Q:I just made team at my local ice rink. For our first competition some of our footwork includes: 4 backwards crossovers, then two brackets in a circle. I just cannot find a way to do the brackets. the next practice is in a week and everyone is counting on me to know the choreography.PLEASE HELP ME!

you need to bend your knees and go up and downbend before the turn, then release during the turn, then bend back down after completing the bracket. even if you feel funny doing this, this really helps a lotpress your hands down, don't keep your arms completely straight out, press down. also, don't be afraid of doing them with speed and quickness. use your hips to turn, not your upper body. hope i helped

Q:For the first round they do it right.But after that they stick to a bracket, instead of sorting matchups based on seed numbers.For example: Why should the Pacers #1 face the Wizards #5, when they could play the Nets #6?

Who gives a **** the NBA is rigged anyway, watch the Brooklyn and Raptors game 7, just a disgrace to the game. I couldn't believe the officiating in that game

Q:I think it has something to do with basketball and March Madnessbut could it be for any tournament?

yea in your case, its msotly pertaining to march madness but the bracket champ is the team who wins their bracket. and yea, any tournament can have a bracket champ.

Q:I recently got braces for my horribly crooked teeth. Well the night I got home from the orthodontist, a bracket popped off of my tooth (leaving the glue on my tooth) but is still attached to the wire. Well the teeth around it emediately started to hurt. My parents don't listen to anything I say so going back to the ortho isn't an option for a few days. Two more brackets around the first have also come loose and still attached to the wire. Is it safe to remove them by simpy cutting the colored bands? If not, how do I stop these things from coming off?

Leave the brackets attached to the wire and let your orthodontist remove them. You can prevent more brackets from coming off by following the what not to eat guidelines you should have been given. If this is not the case, then it could be your bite that is causing the problem and there is nothing you can do about that. The orthodontist will have to make you a biteplate to wear until your teeth straightens out to the point that the brackets will not be sheared off.

Q:f(x) squareroot( (x-5)/(x^2+3x-10) ) the entire problem is under the squareroot. I got [-5,2) U (5, infiniti) not sure if it's right. I know I've asked this a few times but I just feel paranoid that I have the bracket next to -5 in the wrong place, my friend's answer is (-5,2) U [5, infinity)

GADS.I missed thatneed to look more closely when answeringfriend is correct

Q:I got my braces today and I noticed that the bracket ( small thing glued to the tooth) isn't glued. It is loose. I can spin it around, because it's so loose. It cannot come out because the rubber band is holding it in. Do I go to the dentist? Any suggestions?

no, mine was loose also. u just have to try not to touch it. i had braces for 3 years.

Q:I got a question like this 1/3m4I got the answer 12/34but when I checked the answer, it was {12}.What was the purpose of the curly brackets?

Q:i don't like to because i feel that it ruins the tournament.My reasoning is because if u want to WIN (your bracket) then usually you go with the higher seeds and i LOVE rooting for the underdogs.I LOVE college basketball and i think its second only to MLB in terms of sports but i think filling out brackets are stupid because half of you is rooting for the underdog and the other half is rooting for your bracket. i went to a small, private college (D-3) so i don't have any particular feelings for any of the teams (although i love rooting against the UNCs and Dukes of the world)agree/disagree with me, why?

I agree. In my case, I root for my bracket until I know I don't have a shot, which this year, came in the Georgia game (first game of the tournament), and then I start rooting for the underdog. I'm not a D-3er, but I'm close in University of Houston (let's face it, if my cougs were going to make it, it would have been this year, sucks being in a mid-major that is going to be dominated by one school for eternity!) the only big school I have allegiance to is Texas, just always been a fan. Thank God preseason's over!

Q:I was flossing and all of a sudden I feel this vibration and I see my wire come out of my bracket and I'm just wondering if I should continue eating when I'm hungry or how should I fix it. It's in the middle that's where it fell off

Call your orthodontist in the morning, and they'll get you in right away. And most orthodontists (all of the GOOD ones anyway!) don't charge for small fixes such as that, because it's not any error on your part that caused it to come out. You might be able to do a temporary fix yourself that should hold you over for the rest of the evening. Examine the wire and bracket and see if you can determine why it came out. If the bracket is sticking out or loose, you may be able to wiggle the wire back under it, or put the wire back down and bend the bracket back into place. My orthodontist told me the best way to do it was by using a number 2 pencil eraser, and it worked wonders for me! If you can't fix it, no big deal! Just be very careful for the rest of the evening and chew on the side of your mouth farthest away from the wire. When you go to bed tonight, you may be able to temporarily stick the wire to the front of your bracket using the orthodontic wax your doctor should have provided you with.

Q:First off I just noticed that one of the rubber bands on my brackets isn't where it should be, is there anything i can do to fix it or should i leave it alone. Second I'm new to the braces thing and only have my top ones on but, i don't have the silver things on my molars yet. When i do get them on will they have to take out the wire and take the bands off the brackets? And finally how often do you get to change the band colors on the brackets?

hey hun i had braces for two years and trust me its not that bad. for the colored band around the bracket, id leave it, its not really important, but if its bothering you, then see your orthodontist and have them put it back in place. second, when they put on the bands for ur molars, they only take out the wire, not everything. about the color changing, u get to change them everytime u have a tightening (which believe me, isnt that bad) u can also ask them if u can get a pattern of colors. my ortho only let me have up to two colors, but maybe urs will let u have more. which is always fun come holidays, halloween, valentines day, or if your an obsessive fan of someone u can have a pattern of their fave colors. hope i helped(:
