Can anyone make an instruction list and diet plan on how to burn fat?

2012-01-19T15:01:00.000-08:00

I have no idea what to do right now. I joined a gym and I do 20 minutes of leg presses, 20 minutes of vertical ab crunches, and 20 minutes of side to side ab move thingys. Then I spend the rest of my time on the elliptical machine. I burn about 300 calories per day, which is probably nothing. I just want someone to help me properly plan this out because I don't know what to do. What would be a proper diet that can allow me to burn fat from all over my body? Like what should I eat in the morning/what should I do in the morning?..what should I eat in the afternoon/what should i do in the afternoon?..etc..I mean if anyone can help me on this I will follow it straight through my summer and my plan is to lose 30 lbs. I'm doing this because my doctor said i'm over weight..my bmi is 25.2 and my height is 5' 6" and my weight is 156 lbs right now. My doctor said I have a spike in my cholestrol also. I don't want to die early..I want to see life as it is..So will one of you help me plan this out? Can you communicate with my on AIM? My screenname is SandZofPersiaX92 and my email is sandzofpersia92@gmail. com..I would greatly appreciate any help I get. Thank you!

Answer on Can anyone make an instruction list and diet plan on how to burn fat?

20 minutes each of 3 exercises is a bit strange.

Look at doing 3 weight sessions per week, covering all the body. Do a short 15 minute session of HIIT after the weight session (ie jog for 1 minute, sprint for 30 seconds, jog for 1 minute).

On non-weight training days (3 other days), do 45 minutes of cardio at decent heart rate.

Make sure you have a rest day.

Drink lots of water, cut out bad foods, lower carbohydrate intake after about 3pm. Consume decent amounts of protein.

Most importantly, stick at it and you see results. Stop by my blog if you have any more questions, happy to help.

Important question regarding sex?

2012-01-16T00:18:00.000-08:00

A couple of years ago, I was working at a party one night, when the entertainer decided not to show up. I was promptly told to play the piano by my boss. The stage was a tad bit chilly so I ended up borrowing a friend's Princeton jacket. I played a few jigs here and there, when an older, wealthy looking man approached me. He saw my jacket and asked me to retrieve his also Princeton Alum son from Italy and bring him back to the states. I was reluctant at first, but there was 1,000$ added incentive. So I left NYC, finally met the man (nice fellow) and his charming girlfriend. I pretended to reminisce about long forgotten days back in the Ivy League. I started to really enjoy their company, when Dickie (the guy) started to grow tired of me. When sailing one day, we began to argue, hence which I bashed his head in with an oar. I had to do something quickly with the body, without letting his gf know. I sunk the boat and went back to shore. Then, I fled to Rome, telling his beautiful girlfriend that Dickie left her behind. This hurt her deeply. But I had to, for my own safety. The police started to chase me all about Italy, switching from the Verandas, from Rome, to Venice. One day, when back at where I first visited when came to the country. Dickie's old girlfriend approached me. My first thought was to murder her as well, as she was growing suspicious, but detectives were nearby. I then boarded the boat back to the US. I knew my time was wearing thin. Soon they would find out. Now I am undecided. My life is ruined. Should I now live a solitary life without love or acceptance?

Thank you. Any input is appreciated.

I think I'm in love with my friend?

2012-01-09T04:12:00.000-08:00

I met her at my work about a year and a half ago. I've never met anyone I had such a strong connection with. We have so much in common, but at the same time we introduce new things and ideas to eachother. Since I had dinner with her a couple weeks ago I can't get her out of my mind. Neither of us have ever been with anyone, but we have talked about crushes we've had on guys. I have imagined her kissing me and us being together. She's so amazing. Funny, smart, crazy! And I admire her so much because of her spirit and honesty and goodness. She's leaving to go to college in asia this summer so i'll only be able to see her on breaks :'( Is this just some phase or do I really love her? I'm so confused. How could I give her some hints that I like her? I don't want to loose her as a friend. Help me?

Answer on I think I'm in love with my friend?

Make some hints that you like her. Flirt, use a flirt that I call the patient flirt because I find it the most subtle. Just talk to her more often, hangout with her more often, sit closer, be more open with your conversations, and most of all show interest in women. The women you show interest can be any random person or it can be someone you know and when you get on the topic of talking about who you like just say, "I like this one girl that I met through a sibling, but nothing will happen because she is straight." Something like that; it is subtle yet she will know you have interest in girls sexually. And remember you don't have to tell her all in one day or one conversation everything that you have been wanting to tell her for the past year and a half or so. Tell her over a period of time that is about 1 week at the shortest. The last thing is for her to get overwhelmed. Good luck. I hope I helped! :)

Japan or Italy?

2011-12-28T05:32:00.000-08:00

I am going to one of those places in August of this year. I'm so indecisive I don't know what to do. Help?

Answer on Japan or Italy?

I've been to both and they are completely difference experiences so hard to give you an idea. Japan is an amazing county with so much technology but also some incredible history. The shrines are amazing and if you can get to some more remote areas rather than just Tokyo, Kobe and Kyoto you will improve your experience 100 times. Italy on the other hand - amazing architechture, culture, history, food, people etc. Will be very busy this year though with all the hype for Da Vinci Code and also with the World Cup on. There will just be so many more travellers. So, I guess I would recommend Japan for this year but make sure you get to Italy at some stage. It's not like this trip will be your last!!

If you dye your hair purple (semi-permanent) directly from a natural reddish-brown colour (no prior bleaching), how long does it take for the hair colour to completely return to its natural colour?

How do you motivate yourself? Still want to look good for my husband, lacking a lot of self confidence here...?

2011-09-23T06:04:00.000-07:00

I hate even typing this because I won't say it out loud...but I'm so insecure about my body. Most of my life I was, at my largest, a size 6. I got married last year, and read an old email that my husband had sent his ex a few days before we got married that said "I'll always love you" He said he just meant it in friendly way and he hasn't talked to her since. But I look at her, and she has an absolutely PERFECT body. How can I even compare? I got pregnant, gained more weight and then we lost our baby at birth. So on top of the loss of my child, I still carry this extra weight and thoughts of inadequacy.
I try to think about how much happier I'd be if I were back in my little jeans but it always goes back to me thinking, well my husband had someone with a much better body before me, now he has to look at this? And I get disgusted with myself. I tried thinking that me being disgusted should be enough motivation but I want to do it for MYSELF, and not because I feel like I should measure up to someone else.

Once again, I can't believe I'm even asking this because everyone I know thinks I'm so strong and mentally sound. I just wanted some advice from people who've actually been in the same boat...

Answer on How do you motivate yourself? Still want to look good for my husband, lacking a lot of self confidence here...?

wow.. :( if your not comfortable is it worth it? always feeling insecure and comparing yourself :( why would he email that to her just before your getting married, you just don't say it if your unavailable..

do you not have any good friends you can experiment looks with? :( i actually feel sad for u because i know the feeling, but without knowing you its very hard, email me :) x

I Need Low Carb Diet Tips Please!! :)?

2011-09-14T02:46:00.000-07:00

So, I am going into a low carb diet and I need a few tips.
1. What are the things I should eat? (I know meats and eggs, but I've also heard you need to eat fats? I don't think so...)
2. What don't I at?
3. On the first couple weeks I know I am supposed t stick to a specific diet, but what is that diet?
4. What is a serving size? How much do I eat?
5. Why can I at Veggies but not Fruits?
6. What drinks can I drink?
7. Am I allowed to eat any type of dairy?
8. How long will it take me to loose about 20 pounds?
9. What is a good meal menu for breakfasts, lunch, and dinner everyday?
10. Can I chew gum?
11. Do I need to do any extra exercise?

Thanks you guys for all the help!

Answer on I Need Low Carb Diet Tips Please!! :)?

I will answer in order for you.

1 ) Yes, you can eat fats, this is a low carb diet, not a low fat diet. It has been shown that carbs are more of a culprit for obesity than fats. Eat Lean meats, vegetables, nuts and drink water.

2) Avoid, enriched flours, sugar and pasta.

(you can have wheat products and fruit in moderation)

3) The first few weeks of a low carb diet is usually very restrictive with the carbs. For the first few weeks, eat very VERY few carbs.

4) A serving size is what the caloric and nutritional info is based on. A good rule of thumb is, something about the size of a balled up fist is a single serving. Most products will list what a serving size is.

5) Fruits should be eaten in moderation because of the high sugar in fruit. Even though fruit sugar is natural, it is still sugar, and sugar is a carb. The only carbs you should not worry about is fiber (because it just passes through the system).

