How does this work??

A solid sphere of mass 0.604 kg rolls without slipping along a horizontal surface with a translational speed of 5.41 m/s. It comes to an incline that makes an angle of 31.0掳 with the horizontal surface.

(a) What is the total energy of the rolling sphere? Neglect energy losses due to friction.

12.4 J

(b) To what vertical height above the horizontal surface does the sphere rise on the incline?

2.09 m

How do they come up with 12.4J for question a, and 2.09m for question b? I am really confused??How does this work??
you need to know the radius of the sphere too.

No radius given? It must cancel out then -

Moment of Inertia of solid uniform sphere of mass m and radius r about an axis through centre = I_sphere = m*r^2*2/5

kinetic energy of sphere due to rotation = I/2*w^2 where w is angular velocity.

sphere is rotating at 5.41/r radians/sec

so r does cancel - sorry.

KE_sphere is 5.41^2*m/5 add this to 1/2*m*v^2 for translational ke of sphere and you get the 12.4 joules

To work out the height you just equate the total k.e. lost to increase in potential energy due to climbing ( sphere is not rotating when it reaches the highest point).

Is this a safe way to work the neck muscles?

I put a 25lb weight on my head with a towel underneath and rock my head back and forth. Is this safe?

sometimes I'll get a iron type taste in my mouth...like the taste of blood, but little soreness.Is this a safe way to work the neck muscles?
nope, you will wear down cartilage.

Have you ever done shrugs?

hold a barbell at your waist with a comfortable weight, raise your shoulders and come up onto your toes at the same time. Just be careful not to roll your shoulders, it's the equivalent to sliding your face across asphault.

I started a small business and my sister wants to be a partner. How can I protect myself if this doesn't work

out. I want to have a partnership agreement , but I am unsure of what terms to use. I want to have more control over the business then she does,because it was my idea and I put in the intial work to start it. Starting this business has been a dream of mine for years and I don't want to lose it.I started a small business and my sister wants to be a partner. How can I protect myself if this doesn't work
I would keep it as my own. Partnerships with family members rarely work out. Money can become a real problem when you are related. If you need a partner then I would say keep at least 51% control of the business because then you will have controlling interest in the company. This means that you will be the one that makes the final decision. At first give her 25% partnership to see if she is serious about the business and works as hard as you do to see it succeed. If she is doing her part then increase it after 6 months to 49% interest. But I still say unless you need a partner for financial reasons or time management is an issue for you then do it but if not keep it. Another thing you could do is have her work in the company as an employee for six months to see if she would like to do the job every day year in and year out. Then if she does talk partnership with her. You are right to be cautious after all this business is your baby and you want to see it grow.I started a small business and my sister wants to be a partner. How can I protect myself if this doesn't work
The correct answer is anytime a partnership takes on a new partner the old Partnership is legally dissolved but thats only in a legal sense. Change your partnership to a S-Corp and you'll do away with all the B.S. In your By-Laws you spell out each persons responsibilities and ownership rights. Visit the link below and read it and then go to the visiters page. It doesn't cost anything to visit.
If you already have these concerns, perhaps having your sister as a partner is unwise? Could you tell her that you value your relationship with her too much to risk it over a business venture?
Find a good honest attorney experienced in writing up business agreements. Put into the document that you control at least 51 percent or more of the voting power, and that as the founding partner, that you for the *duration* of the partnership retain the physical and intellectual rights to all properties. Also put in that if the partnership does not work out during the first ten years you retain the right to *unilaterally* buy her out for one dollar, after 15 years unilaterally for x dollars, after 30 years unilaterally for 49 percent of the value of the business. I am not a lawyer so these are just some ideas to discuss with your lawyer. The important thing is to retain ownership of everything, keep *your* name exclusively on the ownership papers of all properties (cars, rental agreements, buildings, etc), and have a way of dissolving the partnership if things go badly.
You need to speak to an attorney who specializes in these matters. You would legally set up the partnership, specifying ownership by percentages I believe, including all the what-if's that could happen (business folds, she sells out, you sell out, etc) in a contract.

I like the first answer. You can never be too cautious. And family matters can be terrible when things don't go well.

My wife's family operates a Chinese restaurant, and she says that her sister got involved (it is run by her brothers), and started being rude to customers and such, ruining business. It may be menopause or something, but still. Family can be a very touchy deal to work with.

I bought a bag of tobacco,too fresh for me can I dry it out in the microwave?Would this work or burn it?

no, don't put it in the microwave.

I have fresh tobacco which we wrapped in newspaper and let set for a week and it was good.

To speed it up get cotton filters usually used for furnaces (make sure that you don't get fiberglass ones) and place the tobacco between two filters and place them on top of a box fan, turn it on and they will be dry in a day.I bought a bag of tobacco,too fresh for me can I dry it out in the microwave?Would this work or burn it?

I just installed a ceiling fan and the blades are not working that great. Could this be the motor?

I noticed after I set it up the blades aren't working that great. It's on the highest setting and it's turned on so the blades push the air down. Could this be a bad motor? It's a hunter fan!I just installed a ceiling fan and the blades are not working that great. Could this be the motor?
might not be grounded goodI just installed a ceiling fan and the blades are not working that great. Could this be the motor?
Check to see if you have the fan on the forward setting. Some fans have a slide switch on the motor to reverse the rotation of the blades. It could be the switch was moved which pushes the air up rather than down. I bet the switch got moved somehow. It is a small slide switch - look on top of the motor.

How does this work?

I heard that when you're on your period, it helps cramps if you take a bath.

But wouldn't blood come out so you'd be bathing your own blood from down there? Does blood even come out or does the water stop it?

Urgh. This is embarresing! I'm sorry if this is gross.How does this work?
don't be embarrassed..we have all been through this..It does help cramps to take a warm bath, don't use water that is too hot. The bleeding does stop when you are lying in the tub, but it will come out in a clot (if it is a heavy day of your period)when you stand up to rinse off in the shower. This is normal too. You should never wear a tampon in your bathtub, it is not necessary. You would wear a tampon if you wanted to go swimming while you were on your period. If this all seems too gross for you, you can skip the bath and lay a heating pad or hot water bottle on your back and stomach. It has almost the same effect, also, take some acetaminophen.How does this work?
it wont if you wear a tampon. But sometimes i dotn wear one and then take a bath. And no, blood doesnt come poring out. at least not for me, except for when i sit up and unplug the bath water, and start to move around. flexing your abdominal muscles tends to loosen up the blood down there, so yes, for me it comes out, but only at the end of my bath when i move around. But if you were to go swimming, you'll definitely want to wear a tampon! good luck
It's not gross at all. This is a very normal question. You will not bleed in the water. I've taken baths every time I've had a period and nothing has ever came out on me. I have heard tho that some heavy bleeders that have blood clots come out can have a blot clot come out while in the tub, but they just remove it quickly. The water doesn't turn red or anything. I wouldn't worry about it. I would get in the tub and try and feel better. Chances are you have nothing to worry about. Hope you feel better!
I dont know if a bath helps cramps, but heat does, so a heating pad often works, or one of those icy/hot patches.

