Quick Break, Uncategorized No Comments »

Today was a nice day to be off, considering I work 12 hours a day.  Sometimes we all need to take a break from the daily rigors of life.  I think I’m gonna sit around and do nothing.  For you workaholics, that means ‘a break’.  Tell me what you do on your day-off to reinvigorate yourself.

Army Men: Plastic Island

Quick Break 25 Comments »

An epic tale of two plastic heroes engaged in a one-on-one war to gain control of an island. This is a short film, not a series.

I made this video just for fun, and to take a quick break from River City Jim. Instead of comedy, I focused on mood in this movie. If you like it, take a look at my other videos.

Also, sorry about the low resolution and how sketchy the subtitles turned out. Remember, I just made it to try something fresh. Enjoy!

Quick Break 28 Comments »

I'm due a weeks holidays at the beggining of Ausut and I want to go abroad for the week with my wife, what place or country would you recommend we go? where would you go? looking for some ideas.

Cheers.
Going to surprise my wife :)
SINGAPORE.
Special country, beautifull sights, helpfull ppl, clean and green country, multi-racial country, peacefull place, only country in the world u would NEVER see chewing gum sticking all over the place. NEVER(15 years experience), u might not heard of SINGAPORE, but its not a china country, its mixed. Truly mixed, its asian country, but no, its not like china, all rude and dirty, its 100% clean. No litter all over the streets. Its services are world class. Its an ISLAND COUNTRY, but its money-worth is huge, its well known as the worlds best port, thats why the brits, the japanese wanna take over us in the pass. It has a all year summer weather, Its a country thats almost pollution free, except when our neighbouring country polute the environment by burnung, we dont burn nth. Juz come take a look, impressive sights, and make sure u visit the city, Crazily beautifull, with ferris wheel(HUGE), towering buildings(at least 30),beautifull rivers, flyovers all around the place, stadium, and many large constuction crane-fillled projects(100 cranes at least), but pollution free, no smell of diesel, juz smell of green. Country uses plastic notes as well as nomral ones, taxis are efficient, watch the streets, 20 in juz 4minutes, wtach the buses, 10 in 10mins, watch the Trains, covers the whole country for 2bucks(darn cheap). Try the excellent cuisine, and watch the ppl communicate in english, chinese, japanese, tamil, malay, hokkien, cantonese, singlish(our "national" language). If u come around august, you might be able to catch the national day parade, grand event with the whole city lighted up with fireworks, and the city is totally bright, its 24/7 litted up with lights all over the place. Fomula 1 racing in the city, lights on the street stronger den daylight, hip hop dancers in certain corners of the city who dance with great skill, but do not cause any trouble, they dance for fun, they all dance dere for fun, check out the hotels, budgets, or classy 1s. ITS BEAUTIFULLL!

Is it possible to accidentally break your own neck by "cracking" it with a quick rotation of the head?

Quick Break 4 Comments »

I crack my neck a few times a day, and it freaks my friends out. They think one of these times I'm going to just drop dead from a broken neck. Is this a real possibility?

Somewhat. You do stand the risk of damaging your arteries in the neck leading to a stroke although probability is very rare. I believe the risk of cerebral vascular accident from cervical manipulation is approximately around 1 in 1-2 million.

The main reason why I wouldn't recommend cracking your neck is because numerous studies have shown, rotational manipulation accelerates degeneration of the intervertebral disc leading to degenerative joint disease and neurological compromise.

How can I break my arm/elbow QUICK AND EASY???

Quick Break 12 Comments »

I just got the latest GTA 4 on XBOX360 and I dont want to go to school, I want to play GTA 4.

Any Suggestions???
This is for all the people that are saying how can you play with a broken arm, my brother broke his arm once and he could still play ps2

Don't break your arm because you wouldn't be able to play with the Xbox properly you noob! pretend you got a stomach ache or something, if your parents want to take you to the doctor then say you might get better sooner or later and then you can go and play Xbox all you want. If it doesnt work then just go to school! you have time to play when you come back and in the weekends. If you live in Australia the holidays are coming real soon and you can play Xbox as much as you want! studies are very important and more importantly: DONT YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR FRIENDS??!!

oh yeh and even if you break your arm your parents could still send you to school.

Sorry to say this but: YOUR REALLY STUPID. sacrificing your arm to play xbox.

A quick jerk on the lower string will break that string but a slow pull on the string will break the upper str?

Quick Break 1 Comment »

An heavy ball is suspended. A quick jerk on the lower string will break that string but a slow pull on the string will break the upper string. The first result occures because:

a. the force is too small to move the ball
b. action and reaction
c. the ball has inertia
d. airt friction holds the ball back
e. the ball has too much energy

c. It's because the ball has inertia. The faster you try to accelerate the mass, the more force is required. If you try to accelerate it too fast, it will require more force than the maximum tension of the string and the string will break.

A slow pull will break the upper string because the force on the upper string is the tension plus the force of gravity on the ball, while the force on the lower string is just the tension. Thus, if the acceleration isn't so much that you're overcoming the maximum tension with the initial pull, then the upper string will reach it's maximum tension first due to being pulled too tight together with the gravity.

Strange Fire! - Revival of 07

Quick Break 25 Comments »

An interesting look at Rodney Howard Browne’s latest revival at Tampa. I’m sure you’ll find it worth the wait…

Fair Use, captured with my TVTuner Card.
BTW for anyone wondering the “Fair Use” of this clip, here is a quick break down of it. The Fair Use Act says that I am allowed approximately 20% of almost anything (movies,etc.) for use in my projects. This entire “revival” was 120min(2hr) long, meaning “20%” is exactly “24min” which I could have legally used for “fair use”. However, just to be even better, and abide to YouTube’s 10min rule, I have only used 9mins and 53secs worth that is even less that YouTube’s and the Fair Use Act’s requirements. Now that’s Fair Use… ;-)

My break pads are squeaking. Is there a quick fix?

Quick Break 9 Comments »

I have a car with 20,000 miles on it and the dealership told me I still have over 50% left on my front and rear pads. They are squeaking very lightly when I am almost to a complete stop. I don't need new pads at the moment but is there a quick fix? Someone told me to drive the car in reverse while holding the break peddle down. And that would be a temp. fix. Haven't tried it yet.

No real quick fix that will last for a length of time.You may need to get the rotors turned down,depending on how hard you use them.The brake pads nine out ten are glazed over,and will only in time do the same, because of bad quality.I'd say replace with a good pair and have the problem resolved.If you see the front wheels getting mighty dirty.It's brake dust, and tells you how hard you are using the brakes or a poor set wearing out quicker then normal….
