Is it true that if your trying to lose weight and you stop smoking you more likely to lose more?

I smoke 1-3 cigarettes a day. I'm deciding to stop because I heard that if you smoke it can make it hard for you to lose weight even if you exercise 5 days a week. Is this true?Is it true that if your trying to lose weight and you stop smoking you more likely to lose more?
Actually, nicotine is a stimulant so it increases your metabolism slightly. However, you're more likely to stick to your exercise routine if you're not smoking because it'll seem easier, so it really depends on how you handle quitting. I'd say if you're only on 1-3/day you shouldn't find it tooooo hard to quit, just try to change your routines so that you're not tempted to smoke (ie drink your coffee somewhere else, have a piece of gum in the car instead of lighting up, etc.)





I was a smoker of similar habits last year. I quit, and now I'm preparing to compete in my first triathlon - life is much better post-smoking!Is it true that if your trying to lose weight and you stop smoking you more likely to lose more?
As far a I know, cigarette are a stimulant ans appetite depressant and the common understanding is people who quit smoking will initially gain weight. Also in Dr. Oz's book he even suggests nicotine to kick start weight loss I think (but not in smoking form of course!) But I personally quit after only smoking 3 a day and I didn't gain or lose.
Exercise is just as pivotal as calorie intake when it comes to losing weight, but the one diet that clearly showed results for me was wu-yi tea, it can be seen in the resource box underneath, they have a few free trials left, it was featured in Reader's Digest and CNN. I lost thrity pounds, it clearly does produce success!
I think there is only so far you can go if you smoke.





If you quit you be much more likely to excel in your exercise and reap much bigger health benefits.





However, when I first quit smoking I put on weight! Try to do something else with your time and not replace your smoking habit with an eating one.
lol smoking is bad for u period. your going to need healthy lungs to workout and obviously your going to struggle if your smoking its just going to hold you back even more.

  • Is it true that taking birth control pills will help me to get a clear skin?

    I have 6 month old baby and i don't want to get pregnant again also my skin is breaking out .Is it true that taking birth control pills will help me to get a clear skin?
    Some BCP's will decrease acne. But it depends on a number of factors.Is it true that taking birth control pills will help me to get a clear skin?
    Yes, I've been on birth control for the last three years and it has helped a lot. You'll just want to check with your doctor to make sure it is alright for you to start on a pill.





    Taking BC also helps with mood swings, if you have any, and cramps when you get your period :)
    The hormones in some birth control pills do get rid of acne for some women.
    well i was given bc specifically for my acne... it didnt really do anything im sorry to say... i would suggest that new zeno acne treatment thing... its kind of expensive, but works GREAT!
    yeah acutally it is true that is what birth control is used for sometimes in teen girls just for the fact that their skin breaks out
    My daughter's completion went in the toilet when she got off birth control. However, the like Proactive apparently really worked, but she brought some cheaper brand, still worked.
    Use it for not getting pregnant again too soon. May be, you are initially against using the pills, so some one lured you by saying that it would help you to get a clear skin.

    Is it true that stress shortens your life span?

    I'm just curious, b/c I know some people who have had a tremendously stressful life, but they're well into their 80's. But a lot of stuff online tells me that stress does shorten you life span. Please answer!Is it true that stress shortens your life span?
    if the stress is serious enough and lasts long enough and you have genetic dispositions for other health issues in your family then yes, stress can shorten your life span. but it really is different for different people. if you are under stress right now then you need to contact your family doctor and let him/her know that you are under a lot of stress and have them check your blood pressure and heart rate just to make sure that you are doing okay in those areas. you might also want to see about doing Tai Chi or yoga to help with your stress levels.


    MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU!Is it true that stress shortens your life span?
    There are a great number of factors that effect longevity of life. Stress can shorten your life span as well as cause all kinds of other health problems (heart, circulatory system etc...) Stress during your younger years causes longer lasting effects on your system than stress at older ages. What you consider stress may not be stress to others, so you should consider that as well.
    Research indicates that stress can increase illness and inflammation and thus, may affect life expectancey. Stress can take on many different forms, and can contribute to symptoms of illness. Common symptoms include headache, sleep disorders, difficulty concentrating, short-temper, upset stomach, job dissatisfaction, low morale, depression, and anxiety, sleep disturbances, and low energy. Part of the reason for this may be the effects of the physiological responses in your body that happen when you are stressed. In response to stress, our bodies undergo a cascade of physiological events which help us cope with the stressful situation. Perception of a stress activates the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), a process known as the “fight or flight” response, which mobilizes energy to help us respond to the stress. For example, activation of the SNS diverts blood flow away form the stomach and digestion to the heart and lungs to prepare for a possible need to run away form a threat. Stress also increases release of cortisol from our adrenal glands, which further contributes to redirecting energy toward dealing with stress and away from other bodily functions. At the conclusion of the stress, all these reactions are reduced to normal levels, and the body quickly returns to its state or balance, or “homeostasis';. This is a normal pattern of stress responsivity and recovery, and when this happens, we remain healthy in our minds and bodies and, importantly, ready to respond to the inevitable stresses that will come our way.





    Well, note that a critical part of the “stress cycle” described above is the stressful situation ending, and the body recovering. When stress does not end, as you are describing, or when stresses come rapidly and for a long time, one after another, the body does not have time to recover, and the stress becomes chronic. Chronic stress prolongs activation of the SNS and the cortisol response. This extended activity of the physiological stress response can cause what some ';physiological exhaustion'; which can be characterized by what you describe. It's your body telling you it needs a break for the stress. Sleep is great, but you may need to do other things too.





    At the core of stress management are things like following a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and making time for uninterrupted relaxation, even if it’s just a few minutes a day. Happily, research has shown that people, even those living busy and stressful lives, can avoid many of the negative effects of stress when they implement and stick to stress-management techniques.
    It can, can cause blood pressure and cardiac problems, some people even link it to cancer. On the other hand there are people that have lived horribly stressful lives but somehow manage to thrive, I believe attitude has a lot to do with that.
    Hi,





    Yes. Its definately true. I suggest you should try some meditation. Here's a technique for you to learn Transcendental Meditation.

    Thanks,


    James
    I definately think so. I believe it's possible that humans would live well into their hundreds without stress maybe even older but we would never know because as long as humans have been around there has always been incredible amounts of stress...
    It has lot to do with each individual how and what level they are able to deal with stress.
    Yes, but it makes it worth living.
    it sure does

    Is it true that losing 35 lb makes your penis grow by 1 inch?

    I heard this in Oprah, an expert on Oprah said losing 35lb of fat makes your penis + 1inch.Is it true that losing 35 lb makes your penis grow by 1 inch?
    Not exactly. It stays the same size; but with the lack of fat around the base it protrudes more.Is it true that losing 35 lb makes your penis grow by 1 inch?
    If Oprah said it, it has to be true. Right?
    no it' actually 6 inches.
    I think you misunderstood they probably said losing weight gives you more energy for a better sex life!
    Be good if it did lol
    BS man, maybe you can see more of it, haha. There are ways to make it slightly larger. I myself have gained about an inch, and its gotten slightly fatter. There are manual exercises that work, they include stretching and engorging the penis with more blood (like an ultra erection). Mistermanpower.com has a good routine on this. You need to be patient and careful tho, or you can hurt yourself. Email me if you got any questions
    I lost 50 pounds and my shoe size went down from size 9 to size 8. For your penis I think the fat around the beginning area reveals part of the penis that was covered with fat and another inch is revealed if the fat is lost. Hope it helps.
    It doesn't make it grow, but it does make what you've already got more prominent, which makes it seem as thought it has grown.
    yes after you made out with a real horse
    Probably not, but if your penis gets an inch bigger you wil be an ounce heavier.
    ';an expert on Oprah';





    Contradiction of terms, all words prior to that statement have become null and void. Please re-assess the query
    poop
    it is very very true. Iam 50 now and everytime I gain around 5 kgs the penis becomes small, when I loose around 5 kgs it becomes longer.
    No Way!!!!1 Finally!
    Don't believe everything you hear(or read). If you loose 35lbs, you just may be able to see an inch more of it.
    I very much doubt it, but everything is relative, so if you are smaller your penis may appear larger, even though it isn't.





    I mean most males in porn movies have large penis`s, that is unless you are a 2 ton elephant, and then their ***** would look extremly small, it`s all relative :)
    I DONT THINK SOO BUT IM NOT A BOY SOO YEAH... Y WORRY ABOUT IT ANY-WAY??

    Is there an easy way to find out the true earnings of companies?

    Many companies nowadays exclude the so called non-recurring expenses from the earnings they report. Which makes their earnings seem better than they actually are, especially if these companies keep having some non-recurring expenses every quarter and every year.





