I have an almost 2 yr old black lab, border collie, golden retriever mix who thinks she's a goat. She eats whatever she can get her hands on: towels, socks & underwear (clean or dirty & swallows them whole), coasters, glasses. . . you name it, she's tried to eat it. We've been to obience class and she knows "leave it" but still tries to eat everything in sight and ends up coming out one end or the other.

Ok, I want you to follow the following steps, one by one, and DON'T LOOK DOWN at the other answers!

1. Pick any number between two and ten
2. Multiply it by 9
3. you get a two digit number. add those two digits together
4. Subtract 5
5. Now think of the alphabet as a number system (a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4, etc). Pick the letter that corresponds with your answer
6.Think of a country that starts with that letter.
7. Think of an animal that starts with the second letter of that country's name.
8. Now think of the color that that animal usually comes in.

Now post the name of your country, animal, and color below! Thanks so much!

Note: I only need answers, don't explain to people how it's done. Just follow the steps and post your answer.

I got this class w/ this hot iranian guy in math class i once wrote him a note, asking for his name, & all he did was just answer it.No conversation.But i realized him look @ me often.So a month later 2day, i wrote him again and i said "what do you do after class" he was like "go home".i wanted 2get 2him closer, so i asked him if he'd go 2 starbucks w/ me on campus, he said yea sure.we talked pretty long and often he smiled and stuff, and then i had 2 go 2class and he walked me to the door of my class and i was like "well when you get off, u can call me and talk" so he took my number and i we said bye,&smiled. He changed seats w/ his friend 2b closer 2me but why??

I wasnt sure if he'd call at all. He added me on facebook n- after i got out of class, he TEXT me.i was surprised.He complimented me on the pics on facebook and today he brought me to my car n we talked moreBUT, he doesnt say much.y? he said he wants to talk 2 me.

So does this look like he is interested in more?

My husband works 350 miles away from home. I found out he has been cheating on me. He is coming home this weekend. We're trying to work it out but I can't seem to get it out of my head. We are always fighting about it cause I can't let it go as he always says. Is there some thing that I should do this weekend that might help our marriage?

China claims success in test of fusion reactor
Posted 9/28/2006 7:50 AM



By Alexa Olesen, The Associated Press
BEIJING — Scientists on Thursday carried out China's first successful test of an experimental fusion reactor, powered by the process that fuels the sun, a research institute spokeswoman said.
China, the United States and other governments are pursuing fusion research in hopes that it could become a clean, potentially limitless energy source. Fusion produces little radioactive waste, unlike fission, which powers conventional nuclear reactors.

Beijing is eager for advances, both for national prestige and to reduce its soaring consumption of imported oil and dirty coal.

The test by the government's Institute of Plasma Physics was carried out on a Tokamak fusion device in the eastern city of Hefei, said Cheng Yan, a spokeswoman at the institute.

Cheng said the test was considered a success because the reactor produced plasma, a hot cloud of supercharged particles. She wouldn't give other details.

"This represents a step for humankind in the study of nuclear reaction," she said.

U.S. and other scientists have been experimenting with fusion for decades but it has yet to be developed into a viable energy alternative.

"I think it is a considerable step ahead for China," said Karl Heinz Finken, a senior scientist at the Institute for Plasma Physics in Juelich, Germany, who had no role in the Chinese research.

"China is speeding up with the development of nuclear fusion and I think at the moment they are making considerable progress," he said.

The Chinese facility is similar to the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, or ITER, being built by a seven-nation consortium in Cadarache in southern France, according to state media. That reactor is due to be completed in 2015.

China is a partner in the ITER reactor, along with the European Union, the United States, Japan, Russia, India and South Korea.

A Tokamak reactor uses a doughnut-shaped magnetic field to contain the hot gas.

Several countries have produced plasma using a Tokamak or similar device, said Gabriel Marbach, deputy head of fusion research at the ITER facility. He said producing plasma was only one step toward the fusion that ITER aims to perform, and that the project could be helped by the Chinese experiments.

"It was important for China to show that it is part of the club, and that adds value to its participation in ITER," Marbach said.

"That is not to say that it is at the level of the Europeans or Americans," he said. However, he added, "We are rather admiring of the Chinese for conducting this test. It was conducted well, and they constructed (the machine) rather quickly."

China is the world's No. 2 oil consumer and its No. 3 importer, consuming at least 3.5 million barrels of foreign oil per day last year.

China plans to build dozens of nuclear power plants and is trying to promote use of cleaner alternative energy sources such as natural gas, wind power and methanol made from corn.

Looks like Invisalign has won their case. They promise to take care of OrhtoClear patients in mid-treatment, but OrthoClear cannot manufacture or import their product to the USA as of now.

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings. Both have the same amount of calories. Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams. Lowers quality of breast milk, Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response, And here's the most disturbing fact:
HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC.
