Your questions about video games

Posted By: admin on November 7, 2011 at 6:05 am

David asks…

How do you get free video games from publishers?

I’ve noticed that certain people and blogs get video games early for free from various video game publishers. I would like to make a blog to review games. But what do I do in order to get games early from someone like Microsoft, Nintendo, or EA? Is there a place you register at?

admin answers:

there are only 2 ways to do this, they are either famous or have connections, for example with me my sister is a professional gamer and my aunt designed the game medal of honor so therefore i get a lot of video games “free” i can promise you that no company will just hand you a few new games for reviewing on a blog. in that case nothing would ever be new any joe could just ask for a game saying that he is a critic even though he is not. work your way up get people to notice you! start by reviewing games as they come out that’s when people want to know about them not before hand!

so Dr. house is right. No, for an ordinary person, i can guarantee you will find somebody with connections. in theory you know everyone in this world through six degrees of separation or less do some research on that.

Carol asks…

How does playing video games affect your heart?

I’m helping my sister write a paper for her college class. She’s doing the pros and cons of video games. We would reallllly appreciate all the information you could provide us with. The main question we need to know is how playing video games can affect your heart? Mainly how it could damage it. But we will be happy with any other information you can give :) Thank you!

admin answers:

Just search on the different factors that affect the heart rate, and blood pressure.

Much of it is due to adrenaline. When you are stimulated with a video game, it sends signals to your brain to speed up your heart and increase your blood pressure so your brain gets more blood and you become more alert for your game. Consider video games to be an emergency you have to be alert for. Fight or flight. It’s the body’s basic instinct for survival.

I’m just trying to explain it in simpler terms so you know what you’re looking for. You can get a much better explanation if you know what to search for online. Sure heart attacks can be a part of it. As the heart is stressed out by a precipitating event, (getting mad, emotional) it can suffer a heart attack too. You can pretty much make up a whole lot of things if you just search risk factors for heart disease. If you’re creative, you can link obesity, videogames and heart problems together. I can go on but I’m sure you already got the picture. :)

More pros: You can also do videogames as a sort of therapeutic pain regimen, as an effective diversion for chronic or acute pain management. It’s a totally different topic. But I find this one quite interesting because not a lot of people are aware of this. If you want more input, my husband is doing this as part of his therapy.

As a con, videogamers are apt to be lazy. They will not cook or care about their hygiene and settle for cup of noodles to stay alive. Relationships also tend to suffer as they become addicted to the videogame of choice and let everything else (job, health, family) fall apart. Think of it as an addiction, much like any substance such as alcohol, drugs and cigarettes.

Mandy asks…

How long should kids be allowed to play video games for serious addiction problem?

We’ve bought over $3650 Aust.worth of games over the past five years and my little nephew won’t give video games a break. He practically plays them from the moment he gets home until he sleeps then all weekend. We try to get him away from them as much as we can but feel as though it’s our fault because we used to play video games all of the time. He does do afternoon sports and watches a few cartoons before he goes to bed. But we’re afraid he has too much of a video game addiction. He’s only ten. Should we stop buying him games? What to do we’ve bought a wii and playstation 3 and also own and xbox and whole bunch of gamecube games. Is there anything we can do? Is it safe for kids to grow up this way?

admin answers:

My little brother is exactly like that and he started not doing homework, skipping school, faking sick, etc. to stay home and play games. He also turned into a spoiled little brat. I would suggest no games or tv until homework is done and then restricted play time for only 1-2 hours per day.

Ken asks…

What do you consider to be the best era of video games?

For me, it’s got to be about 1995-2000. The original Playstation, the Nintendo 64, and the games at that time for the Gameboy are still my most favorite games of all time. I am by no means a big video game fan, but playing games from this time period is still just so much fun to me. It’s probably because this is when I was a kid and when I was the most into video games. What do you think? What is your favorite era of video games?
BQ: What are your favorite games from your favorite time period?

admin answers:

gamecube and ps2 era
kingdom hearts, paper mario, luigis mansion, mario sunshine, Zelda Wind wakerr jak and daxter, sly cooper, ratchet and clank ahh yeah
but to be fair NES has some pretty classic games
and zelda ocarina of time and mario 64 are definitely up there
All thats out now are family oriented games from nintendo and FPS games from the other two consoles. Its all crap. Thatss why ive been relying on discovering old games and replaying the claasics over and over

Sandra asks…

How can I record video games to my mac without using a video camera?

Please do not tell me to purchase Eyetv, Eyetv only lets you use your mac as a screen for when you play video games, it does not record the game.

admin answers:

If the game you are playing is on your Mac, then you need a screen capture utility…

Some do single screen shots – which you do not want. Others end up capturing QuickTime movies of the screen – which is what you want…

http://www.pure-mac.com/screen.html

Or… if you have a game console, you will want three “y” cables… 1 for video, one for left audio, one for right audio.

Plug the “y” cables into the game console. One side goes to the TV like normal, the other side goes to a Canopus video converter

http://canopus.com/products/videoconversion.php

Then a firewire cable connects the Canopus video converter to your Mac. Launch iMovie or FinalCut and import the game play…

USB based video converters will not work.

Your questions about panic attack treatment

Posted By: admin on November 6, 2011 at 6:05 pm

Robert asks…

I got Panic Attack Disorder…i need to know natural treatment for it, please.?

I also need to know the typical signs of it.

admin answers:

KNOW WHAT TRIGGERS YOUR PANIC DISORDER IS RITICAL:

http://www.anxiety-panic-treatment.com/panic-disorder/

1. Recurrent Panic Attacks
A panic attack is a sudden and intense feeling of terror, fear or apprehension, without the presence of actual danger. The symptoms of a panic attack usually happen suddenly, peak within 10 minutes and then subside. However, some attacks may last longer or may occur in succession, making it difficult to determine when one attack ends and another begins.
Many people may experience a panic attack once, or even a few times during their lives. However, in order for a panic disorder diagnosis to be made, one must experience recurring panic attacks that are not caused by the effects of drugs, alcohol or another medical or psychological condition.

