sorry to start an indepth debate but what do you all think about animal testing? I personally are all for it

Hello, I am 25 years old and for the past week I have been experiencing dizzy spells and lightheadedness when I move my head and look around. I have also been getting sharp headaches behind my left eye and on the sides of my head. They are causing my anxiety issues to begin and I am getting very nervous. I am so terrified of getting an anwurysm or tumor especially now that I have a baby. I am frightened and wondering if I should go to outpatients. Can someone help me?

does SFN have a podcast? If not we should try and get one going....anyone agree?

hi, I had a project due a day before yesterday but I did not hand it is as I was not able to complete it. I thought I would do it yesterday but I could not do it. Now, I was going to do it today but still could not do it. The problem here is that I am not feeling like doing anything at all. All I am wanting to do is just go to sleep, and that's it. I am loading myself up with my tons of late homeworks/projects and it's really stressing me off. Any suggestions on what I can do to change what I want to do.? thx!

The book is titled The No Asshole Rule Has anybody seen a copy? According to reviews, the book gives a number of case stories of different types of bully (aka "asshole") and studies the loss they cause in terms of productivity----and why assholes are tolerated much of the time despite the damage they do to the company. I thought it was remarkable that bullying should be see…

this is the secret Lost tape that I found on youtube. It's very interesting stuff and involves how the show may progress, for those of you who are interested. Lots of secrets involving the island are discussed here.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrH4iiw-owM

I'm curious as to whether any of you play either Warhammer Fantasy Battle or Warhammer 40,000 (Games Workshop's LotR game doesn't count ). I've noticed large populations of the gamers on certain imageboards and other forums, so i'm wondering how widespread it is over here.

How long until the enormously wasteful incandescent light bulb is dead? http://www.physorg.com/news93198212.html According to this table this LED is approximately equivalent to a 67 watt incandescent bulb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb

The 2006-07 winter was the warmest worldwide since the advent of instrumental recording, according to the US atmospheric agency NOAA. http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2007/s2819.htm Anyone else been feeling it? We've had one of the worst winters on record in terms of snowfall.

Friday I get my crow, and I go on leave. I will probably be incommunicado until then, though.

Hey everyone. I've run into a little conundrum recently, relating to my applications for financial aid and college and such. It's a rather complex situation, so i'll try to describe it to my best ability if anyone's willing to help. There are two people involved in this: me, and my estranged biological father. I have not seen my father in twelve years, and in fact am very hesitant to want anything to do with him again, since he's not exactly a very rational person (in fact, he's insane). He pays child support, however, and also happens to be a Vietnam War veteran. His Vietnam War veteran status is what i'm considering to use to get certain scholarships, since i'm…

I went to my cousins house yesterday to find he had bought a crappy electric supercharger. I made fun of him so much. The thing is truly riduculous, you have to see this piece of sh*t! http://www.electricchargers.com

As recently I’ve been getting slightly bored of where I live/England in general, a few months ago I decided to defer my entry to Uni and take a gap year to go travelling. I’m currently working stupid amount of hours to save up for this but I still need to work out where I’m gonna go. I may travel with a friend but I’d rather have the freedom to go where and do what I want so I will most likely travel by myself. Anyway I’m in desperate need of some inspiration and or tips on travelling so I thought to be great to hear about the places you've travelled to before. What it was like, what was good, what was bad etc?. I'll start. For me, so far Russia was probabl…

In 1992, the state board of Texas Education discussed raising performance standards and levels of expectations for all students. One of the obstacles to this goal was the existence of the below level courses in English language arts, mathematics, and science. These courses tended to isolate low-performing students and to minimize expectations of them. Accordingly, the board adopted the schedule for phasing out below level courses. Correlated Language Arts I, Fundamentals of Mathematics, Consumer Mathematics, and Introductory Physical Science did not satisfy graduation requirements after the 1991-92 school year. After the 1992-93 school year, Correlated Language Arts …

Ok, this is my first proper post. If you could pick a new seven wonders of the world what would they be ? I know that we understand how the pyramids were built now but what would be tantamount to the pyramids today, what would deserve the title of a wonder of the world.?

Hey all, I remember reading one of Richard Dawkins books a long time ago. He was describing animals which are too grotesque to be designed by an omni-benevolent God. One of the organisms he described was a creature which, usually, gives birth to three daughters and one son. Firstly the brother impregnated the sisters. Than, the four of them eat the mother from inside. Once the male breathes in oxygen, he dies. The sisters live on to repeat the cycle. As I recall it was some specie of mice, but I am not convinced it is . Anyone have any ideas?