6) What can you drink? Tea, water, flavored water like Propel or Crystal light will be fine if you need something with taste. Avoid soda and limit fruit juices.

7) Dairy in moderation, milk and cheese have much more carbs than you think, besides, the main benefit to dairy is the calcium, which can be found in brocolli.

8) Weight loss will be dependent upon exercise and how strictly you can keep to the diet. Under optimal conditions, you could lose that weight in 2 months, though I would expect 3-4 months to be more likely.

9) Just stay within the above quidlines and keep your calories low (1000-1500 again, dependent upon your current height / weight).

10) Yes, you can chew gum.

11) Yes, exercising will only speed the process up.

Am I doing enough exercise to loose weight?? x?

2011-08-27T10:35:00.000-07:00

Monday - Friday: 30 minutes cardio workout: 300 calories
10 minutes rowing machine: 50 - 100 calories
Breakfast: Either: Sausage roll - 3 hash browns - cereal = 200 calories
Lunch: Cheese and pickle roll X 2 = 500 - 700 calories
Dinner: Bean, bacon, egg and salad. OR cereal and crisps.
Snacks: Crisps, Apple, Pear

Drinks: Water and diet coke. I drink enough water.

I know I don't have the healthiest of diets but it is very improved compared to my diet last month. I never ate healthy, or did any exercise. I've just got a gym membership.

I'm 17. 5ft 8. 11stone. I look chubby but want to tone up for summer for a holiday.

I do a lot of walking each day too = 1 hour.

Is this enough to loose about a stone in 2 months?

Answer on Am I doing enough exercise to loose weight?? x?

1 hour of exercise each day weekly sounds like enough. If you want to tone up however I would really advise doing something that will firm and tighten like yoga. I started doing it in January and am so happy with the results. It is a little challenging at first, but it has now become a source of relaxation to me. I am happier with my body than I have ever been.

I always see them saying 'we americans are lazy, obese, ignorant blah blah...'
And when it comes to disussing pearl harbour which is trending on twitter now, I've noticed not only now but a long time ago that americans will say it's their fault, they bombed hiroshima and nagasaki. How is it america's fault? Japan attacked pearl harbour 1st. And usa dropped 2 atomic bombs because japan refused to stop their invasion of Asia. Thanks to usa, they withdrew or more people would be killed by japs. Plus japs killed 300k just in nanking, china alone and invaded lots of asian countries. But till this day they refuse to admit the war and their government & people visit their ' war hero' shrine every year. So why are u guys blaming yourselves on twitter now?(if u don't know what i mean go check out on twitter)
America saved China, korea, manchuria, singapore, malaysia etc!

PLEASE DIET PLANS IM a guy 14 year old need to lose weight

THANKS 10 POINTS TO WHO EVER GIVES ME TIPS AND 7 DAY DIET PLAN!~!!!!

Answer on Losing Weight help ASAP!!? 10 points?

Yep, your weight is fine. However, if you want to lose weight and build muscle, here are some tips:

1. Post signs on your fridge and pantry reminding yourself NOT to binge or snack. As long as there's a constant reminder, you'll be motivated not to eat.

2. Don't eat carbs (breads, potatoes, etc.) or meat.

3. If you feel really hungry, close your eyes for a moment and remember that sometimes, hunger passes. Sometimes, you're only hungry for five minutes, then it seems to go away. However, if you're still hungry, try drinking water and eating salad.

4. ALWAYS say no to junk food and SODA. Carbonated beverages are THE WORST.

5. Go to the gym as much as you can. If you want to look really good after 7 days, go every day! Try making a schedule that you have to follow. Do weights and run. Building muscle increases your metabolism. DON'T eat after you finish exercising. Just drink lots of water. Overall, going on a diet will help you lose weight more than exercising, but working out will help you keep the weight off.

6. Do 100 regular crunches. Keep your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Put your hands behind your neck, and when you lift up, try imagining your chest going towards the ceiling. In other words, don't just curl your head forward. Also, try holding the plank position for 1 - 2 minutes each day. Do 100 bicycle crunches. To help me get through all this, I put some intense music on. It helps! Remember though, your abs won't show if there's a layer of fat on top. So make sure you stick to the strict diet!

7. Once you reach your target weight, keep exercising and eating healthy. Post pictures of yourself before you lost weight, and ask yourself, "Do I want to be like this again?" Keeping the weight off is very difficult, so make sure you don't regress to unhealthy habits.

Hope that helped! Good luck!

2011-07-12T23:53:00.000-07:00

Now understand, I'm not sayin he's wack. And I've said good things about Drake before... some of his mixtape sh*ts is pretty dope, but son the first time I heard "Successful"... wow... I still don't understand how that song made it on the radio. That song is *LITERALLY* boring. His new songs on the radio ain't that bad, but still everytime I hear somethin from him now, it ends with me feelin like "eh..." nothin stands out! lol

And I'm sure the majority of ya'll already know I'm not one of them "real hip hop" people, so it aint got nothin to do with him 'not talking about life' or whatever... but yeah... I think i've lost all (if any) interest in hearin an album from him...-- I went into a rant lol Buy or Sell?

Answer on Buy or Sell: For all the hype that he's recieved, Drake has gotten ironically... boring?

Drake gets a REALLY bad rap. His mixtapes are actually pretty dope. The same individuals who tell you to delve further than air spins failed to do so with Drake, and crucify him for what's played on the radio and shown on Viacom networks.

Irony? Or something else?

Edit: I love you TF.

I refuse to admit I have a problem with eating to anyone - but I'm worried that it's going to get worse?

2011-07-07T06:15:00.000-07:00

I think it's getting bad because I never ever used to think "How many calories are in this" before I ate something. I never used to not pick low calorie foods - I just ate normal foods without even thinking about it. But now it's changed. I am constantly afraid of gaining weight and am even afraid of getting on the scales in case I gained.

I exercise and each session I push myself to do it for longer and harder so as to lose weight. I feel uncomfortable if I don't exercise.

My weight has pretty much gone down. Not drastically but I've lost some weight. Although I still feel vastly overweight.

I won't admit to anyone - my friends, parents, school counselor, doctor, anyone - that I have a problem. I just can't say "I'm worried about.." or "I need help." But I'm worried this is going to get worse. Things have already changed.

So.. what do I do?

Answer on I refuse to admit I have a problem with eating to anyone - but I'm worried that it's going to get worse?

awww sweetie... i'm so sorry ur going through that. although i wish i had ur ability to exercise daily, i'd never wanna feel uncomfortable w/my own body. ur disease is in control and ur protecting it when u don't reveal it. it's like an abusive boyfriend or monsters in the dark, ur tortured by it until u shed light onto it. u have to expose ur illness so ppl can help. force urself to tell someone even through the embarrassment and shame. in that dark and quiet place ur wasting away. alone, ur not getting better but worse. outside u there are ppl who will help. after everything i said, there's one thing u MUST do before even exposing ur illness... u have to be ready to admit the problem. noone can change what they deny. good luck, take care, be blessed. ~i just said a prayer for u.~

Info on Valle d'Aosta in Italy?

2011-06-30T00:38:00.000-07:00

I have to do a report/project on the region and I can't find a few things. (I dont speak very good Italian, so if in your answer you post a non-English site, it wont help.) I need to know:
-What the region's main product is? (Export)
-Are there any main lakes?
-Are there any main rivers?
-What are some of the main tourist attractions?

Any links to websites is highly appreciated, thanks.

Answer on Info on Valle d'Aosta in Italy?

I checked on the Italian Wikipedia. And I'm italian.
Valle d'Aosta is the smallest region of Italy. It's 100% mountain so it is not very populated ( 126.660 people in 3.263 km^2). Economy is based on tourism, and on 3^rd sector in general. Some agricultural products are cheese ( Fontina, Toma di Gressoney, Reblec, Seras...), bread, wine, fruit....

- main lakes: Lago di Beauregard, lago di Place-Moulin, Lago di Cignana. They are artificial, lakes for electricity.

- main rivers: Dorea Baltica. "Valle" is valley in italian and the region is the valley of this river.

- it is a touristic region for ski during winter. there are other sites like
Castello di Fenis • Castello di Issogne • Forte di Bard • Castello di Verres • Castello Savoia a Gressoney-Saint-Jean.

they are castles.

if you have others questions, ask, i m italian so i can get more infos

What to expect when getting a nose piercing?

2011-06-16T00:01:00.000-07:00

I'm getting my nose peirced this summer, and I really need to know the details. I'm leaving for Italy in 6 days, should I get it before the trip? Also, how does it heal, what to do to keep it clean? Does it hurt? is it hard to get in and out? Your experiences?