2. Persistent Worry About the Implications of Panic Attacks
Because panic attacks result in such intense physical sensations, it is not uncommon for some people to become convinced they are related to an undiagnosed and possibly life-threatening medical condition. This may mean trips to the nearest emergency room or doctor’s office and intensive testing to rule out physical disease. But, even when assured that these symptoms are not life-threatening, it may do little to put the sufferer’s mind at ease. The feelings experienced during panic attacks are so overwhelming and uncontrollable, sufferers can become convinced they are going to die, are going crazy or that some medical condition has gone undiagnosed.

3. Behavioral Changes
So frightening are the symptoms of panic disorder that you may develop behavioral changes in an effort to avoid having another panic attack. For example, this may include avoiding physical exertion because the associated breathlessness and increased heart rate mimic panic symptoms.
Agoraphobia is a common complication of panic disorder that includes an intense fear (panic response) of being in certain situations in which escape is difficult or potentially embarrassing, or where help is not readily available. Such situations may include leaving home alone, being home alone, traveling by car, train or bus, being in an elevator, being in a crowd, being in a large store or mall, being on a bridge or standing in a line.

4. Persistent Concern About Having Another Panic Attack
Because panic attacks associated with panic disorder occur suddenly and without a known cause, may people find themselves worrying about when and where the next attack will occur. The anticipation of the next attack may cause you to feel anxious and interfere with your ability to fully function in your everyday life.

Donna asks…

Panic attacks – treatment without medication?

I have had panic attacks for 14 years – always at work. I have never taken medication for them and have not told my Dr. about them. Sometimes I have one after another for an hour or more, then they subside and begin again. I try to talk myself down but I am soooo tired of them. I do yoga and meditation after work but my work days are filled with the attacks.

Telling myself that it will be OK, I’m alright, etc. does not help. I am not trusting of the Life process. Anyone have things they say to themselves or do you get up from your desk for a breather? Somtimes that helps, but he moment I am back at my desk they begin again.

admin answers:

You do not need to suffer. I suffered for years since my anxiety/panic was not diagnosed or discovered. My life is so different now……I take Lexapro……..and it has evened out my life tremendously. If things get too rough, I add a tiny bit of Klonipin. I am so grateful for these meds. As I said, you do NOT need to suffer.

James asks…

Is it characteristic of folks who are under treatment for anxiety and panic attacks to make no sense?

it just seems like this friend i know constantly makes things twisted around so never to be blamed, responsible, or at fault for something (which no one is perfect i know this). i was just wondering if confusion and just not making sense at all was common with anxiety. and if the people close to the one suffering get irritated and confused also.

admin answers:

no that’s not just cause of anxiety~that’s called peter pan syndrome~never grow up & take responsibility for anything ♦

Laura asks…

What is the most effective treatment for depression and panic attacks?

admin answers:

panic attacks can be controlled with medications (such as antidepressants) and professional counseling (such as cognitive-behavioral therapy). Successful treatment reduces the number and frequency of panic attacks, decreases the anxiety that accompanies the fear of future attacks, and improves the quality of your life.The most common treatment for depression includes the combination of antidepressant medicine and psychotherapy (called “therapy” for short, or “counseling”).

Richard asks…

Can anyone advise therapy or treatment for panic attacks?

admin answers:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
meditation
healthy diet
exercise
yoga
Klonopin

Your questions about health article

Posted By: admin on November 6, 2011 at 5:05 am

Sharon asks…

can someone help me find a good health article for my health class?

i have to write a 50 word summary about a health article but i dont really understand wat i need to do anyone help me please 10 POINTSS

admin answers:

Your teacher wants you to find a magazine article dealing with a health issue. Read the article, and then write a synopsis of the article.

Go to your local library. Look for magazines such as Men’s Health, Woman’s Health, or Prevention. If you have trouble finding an interesting article, ask the reference librarian.

Susan asks…

Where can I find a Health Article that is about a page and half long to two pages long?

I need one for a class. It can be about ANYTHING in health, but I would prefer it not to be sexual because that might be a little weird. XD

admin answers:

Online… Just search health article and boom you got like 1000000 from google.

James asks…

How to publish an Article in the Yahoo health section?

I want to know the process of submitting Article in Yahoo Health section.

admin answers:

you can’t,

Sandy asks…

Can someone give me a good health article??

can someone please email me a good health article
i would really appreciate.

admin answers:

Question is very broad. Try WebMD???

Maria asks…

how do you feel about the article (Health Reform Can Pay for Itself by Timothy Noah) on realclearpolitics.com?

After reading this article how do you feel about it? How did you feel before it and has this article changed your mind on the way you felt? Can you think of any other ways that the Health Reform is going to pay for itself?
No i have to write a paper on how i feel and include in it how other people feel about it. So sorta but not really. Asking other people is apart of the assignment.

admin answers:

I would say it is nonsense, just by the title alone. It is SOP, when asking to spend more gov’t money, to tell people it is cheaper in the long run. You will hear this repeated over and over again when you ask elected officials why they spent XXX on project YYY.

Your questions about full text article

Posted By: admin on November 6, 2011 at 5:05 am

Joseph asks…

Can you send a full internet article via text message/ via email to someone’s cell phone?

admin answers:

Text messages, also known as sms messages, have a 160 character limit.

A lot of sentences have more that 160 characters, so to send anything like a full article would probably take way too many messages.

Steven asks…

Want to use RSS and get full text articles, not just summaries.?

I’m new to RSS, but I sorta like what I see so far. I’ve tried several different aggregators, but I haven’t found one yet that will pull down the full text of the articles. The ones I’ve used (Yahoo, Google, etc.) only pull back headlines and short summaries of the articles.

I don’t want to click a link to take me to the site to have to read the article. I want the full text of the entire article downloaded in the feed. Otherwise, I’ll just bookmark the site and visit it.

A few questions. Is this just the way it is with RSS? If so, so be it. Is it a choice of the article author to allow full-text or summaries for the article feeds? Or have I just not found the right RSS reader?

What brought all this on is that the domain for the site whose articles I want to read is blocked at work. I want a tool (RSS reader or anything) that will pull in that site’s content so I can read it without any problems.

I appreciate any advice.

admin answers:

Depends. RSS can be used in that way. It’s the choice of the
author. Reader might be an issue. But if you use one that
can read the summary you either have it or don’t. There’s
no other field that would contain the rest.

If the site in question is blocked it’s unlikely that the feed will
work. It’s really only an xml document that’s usually always
hosted in the same place as the domain. So if you can’t read
www.domain.com it’s unlikely that you can read it’s RSS feed.

