Weight loss with Vitamin B6?

2012-02-14T12:08:00.000-08:00

I'm currently taking B6 and it has only been 3 days, but I feel more hungry and have more energy. Will weight loss be a positive long-term side affect?

Answer on Weight loss with Vitamin B6?

Vitamins B12 and B6 contribute to weight loss when combined with diet and exercise. B12 helps the body utilize energy more efficiently and higher activity levels mean more calories burned.

B vitamins also affect the metabolism and enable the body to break down fats and carbohydrates more effectively.

Dietary sources of vitamins B6 and B12 may improve overall nutrition, leading to weight loss.

What haircut would suit me the best? pics included?

2012-02-06T03:13:00.000-08:00

So right now I have long-ish hair with super long layers.. this time I want to go for more and shorter layers, but not what you'd call choppy. Something like this, maybe:

http://www.hairstyles99.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/selena-gomez.jpg

Would that suit my face?
I want a haircut that will slim down my chubby face, but I don't ever want to cut it short, at all.
Suggestions??

Sorry about the bad pictures...

B. A.R. F.-Raw Diet for dogs. Recipes & Tips?

2012-02-04T03:03:00.000-08:00

I have decided I want to feed a raw diet to my dogs. I've heard many good things about the diet and know of a couple people that have fed it for years. I undersatnd the basic idea of the diet, but need help getting started with it. If anyone has example recipes it would be very helpful. Also, when first introducing the diet to my dogs any tips on going about it would be great.

Answer on B.A.R.F.-Raw Diet for dogs. Recipes & Tips?

We started feeding our dog BARF over five years ago. He had regular digestive problems and was living on prescription Flagyl. We then talked with a holistic vet who recommended we use the BARF diet because it is closer to what a dog or wolf would eat in the wild. I was NOT convinced, even after researching the diet. Our vet wasn't "keen on it", either, but didn't object adamantly, so we gave it a go.

Our dogs digestive problems were cleared up in weeks and his stools were more like scat than...well, I won't describe it! We have since gotten another dog and both are healthy and happy, with great coats, great teeth and skin.

One thing I learned in my research is that if you feed BARF you need to make sure you are including all the ingrediants for their needs. A wolf or dog in the wild eat s the stomach and intestine contents first, which contain partially digested vegetation. The raw bones contain minerals and other nutrients.

Since we both work, we have opted to buy a pre-prepared frozen brand that is made with organic, non-antibiotic and non-hormone fed meats. (The brand we like is called PRIMAL.) We buy it frozen, about a month's supply at a time.

We give them Primal for breakfast, then one part of a chicken party-wing for dinner. We also give them 1/2 C of Hund-N-Flocken, a good quality dry kibble. (We don't want to have to give them a complete change of diet if we can't get our hands on Primal.)

I have no specific recipes, but the ingredients in Primal are:
Chicken, Chicken Necks, Ground Chicken Bones, Chicken Hearts, Organic Kale, Organic Carrots, Organic Yams, Chicken Livers, Organic Broccoli, Organic Apples, Organic Ground Flax Seed, Organic Cranberries, Organic Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar, Organic Parlsey, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Kelp, Organic Alfalfa, Organic Garlic, Mixed Tocopherols (Source of Vitamin E), and Organic Grapefruit Seed Extract. The Beef formula varies slightly. It is also available in Duck and Lamb, if you want to try those. (You'll note food is 100% grain free.)

The package says it is formulated to meet the nutrition levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages. AAFCO might be a good source (see link below) for you to review if you are going to create your foods -- just to make sure you're giving your dogs everything necessary.

For treats every few weeks we give them raw marrow bones.

I understand it's a bit scarey to stick your toes in the water on this one, but if you follow Safe Handling Instructions (the same as they are for handling meats for human consumption) you should be just fine.

Some people do have a problem with the additional cost of feeding raw, but the costs pale in comparison with veterinary bills and prescription medications.

Congratulations on your efforts and I wish your dogs long and healthy lives!

Cereal diet safe or not? i just want to lose weight fast!?

2012-02-02T09:48:00.000-08:00

I want to lose weight, so should I do the cereal diet? Raisin brand, & im not going to exercise, would I still lose weight? Thanks

Answer on Cereal diet safe or not? i just want to lose weight fast!?

Dear god, no.

Packaged cereal is pretty unhealthy.

If you want to use an extremely fast diet, look up protein sparing modified fasts. They'll bring you in at around 500-800 calories/day, and you won't be that hungry, and you will preserve muscle mass as much as possible.

Uncle Bill's Microwave Potato Chips
| 35 min | 10 min prep |

SERVES 4 -6

CALORIES: 284...FAT CAL:2

Ingredients
4 large potatoes (russet, yellow gold, white or red potatoes)
your choice spices (granulated garlic powder, seasoning salt, cayenne pepper, dried dill weed, granulated garlic powder,)
vegetable oil, for microwave bacon tray

Directions
1If potatoes are old, peel and slice thin, less than 1/16" in thickness (paper thin), slicing across the potato.
2If the potatoes are new or good skins, DO NOT PEEL, just scrub well, then slice them less than 1/16" in thickness (paper thin), slicing across the potato.
3Place potato slices in a bowl, sprinkle with some salt (if desired) cover with cold water and let sit for 10 minutes.
4Remove potato slices in batches onto paper toweling and pat dry.
5If you have a microwave bacon tray, rub the tray with a vegetable oil, then place the sliced potatoes flat on the tray in a single layer.
6Sprinkle with your choice of herbs or spices or just leave them plain.
7Cover with a microwaveable, round heavy plastic cover.
8Microwave on HIGH (full power) for 5 to 5 1/2 minutes or until they curl slightly and are a very light brown in color.
9Cooking time could vary slightly, depending on the wattage of your microwave and the thickness of the slices. The thinner the slices, the quicker they cook and the tastier they are.
10You do not have to turn the sliced potatoes over.
11If you do not have a bacon tray, use a microwave safe casserole dish.
12Rub the inside of the dish with some olive oil for the first batch of potato chips.
13I do not know why, but I find that if you do not rub oil the first time, some chips will tend to stick to the dish.
14After the first batch is done, you do not have to rub the dish again.
15Continue to microwave the remainder of sliced potatoes as noted above.
16If using a bacon tray, after the first batch is cooked, you can reduce the microwaving time to 4 1/2 minutes and even less as you continue to microwave each batch.
17NOTE: You can also use PARCHMENT PAPER to microwave the potato slices. Lightly spray or rub the parchment paper with some vegetable oil or a Pam Spary. Place your potato slices on the parchemnt paper, then sprinkle them with whatever you like and then place another piece of parchment paper on top. This will help microwave the potatoes more evenly and they should turn out nice and crisp. Microwaving time should be between 5 and 6 minutes.
18ADDITIONAL IDEAS, suggested by Deb K:.
19Granulated garlic powder with parsley.
20Cracked black pepper, grated parmesan and sea salt sprinkled after removing from microwave.
21Another, after removing chips from microwave, sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese, zap for a few seconds to melt the cheese, then add a dab of sour cream.
22A great dip is Robert Rothschild Farm Dips:.
23Emerald Isle Onion Dill and Horseradsih Dip.

Is my dorm mate stalking me?

2011-09-28T06:31:00.000-07:00

So I'm at small college right now. Next to my dorm I know a guy, and we tend to have alot of arguments. We don't get along quite well, and he doesn't seem to cooperate with me.
About a month ago I've been noticing a strange friend request I have on facebook, and they have no picture, information, nothing. And I'm their ONLY friend. Also the SAME EXACT thing happens to be on my Twitter as well, they both have the same username! Last week me and a friend were both chatting on uStream, and we both updated via twitter. Later on I got tired and was about to go to bed, when the person with the same username as the twitter/facebook kept asking me to come back, flooding my friends uStream.
This morning one of my other friends was getting an AIM username for the guy next to my dorm, and it turns out? The guy next to my dorm has the same exact username that's been stalking me. No one else knows about it.
The funny thing is via online we tend to have fun and bubbly conversations through uStream, he seems rather nice and caring.