Thaaanks :D

Answer on What to expect when getting a nose piercing?

Piercings heal from the outside in. Piercings are quick and it probably wont hurt that bad, but your nose will start to throb afterwards. You'll feel like your heart is in your nose.
http://tattoo. about. com/cs/beginners/l/b…
That page has just about everything you need to know about keeping it clean and whatnot. Your piercer will walk you through the cleaning process.

You'll want to do sea salt soaks with one cup of hot water and one teaspoon of sea salt for about ten minutes, and clean it with antibacterial hand soap three times a week. Make sure your hands are clean whenever you do anything with it.
Just don't mess around with it when its healing.

Don't take it out until its fully healed (I'm not sure how long nose piercings take to heal) Even if it is healed and you leave it out for a while, the hole will probably close up because its going through mucus membrane.

I would probably get it when you come back from Italia, that way it wont bother you, because it will probably itch quite a bit. Expect some bleeding too for about a week.

If there is any serous problems or if you have/even think there is an issue, call your piercer and ask them, or even go in.
Don't remove the jewelery if you think you have an infection though.

DO NOT USE RUBBING ALCOHOL OR HYDROGEN PEROXIDE TO CLEAN IT, RUBBING ALCOHOL AND HYDROGEN PEROXIDE WILL DAMAGE HEALING SKIN CELLS AND CAUSE COMPLICATIONS.
Stick with your piercers cleaning instructions.

Get it done professionally at a piercing studio, or a tattoo parlor by the way.

I have a conch piercing in my left ear, everyone said it would hurt insanely bad, but I didn't feel a thing. I got it done about 6 months ago, and its almost healed.

Lastly, get a good nights sleep before you get the piercing, eat a good breakfast, and don't go if you've had any alcohol (you'll bleed more) Bringing a friend should make you a little bit less nervous (thats a lie, you'll be shaking like a twig anyways) just get them to tell you some jokes or something, anything to take your mind off of it.

I want to try to eat a little more of a vegan diet, any tips?

2011-06-09T17:16:00.000-07:00

Answer on I want to try to eat a little more of a vegan diet, any tips?

well of course vegetables and I recommend you eating tofu. Soy is also really good for you, and don? t mind the comments about "You will be lack in proteins?" that's just bullsh... Vegetables have a lot of proteins too, not as much as the meat, but still. Tofu is really cheap and yummi, if you don't know how to cook it look for a video in youtube, it's pretty easy

Advice for my acting (Disney) audition?

2011-06-03T02:21:00.000-07:00

On Saturday I am attending an open call for Disney Channel/Disney XD (it's in Austin, TX which is where I'm from).

I have been in acting classes for 9 years, but no agent (never even auditioned for one) because my mom enjoys procrastinating, haha. So I have no idea how to behave or wear or what to sing at this audition.

Here's what I'm thinking about wearing:
- dark wash boot cut jeans (victoria's secret)
- http://www. ae. com/web/browse/product. jsp? catId=cat90038&productId=0357_5171, or any other pink button down I find that's a little loose (you get the idea).
- my hair down, straightened with my pearl headband and no jewelry except my purity ring
- these REALLY adorable cowboy boots (I swear, they're super cute). I thought it might be a cute touch and make me stand out a little, and I'm in Texas so it's fine :) ahhaha

also here are some songs I was thinking about singing (I have better taste in music than this I just wanted to sing a song they'd be familiar with.):
- When I Look At You (Miley Cyrus)
- Good and Broken (Miley Cyrus)
- See You Again (Miley Cyrus)
- Right Here (Miley Cyrus)
- Goodbye (Miley Cyrus)
- Naturally (Selena Gomez)
- Catch Me (Demi Lovato)
- Here We Go Again (Demi Lovato)
- Gotta Go My Own Way (Vanessa Hudgens)
- Say Ok (Vanessa Hudgens)

Answer on Advice for my acting (Disney) audition?

At any audition you want to make sure to be polite and friendly, even to others who are auditioning. (though it's really best to keep mostly to yourself before he actual audition, as anyone who is negative can ruin your good vibe.) Producers/directors love to see the REAL YOU! SO have fun and let your personality shine through!

As for the way you dress and look, it sounds very nice to me. But remember, look good, perform better :)

I don't know what kind of show you're trying out for, but if you are using a disney girl's song, Miley-wise I love the song 7-things. But honestly they are going to be hearing A LOT of disney. If I were you I would choose someone else who does pop. Like Hoku (90's) or Taylor Swift.

Should I take this Weight Loss Supplement?

2011-05-31T03:15:00.000-07:00

I am 16 years old, I am 5 foot 9 inches and I weigh 133 pounds. I am wanting to loose some weight, and I found some One A Day - Weight Smart pills in my cabinet. It is safe for me to take? (Of course I will follow the directions). I work out because of Softball 3 times a week, then I do my own work outs sometimes too. I need real opinions. And any ideas on what this supplement really does would be helpful too.

Answer on Should I take this Weight Loss Supplement?

Your body mass index (BMI) is already 19.6 - underweight (anything between 20-25 is normal). Weight loss supplements are not safe, and they are doubly not safe for people who already thin enough. Maintain your weight and work on increasing your workouts and fitness without losing any more weight. This will increase your muscle mass and reduce body fat and you may be less inclined to feel like you need to lose. Softball is not much of a workout.

Why does my dog have bad breath...?

2011-05-30T01:09:00.000-07:00

...when she is on a grain-free diet? Any ideas why????? She is allergic to everything!!! We used to feed her a rotation diet of Wellness Core, Acana, TOTW, Orijen and Natural Balance (according to how much money we had that month). I've tried Prey Model for several months as well (she only does well on red meat, poultry gives her poops cept for quail). We usually keep her on a food for about 4 months at a time to see if anything improves. She has been to the vet for a full check up. Teeth are great. Stool sample was fine. Vet suggested we check her diet. I just laughed. He said to try putting her on something that has high quality grains in it because her was worried she was having problems with potatoes as the carb. I didn't want to do that because grains are bad, right? She had a skin test and is highly allergic to grass. I live in rural NC. There is a LOT of unavoidable grass here. We got a second opinion from a pet nutritionist because we know how clueless vets can be about pet diets. She was quite shocked that my dogs breath was so bad when we brought her in. She said the same thing the vet told me. When we adopted our dog she had a very bad ear infection and it wouldn't go away (even with antibiotics). The grain-free was supposed to help with this but she maintains an ear infection for 6 months out of a year (yes we clean them daily). We put her on Canidae ALS three nights ago and the bad breath is gone. She poops twice a day now (only once previously). Her ear is getting very bad again. I'm not sure what to do. We keep trading one problem for another. The breath is SOOOO bad that it can't continue. Likewise with the ear infections. I grew up in a house with 8 dogs and have never had any issues to match this one. My vet is out of ideas. Our nutritionist is stumped too. Our girl is a Jack Russell if that makes a difference. Anybody out there have any "useful" ideas?

Answer on Why does my dog have bad breath...?

1)Poor hygiene (vet cleanings and regular brushings)

2) Gum disease

3) Wrong diet (too much changing around - stick with one brand - all those are good)

4) Worms

5) Eating something foul (like feces)

Diane contraceptive pills?

2011-05-28T00:02:00.000-07:00

Hi!

So here is my concern : i have done some research on Diane pills and can see that it helps in hair loss and acneic skin.
Since i need to go back on pills again (- i was pregnant and my baby no more breast feed with me)
i wanted to chose Diane because of its contraceptive effect (of course) and i have acneic skin and hair loss since 13yrs old teen. I also know that it cause weight gain ( this side effect is a total no no as im still struggling to loss pregnancy fat)

I want to know if anyone used or still using Diane pill and what was the outcome bad or good.

I know i need to see a gyneco but i still want to know women's advice ( woman out there, im sure you understand what i mean.. )

Thanks for your time.
No rudeness
10 points for the answer which suits me best
No laboratory language please! LOL

Answer on Diane contraceptive pills?

iv been using this for about a year iv had no problems at all i used to have acne but its cleared up comlpetly now wen no other products or anything would. i didnt get any weight gain with this pill at all, this may b because i go walking a couple of days a week. i highly recomemnd it its been great for me and i really think weight gain is just a myth although your body may retain more water if you avoid salty food this will be avoided completley

space. com – Sat Apr 4, 8:17 pm ET

Tiny and dying but still-powerful stars called pulsars spin like crazy and light up their surroundings, often with ghostly glows. So it is with PSR B1509-58, which long ago collapsed into a sphere just 12 miles in diameter after running out of fuel.

And what a strange scene this one has created.

