Obviously IANAFI (fitness instructor) and this isn't medical advice, yada yada, but... Basically your muscles grow when you repeatedly overstress them. It's pretty simple. If you have a protein-poor diet (for instance I'm vegetarian, most of my protein intake is from milk products and eggs so I take protein shakes) then look into whey protein-based supplements, just make sure you try before you buy because some of them taste absolutely foul.
Work out 2-3 times a week, minimum, if you're doing full body workouts. If you want results fast, work out 6 times a week and do two different muscle pairs per workout. Always work opposing groups equally (for instance, bicep curls and triceps extensions, bench press and horizontal row etc.) so you stay balanced and don't screw up posture and joints. Use free weights were possible rather than resistance training machines because they build up your control muscles more (at one point I could 'bench' over 120kg on a machine, at that time I could only do 80kg with a free bench press).
Do three sets of 8-12 reps on the highest weight you can lift for at least 12 reps. When on the third set you can do a full 8 reps, you're probably ready to go up on weights. If you want to build size more than strength, do a larger number (12-15 reps) at lower weight. Mix things up a bit to keep yourself interested and to stop yourself getting into too much of a routine. Focus on technique rather than raw numbers, good technique will pay off substantially later on in terms of pace of progress and lower chance of injuries.
Once you get to higher weights (15kg+ per hand for bicep curls, 60kg+ bench was when I started), warm up with a set at a lower weight, say half your maximum. Get a spotter for bench press, in fact a gym partner in general is a good thing to keep you motivated. If you work out solo it's easy to say "I'll skip today and go twice tomorrow" but if you've told someone you'll meet them there, it's easier to set yourself a routine which in turn pushes you to turn up.
Don't expect results for a month or more. I found I got pretty much nothing (apart from pain:P ) for the first month, then started making rapid progress, you have to keep it up until your body realises life's changed and gets its ass into gear.
At any rate, if you join a half-decent gym, you should be told all this stuff by a trainer at your introductory interview. Don't be afraid to ask them about your technique and workout routines, that's their job.:)
I feel I must correct you, sir - that tea is not merely instant, it is preter-instant! However, in respects to your head-spin, it is an excellent choice, and indeed has therapeutic applications in micropsychiatry.:)
The products were purchased under a contract where the seller offers a lower price in consideration of an agreement to only sell at the Salon to end users. That's what is under contention, no? The reseller contends that she purchased the goods at a market. They should really be going after whoever sold them at the market, as assuming that the market stall owner got them under a distribution contract at a salon, it's they who is in breach of contract. Unless the reseller is lying and actually acquired the goods under contract from the manufacturer, there are no grounds I can see for going after said reseller.
isn't this just enabling police to watch things happen instead of doing things about it? That's my problem with all this remote-monitoring CCTV shite. It used to be that there'd be a transit guard or two on each platform at our central station, and then they put in a bunch of CCTV cameras linked to some security center somewhere, and replaced the actual guards with a bunch of posters with guards printed on them along with big writing saying "WE'RE WATCHING YOU". Quite personally, if someone's gonna try and mug me I'd prefer there be actual guards around that can help me, rather than some punks watching it all on TV, chalking it up as a statistic, and then uploading it to youtube for kicks.
Of course there's now a lot of guards there but that's only because they've just put in a new smartcard-based ticket system and they want to wring as much money out of us as possible.
First up, no. 'Traveling into the future' at a faster rate than normal is possible by simply moving at relativistic speeds for any period of time. Read up on the twin paradox for more info.
For your example, let A and B be ants on a ruler, both starting at 0cm and walking towards 30cm. At the 5cm mark A scoots ahead of B, until it has a lead of 10cm. That doesn't make B travel backwards, it merely means that B is still at 5cm while A is at 15cm. You can speed up or slow down the passage of time, but you can't reverse it... we think.
Or, alternately, reality and causality conspire to ensure that event A does happen, irrespective of any efforts made to stop it. Refer to the experiments conducted on resublimated thiotimoline. by I.A. et al.