Why is he doing this?

Answer on Is my dorm mate stalking me?

well, we can be anyone we like online, can't we, darling?

Buying a Toilet: Gerber Avalanche or Toto Drake II?

2011-09-19T07:32:00.000-07:00

I have heard good things about both brands. Also, it is going into a small bathroom so size may be an issue. Also, if anyone has another recommendation, let me know.

Thanks

Answer on Buying a Toilet: Gerber Avalanche or Toto Drake II?

If you just like wasting cash thats your business,.... Gerber is pretty proud of their units and Toto is Japanese designed.

I'd go with an Eljer or a Crane (both derived from the same company formed in 1904), a Briggs space-saver (very economical) or even an old reconditioned Kilgore. (the best unit ever made)

Toilets, just like anything else can be debated.... choose what fits the space and doesn't break the bank. There is no prestige in a water closet, no matter what they advertise; its an elimination station, thats it.

Would you bring hold luggage if you were going away for 3 nights?

2011-09-18T04:33:00.000-07:00

My daughters are flying to Italy for a wedding, they will be gone for 3 nights/4 full days. They are having a disagreement about bringing a checked bag on the plane which costs 30 euro. They are allowed 10kg of hand luggage but no liquids over 100ml are allowed in this and the dimensions of the bag are fairly small. So items such as shampoo, deoderant etc are problematic. They are staying in a guesthouse, not a hotel and are not sure what will be provided (Will there be a hair dryer for instance? We don't know) Also, the wedding is in the mountains so good weather is not guaranteed. One daughter wants to check a bag in the hold of the aeroplane and doesn't see how she can make do with only one small bag (to include the clothes for the wedding), the other daughter thinks this is ridiculous. What do you think?

Answer on Would you bring hold luggage if you were going away for 3 nights?

I generally don't take a checked bag for a trip this short, but I also don't carry clothes for a wedding or things like hair dryers. On the other hand, I also don't have to pay for checked bags due to my frequent flyer status. I just prefer to pack as light as possible and not wait for baggage on landing if it's not necessary. I have a very small folding umbrella that I carry when I go out exploring in Italy. It easily fits into a carry on, a purse, or in my pocket. The liquid items can most likely be purchased here on arrival for less than the 30 euro.

Why do they have to do the same thing? Let each one go with her own preference; if one thinks it's worth 30 euro, let her pay it and let the other go with a carry-on. The one with the carry on should try to pack what she thinks she needs in an appropriate bag before the last minute though.

Should I contact my friend that I haven't seen in ages?

2011-09-03T01:30:00.000-07:00

I have this friend on Facebook and she used to be my best friend but I haven't seen her for ages (like 5 years).

She sent a friend request to me (in 2010) and I accepted but I still haven't plucked up the courage the even say 'hi' yet.

I don't know if I should send her a message saying "Hi, I haven't seen you in ages. How are you doing? :D" or not.

Should I contact her and what should I say if I do?

I need help it's doing my head in!!

Any answer will be appreciated. :D xx

Answer on Should I contact my friend that I haven't seen in ages?

It sounds to me that you acknowledge her as an old friend (a good one) but have concerns that time has moved on and things have changed since then, your curious but maybe also... wary?

Personally I'd think back to how you fell out each others circles, and if for any reason it was a decision then it's probably best left, it was just by chance then you might start building a friendship again, just don't expect (or let) things to just go back to how they were... things are different now.

Can someone help me fine a spin off of the movie Troy?

2011-09-02T01:35:00.000-07:00

I was in Italy recently and we found this parody movie of Troy, on the only english channel. We could not find out what it was called though. It involved Achilles, Troy, Helen, all those people.. but it had a lot of sex jokes and was the whole movie was just for shits and gigs. For example, instead of the Trojan Horse, it was a wooden penis, and they threw out a white rope from the tip.
Does anyone know what movie this is?!

Answer on Can someone help me fine a spin off of the movie Troy?

Sounds
Like Monty python lol. I'm not sure but you could ask someone at a movie store or google it :3

I really need some help with my diet!?

2011-08-05T01:58:00.000-07:00

I need a new lifestyle, I want to become a healthier weight but this time the healthy way and not just under eating or starving myself because I know it doesn't work if I ever want to start eating again. I need to know the right things I should be eating, I've thought about this and here are my idea's (can of course be modified)

Fats- from dairy products mostly
Fiber
protein
I reduced/trying to cut out processed sugars
I don't drink pop, or juice. I usually just drink water or milk, sometimes crystal light
I also do not smoke or drink alcohol.
I eat minimal saturated fat, and no trans fat.

My exercise routine:
I run about a mile 3-4 if not 5 times a week (beginner runner) depending on my schedule, I'm in school to be a doctor so my time is limited and I have no time to go to the gym.
I also do weight loss yogalates for 42 minutes a couple times a week (in home yoga)

I need suggestions, no rude comments or you'll be reported.

Also, I do not eat meat (Except chicken) and I don't have time to eat 6 small meals a day since I'm in school every day all day and get one break.

For breakfast I eat oatmeal with fresh fruit.

Answer on I really need some help with my diet!?

Sounds like you've got everything on track. Just the "1 break a day" thing could somewhat be taxing on your body. I don't know what your schedule is other than all day, but can you keep some protein bars with you to nibble on? You may want to add some eggs or a protein shake in the morning along with the oatmeal and fruit for it to keep you fuller, longer, as well. I know when I even have a 4 hr span that includes 2 classes and a lab (all back to back) I start getting lightheaded b/c my body is used to getting food on a regular schedule. But anyways.. I think ur good on the exercise as well. Good luck with the education!

Hey guys,

Well, first of all, thank you for all of the Happy Birthday fanmails yesterday.

I'm thinking about rejoining twitter, as an adult now and no longer a child who got frustrated with the negative press and posers. I still want to connect with my fans, but I got tired of dealing with the online annoyances. I'm taking a survey to see if my fans want me back online. Let me know what you think!

Also, make sure to view the Who Owns My Heart music video. It's kinda old but needs more views!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Is it because of the hot weather, do they only do this in summer, where else also has this tradition. How long do they nap, the whole afternoon??

Answer on Why are people in Spain and Italy (?) take afternoon nap??

It's called a siesta and it's done throughout most of Europe. It is usually done a while afer a meal, throughout the year. It's supposed to refresh you and give you energy. In fact it has proven so successful that many Japanese companies have what they call "nap" rooms. Obviously working hours are adjusted accordingly, but it is in the time just after that nap (15 minutes to 30) that people are most productive.

Have you never been in italy?

2011-07-05T21:18:00.000-07:00

Answer on Have you never been in italy?

Yes, I have been to Italy--for a great week. Of course, it's a long thin country, and like England it has more than one era of history--Etruscan, Rome's Empire, Medieval, Renaissance, eighteenth century and modern; and no one region is exactly like any other in climate, food, museums or anything else. Many Italians speak some English as well as Italian; where you'd want to go depends on which era you want to explore. The best cities to visit are Roma, which is expensive, Siena, Florence, Venice, Bari, Genoa, Livorno, Ravenna, Perugia and the famous tourist towns on the seacoast--Sicily has lots of great places to stay, Capri is gorgeous; and the northern cities all offer late Medieval and Renaissance art, city halls, monasteries, and very good food. Expect to pay 20% extra for tip and service when you eat; use the grocery stores for bread, cheese and wine; and watch out for cabdrivers' math and for pickpockets. The people and the vino alone make the country a fine one to tour.