Ken asks…

Can anyone tell me where I can find the full text of this?

Can anyone tell me where I can find the full text of this article Giancola, P.R. (2004). Executive functioning and alcohol-related aggression. Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 113, 541–555.

admin answers:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2750093/ ???

William asks…

I am doing a research paper on wicca and I need a full text magazine article on wicca good or bad.?

admin answers:

I’m not sure what you mean by “good or bad.”

If you are looking for Wiccan & Pagan magazines, some of the popular ones are:

Sage Woman – www.sagewoman.com
PanGaia – www.pangaia.com
Circle Network News – www.circlesanctuary.org/circle
Green Egg (now defunct, but you might be able to get some back issues if you write CAW) – www.caw.org/greenegg
Beltane Papers – www.thebeltanepapers.net

If you are looking for articles in traditional news media which discuss Wicca, you’ll be best off going to your local library and searching their microfiche. Most major news organizations do some type of Wicca story around Halloween. So that’s your hint for the day.

David asks…

Any free online databases which offer full-text journal articles?

I’m doing research with a former professor of mine, but im in transit between two universities. Im not able to access my old university’s online database since im not a student there anymore, from which i could get full-text article…but i also cant access my new university’s database because apparently i’m not yet fully registered.
I need to get some full-text articles…and most on google scholar are just abstracts. I need help: anyone know of any free databases that also have full-text? (eg. like Academic Search Premier???)
Thanks

admin answers:

If you have not done so already, ask your former professor to make special arrangements for you to access the data you need through the old university. The professor wants you to get the work done and should be motivated.

Your questions about solar pool covers

Posted By: admin on November 5, 2011 at 5:05 pm

Ruth asks…

Transparent plastic swimming-pool covers called solar heat sheets have thousands of small air-filled bubbles t?

Transparent plastic swimming-pool covers called solar heat sheets have thousands of small air-filled bubbles that resemble lenses.

The bubbles in these sheets are advertised to focus heat from the sun into the water, thereby raising its temperature.

Do you think these bublles direct more solar energy into the water? Defend your answer.

admin answers:

The bubbles will act as insulators being air filled – but focusing the light like a lens is not going to increase the toatl amount of energy entering the water – (they will only increase localised heating)

Robert asks…

Can I buy enough bubble wrap to make my own solar pool cover?

The price of a solar cover is ridiculous, the size of my pool is 20′x40′ (800 sq. ft.). Can I buy an instrial roll of bubble wrap and stitch my own cover together?

admin answers:

Novel idea!

Don’t know how economical it would be or how you’d attach it, but the three links below are all bubble wrap sellers.

Second link says they wholesale to all as does the forth.

Good luck!

Ken asks…

anyone know where i can buy a paddling pool solar cover?

i bought a pool for the garden for 6 wks school hols. there was no heater with it, anyone know the cheapest place to buy one? or i,m told a solar pool cover warms the water? but don,t know where to look. any help? thank you.the heaters i,v seen are dearer than the pool cost, its a 12 ft one.

admin answers:

Any type of heater or solar cover is going to be much more expensive than what the pool cost. Hope for very warm days !!

Joseph asks…

Pool Solar Covers / Reels / and Hot Boxes???

I moved into a house with a 24 foot above ground pool. I just purchased a solar cover and hate taking the thing off on and off every time I want to use it. I do have a reel but would need to purchase the strap kit to attach it to the cover. I worry about this because 24 feet is long distance to extend the reel…I will really bend with the cover wrapped around it.

My other thought was to cut the cover in half and only have to put one side on at a time. What are your thoughts on removal of the cover?

Finally, he former owner used heavy hose attached to the filter and ran it throught the gutters of his roof. The water filtered through the hose, which was being heated by the sun, and back into the pool. Is this bad for the pump…because it would have to pump the water through all those tubes. I think it works like a hotbox? Any thoughts on this?

If you have the time to respond to this….I really appreciate it. Thank you.

Eric

admin answers:

My parents have a 24′ above ground pool, I am the one who set it up and cared for it for about 4 years. The solar cover we had the same problem my mother had a hard time rolling it up it was heavy, just not for her. A couple of years ago we dragged home approx. 300 feet of black hose. we attached the hose as it came out of the filter and ran it up on the roof of the house, the other end of the hose went back into the retun line. we put valves on the hose to regulate the amout of water and to be able to turn it off at night when it was cool outside. This process works very well, this summer when we opened the pool the water was around 64 degrees the first day, within a week the water was around 90 degrees. The pump has been working fine and I believe it puts no extra stress on it. The pool is warm and it works very well. hope this helps, any other questions email me at jessejo69@yahoo.com

Lizzie asks…

Do pool solar covers really work?

Do solar covers really work? We have an in ground pool and after weekend storms the water has gotten very cold. We have a solar cover, but never used it. Do these really work? And, if so, how many degrees can it raise the water tempature?

admin answers:

We have a huge pool and have always used a solar cover. I think they work. We put it on after or pool use and take it off when the sun is out. after storms, we’ve swam and never once did the kids complain about it being too cold. the heat is staying in and when not in use, the sun is beating down on the cover to keep the water warm. it doesn’t raise it too high, maybe 2-5 degrees more but remember, it’s keeping the heat is so when you use it again, the water is warm, not cold like most pools after a storm or cooler weather. you have to try it. it’s the only way you’ll learn the difference between a solar cover and not covering it at all.

Your questions about solar energy

Posted By: admin on November 5, 2011 at 5:05 pm

Thomas asks…

Why is everyone so into solar energy and wind energy? When nuclear energy is so much more powerful?

We all know how much more powerful nuclear energy is. I don’t get it, is it a fad? Solar and Wind energy is a waste of land and ineffective. Yea the technology is probably going to improve, but so is nuclear technology. I don’t know much about this stuff, this is simply my assumption.

admin answers:

Wind and solar are closer to the source and SAFER!!!

Solar corresponds well to high demand during the daytime

Carol asks…

How is solar energy harnessed for human benefit?

Please help w/ these questions..And provide Sources/References !

- Type of energy transformations that take place in harnessing the solar energy.
- efficiency of the (solar) energy transformations
- The amount of energy obtained from solar energy?

