Question: What kind of flower is this?

I saw this in an old issue of Better Homes & Gardens while waiting for the doctor. The best way that I can describe it, is that it looked like a brown stick that branched out and grew very small, yellow flowers. I thought it was beautiful, and I want to have it painted in my room, but I need to find a picture of it in order to do so. If it helps at all, a common theme in this room was Asian decor and Asian flowers. Please help! Thanks so much.

Answer: Sounds a bit like an orchid or a Forsythia.
Here's a picture of a yellow orchid:

Question: when you look in a magazine.....?

How does the content in the magazine affect you and your desires? Do you find yourself craving the meals pictured, or wishing you lived in the beautiful homes in the photographs?

Answer: YES! Definitely. Especially objects like TV's or other Electronics. Not so much food, but yes it definitely makes me crave it more than usual

Question: Can I save home made videos and personal pictures on the xbox360 Elite HD?

Answer: ummmm....i know you can stream them from your pc to your 360 and i know you can hook up your Zune to your 360 and do it that way, but, I'm not sure if you can actually save them to your hard drive.

Seems like you should be able to, but, I guess I never really thought about it.