Why do so many people dislike the white race :c?

2011-06-22T15:05:00.000-07:00

I'm not trying to be racist or anything! I'm half white and half Asian btw ~! Mm so yeah everywhere I go I hear people saying this and that about white people. Its mostly Mexicans and Blacks. I know whites and blacks haven't got the best part and Mexicans and whites either but is that really a reason to talk shiit about every white person they see :c like on facebook I guess my friend found a video of some girls that happen to be white dressing "gangster" and dancing to some rap song for pure FUN and he gets all these comments sayin "wanna be black girls" "stupid white girls" etc ....

Answer on Why do so many people dislike the white race :c?

Well, since in the past their ancestors were oppressed or otherwise wronged by some of the white people of the world, they feel the need to overcompensate now. It's illogical, yes, but you'll notice a lot of the people who behave this way aren't necessarily the most well-educated lot you'll ever meet.

What do you guys think about this situation i have with this girl?

2011-06-14T03:01:00.000-07:00

met this girl off facebook and she lives where i use to live about 50 mins away. shes real pretty, nice, and funny. we talk on the phone and she sent me a picture of herself a few times nothing naughty or anything just a picture of herself. we text too but i dunno i think she is startin to like me, but the last time we talkin on the phone it was weird because normally she calls me but she said shes gonna stop calling me because she always calls me and she wants me to call her sometime to. so last time we talked on the phone she called me but it felt like i was mainly talkin in the conversations she barely was sayins much but she did say she was tired but i dunno what was going on with her. then today i text her sayin goodmorning which i text her that every morning and she said "i see you dont call me" which i think she likes me now because she is looking and waiting for me to to call her.. i dont know she did say she wants to get to know me more and wants to see what happens with me and her. what do you guys think????

Answer on What do you guys think about this situation i have with this girl?

Man she is INTO you for sure. By wanting you to call her, she basically wants you to take charge of the situation. Ask her out dude!!

Why do you believe that many in Europe to think that Americans are ignorant?

2011-06-11T20:35:00.000-07:00

I understand that this may seem a bit daft, but, please, after having written this several times in an attempt to be gentle, I ask that you bear with me. Thank you.

I have business across the pond from time to time and am fluent in several European tongues. I've many friends over there and tend to consider myself to be well versed in European affairs. However, it irks me to hear many over there use the stereotype of the ignorant and rude American as though it is the gospel truth for the whole of the nation. It often comes up that we don't know much about how the rest of the world works and that we offend at every chance. It's been my notice, though, that many there are not very aware of the reality of life in the US or how the world outside the European Union works. Culturally speaking, rudeness is interpreted in many different ways thanks to the many different groups in the world. Here, in the US, we tend to be very open as to our wants and needs and are rather vocal in attaining such whereas in most of Europe, to do so is to air dirty laundry (not so true in several of the southern countries, Italy to name an example, seems to be something similar). While in France or Germany, it is common to keep matters of house and home private. Hence the idea that such makes us rude, it is out of place to do so there. It's more of a cultural faux pas than an incidence of poor etiquette.

E tu?

Answer on Why do you believe that many in Europe to think that Americans are ignorant?

Believe me, it's not just Europeans who have that view of Americans. Unfortunately, every country has to deal with negative stereotypes, and there's nothing you can do except try to prove them wrong yourself.

When Lil Wayne comes out of prison in 2-3 months, should Lil Wayne make a track with these artists?

2011-05-12T22:13:00.000-07:00

Lil Wayne ft. JayZ, Eminem, Drake, Young Jeezy, Nicki Minaj, Gudda Gudda, Tyga, Jae Millz, Mack Maine, T-Streets, Lil Chuckee, Lil Twist, Shanelle, Young Joc, 50 Cent, Rick Ross, and Birdman

I think all of these artists on the same track could be about, a 10-20 minute track and it would be a hot track, wouldnt you agree?

Note:Half the artists are from Lil Waynes, Young Money group.

Answer on When Lil Wayne comes out of prison in 2-3 months, should Lil Wayne make a track with these artists?

Take out Lil Twist and Lil Chuckee and it'd be a good track. Lil Chuckee just sounds like Wayne and hasn't found his own style yet. The only flaw I see in that list is that some of these rappers have beef with each other. Ross and Jeezy are currently beefing and 50 Cent had beef with Ross and tried to have it with Wayne, so I couldn't picture them on a track for now.

How do I cure "lazy brain"?

2011-05-01T09:56:00.000-07:00

I have this problem, see...I have a lazy brain.

That isn't to say I'm not intelligent, it's just that I do lazy thinking when it comes to analyzing situations, reading, interpreting, etc.

For instance, when I read, I always try to immediately look at the big picture and not focus on details, which I then realize I just sped through an entire chapter and I have no idea what I just read. If I slow down (REALLLY slow down) then it's easier, but I have horrible attention deficit and I end up getting frustrated and want to get to the point already, so I miss pertinent details.

When I watch a movie, I will watch the entire movie and not know the names of any main characters. I just don't think about it and I don't pay attention to the details, I guess.

I think my issue is I try to rush from point A to point B and miss everything in between. I'll have a vague understanding of the overall idea, but since I missed details I'll be a bit behind in the understanding department.

When I sit down to do anything (and I mean ANYTHING) I get distracted so easily. I will try to watch a show online and then pause it to flip to facebook. Then to twitter. Then to a definition of some word that I was trying to think of earlier but couldn't recall. Then I'll restart the show and repeat the process. A 30 minute show will take me an hour and a half to watch

When I cook I want to skip steps because they "take too long" and I don't have the patience for it.

I will also sometimes stop dead in my tracks in the middle of sentences because I'll forget...wait...oh yeah, a word.

While it's kind of funny, it really isn't. I definitely have severe attention/patience issues; HOWEVER I absolutely do not believe in pharmaceutical means to remedy this situation.

I eat fairly well, I sleep at least 7 hours each night, I'm in good shape...what else? I don't really exercise much because I can never find the time to do so (or maybe my lazy brain is taking over my body?).

Do I need more B-12 in my life? Do I need to meditate or practice patience? Are there any brain exercises I can do to increase focus and attention?

ANY and ALL help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!

Answer on How do I cure "lazy brain"?

You've already come up with a pejorative term for this condition, when actually it might just be who you are. Your intelligence is possibly suited best to things that haven't occured to you yet, or maybe you're trying so hard to be what you're not you've forgotten all the good things that you are. Maybe you can't focus on things because deep down you really don't care about them, or see that what you're trying to focus on isn't important, in truth, even though you want it to be important. Maybe you're trying to tell yourself GET AWAY FROM THIS AND GO DO SOMETHING ELSE BETTER SUITED TO WHO I REALLY AM.

You're very hard on yourself. So what if you don't remember names in movies. Did you enjoy watching the movie? Can you have a conversation about the movie with someone after watching it? I'm sure you can. Your mind is a good one, not a blank.

Not everyone sees the world the same way. Not everyone has the same perspectives. You see things in your way, and that's valuable because maybe you're pretty special in this world. You lack certain skills, but you've compensated for this lack by developing other skills. Everyone does this. There are very few people in this world who are dumb in ALL ways!

Celebrate who you are, but it sounds like you may have to explore a little more who you are. But trust me: Who you are right now is good.

Unconventional people have it tougher in the world, so I hope you find your niche. In the meantime, do the best you can with the tasks that must be done, and don't be so hard on yourself.

Hi , i would like to know how much weight will i lose on a water fast?

2011-04-28T11:56:00.000-07:00

im going to start water fasting to help cleanse my body , i have read that by water fasting you also lose weight, so i am wondering how much weight per day or week would i lose? im 24 im 5ft4 and i weigh 315 so im sure ill benefit from the weight loss part and have an over all better health.

thank you so much for your response in advance.