Thank you !

admin answers:

I saw a link to Earth4Energy above. Earth4Energy is a scam, so beware. I wrote it up in my hall of shame at http://www.nlcpr.com/Deceptions6.html

The two common collection methods are photoelectric cells (solar cells) that make electricity, and solar heat collectors. Heat collectors are usually either the flat plate variety, or evacuated tube collectors. Wikipedia is a good place to read about how solar cells work. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_effect

I have a few pictures posted at http://www.nlcpr.com/SolarInsolation.html that you will find interesting. The houses are from the Solar Decathlon at Washington DC.

The amount of energy is dependent on where you are on Earth and the time of year. Most governments publish solar insolation maps you can use. I will post links below. For Canada use the link for natural resources Canada. For the USA use NREL (National Renewable Energy Lab). NASA has maps that cover the entire Earth. If you know the annual solar energy per square meter in your area, you can multiply it by the efficiency of the collector to get a feel for how much energy you can extract.

The efficiency of a evacuated tube collector is complex to calculate, but you can get practical equations from Institute SPF – they are European and respected. SPF tests both flat plate and evacuated tube models. I have a graph on my web site that shows the efficiency of Apricus brand tubes. Efficiency will likely be somewhere around 50%. If course, it depends on how cold it is outside. There is also space between each tube, so be careful with the math.

So, in summary: Get the total amount of energy from a solar insolation map (NASA, NREL or NRC). Get solar collector (heat) efficiencies from Institute SPF. Get the solar panel efficiencies from a reputable manufacturer like BP (British Petroleum). Use Wikipedia for links to the theory.

Wind energy is indirect solar energy if you want to enlarge the scope of your studies.

If you need a specific resource, use the contact form on my web site and if I can find what you need, I will post it on my links page for everyone.

Have fun with your project/assignment.

Nancy asks…

How to calculate how much energy converted from Solar Energy to Electricity?

How can I calculate how much energy converted from Solar Energy to Electricity? Does it based on the how strong of the sunlight? Does it based on how many solar cell? Any detail equations for this purpose?

admin answers:

Taken from wiki:

“At solar noon on a clear March or September equinox day, the solar radiation at the equator is about 1000 W/m2. Hence, the “standard” solar radiation (known as the “air mass 1.5 spectrum”) has a power density of 1000 watts per square meter. Thus, a 12% efficiency solar cell having 1 m² of surface area in full sunlight at solar noon at the equator during either the March or September equinox will produce approximately 120 watts of peak power.”

I came accross a new, proven and tested home made wind power system and solar power system which eliminates our electricity bills. It was written by a Renewable energy enthusiasts Michael Harvey the diy called Earth4energy. You can get your copy to save energy and help environment while eliminating your power bills. Get it from here:

http://How-To-Build-Cheap-Solar-Energy.info

Jenny asks…

What other types of energy can solar energy be converted into?

Besides thermal and electrical energy, what can solar energy be converted into? Please post your reference if you have one.

admin answers:

Energy from the sun comes in the form of heat and light. Plants convert light into biological energy through photosynthesis.

Photovoltaic cells and panels convert light to electric current. Heat from the sun can also be converted into mechanical and electrical energy by focusing the heat on a steam generator to run a steam engine or hot air engine.

Mechanical energy can be further converted into electricity, and electricity can be converted into mechanical or chemical energy.

You can easily develop your own bibliography on this topic. The internet is slam full of information uses for solar energy.

Paul asks…

How efficiently do plants use solar energy when compared to solar panels?

How does the amount of chemical energy stored in plants compare to the electrical energy stored by solar panel/batteries?

admin answers:

Most plants are around 1% efficient at turning sunlight into a useful form of energy it can use. Bamboo is probably somewhat higher. Solar panels are somewhere around 20% efficient now I think. Trees are much cheaper to use for collecting solar energy if you have the land area though.

Your questions about platonic relationship

Posted By: admin on November 5, 2011 at 5:05 am

Lisa asks…

What is the view on extra marital platonic relationship that does not affect the existing marriage at all?

I am married for 22 years, enthusaistic in life and interested in sports. The last 14 years, my life revolved around my son and he is ready to go to college. There is a big vacuum in my life, however, I see this as an opportunity to see the world, pursue music and social life.

However, my wife is not interested in any of this and she wants me to spend most of my leisure time with her. Whilst it is reasonable to spend half the free time with her, I am finding it extremely dificult to spend all the time with her. She does not have many friends nor involving hobbies .

She throws all the tantrums. To please her I do a lot of house chores. Out of sympathy, if I do something for her, she makes it a habit and insists on long term continuation.

The sex life sucks.

I am always made to feel guilty and she exploits this to the full.

I am tempted to seek a platonic relationship outside of this whislt continuing to be dutiful husband.

I need help to manage these emotions

admin answers:

If your wife wants you to spend all of your time with her, any kind of relationship, platonic or not, will affect the marriage.

By the way, platonic relationships are usually called friendships – I presume that this is what you meant, a buddy, female by your “extramarital” reference, to share interests with. Nothing wrong with it – most couples have at least some outside interests that are not shared, and spend time away from each other experiencing them with others (poker night and football games for example).

However, it sounds like the differing interests are only a part of the problem… you listed a whole lot of other ones… but there must be something good if you stuck around for 22 years (power to you, by the way, you are beating averages hands down).

When was the last time you two talked? Really talked – have you ever told her how you feel about the time spent together, sex life and else, in a way you would talk to a cherished friend, not someone you have to live with because you married them? Was she always like that? If not, where did the girl you fell in love with go, and why; and more importantly, can you two bring her back?

I’d suggest to do some maintenance couples counseling, as a safe space to air out all the problems. If you just grow more apart, it’s likely that your wife would sense this as a rejection – I can imagine this making her behave even more in the way you dislike, as she tries to fix or control the situation in the only way she knows.

People in long term relationships sometimes stop communicating and start taking each other for granted. It’s easy to get into set habits, and to reinforce each other weaknesses as well as the strengths (was married for 11 years, now divorced- that’s part of what happened).

For example, the more independent “caretaker/protector” party can match with the more “clinging/dependent” one – both get something that they need out of it; but if the roles lose any flexibility it can be hard to get out of the worn-in track when the situation changes and there’s need for readressing the identities.