I do know that the flow of blood stops when you are in the bath, or swimming. Not sure exactly how that works, but I think it has to do with the difference in pressure...
This is not gross. This is a very reasonable question. Depending on how heavy your flow is you might leak into the tub. I take baths all the time when I'm cramping and I've never had a problem. But somtimes I would rather cuddle up in bed with a hot water bottle. Here is a link to a cozy hot water bottles. I'm 33 and still find these comforting. :)

http://www.amazon.com/Danny-Dog-Hot-Wate鈥?/a>
I used to take tub baths during my teens during my period. The water does not stop the flow.

It does come out, but NOT so much you're bathing in your own blood.

I found that using a heat wrap helps cramps better than a bath.

I stopped taking tub baths during my periods because I would feel faint and dizzy.
From what I hear from other women, yes it helps to take warm baths and it would also help to have a heating pad on your stomach. Use a tampon and I would say don't sit in the tub filled with water if you are bleeding at that very moment. I hope that helped; good luck!
Yes it does help to take a hot bath. It has alway helped me. Yes sometimes blood does come out but not very much. And most of the time blood stops when you are in water. Oh yeah and you know what else helps your cramps is raspberry tea. I dont know why but it does work! You should try it. Good Luck
oh poor hunni. yes baths help a bunch and water stops your period for a little bit. that why when i am on the dot i always take a bath and i still go swimming. your are totally fine to take a bath. enjoy your bath!! and trust me that is not a gross question. dont be so embarrassed. it happens to all of us strong women. good luck sweetie
The water pressure keeps the blood inside of you. If you don't feel comfortable taking a bath while on your period, a heated water pad, or one of those plug in heating pads for your back, pressed on your abdomen will do the same trick
i heard taking a warm bath helped but i've never really tried it. but im sure its just really relaxind and thats why it helps with cramps. i usually lay down and nap when i have cramps bc it goes away then. other things, i heard eating bananas helps! so good luck!!
I believe the bath helps because of the warm water. you can try a heating pad see if that helps with the pain?

In my experience, unless i'm having a VERY heavy flow, my period stops in the shower... I don't know why.
yeah- it will still come out in the water. you're better off just putting hot water in a bottle %26amp; holding it against your tummy or using a heating pad-

%26amp; take some aleve , midol, or tylenol (tylenol pm works like heaven :)
Water doesn't stop it, but you probably won't notice it while bathing, but a hot shower can also help if your feel weird about taking a bath.
well for me it stops which is really weird idk i cant explain it and idk y it does that but no u dont bathe in ur own blood
Water stops it, and yes it helps.

:)
Use a tampon, then you don't have to worry. Hot baths do help with cramps.
no bath just relax ..... eat chocolate
just work out at the gym

Hey this is for you body builders out there, what works better, NO2, or Hydroxycut?

Depend wat ur goals r..

if u wanna look ';pumped';, take NO2,

if u wanna shed so fat %26amp; water retention, take Hydroxycut.

I prefer NO2.. well, dats me..Hey this is for you body builders out there, what works better, NO2, or Hydroxycut?
NO2. i have taken this and seen results. i have known people who have taken hydroxycut and they were not pleased with their results and actually develpd celulite on their legs as guys. neither is really good for you. Do more cardio and eat better is my advice for you. but if you are set on taking one of these take NO2Hey this is for you body builders out there, what works better, NO2, or Hydroxycut?
NO2
The best thing is not to use chemicals to alter your body. Exercise, diet, and strength-training are the best things for you. The chemicals will (undoubtedly) harm your body and possibly your metabolism after a while. It may take a little longer to do it the ';old-fashioned way'; but in the long run you will be healthier for it.
Hydroxycut is a fatburner. NO2 is ';nitric oxide.'; NO2 enhances the bloodflow in the nerves of your muscles. In other words, it gives you a better ';pump.';
I have never seen either supplement taken by itself so i don't know if they have a meaningful effect. NO2 is designed to be a delivery system aide by increasing blood flow. Hydroxycut helps you cut weight. What is your goal? That would really help in answering your question.

How does this work?

...Egg nuclear transfer - does this enable 2 people of the same gender to also have an organic biological offspring? How does it work?How does this work?
Egg nuclear transfer is a two-part process. First, the nucleus is removed from an egg and the nucleus of an older donor cell is placed where the old nucleus was. Through this process, two people of the same gender can have an organic biological offspring. Hope this helps.How does this work?
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is basically cloning:

- The nucleus of an egg cell is removed via a pipette.

- The nucleus of a somatic cell (with a full set of chromosomes) carefully removed via pipette and injected into the empty egg cell.

- The egg cell is stimulated (usually via an electric shock) to simulate fertilization, which starts the division process.

- The dividing blastocyst is then implanted into a surrogate mother where it grows an clone embryo of the DNA donor.

The embryo will contain the inserted DNA and will be a clone of the DNA donor.

So in answer to your question, it WILL allow couples of the same gender (or even different genders) to have an organic biological offspring (or more specifically, a clone) but only of one of them at a time.

Further implications would include the fact that the offspring will suffer from accelerated aging, since the somatic cell DNA has a shorter telomere. (Dolly the Sheep)

Of course, doing this with human cells with the intent to produce a human is pretty much outlawed in most countries.

So this guy that works near my work place is a girl... I think...?

I dont know, I work in a mall, and I see this person everyday wondering if its a guy or a girl. Let me describe...

-Short, black, wears a LOT of diamonds

-Wears a burberry sweater and dark jeans with black ugg boots

-wears mascara, dark red lipstick, and walks likes a chick

-but has the build of a man and the face of a man...

he/she/it passes by every day at work and the first time i saw it i burst out laughing (after .... um, it passed) and I feel bad, but I want to know if he's a she or if she's a he, how do I ask and not seem mean?So this guy that works near my work place is a girl... I think...?
Congratulations on being such a jerk. NEVER refer to a person as ';it';. How insulting.

Have you thought of maybe just introducing yourself and maybe getting to know them?So this guy that works near my work place is a girl... I think...?
lol Dave!

but yeah that is sad.....';it'; is a person

anywasy My plan of action would be asking the person's name.....if that doesn't work then ask someone who talks to that person if he/she is well ';exactly what gender'; or mistakenly say ';oh is that guy new?'; and if they say ';no he is not'; Then you will know it is a guy

if they say ';she isn't'; then you will know its a girl!
firstly, you can start saying ';they'; instead of ';it'; because calling someone an it i very rude.

if you truly want to know, ask, there is no way to ask and not seem rude since you don't know how they are going to take it. you could introduce yourself and ask them their name and try to draw a conclusion from there... i don't know how you want to go about it.
Just walk up to ';it'; and say in a very polite tone of voice: ';Excuse me, I mean no offense by this whatsoever, but I was wondering if you could tell me whether or not you're a man or a woman?';

Or you could ask his/her name and hopefully it won't be a unisex name like Alex or Sam.
Do you ever talk to them? If not, there's no reason for you to know. If you do talk to them, maybe mention how you like their make-up or clothes, and see how they react.

Also, it's not okay to call someone ';it'; because you can't tell his/her gender.
Trolling again....

anyways some women look very masculine it does not necessarily mean she is a man.
Does it really matter what gender they are? Just because you see someone every day doesn't mean you really need to know their gender. Mind your own business would be my best advice.
Run for your life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go for shim
Appearance and gender are two different things. They might be biologically female with a very masculine body, or they might be biologically male presenting as a female (crossdresser/transgender). Either way, the person is dressing and acting like a chick, so should normally be treated like a chick if/until you're corrected.

