My roommate thinks the average jogging speed is about 9-10 km per hour, however from my observation I would say on average people run at around 12 km/h.
I don't have one of those devices to measure speed (yet), so decided to ask you guys :)

One of the richest economies (CA) in the world and for the most part we all pay taxes. Instead of pouring our resources in to other countries and appeazing rulers like Osama Ben Laden and other terrorist types I believe strongly that we need to have are elected officials work for us and not souley for their own agenda. Is it just me who is feeling this way?

I come from a long line of people with kidney/intestine/colon/rectum/ problems. This is a weird question, but, is it healthier to push your feces out or naturally let it slide out? What's better for your body and truly getting rid of your waste?

For the past six years I've had severe right upper quadrant abdominal pain...a surgeon removed my appendix five years ago and it didn't help. Besides the pain I've experienced diarreah, vomiting, nausea and severe gas. I've had three or four ultrasounds of my abdominal area and they all show up as normal. All blood tests show up as normal. My doctor thought it was my gallbladder but the latest scan came back normal. Anyone have any ideas on what it could be? I'm getting frustrated with getting no where.

You know how if you put glue on your hand or arm and you have to scratch the dry glue off, well i have dandruff thats the same way. I have had this problem for more than a decade. Sometimes around my ear(the area between the top of my ear and my head), an oily substance developes which dries and becomes the same thing thats on my head.

Can you tell me what i can use to get rid of this.

Should i use Shampoo, Conditioner, or Shampoo and Conditioner.
Also what name brand should i use.
Did it solve your problem as well assuming you had the same problem.

I have had a view people say the same thing and i was wondering if you will say the same thing they did. I would tell you what it was, but it might change what your answer was going to be.

My feet are very sensitive & hurt easily, especially when I stand for 30 min. or more. I can't possibly perform a job because my feet swell up easily. What can I do? I can't perform daily activities because of my feel hurting so much. The Dr. said my arch is OK, but everyone else says my arch may be dropping.