A good couples counselor can help with emotion management – both yours and your wife’s, and could help you express to your wife your need for healthy independence, in a non-threatening way she can hear. Just doing “your thing” on one side and “doing time” with your wife will leave at least half of both of your lives less than happy. Hope you try for the whole thing :-) .

Betty asks…

Whats the difference between a platonic relationship and friends with benefits?

which one is easier to transition into a real relationship?

admin answers:

A platonic relationship is one where a boy and a girl are just friends. Friends with benefits actually do romantic things (kiss, hook up, sex, etc).

I’d say both are equally hard to transition.

David asks…

Is there such a thing as a platonic relationship?

I’m leaning towards no. Because even if two people are the best of friends and they stay that way forever there will still be an undercurrent of sexual tension.

Now no one may ever know about this tension but I’m 99.9% that in every relationship at least either the dude or the girl would sleep with the other. It doesn’t require both.

Someone always wants more then it actually offers, such is human nature.

admin answers:

I agree!

Jenny asks…

How physical is it ok to get in a platonic relationship?

Just curious on opinions. For example, if you have a long time friend of the opposite sex is it ok for them to sit in your lap or share a chair with you during a movie night? How close do you think it’s ok to be with your best friends?
I know that there’s nothing actually wrong with it if you don’t have feelings for each other, but lets say you have a boyfriend or girlfriend? If they woulnd’t understand it or be ok with it then should you be doing it? If you wouldn’t want your girlfriend sitting on some guys lap should you have a girl sitting on yours? I’m extremely laid back and wouldn’t have a problem, but a lot of people seem more uptight about it.

admin answers:

Well, Me and my friends do that all of the time. As long as you don’t start to get feelings for each other and you guys don’t do anything that could ruin the relationship.

Maria asks…

How do I handle a platonic relationship with the opposite sex?

My best friend in the entire world is a guy. My husband does not like the situation. Our relationship is completely platonic but my husband does not accept that. I cannot lose either one. What do I do?

admin answers:

maybe your husband has sensed something that you havent… you could try calming things down with your best friend for a while…e.g., not talking that much. or not rubbing it in your husband’s face. you can’t really expect him to totally accept your friendship until your best friend also has a partner he’s steady with

Your questions about platonic relationship

Posted By: admin on November 5, 2011 at 5:05 am

Paul asks…

What is the view on extra marital platonic relationship that does not affect the existing marriage at all?

I am married for 22 years, enthusaistic in life and interested in sports. The last 14 years, my life revolved around my son and he is ready to go to college. There is a big vacuum in my life, however, I see this as an opportunity to see the world, pursue music and social life.

However, my wife is not interested in any of this and she wants me to spend most of my leisure time with her. Whilst it is reasonable to spend half the free time with her, I am finding it extremely dificult to spend all the time with her. She does not have many friends nor involving hobbies .

She throws all the tantrums. To please her I do a lot of house chores. Out of sympathy, if I do something for her, she makes it a habit and insists on long term continuation.

The sex life sucks.

I am always made to feel guilty and she exploits this to the full.

I am tempted to seek a platonic relationship outside of this whislt continuing to be dutiful husband.

I need help to manage these emotions

admin answers:

If your wife wants you to spend all of your time with her, any kind of relationship, platonic or not, will affect the marriage.

By the way, platonic relationships are usually called friendships – I presume that this is what you meant, a buddy, female by your “extramarital” reference, to share interests with. Nothing wrong with it – most couples have at least some outside interests that are not shared, and spend time away from each other experiencing them with others (poker night and football games for example).

However, it sounds like the differing interests are only a part of the problem… you listed a whole lot of other ones… but there must be something good if you stuck around for 22 years (power to you, by the way, you are beating averages hands down).

When was the last time you two talked? Really talked – have you ever told her how you feel about the time spent together, sex life and else, in a way you would talk to a cherished friend, not someone you have to live with because you married them? Was she always like that? If not, where did the girl you fell in love with go, and why; and more importantly, can you two bring her back?

I’d suggest to do some maintenance couples counseling, as a safe space to air out all the problems. If you just grow more apart, it’s likely that your wife would sense this as a rejection – I can imagine this making her behave even more in the way you dislike, as she tries to fix or control the situation in the only way she knows.

People in long term relationships sometimes stop communicating and start taking each other for granted. It’s easy to get into set habits, and to reinforce each other weaknesses as well as the strengths (was married for 11 years, now divorced- that’s part of what happened).

For example, the more independent “caretaker/protector” party can match with the more “clinging/dependent” one – both get something that they need out of it; but if the roles lose any flexibility it can be hard to get out of the worn-in track when the situation changes and there’s need for readressing the identities.

A good couples counselor can help with emotion management – both yours and your wife’s, and could help you express to your wife your need for healthy independence, in a non-threatening way she can hear. Just doing “your thing” on one side and “doing time” with your wife will leave at least half of both of your lives less than happy. Hope you try for the whole thing :-) .

David asks…

Whats the difference between a platonic relationship and friends with benefits?

which one is easier to transition into a real relationship?

admin answers:

A platonic relationship is one where a boy and a girl are just friends. Friends with benefits actually do romantic things (kiss, hook up, sex, etc).

I’d say both are equally hard to transition.

Chris asks…

Your questions about get directions

Posted By: admin on November 4, 2011 at 5:05 pm

Steven asks…

How would I get driving directions in the middle east?

I need directions in Israel specifically. From Jerusalem to Safed.
Is there a site to go to.

admin answers:

There should be no problem finding your way around Isreal, all the streets are well marked in English, People are helpful. It is best to use e-map or any other map site.

Lisa asks…

Where can I get the driving directions to the Springer Correctional Center in Springer,NM?

I want to visit my brother. I went to maoquest and the state websitem but they didn’t provide directions. Thanks all.

admin answers:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=

Sandy asks…

Why do my eyebrows grow in crazy directions in the center of my eyes?

This is where a unibrow would start to form. I use a tweeezer to get rid of the middle, but some have grown back and grow wild (crazy directions, longer, thicker). I don’t touch them cause I don’t want things to be uneven. Can I just trim them or get an electric eyebrow trimmer?

admin answers:

eveynite for a few weeks put castro oil on them before bed and kinda massege them in the direction u want them to gorw…and it will change the position of the hair root

Mary asks…

How can I get good biking directions online?