If he's a guy: Most transgender/crossdressing people I know are cool with just being asked if they're transgender, however I don't think most of them like being asked by complete strangers. You're curious, I get it, but think about how much you want to know. If you need to know, try asking their name, it's usually a big clue ^_~ If that doesn't work, the only way you'll find out directly is to ask directly. Be polite and it should be fine.

But if she's a girl: Most people here seem to be assuming the person is transgendered. But, if the person really is biologically female, she's almost definitely going to be offended and embarrassed. If you're a chick, and someone asked what gender you were, what would you do?

How would this work together?

Him:

Sun: Taurus

Moon: Aquarius

Rising: Taurus

Venus: Aries

Mars: Pisces

Me:

Sun: Gemini

Moon: Sagittarius

Rising: Taurus

Venus: Cancer

Mars: LeoHow would this work together?
This look like a fairly rocky match with potential. It'd be nice if the rising signs were more dominant the sun signs. He's a Taurus, and you're a Gemini, and while earth and air signs naturally respect each other, he may be too conservative for you, and you may be too happy for him. But you could make it work. People with similar moons also naturally respect each other, and Aquarius and Sagittarius form one of the most interesting friendships in the zodiac. When doing your Mars and Venus signs, you crossmatch them. Which means your Mars with his Venus and his Mars with your Venus. The Mars is how you project your energy and the Venus is how you respond. So your Leo Mars will be good with his Aries Venus. His Mars Pisces will be good with your Venus Cancer. You can also compare the Venus signs, since that's how you approach relationships and money. His Aries may seem too aggressive at times to you, while your Cancer may seem too cautious for him. So you'll have some bumps between the sun signs and Venus signs, but it can work.How would this work together?

How does this work?

How does a house loan for 5.99% fixed, wind up being 6.44% a year?How does this work?
Mortgages are based on a rate (5.99%). and that is what they advertise. The 6.44% is the APR which factors in all the associated fees to get into the loan. Snakey stuff.

It's a way to hide fees.How does this work?
Your note rate is 5.99%. The APR is the total cost of acquiring the loan. It is not dishonest in the least. The only way the APR would match the note rate is if there were absolutely no costs involved with acquring the loan, ie no appraisal, origination, ecrow fee, ect. Those costs are fair costs and exist in EVERY SINGLE LOAN TRANSACTION. The actual interest you are paying on the principal amount is 5.99. The other fees, if paid out of pocket, are not affecting your monthly payment on the property. APR is disclosed in order to allow the borrower to objectively compare loan offers with differing rates and fees by expressing them as one number via a standard calcuation. That way you know FOR SURE who is giving you the best deal.

Is it too late to find work in Ibiza for this summer?

I want to find work in Ibiza but I realise that its a bit late now and some people go over there end of May/early June. Is it too late to find anything now?Is it too late to find work in Ibiza for this summer?
Hi there,

I know the other answers have probably put you off going over there now but believe me - you will find a job. If its simple bar work/PR'ing or restaurant work you will be absolutely fine. For these reasons:

1.) Its mainly students who go out for the summer. They don't go out until the middle of july or whenever they finnish their studies. This shows there are still jobs at this time.

2.) People go out may/june like you said BUT around this time the partying wears off and some of the people realise they are unable to work such long hours and its not the highlife they expected. So they return home.........leaving more jobs available.

If I was you i'd book a week holiday out to Ibiza and constantly look for work during that week. Ask local bars, restaurants and clubs and if they don't have any work then ask them to point you in the right direction. They will be more than happy to help.

Atleast this way you have return flights if all goes wrong. however, I am 99% sure you will find work. I understand, like the answerers said above, that most locals are struggling to get jobs. However this doesn't apply to the party places full of mainly british tourists so the pubs n clubs want British speakers - something most Spanish tourists cannot provide.

I hope you have a great time. It will certainly be an experience - non stop working and partying. You will be out there - in Ibiza until mid october. Therefor you still have over 3 months of fun. Enjoy!!Is it too late to find work in Ibiza for this summer?
From what I have heard, it was too late to look for work for this summer, LAST summer! Not a lot of work to go around, and LOOOOOOOOOOOOTS of people looking! jobs, such as they are, are going to the citizens of SPAIN, not to Brits looking for work now.
Are you from spain or a native, if not fat chance because whatever jobs are out there will for sure go to a Spaniard over a typical american that just think they can just up and move to spain and speak english and everybody will understand them and get a job
Yes it it.

The season is well under way and any jobs that might have been available are most certainly gone now.
Unemployment in Spain and the islands is at an all time high,you`d be lucky to find anything ,,
What work are you on about. The locals can't get work so how do you expect to find any!
Yes, it is, and more with 20% of unemployed in Spain, they dont wait for you.

The higher the X, the newer the card, but it doesn't mean it's a good card. For example, a 7950 is way better than a 8400

A higher Y means a better card. Usually, any Y below 4 will be a low end card. Low end cards are good for video, and DVD playback, but they are not good for gaming.

If Z is 5, it means it's a bit better than one where Z is 0. It will usually beat the next Y. For example:

A 7150 is a bit better than a 7200 but it's light years away from a 7300.

I think it looks great! With a good cut maintainance should not be a problem.Would this hairstyle really work for african american?
I don't see why not, I've seen many black american t.v. stars and musical artists with this hairstyle and they look fabulous!

Remember, hair does grow back. If you don't like the style, experiment with cute hair accessories until it's long enough, again, for a different hair style.

Go for it!

my friend jasmine is black and she has her bangs like that she got a perm though to make her hair straight you should look good after you get your hair done
that photo of that hair is massively THICK.....i would go carefully on this my dear.....you do not have the same hair as that photo..... and that photo looks good because her hair is super super THICK....has nothing to do with black or white....its just whether you were born with thick hair...MOST people are not.

if your hair is thin, which it looks like it is........ you need to find another similar style that you like that is not this thick....

I get that you want the whole

EMO hair...but there are a lot of other choices.....for you to get ideas from here:

www.killerpics.blogspot.com

check back every day as 5 new photos are put on every night!

you can print out photos you like to take to the stylist and make requests in the COMMENTS section as well.
Why not! It's a hot look and I think it would work for you. Try it.
I think anything, or any style you choose will work, because when you are happy with yourself you will glow which will automatily add beauty.
I don't know but I have wonder that myself cos I am thinking about getting something like it.I like if it does work with ur hair good cos it will look hella rad with ur face.I'm gonna star this.it's seems inseminating(i can't spell for **** sorry)I wanna see what kind of questions u get.good luck btw u have great taste in hair.
I think its really cute but you would also look hot with an updated Mohawk! Its nothing wrong with having different taste. It's you own personal style. Looking like everybody else is just so typical. Just do you sweetie and wear it with pride! I also like Victoria Beckham's hair style. I think her hair style is kinda hot too!