    It's like I don't buy a TV every quarter or a car every year. But if I keep buying something different every quarter, then my expenses can easily exceed my earnings every year. And eventually I can end up deeply in debt and bankrupt as a result of all of these non-recurring expenses.





    I'd like to know what the real net earnings of companies are with everything included. But that kind of information seems to be awfully hard to find. And it's hard to trust the numbers at various websites because sometimes companies include everything in their earnings reports and sometimes they don't include everything.Is there an easy way to find out the true earnings of companies?
    One answer is to look at the income statement on yahoo finance and recalculate yourself.





    Remember, sometimes non-recurring items are income and not expenses.





    The other choice is to do what most successful traders do: follow the trend. Buy it if it's going up and short it if it's going down. All the numbers can be cooked by management. Look at Enron and CWTR.Is there an easy way to find out the true earnings of companies?
    You need to read the 10-K thoroughly.
    The best way is to go to SEC filings, and read through everything yourself. While time consuming, this is the best way. http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/com鈥?/a>





    You'll want to read a 10q or two, and at least one 10k.





    Even so, the earnings that you see on Websites (i.e. Yahoo finance) do include these one-time charges. These are GAAP earnings, and they do include the one-time charges, so I think that your concern is a little bit unwarranted. Here's an article that discusses this: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/20鈥?/a>





    Finally, while I wouldn't dare defend companies that like to report non-gaap earnings next to their gaap earnings, I will say that the example you stated, buying a T.V. every quarter, isn't what they are trying to back-out. Those types of purchases are capital expenditures, and they are accounted for using depreciation. Instead, they tend to back-out one-time charges like lawsuits, restructuring charges (i.e. when they fire a bunch of workers and give them severance), etc.





    Still, you might be concerned that some companies may be spending lots on capital expenditures in recent quarters, without seeing a huge hit to earnings due to depreciation rules, so it is for that reason that many value investors recommend looking at the cash flow statement, instead of just the income statement, when valuing a company.





    Sincerely,

    Is it true that water is good for your hair and complexion?

    I've heard that water is supposed to make your hair shinier and help your complexion. If it is true, how much do I drink a day? Note: I am 14Is it true that water is good for your hair and complexion?
    water is good for every part of your body. Your body is made up mostly of water. It is good for hair skin and nails. drinking enough water will not magicaly cure your acne however. it will improve the tone of your skin. your skin will also be lmore hydrated in the winter time. try to drink 8 glasses of water a day.


    stay away from caffiene like soda and coffee. those beverages suck the hydration out of your body.Is it true that water is good for your hair and complexion?
    It is a scientific fact that more water can help your hair grow longer and smoother. it also helps your face A LOT. More water means more moisture and less dryness. So you'll have smooth hair and a nice soft smooth complexion as well.=)
    ya its true..i sued to have so much acne..it all weared out...pro activ and differin n all those things didnt work but 12 glasses of water made my skin flawless...and hair? umm ya it just gives it fast growth
    I am also 14 and I dont get nearly enough water in a day. You should be getting at least 8 full cups a day and I do know that it can help you slim down. But with the hair...idk...
    yes, it's true, and you just drink as much as you can. They say 8 glasses a day, but everyone's different... I say just drink all the water you can handle!
    drink 8 glasses a day and your skin will look beautiful and also moisturize it.

    Is it true that when a person with a mental illness is on medication that they get better slowly?

    I say this because I'm on 5mg of abilfy and find my symptoms going away very slowly but they're going away.Is it true that when a person with a mental illness is on medication that they get better slowly?
    Depends on what the mental illness is. For anxiety and depression - sometimes. For bipolar and schizophrenia - no. Never. If you stop taking the meds, your symptoms would come back.





    If you mean, does it take a while for symptoms to disappear when you're on the right meds then the answer is yes. That's part of why it's hard to maintain compliance. People want to throw meds away after a few days or a week, when they can take a month or longer to kick in.Is it true that when a person with a mental illness is on medication that they get better slowly?
    No, I'm extremley against medicines of this kind.


    For one half the illnesses they make up are cash crops and are only the persons personality that they don't like.


    Two these medicines usually have bad side effects and simply are just ways of long term ';hole-in-the-wallet'; investments..

    most people with a mental illness diagnosis are not mentally ill, it is marketing, the worst, most evil type, sorcery





    Large pharmaceutical companies give money to universities (they control the universities) and in turn the professors publish their 'contributions' that normal behavior is mental illness.





    The result is even toddlers, with the terrible twos 'symptoms' are given powerful antipsychotics.





    The corporate controlled media like to make mental illness 'sexy', it gives an identity to many people who are too lazy to earn an identity. Then of course there is the small percentage of people who are truly mentally ill.

  • Is it true that there actually IS a cure for AIDS, the government just wont allow it?

    I read somewhere that an AIDS patient in Germany (I think) was cured of the disease, new medicine emerged that can actually eliminate it but the goverment will not release it since it will make pharmacies that make the HIV meds lose billions of dollars. Is this true? If so, my god the government if ****** up!Is it true that there actually IS a cure for AIDS, the government just wont allow it?
    There is no cure- this rumour goes around constantly for all sorts of things. You may be referring to a patient who (I only did a bit of research on this a few weeks ago) essentially had all his blood replaced and some other treatment on, I think, his bone marrow. This was for some other disease. It *appears* - coincidentally, because this was not an HIV treatment - that he is now HIV-free. (Bearing in mind this was all stuff on the Internet) However, it's not been that long since this treatment, the treatment is very risky with either a 50-50 or 25 to 75 chance of surviving the treatment. And it happened - if he is, in fact, 'cured';, as a fluke.





    There is still no cure for HIV, including ';blood electrification'; (Bob Beck) or any other snake oil being sold to a fearful population. And by the time anyone has AIDS, with all its diseases, it's too late for anyone's immune system to fight back.





    There is interesting reading at avert.org on fake cures. It's a great site and the page I refer to is below.Is it true that there actually IS a cure for AIDS, the government just wont allow it?
    If there was a potential cure for HIV/AIDs, the company who designed it would be pushing it greatly. It would be a bonanza for them in both financial and PR ways. Some of the HIV drugs are used for other viral diseases.





    HIV/AIDS meds are a relatively small piece of the pie. I've never dispensed an HIV/AIDS med. There are only a million people in the U.S. with that disease. They are researched so much because the federal government has incentives for it.
    idk that question is still a mystery to me. In my history class we've talked about how AIDS and HIV wiped out so many populations and theres some Biochem majors in my class sayin that there are cures and better treatments for aids but the government doesn't want to reveal because research teams, doctors, and pharmacists will loose billions of dollars...and u know how the government is all about money anyway..same thing wit cancer..they think there are treatments for cancers besides the chemo and meds...which in a way is worse than not goin thru those treatments





    The students in my class mentioned even if there is a cure..they'll make it nearly impossible to afford...
    Youtube ';Bob Beck'; . So are you a physicist too legator? You seem to know so much about this Bob Beck guy...why dont you tell us how quantum electrodynamics works, because Im sure Bob Beck more than understood magnetism, electricity and its effect on living cells, considering he worked for the government and was a top scientist in the field.
    It is still unknown if there is a cure for AIDS there have been myths that they found a cure but most of them are fake. If the government did have a cure yeah the government is ****** up.

    Is it true that warm water freezes faster than cold water?

    Someone told me that if you leave a bucket of warm water out in the cold it will freeze faster than a bucket of cool water. Is this really true or is it a fallacy?Is it true that warm water freezes faster than cold water?
    yes, it is true.


    because in a warm water, water molecules have more kinetic energy and they are more active. therefore, they give off heat faster





    in other hand, a cold water, molecules have less kinetic energy than molecules in warm water. so they are not as active as the warm water molecules and they give off heat slower.Is it true that warm water freezes faster than cold water?
    The myth may have arisen from the fact that cold water does absorb heat


    faster than hot water. However, once the water gets to a hotter (not yet


    boiling) temperature, it absorbs heat at a slower rate, and from that


    point it takes just as long to bring the water to a boil as it would if


    the water were hot to begin with. And because it takes cold water some


    time to reach the temperature of hot water, cold water actually TAKES MUCH


    LONGER TO BOIL THAN HOT WATER DOES.
    Yes, but not in all circumstances - it has something to do with whether the Mpemba effect takes place.
    Go find out! Its quite an simple experiment.





    Fill an icecube tray (2 trays one with cold and one with hot) and stick it in your freezer ..or if its cold enough leave it outside .Just make sure to keep checking every hour.