Answer on Hi , i would like to know how much weight will i lose on a water fast?

You will lose up to 25 lbs. within the first week and then 1-2lbs. daily after that, adding mild exercise such as walking will drastically increase results.

I just went into mine, seizing all food intake at 12am on the night of start date.
I've done it about 5 times, the first day is always the hardest to overcome.
During the process you may feel extremely tired and sluggish.
On the third day your metabolism changes, to begin breaking down stored fat within the body.
If not broken properly(moderate eating, softer to harder foods, over the course of a week or two) all the weight you lose will be immediately packed back on.

Which boy names do you like best? (:?

2011-04-27T07:25:00.000-07:00

Donte Cole
Devante Cole
Jaevonne Carter
Jayceon Cobane (pronounced like Jason)
Trey Dean
Kobe Logan
Drake Adrian

:)

Answer on Which boy names do you like best? (:?

Hello!

Donte Cole : I think I prefer it to be spelled Dante. I don't know why, but I do. But as for the name together, I think they go very well together. Donte is a hard name to find a middle name for since it is a short, 2 syllable name. But I think Cole works perfectly with it. 8/10

Devante Cole : I think that I prefer Donte over this one. I just sounds like Devon. I like Devon, but the added "te" on the end is something I am not a fan of. Cole sounds good with it though! 6/10

Jaevonne Carter : I am not really a fan of Jaevonne. Carter is very cute, and it does flow with the first name very well. 5/10

Jayceon Cobane : I like it better spelled Jason. Jayceon, to me, looks like Jay-see-on, and I think that people will pronounce it like that. So he will be forever correcting. Cobane is very different and unique. I like it. The two names sound good together. 8/10

I am going to do Trey Dean & Kobe Logan together because I want to change them. I think that Trey Logan and Kobe Dean would sound so much better. I love Trey Logan! For Trey Dean, I give it a 2/10, the names do not flow together at all. And for Kobe Logan, all I hear is KObe LOgan. I hear the Ko- and the Lo- together and it doesn't sound right. I give Trey Logan a 10/10 and Kobe Dean a 9/10.

Drake Adrian : I really like the name Drake. Adrian sounds kind of feminine to me, but goes well with Drake. I also like Drake Aaron, just putting that out there. Nice names though! 8/10

I like your naming style.
My favorite is Trey, but with Logan.
My least favorite is Jaevonne Carter.

Hope this helps!

Italy? I need some tips!?

2011-04-11T13:33:00.000-07:00

I'm going to Italy in like a week and so I need some tips about it. I need to know the fashions they have there, how to act, what to say, where to go, where some great restaurants are, and all that tourist stuff. I can't wait to go but I'm a little nervous because I've never been there! Thanks so much everyone! =D

Answer on Italy? I need some tips!?

Italy is a country of historical monuments, great galleries and museums. That is a MUST see.

Food-wise, search for small local places to eat (tipo casa casalinga which means home made food) or take a food guide and look for a restaurant with the local specialty (like when you would be in a truffle area, look for restaurants that are specialized in truffles).
If you eat pizza, ask for this: Pizza con Grana e Prosciutto di Parma, tutto insieme al forno
In the restaurant you?ll be charged the "Coperta" and that is the use of napkins (about 1 Euro per person) so don?t be surprised.
Italians put a lot on grooming, so pack your best clothes and use it.
My advise is: spare some money for leather ware. It?s the best in the world.

If you have some more questions, e-mail me.
I have been there many many times..

Should i ask her to marry me?

2011-03-24T11:47:00.000-07:00

So i have been dating this girl for 3 years now. We are both 20 years old. I love her but idk if she is the one. I always have a great time when i am with her and she is beautiful. The sex is also out of this world. Our life plans go hand in hand. She treats me great i swear its like this girl worships me and i treat her the same. We can stay up all night together just talking about anything and its like it should be boring but its not because i have her. We don't have a TON in common but when im talking about football or whatever she tries really hard to listen and when she is talking about lady gaga i do the same. She isn't the girl i thought i would marry but now i feel like maybe i should. But at the same time its like i am her first love so it might be why she stayed with me so long. And i really don't wanna make a mistake. What do you think should i do it?

Answer on Should i ask her to marry me?

NO, Do not ask her to marry you unless you are 100% sure that you don't want to take it back. You are still young and do not need to rush into anything. Once people think of marriage they think of kids and you are still kids yourself. Even if you don't think you are. Good Luck. Take it slow and be happy.

Could you give me some workout tips and some questions?

2011-03-20T20:46:00.000-07:00

Hi. I just started hitting the weights at a gym and I'm clueless in somethings that I need to do in order to get ripped.
1. What should my diet be?
2. What should I drink/eat before, during, and after the workout? (Please be as specific as you can)
3. (From number 2) What are some energy drinks/ powders that have a good price for their quality?4. What is the Max days to work out in a week and what is the least for good results.
5. Please list any other workout tips that you think might be helpful. :)

Answer on Could you give me some workout tips and some questions?

Muscle and fitness.com has some really good mealplans for free on there to give you an idea what to do. much easier to direct you to a site than to try and write it all out. it can be really complicated. main thing is eat enough, and eat clean and get plenty of protein. The weight routines should cover your entire body at least 3-4 times a week. You can do it all in one day 3 x a week or do it in upper and lower body splits and hit it 4 times a week. look around, lots of free resources and workouts online. Still easier to tell you to do that than to try and just give youa workout program.

Id give you links for free workouts but yahoo people get all crappy about it. Cuts down alot on awesome resources but if they dont make money off it they dont want it posted.

Whey protein is good for post workout along with a simple carb to help spike your nsulin. Something like a banana is great with it. During you can just drink water. Dont neglect your cardio. if you want to get ripped you HAVE to do it and do it intensly.

What makes facebook more popular than myspace?

2011-03-19T14:53:00.000-07:00

i remember in 2006 when i was introduced to the world of social networking. from 06 to mid-09 all my friends used myspace where i was from. since then late-09 to present, everyone i know uses facebook, and myspace is considered obsolete.

it didn't take long for me to leave myspace for facebook especially when i saw how much more users of all ages there were, and i also agree that facebook is a better site. but i'm not exactly sure what makes it better than myspace. there are few reasons i liked myspace better, like: you can hide comments, and be more creative with your profile. the only reason i resited the transition at first was because i had all my friends on myspace, and i didn't want spent so much time re-adding them. although the better friend finder and better games helped a great deal to ease my transition to facebook.

so it's been over a year since i joined facebook, and i still don't know the answer. what exactly makes it better than myspace?

BQ: if facebook is older, why was myspace ever popular from 06-09 in the first place?

Answer on What makes facebook more popular than myspace?

Myspace is unusable. Every page plays awful music, flashes painful colors, and hides the information you're looking for someplace you can't find it. Facebook provides a predictable, *usable* way to access information.

MySpace was fun. Facebook is a useful tool.