Good Luck!

get s consultant. there's a plethora of upgrades you may need. Houses weren't built to any particular specs until 1940 so someone would really need to look your place over, before they could help, i doubt a program or website could be more than a rough guide.I have a house that was built in 1919 and need some work done. Is this any program that can help us?
If you can get your house designated as a historical site, you may be able to get some assistance from a local or state historical society, but there will be a lot of restriction as to what can be done and it will have to be authentic to the time period. I am currently living in a house built in 1916, and once a house is 100 years old, there are agencies that will offer financial assistance. I am just going to wait...in the meantime, I am freezing in the winter and burning up in the summer and enjoying the pleasure of this beautiful old house

I want to gain 10-20lbs of fat. Is this meal plan work?

I recently posted a question about weight gain. Now, I've mapped out my meal per day. Again, I'm 5'5'; and weight 110lbs.

1 bowl of cereal, milk and honey bee for breakfast

1 rice crispy bar

1 doritos/potato chip

1 meatpie or cheese hamburger, juice, 1 potato chip for lunch

1 ice cream bar (vanilla, Hagen Dazs)

1 potato chip

1 bowl of cereal with milk and honey

1 dinner with (meat or chicken, rice, vegetables, soups)

1 rice krispy

1 bowl of cereal with milk and honey

As you've noticed, I like cereal with milk and honey. Do you think I can eat whatever I like and not exercise at all, so I can gain 20lbs in 2 months? Please advice or adjust my meal plan. Thanks a million.I want to gain 10-20lbs of fat. Is this meal plan work?
Are you trying to gain weight for a part in a play or movie? Because you seem pretty healthy at your weight and height.I want to gain 10-20lbs of fat. Is this meal plan work?
eat whatever the hell you want whenever the hell you want and you will gain 20 lbs. in 2 months.
This doesn't sound too good to me at all.

Try this:

Hot breakfasts: eggs, pancakes with butter and syrup, waffles with butter and syrup

Big lunches: Bowl of mac n'cheese with a veggie burger

Dessert after lunch: Yogurt cup and berries

Dinner: Mashed potatoes with gravy, peas in butter sauce, hot biscuit

Dessert: Slice of pumpkin pie with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream on the side

Snack before bed: Bowl of mixed treats like peanuts, pretzels, cheetos, and potato chips

That sounds much healthier and is still fattening. And you can still have your cold cereal with milk, just not 3 times a day. Try at least a few hot breakfasts through the week and your cereal for breakfast the rest of the time.

Good luck!
Refeeding

-or-

How To Gain Weight

This one seems like a no-brainer, eh? How do you gain weight? You eat. You cannot gain weight without eating... in the exact opposite of losing weight, actually, you cannot gain weight without consuming more calories than you burn off.

The bigger question, in our weight-loss worshipping world, is why would you want to gain weight? Fact is that sometimes we become too thin, dangerously so, to the point where we begin to suffer all these negative side effects and eventually death. Sometimes gaining weight is a pretty attractive option by comparison. Being at a healthy weight helps every system of our body function better, allows us to heal from damage, and gives us reserves as protection against stress or illness as well.

The tougher part of weight-gain is how to do it in a healthy manner. Just as rapid weight-loss can be dangerous, so can rapid weight gain. Many EDs who go through rapid recovery end up with too high a bodyfat percentage, too much fat stored around their internal organs, compromised health, and high cholesterol. This is in part because traditional anorexic ';recovery'; diets are aimed at bulking up the patient as quickly as possible by fat-loading everything they eat with no thought for the health quality of the food being given.

It's safer to aim for a gain of one or two pounds a week so as to not put undue stress on your recovering system and to know that you're rebuilding bone, muscle, and nutrient stores instead of just frantically storing fat. It's more important to restore your body's protein, elemental, vitamin, water, fat and sugar balances than to simply send the numbers on the scale up. Once you do this, given sufficient raw materials your body will rebuild itself more strongly.

In The Beginning

If you're deciding to gain weight, odds are it's because you're underweight. If you're underweight, barring a purely illness-related weight-loss problem which should really be addressed by a doctor instead, you have probably not been eating enough. If you haven't been eating enough for a while, your digestive system will need to be retrained. Same goes for extended or extensive purging... it screws with your entire system, and there will need to be plenty of time devoted to patience and healing.

Extended periods of time with insufficient solid food intake causes your entire digestive system to slow down and lose efficiency. Amounts of digestive chemicals in production may drop, and the tiny fingerlike cilia that absorb foods in your small intestine may become paralyzed or die off. The peristaltic muscles that move food through your system may weaken or atrophy. Large meals or a lot of food at once may confuse your stomach and intestines to the point where they cramp up and have trouble remembering what to do at all. All this will need to be repaired slowly, given time to reaccustom itself to the concept of processing and utilizing food again.

Start with liquids. Rehydration is extremely important, since without food our overall water content drops significantly, and the digestive process requires a great deal of water. In the first few days of refeeding you may notice a sudden gain of several pounds... this is most likely, if you're doing everything right, your water balance trying to straighten itself out. You may feel bloated for a while as this happens and it's extremely important that you allow it to take care of itself and do not try to correct it with diuretics; limiting caffeine, which acts as a diuretic, may be a good idea here. Potassium can also act as a mild diuretic but do not try to limit that, as it's an important electrolyte and part of rehydration is bringing your electrolytes back up to a good strong level. You may benefit more from drinking water and juice between meals, instead of with meals, as liquids during meals can make your stomach feel fuller and may slow digestion a bit. Carry a bottle of water or juice around and sip constantly when you're not eating.

The first foods you try should be fairly soft and easy to digest, either mostly liquid or very well-chewed. Supplement drinks work wonders here... Ensure, Balance, even Slimfast. There are a lot of high-protein shakes to be found in health food stores, those are also good. Milkshakes are great, especially if you go for peanut butter or chocolate or caramel ones, after you're sure your stomach is going to be able to tolerate an extreme cold temperature. Cream-based soups, thick soups, and stew broth are very good as well if you're okay with the temperature variation, but remember that hot liquids may make you feel fuller more quickly. Oddly enough, babyfood pureed fruits make a good snack, especially stirred into some good live-culture yogurt. Yogurt, with its assorted intestine-building flora, is usually a good thing.

The caveat to milk or milk-based products is that if you haven't had many dairy products for a while you may have become at least a little bit lactose intolerant. If you can find lactose-free or soy-based supplement drinks they may be the best thing to start with. You may also want to try those Lactaid drops, but I've never tried them and can't really speak one way or the other. And the caveat with soy is that too much soy can be hard on your thyroid and may tamper with some of your hormones, so try not to overload on that especially if you have any thyroid issues.

You'll want to be taking in small or moderate amounts of calories every two to four hours, since small frequent meals will help keep your insides from any extended slowdown periods while they're getting used to motion again. This may also help keep your blood sugar more stable; that can often swing around pretty wildly during food-intake changes. If you find that you stomach isn't emptying within four hours then go for a liquid-calorie snack every other feeding instead of having solids at every snackmeal. And, speaking of solids...

Eating Food Again

Be nice to your innards, they've been through a lot. Be nice to the rest of your body as well, since it's managed to get you through insane amounts of stress with very few resources and could probably use a little TLC. What you give yourself now is what you'll be made of from here on out. Treat yourself to good healthy high-nutrient foods, natural sources of vitamins and minerals; pick items that will give you the most benefit per bite. This means staying away from overprocessed, chemical filled, trans-fatty, empty calorie crap. Sure, you'll leap to a higher weight like crazy on a diet of Oreos and CheezWhiz and Big Macs, but you won't be very happy when you get there.