    After you have done so let me know and I will post an source why this ';idea'; is partly true. See if you can figure it out.
    well pretty much no, not really it is a fallacy
    It's true. I refused to believe it too.....but I proved it myself.
    True.
    YES
    wrong.

    Is it true that you can repress memories of being molested as a child?

    Why would you repress them? Also is it possible to just have fragments of those memories - like just remembering where or what happened, but not exactly who with or how everything went down?Is it true that you can repress memories of being molested as a child?
    People do this all the time. What I have seen is that some other event, like a death can bring these out and causes the person a lot of emotional distress. The more they talk about it, the more details come out. They should see a therapist to work on this.Is it true that you can repress memories of being molested as a child?
    You can repress tramatic memories in general, your mind represses them as a survival skill. They come back eventually ussally triggered by another more recent tramatic memory.
    yeah you can but I'm not sure to what age it is.





    also i have memories of being chased b a wolf wen i was little I'm not sure if its true my mom tells me its not true but i can remember it that's just my experience of a repressed memorie
    Definitely. Children and adults repress bad memories all the time. See you can just fragments of those memories. I would see a mental health professional to get treatment.
    I suppose...but I think it also depends on the age of the child of how much is actually repressed.





    The only logical conclusion as to the reason someone would want to repress these type memories is to forget about them and pretend they never happened.

    Is it true that after you give birth you stop growing?

    Im 15 and im pregnant (i know im young dont need to say) But im kind of short and i heard that after giving birth you stop growing!Is it true that after you give birth you stop growing?
    wow never heard that one...i don't think it's true.Is it true that after you give birth you stop growing?
    Never heard that and no it's not true, i've had 4 family members give birth before 15 yrs old and they kept growing, i'm sure they weren't 5ft9 when they were 13 to 15....lol!!! don't listen to that hype you will slow down in growth and be done about age 18 sometimes 20, men are older when they stop but remind you it's only height you stop growing in, you can always get wider so be sure to know the difference...lol!!
    Most girls stop growing a couple years after hitting puberty anyway. Chances are at 15 you're just about done anyway. I wouldn't expect to grow more than another inch.





    Once girls start to menstruate, they usually grow about 1 or 2 more inches, reaching their final adult height by about age 14 or 15 years (younger or older depending on when puberty began).





    http://kidshealth.org/parent/growth/grow鈥?/a>
    im 18 and im 5'1 honey. At 15 your probably done growing anyway. Being short aint all bad. Short girls are sexy. I don't think giving birth has anything to do with growth though, girls stop growing after puberty. Atleast for the most part.
    haha I was going to say, I thought you would stop growing long before you get pregnant..





    You stop growing around 15 anyway I think. Or maybe 17.





    But take the little girl who got pregnant at 6 years old. She grew after having her baby. Or else she would still look like a 6 yr old.
    I'm not entirely sure that that is true, but if you want to grow after the baby is born, talk to your doctor, and get the truth. Best wishes and good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    i doubt its true.





    Idont see how it can effect the growing(grow spurt)





    Godbless x
    From what I've seen you keep growing but not in height
    It is merely a mith (sp?).

    Is it true that there has been a lot of Polish immigration to the UK?

    there can't be anywhere near as many of them as people from India/Pakistan or the Caribbean, can there?





    note: i am not looking to stir up any racial trouble with this question. it's just an honest question about the population of the UK.Is it true that there has been a lot of Polish immigration to the UK?
    There has been a lot of Polish immigration to the UK, but you'd be correct in saying that there are nowhere near as many Poles in the UK as there are people of Indian and Pakistani origin. Most of the Poles here are economic migrants who don't intend to make the UK their permanent home - their plan is to make lots of cash then move back to Poland, and indeed many have already gone back.





    What's interesting about the Polish influx is how many have come here in such a short space of time - hundreds of thousands between 2004 and 2007, dwarfing the Government's official estimate of around 30,000.





    The presence of lots of foreign workers is a political sore point in the UK now that jobs are scarce, and it has led to a rise in support for hard-right nationalist political parties such as the BNP.Is it true that there has been a lot of Polish immigration to the UK?
    Not as many, no, but there are a lot of Poles here.





    Apparently, some have started emigrating back to Poland though lol, they must not like it here.





    ';Bloody foreigners, going back over there, leaving us jobs....';


    - 'Have I Got News For You' episode





    Oh, and Tesco (et al) have started catering for Polish customers, with separate sections for them. And some pubs now offer Polish beer. Apparently it's cheaper, works in half the time as John Smiths and can lose you your job.





    =)





    [disclaimer- I have nothing against the Poles....]
    Yes recently the rules have been relaxed in Europe and we are all able to work in different countries. The thing is people that left their home countries a few decades ago now consider themselves British and as the influx of Poles has risen considerably in the last 3 years then they more prominent in the general population at the moment.
    according to recent figures 1 million poles have arrived in the UK since 2004, while there are more from India and Pakistan they have been arriving over 50 years and not all at once.





    In my town 40% of the people are now polish.
    Yeah, i think our government will be pushing down on immigration, it is definately not as much as 1 million though i would say about5-6 hundred thousand
    They have joined the EU therefore can travel anywhere in Europe to work. So yes a lot have came over to Britain.
    Yeah that's what my friends who live in england said. Supposedly there's a lot of Polish builders etc
    There has been a rise yes.
    well yes i think there has been an increase

  • Is it true that most europeans drink wine with every meal?

    I assume the French and Italians probably do, but I've heard that the majority of european countries, or at least western european countries drink wine throughout the day. Not to get drunk(or maybe, who knows), but just like we would grap for a soda or a cup of coffee, they'll grab for a glass of vino.Is it true that most europeans drink wine with every meal?
    i guess so.. i mean.. it doesnt just depend on the country but what a certain region is famous for like bordeaux.. lets say there is a vineyard nearby, then there ought to be people living around that enjoys its produce.. but generally speaking.. more of central to south-western europe where sunshine is abundant and wine is good..Is it true that most europeans drink wine with every meal?
    This is a controversy. I have read some where that they drink wine with their dinner and having a glass of red wine is actually good for you. Takes all the toxins out of your body. I am not European, nor do I live in Europe. I would assume then that in only moderation they would drink wine with dinner. That is just a guess for me.
    Most of the times :Italians and French , some Spanish too.With a meal.
    No, perhaps in Austria they do.
    The attitude about having wine during the day in Europe, expecially with a meal, is very non-judgemental, although drunkeness at any time is frowned upon. I think this is because wine is seen as facilitating social enjoyment and as an important accessory element to the meal. Europeans understand the function of wine and are not intimidated by it. They are less likely to attach a moral value to having a glass than many Americans who see any alcohol related product as evil. With all that being said, I did not see people sucking down whole bottles during meals. They would casually sip a glass or two with their food. The house wines we recently had in Italy , were very inexpensive as well. In some cases they were cheaper than sodas on the menu, and much better than cheap wine is supposed to be.
    Not really true. A lot of countries (like Germany) prefer beer over wine.
    well we don't in England but yeah alot of countrys do drink it with most meals, apparently it's very good for you as it relaxes you and helps lower blood pressure!
    it depends of their thirst or ailments at the time,wine is also used for certain aches and pains ,to be taken in moderation only, allot of euros that i know do have red wine with every meal
    Not with breakfast.





    As for lunch and dinner, actually, the French not so universally as 50 years ago, especially north of the Loire Valley. Although still very popular, wine with lunch has been supplanted by many by beer and non-alcoholic drinks. South of the Loire the tradition of wine has remained more.





    Otherwise, in addition to the Italians wine with most meals is standard in the other Mediterranean countries of Spain and Greece. Protugal to a lesser extent, also Malta.

    Is it true that the buyer has 3 days from settlement to back out of the the contract?

    That's only if someone comes to you to sell you something. Like if a vacuum cleaner salesman comes to your home and you sign a contract to buy a vacuum, you have 3 days to change your mind. It's to protect people from being pushed into something they don't really want. this is my understanding of it anyway.Is it true that the buyer has 3 days from settlement to back out of the the contract?
    Generally, in almost all instances, a party to a contract cannot back out, without penalty, once the contract is formed.





    There are a few narrow exceptions. Door-to-door sales, which have already been mentioned above. Also, home equity loans and refinance agreements have a cooling off period.





    But, aside from the handful of exceptions provided by federal or state statutes, a contract becomes enforceable the instant its formed.Is it true that the buyer has 3 days from settlement to back out of the the contract?
    In some states, when a contract is consumated in ';The Home';, that is true.





    When the contract is consumated in the place of business, it may not be true. This applies because the consumer has gone to the business in person and by choice





    This law was enacted to protect the consumer from high pressure sales people, usually with cold calling.
    Varies state-by-state so you need to look up your applicable law but I do know that most states allow you to back out of a car purchase within 3 days.
    Depends upon the item and upon the state.