I was wondering say I want to go from on place to another in the city. By car driving directions, you would have to pass bridges and high ways where bikes are not allowed. How can one get directions to go from one location to another with biking directions?

admin answers:

if you are in a country not covered by mapquest, try maps.google.com and select directions to be “walking” rather than “by car”. It will take highway speeds out of the the algorithm to find the best route, although it will still only account for road directions mostly (ie. dedicated bike/walking paths may not be included).

Mark asks…

What is a good map website for directions and construction information?

I do alot of traveling and get hung up in a lot of construction. I am currently looking for a website that will not only provide driving directions, but would also give me the construction information I need to get to my desination the quickest way possible. I have tried mapquest, yahoo, and google and they are not what I am looking for.

admin answers:

I have found a website that has worked quite well for me. You can get driving directions with construction information along your route. The website that I go to is http://www.mapetc.com They appear to be fairly new but their construction information that I have used is pretty accurate. Good Luck

Your questions about world of warcraft power leveling

Posted By: admin on November 4, 2011 at 5:05 am

Mary asks…

Where can i buy some World of Warcraft power leveling service?

admin answers:

Rather than paying someone, I suggest joining a good guild – many guild members are willing to help you, as your higher level will be very useful to the guild. You can find a rather enjoyable experience this way, learn a lot, and help each other.

You may need to take a little more time, but the experience is worth it, as you’ll be a better player. Power leveling without learning the intricacies of actual play can actually make it more difficult for you – you don’t learn as many tips-and-tricks on the ‘how-to’ aspect of the game.

Good luck.

Thomas asks…

What’s the cheapest, safest, World of Warcraft Power Leveling Service?

Any ideas?

I don’t want to get banned for robot use.

admin answers:

Powerleveling (paying somebody to level your character) is against Blizzards TOS. They have gotten very good at catching this and will ban your account. Not only would this cause you not to be able to access any character on the account, but it would also waste the money you had spent.

If for some reason Blizzard doesnt catch you, the powerleveling company could outright steal your account or hack it at a later time. The sites that facilitate this sort of thing are often loaded with keyloggers so even just visiting them could have negative results. No powerleveling company is safe.

If you value your account, I would refrain from this activity.

Paul asks…

World Of Warcraft Power leveling Guide?

Hey, I saw that there was a guide to get from 1-70 in something like 5 playing days. But it costs. My friend somehow got a free version but lost it. Does anyone know a good FREE Leveling guide.

admin answers:

Jame’s levelling guide is the best there is, it’s even better than paid ones.

Alliance: http://www.wow-pro.com/node/599
Horde: http://www.wow-pro.com/node/754

Goes all the way from lvl 1 to lvl 80. Use this if you want to get the lowest played time and are hardcore. If you want to take it easy but still get a reasonably fast levelling time (I got to lvl 70 in 4 days 20 hours played) just use QuestHelper:

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/quest-helper.aspx

P.S. Be careful of some of the links you click on these forums as they may try and steal your password etc. You should be okay if you use Firefox though.

Lizzie asks…

Robert asks…

Is world of warcraft power leveling safe?

I was considering it since I wanted to get back into the game, after about 18 months ago I gave away my level 67 hunter. Do you guys know any safe, cheap sites that have good lvl 1-70 power leveling?

I was thinking http://www.mygamesale.com/power-leveling/payment/checkout.jsp

admin answers:

Don’t do it. Too many horror stories. Take your time and play the game like it was intended – you’ll know more about your class, your professions, and you’ll get to say “I did that,” not some guy who doesn’t speak English.

Your questions about starcraft 2 trailer

Posted By: admin on November 3, 2011 at 5:05 pm

Thomas asks…

where is my Starcraft 2?

i swear i seen the trailers on youtube over two years ago and on the blizzard site but since then i no longer hear any news of it when will it be out

admin answers:

I don’t know where *your* SC2 is…but Blizzard’s is still in production.

The *original* release date was Summer 2008, but they couldn’t code the Zerg right. They announced early Q2? that they had to puch the date, and that they were going to try for Fall 2008. That fell through when they couldn’t ballance the three sides correctly, and were still unable to merge the Zerg (from what I read/heard).
They then announced a release date for Summer 2009, but that again fell through. When they pushed the date, they announced they were going to expand the game and break it up into segments/chapters. First would be the Humans, for release in Q1 2010. The next release would be the Protoss about 6 months later, and (hopefully) the Zerg 6 months after that.

So…trust me, you’re not the only one waiting for it, although there are a lot of StarCraft players planning to boycott SC2 because of the lack of LAN support (all multiplayer games will require you use Blizzard’s Match Making Service).

Good Luck!

Donald asks…

How much is my boat worth????

Michael asks…

Do u know what Starcraft is?

1) a trailer attached to a boat thing

2) a martha stewart botanical project

3) an astronomy thing

4) a video game

5) a police blotter

admin answers:

I played it to death, it gets repetitive after a while

Ruth asks…

People who know a lot about computers or starcraft please help!!!?

Ok. So today i bought starcraft 1 to keep me entertained until sc2 came out in a few weeks. I went Home very happy with my new (lol) game and a reciept with a $10 deposit for sc2. When my dad got back i told him and he just went “grunt”. Lol. So i was wondering what the system requirements were. Minimum system requirements were much better than what my winws xp laptop had. My laptop cost around $250>$300. Im not sure it was a christmas present. Anyway. I found out i couldnt play it and had a little fit. I need play it sooooo bad. My laptop nor my dads computer could run it because we havent got state of the art blizzard s*h*i*t. I dont see why they had to do such high standard sys req. I really want to play sc2 after seeing trailers and beta gameplays. Graphics are amazing and so is gameplay. I live in australia by the way. Can anybody recommend a chepish computer(preferably laptop) that could run sc2 smoothly? I mean anything that can run that can run anything right? But hen if i gt some super expensive laptop i will feel sort of guilty for having 2 laptops and only using 1. Please HELP!!!!

admin answers:

Honestly Even my 800$ computer cannot rune SC2 (I was chosen for beta couldnt even play it)
For 800$ i got a piece of crap hp. Crappy or games but great for Surfing and all. Your laptop would never fit the requirments unless you modded it out in all aspects which would be pricey, Much so of buying a new laptop (I have tried). Anyways their might not be an cheap laptops that i know of that could even run so much as Soldier Front (Very low sys req’s) + Startcraft 1 does not have very high requirements at all seeing to it as i could play it on my ancient desktop smoothly. I only see to it as 1 solution being either Mod your laptop or get a new computer which both come out to definately be more than 300$. This is because 4 gig RAM (i recently have purchased) cost around 113$ on a good site. A processor (which is important) can cost around 200+$ for a Crappy through Decent one. and one more which is probably the most important is the Graphics Card a good one can go from 250+$ depending what you want. SO when you add it all up it doesnt benefit you in the longrun because you putting all of this new stuff into an older product which had been used space has been taken up and many other factorsm (Most importantly things might not be compatible) So yeah id recommend a new computer to be honest. Good Luck man hope this helps.

