will count them both against me and I'll only have 1 replacement left. Will the orthodontist be mad at me? I dont have them fixed either cuz they cant get me in until January 1 or 8.Do you think they will count these against me? and do you know any ways I can keep the brackets from breaking because I'm scared I'll lose more and it's been less than a month.

As long as you are not chewing sticky or hard foods, like gum or popcorn then it isn't your fault. They shouldn't being popping off that fast. When I got my braces off I had a permanent retainer glued to my bottom teeth and it popped off the day they put it it. I just went back and they didn't charge me anything because they hadn't glued it properly in the first place. It sounds like that's what's happened to you. Just watch what you eat ( no apples unless they're cut up, no popcorn, hard candy, caramel, chewing gum) that way they can't blame it on you. Good luck and I hope that helped