    Note your item and your state, please.
    depends on the contract that was signed.
    Yes, generally. Check with a lawyer.

    Is it true Obama trading California to China to repay the debt owed?

    I heard a rumor from a good source the Obama administration is considering trading California to China for all the money borrowed from them on the debt.Is it true Obama trading California to China to repay the debt owed?
    I don't think they'll take fruits and nuts as payment.Is it true Obama trading California to China to repay the debt owed?
    LOL hell no that wouldve never happen

    Report Abuse



    how do these rumors even get started? California is a U.S. state, he can't ethically get rid of it for any reason. And even if he wanted to, the United States Senate, the House of Representatives, and the American people would stop him. No one man has the power to break up the United States of America.
    That is both completely true and bitingly funny, little boy.





    Please go to Texas, now, before they secede without you.
    I doubt they would want California.
    china wouldnt want california
    I think he would have to pay them to take it
    THERE IS NO WAY I WILL LET HIM DO THAT
    he would lose to many votes if he did that

    Is it true that is best to not study the day before a hard math test?

    I heard that is better to take the day off before the day of a difficult math test. Is it true?Is it true that is best to not study the day before a hard math test?
    If you are comfortable with the math subject it is best to just go over what you know and study only the parts you find difficult. And study the method or formula of figuring out the problems not the actual problems themselves.


    If you try to jam too much in there you will freeze up in the actual test and blank out. Have a friend, parent or sibling give you 10 problems on a piece of paper that cover what will be on the test and leave it at that and skimming through your studies.


    If you are not certain of anything in the math coming up be sure to sit with your teacher or a friend and have them explain it to you in a manner you understand. Once you understand the formula in solving math it is really easy! It cuts study time in half every time!!


    Best of luck to you!Is it true that is best to not study the day before a hard math test?
    No.
    no way lol you must study every day untill the end lol and you must pass finen o im gonna kill you with kisses lol cause you make me suffer i need you baby i hope you ok kiss
    This is not true, you should study in small increments daily. You are not supposed to cram though, that doesn't work. You should always study the day before the test.
    I have read it is best not to study during the two hours before bedtime. To get plenty of rest- do not stay up late studying. Eat a balanced meal of carbs and protein the morn of your test. Good luck- hope you pass.
    Well I would not advise you to work out all problems in your books but you could revise all theorms ,formulas and key concepts.You can also practice one problem for each type of problems
    yes, if you're ready. You have to know what you're doing..
    I don't think so... But this depends on individuals....
    no it is not true cuz for maths u have to study well and practice and do examples given in book and do every and each sum.I am a person like any person but MATHS is my favorit bcuz it is hard but it help my brain to work by thinking .so advice u to practice even before a week so as to get fulll mark
    nope nothin like that maths is a subject which u can tackle only if u understand what u r doin so it really doesnt matter whether u understand how to solve the sum in the test or before that as long as u know how to solve it ... but if u know how to solve the sum before the test then u will hav more confidence durin the test and will do better so its always better to be prepared beforehand...

    Is it true that different human races are still drifting towards becoming different species?

    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/science/article3031104.ece





    Interracial marriages occur only in the New World, and even there it is too few to have an impact as something like 95 to 99 percent of marriages are within races.Is it true that different human races are still drifting towards becoming different species?
    That article does stand in the face of how things appear: People now populate the planet in large numbers in several racial groups that vary in narrow ways, but are extremely similar in the basic biology, as is typical of races or sub-species. And those races have come together as never before in the last 100 years. In ALL parts of the world, not just America. It is now a more common issue to identify people as a mix of races. Yes, people do tend to mate within race, but less so than before. And the social reasons are a relatively minor factor.





    The most important change that will effect the way people will look 1, 10, 100,0000 years from now is that people are physically able to travel throughout the globe, and they do, in large numbers. Travel is not limited to a few elites. And those who travel are, I submit, more likely to be succeeding in the game of life generally, and likely to bear fit children.





    This is incredibly important, because geographic separation is a principal cause of reproductive isolation. Now, it could be that social habits are enough to keep the races distinct. But when you look around, on the whole, do you think that wedded couples are socially ostracized and discouraged, in proportion to how different they are? I think not. You do see mixing being taboo, sometimes between people who look to be of the same race, for religious and other social reasons. And you do have taboos against miscegenation still. But they are much weaker than before. And you don't see them as much in the ruling classes, who generally tend to inititate social trends.





    So, speciation by branching ain't gonna happen in my opinion. We will all mix and the races will be more indistinct in the future.Is it true that different human races are still drifting towards becoming different species?
    We are all, always slowly drifting towards evolution into a new species.


    It is the way of the world.


    For instance, every year more and more people worldwide, regardless of race and origin are being born with webbed toes.


    Life knows when and how to prepare for worldly changes.
    Well the article was published late in 2007, so I think it's too soon to ask if it's STILL true. Also, it's just one scientist, basically, who is saying this--most say it's not happening.
    No. Speciation is not that simple. The Tazmanian Aboriginals were isolated from other humans for thousands of years.





    They could still have children with other people, so they were still the same species.
    I doubt it. SO many marriage are multi racial that we will probably make a super race or something but not a new species.
    no, no matter what eugenics peopl tell you.

    Is it true that Obama will change the White House into a pyramid?

    My Sister said if he gets to be president he will change the white house into a big pyramid and make nucular war. Is that true?Is it true that Obama will change the White House into a pyramid?
    LOL Yes. He's already got a camel for a wife.Is it true that Obama will change the White House into a pyramid?
    Yes. He needs a pyramid in Washington to focus the energy from the nuclear blast and channel it to the spiritual Antichrist Energy Forces Brainwash Brigade (AEFBB). After they do this, the slick liars in Washington plan to unleash tens of thousands of little trucks playing music to go out onto the streets of every neighborhood. When brainwashed people hear music from those trucks, they will be brainwashed to go out the the truck and give money to the federal tax man in exchange for some ice cream, but really what they are doing is brainwashing you into paying higher taxes and the people just thought they got ice cream.
    He'll probably wear the cultural garb of other countries to show his global sentiments. He'll invite Bill Ayers, the President of Afghanistan, Tony Rezko, Reverend Wright, and his other radical friends and associates to White House dinners
    Yes, with the help of his terrorist friends. He's America's worst nightmare. I can't believe he is running for president and people are actually voting for him. He's the worst thing that could happen to this country. Vote McCain and your freedom.
    Son, you have to be at least fourteen to play here. Please ask mommy to turn off the computer and give you a warm glass of milk.
    Only the pyramid part is true.





    The other part is ridiculous.
    That's a change. Bush and Cheney changed the White House into a giant pyramid scheme, and they're taking the Treasury with them on the way out the door.
    Yes, your sister figured it out. She is SO smart. McCain is going to turn it into a nursing home. I like pyramids better.
    A pyramid or a white triangle hat that she wears occasionally in some gatherings?
    A Pyramid? No. A Mosque? Would not surprise me...
    $50,000 Pyramid?
    Hell no this is from SNL lol


    it would be sweet tho...


    the pyramid part that is
    I sure hope so, we need a change from the same ole same ole.
    Not a pyramid, a pentagram. That way he can summon up his father.
    I don't like Obama, but that would be cool actually. They should put a casino in it too, pay off the debt.
    Um no, and what crazy people has she been hanging out with? And it is spelled Nuclear.
    No he won't. She was watching Olbermann make a joke about that.
    That was from the SNL spoof on Thursday night, very well done, very funny!
    Yes that's why everyone is voting for him! His middle name is Steve

  • Is it true that pilots mostly have girls as their babies?

    I heard that males who fly mostly have girls because they often get scared and the X chromosome breaks into Y chromosomes... Is that True?Is it true that pilots mostly have girls as their babies?
    I don't think it is possible for x chromosomes to morph into y chromosomes. It is merely coincidence and beating the odds. You will always have a 50% chance because of the vast number of ';possibilities';.Is it true that pilots mostly have girls as their babies?
    If the X chromosome broke into a Y it would make males, not females.





    That's not possible anyway since X has no genes that are in Y and Y has no genes that are in X so the idea that ';X chromosomes break into Y chromosomes'; is ridiculous.





    And even if that was possible, how would being scared affect that?





    Conclusion: NO
    I think there are rumors like this for a lot of different jobs. My husband says the same thing, he's an electronics tech in the USMC and says they all have girls because of the equipment they work near. I'm sure it's probably coincidence, there would be research done if it were true.
    amazing to hear but far from reality . wow u know what you r talking about chromosome breakage which is often lethal
    ABSOLUTELY NOT. If so only by coincidence.