Bread

Whole-grain bread is one of the best things I've found for repairing insides. Find something with at least a few grams of fiber per serving and ';whole wheat'; instead of ';enriched wheat flour'; as the primary ingredient. If you can get hold of something with nuts, seeds, or other grains included as well then that's a bonus. If you're used to eating that pasty fluffy white stuff then it may take a little while to learn to love the whole-grain natural stuff. Try it toasted with butter and a slice of real cheese, or butter and peanut butter. Most popular pb brands come with hydrogenated oil, which is not so good; look for the natural, unsweetened versions made with only peanuts and salt instead. If this isn't sweet enough for you, a drizzle of honey over the top goes marvelously well.

Nuts

So, nuts. They're high in good fats and pretty high in protein as well... paired with bread they make up a complete protein, which will help your muscles rebuild themselves more effectively. There are a lot of nutrients and a good amount of calories in a small amount of nuts or nut butter, which is a good thing especially while your stomach is having trouble dealing with a lot of food at once. Try making trail mix or gorp with mixed nuts, dried fruit, dry high-fiber cereal, bite-sized whole-wheat pretzels and so forth. Or just have a sandwich.

Meat

For complete protein you can't beat meat (ahem... yeah). If you're a vegetarian or a priest you may want to skip this part. If you don't get the joke, please just smile and nod and continue onwards. You may want to eat smaller portions of meat for a while because it is a little harder than most other foods for your stomach and intestines to handle. Ground beef may be the highest fat- and calorie-rich meat available, but a diet that high in saturated fat after a long near-fast is maybe not that good for your heart. Leaner cuts of beef and steak are healthier, but can be a little hard to digest and tend to hang out in your stomach for even longer. Ground lean chicken and turkey make yummy hamburgers instead with less saturated fat. Any lean chicken or turkey is good; you may want to fry it in olive or canola oil or bread it and stick it in the oven for a few more calories since it is very lowfat. Venison and buffalo and ostrich, if you want to get fancy, are also nutritious while being lower in saturated fat than beef. Turkey jerky rocks and makes a good quick portable snack if you get it in those flat little packets. Stew or pot roast, where the meat has been cooked long enough for the fibers to start breaking down, is a good option.

Fat

(no, it's not a bad word)

Fat helps keep your skin, nerves and brain in good working order. Fat is also needed for proper absorption of some essential vitamins, and fat is one of the most concentrated neat calorie-sources you can get (nine calories per gram, whereas protein and carbohydrates only have four calories per gram). Fat is also stored as, well, fat in the body more easily than either protein or carbohydrates, which must both be converted to fat before it's packed away. Fat tends to either go along with cholesterol or affect cholesterol levels in some direction. It is a myth that all fat raises cholesterol; unsaturated fats lower it, while saturated fats and trans-fats both raise it. There are two kinds of cholesterol, good and bad. It's the buildup of bad cholesterol with insufficient good cholesterol which leads to heart disease and high blood pressure.

Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are healthy for you in the right amounts; monounsaturated tends to lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol, while polyunsaturated tends to lower both bad and good cholesterol. Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and are found mostly in vegetable oils and nuts. Olive and canola oil are the best common oils; use them in cooking in place of shortening or butter whenever possible. And yes, canola oil works in cookies and cakes, just mix the same amount as you would use of butter into the flour-base until it's in little soft pieces, then add the rest of your wet ingredients. Olive oil is not so good in sweet baked goods but a drizzle of it over pasta, salad or bread is very nice.

Saturated fats are unhealthy for you except in fairly small amounts; they tend to raise bad cholesterol while not affecting good cholesterol. Saturated fats are usually solid at room temperature and we encounter them primarily in meat, egg yolks, whole milk, cheese, butter, palm kernel oil and coconut oil.

Trans-fatty acids (hydrogenated or partially-hydrogenated oils) are bad for you in any amounts; they tend to raise bad cholesterol and lower good cholesterol in a vicious double-whammy. They're what happen when you take some perfectly good vegetable oil and add an extra hydrogen atom, stabilizing it to be solid at room temperature (like saturated fat) and to have a longer shelf life. They're freaking everywhere... margarine, virtually every commercial baked or processed food you'll ever find, you can't turn around in a grocery store without having a dozen of the damn things leaping at your head. The best way to avoid these is to find a good local health-food grocery store and huddle in the aisles whimpering until a nice salesperson takes pity on you and hands you a carrot stick.

Aim to get most of your fat from unsaturated sources, followed by lean meat and milk products. Cheese and butter, though high in saturated fat, are great for gaining weight since they make nearly everything absolutely irresistable and add a good amount of calories without too much mass. A ground-turkey cheeseburger with greenleaf lettuce and ketchup on a whole-grain bun with a side order of homemade sweet potato fries and some fresh fruit would be really good right about now, for me at least. Get your own.

Produce

(the noun, not the verb)

Fruit and vegetables are naturally high in water and fiber and low in calories and fat (with a few exceptions), making them the perfect diet foods but not so hot for weight gain. However, they're superhealthy and a better way to get your vitamins than any pill has ever been. A diet rich in fruit and plant matter is in nearly every imaginable circumstance only a good thing, possibly the best thing you can do for yourself.

In general, richer colors and stronger flavors equal more nutritional value. Dark green leafy lettuce kicks the *** of that wimpy pale iceburg nonsense. Naturally-ripened and organic produce also tends to be higher in nutrition than pasty artificially-ripened conventional produce, but frankly any veggie's better than none so eat what you like. The current advice is to ';eat the rainbow';, which may sound kind of stupid but which is actually a pretty sound idea... the more variety in kind and color of produce you eat, the better a mix of different vitamins you'll be getting. Try to eat a few different colors of fruit and vegetable each day. Fresh is optimal, but frozen and even canned produce is still beneficial. Tomato sauce and tomato paste, in fact, is richer in some nutrients than fresh tomatoes.

Now, calories. There is that whole filling low-cal aspect, which in this case is not desirable. Add stuff to your crunchy bits. Grill or stir-fry vegetables in olive oil, add a pat of butter or some flax seed oil to steamed veggies, grate some cheese over the top. Most fruit is great sliced over ice cream and added to cottage cheese or yogurt. Peanut butter and bananas is a classic, as is apple with cheddar cheese. Salads can be tossed with a variety of bite-sized vegetables plus cheese, sunflower seeds, raisins, oil and vinegar, flax seed oil, nuts, so forth. Grilled vegetables with cheese go very well in a whole-wheat pita or tortilla, maybe with some grilled chicken strips as well. Provolone, tomato, fresh basil and sliced black olives makes a kickass sandwich. Avocado is a great source of fat and calories. Improvise as per your own inclinations.

Grains and Legumes

Nearly any whole grain gets a high score on the food-value meter. Avoid refined or processed grains, or white rice, as these are invariably stripped of the protein and fiber that make them best. Brown and wild rice are good, and there are a ton of interesting breeds of rice out there to try, red and black and sweet and so on. Rice is also pretty easy to digest and makes a good base for a meal while your digestive system is straightening itself out. Oatmeal and other whole-grain hot cereals are also stomach-friendly; try adding milk or soymilk and butter, or brown sugar and maple syrup, or bits of dried fruit and honey, or sliced apples and raisins with sugar and some apple-pie spice.

