While talking to her, instead of just wishing you could talk to her, is probably the best stunt, you might consider that women frequently like displays of peer group mastery.
If she's into Soduku, make her a VD Day soduku card.
If she likes chocolate, get her an interesting chocolate (e.g. Theo's Chocolate has spicy curry, for example) and wrap it up in Doctor Who tape.
Show you actually know what she's into and you're doing well....
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go hope that cute bio stats doctoral candidate runs into me while I'm enroute to something.
If I observe that all people wearing tin foil hats are not under the control of Martians, then saying that tin foil hats prevent Martian brain control is a useless factoid.
It could be that people who can afford to buy tin foil hats are actually Venutians, for example.
Or that the Martians just never got around to targeting crazy people, cause they are busy at the South Pole.
Or... that there are no Martians.
Or... that I'm a Martian, and by reading this, you are now next on our list.
Sadly, while this should end debate, it's unlikely to do so.
A lot of times the media, or hysterical people trying to find a "cause" for something, extrapolate from a few anecdotal things they've heard.
For example, today I saw a scientific article misinterpreted by the news as saying Vitamin E will get rid of ADHD. The sample size was too small (81 total subject, of which I think 44 were not controls) to really "say" anything like that.
Does it justify further study? YES. Can we say that Vitamin E (fish oil) will cure ADHD in young kids? NO.
Information just wants to be free, and from my viewpoint, his electronic ignition system is a functioning computer with a lot more power than my old Timex-Sinclair or the S-100 bus computers I used to code on.
All that I know is, when they ran the Olympic Torch across Canada just recently, that Trail, BC, in Rocky Mountain chain, had no snow on the ground when I and all my high school classmates grew up with 6-10 feet of snow (2-3 metres) during the month of January.
Pretend global warming is not happening all you want, but the oscillating dramatic changes are happening worldwide faster and faster.
And no amount of revision will change that basic fact.
This person is correct. The source of the Wahhabi extremist religious fanatics is Saudi Arabia, who continue to export their anti-American screed (and I mean that literally) worldwide thru madrassas, with the help of factions in Yemen.
The vast and overwhelming supply of money and volunteers for al-Qaeda is from... 95 percent or more... Saudi Arabia.
Attacking Afghanistan is a waste of time - it was a forward base, and they're not there anymore.
Look, the main thing is we forgot that terrorism is a tactic, and let ourselves get swept up in Fear.
From my personal experience (multiple counter-terrorism ops) what works is fairly simple: basic police detective work.
Torture doesn't work. Fear plays into what they want.
Stop living in fear and treat this as we treat natural disasters and food poisoning - don't overreact, don't reduce your freedom or liberty, but do allocate a PORTION of your police resources to proper detective work in tracking them down.
That works. None of what we've done so far does, sadly.
Now we will have pirates with non obvious wooden legs. I will call them Ninja Pirates. I wonder how this will affect global warming.
This will help global warming.
Because the pirates will be able to carry around sheep limbs and use them instead of swords, resulting in fewer rest stops between pirating for mutton breaks.
However, it will result in a lot more three-legged sheep due to pirate depredations.
The two bloggers are the press, and our Constitution, in fact the very fabric of our American society tells us that they should tell the TSA to take a long walk off a short pier.
If we wanted to live in Soviet Russia, we wouldn't be Americans!
in general, you are correct that a VARIED diet and mild to moderate exercise, with a good sleep and less stress, plus a good social network, help a lot.
(caveat - I work in medical genetics and sit in seminars and discuss papers on what actually works)
From my viewpoint, the things that really work are:
1. low-dose aspirin, provided you aren't allergic. Reducing the inflammation response improves a lot of things, and it's one of the few things we see helping in ALL our studies.
2. caffeine - yup. mind you, there are side effects, but tea and coffee are good. no, the sugar and stevia rushes don't really help you long-term, no matter what advertisers tell you. if you must use sugar, use cane sugar, the less processed the better.
3. exercise - mild to moderate, gardening counts - this always helps, but excessive exercise is way less effective. forget the perfect abs commercials, just get 15-30 minutes of mild to moderate exercise - of any type - about three times a week.
Now I'm sure by posting this I'll get lots of people arguing for their favorite drug or supplement or placebo (up to 2/3 of all prescriptions in Canada for example), but you're basically wasting your money and it's not helping you.
I seriously doubt the brief time span that copyrights have been extended is more than just a blip along the timeline from the dawn of time until when our sun novas. Besides, most civilizations on our planet have not lasted even 1000 years, so it's unlikely your premise is even remotely correct.
As we said early on, and have continually been proven right, Information just wants to be free.
And no amount of trying to stop that will end up working in the end.
Restore copyright to 17 years renewable only by the author of the work, remove patent protection for software, and let's get back to creating and away from lining CEO's pockets.

Hmmm. Looks like I might have to buy an iPad sooner than I was expecting.

There just isn't enough data.
Information just wants to be free, and from my viewpoint, his electronic ignition system is a functioning computer with a lot more power than my old Timex-Sinclair or the S-100 bus computers I used to code on.
He should have locked down the protocols.
Cause that's what all my party invites say.
Besides, other than halftime for the show, we plan to watch Puppy Bowl, or maybe a real sport like Soccer or Snowboarding.

At the UW in Seattle we've had a number of patents (available via UW Tech) for biofuel from switchgrass, as well as biofilm approaches.
The algae methods have proven less promising, unless you're looking for specific oils that are otherwise derived from petroleum distillation.

Just that we need to remember that.

Either one will work.
Since that is what people with faster bandwidth in Japan, South Korea, and the EU pay.
Yesterday I got robocalled by this scam at work - which, since I don't ever give out my work phone to a credit card company or bank, know to be bogus.
The FTC needs to shoot to kill the people who do this, and then give their lifeless corpses a fair trial.

As a man with an IQ of 300, it's good to know that a woman with an IQ of 160 is my peer.