In a new image from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, high-energy X-rays emanating from the nebula around PSR B1509-58 have been colored blue to reveal a structure resembling a hand reaching for some eternal red cosmic light.

The star now spins around at the dizzying pace of seven times every second -- as pulsars do -- spewing energy into space that creates the scene.

Strong magnetic fields, 15 trillion times stronger than the Earth's magnetic field, are thought to be involved, too. The combination drives an energetic wind of electrons and ions away from the dying star. As the electrons move through the magnetized nebula, they radiate away their energy as X-rays.

The red light actually a neighboring gas cloud, RCW 89, energized into glowing by the fingers of the PSR B1509-58 nebula, astronomers believe.

The scene, which spans 150 light-years, is about 17,000 light years away, so what we see now is how it actually looked 17,000 years ago, and that light is just arriving here.

A light-year is the distance light travels in a year, about 6 trillion miles (10 trillion kilometers).

Answer on What do you think the Earthquake in Italy is an indication of?

That pressures within the crust exceeded the crust's elastic limit.

English Knight: especially since the world has been cooling since 2001 and expected to continue to cool for at least 30 more years. I thought the hysteria would end with that study from the U. of Wisconsin was made public but, it is still here! Brainwashing seems to be the correct reason.

Yeah, Italy. They make them in bakeries. Actually, it's not all that simple. They make the cookie dough into a loaf shape on a flat pan, and bake it until it is firm. When it cools, they cut it into slices and then dry them out in the oven.

Question on alli?

2011-05-03T09:09:00.000-07:00

Just wondering if anyone has tried the weight loss pill Alli? If so does it really work? I have been doing Weight Watchers but my wedding is in May. I have about 20 lbs that i want to lose.

Answer on Question on alli?

Lol honey, a woman at my work has been doing the alli, and though it does work (so she says) you're going to have to wear diapers!!!

SERIOUSLY!!!

read up online about some of the side effects, they are so horrible... there are some super-funny horror stories too... about people waking up with leak-age (I know gross)

It basically blocks your body from taking in more fat, so you excrete it instead. She said she had at least one accident a day while taking alli, and always had extra clothes with her. (She also explained that the leak-age looked very oily/greasy and was sometimes bright orange) She said it got so bad that she stopped taking it. She said she was horrified to even eat anything for she was afraid it had fat in it, it made the problem worse!!!

I'm dead serious about this too, google horror stories about alli and see what pops up!!!

Good luck and congrats on the wedding!!!

Could this be from VRE?

2011-04-28T01:07:00.000-07:00

My brother has had blood diarrhea for the last three months. He lost 45 pounds in one month. He's 19, he has never had surgery. He was admitted to the hospital, and the only thing he has tested positive for is VRE which we were told is very rare, and only treatable by one type of antibiotic. He's also having a colonoscopy tomorrow, but could the VRE cause the bloody diarrhea, the blood loss, the weight loss, and could it have lasted for months?

Answer on Could this be from VRE?

yes it could, this sounds like a very severe case though, he should get better after antibiotic therapy, 45 pounds is a very big deal, especially if he was already thin prior to infection. i think he will make a full recovery now that the pathogen is identified, it can be taken care of.

Rapid weight loss suggestions?

2011-04-26T18:03:00.000-07:00

My wedding is in 7 weeks and I really have to lose this 20 pounds. Yeah yeah, its too much, to quick, ill gain it back, blah blah. It's fine.
Any suggestions on how to lose this? How often to work out, how extreme do I need to go?

Answer on Rapid weight loss suggestions?

Hi there,

Last yr, I got my own first baby. I was in fact happy - until such time as it came the second to get started in dropping off the weight from my child birth. I was in fact so sad with my overall body - I felt like my own hubby was far from interested to me at all, also I felt disgusting in all of my previous outfits - they were found to be a great deal tighter when compared with what I could quite possibly recollected.

I tried out heading back to my former diet and exercise routine, still nothing helped. I had been capable to erase a tiny amount of surplus weight, yet somehow I could definitely not get back again to my weight long before I got a kid. It wasn’t until finally I tried an exclusive weight loss program that I actually witnessed a difference in my weight. I will tell you that I am hesitant in relation to lose weight programs but the program featured a cash back guarantee, which provided me the possibility to try this without the fear of blowing my money.

Within fourteen days, I'd already diminished fourteen lbs. I really could not imagine the wonderful outcomes I'd been achieving within my shape. I'd been so proud of the all around success - I had the excess fat I wanted off within thirty days, as well as felt wonderful and fit, and even better shape as compared to I was prior to my newborn.

To stay away from being referred to as spammer by yahoo, it not easy for me personally to provide the specific website link. If ever you are probably interested concerning the program, simply googled 'powerful remedies' and browse the very first websites. Anyway my apologies for my horrible english language.

Do you want to look beautiful? I don't want to look beautiful!?

2011-04-20T21:05:00.000-07:00

I would like to share to you what I have to go through every single day:

1. I am immediately stereotyped by strangers as dumb (even though I;m not).
2. People--friends, relatives, frenemies, boys, girls and gay alike watch my every move.
3. People think I'm a B*tch when I speak my mind and a show-off when I try to be friendly and kind.
4. Every girl I know who is the same age as me have tried hating me for no appropriate reason.
5. I have to deal with stalkers who have tried to track down even my home address.
6. Women look at me from head to foot and when they notice I'm physically faultless, they make a straight face and look the other way around. And I'm like WTH is wrong with you?
7. Its really scary how some boys look at me.
8. Not a single day would pass without guys messaging me on my fb account, texting and even calling me to the point that it gets so annoying.
9. I have seen some of my pictures being used by other people without my consent.
10. I have like more than 10 accounts on fb, twitter, friendster and MySpace that I didn't create.
11. You are always pressured to have a good looking boyfriend
12. No matter how hard I try not to catch attention, I just always do.

It feels good to look good but not too much! I want to look normal!!!!!!!!! IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME? I THINK EVERYONE HATES ME!

Answer on Do you want to look beautiful? I don't want to look beautiful!?

2 People watch me suspiciously
3 People get scared when I speak my mind
4 I am hated by girls who I've never even talked to
5 I deal with people treating me like a stalker when I am just saying hi
6 Women avoid me
7 It's scary how some guys look at me very defensively.
8 Not a single day goes by where I don't lose a friend on facebook.
9 no comment
10 I create multiple accounts to contact people that block me
11 I am always pressured to 'wait for the right girl (girl that doesn't exist)'
12 No matter how hard I try to fit in, I can't.

Could someone read this story and tell me how good it is?

2011-04-18T15:18:00.000-07:00

Chapter 1
She picked up her pen and tapped it on the edge of her desk as she searched her mind for words. Why did her teacher choose the last day of school to make her do the hardest thing in the world? The 2 page paper was due at the end of class. It was not something she could just pull out of her head; things like these took at least the night it was assigned, especially if it was “creative writing.” Ugh, that was the worst. Alyssah could talk all day, but when you tried to get her to write something other than her name, she clammed up.

He tapped his chewed pencil on the edge of his desk as he read over his five page paper. The end of 11th grade was here, and he wasn’t looking forward to a whole summer at home. Home was the last place he wanted to be, especially with his dad off payroll. Not fun. The teacher walked down the strip of floor between the ancient desks and stopped when she got to him. Oh no. Was she going to make him talk to her? Why couldn’t she just be happy that he was willing to go above and beyond in his academics? So what if Verbal reports brought his grades down, so what if he didn’t talk unless he absolutely had to? Mrs. Caprio should just be happy with what he could do. She looked over his shoulder and her eyebrows shot up as she observed the five pages instead of the two that were required. She kept walking. God bless her! Maybe she wasn’t so bad. He scanned the classroom, and his eyes automatically stopped when he saw the girl in the front right corner, going almost cross-eyed in her attempts to drag words into her head and fill the two sheets of paper in front of her. Sometimes he wondered if it was him that was a freak or her, ‘cause he knew that two people couldn’t be that different without one of them being abnormal. Nope, it just wasn’t possible.
Drew thought her name was Alice or something like that. He always felt he knew her, even though he had only talked to her once, when she asked him if he could help her with a paper she was attempting to write, He had just said no, so he didn’t think that would count as a real conversation. But he did say something to her, so that was something. Sometimes he wondered why she was so interesting to him, when he hardly knew her. He wanted to know what she had written, but of course maybe that was just the small part of him that wasn’t completely antisocial making an appearance for once. He didn’t think of himself as shy, just not willing to speak to anyone, as if it wasn’t worth it. He wasn’t better, just completely different than them.