Grains are, however, almost entirely carbohydrates. Which means they'll turn into sugar and spike you into what may become a feeding frenzy, which is not a good thing to subject your healing belly to. If you pair a small serving of grains with a high-protein item then you'll feel full faster, your blood sugar will remain a little more stable, and you're less likely to go off on a binge. Including a scrambled egg or some yogurt with breakfast, or some diced chicken and cheese with a cup of rice, or some beans with whatever, may work out a little better.

Beans (kidney, pinto, black, red, navy, etcetera) are usually the most common legumes. Others include garbanzo / chickpeas, green or yellow peas, and peanuts (yes, technically a legume, not really a nut at all). Most legumes are high in fiber and protein, and many are pretty rich in iron as well... paired up with a grain they'll make a complete protein. However, they also tend to be low-cal and low-fat, and are best in smaller amounts with some source of fat added for a calorie boost.

Fish and Seafood

I know very little about either fish or seafood, since I've never really eaten much of either of them. But here goes.

Cold-water ocean fish are very high in good fats and protein and are especially good for your heart and circulatory system. However, the large ocean fish (shark, large tuna, swordfish, etcetera) tend to be far too high in mercury levels for safety and they should not be eaten more than rarely, and probably should not be eaten much at all by small children or people with compromised health.

While almost all fish is low in cholesterol and high in cholesterol-lowering fats, some seafood is extremely high in cholesterol. Shrimp in particular, though you'll want to look this up for yourself if you eat a lot of seafood. Even thinking about eating those scaly little waterbugs is giving me the willies.

Octopuses (octopi?) are very cool and can change colors like little squirmy fireworks. Just keep this in mind the next time you're chewing on a rubbery tentacle... it may at one point have been bright purple or yellow or plaid.

Miscellaneous

Protein powder from various sources (though usually soy or milk) can be found in most health-food stores. They're usually low in fat, but provide a decent calorie and protein boost when mixed into baked goods, milkshakes, smoothies, and the like. Milk powder or condensed milk, from full-fat to skim, can also be stirred into cream soups or shakes or hot chocolate for some extra calories. Check cholesterol on the milk-based stuff.

Carry nonperishable portable snacks with you, in your car or your bag or wherever. A meal bar, a granola bar, a little bag of nuts, whatever. If it looks as if you're going to miss or be late for a meal, you'll at least have something available.

Extra calories through liquid are good things. Drink whole-fruit juice, vegetable juice, chocolate milk, etcetera in addition to your water.

While antacids (like Tums) may help your stomach feel better temporarily, they should only be used if you do indeed have acid problems. Often the problem facing refeeding is too little stomach acid instead of too much. It can be hard to tell the difference. Antacids will only further suppress stomach acid and further slow your food digestion, so use them sparingly and try not to take any before or right after snacks or meals.

You may get some really unpleasant stomach and intestinal cramping while your unused musculature tries to straighten itself out. Warm liquids may help relax the muscles... tea with a squeeze of lemon, or mild coffee, or hot cider, or hot chocolate, whatever. Just sit back and relax and don't even think about exercising or getting yourself tense for an hour or so after eating. An ounce or two of alcohol (if you're of legal drinking age in your area) might also help relax your stomach muscles; port, brandy, cordial, liqueurs used to be commonly used as an after-dinner digestive aid for this purpose.

Experiment with different sleep positions. Eating shortly before bed and then sleeping flat on your back may make it hard for your stomach to deal with the food, as digestive processes slow down during the night. If you do eat before bed try to sleep either on your left side or with your head/shoulders propped up at an angle instead of flat. Sticking some books or bricks below the head legs of your bed to tilt the bed at an angle might make sleep easier overall; it's worth a try.
that sounds good to me, try alot of chocolate, alot of sodas, anything with alot of fat in it

My child is getting her Tonsils out on Thursday, How is this all going to work? Am I freaking out for nothing?

My daugther is 3 and has been in speach theorpy for 18 months. I switched to a different speech theorpist about a month and a half ago. She told me that my daugther never had a speech problem, her tonsils are to big for her throat. Not one doctor has figured this out. It's upseting to know that her regular doctor over looked this EVERYTIME we went to her office. So now we are scheduled for surgery this week and I don't know how to feel.My child is getting her Tonsils out on Thursday, How is this all going to work? Am I freaking out for nothing?
it will be ok i got my tonsils out it will be fineMy child is getting her Tonsils out on Thursday, How is this all going to work? Am I freaking out for nothing?
I wish I could tell you more, but having her tonsils removed should be a very easy process. It's one of the more simple procedures. The fact that your daughter is only 3 is good too, because she should recover pretty quickly. I hope that it helps her speech as well.
My son had a hernia that his regular doctor didn't see. Then we changed doctors and the new doctor caught it right off and my son had to go in for surgery. He was 2 at the time. Most surgeries they are in and out the same day. I wouldn't worry too much she will be in good hands it is a very routine surgery.
My son had his tonsils out when he was 6, he's 17 now. You can expect a few days of her lying on the couch being miserable----then bored!

At first you'll have to only give cold stuff---I made special milkshakes----buy ice cream and milk and syrups and have fun expermenting. Just remember, she won't feel like drinking alot at any one time the first day or so. Pudding will be good too.

After a day or so you can move onto other soft foods--we did mashed postatoes with the gravy from the powder mix b/c it's not lumpy--again--a little will go a long way.

Then you go to jello and so on--

You can keep her spirits up by letting her know what big girl she is and how this is really a great thing b/c she will never get to eat so many desserts for lunch and dinner again!!!

Be sure to stock up on new coloring books and brand new crayons for when she gets bored. You might also want to try to find other things that she can do on the couch--maybe now would be good time for her to practice colors and simple counting with a brand new game--CANDYLAND! YOu can prepare for the surgery by going out a day or so before and buying these things together. Then she'll ahve something to look forward to after the surgery, although I doubt it eases her fears when the time comes.

Just keep it upbeat and fun---and let her know it's ok to rest and remember to be sympathtic with her when she's fussy. And yes--don't let the pain meds wear off!

As for you mom, enjoy the time bonding with your little one. Go to bed each night (ready to wake up at any given time) and pat yourself on the back for being the best cheerleader and milkshake maker ever!

Good luck!
I had mine out when I was 15. Obviously that's very different from three, but wasn't that bad. The only recommendation I would make is to make sure you give her her pain meds around the clock even if you have to wake her up to give them to her. Otherwise she will really be in pain. Just expect not to get anything done for a few days because you'll have to be with her and entertain her- she probably won't feel up to much more than reading stories and coloring for awhile, though she should be able to get up and go to the bathroom. Drinking might hurt but just encourage her to drink often- the less often you do it the more it hurts. And try to give her cold drinks, maybe something a little thicker makes it easier too (like a smoothie instead of juice). I lived on chocolate milk and Boston Market mashed potatoes for a week after I got my tonsils out. Give her whatever soft thing she'll eat.
You may be fixing two birds with one stone, if that is the case and it is the problem with her speech. You will be getting it corrected and she will be good to go to school with no self esteem issues, and while she is at school all the kids with tonsillitis will be no concern for her. I am sure it will be a rough week for both of you, but better to get them done young.
I had my tonsils out and everything went just fine. Buy lots of popsicles and ice cream for her. That sure helped me!
Just feel glad that it was picked up now and not further down the line.