P.S. You did not specify your system spec’s so i couldnt really be much help on that part.

John asks…

Can i run starcraft 2 with an ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 Series video card?

I know starcraft 2 hasn’t come out yet but from looking at the trailers, pictures and battle reports do you think an ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Series video card could handle starcraft 2? I have 512mb RAM too but as soon as starcraft 2 comes out I’m going to buy a 1gb RAM chip for 1.5gb in total. If i figure out my video card can’t handle the game i’m probably just going to get a new computer because I don’t want to go through the hassle of buying and installing a new video card.

admin answers:

short answer yes…

long answer, no

its probubly going to work, the problem is it wont work well, not at all, your going to want to upgrade

Your questions about anxiety medication

Posted By: admin on November 3, 2011 at 5:05 am

Carol asks…

Is there a natural anxiety medication for pregnant women that will not harm the fetus?

I am 24 for and just found out that I am about six weeks pregnant and I have been on anxiety medication for years. Is there any safe herbal or prescription medication I can take because I have sever anxiety and Panic attacks. I stopped my medications and need to find a safer medication to take until my child is born.

admin answers:

Have your doctor wean you off gradually or you can suffer severe emotional crashing. He can tell you what to do next.

All the B vitamins help with stress. Maybe you can start walking every day. Maybe for ten minutes to start and then build up to a good half hour. You can get hooked on walking with no harmful effects if you have a normal pregnancy.

You don’t have to go to extremes, you have time to regulate your body. You don’t have to apologize for being on medicine for panic attacks. The good far outweighs the bad.

Good luck, God Bless you. Get ready for your little one.

Lizzie asks…

Can anxiety medication change your blood work?

I forgot to tell the person who took my blood work that the night before I took some anxiety medication. I got my blood work the next morning. The medication is called Atarax. That night my heart was also beating really fast is it going to interfere with the results? I got a full blood count and allergy tests.

Thank you very much

admin answers:

not as i know off my mates as it and it dont change hers

Steven asks…

How long do I have to keep taking anxiety medication until it goes away?

I’ve been taking anxiety medication for 3 years now and I wanted to know if my anxiety will ever go away. Everytime I try to stop taking it I get very anxious causing me to seem socially akward but on it I’m just fine. I’m just tired of letting a little white pill dictate my life.

admin answers:

you cant just stop those types of meds, if you truly want to be off of them, you have to gradually reduce the dose and frequency under the control of your doctor.
you may be experiencing tolerance to a drug which is different from addicition, meaning you need higher doses to get the same result.
Unfortunatley, some anxiety issues require lifetime medication. Panic disorder especially. some are easier to get off than others.
my personal and profesional opinion is that if it works, keep taking it.
you can work with your healthcare professional on behavior modification in the attempts to reduce and eventually get off the med.
good luck and take care

Richard asks…

What is the most commonly prescribed Antidepressant/anxiety medication?

How severe does the anxiety/depression have to be for a doctor to prescribe CELEXA ? And what is the most common medication prescribed for anxiety/depression?

admin answers:

Well, generally SSRI’s are the most prescirebed antidepressants and celexa (citalopram) is one of them. If someone diagnosed with depression (no matter how severe it is) doctors can give him/her celexa. If its too severe they can increase the dosage or add a new antidepressant to the treatment (combined treatment)

John asks…

Is there an anti-anxiety medication that you can take but still drink alcohol without horrible side effects?

I know it’s a horrible idea to mix alcohol and any medication, especially anti-anxiety meds and anti-depressants. I also know that everyone is different and people react differently. But I was just wondering if you know of any anti-anxiety meds/anti depressants that are not as horrible to mix with alcohol.

admin answers:

Not sure, and not worth the risk. Have you tried any cognitive behavior therapy? It’s much more effective and long lasting at getting rid of depression and anxiety than medications, which just suppress the problem rather than getting to the root. Listen, if you are feeling anxiety or depression, you should realize that it’s a blessing in disguise, that can allow you to become mentally stronger than you ever thought you could. I know this first hand. Look up some books by David Burns, they have really helped me. Read “When Panic Attacks.” I really wish you the best of luck.

Your questions about anxiety medication

Posted By: admin on November 3, 2011 at 5:05 am

John asks…

Is there a natural anxiety medication for pregnant women that will not harm the fetus?

I am 24 for and just found out that I am about six weeks pregnant and I have been on anxiety medication for years. Is there any safe herbal or prescription medication I can take because I have sever anxiety and Panic attacks. I stopped my medications and need to find a safer medication to take until my child is born.

admin answers:

Have your doctor wean you off gradually or you can suffer severe emotional crashing. He can tell you what to do next.

All the B vitamins help with stress. Maybe you can start walking every day. Maybe for ten minutes to start and then build up to a good half hour. You can get hooked on walking with no harmful effects if you have a normal pregnancy.

You don’t have to go to extremes, you have time to regulate your body. You don’t have to apologize for being on medicine for panic attacks. The good far outweighs the bad.

Good luck, God Bless you. Get ready for your little one.

Michael asks…

Can anxiety medication change your blood work?

I forgot to tell the person who took my blood work that the night before I took some anxiety medication. I got my blood work the next morning. The medication is called Atarax. That night my heart was also beating really fast is it going to interfere with the results? I got a full blood count and allergy tests.

Thank you very much

admin answers:

not as i know off my mates as it and it dont change hers

Mandy asks…

How long do I have to keep taking anxiety medication until it goes away?