The bell rang and the two got up at the same time, but opposite of each other. One of them in the front of the room surrounded by friends, one in the back and alone. The girl and the boy. Both of them were sad, but about different things. Drew was sad about the idea of spending a summer with his non-Christian and angry parents. Alyssah was sad about failing her creative writing elective and facing her parents’ high expectations for her. Little did they know that both of those things would soon be forgotten. Both walked to the teacher’s desk, both looking very embarrassed, but again, for different reasons. One embarrassed about failing, the other embarrassed about having to speak, but I bet you can guess which one is which. They were both so embarrassed and preoccupied that they weren’t watching where they went.

Chapter 2

Alyssah:
She had to talk to Mrs. Caprio. Alyssah walked forward… slowly, then quicker, almost running, until she collided with the boy who sat in the back row, his name was Drake, she thought. Ouch. She fell back, and hit her head. Drake did too. But he fell forward. So next thing she knew, they were piled in a heap on the floor, along with their backpacks and about half of the stuff that was on their poor teacher’s desk. He rolled over at about the same time she did. They untangled themselves and looked up at the teacher. She was smirking like she knew something Alyssah didn’t. Drake looked completely dazed.
Alyssah and what she thought was Drake got up at the same time, but unfortunately they both leaned forward to get their backpacks at the same time too, so they smashed their heads together in a very un-harmonized way. She looked around in a stunned sort of way, then proceeded to collect her pink messenger bag and then pick up half of the teachers papers, he did the same, but not with a pink messenger bag, his was a black backpack with holes in all the wrong places. He put the teachers stuff back on her desk, then looked at the teacher.
Ummmmm…… I was umm….. just going to…. Ummm never mind, I forgot” He looked like he was about to die. Was it really that hard for him, when he only had to say a few sentences? Alyssah looked at him with what she hoped was more sympathy then curiosity. She hoped he could learn something from her, and she gave him a look that said she wanted him to watch and learn.
Mrs. Caprio, I wanted to talk to you about my grade for this c

Answer on Could someone read this story and tell me how good it is?

I read it and I thought it was pretty interesting and entertaining. I think just a little more detail would really top it off. As the reader we have no clue what these characters look like, and appearance can tell quite a bit about a character without having to actually state it, if you know what I mean. Also, what are they writing about? The summer? Senior year? What they liked about their junior year? Also, why did you mention that his parents are non-christian, and if they are not christian, what are they?
One thing I particularly liked about it was your comparison about how different they were, and how he is wondering which one of them is abnormal. I think it speaks volumes about his personality and society in general.

What's up with them/ was i wrong?

2011-04-16T17:13:00.000-07:00

My friend and I, who are both over weight, planned to lose weight together before senior year. We both have a lot of weight to lose. My friend has recently joined a gym, and has been doing great! I too plan to join that same gym. However I have also made plans with my parents to get the Lap Band surgery. This will only aid in my goal to lose my desired amount of weight with in my goal time. When I shared this with her, and her family (who are also over weight) while joking about how much her and I planned to lose next year, they immediately began to nit pick my decision, calling it "the easy way out". i argued the point that what ever tool gets me to my healthy desired weight, I planned to use it. They then said that getting the lap band won't change anything. And i argued that it only aids in dieting, and that the diet required after the surgery is very strict and will also aid in my new lifestyle. They continued to say that i was just being lazy and i could easily diet. I understand that but I also wish to lose this weight by the allotted time. Continuously nit picked my decision until I said that they were the last people i would take my advice from seeing how they were all over weight, then i added that if there advice was so good they should take it themselves and until they are walking around looking like Kim Kardashian, i would not listen to their "advice". that was a week ago. Now if i even mention the surgery to other friends my friend is constantly calling me out! What is her issue? My other best friend says jealousy. And do you think they [her family] took offense to what i said?

Answer on What's up with them/ was i wrong?

At the end of the day, they are not you and only your opinion matters. Everyone has their different ways to go about losing weight. They should respect your method. I do sense jealousy, as if you're going to lose weight easier and faster while they might still be overweight while you have a new slimmer body. Either way they need to respect your decision, if not then they need to keep shut about it at least instead of being in constant debate.

Why is Justin Beiber so liberal?

2011-04-13T11:28:00.000-07:00

Canadian pop star Justin Bieber says he will never become an U. S. citizen because of the America’s health-care system.

You guys are evil,” he jokingly tells Vanessa Grigoriadis in an upcoming interview with Rolling Stone. “Canada’s the best country in the world. We go to the doctor and we don’t need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you’re broke because of medical bills. My bodyguard’s baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby’s premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home.”

Answer on Why is Justin Beiber so liberal?

Justin Beiber is an ignorant kid. There is no such thing as getting something for free. We all end up paying for it some where down the line.

My friend tried to commit suicide?

2011-04-03T02:27:00.000-07:00

I have this friend on Twitter that i've been talking to for about 6 months now
and today i found out that her dad left her and her family when she was younger and she tried to kill herself, i asked her if she's ok now and she said she still has some problems. what can i say to her to convince her it's not right to kill herself in a nice way that she wouldn't get hurt in anyway? i really like her and i wouldn't want her to die :( help? no mean or inappropriate answers please!

Answer on My friend tried to commit suicide?

You can do what I have done for cutters and suicidal people, Ask them what they like best, Like anything they enjoy. and keep talking to them in a positive way. I have had some really pretty young ladies, not think they measure up to others. You can be a positive point for them. Talk with them about why they feel like they do. It takes you to reach out and be a positive part of their life. Some have started journals and go back sometime later and read what was going on in their life. But don't preach, and be a friend, not a person that tries to saves them.

Can I do a stopover with Italian trains?

2011-03-31T00:50:00.000-07:00

For example, I want to go from A to C by train and have to change train at B. Can I stop over at B for several hours and continuing to C without paying any extra fee? Is this allowed in Italy? I know I can do this in Switzerland. Please help me. Thank youuu...

Answer on Can I do a stopover with Italian trains?

Basically, it depends on the train you take. If you take the Eurostar or any train with a seat reservation, you're committed to taking the train at the time listed on your ticket.

If you have a ticket without a seat reservation, there is usually a time limit for validity. For example, say you want to go from Naples to Florence but have to change trains in Rome. The ticket will say something like, "Travel must be completed within 7 hours of validation" (or whatever time limit is nominal for the length of the trip you're taking). As long as you arrive in Florence by the time the 7 hours are up, you're fine. If not, you should buy two separate tickets.

Buon viaggio!

Some questions about my pregnant rat?

2011-03-28T15:11:00.000-07:00

Well my rat has been pregnant for about 5 days now and i wanted to know...
Should i change her diet?
Should i change her bedding for when she gets closer to giving birth (right now she has wood shavings and some shredded paper for a nest)?
And tips that could help with making sure her and her babies are healthy:)

Answer on Some questions about my pregnant rat?

Please don't use wood shavings :) It's too dusty for them and will cause respiratory problems.

You should place in a shoebox, for her privacy and she will feel safe and the darkness will help her look after the babies.
Her diet doesn't really need to be changed, but a few vitamin drops in her water will help her.
She'll also need some extra warm and fluffy (Or shredded newspaper is fine really) bedding just to help keep her babies warm when she's walking around her cage for food/water etc.
Also, in a week or two once the babies strat walking around, you should becareful of them fitting through the bars and escaping, the naughty little rascals :P

You can touch the babies after 2 or 3 days if you have a good relationship with the mother. Give her treats to reassure her :)
Goodluck!

Moving to Italy in 2009 ot 2010 need some advise on what to actually do there?

2011-03-25T04:07:00.000-07:00

so im moving to italy and my friend is actually going there before me i need to know what kind of things must i do before i leave aside from the passport and all that work - visa stuff. how much should i bring with me? I mean i dont know italian im going to take classes and i only have my high school back ground. what type of work might i get there?

Answer on Moving to Italy in 2009 ot 2010 need some advise on what to actually do there?

You might not get good work. Then again, if it's anything like I've heard, you might just be better qualified than some of the natives. Count on probably working at a restaurant or something average like that. Speaking English and Italian may be a plus for you. You can look into working at their American embassy or something like that if you have other qualifications Good luck and I wish you well.

Is England Rotten To The Core?

2011-03-22T10:34:00.000-07:00

All I here and see on the news everyday is the decline of society and the economy in England. Whether it be greedy bankers bankrupting the country in a bid to make more money than they could ever need and supported by the Labour government or failing social work departments that leave children in the care of child abusers. Failing schools where teachers cant teach and kids leave unable to read or write. The bad news never ends.