    Is it true that there has been a lot of Polish immigration to the UK?

    there can't be anywhere near as many of them as people from India/Pakistan or the Caribbean, can there?





    note: i am not looking to stir up any racial trouble with this question. it's just an honest question about the population of the UK.Is it true that there has been a lot of Polish immigration to the UK?
    There has been a lot of Polish immigration to the UK, but you'd be correct in saying that there are nowhere near as many Poles in the UK as there are people of Indian and Pakistani origin. Most of the Poles here are economic migrants who don't intend to make the UK their permanent home - their plan is to make lots of cash then move back to Poland, and indeed many have already gone back.





    What's interesting about the Polish influx is how many have come here in such a short space of time - hundreds of thousands between 2004 and 2007, dwarfing the Government's official estimate of around 30,000.





    The presence of lots of foreign workers is a political sore point in the UK now that jobs are scarce, and it has led to a rise in support for hard-right nationalist political parties such as the BNP.Is it true that there has been a lot of Polish immigration to the UK?
    Not as many, no, but there are a lot of Poles here.





    Apparently, some have started emigrating back to Poland though lol, they must not like it here.





    ';Bloody foreigners, going back over there, leaving us jobs....';


    - 'Have I Got News For You' episode





    Oh, and Tesco (et al) have started catering for Polish customers, with separate sections for them. And some pubs now offer Polish beer. Apparently it's cheaper, works in half the time as John Smiths and can lose you your job.





    =)





    [disclaimer- I have nothing against the Poles....]
    Yes recently the rules have been relaxed in Europe and we are all able to work in different countries. The thing is people that left their home countries a few decades ago now consider themselves British and as the influx of Poles has risen considerably in the last 3 years then they more prominent in the general population at the moment.
    according to recent figures 1 million poles have arrived in the UK since 2004, while there are more from India and Pakistan they have been arriving over 50 years and not all at once.





    In my town 40% of the people are now polish.
    Yeah, i think our government will be pushing down on immigration, it is definately not as much as 1 million though i would say about5-6 hundred thousand
    They have joined the EU therefore can travel anywhere in Europe to work. So yes a lot have came over to Britain.
    Yeah that's what my friends who live in england said. Supposedly there's a lot of Polish builders etc
    There has been a rise yes.
    well yes i think there has been an increase

    Is it true that losing 35 lb makes your penis grow by 1 inch?

    I heard this in Oprah, an expert on Oprah said losing 35lb of fat makes your penis + 1inch.Is it true that losing 35 lb makes your penis grow by 1 inch?
    Not exactly. It stays the same size; but with the lack of fat around the base it protrudes more.Is it true that losing 35 lb makes your penis grow by 1 inch?
    If Oprah said it, it has to be true. Right?
    no it' actually 6 inches.
    I think you misunderstood they probably said losing weight gives you more energy for a better sex life!
    Be good if it did lol
    BS man, maybe you can see more of it, haha. There are ways to make it slightly larger. I myself have gained about an inch, and its gotten slightly fatter. There are manual exercises that work, they include stretching and engorging the penis with more blood (like an ultra erection). Mistermanpower.com has a good routine on this. You need to be patient and careful tho, or you can hurt yourself. Email me if you got any questions
    I lost 50 pounds and my shoe size went down from size 9 to size 8. For your penis I think the fat around the beginning area reveals part of the penis that was covered with fat and another inch is revealed if the fat is lost. Hope it helps.
    It doesn't make it grow, but it does make what you've already got more prominent, which makes it seem as thought it has grown.
    yes after you made out with a real horse
    Probably not, but if your penis gets an inch bigger you wil be an ounce heavier.
    ';an expert on Oprah';





    Contradiction of terms, all words prior to that statement have become null and void. Please re-assess the query
    poop
    it is very very true. Iam 50 now and everytime I gain around 5 kgs the penis becomes small, when I loose around 5 kgs it becomes longer.
    No Way!!!!1 Finally!
    Don't believe everything you hear(or read). If you loose 35lbs, you just may be able to see an inch more of it.
    I very much doubt it, but everything is relative, so if you are smaller your penis may appear larger, even though it isn't.





    I mean most males in porn movies have large penis`s, that is unless you are a 2 ton elephant, and then their ***** would look extremly small, it`s all relative :)

    Is it true that warm water freezes faster than cold water?

    Someone told me that if you leave a bucket of warm water out in the cold it will freeze faster than a bucket of cool water. Is this really true or is it a fallacy?Is it true that warm water freezes faster than cold water?
    yes, it is true.


    because in a warm water, water molecules have more kinetic energy and they are more active. therefore, they give off heat faster





    in other hand, a cold water, molecules have less kinetic energy than molecules in warm water. so they are not as active as the warm water molecules and they give off heat slower.Is it true that warm water freezes faster than cold water?
    The myth may have arisen from the fact that cold water does absorb heat


    faster than hot water. However, once the water gets to a hotter (not yet


    boiling) temperature, it absorbs heat at a slower rate, and from that


    point it takes just as long to bring the water to a boil as it would if


    the water were hot to begin with. And because it takes cold water some


    time to reach the temperature of hot water, cold water actually TAKES MUCH


    LONGER TO BOIL THAN HOT WATER DOES.
    Yes, but not in all circumstances - it has something to do with whether the Mpemba effect takes place.
    Go find out! Its quite an simple experiment.





    Fill an icecube tray (2 trays one with cold and one with hot) and stick it in your freezer ..or if its cold enough leave it outside .Just make sure to keep checking every hour.





    After you have done so let me know and I will post an source why this ';idea'; is partly true. See if you can figure it out.
    well pretty much no, not really it is a fallacy
    It's true. I refused to believe it too.....but I proved it myself.
    True.
    YES
    wrong.

    Is it true that there actually IS a cure for AIDS, the government just wont allow it?

    I read somewhere that an AIDS patient in Germany (I think) was cured of the disease, new medicine emerged that can actually eliminate it but the goverment will not release it since it will make pharmacies that make the HIV meds lose billions of dollars. Is this true? If so, my god the government if ****** up!Is it true that there actually IS a cure for AIDS, the government just wont allow it?
    There is no cure- this rumour goes around constantly for all sorts of things. You may be referring to a patient who (I only did a bit of research on this a few weeks ago) essentially had all his blood replaced and some other treatment on, I think, his bone marrow. This was for some other disease. It *appears* - coincidentally, because this was not an HIV treatment - that he is now HIV-free. (Bearing in mind this was all stuff on the Internet) However, it's not been that long since this treatment, the treatment is very risky with either a 50-50 or 25 to 75 chance of surviving the treatment. And it happened - if he is, in fact, 'cured';, as a fluke.





    There is still no cure for HIV, including ';blood electrification'; (Bob Beck) or any other snake oil being sold to a fearful population. And by the time anyone has AIDS, with all its diseases, it's too late for anyone's immune system to fight back.





    There is interesting reading at avert.org on fake cures. It's a great site and the page I refer to is below.Is it true that there actually IS a cure for AIDS, the government just wont allow it?
    If there was a potential cure for HIV/AIDs, the company who designed it would be pushing it greatly. It would be a bonanza for them in both financial and PR ways. Some of the HIV drugs are used for other viral diseases.





    HIV/AIDS meds are a relatively small piece of the pie. I've never dispensed an HIV/AIDS med. There are only a million people in the U.S. with that disease. They are researched so much because the federal government has incentives for it.
    idk that question is still a mystery to me. In my history class we've talked about how AIDS and HIV wiped out so many populations and theres some Biochem majors in my class sayin that there are cures and better treatments for aids but the government doesn't want to reveal because research teams, doctors, and pharmacists will loose billions of dollars...and u know how the government is all about money anyway..same thing wit cancer..they think there are treatments for cancers besides the chemo and meds...which in a way is worse than not goin thru those treatments





    The students in my class mentioned even if there is a cure..they'll make it nearly impossible to afford...
    Youtube ';Bob Beck'; . So are you a physicist too legator? You seem to know so much about this Bob Beck guy...why dont you tell us how quantum electrodynamics works, because Im sure Bob Beck more than understood magnetism, electricity and its effect on living cells, considering he worked for the government and was a top scientist in the field.
    It is still unknown if there is a cure for AIDS there have been myths that they found a cure but most of them are fake. If the government did have a cure yeah the government is ****** up.