I’ve been taking anxiety medication for 3 years now and I wanted to know if my anxiety will ever go away. Everytime I try to stop taking it I get very anxious causing me to seem socially akward but on it I’m just fine. I’m just tired of letting a little white pill dictate my life.

admin answers:

you cant just stop those types of meds, if you truly want to be off of them, you have to gradually reduce the dose and frequency under the control of your doctor.
you may be experiencing tolerance to a drug which is different from addicition, meaning you need higher doses to get the same result.
Unfortunatley, some anxiety issues require lifetime medication. Panic disorder especially. some are easier to get off than others.
my personal and profesional opinion is that if it works, keep taking it.
you can work with your healthcare professional on behavior modification in the attempts to reduce and eventually get off the med.
good luck and take care

Richard asks…

What is the most commonly prescribed Antidepressant/anxiety medication?

How severe does the anxiety/depression have to be for a doctor to prescribe CELEXA ? And what is the most common medication prescribed for anxiety/depression?

admin answers:

Well, generally SSRI’s are the most prescirebed antidepressants and celexa (citalopram) is one of them. If someone diagnosed with depression (no matter how severe it is) doctors can give him/her celexa. If its too severe they can increase the dosage or add a new antidepressant to the treatment (combined treatment)

Laura asks…

Is there an anti-anxiety medication that you can take but still drink alcohol without horrible side effects?

I know it’s a horrible idea to mix alcohol and any medication, especially anti-anxiety meds and anti-depressants. I also know that everyone is different and people react differently. But I was just wondering if you know of any anti-anxiety meds/anti depressants that are not as horrible to mix with alcohol.

admin answers:

Not sure, and not worth the risk. Have you tried any cognitive behavior therapy? It’s much more effective and long lasting at getting rid of depression and anxiety than medications, which just suppress the problem rather than getting to the root. Listen, if you are feeling anxiety or depression, you should realize that it’s a blessing in disguise, that can allow you to become mentally stronger than you ever thought you could.

Your questions about project gutenberg ebook

Posted By: admin on November 2, 2011 at 5:05 pm

Ken asks…

i want to download a book.?

i want to download the Dune series by frank herbert. and pretty muchly any other book. if you find a free ebook site i would be so thrilled. project gutenberg is a site dedicated to older books. ive read all of the sherlock holmes and im not particularly interested in any other boo0ks from that time so if you have a link for any other site i would be thrilled.

admin answers:

I have been searching for ages for that same series, and I havent been able to find them. I have managed to get a few through P2P networks, but that is all, I am not sure if they are even available in any site since they are under copyright, most sites do not let you download books under copyright, but usually P2P manages to get them… You might wanna try limewire, it’s usually very good.

Charles asks…

If you could count Podiobooks.com & LibriVox free downloads as sales would mp3 audio books outsell book onCDs?

not that I am doubting Amazon’s claim or am of the person opinion that if not for Project Gutenberg few people would be willing to shell out the big bucks for ebook readers

admin answers:

I’m not sure but maybe, as LibriVox is the most prolific producer of audiobooks. There are currently 4,205 books in the LibriVox catalogue and countless thousands of downloads have been made.

According to Wikipedia: “Tending to produce between 60 and 100 audiobooks per month, LibriVox claims to be the world’s most prolific audiobook publisher.”

I don’t think the professional audiobook makers can produce audiobooks that quickly. The exact number of downloads couldn’t be known with absolute certainty, as some LibriVox audiobooks are hosted on multiple sites and have been sold as mp3 cds on ebay as well. But some estimates could perhaps be made based on the download counters on Internet Archive.

Donald asks…

I want to sell e-books…?

I have a bunch of e-books obtained from project gutenberg and other places. I want to sell them on ebay. What is the complete procedure to sell them?? As other people who sell ebooks display a notice saying ‘This ebook is in public domain’ etc. whats that?? What is a public domain??
Is it ok to sell them as it is…??!!
Thanx!

admin answers:

No it is not all right. You are probably going to violate someone’s copyright on the material which you are effectively stealing. What right have you to sell gutenberg material, which is provided to the world for free on their site ? Just becuase other people do it does not make it right, and these thieves should be hunted down and punished to the full extent of the law. Also eBay should have a much more responsible attitude and stamp this out at source.

Paul asks…

eBooks – Who collects/uses these?

Before I select a ebook appliance, I would like to know what PC software you guys use to read/manage your libraries. If I can find good software that I love, I will use this to select a appliance that is compatible.

What PC software do you guys love (PC or Mac)? I am struggling with “Calibre” and it is giving me some grief, but it’s strength is to manage your library rather than reading.

What non-proprietary sites do you use for eBooks? (I am afraid of tying myself to Kindle/Amazon or Nook/Barns&Noble). I know about Project Gutenberg and I am using a .txt file and .html file from them for testing.

What other advice, links can you give me before I put some eBook reader on my wish list?

admin answers:

I am waiting for Apple to come out with their rumored tablet that will probably put Kindle out of business.

Thomas asks…

Why do you buy Ebooks at these prices?

I am curious as to why so many spend money on new Ebooks?
1) Excellent writing has been around for ages, and legally available for free online due to epxired copyrights. It will probably take me a decade just to finish skimming through what Project Gutenberg offers for free.
2) Notable Cost. Even assuming the body of work written today is comparable to the talent level of the past ( i.e. Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dickens)…they charge a notable fee of $9.99 at the major retailers, which is drastically higher then what paperbacks go for. But they still sell a bunch of ebooks.
3) There is a fierce competition for entertainment dollars. 1 ebook at $9.99 is 9 redbox rentals.
4) Pricing Point. To further add to my confusion, Amazon intends to raise the starting prices soon up to 14.99. So not only are consumers happy to pay $9.99 for a new version, they want to pay more

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/01/technology/companies/01amazonweb.html

So I want to hear your unfilitered comments? What is so great about these new Ebooks?

admin answers:

There’s probably several answers;

1. Copyright takes 50 years after the author has died to run out. Lots of people want books that are more current.

2. Some new books are released in eBook formate before paper formate. If you’re following a fave author or book series and just can’t wait another moment for the next installment – the eBook’s mighty tempting. (Hence the unreasonably high price for some ebooks).

3. They have authors they like & prefer to pay less for the eBook copy.

4. They can’t find a library???