Now I'm hearing on the news that oil company Total are shipping in cheap labour from Italy and replacing skilled English workers in order to maximise profits.

Is no one standing up and being counted in this country that held out against the Nazis?

Answer on Is England Rotten To The Core?

The nazis were an outside threat. What threatens English society now is the burgeoning cultural neo marxism of political correctness and gender feminism which is already here.

The idea is to bring about a totalitarian state - you can't say what you like, you can't think what you like and you are prohibited from expressing your traditions and promoting western culture - in your own so called free country.

You can be fined for leaving your bin too far from the road side or for putting the wrong rubbish in the wrong container. You can be discriminated against legally if you're a white man trying to get a job. Anything can be deemed offensive to minorities and changed or banned without a single person from those minorities complaining.

We, the English, have let this happen. We'll moan about "political correctness gone mad" or "the nanny state", but we won't do anything about it. The generation that fought the nazis would not have put up with the way the country is run today.

The irony is that the nazis wouldn't put up with it either. Hitler threw the politically correct doctrine out of Germany as he thought it was mad. Imagine that.

I want to help a friend to get in italy but i du not no what to du?

2011-03-14T01:03:00.000-07:00

i have a friend, down in my country and i would lioke her to join me here in italy, what du i need to get her here

Answer on I want to help a friend to get in italy but i du not no what to du?

You really don't have any options. Unless you are a citizen and can marry her? Otherwise she would have to get a student Visa or apply to come to Italy legally. Either way the Italians will look very closely at why she wants to come there, and most likely not welcome her to Europe.

What's the youngest age of a girl Justin Bieber would date?

2011-03-10T19:44:00.000-08:00

Does Jb say it in an interview or at least what do u think?

Answer on What's the youngest age of a girl Justin Bieber would date?

He said the youngest would be thirteen. An interviewer asked him "Would you date a thirteen year old?" and he said, "Well, Romeo was sixteen and juliet was thirteen, so I could definitely be someones Romeo" <3

Liverpool fans: Have you been surprised by Cesare Prandelli's comments leading up to tomorrow's game?

2011-03-05T18:15:00.000-08:00

He says that his team needs "a lot of luck" to stop Fernando Torres, that he is "nervous" about the game, and that facing Liverpool will be a "great experience".

You would expect those sorts of comments from the manager of Burton Albion in an FA Cup fourth round tie - not from the manager of the fourth best team in Italy, and especially not when they're the home side.

You expect a certain degree of respect, and you expect them to maybe acknowledge that Liverpool are favourites...but Prandelli seems to be bracing himself for the very worst.

I can definitely see where Rafa was coming from when he said Italian clubs have the wrong mentality. Fiorentina have a great chance of getting something from tomorrow's game, but if they go into it thinking like that, you can't see them getting anything.

Answer on Liverpool fans: Have you been surprised by Cesare Prandelli's comments leading up to tomorrow's game?

Expect the worst and you'll never be disappointed, I guess?

All the comments he's made are true though, it's near impossible to stop torres, and the amount of goals we are scoring right now, I think a hammering may be on the cards, especially if thats the way they're looking at it.

C'mon Liverpool!! YNWA.

Training advice for Wire Fox Terrier - attitude problems!?

2011-03-04T15:33:00.000-08:00

Hello all: I know I answer a lot of training advice questions myself, but I'm just a groomer. I have worked with hundreds of dogs with different backgrounds and attitudes, and now I have my own little problem child.

She is a 9 year old Wire Fox Terrier - I took her home A) because I wanted one and B) she was an owner surrender from a divorce situation. I know next to nothing about how this dog was treated at her prior homes (she's been in two since the divorcing family) but am knowledgeable about the breed. I've been grooming and researching them for years.

Anyway - here's my problem. And I'm hoping someone out there with more training experience can give me something else to try:

She has this spoiled brat attitude. She dies for attention constantly, and is very attached to myself, my younger sister (19) and my younger brother (22). We are all home at different times. All 3 of us have jobs to hold down but afterwards we usually hang at home. I adopted her in early December. She is psychotic in the crate, and has even managed to figure out how to collapse a wire crate to get out if we put a lock on the latch. SO, for her safety, we have started just putting her in the bathroom, and she is a lot calmer in there. She won't sleep in the crate overnight, either, but she is good just laying on a pile of clothes (She is NOT allowed on the bed due to dominance problems.)

She now not only is an idiot in the crate, she has started peeing on our beds. If she wants something, be it attention, to be fed (she's on a schedule), let out, walked, whatever, she doesn't do anything to get your attention. She will just stand there silent, or not even get up out of her little bed at all. She doesn't whine, carry on, paw, pace like our other dog does, and we've even been trying to teach her to ring a bell on the back door to go potty. Not happening. She's done it a couple of times and we've been super vigilant about acting on it right away and praising her, but its like she doesn't want to bother. I've been noticing the pattern with the peeing in the house - The last time she did it, it was on the floor in front of my sister's bedroom door. She had friends over (who the dog is gaga over - she loves those little girls) and she was just standing out in the hallway, and next thing I know I hear my sister all grossed out because there was a huge puddle of pee flowing into her bedroom (They weren't paying attention to her! But she didn't do anything to GET their attention!)

I've tried the daycare route, but she knows how to 'spider dog' over even the tallest fences, plus it stresses her out horribly. She's got major separation anxiety issues as well. She's just a hot mess. We've been working on eliminating dominance issues, and so far so good, up until the peeing in the house (not just the beds, she'll pee on the rug next to my dad's chair also, if she can't get to a bed) And the bad part is, she is sneaky about it. She doesn't make a sound, and unless you have eyes like a security camera, she just gets up, stretches and wanders around for a little bit - BUT doesn't always pee - only when she's apparently ticked.

So... anyone else deal with this problem? I'm at my wits end - I rolled over into cold soaked in dog pee right next to and under my pillow at 1am this morning. I was ready to take her to the shelter right then and there but she will stress out and get sick if I do that. It's like a frikken war of the wills.

Answer on Training advice for Wire Fox Terrier - attitude problems!?

A-have you VETTED it for bladder infection??? Stones?
B-it's freaking NINE! & obviously allowed it's own way for all that time.

thanks a lot. please answer it honestly not based on jealousy,

Answer on Justin bieber, fade away or last longer?

He might last like Justin Timberlake.
Keep in mind, his voice will change once puberty starts, lol.
& I heard he said he's considering on cutting his hair one day - no offence but he's gone if does that lmfao. Most girls are obsessed with his "cuteness" or "hotness" really.
But with his fanbase right now, it really seems like he'll last.

She looks older than her age.

He probably does.

I think Victoria Justice is prettier. :p

Why did i react so violently after being "put under" for wisdom teeth?

2011-02-18T06:21:00.000-08:00

i got my wisdom teeth taken out friday morning but i am just now finding out what happened afterwards. the only thing i remember about the whole ordeal is falling asleep while singing to lady gaga's bad romance and waking up in bed in extreme pain. apparently after i woke up from the anesthesia i started screaming and trying to take all the needles out and yelling at the nurse for trying to kill me. they wouldnt let me go until i calmed down. apparently i scared away a few customers. but i dont remember any of this. what i dont get is why did i act like this? that isnt like me at all. is this normal? this was my first time to ever be "put under" or have surgery of any kind. what is up with this?

Answer on Why did i react so violently after being "put under" for wisdom teeth?

It makes me wonder what oral surgeons do for anesthesia. Sounds like a pretty poor job of it.

They practice outside of what we consider to be safe, so I can't even imagine what they gave you.

Some people do wake up violent after anesthesia, but it's pretty rare. You might want to get a copy of your records from the oral surgeon. If you need anesthesia again, you can show the anesthesiologist a copy of what you got, and they might be better able to figure out what happened.

What should I write to a dear friend who lost his mother?

A friend of mine lost his mother. I live in Italy and he lives in the US. I'm quite good in english but I never wrote condolences letters and I have no ideas where to start. In this cases it's always hard to find the right words, especially if you want to offer your sympathy in a language which is not yours. It means too much for me. I want to let him know that I am with him now. Please help me, I need deep messages and the ones that I found in websites were all the same. Thanks

Answer on What should I write to a dear friend who lost his mother?

I don't know but in my opinion speaking to your friend can be more effective than writing a letter

Answer on Im feeling down because i have no talents..couple of questions.?

many people have a talent that coincides with what they're passionate about. For me, that's writing. I may not be "talented," per se, but I love it enough to say that I am. What do you like? What can you see yourself doing in the future? Start getting more involved with what you love.

How can I convince my mom to let me follow a diet?