    Im 15 and im pregnant (i know im young dont need to say) But im kind of short and i heard that after giving birth you stop growing!Is it true that after you give birth you stop growing?
    wow never heard that one...i don't think it's true.Is it true that after you give birth you stop growing?
    Never heard that and no it's not true, i've had 4 family members give birth before 15 yrs old and they kept growing, i'm sure they weren't 5ft9 when they were 13 to 15....lol!!! don't listen to that hype you will slow down in growth and be done about age 18 sometimes 20, men are older when they stop but remind you it's only height you stop growing in, you can always get wider so be sure to know the difference...lol!!
    Most girls stop growing a couple years after hitting puberty anyway. Chances are at 15 you're just about done anyway. I wouldn't expect to grow more than another inch.





    Once girls start to menstruate, they usually grow about 1 or 2 more inches, reaching their final adult height by about age 14 or 15 years (younger or older depending on when puberty began).





    http://kidshealth.org/parent/growth/grow鈥?/a>
    im 18 and im 5'1 honey. At 15 your probably done growing anyway. Being short aint all bad. Short girls are sexy. I don't think giving birth has anything to do with growth though, girls stop growing after puberty. Atleast for the most part.
    haha I was going to say, I thought you would stop growing long before you get pregnant..





    You stop growing around 15 anyway I think. Or maybe 17.





    But take the little girl who got pregnant at 6 years old. She grew after having her baby. Or else she would still look like a 6 yr old.
    I'm not entirely sure that that is true, but if you want to grow after the baby is born, talk to your doctor, and get the truth. Best wishes and good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    i doubt its true.





    Idont see how it can effect the growing(grow spurt)

    I'm a transplanted American living in China and such a law was badly needed. With 1.3 billion people (I think it is closer to 1.5 billion) and families that were 5 to 10 children, they had no choice, because it they hadn't, the population would be at 1.7 billion.





    In the USA, our population growth is only slightly more then China, the reason being, is education, economics plus social status has made us self regulating. China, would eventually become that, but that would take decades and China simply did not have that kind of time.





    The one to watch out for is India, which has 1.1 billion people and growing at 5 times the rate of China. They have family planning in place, but it is voluntary. Obviously it is not working, one because they have vast numbers of poor and uneducated, second they have a huge disparity between social class and incomes, and third, religion his a lot to do with that. It is speculated that India would not welcome government controlled limitations on family size because of that.





    Government control of family size in China is accepted by the people grudgingly. They absolutely realize that China had no choice and support government efforts, nevertheless, there are people who circumvent the law by hiding their children to paying the huge fines associated with that. That is why I believe the population is more then the official 1.3 billion figure.

    .Is it true that Obama is trying to pass a law or something to put a limit on how many kids someone can have?
    No there is nothing like that in the works, unless she is pertaining to China, then yes they have a cap and application process for having kids.
    She should go back on her medication. There's absolutely nothing in Obama's plans for anything like that.
    Don't believe her. You should have the # of kinds you can afford and raise well.
    That is pure bunk, could not be more false. Do not believe all that you read or hear.
    No, I'd be laughing if this were not so pathetic.





    She has been drinking the Fixed Noise Kool Aide.
    No. we're not to that point yet....now in China they have no real choice but have that sort of law because there just isn't room over there for huge families.
    No, she is lying to you.
    Good grief no. You are just giving Rush Limbaugh ideas, stop it.
    I actually had to look at your age on your profile because I was sure you were 12 or so. I cannot believe you are 22
    uh... no





    ask her where she heard it... chain emails perhaps?
    Your American president is only fixing to change one part of the american constitution so you americans will have a hard job getting him out of seat. You should watch for signs like our former Australian Prime Minister John Howard did in outlawing semi-automatic weapons and more stringent gun laws. Only once he has taken the power to vote away from you like Adolf Hitler did, and then taken away any means to uprise will he be able to stop americans breeding. I think it would be something like killing the first born sons if he is to get America ready for jihad.
    A couple of years ago this was suggested during the bush administration but it was never passed and I never heard anything about President Obama suggesting this but if he does I would support it as I did when President Bush suggested it.
    Not true, but people should have sense enough to do that themselves.


    Unfortunately the welfare system makes breeding


    a viable way of life for some.

    Is it true that you can repress memories of being molested as a child?

    Why would you repress them? Also is it possible to just have fragments of those memories - like just remembering where or what happened, but not exactly who with or how everything went down?Is it true that you can repress memories of being molested as a child?
    People do this all the time. What I have seen is that some other event, like a death can bring these out and causes the person a lot of emotional distress. The more they talk about it, the more details come out. They should see a therapist to work on this.Is it true that you can repress memories of being molested as a child?
    You can repress tramatic memories in general, your mind represses them as a survival skill. They come back eventually ussally triggered by another more recent tramatic memory.
    yeah you can but I'm not sure to what age it is.





    also i have memories of being chased b a wolf wen i was little I'm not sure if its true my mom tells me its not true but i can remember it that's just my experience of a repressed memorie
    Definitely. Children and adults repress bad memories all the time. See you can just fragments of those memories. I would see a mental health professional to get treatment.
    I suppose...but I think it also depends on the age of the child of how much is actually repressed.





    The only logical conclusion as to the reason someone would want to repress these type memories is to forget about them and pretend they never happened.

    Is it true that an average person swallows 8 spiders in their sleep?

    I find this very hard to believe. But everyone tells me it's true!Is it true that an average person swallows 8 spiders in their sleep?
    Yes. It's those little tiny spiders you can barely even see. They are almost microscopic. They say you swallow 8-12, but I don't think it could be that many a night. But there's almost nothing we can do about it. LolIs it true that an average person swallows 8 spiders in their sleep?
    If they are sleeping in a spider's nest, maybe.





    The statistic is actually that over the course of a LIFETIME, the average person will swallow 8 spiders in their sleep.
    actually i think it's 17 in their lifetime. or a year. i don't remember.
    Yes it's TRUE. Heard it on the Discovery Channel about a year ago! Yuck!!! but it only happens in a LIFETIME!!!!
    well i was half asleep one and a spider crawled onto my mouth and i didnt wake up. but when it crawled onto my eye i woke up scared as fu*k
    8 a night? Just kidding. It is false.
    EEEWWW!!!
    how would anybody know that answer if they're sleeping??





    i'd assume it happens sometimes tho. ick.
    Last night I had a tarantula. Delicious!
    Not true.
    sounds pretty unlikely,.....................


    actually sounds like total bs...
    It isn't true
    I've heard of that before but it's not true.
    There are no spiders in my sheep and I don't want any of them there either

    Is it true that caffeine slows down your metabolism?

    I bloody hope not as i actually thought it speeds up your metabolism instead.Is it true that caffeine slows down your metabolism?
    caffeine does nothing to your metabolism.





    it only speeds up your heart... and since each beat of your heart requires a certain amount of calories, it requires more calories overall if it's beating faster.





    As soon as the caffeine wears off, your rate of calorie burn returns to normal.





    Caffeine is not a good way to lose weight... it puts strain on your heart, and it doesn't burn enough extra calories to be worth it.





    Best to eat right and stay active.Is it true that caffeine slows down your metabolism?
    no, caffeine acts as a stimulant. Stimulants are drugs that temporarily increase alertness and wakefulness.
    dont say that i just had three cups.i am on the night shift.
    hope not i drink loads ????????
    I'm no expert, but all the diet mags tell us it speeds it up.
    in some ways maybe. i read an article in mens health saying that red bull and most energy drinks actually inhibits the body the ability to burn fat.
    IT does not affect your metabolism at all, only your pulse rate which it elevates slightly. It also acts as a mild stimulant.
    Pretty sure you were right to begin with. Caffeine is a stimulant, and thereby speeds up your metabolism. It's in some diet pills, even.





    If caffeine slowed your metabolism, I would be one fat guy, instead of slightly underweight. I consume around 700mg (and around 400 grams of sugar) of caffeine a day, give or take a bit.





    Really does a number on my teeth though (that's the sugar, however, my drink of choice is mountain dew).. Went to the dentist just today... 7 cavities.
    No caffeine is a stimulant. It speeds it up.

    Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

    Is it true that different human races are still drifting towards becoming different species?

    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/science/article3031104.ece





    Interracial marriages occur only in the New World, and even there it is too few to have an impact as something like 95 to 99 percent of marriages are within races.Is it true that different human races are still drifting towards becoming different species?
    That article does stand in the face of how things appear: People now populate the planet in large numbers in several racial groups that vary in narrow ways, but are extremely similar in the basic biology, as is typical of races or sub-species. And those races have come together as never before in the last 100 years. In ALL parts of the world, not just America. It is now a more common issue to identify people as a mix of races. Yes, people do tend to mate within race, but less so than before. And the social reasons are a relatively minor factor.