Its hard to eat right when I'm in high stress situations. I dont drink pop or juice but I can't live without my coffee.
I also do not eat after 5.
what are good tricks and tips that I can actually stick to? Realistically I dont think I could go on a strict diet right now. Any advice would be helpful

Answer on Lose 10 pounds in 1 month.?

go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don't eat wheat then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don't eat junk food, and you don't eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans.

me and my boyfriend are both 15. we both go to a weight loss school for obese teenagers. when i was at my old school i was apart of the popular group but i never had a boy friend all the guys would say about me "she has such a pretty face if only she wasnt fat" when ever i heard that i would go to the bathroom and cry in the stall (im 5'1 and 249 pounds so i know im morbidly obese. i asked my parents to send me to this weight loss academy (its like a boarding school/ fat camp). i get there and i met this guy and he was one of the biggest people in the acadamy (he was 5'8 and 396 pounds) but he is soo sweet, smart, and incredibly funny. everyone in the camp was all moody, and depressed and i felt like i could not talk to anyone one exept for him we were the only up beat enthusiastic people in all of the school. at the beggining of the year we started becoming good friends and then he told me he really liked me and i told him i liked him back and we started kissing. we spend all our time together in the morning the trainers make us walk 3 miles every morning every weekday and we will meet up and walk together while holding hands. we have really helped each other lose weight hes my motivator and he told me i was his "wind beneath his wings" and during the weekends we get the day off and we will go to each others dorm room and just talk, snuggle and cuddle. i LOVE when we cuddle on the couch he is so soft, and warm i cud just be in his arms forever he is like my 'big teddy bear'. i sometimes get really uncomfortable being around guys because of my size but i can just spend all my time with him cause he gets me and knows the struggle of being obese. we have so much in commen and we really love each other. the problem is the school year is about to end and we are going to have to go back home and we both dont know if we will be back next year we have each others facebook and phone number, but we live about an hour away from eachother. i dont want to say my final good by to him this year what else can i do to see or be in contact with him

Why does my brother act in these ways?especially the last year?
Why does my brother act in these ways?
even in our 30's he still wants to try to tell me what to do,never really compliments me for anything good i've done,doesn't even take note of what i've accomplish and orovercome.I just freaking hate his guts at times.I wonder if he knows it.He comes across these ways and wonders why i don't visit his kids etc...and or see him at family functions.What is his deal?i can understand it if you are teens,but even up to now he is like this.He has acted really supportive of me in some ways,but it's those other ways he acts that really makes me hate his *** sometimes.Do you think he knows it..?he also tries to tel;l me what to do(in an annoying way)Last time i saw him i just hugged him and the didn't talk to him much.........We are all artists(i'm a musician at least) so i thought we would have common bond,but even at our age v32(me) and he's 37 it's like he wants to feel better and does stupid actions(ones that can make me go off)wrongly He's acts like a piece of crap....even my brother of 12 years older gets along better with me and is MUCH more supportive.Is my older brother delusional?the middle one i'm complaining about..I'm fit and go to the gym and he's fat(he's constantly got problems with his health because he doesn't take care of himself or his diet), so i wonder if that has something to do.Grown freaking men and he still acts like this...why can't he just admit that he has shortcomings and just can't measure up instead of being a moron about things?

Then i find out from my mom that he says all kinds of complimentary things about me(about my fitness and music ability)when i don't see him or when they are around him.Ifso why would he act so contradictary wheh i'm around?
It'sike he has rehashed all his issues in the past with me

Answer on Why does my brother act in these ways?especially the last year?

He could be trying to help you improve by giving you advice, and he'd probably like to see you more often...

In plain english please?

2011-02-27T18:09:00.000-08:00

So are they saying its good to eat fish or bad?

The primary effect of a fish-based diet on the kinetics of n-3 metabolism involves processes that inhibit the synthesis of 22:6n-3 from 22:5n-3. These processes may involve a system of feedback control mechanisms responsive to the plasma concentration of 22:6n-3.

Answer on In plain english please?

They are not stating the diet is good or bad, they are simply explaining a detail of the process. Without the rest of the statement, it doesn't mean much, to me anyway.

See, my boyfriend is flying in from Italy to visit me for spring break. He just got his passport three days ago, and he's supposed to come to America in about four weeks. He's afraid that he won't be able to because of the newness of his passport. I have little knowledge on this subject, so I wasn't able to assure him or anything :(

Is 5'9" and 160lbs. too large to become a model? (Picture)?

2011-02-22T05:11:00.000-08:00

I've always been told I resemble Gisele Bundchen, or that I should become a model of some sort, but I have the stereotypical "ghetto booty" with large thighs. I'm working on having more of an evenly-distributed weight, but diet and exercise doesn't seem to be doing much for my troubled area. I'm aware of there being plus-sized models, but I feel that being one would make me even more ashamed of my body. I'm 16 years old, 5'9", and around 160lbs.

Here's a face picture in case I'm ugly and it rules me out:
http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/96/l_167cfd49898e4f45be59ca9761767b06.jpg

I'd give more, but Yahoo is being stupid with links. If my weight is too high, or if I just don't look model-material, I could definitely use any tips our criticism you're willing to give me.

Thanks,
Kacie.
...

Answer on Is 5'9" and 160lbs. too large to become a model? (Picture)?

You feel that being plus-sized models,would make you even more ashamed of your body. Nonsense! you are a stunning girl, and the beauty and confidence you will project as a model will make you a roll model and icon to women of all sizes. The only issue I see, is you thinking that one must be a size two to be Amazing.

Check out pics of America's Next Top Model winner Whitney Thompson or ANTM Toccara Jones who is now a fashion (featured in a 14 page spead in Italian Vogue) and sexy glamour model (A King magazine favorite (the black maxim)). Lastly, pics of Tara Lynn the first plus size super model in France.

My point is be proud of the curves god gave you, I believe you have the talent and beauty to WOW the runway......Start working on your Portfolio (head and body shots).

You've got what it takes, GO FOR IT!

Is it somewhat normal to obsess about food?

2011-02-15T02:45:00.000-08:00

I'm 15, almost 16, and since I was about 12 I've been dieting on and off. I was a chubby kid, but now I'm 5'7 and 125 pounds. Just recently I was on a eight month 650 calorie diet. Of course, I felt horrible and ended up with some health problems. Since then I've increased to 1,500 calories. I thought I'd stop being obsessive when I start eating more, but wrong. I can't even spend the night at people's houses without ending up in the bathroom sobbing because I can't measure out my food or do my regular 3-1/2 hours of exercise. I feel like a complete retard when admitting this, but food and exercise seriously control my life. I'm so sick of it, but I can't tell anyone. Just last night I called my parents crying at 1a.m.--I've been staying at my brother's-- asking them to pick me up and I wouldn't tell them why, so now they think my bro and his gf have been mean to me, but truthfully I just felt fat because I didn't get as much exercise as normal :( I'm constantly depressed and thinking about my weight, but I don't know how to change it.

Answer on Is it somewhat normal to obsess about food?

It does sound like it is controlling your life and that it is a bit obsessive.
My advise is too see a therapist and a nutritionist.
Good luck.

What do you think of Miley Cyrus' new music video?

2011-01-20T07:45:00.000-08:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coqbx4C8z…

I actually love it! Im 16.. and thats probably why.. like I understand what shes thinking. I mean, if I were to have a music video, I would want it to be like that... not like... Selena Gomez's or any of those other Disney stars. I think people are being ignorant.. like parents and stuff. They dont realize that she is growing up. She had to do it one time or another, shes 17... I mean... thats how I dress when I go out... and getting ready...
But I just think she looks really good... she wasnt going to be Hannah Montana forever... and really, she didnt just go from like Girls Night Out.. or whatever that song was called, to this! She evolved... it wasnt a sudden jump. They have gotten like more grown up over the past year or so...

What do you think?

Answer on What do you think of Miley Cyrus' new music video?

How to Endure Hunger during Fasting?

2011-01-19T14:52:00.000-08:00

I'm currently fasting and this is my 1st day, I've already read tons of articles about fasting, about its miracles & wonders in physical and mental health if passed through it and I plan to go through past 21 day fasting, They say the Hunger goes away for about 3 days but in those 3 days I think I can't bare the hunger pain, should I drink more water for relief?

I'm fasting for weight loss, mental clarity and over all health. Yes, I am Overweight, I want to lose weight and at the same time develop self-discipline to control my overeating habits

Answer on How to Endure Hunger during Fasting?