2011-02-05T18:25:00.000-08:00

Well, as any other teenage girl I have some weight issues. I'm almost 20 kilo's overweight and I'm sick of it. So I thought the most responsible thing to do was to go on a diet. I found a calorie restricting diet plan on a dutch nutrition site that tells me what I can and can't eat in one day.
(With an exercise plan)
I showed my mom and the started yelling at me! telling me I was crazy and jumped to the conclusion that I got it from a pro ana website! She's been obese all her life and I just don't wanna be like that when I'm old.
How can I convince her that I really need this?

Answer on How can I convince my mom to let me follow a diet?

why not just tell her you want to eat healthily rather than diet, because the word diet sort of sounds like restricting food.

I am going to be traveling with one other person to Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Isle of Mann, Britain, Belgium, The Netherlands, France, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, and possibly Egypt. The time frame of our trip will be from the beginning of June until September. I have been looking on the internet for things to do over there, but it's always better to get advice from people who have already been there or who live there. Please let me know if you have anything that you would recommend!

Answer on What are some interesting but somewhat inexpensive things to do in Europe?

That's a lot of places to see! I can help with Ireland.. I've written a travel guide with sample itinerary there that should help you:

Salary of a fashion journalist/writer?

2011-01-16T10:33:00.000-08:00

I've done a lot of research. I'm trying to figure my career options out. I'm very interested in art, design, and fashion. I've decided that being a fashion journalist/writer would be very interesting. Mostly because if I'm good enough to work my way to the top, I have a good chance of traveling to top shows in places like New York, Paris, Italy, ect.

I am also aware that the job has many other competitors with the same idea as me. But I have big dreams...I've had my mom and my family telling me what I can and can not do. It's only made me stronger and more persistent :)
I also find the job to be something I would excel at because I like busy schedules, being crammed, and stressed. Don't ask why, I just do. I'm a bit of a workaholic. Obviously, I'm up at 1:00 in the morning on the weekend doing homework that isn't due for a week...

So the question: What is the salary for someone in this job? I've heard it's about $28,000 - $38,000 a year which is pretty good. Well for someone living on their own. (I don't really plan on getting married or having a family. I've been through way to many bad relationships, and I'd rather be alone. Plus, I like working more then being distracted by people and their affairs.)

Answer on Salary of a fashion journalist/writer?

you are right salary is pretty good if you can deliver the needed results. Suggest check out www. ipatguide. org

Answer on Where are some cheap but good quality places to shop in Florence, Italy?

Maybe you should try to go to the outlet in Barberino di Mugello

I'm scheduled to have a thyroidectomy in early March. Neither my endocrinologist or my surgeon have gone over

2011-01-04T14:24:00.000-08:00

the possible side effects of taking hormone replacement pills after the surgery. I've read about a lot of possible negative side effects (weight gain, hair loss, tiredness, etc.). Is it strange that no one has discussed this with me yet?

Answer on I'm scheduled to have a thyroidectomy in early March. Neither my endocrinologist or my surgeon have gone over

I have had this operation. I have had many surgeries but I have to admit that this is one of the LEAST painful places on your body to have surgery.

You will wake up with a tube in the opening at the base of your throat for a day or 2 for drainage & a small bandage over it. ( A lot like a trach.) Sleep as much as you can after surgery & do not talk too much, if at all for a few days afterwards. Whisper if necessary for your throat's sake. =)

I have also been on the thyroid pills since & have NO side effects whatsoever. You are right! Seems no one ever talks about the replacement hormones before really. I sure hope this helps you then.

The pills are geared to your own levels in your blood, so they might start you off on a wee low dose pill called "Thyroxin or Levothyroxin" & see how you feel from that, but it will be comparable with what your own body was trying to maintain prior to having it out.

I suspect you have had a lot of side effects from your thyroid itself, which will send you round the bend & back already. Everything is monitored by your blood work, so the first year or 2 it is wise to have it done as often as the Endocrinologist advises you to do so.

Your body temperature is regulated by your thyroid, as is your weight, among a few other things. However, if your eyes are starting to bug out - which you WILL notice fast, then you get yourself back to the Doctor asap or Emerg to have your blood work redone & pills reissued.

Monitor how you feel all the time for the year after your surgery so you know what normal should feel like & can pick up on abnormal fairly fast to avoid the drug issues. My prayers are with you as you go into this & beyond!

Is this unhealthy for my hair?

2011-01-03T16:43:00.000-08:00

So I am a guy and this has nothing to do with Justin Bieber, but I have his haircut. Well the one that he used to have till he started trying out new styles. Anyways just forget I mentioned that. It has always been my hairstyle.

Anyways I have been doing this new thing for a week now and so far it works great and my hair looks great. People have been mentioning to me that it looks great. The thing is, I am not sure if what I am doing is healthy for it or not. I first wash my hair with shampoo and then put on conditioner. When I get out of the shower, I take my towel and rub my hair till it starts to dry up a bit. Then I start flipping it to the side and I sort of move it around with my hands and position my hair how I want it. When I think it looks good, I put on hair spray so it keeps its position. I don't put on too much till it gets hard. Just to the point where it will keep itself where I want it. Then when my hair drys with the hairspray, I go to bed. I wake up the next morning and it does get slightly messed up, but that doesn't matter. I just comb it to where it was the night before. Then I put more hairspray on. The same amount I put on the night before. Then it looks good when I go to school.

My concern is that am I putting on too much hair spray? Is it unhealthy for my hair? Does my method for styling my hair sound good or am I doing too much. Please let me know, thanks.

Answer on Is this unhealthy for my hair?

lol i love how clueless guys are. itll be ok

Is this possible in such a short space of time?

2011-01-02T17:42:00.000-08:00

right, im 13,
and i have heard all of the, eat well and exercise cut out sugary foods ect.
AND i have heard all about how you should eat breakfast and not starve ect ect.

BUT..

i have been on a diet ( sorta healthy living type of thing) with my mum for the past month,
but i get bored and end up eating, and when my friend {who is seriously skinny} eats choc i want to too, and yes i do.

i have 9 weeks and 6 days until i go on holiday to my nans villa with my dad and his girlfriend and i cant stand the thought of getting into my bikini,
so i need help,
tips,
anything,
please just help me,

im doing charley brooks DVD, but im finding it really hard,
and im trying to do some step aerobics but it is KILLING me doing more than 5 minutes :(

my main areas of concern are;

upper legs
belly,
back,
&sides

i know it isnt go to happen miracly but i would like to lose at least a stone or stone and a half? im not fussed either way.

Answer on Is this possible in such a short space of time?

You kids tear me up LOL.

Listen honey, you can just forget losing the stone. You obviously don't have the will power or the discipline based on your declarations of your friend and the chocolate and how the aerobics is killing you. You're whining and you haven't even started anything yet! You're trying to lose weight in 9 weeks which is completely fine and completely possible.. but not if you're gonna be a baby about it (yes, I'm tough but sometimes that's just what you need to get the point).

If you're serious then you'll start listening to the people who told you to eat well, cut the sugar and exercise. If not, then learn to love your fat and keep doing what you're doing.

Stop hanging out with chocolate-eating friend or tell your friend not to eat chocolate around you. Eat only the things that you know are good for you like veggies, fruit, lean meats and watch your portions sizes. Snack on fruit (remember that snacks are not meals so they should be very small and only when you absolutely need it) and drink lots of water. Get at least 40 minutes of sweat-producing exercise and 30 minutes of muscle strengthening exercises at least 5 days per week and see what a difference it makes. Once you start seeing the results, you'll never look at chocolate the same. However, if you happen to be a chocoholic as I am, you can get the extra dark chocolate made with 85% cocoa as a snack from time to time. They are usually very low in sugar and can cure those chocolate cravings without packing on the pounds.

Good luck to you!

Are you going to be Obama'd today in doing simply everyday things?

2010-12-29T10:44:00.000-08:00

Putting any gas in your car, up 80%?
Going grocery shopping, a piece of fish is up 25%
Going to use the ATM machine, hows that $5 use fee feel?
Looking for a job today? How's that stack of 500 resumes on the interviewers desk looking to you?

Answer on Are you going to be Obama'd today in doing simply everyday things?

The increased prices we're paying for everything today are a result of the accumulation of years of monetary and social policy decisions. Those decisions, however evil, can not accurately be blamed on just one man - no matter how much he believes in them, and though he be a man of considerable influence.

Obama is, without a doubt, partially to blame for our current situation. I'm furious about the policies of the Obama administration. But I refuse to use the President as a scapegoat for the problems he did not create, like the US Federal Reserve Bank (Nelson Aldrich, JP Morgan and friends), Welfare (FDR), Social Security (FDR again), the FDIC (FDR yet again), or the repeal of the gold standard (Dick Nixon).

