Why do people take these medicines that seem to have extreme side effects? I know some medications may actually help some people, but when you are at risk to getting heart failure, cysts, possible death, etc. etc., I don't see the point in trying them in the first place. Maybe I'm wrong?

Some time ago, i bought the Meade MySky. I understand that to have it identify a star, i have to look between the two lights in the back, see the one light up front, and then position that one light under the star i want to indentify, then click. When i do this, i find that every time i point to the same star, it tells me its something different. I must be doing something wrong, but i dont know what.
Is the celestron SkyScout easier in this regard? I tried looking at their website to see a demo, and it said i need flashplayer to view the demo. I installed flashplayer twice, and then tried to watch it, and each time, all it does is tell me again that i need flashplayer to view it :-(
Please share any advice, experience,or suggestions you may have. Thank you

The other day while shoveling snow I flopped down to take a break, and noticed a circular rainbow above me.

I had never seen this before. Does anyone know why a ring-shaped rainbow would appear as opposed to an arch?

We recently puchased a frost free freezer and want to know if it will hurt anything if we unplug it when we leave for Florida for up to 4 months this winter. The freezer is in our basement and will see temperatures of about 50 to 55 degrees F.

Is it true what they think about it but it is not like that because those guys confirmed but other guys says it is and government says we do not know still people think it is and others do not know about it but the fact is that it is true still many of them want to confirm it as they are not at all sure about it as few of them still thinks it is possible but others do not agree with it..and i am not sure if it is true as far as i know it is but many of my friends says it is not and they also asked others but they do not want to comment on it as they do not wish to talk about it as others still trying to figure it out still i want to know..

So what do you think? Is it ture?
