I am getting conflicting information when I search for answers.

Some people claim that the act of unplugging and then plugging in again later uses more energy then just leaving a device plugged in.

Others claim that unplugging devices (computer, microwave etc) when not in use for several hours at a time, saves energy.

Does anyone really know which one is correct? Will I see a reduction on my electric bill if I unplug my microwave, computer etc. when not in use and overnight?

Give some credible, valid, justifiable reasons for the dramatic increases in Firearms, Ammo and accessories*. Is there something sinister and conspiratorial behind it?* How can these prices not be considered Inflated?* How can these prices be justified and considered reasonable?* Who and What is responsible for these dramatic increases in Firearms and components in this industry?* Why is there a shortage on ammo in certain calibers?* Why, Why, Why?*

Okay. So, I had my period at an early age, was bulimic for my first three years of being a teenager, and I'm growing really slowly. I'm 5'0ish I think. And I'm like 15. Ish. =D

My mom says that PROTEIN helps you grow taller, and that growth hormones are actually MADE OUT OF protein. So that means that whenever I eat protein, I'm eating growth hormones, right? =SSSSS Well, it seems a tad bit weird and strange.

Does PROTEIN actually help you grow taller?

What about CALCIUM? And which of the two is more important to grow tall?

And since I hate eating MEAT, which is loaded with protein, I take protein powder and nutri-protein (stuff that you make protein shakes out of), does that help as much? I mean, it should, since I'm basically taking protein and excluding the carbs, right?

ALL HELP APPRECIATED, THANKS IN ADVANCE, <3!

Aye, very passable, that, very passable bit of risotto.
SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:
Nothing like a good glass of Château de Chasselas, eh, Josiah?
THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:
You're right there, Obadiah.
FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:
Who'd have thought thirty year ago we'd all be sittin' here drinking Château de Chasselas, eh?
FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:
In them days we was glad to have the price of a cup o' tea.
SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:
A cup o' cold tea.
FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:
Without milk or sugar.
THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:
Or tea.
FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:
In a cracked cup, an' all.
FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:
Oh, we never had a cup. We used to have to drink out of a rolled up newspaper.
SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:
The best we could manage was to suck on a piece of damp cloth.
THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:
But you know, we were happy in those days, though we were poor.
FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:
Because we were poor. My old Dad used to say to me, "Money doesn't buy you happiness, son".

I found out recently one of my good friends has Autism. I didn't even notice really. I know that might be dumb of me but he's not all the things that Autism usually does...he's actually very social,he does football,plays,choir,everything. And I think I like him a lot...not for sure though. and he's a romantic fool like me. But i'm just wandering..what can I expect from him in a relationship? Because he even said he doesn't express himself that much.

I want to increase my RAM from 512MB to 1024MB. I would like to have a go at doing this myself. Can you help or direct me to a thorough UK website to follow.

I have a Medion PC. It has two Samsung DDR-SDRAM PC-2100 (133 MHz) "cards" as advised by the PC Wizard 2007 software. Size - 256 MB (1 rows, 4 banks) x 2.

What do I exactly need to ask for to increase to 1024MB and which website would you recommend that I purchase from.

When i was pregnant last year my nurse said to take two flinstone vitamins they have the same folic acid as prenatal plus eveything else. I've been readying women are only taking 400mcg of it. Should i cut back to one pill instead of two? Each pill contains 400mcg's.

My insurance doesn't cover prenatal that is why i have been taking the children's flinstone.

Unlike Britain, Christianity has become synonymous with the American culture, it's in their history, politics, education, home and social life. Are the people that attack religion on the site wanting a different American culture, one that is more secular like Britain?

I have no doubt that a group of Chiropractors would review information from their peer and recommend a spinal readjustment over surgery.

I have no doubt that a paper discussing changing water into wine would pass peer review standards of Theologians.

Would ANYONE think that a dissertation that global warming was man made and real WOULDN'T pass peer review of Climatologist? I would be shocked if one was rejected!

Remember - Mann's hockey stick and Hansen's Y2K problem got by their peers. Maybe they were scared to question people of their stature. Their errors were discovered and corrected by a mining engineer.

Science shouldn't be accepted until it's independently verified. Not accepted if your buddy agrees with you. (as long as you peer review his work first.)