    The most important change that will effect the way people will look 1, 10, 100,0000 years from now is that people are physically able to travel throughout the globe, and they do, in large numbers. Travel is not limited to a few elites. And those who travel are, I submit, more likely to be succeeding in the game of life generally, and likely to bear fit children.





    This is incredibly important, because geographic separation is a principal cause of reproductive isolation. Now, it could be that social habits are enough to keep the races distinct. But when you look around, on the whole, do you think that wedded couples are socially ostracized and discouraged, in proportion to how different they are? I think not. You do see mixing being taboo, sometimes between people who look to be of the same race, for religious and other social reasons. And you do have taboos against miscegenation still. But they are much weaker than before. And you don't see them as much in the ruling classes, who generally tend to inititate social trends.





    So, speciation by branching ain't gonna happen in my opinion. We will all mix and the races will be more indistinct in the future.Is it true that different human races are still drifting towards becoming different species?
    We are all, always slowly drifting towards evolution into a new species.


    It is the way of the world.


    For instance, every year more and more people worldwide, regardless of race and origin are being born with webbed toes.


    Life knows when and how to prepare for worldly changes.
    Well the article was published late in 2007, so I think it's too soon to ask if it's STILL true. Also, it's just one scientist, basically, who is saying this--most say it's not happening.
    No. Speciation is not that simple. The Tazmanian Aboriginals were isolated from other humans for thousands of years.





    They could still have children with other people, so they were still the same species.
    I doubt it. SO many marriage are multi racial that we will probably make a super race or something but not a new species.
    no, no matter what eugenics peopl tell you.

    Is it true that is best to not study the day before a hard math test?

    I heard that is better to take the day off before the day of a difficult math test. Is it true?Is it true that is best to not study the day before a hard math test?
    If you are comfortable with the math subject it is best to just go over what you know and study only the parts you find difficult. And study the method or formula of figuring out the problems not the actual problems themselves.


    If you try to jam too much in there you will freeze up in the actual test and blank out. Have a friend, parent or sibling give you 10 problems on a piece of paper that cover what will be on the test and leave it at that and skimming through your studies.


    If you are not certain of anything in the math coming up be sure to sit with your teacher or a friend and have them explain it to you in a manner you understand. Once you understand the formula in solving math it is really easy! It cuts study time in half every time!!


    Best of luck to you!Is it true that is best to not study the day before a hard math test?
    No.
    no way lol you must study every day untill the end lol and you must pass finen o im gonna kill you with kisses lol cause you make me suffer i need you baby i hope you ok kiss
    This is not true, you should study in small increments daily. You are not supposed to cram though, that doesn't work. You should always study the day before the test.
    I have read it is best not to study during the two hours before bedtime. To get plenty of rest- do not stay up late studying. Eat a balanced meal of carbs and protein the morn of your test. Good luck- hope you pass.
    Well I would not advise you to work out all problems in your books but you could revise all theorms ,formulas and key concepts.You can also practice one problem for each type of problems
    yes, if you're ready. You have to know what you're doing..
    I don't think so... But this depends on individuals....
    no it is not true cuz for maths u have to study well and practice and do examples given in book and do every and each sum.I am a person like any person but MATHS is my favorit bcuz it is hard but it help my brain to work by thinking .so advice u to practice even before a week so as to get fulll mark
    nope nothin like that maths is a subject which u can tackle only if u understand what u r doin so it really doesnt matter whether u understand how to solve the sum in the test or before that as long as u know how to solve it ... but if u know how to solve the sum before the test then u will hav more confidence durin the test and will do better so its always better to be prepared beforehand...

    Is it true that Obama will change the White House into a pyramid?

    My Sister said if he gets to be president he will change the white house into a big pyramid and make nucular war. Is that true?Is it true that Obama will change the White House into a pyramid?
    LOL Yes. He's already got a camel for a wife.Is it true that Obama will change the White House into a pyramid?
    Yes. He needs a pyramid in Washington to focus the energy from the nuclear blast and channel it to the spiritual Antichrist Energy Forces Brainwash Brigade (AEFBB). After they do this, the slick liars in Washington plan to unleash tens of thousands of little trucks playing music to go out onto the streets of every neighborhood. When brainwashed people hear music from those trucks, they will be brainwashed to go out the the truck and give money to the federal tax man in exchange for some ice cream, but really what they are doing is brainwashing you into paying higher taxes and the people just thought they got ice cream.
    He'll probably wear the cultural garb of other countries to show his global sentiments. He'll invite Bill Ayers, the President of Afghanistan, Tony Rezko, Reverend Wright, and his other radical friends and associates to White House dinners
    Yes, with the help of his terrorist friends. He's America's worst nightmare. I can't believe he is running for president and people are actually voting for him. He's the worst thing that could happen to this country. Vote McCain and your freedom.
    Son, you have to be at least fourteen to play here. Please ask mommy to turn off the computer and give you a warm glass of milk.
    Only the pyramid part is true.





    The other part is ridiculous.
    That's a change. Bush and Cheney changed the White House into a giant pyramid scheme, and they're taking the Treasury with them on the way out the door.
    Yes, your sister figured it out. She is SO smart. McCain is going to turn it into a nursing home. I like pyramids better.
    A pyramid or a white triangle hat that she wears occasionally in some gatherings?
    A Pyramid? No. A Mosque? Would not surprise me...
    $50,000 Pyramid?
    Hell no this is from SNL lol


    it would be sweet tho...


    the pyramid part that is

    Not a pyramid, a pentagram. That way he can summon up his father.
    I don't like Obama, but that would be cool actually. They should put a casino in it too, pay off the debt.
    Um no, and what crazy people has she been hanging out with? And it is spelled Nuclear.
    No he won't. She was watching Olbermann make a joke about that.
    That was from the SNL spoof on Thursday night, very well done, very funny!

    Is it true that wearing mascara everyday ruins your eyelashes?

    I'm 15 and I wear mascara everyday to school, except on weekends unless I go out someplace. And someone told me that it's bad for my eyelashes. Is that true?Is it true that wearing mascara everyday ruins your eyelashes?
    no, it doesn't hurt your lashes as long as you don't take it off before you go to bed at night or 'rub' it off





    you don't want those cheap mascaras you buy at the drug store that can dry up your lashes, but when you remove your mascara, you should use BABY OIL because it will condition your lashes before bed and remove all the make up perfectly from your eye without rubbingIs it true that wearing mascara everyday ruins your eyelashes?
    it dries them out and can make them brittle making it more likely for them to fall out, but thats not always the case. Dont put on more than two coats per day, make sure you wash it off at night, and maybe try a new mascara. try loreal bare naturale mascara.
    hmm i never heard of that before! i don't really know. but if you use too much it's hard to get off and if you leave it on for like too long, then it could cause some problems
    i'm not sure either.. but there are healthy mascaras out there. that are light, and contain no wax. there are also ones with conditioning
    I'm not sure honestly. But I think it can make your eyelashes fall out sometimes and dries them out.

    Is it true that pilots mostly have girls as their babies?

    I heard that males who fly mostly have girls because they often get scared and the X chromosome breaks into Y chromosomes... Is that True?Is it true that pilots mostly have girls as their babies?
    I don't think it is possible for x chromosomes to morph into y chromosomes. It is merely coincidence and beating the odds. You will always have a 50% chance because of the vast number of ';possibilities';.Is it true that pilots mostly have girls as their babies?
    If the X chromosome broke into a Y it would make males, not females.





    That's not possible anyway since X has no genes that are in Y and Y has no genes that are in X so the idea that ';X chromosomes break into Y chromosomes'; is ridiculous.





    And even if that was possible, how would being scared affect that?





    Conclusion: NO
    I think there are rumors like this for a lot of different jobs. My husband says the same thing, he's an electronics tech in the USMC and says they all have girls because of the equipment they work near. I'm sure it's probably coincidence, there would be research done if it were true.
    amazing to hear but far from reality . wow u know what you r talking about chromosome breakage which is often lethal
    ABSOLUTELY NOT. If so only by coincidence.

  • How many of you believe the bible to be true?

    I have been a backslidden christian for almost 3 years. A lot of things in my life have made me so negative about who God is.How many of you believe the bible to be true?
    The bible is the Word of God, in John 1:1 He says that He is the Word...


    He also says I am the Way , the Truth and the Life...


    God is a man that shall not lie, God is the only One Who does not lie, so why would you choose to believe anything else ?


    What has made you so negative about God, did a person that was dear to you die ?


    You know already that it is God Who decides when a person is born and when they die, so why would you be upset about God's decisions, they are always the best decisions, because God can see far beyond what we can comprehend ...How many of you believe the bible to be true?
    The Bible contains truth.