I just started fasting too. I want to eat so much right now. Gum is really helpful and most gum only has 5 calories and you burn twice that in an hour of chewing. I've been drinking a lot of water and tea, coffee is also probably a good idea unless you have a strict water only fast.

How Can You Get a Website Without a "www." in Front of It?

2010-12-22T03:27:00.000-08:00

I've been curious about this for a while. You know how most url's are http://www. -Whatever, right? How do you change that? Some examples I can think of are this site, which has http://answers, and the Spoony Experiment, which has nothing in front of it (Just http://). How do they do it, and, if possible, can you tell me how to do it? Much thanks in advance!

Answer on How Can You Get a Website Without a "www." in Front of It?

You can arrange this yourself very easily. When you get your domain name, any repuatable registrar let you edit the A Records and CName DNS information.

The A record should look like this...

your_domain_name server_IP_address

The CName record should look like this...

www.your_domain_name your_domain_name

All that is happening is the CName www record is pointing to the domain name and the A Record of that is pointing to the server.

Are hcg drops safe to take?

2010-12-09T10:47:00.000-08:00

HCG diet drops are sub lingual( under the tongue) and it is a new diet. It is a very low diet that omits sugars and starches, ( 500 calories) if followed strickly it promises 1 to 2 pound weight loss daily.after 21 says you go off the diet, maintence phase (1500 calories) . During the maintance phase your metabolic rate has been reset-- after 21 days maintenance you can go back on the diet if you have more weight to lose. Drop are a Human horman extracted from the placenta

Answer on Are hcg drops safe to take?

I have been on the HCG diet for 4 weeks now. I purchased them online via prohcgdiet.com .I have lost 16 lbs and I have never felt so much energy and clarity of mind. I used to wake up at 10 and drag all day. Now I get up at 6 am ready to start my day. I never dreamed that would be a possibility for me, although I have tried many times in the past. I have tried every diet I could get my hands on and for each and everyone one of them I was ALWAYS starving and would do exactly as you mentioned above GORGE! But with the injections I am not hungry at all and have a hard time eating all the food although it is stressed that I must. I am not losing as much as most do but I am happy because I am STICKING to it! I always give up and forget about it and eat everything I see and want for a long time. I am not morbidly obese but was right on the line of Obese and now I have just improved my life with the weight loss that I haven't been able to do before.

Correlation between music taste and intelligence?

2010-12-08T00:35:00.000-08:00

From what I've observed of society, there is a profound link between peoples' mental capacity and their music preference.

People who like pop music are dumb and have to be told what to like by the corporate machine. They don't like to think for themselves and do their own experimentation with different genres than that of the mainstream. Whereas people who develop a more refined/underground taste like Metal, Jazz or Classical are able to think for themselves and that indicates intelligence.

Statistics show that people who like Pop/Chart rubbish are incredibly less likely to have a degree than people who like Classical. There could be other factors at play here though like the link between music taste and social class.

Think of it this way, an Intelligent person won't want to read the Sun because he/she would want a greater challenge like the Times. An Intelligent person won't want to listen to Justin Bieber because he/she would want a greater challenge like Gustav Mahler.

I think age and maturity are factors. When I was younger, I played bass in a metal band and I wore all-leather clothes and had long hair. Now, some years later, I love classical and go around in suit jackets and look at my style of my teenage years as pathetic and immature. Our music taste perhaps develops as we age and grow a different perspective on life.

Anyway, what are some of your thoughts?

Answer on Correlation between music taste and intelligence?

Yes, you are right. That is why i listen to things like "The Prodigy", "Delerium", "Metallica", "Black Sabbath", "Iron Maiden", "Judas Priest", "Bob Marley", "MachineHead", and many others.

Need to carry cash to enter Euro zone?

2010-11-22T10:58:00.000-08:00

Traveling from North America to Italy on a Schengen visa for a short vacation. I heard that one should carry cash (in Euros) and show it to the officers at the airport to be able to enter the country and that credit cards are not accepted as proof of ability to pay for your stay there. Is this true? Does anyone know how much cash should one carry? Thank you in advance!

Answer on Need to carry cash to enter Euro zone?

There is no need to carry cash. You just must be able to show that you have access to sufficient founds to cover your stay. This may be showing credit cards (with credit limit statement), ATM card (with last bank statement), treveller cheques.

Detox, Weightloss Focus, Muscle Gain (In that order), what do you think?

2010-11-21T04:11:00.000-08:00

So I am preparing my health plan and need opinions. I'll list in order.

First: I am planning on doing a week (or like 3-4 days) detox with 3 different fruits (or less), water and maybe a lean type of meat (without any condiments) or maybe another source of protein. Any suggestion welcomed (i.e. fruits: Oranges, apples, etc. Meats: chicken, fish, etc.)

Second: After the detox I wanted to focus on losing weight but at a healthy pace. So I would eat my minimum suggested calorie intake (daily) and drink my suggested amount of daily water intake. I would eat low carbs, medium fiber, protein, and focus on my vitamin intake. Meals would be a large breakfast, medium-small lunch and medium-small dinner with small snacks in between meals. My workouts would focus on cardio. I was going to follow this for about a month or two then go to my next plan.

Third: This plan would essentially become my permanent. So I would be eating my maximum calorie intake focusing on protein, fiber and vitamins. I’d drink lots of water and my meals would consist of a large breakfast, medium lunch and a medium dinner. My workouts would have some cardio and mostly weight training. Hopefully this will last and turn out well.

I’m meeting with a weight loss coach and health advisor, I’ve already suggested this to them and they think it sounds good but I want some opinions to see if this is an ok plan plus I need some help determining foods and all.

Thanks for your responses.

Answer on Detox, Weightloss Focus, Muscle Gain (In that order), what do you think?

Well first off detox pills, and detoxification and cleansing in general, are neither useful nor necessary unless you have had long-term narcotic use or are chronically constipated. Detoxification and cleansing has no proven medical benefits for the average person whatsoever. It will NOT help you lose any significant amount of fat. Your intestines are clean unless you use large amounts of muscle relaxers, or have serious digestive illness.

And secondly it's FAR easier and faster to bulk up then cut the fat as the additional muscle will help you burn calories twice as fast.

I don't know what to do next?

2010-11-20T08:00:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I am currently a 10th grader in high-school and I really want to get out. I don't fit in there and every day is worse than the last. I think tomorrow I am going to go to my counselor and schedule myself to graduate early. If that works out, I will be able to graduate at the end of next year. The problem is, I really am not sure what to do next, and neither are my parents. My dream has always been to go to college (not just do an exchange program for a semester) in either Italy or Austria and then to live and work there afterwards. I have been relentlessly searching the internet for some time, and have not been able to find any sites with a lot of information about going about applying for schools in these places other than how to secure a visa. Although I'm not really sure which career I want to pursue, I think I could see myself as an international consultant of some sort or anything similar as long as it involves a lot of traveling. I'm a pretty good student (all honors and AP classes except for math) and I currently rank 90th in my class out of 499 students. I guess that means I'm not a genius, but I'm not stupid either. If anyone could give me some tips on what I should do next or how to go about applying to a school in one of these countries, I would greatly appreciate it. I really want to be able to have my plans in order before I talk to my counselor. Thanks.

Answer on I don't know what to do next?

hello ,

While I was searching for a good college I found one web-site that offers you to browse a ton of
different schools.Actually there are many web-sites online but most of them are paid.This one
is 100% free .

Any good recipes for a BARF/RAW diet meal or a healthy one?