Your daughter will be in good hands when this happens, so as hard as it is, you shouldn't worry about what's going to happen.

I know it's hard to accept this, but doctors are only human and they too make mistakes- it's unfortunte though, because their mistakes can cost lives as I almost found out at the weekend, but that's another story...

Relax, and yell at your doctors later!
You should speak to the people who are doing the surgery and ask if you will be allowed to go down to the theatre with your daughter until they knock her out. I did that with my son when he had to have teeth out. They didnt let me with my daughter when she had her tonsils removed as she was 16. If you can be there until she is asleep it is less traumatic for the child. It is however a lot more traumatic for the mum and a bit scary when they do knock your child out and you have to walk away. But then thats a mums job to be there. She will have a very sore throat for a number of days and will want her mum there when she wakes up. I would also try and arrange for you to be allowed to sleep in the room with your daughter if the hospital allows this. Good luck anyway
Make sure the doctor has a lot of experience at this, when he snips the tonsils and uses the vacuum to suck them out along with the adenoids sometimes on little kids brains come with it if he cut in the wrong place.
I went thru this with 3 kids!!! very easy---don't let the pain meds wear off!!!!!
Went through this with my then 3 year old daughter back in April. Went smoothly. Try to get a EARLY surgery time cause she will want to eat but won't be able to and she won't understand why mom's not feeding her today...lol...The surgery is quick...my daughter was in and out of surgery in less than 30 minutes due to the lasers they use now...not like when I had mine taken out and it took a good hour. The first day is EASY!!! Just give her the pain meds every 4-6 hours and she'll sleep most of the day. The second through the fourth day or so are the bad ones...Make sure to give her her meds on time those days or you will have a very cranky little girl. After 4-5 days (usually) she'll be back to her normal sweet self. My daughter has done 100 times better since she had hers removed. She had reoccurent Scarlet Fever so we opted to have her tonsils removed and nothing since. Plus she doesn't snore anymore because of the adnoidectomy.
First of all....the younger the better for tonsils.....Younger kids seem to recover much faster and have few complications....I am not a doctor but have seen many people who have had tonsils removed..pop cicles will help a lot.......Anyways....as far as you doc missing them....That is not good...but at the same time, if you are not specifally looking for something like that it would be easy to miss until you little one started talking and someone who deals with that every day sees it...

There's this guy that works in my town's store, and every time i walk in, he stares at me, what should i do?

charge him with stalking and harassment

I would just give a polite smile and ignore it. If he verbally or physically harasses you or something, talk to the manager.

Men who watch ';adult entertainment'; : Would you agree that your daughter work in this so called ';industry';?

Be sincere and explain what you would think if your own daughter, sister or any female relative wanted to be a porn ';actress'; ?

When you are watching porn, do you sometimes try to imagine that this girl is someone's daughter?

PS : I guess my excellent question will calm down a lot of men...Men who watch ';adult entertainment'; : Would you agree that your daughter work in this so called ';industry';?
come on! that is a cheap-shot guilt-trip tactic you are using! of course many men would not want their daughters in the porn industry.

these women are old enough to make their own decisions and many of them even enjoy men watching them do whatever. our consciousness doesn't apply when it's someone else's daughter(legal of course).

personally if my daughter grew up to be in the porn industry i'd flip out and probably start making a dried flower album.Men who watch ';adult entertainment'; : Would you agree that your daughter work in this so called ';industry';?
It all depends on exactly what part of ';adult entertainment'; you want to be an actress in. Softporn has no penetration at all, just kissing, rubbing, etc. No threat of any diseases being spread. But hardcore porn actresses usually end up using drugs to cope with the pain %26amp; humiliation %26amp; that can all go down hill. I watch adult entertainment, but only the softcore porn you see on Cinemax or Showtime. It pays well if you don't end up with a sleazy manager, but people will always think less of you %26amp; it can be hard to find a person to take you serious in a relationship. It's a lifelong decision, even if you retire or leave the industry, you will always be thought of as a prostitute or whore. I would not recommend that lifestyle to anybody.
I wouldn't think any less of any of my family members if they decided to do porn. As long as they're happy and have a rational reason behind their decision, I won't mind. If it's my own daughter, I can't say I'd support her, but if she's a grown adult, then I can't stop her either. I'd rather she be able to tell me she does porn then put up a goody-goody front and have to lie to me about it. I know that I can't control everything in my children's lives.

I'd be pissed if she becomes a prostitute though! But porn isn't as bad. You can look, but you can't touch.
theres absolutly nothing wrong with 'adult entertainment' many of this kind of entertainent are family buisnesses with sons and/or daughters playing the pornstars with other stars. personally i wouldnt mind, aslong as it was something they wanted to do and did it safely.

i am not old enuf 2 have kids yet(18) but sure i wouldnt mind if thats what they wanted to do... i guess, id maybe try 2 stear them away from it but if it cant b helped it cant be helped..:/
I assume you mean would I agree to let my daughter. Well as they are only allowed to let 18yr or older it would be a choice out of my hands...she would be an adult able to make her own choices, like em or not.

Now would I be happy about it, I honestly don't know. I would say I would rather my daughter be a porn actress than just a huge slut because at least an actress is making money and it is a business where she could make decent money, rather than just sleeping with hordes of men for the hell of it.

But what would I think of any female relative doing it? I don't know. I expect I would not know what I would do until the situation arose but I would hope that whatever way I went on the reaction I would be decent about it and not making huge drama.

I hope I would act like a family member who find out that a guy in the family has sex with tons of women daily since that would be same thing.

As for thinking about the women as someone's daughter....well every man thinks about one day if he has a little girl that no matter what she will be having sex....and it is not something any father cares for be it porn, or her husband. For the record it does pop into my head once in awhile when I watch porn, but for the most part I watch it when I have sex on the mind. In either case when I do I also think about how most can make money at it so whatever my feelings on it I cannot begrudge someone their job
When I do have kids I'm going to teach them to think critically. If she has plans for what she wants to do to earn money afterwards and she has given me a good argument for it then I'd have to respect her decision. Though I would prefer if she didn't, eventually I'd have to get over it anyway.

Plus once she's 18 it's not like I can legally stop her anyway. Besides I would be much more concerned with making sure she doesn't get knocked up before she finished highschool. and for some reason the biggest ';sIuts'; and ';b!tch3$'; and ';ho3$'; never get knocked up regardless of how much d**k they get.
You, as a female, never enjoy a butt flash of a famous celeb once in awhile? I'm not into porn, but if I saw a naked man doing stuff on a adult movie, I would never correlate with my own sons, believe me.It's all just fantasy.
i think i will go crazy honestly and no why would i? that kills everything lol.

Head and Shoulder Shampoo. Does this shampoo really work? Is it good? Opinions please. Thanks.?

I'm shopping for a NEW SHAMPOO and I don't know what to get. I just need something really good that doesn't make my scalp dry/itchy and something that keeps the moisture in. If anybody else has any other suggestions please feel free to tell. Thank you.Head and Shoulder Shampoo. Does this shampoo really work? Is it good? Opinions please. Thanks.?
yeah, it helps for dandruff and dry scalp, but its not very nurturing to your hair. I would definitely buy the seperate shampoo and condition, cause the 2-in-1 is crap. they have an extra moisturising one now, but i would still only use it every 3rd day or so, using your regular shampoo and conditioner on the days in between.