    It cannot, in its entirety, be believed to be true because of any number of inconsistencies, contradictions and errors of fact (that's before we get onto moral and theological lapses, God's vindictiveness towards his enemies, and so forth). Anyone who thinks they believe that the Bible is true is deluded.
    True in what sense?





    That is kind of an ambiguous statement. I believe that Orwell's Animal Farm is true in its representation of the Communist Revolution, but I certainly don't believe that a group of talking animals overran a farm in England. I believe that the Iliad is based on the actual siege of Troy and that it represents all kinds of psychological and social truths, but I don't believe that it was meant to convey history.
    The Roman Emperor Constantine produced the bible and he was a pagan not god!!! He also organized Christianity into the Holly Roman Catholic Church!! Not in Israel or any of the countries of supposed origin but entirely Italian!!





    Not one word of it is contemporary with the period and was not written until many years after the period the story is set in!!





    What a wonder full disinformation and deception campaign he waged against his Christian enemies - so good in fact that Christians are still following the deception to this day!!!
    I believe the Bible is mythology and written by man, just like other scriptures and stories from religions around the world.





    That's not meant to be a put-down of it. Mythology is great, it has hidden wisdom and spiritual inspiration in it. It explains things that are complex and otherwise hard to grasp so that it really permeates our subconscious.





    So it is true in a sense; or at least it contains elements of truth, like the Greek myths and the Vedas are true. But I do not believe it is literal history, nor do I believe it is was revealed to us by a Higher Power of any kind.
    I do!!!! Jesus does,





    Luk 24:44 And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me.
    IT is all truth in the bible. You will have to go back to your first love which is Jesus. He is the way, the truth and the life, in Him there is no variableness nor shadow of turning. Get in your bible preferably the Amplified Version.
    Nope, it is clear from all the evidence that the Bible is only partially a historical document and everything prior to the Kingdom of David is myth.
    Yes, Adam came from dirt, Eve came from his rib and a talking serpent tempted Eve to eat an apple that caused all of us to suffer.


    And, Noah gathered two pairs of every species from around the globe before a flood created by God came.





    How could you not??!!!!!
    I dont. The Old Testament is just stories passed down by oral tradition until someone wrote it down. my mommy told me santa was real when i was a kid, and that doesnt make it true. Also, besides the four gospel writers there is only one other writen proof that someone names Jesus of Nazareth even existed. So we are supposed to take the word of four men who believed that their friend was god??? are you kidding me???
    I think the Bible is a man-made text on basic morality- not the direct word of God for He is all-loving and the Bible expresses hate which is ungodly and limited to human conception
    I don't believe it is literally true, but even as an atheist, I think there is some truth to be found in the bible. ';Love thy neighbor';, good advice. ';The love of money is the root of all evil';, once again, good to know.
    I haven't read the whole thing yet. Only parts of it in my Lit. class.


    But as far as I know the bible is a bunch of stories.


    But I plan to read the whole thing one day, I don't want to be an ignorant atheist.
    The Bible is Absolute Truth. Without a standard absolute, we don't have a basis for morals - knowledge of what is right and wrong!
    I used to, but I haven't in some time. While some of it may have some basis in history, it's certainly not 100% true.

    Is it true that when you look at the past, you rob the future?

    I remember this from an old TV series, known as Kung Fu The Legend Continues.





    Is it true that it really does rob the future when you look at what has happened in the past, and base decisions based on what has happend in the past?





    Does it matter what type of decision was made according to the past?





    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank You.Is it true that when you look at the past, you rob the future?
    Only if you are STUCK in the past*Is it true that when you look at the past, you rob the future?
    When you look towards the past or the future, you take your mind off the present moment.





    As the saying goes, ';Tomorrow never comes.';


    -This is true! Tomorrow becomes today, and we will never see tomorrow.





    You may ask why taking ones attention off the present could pose as a bad thing, and I would tell you because the present is what is happening NOW. We can only make decisions now. We cant make decisions in the future or in the past.





    Your quote rings a bit of truth. IF you make decisions based on the past, you are learning, but then again you must take the present into consideration. Every situation you face, every event, day, hour, or minute you experience is different from the one before. You will never experience the same minute, day, event, situation. Never.





    Treat every situation with compassion and consideration. Take time to focus on the present, and ignore the past. The future is important, but if we are always looking towards the future, what is the point for the present??





    This problem comes up a lot when people ask how they can be happy now, instead of later. I say, ';If you are always working to be happy in the future, you will never achieve it.';





    Happiness happens now, or never.

    I hope not because my family are always dragging the past up.

She is almost 19 now and I have enjoyed every minute of the time I have spent with her.
    Yes... but only the time to think on the future, because when you think on the past, you don't think on the future.. (loosing your time to think in something that is more important).
    No that's stupid. You need to learn from the past to avoid making mistakes, better quote,

    it's really not a good thing to find tissue cells A in organ B...that's called ';cancer'; or more appropriately: metastases: cancer cells can break away, leak, or spill from a primary tumor, enter lymphatic and blood vessels, circulate through the bloodstream, and be deposited within normal tissue elsewhere in the body
    No. Cardiac tissue makes up the heart. That is the only way it functions.

    Is it true that human pregnancy kit also works on dogs?

    A human pregnancy kit measures the levels of hCG in the urine. hCG is ';Human Chorionic Gonadotropin'; and is not present in dogs.





    One chemical marker for canine pregnancy is actually Relaxin, though to my understanding canine pregnancy is usually confirmed by U/S at the vet's, not by a chemical assay. Relaxin has been tested in research to try to detect canine pregnancy, but I don't think there is a commercial test for dogs utilizing it yet.





    The other test option for dogs at the vet is a blood test, which measures Fibrinogen. Fibrinogen over 300 ug/dL is a positive result. Though, remember that it's a blood test, not a take-home kit you can do yourself.Is it true that human pregnancy kit also works on dogs?
    Why do you want to know? I certainly hope that you are a responsible dog owner and your dog/s are spayed/neutered. How stupid, of course human pregnancy tests don't work on dogs. Whoever told you that is a moron.Is it true that human pregnancy kit also works on dogs?
    On TV , Living with the wolf man, I saw him do a human test on a wolf so it might work on dogs.
    Did you try it, and why do you want to know.
    no whoever made this up must be mental.. i dont really know why people think this
    It didn't work for the wolfman
    no and who ever told you this is stupid

    Is it true? To make more cleavage and your boobs appear to sit up higher... buy a size smaller bra?

    I was told that to make more cleavage, and to make your boobs sit higher up to buy a size smaller bra.. Such as if you wear a 40 DD then buy a 38 DD..





    Is this true, has anyone heard of doing it?Is it true? To make more cleavage and your boobs appear to sit up higher... buy a size smaller bra?
    theoretically its going to make your boobs appear bigger but it will be very uncomfortable and can cause problems in the long run


    but too do it every now and then shouldnt hurtIs it true? To make more cleavage and your boobs appear to sit up higher... buy a size smaller bra?
    You never what to wear a smaller bra than you're supposed to. It won't give you the right support you need. Without the proper support you chest will start to come down thanks to gravity. If you want more cleavage by a bra meant for give you more cleavage. They usually have more padding towards the bottom then the top. If you're bra size is that big then it'll be harder to find a bra like this.
    no, thats not true


    buying a smaller band will just make you uncomfortable


    buying a smaller cup will make you look weird!





    i'm a 32c, and i only wear victoria secret bras


    buy bras from there! they have the best ones


    go there %26amp; asked for their padding push up bras, it does wonders





    and if your a 40DD, you shouldn't even be worried about it!
    thats not really a good idea. You should never wear a bra that is the wrong size because it wont give you the right support. If you want try a push up bra that lifts from the bottom :) some lift from the sides. Just look around try different styles until you find the one that fits you best
    if you have a 40 DD you've already got plenty of boob, just wear a low cut shirt, but i think buying a smaller bra size would just hurt, try wearing multiple pairs of your regular bra size
    yeah it is true. I mean..I was given a bra for christmas and it was to small and that is what happened!
    NO! Buy an uplift bra in your true size. Try Fredericks of Hollywood or Victoria Secret
    No. Not at all. It's best to get fitted to the bra that is right for your size and shape.
    1. you're thinking go down a cup size





    2. that's not a good idea. there are push up bras for that





    3. your chest is big
    ah no, it wouldnt make your boobs happy because it is soo uncomfortable. Just buy a push-up bra.
    Yes This is true, the bra is tighter so it pushes your boobs together and out more ...


    hope this helped
    OK, if you're a 40 DD you don't need your boobs to be any bigger.
    it would also give you a double boob.
    Nah just wear a tighter shirt.
    just use a push up bra
    a push up bra
    push up girlie!
    i've never heard of it, BUT GO FOR IT!
