Answer to:
I work out three or more time a week for and hour and I lift weights. I still gain five pounds every Winter or more. I want to lose a little more but I am going up and down.I eat mostly fruit and vegetables. I eat very little saturated fat. Suggestions You want to keep from gaining in the Winter? Well, as the days get shorter and you (probably) spend more time indoors), your metabolism slows. Plus, as you indulge in the fatty foods and alcohol everpresent in the season, you have company. To keep from gaining that unwelcome seasonal addition, drop your average caloric intake (starting in mid-october) by 100 cal/day.

Why do some bread bags have holes in them? This only makes the bread get stale much faster, and if there are things like sunflower or sesame seeds on the exterior, they get all over because they fall out of the holes. Only FRESH, hot/warm, unsliced bread should be found in a bag with holes. The holes are there so that the moisture released from the still-warm bread doesn't make the bread soggy.

But I'd have to say that without the oil, but all else being equal, I'd reduce the hypothetical odds of our Iraq invasion to around 30%.

Our political kowtowing to the tree-hugger set has kept us from developing (completely-achievable) energy independence. . And independence is better than dependence.

IF the "average homeowner" finds himself with enough disposable income to waste on buying electricity at 9-15 times what it would cost via nuclear of coal generation, then solar would be "affordable" -- but always financially wasteful.

The answer is simple: solar is the single LEAST cost-effective means of power generation, and is therefore a HUGE WASTE of money.

Answer to:
What is the background opera aria in the Kohler (shower) commercial? It us "Fini...me lassa! - Arturo- si, e desso!" from the last act of Vincenzo Bellini's "I Puritani." I absolutely KNEW I knew it ... I just needed to check (since the melody bears a resemblance to one in the first act). I was certain it was Bellini, and nearly sure it was from Puritani, and about 60/40 between the last and the first acts....