If you don't have dandruff or dry itchy scalp, I would just get an intensive moisture shampoo and conditioner, maybe even a seperate hair masque or something to use once a week for extra moisture.Head and Shoulder Shampoo. Does this shampoo really work? Is it good? Opinions please. Thanks.?
it does work but i think that the off brand one that does not have a specific brand works sooooo the best but if you cant find it head and shoulders works well tooo

There's this guy that works in my building?

There's this guy that works in my building. He's really good looking. He's with this really snobby guy sometimes. And he hangs around with this really snobby girl that's married sometimes. People I know have commented they think they may be having an affair. This is the thing when I've seen him in the hall at work, one time he saw me we just kind of came upon each other his eyebrows raised and he gave me a smile. But then another time he saw me from a distance and he looked down until he got really close and then looked at me but didn't say anything. One time when I was in the parking lot he happen to pull next to me. I got out of my car. He has a really nice car. I just said nice car. Then I continued to walk into the building. He did say thanks when I said this. Most recently when I saw him I was coming out of the restroom at work and he was passing by just at that moment I smiled and he looked at me and said hello. Is he just a moody guy. Or is he a big snob?There's this guy that works in my building?
He sounds like a shy person, not snobby. But if he is having an affair with a married woman, he sounds like a jerk who you shouldn't date.There's this guy that works in my building?
Thanks fort he best answer! Report Abuse

Good question. Who really knows what men think anyway.
freakish kinda snobby emo. stay away from him
He doesn't sound that moody or seem like a snob, since he did reply to you when you said hi. You seem to like him though, and he probably knows this. that's just my guess.

Can a philippine-born foreigner with i-card work legally in this country?

we were informed by the immigration officer that a foreigners with i- card are not allowed to watch over the store or even work? is this true? if so, does this rule also apply to the native (philippines) born foreigners with i-card?Can a philippine-born foreigner with i-card work legally in this country?
sure..you can even become president without a us birth certificate.Can a philippine-born foreigner with i-card work legally in this country?
there are lots of foreigner (with i card) born in the Philippines, and were told that they weren't allowed to work/watch over the shop in this country. they were raided by the immigration officer and were ask to give money (under the table) or go to jail. SO THE ANSWER IS STILL UNSOLVED. Report Abuse

The question is UNSOLVE! Because the answer was WRONG!!!

The best answer by Suzy was totally wrong!!!!

US is the country like other euro countries, their law is follow by its birth place, so no matter what race you are or your parents are, and no matter you and your parents are illegal alien%26gt;%26gt; Report Abuse

%26gt;%26gt;or not!!! When u got birth at their place u are automatic got their citizenship!

So Suzy answer: can even become president without a US birth certificate, may consider right if apply in US! Because they birth there are automatic became US citizen and had rights like all other Americans! %26gt;%26gt;%26gt; Report Abuse

%26gt;3%26gt; But in our case, the constitution law of the Philippines are not following by their birth place! It follows the citizenship of blood parents! Before only follow by citizenship of the fathers, and later it change by former president Cory, that the children born after at 1980+ (I forgot the Report Abuse

%26gt;4%26gt; exact year) and after may also follow by their mother鈥檚 citizenship!

Pls. check the related constitution and immigration laws!!!!!

It means the people who born before the say year of 1980+, if there grand-grand-grandfather are not Filipino citizen, even their grandmothers and mother are Report Abuse

%26gt;5%26gt; all Filipino citizen, no matter how many generations they are all got born here in the Philippines, are not Filipino citizen or they don鈥檛 have the right become natural born Filipino and still consider as an alien! And don鈥檛 have the right as all other Filipinos had! They need to apply Report Abuse

%26gt;6%26gt; for an ACR and/or an I-card like all other foreigners and restricted by the immigration laws like all other alien or foreigners!!!

You said: informed by the immigration officer that a foreigners with I- card are not allowed to watch over the store or even work? Is this true? Report Abuse

%26gt;7%26gt; --The answer is true! It鈥檚 because all countries had the same law or rules to protect the jobs or the livelihood of their own citizens! And to prevent the retail and basic services鈥榮 business fall under control of the foreigners, because it is basic economic structure of a country!!! Report Abuse

%26gt;8%26gt; You ask: if so, does this rule also apply to the native (Philippines) born foreigners with I-card?

--as the explanation above, the answer is definitely YES!!!

Because even they are born here, they are not Filipino and identify as foreigner! And consider as ALIEN!!! Report Abuse

SES: you the one who ask this question also agree to it is unsolve, why don't you post the question once more to let others help you to solve it?! and KC 's comment are good answer, i think he can give you more good advice! Report Abuse

Please help me on how to work this problem, im not good with this sort of thing?

What mass of barium sulfate can be produced when 100.0 mL of a 0.100 M solution of barium chloride is mixed with 100.0 mL of a 0.100 M solution of iron(III) sulfate?Please help me on how to work this problem, im not good with this sort of thing?
First balance the reaction equation:

3 BaCl2 + Fe2(SO4)3 --%26gt; 3 BaSO4 + 6 FeCl3

Since it take 3 times as much (per mole) of BaCl2 to react with the Iron (III) Sulfate, only one third of the Iron solution will be used to react with all of the Barium chloride solution.

100 mL = 0.1 L

0.100 M means 0.1 moles per Liter

0.1 moles per Liter * 0.1 L = 0.01 moles of Barium chloride reacted to give 0.01 moles of Barium sulfate.

Barium sulfate has 233.4 grams per mole (add the atomic masses of Ba + S + 4*O)

0.01 moles * 233.4 g/mol = 2.334 gramsPlease help me on how to work this problem, im not good with this sort of thing?
100ml x .1M = 10mmol barium sulfate.

10mmol x molucular weight of barium sulfate (add together the weight of Ba, S, O,O,O,O) = ur answer in milligrams

Anyone ever feel like the people who work less in this world, come out ahead?

I bust my butt at work and produce more completed work then my counterparts and they are the ones the boss seems to like better and rewards them?? It's very frustrating and makes me want to have a so what attitude, but that's just not me!Anyone ever feel like the people who work less in this world, come out ahead?
There's more to working effectively than working hard. It is a mistake to simplistically envision the world of human enterprise and behavior as a sensible system. Many good people erroneously hinge their success on the well-meaning but unrealistic belief that if WE conduct ourselves in honorable ways, others will behave in honorable ways toward us. There are self-serving motivations inherent in that belief. It's a form of manipulative behavior, just as push - and - shove as anything else out there in the shark tank. It's even a little passive-aggressive. But, it isn't as effective as anything else out there in the shark tank. We cannot enter the work culture with such an agenda, a belief that we can impose OUR concepts of honor and OUR work ethic onto others. It doesn't work that way. You will get gobbled up. The only way to survive is to make the challenge not about the hopeless agenda of imposing our notions onto others but to study the ways and rules of the work culture in an unbiased way, without involving our self-esteem in the process, and then mastering those ways and rules. One such way is to trumpet your own successes, for example. It's not enough to just work hard. You have to get more sophisticated and complex than that.Anyone ever feel like the people who work less in this world, come out ahead?
Thank you, Preguntas!
