Could you eventually get to 1,000,000 by taking very very very small, incremental steps towards such an end?

Also...

Is the distinction between "micro" and "macro" evolution a bit silly?

I am reading a paper that says "...there is synchronization of alpha activity during creative idea generation..."

Can someone explain conceptually what this means?

I just wanted input on this subject. I'm an Asian male around 5'4", so I'm pretty short.

I was thinking of getting a slightly lengthy black wool coat. Either a pea coat or a car coat.

I want it to go past the waist, but not so long it trails behind me like I'm dodging bullets in The Matrix.

I don't want any huge collar around my neck (although I think it depends on the brand of the coat, regardless of what type).

I'm afraid if it's too long it was shorten my height by making me look like a midget (more than I am right now), but not so short it's like a jacket.

I also want something that isn't too loose. Not that I want it to be skin tight, but not baggy nor too stiff. It should fit around my rather slender arms but be able bend with motion.

So I don't want it too make me look I'm enclosed in a steel cylinder when it's buttoned up. No nutcracker style figure. Flowy, but with definite form.

What do you think?

In the city of Sonoma CA, there is a row of trees on 2nd Street that produce a Fall crop of fruit that is chartreuse and yellow . The tree looks like a Cottonwood tree (not as tall) and the fruit resembles a human brain, varying in size from a softball to a large Grapefruit. It smells like a cross between a pineapple and pine tree. I have trepidation about eating this fruit as I cannot find any reference to it's toxic nature.

Clinton's big-government vision is really no different than that envisioned by the neoconservatives so loathed by the left. Clinton, remember, not only voted for the Iraq war, she still hasn't conceded she was wrong to do so, and has made no promise to end it any time soon. Hillary Clinton voted for both the Patriot Act and its reauthorization. She voted for building a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border. She voted to loosen restrictions limiting the federal government's ability to wiretap cell phones. In the past, she has supported a robust role for the federal government in enforcing "decency" standards in television and music. She teamed up with Sen. Rick Santorum on a bill calling for the federal government to restrict the sale of violent video games. "I'm a strong believer in executive authority," Clinton has said. "I wish that, when my husband was president, people in Congress had been more willing to recognize presidential authority."

Doesn't this sound like a neocon to you?

Can high blood pressure caused by stress result in a constant sinus tachycardia? Or is it the other way round?

In April I was diagnosed with Sinus Tachycardia with a very high blood pressure. I am on beta blockers now but it doesn't always work, my blood pressure can fluctuate but my heart rate can still race.

I also get anxiety alongside some Chronic Fatigue like symptoms (tingling, pins and needles, visual probs, muscle pain etc)

Also, can constant anxiety cause chronic sinus tachycardia?

(I've been tested blood wise and they only conclusion the doctor has is either chronic faituge syndrome or anxiety or both)

Okay, here it is:

I am 30 yrs old & currently living at home with my father. A few months back, I asked my husband to move out because we were having problems. He was never home, stayed out late & came home drunk from time to time. Eventually we will divorce but here is the root of my problem. We always lived with my dad because were saving to buy a house. When I realized how unhappy we might be, I asked him to leave. We split our joint acct evenly but I flew through that money paying bills. I have no real way to save money because now I'm going half with my dad on the rent. I feel trapped. I thought about taking out a loan to facilitate a real move- out of state perhaps for a fresh start, but I don't need more debt. I partly blame my father because he always wanted me close by & that's some of the reason why my husband stayed out so much. I am miserable. I'm often at the mercy of whoever comes over for my dad because I have nowhere else to go. I'm losing my mind. Any advice?

Muslims Declare that Terrorism (WTC, BALI, MADRID, SAUDI BOMB) are Misused things in the name of relegion. But westeren peoples seems dont care about this. They Blame Muslims as ISLAM it self as religion of barbar and etc.

But when Muslims declare that what USA maked on killing Innocent peoples in Afghan and Iraq as TERRORIST action, western got ANGRY!

Western thinks they are always clean and what they make just want to make something Better. (Muslims dont think so).

Muslims think that : some western peoples are Dirty because they make Freesex, Drugs Consume, Alcohol Consume and Individualist, love to kill innocent peoples in the name of peace and etc.

I have a 4 year old daughter and it seems like the closer me and my boyfriend get, the farther away from my daughter he gets. He was SO good with her in the beginning of our relationship and she loves him to death but as time goes on he seems more and more uncomfortable around her. Like she goes to kiss him on the cheek and he tells her that she can't and he actually mentioned one time that he likes it when we go home after a few hours of the 3 of us. Since he said that, it made me pulll back from him 10 folds.We had just gotten a joint savings account to save for a wedding in the future and then he pulls this out. He also said that he is NOT ready to raise a kid anytime soon, but never wants to break up cuz he loves me too much. I feel like he loves me but is not taking to my daughter the way I think he should by now. Am I rushing things or do you agree? I don't need to get married today or tomorrow but he said he didn't see himself being a dad even in the next few years, but.....

I'm tired of these uninformed rejects (Sunsar Taylor & Co.)running their mouths about the Military! Hey sweetheart... you don't stand behind me and my brothers & sisters at arms??? STAND IN FRONT OF US!!!!!!! You go to Iraq or Afghanistan, leave your family and friends behind for 18 months. You wouldn't last 15 minutes outside of your cozy college!!!

I recently got into an accident when I pulled out of a sidewalk parking space, and hit another car. The damage was pretty significant. We both pulled into a smaller street, and the other person got out of the car and kept telling me that it was my fault. He was walking back to his car, and I thought he was going to get his information, but he just closed the door and drove away. I wasn't able to get his license plate number or anything. What should I do?

I won't bore you with the many reasons why he thinks his people (Jews), are the best people on Earth.

Anyway, last night he told his brother that he read a "study" on IQ levels of different races. He said african americans averaged 85, chinese 110, white europeans 115 and eastern european Jews 140.

Do you think this is legit? I can't find any of these articles online. He is also good at making outrageous claims.. such as Gov. Joe Manchin as a vice president nominee for next election.