How do I get my dad to get me some games?

2010-12-27T13:04:00.000-08:00

I don't mean video games. I mean like group things that people used to have fun playing with. I want to get tarot cards, I like to scare people with the fear of the future. I also want to get a ouji board, to communicate and such. I want to test my theories on the board to see if its just our psychology or if it really works. How can I get my very christian and anti-wiccan dad to get these for me? I have no idea where in the small town of yuma I can get these. I used to use these games as a part of my beloved childhood(I'm a teenager, but I say it is past childhood).

Answer on How do I get my dad to get me some games?

Well, first off, these are not Wiccan games.... they aren't even part of Wicca (unless a Wiccan just happens to feel like doing them). They both pre-date Wicca.

I don't know that you are ever going to change his mind, though. He obviously doesn't think their games, he believes they are a real threat.

This is his faith, which you admit is important to him-- is playing games with these things so important that you have to bug your dad to violate his conscience?

Can you help me with other options about staying in the country for longer than 3 months ...?

2010-12-25T05:06:00.000-08:00

I arrived in Italy as an Aupair September first. December 1st will be the 3 month stay, and as a tourist visa... that will expire. I go home for vacation december 6th, and return to Italy december 16th. It is not possible for me to return in italy now.. because I will have overstayed in Italy by 6 days...

Does anybody have any options they could open up for me?
The family that I work for and I are thinking, and I need to come back in Italy for work!

So far there has been the idea of me getting a new passport in Canada where my home is... But around that time... a year ago I got a new passport and it took 2 months to get, I dont know why it took so long. ANYWAYS, that plan wont work.

The other one is me not going home at all for vacation, which I truly hate, and the tickets are not refundable! I would ask the family to pay for them, SINCE... they left the contract to the last minute, which risks me not getting back into Italy again. I asked for the contract multiple times before, anyways thats not the problem anymore. But we just mailed the contract out today.

And december is only 2 weeks away now, and It's really rushing things.

I need other OPTIONS if you know some!!!
Thank you so much!

Answer on Can you help me with other options about staying in the country for longer than 3 months...?

First, if you're here as a tourist then you are working illegally unless you have a working holiday visa. You probably don't have one of those because they only apply to stays over 90 days. You need a visa that allows you to work and stay here to be here legally. Just getting a new passport doesn't work - you will have already been here the allowed 90 days and you would have to wait 90 days before returning regardless of the overstay. Note that your 90 days expires on November 30, not December 1 since October had 31 days. Just staying leaves you in a illegal status and you could face problems when you finally leave if you're not discovered before. Did you get or at least apply for a permesso di soggiorno when you arrived? That's also a requirement for being here legally.

As you may know, this is a hot topic here now and there are strict new laws being pushed through with serious sanctions: http://www. dailymail. co. uk/news/worldnew…

One possibility might be to go for a working holiday visa since you're Canadian. It may take a while to put everything in place, but you would then be legal. The website for visas is at: http://www. esteri. it/visti/home_eng. asp. There's a link to the application and information on any other requirements. It will cost you 60 euro.

Since when does music have a sell by date?

2010-12-24T00:37:00.000-08:00

I listen to a bit of modern music - Killers, Slipknot, Avenged sevenfold, Muse, etc.
But my true love is the oldies - Metallica, Kansas, Bon Jovi, Blue Oyster Cult, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath. My friends will ask me "What are you listening to?" to which I reply "The Revenge of Vera Gemini by the Blue Oyster Cult" or "Carry on Wayawrd Son by Kansas" and they mock me for listening to 'old' music. Since when has there been a time when a great track ceased to be so, when has music had a sell-by-date?
On top of that their idea of good music is Justin Bieber and JLS. In what universe is "Baby" better than "Baba O'Reilley" or "One Sot" better than "Number of the Beast"?

someone help me understand?

Answer on Since when does music have a sell by date?

there obviously is no sell by date

they are still selling music from the 50's, 60's, 70's etc

good stuff too

Dam how would you feel 10pts?

2010-12-22T15:36:00.000-08:00

You just re-met Mike from high school through myspace. You then exchanged numbers, and you got really close so you became best friends. The thing is y'all only kept a phone relationship txt, calls only (You only live 1 hr away from mike). You then told mike you liked him & began asking mike out to dinner but mike would always say "I'm busy" all the time. You then thought that was weird but didn't thought much of it until one day mike finally told you he was seeing a girl all along. He said the girl he's seeing was already taken but that her dude beats + treats her bad. You then backed away broken hearted & later mike comes and told you his girl just slept with his own cousin. Mike then told you to please forgive him for all the things he's done to you. Too little too late you just found a new guy "Eric" who your happy with now You then explained to mike you were happy with eric and that just wanted to be just friends with mike, so mike agreed to it and kept it moving but before mike agreed to your terms he said "I was hoping you'd be patient till next year but it's fine & i have a secret to tell you but i'll tell you when the time is right" you thought that was weird but you said ok.

One year later: Your still with Eric & Mike finally tells you the secret: He's a Millionaire he just bought a Million dollar condo with beach views + Drives a Ferrari. It's all true his own cousin confirmed it + you know Mikes cousin in person!.

How would you feel now?

34-23-35.5 Measurements?

2010-12-21T07:44:00.000-08:00

What are some good diet/exercise tips to get 36-24-36 measurements?

Answer on 34-23-35.5 Measurements?

Drink a lot of whole milk a day, and a lot of soymilk. Eat plenty of almonds, walnuts, lean proteins and whole-wheat pasta.

If you have a bicycle, the gears on the hardest setting to pedal and ride it everywhere.

Find an amount of weight that feels just a little heavy for you and follow this routine:
Workout A:
Deep (Butt below parallel) Squats
1 set 5 reps No weight
1 sets 5 reps 50% weight
2 sets 5 reps 100% of the weight

Backraises
3 sets 10 reps un-weighted

Workout B:
Deep squats
3 sets 10 reps un-weighted

Lunges
3 sets 5 reps un-weighted

Alternate every other day (EX: Monday – workout A, Wednesday - workout B, Friday - workout A. Next Week: Monday - workout B, Wednesday – workout A, Friday – workout A. Etc.) Add about 5 lbs to your squat each week, and 5 lbs to your lunges each week, until you cant complete the rep then scale it back and use the previous weight as your max.

Keep drinking plenty of milk and following that and soon you should maximize your butt’s size and roundness.

You can find more good info at http://www. crossfit. com and http://www. bodyrock. tv and feel free to email me with any questions or comments.

2010-12-17T21:10:00.000-08:00

started a diet 9 days ago. I weigh 280 pounds at 5'7

I used to consume, 2 ltrs of fizzy drinks. 4 bars of chocolate, 4 sandwiches, 3 bags of chips(crisps in england), like 2 high calorie dinners a day. Loads of bread per day. Basically a very unhealthy diet.

and now i consume,

veg, 2ltrs of water, fruit, fish, and some lean meat per day. Basically i try to eat 1200 cals a day, but i always manage to consume like 900-1,100.

i exercise for an hour dancing per day.
Will i definitely lose weight in the long run if i keep up with this??!! Please help and how much??!!

Answer on How much weight will lose in 3 months??!! please help?

definitely
make sure you burn more calories than you consume--but make sure you consume enough so that you are not weak--brain needs 50 carbs a day to function properly!

keep it up, it is hard to put a number on it--but depending on the workout, 50lbs is doable

I need to lose 5 pounds by July! 17 yr old teen?

2010-11-27T18:05:00.000-08:00

I weigh 105 currently and I want to lose 5 pounds by July. I am 5"1 and the fat remains mainly on my tummy. I know there is no such thing as spot reduction but i think if i were to lose 5 it would even out my body and i could also tone up. Because im short it makes me look stuby. I am excersizing 40min-1hr a day and mix cardio with weight train. Would it be best to jog outside for 45min + 15min or strength? What would be a good workout plan for me that I can do. I want a challenge of a workout and anything to strengthen my legs would be great. My diet is pretty good I eat whole wheat and try to eat my daily servings.

Thanks a bunch!

Answer on I need to lose 5 pounds by July! 17 yr old teen?

that's nothing! you will be able to do it by july, and have fun doing it too. Everytime i am watching t. v. i do squats and pushups during commercials. For cardio, i got a tennis racquet and i go outside for like thirty minutes and hit a tennis ball against a wall...it is an excelent work out and it's really fun. Bike anywhere within a mile, and use the stairs. You'll be good to go.