2010-11-16T20:34:00.000-08:00

my dad baught chicken breasts and he said it was okay to use 3 of of them for the dog.

does anyone have any good recipes for a good BARF/RAW or a healthy type meal for my dog :).. i've made a few before but my neighbour passed away and i don't have the recipes anymore, i think a friend of hers took them.

anywho, does anyone have a few recipes they can suggest that can be done in a short time, i think i might mix in some dog food with the meal so it won't confuse her. Eventually i might give her a healthy or BARF/RAW meal once a week when i'm done school. :)

thanks!

Answer on Any good recipes for a BARF/RAW diet meal or a healthy one?

Here are some basic raw recipes:
Chicken (with bone)
A small chunk of organ meat

Chicken
egg(s) with shell, if they are organic
A few berries

whole, small hen
stuffed with organ meat (1 chicken liver, 1 chicken heart etc)

Remember, always leave bone and skin on meat, it is very good, and a diet lacking bone will cause nutritional deficiencies, dental problems etc. Dogs can digest small amounts of vegetables, wolves naturally eat fruit and veggies. My dog eats a few berries about 1-3 times a week, and if he has not had some sort of plant matter, he will eat small amounts fallen fruits from our farm.
I would not feed raw with kibble or any cooked food, it takes much longer to digest and the raw will "get stuck in traffic" with the food, and the raw may cause stomach upsets and gas. It will not confuse her, she will know!

Good luck with your dog!

PS: feed her all three pieces, you may need a bit more food for a whole meal, my 37 lb blue heeler/pit/husky (my picture, hes eating turkey) eats about 2lbs of food a day. He is exercised for 2hours a day walk, along with a 4-5 hour mountain hike on weekends. so a 55lb dog may need more meat/bone for a whole meal. Yum!

Miguel Layun to play against Lazio in Serie A 1st game?

2010-11-13T17:26:00.000-08:00

seems like the Atalanta coach really likes how Layun plays and will take him with the squad to play against Lazio in the 1st fecha of Serie A. He'll probably go to the bench, but if Layun plays alot in Italy and gets good should he be convocado? will u peeps follow his progess in Italia?

He plays mainly left side...same as Guardado....could he become good backup for Guardado? Mexico needs to develop and use all the talent it can...we dont have the luxury of wasting players like Layun cuz Mexico needs all the good players it can get....the more, the better

Answer on Miguel Layun to play against Lazio in Serie A 1st game?

Thats great news and i hope he starts next game vs lazio and makes history.. ill try to keep in touch with the atalanta games now that layun is playing... I think he will be a good back up for guardado if he gets injure..and aguirre should keep in touch with this..

Why do people want celebrities emails?

2010-11-11T18:14:00.000-08:00

I happen to be a friend of Miley Cyrus. So I've been on whole dinner at this fancy restaraunt with Miley Cyrus, David Henrie, Demi Lovato, Justin Gaston, Taylor Swift, and Selena Gomez. (when miley was dating justin) What I want to know is why do people want celebrities emails? I know they love the person, and what to talk to them. But I'm pretty sure they know that they can't have it. So why do they still bother? They ask those questions online, and people give ones that are fake people like..."selgomezgirl@yahoo.com". It doesn't make sense, even if there are people who do know the email, why would they tell them? If you are a celebrities friend, they trust you to keep their info private... it just doesn't make sense to me.

Answer on Why do people want celebrities emails?

Cuz they think if they get their emails they will become best friends with them when most Celebrities could care less.
And even if someone had them they would give it out to someone that Celebrity doesn't even know. That's like asking if you would give your email/phone/address so some random people you don't know.

Some people are just obsessed.

Is this a healthy diet for a teen?

2010-10-18T01:24:00.000-07:00

I'm 15, 115 pounds and 5'3. For breakfast I eat fruit salad (usually banana and an apple) with a handful of nuts and a glass of orange juice or a glass of water. For lunch I eat a whole grain tortilla wrap with a lean meat (chicken breast, turkey) with berries and a bottle of water. For an afters school snack I might have some crackers and cheese or a piece of whole grain bread with cheese and a glass of water. For dinner my mom usually bakes or slow roasts some lean meats with dark green veggies and salad. And a glass of milk.After wards I might have a glass of hot chocolate or some fruit. Is this too much?

Answer on Is this a healthy diet for a teen?

Sounds like a great diet to us! If you want to mix things up a bit, try snacking on a YoCrunch Greek yogurt. It's a great source of calcium, vitamin D, and protein. You can check out all the great flavors at http://www.yocrunch.com/products/greek.h…

How do you NOT freak out when you hear your going to Italy????

2010-10-12T22:43:00.000-07:00

NO SERIOUSLY. HELP! Need tips.

its like omg what am i gonna wear etc will they have fruit for breakfast at my hotel. will i have a fridge in my hotel room! ahhhhh help how do I not freak out

Answer on How do you NOT freak out when you hear your going to Italy????

Most places that serve breakfast here will include fruit as a selection. Breakfast is often a buffet. Even if they don't serve breakfast, you'll be able to find someplace where you can get some fruit or just pick some up at the market and keep it in your room.

If you know the hotel you'll be at, you can check the amenities at one of the hotel sites like: http://www.venere.com/hotels/italy/

How to tell my mom I smoke cigarettes?

2010-10-12T20:14:00.000-07:00

I am 18 years old and I started smoking cigarettes a year ago on July when I went on my own on vacation to my cousin's house for a moth in Italy, since then I've been smoking regularly but every once in a while I stopped it trying to quit. My brother who is 23 years old smokes too, my parents find out when he was 17 but eventually they accepted it.He was the first person I told it and he was ok, he also helps me enough about covering me up or lending me cigarettes. My mother found almost 3 times a packet of cigarettes at my bag. I told her every time it was just that day I tried and that if she doesn't tell my dad I will get higher grades and never do it again. One day my mother found again a packet of cigarettes at my bag and showed it to my father, my father gets easily angry and i am afraid of him, that day he told me that if i do it again he will put off a cigaretter on my lips. I want to tell my mom that I smoke but I am really scared. A friend of my dad saw me yesterday and I am really afraid. I just want to tell my mom but she will not approve of it. If i tell her that I am feeling sad about situations at home or stress with studying she might find it as a good reason but again she will tell dad, i think. When she caught me the 2nd time she asked me if i was hurt from love..I mean she is kinda a sensitive person and if i could find a good excuse she might accept it.and help?my dad used to smoke when he was 13 till his 45, now he is 56 and both my mom and dad are really traditional parents but sometimes they are kind more openminded people. I don't know what to do...i feel a weight in my chest and i can't keep it secret anymore..i just want her to know so much..

Answer on How to tell my mom I smoke cigarettes?

You're an adult, just tell them. What are they going to do? Ground you?

You also need to find a strenuous physical activity that you actually enjoy, it might just be walking.

How does a smart kid/nerd get a popular girl?

2010-10-05T17:07:00.000-07:00

So I get A's and I am kinda nerdy, but I play sports. I like this popular girl (we have hung out once) and she always talks to me and work together in school. I know she isn't just using me, but I don't know if she likes me or not. This has been driving me nuts. I'm not sure if I should make my move, or just be friends with her. I am only 1/14 when asking girls out, so I am not the best guy around, but I don't feel like I'm given a chance, despite I have earned it. What should I do?

Answer on How does a smart kid/nerd get a popular girl?

Well, first off, girls like muscles! Are you muscular? The fact that you're smart is a HUGE turn on, trust me. But if you're nerdy, like you have nerdy clothes, get rid of them, and replace them with cooler ones :) Ask her opinions on things that have to do with your looks. It's old fashioned, but ask her out on a date first! You sound like a wonderful guy.

Unintentional Weight Loss?