Ah! Ahaha! I see what you did there, fat man! You tried to imply something de-meeean-ing about their sex-you-ality! And further, you thought to undermine the parent poster's social status by associating them with a stigmatized social status! Well, you know what? YOUFAIL!
Yeah, the way they talked things up you'd think we'd be able to buy a 22" screen, an inch thick, that can display 16 million colours and has 2 million individually controllable pixels. And that such a hypothetical "widescreen LCD monitor" would only cost as much as a 14" CRT did in 1981, and much less when prices are adjusted for inflation.
Not really. There's the fact that it's got a strict file permissions system (like any other modern OS, Apple fanboys bagging "Windows" for not having such is about as retarded as MS fanboys bagging Apple for not having preemptive multitasking) but that only stops malicious code from altering files the user can't alter. Malware can still infect and/or damage the user's files, and with a little social engineering (as simple as popping up a 'enter password' box) can get full access. There's no reason other than magic koolaid that Safari or Mail would be seen as fundamentally more secure. The reason there are so few vulnerabilities is that anyone motivated to write a worm or virus is going to want to affect as many systems as possible, which basically means targeting flavours of Windows.

Game, set and match! Although as a counterpoint, it's easy to draw parallels between a certain aspect of female anatomy and a trackpoint joystick. Only takes one finger to use, but if you're accurate and rub it round in a circle just so, it can be *very* effective...;)
This is the cloning paradox where a perfect clone is still different from its original because it did not experience the same experiences. Well it ain't a perfect clone then, innit?
That's like saying that building an identical computer out of identical parts will never be running the same programs as the one that you cloned. Well, sure it won't, unless you stick in a clone of the old one's hard disk and RAM contents, at which point it WILL. The philosophical problems come in with the fact that a perfect-to-the-neuron-level clone of you WILL be yourself again. And so, if you're still around, will you! Just ask Dudley Bose.:P
Actually, once they get out of highschool, a decent percentage (maybe 10-20%?) of nerds/geeks/techies/whatever actually get themselves a gym membership and bulk up. Often they end up bigger and stronger than said highschool jocks, because they learn good technique and know about nutrition and efficient workout strategies.
But the point is that you will land with exactly the same force as you would on Earth. The reason that jumping in low gravity is more dangerous isn't intrinsically the height you travel to - it's the fact that you have a much longer fall time and so any slight rotational velocity will affect your orientation that much more. Imagine jumping on Earth, and at the apex of your jump magically being flipped upside down so you land on your head. It wouldn't be pretty.
Seriously, guys, it's not that difficult. You don't have to be particularly attractive, suave, or debonair (I'm certainly not). Having money helps, but much of the time, the woman never even learns how much you make. Modern women simply have no standards and will almost always sleep with anyone who asks. This is so painfully true. When I was in final year highschool, it was a massive scandal when one of the girls gave a guy a blowie at an end-of-year party. Sex just didn't happen (one or two notable exceptions nonwithstanding).
These days, many kids first have sex around 14 or 15, and not infrequently have had a few partners by the time they finish school. By the time they're over 20, it's totally casual...:S Of course the hard bit, as always, is going up and asking...:P Question is, would this new MIT substance make a better self-medication than good ol'fashioned alcomahol?;)
Ironically enough, my mother had no fear of heights *until* she had children of her own. I'd put money on 'fear of loved ones being hurt' being an innate fear. Especially if those loved ones are your children - there's a massively strong biological imperative to keep your kids alive, and fearing for their safety is a part of it.
Heck, it doesn't even need to be kids. My GF and I were climbing around on some rocks on the coast a while back, and I was terrified she'd slip (running on unstable rocks half a meter from a 20m drop). She was scoffing at me about being overprotective, that is until my foot slipped a little bit on a patch of lichen and she just about had a coronary. We were both a little more careful for the other's sake after that.:P