2010-10-02T22:23:00.000-07:00

Recently my Mum's been telling me allll the time that I've lost weight.
Admittedly, I am looking a little thinner but the thing is I SERIOUSLY haven't been trying to lose weight!
At school, I'm usually the one who eats the most for lunch every day, I have snacks when I come home and then a decent sized meal every night - Always with a pudding afterwards.
Can anyone tell me what might be causing the weight loss? I'm pretty sure my Mum thinks I've been starving myself - she always looks at me in this 'I'm disappointed in you' way and I REALLY HAVEN'T!!
I've had A-level exams recently, but they ended a while ago so I'm not stressed any more.. So I don't think that could be the cause of weight loss, could it?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated. :) Thanks, Ellie.

Answer on Unintentional Weight Loss?

the stress might have been a factor, but more likely you're like me and everyone who sees you eat is gonna call you bulimic and everyone who doesn't is gonna call you anorexic. i eat like a pig, i eat whole pizzas (and more) to myself but don't put on weight. it really freaked me when i started losing weight in year 8 it was just a couple kilos but it looked a lot more than it was. turns out it was my metabolism, something to do with being out of the first stage of puberty.

if you're mum keeps being worried about you... well, she's your mum, you can't stop her from worrying about you. but just reassure her, tell her that you're not staring yourself, that your self image is fine, you're not puking up everything you eat. if she doesn't believe you then show her that you don't have the other telltale signs of bulimia other than losing weight. (your teeth are fine, your hair isn't falling out, you haven't been fainting, etc)

How could they be so cruel to this woman?

2010-10-02T12:56:00.000-07:00

Where I live there is this homeless old bag lady that goes around the streets picking up empty cans she also does a paper round for a bit of cash. She is pretty funny looking because she always has a yellow rain coat on and green boots. But sh Ie is really nice when I was a kid she helped me get my hand from out of a gate was stuck in. Anyway I just heard that at the weekend a group of teenage boys about 19 years old beat her up and raped her and they only reason they came up with for doing this is that they were drunk and it was just a dare.
How can someone be so sadistic to such a harmless person she has been on the streets for like 15 years and never hurt a living soul ?

Answer on How could they be so cruel to this woman?

Do I do enough activity for weight loss? Opinions please?

2010-09-30T19:01:00.000-07:00

My workout plan to lose between 15 - 25 lbs by October, or maybe a little later is this:

After school/before dinner I have two options that I do:

1. This may sound silly, but my sibling and I like to pretend we're performing on stage like a band or something, and we just sing along to songs, but I do alot of running, jumping and dancing. It;s usually about an hour to an hour and 20 mins we do that, and I don't jump and stuff the whole time, I gotta catch my breath a little and all.......so it's probably around 30 - 45 minutes of that.....(it's fun so I'm more likely to do it and not get booored!!)

2. 45 minutes of cardio..........i usually do some on my bike and treadmill, mixing it up daily.......i may also start doing intense DDR on some days too

And then after dinner I do 20 minutes of strength training, and either 20 minutes of more cardio exercises or 20 minutes of dancing.

I already have a good diet plan worked out. So, is this enough exercise/cardio to lose some weight? And in the very long run, burn all my fat and tone my body?

Answer on Do I do enough activity for weight loss? Opinions please?

My opinion is that you will. I like how much fun your plan sounds. Well done, keep it up.

Purple fingernails????????????

2010-09-24T22:35:00.000-07:00

I've been vegan for a few years now (I'm 17) and I noticed that off and on, I will get purple fingernails
when I was vegetarian first, I never noticed this
and when I was an omni I never did either
but when I became vegan I noticed that occasionally they would get purple (I go days without taking iron supplements and b complex to support my vegan diet)
usually when I take the supplements they aren't like this

I just wanna know if anyone else has experienced this?
from what I know, I am in good health. have gotten blood work and lots of doctor visits and an EKG and nothing came out of it.

just want to know if anyone else has gotten this that is vegan considering causes for this range from bad circulation (which is serious) to lack of iron or b12 (not AS serious)

Answer on Purple fingernails????????????

To clarify -
you saw a doctor and they drew blood and they're not sure if you have low iron or b12?
(both of these can be tested via blood - hence my uncertainty that i understand what you're asking)

And no, I've never had purple fingernails, nor do i know anyone who has.

Answer on What does it mean to grow your hair out?

means to grow it longer OR grow it the same length as the rest of your hair, you know like people say they're gona grow their fringe out or grow layers out?

How to lose belly+love handles+thigh fat quick? Diets?

2010-09-04T14:53:00.000-07:00

Today is Tuesday, I need to lose my belly fat by a party on Saturday that starts at 7 (haha I dunno why I added that but if it helps?) Any diets that you can give me to cut down the fat from my BELLY, LOVE HANDLES, AND THIGHS? I want to fit perfectly into my dress. Right now, my waist (love handles) are enormous, and I can't have it for the party.
So I need a diet to cut down the above featured fat. Also if working out is required as well, tell me, how long and doing what. I have myself, two 8 pound dumbbells, and a treadmill.
THANKS!

Answer on How to lose belly+love handles+thigh fat quick? Diets?

I don't think you have enough time to lose the weight by Saturday but you can buy spanx for the party (it flattens out areas that aren't so trim). You can try to lose weight by cutting down on calorie intake and jogging for 30 minutes on your treadmill each day... try doing pilates too.

Lose ten pounds per month, for five months?

2010-08-20T23:20:00.000-07:00

I'm a twenty year old female, and I'm likely 50 pounds overweight. Its time for a change!
I'd like to know person experiences with losing ten pounds a month, tips, tricks, diets, exercises, and so on.
I hope I could keep it up for 5-7 months or at least meet my goal by my next birthday.

I'm going off junk food, which is what I've practically lived off of for a year. No soda, crisps, cakes, ice cream, etc. At least defiantly not to the extent I've been eating those types of food. My diet has been terrible and now I'm reaping the consequences.

If I work hard enough, eat right, exercise, this is possible isn't it?
any comments or suggestions would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Answer on Lose ten pounds per month, for five months?

Don't worry, I'm not a spammer. Check out this website! It really helps you accomplish your goals of weight loss.

http://www.nowloss.com/how-to-lose-50-po…

First of all, you need to get rid of your water weight. Drink eight glasses of water and you'll pee or sweat it out.

Eat 30 carbs a day and a 1200 calorie diet. No chocolate, candy, or any sugary snack until you reach your ideal weight. Before each meal, drink 1 cup of water mixed with apple cider vinegar. It tastes disgusting! But helps you with your weight loss.

The best exercise is running intervals. Put a two pylons (or any two objects) at least 9 feet away from each other. In the morning, run 33 times. In the afternoon, 21 times and in the evening 16 times. After doing this for a week, put the pylons 11 feet away. Every week, increase distance. Do 100 push-ups and jump rope for 20 minutes. Do another exercise that burns 150 calories. Do this every day for a week. I promise you, you'll see great results

Here are some website that are filled with information about weight loss:

What math is used in Frank Drakes law?

2010-08-15T16:29:00.000-07:00

Can you define the equation?

Answer on What math is used in Frank Drakes law?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equat…

The "maths" used are statistics, and the multiplication is the device to find the overall probability of an event that is the result of (statistically) independent intermediate events, all of which are necessary for the final event to occur.

For example, a six-sided die has 1/6 chance of showing a specific number (say 3) when it is thrown.

If winning requires you to throw "3" five times in a row, then the probability of winning is
(1/6)(1/6)(1/6)(1/6)(1/6) = 1 / 7776

Of course, such an "easy" calculation requires that each single event be independent from the others (in other words, the chance that you get a 3 on the third roll are the same, regardless of what you got in the first two rolls -- if you have a truly honest die (not weighted, for example), then that would be true).

If the die is tricked in some way, then the easy calculation is worthless.

Same thing with the Drake equation.

What are the chances (percentage or fraction) that a star has planets.
What are the chances that at least one planet is in the "habitable zone" of the star.

and so on
