  • Yogurt recommendations--based on nutrition?

    Hi guys, I'm looking for a plain (or flavored) low-fat to non-fat yogurt (regular, NOT greek) that's relatively high in protein and low in sugar/carbs. Also, it can't have gelatin in it, but let me worry about that :) So, does anyone know a yogurt I can try that's not overly sweetened, and relatively low-calorie? Thanks!

  • Extreme calf pains after running?

    I run on the treadmill 6 days a week for about half an hour each (approx. 3.5 miles total) at a relatively low incline each time. But every day after I run I get SEVERE calf pain--it gets to the point where it feels like my legs are going to literally explode. It's sort of like a really bad ache, but one that hurts to even touch and it's hard to do things afterwards (it almost brings me to tears to go into childs pose, when I have to stretch my calves). Stretching doesn't really help. But I was hoping someone might have advice for me...?

  • What is the best eReader? How about color?

    I want an eReader and while I love then sound of the Kindle, especially it's battery life and non-LED screen, reading magazines without color might not be so enjoyable. So: what's the best eReader that DOES offer color...? Overall, is the Kindle still the winner, despite it's color lacking?

  • Romantic books that aren't "romance novels"?

    I like books that have romance in them, but not the trashy harlequin-type "romance novels" you find in mass market paperback. Some examples are Water for Elephants, The Host, Phantom, One Day, etc. Thank you!

  • Can you help me with Hardy-Weinberg Problems?

    I want more general help than with a specific problem. I don't really understand how to do HW problems when they give you phenotype.

    For example: if it tells me that 360 out of 1,000 in a population display the recessive phenotype, how would I find the numbers of individuals expected to be homozygous dominant and heterozygous for the trait?

    I tried making the 360 => .36 in the P+Q=1 equation, but then I don't know how to find the 2PG (for the hets) because the numbers will no longer add up to 1 in the p^2+2pq+q^2 equation. Is .36 really the q^2? And then I have to find normal q by square rooting? Or am I on entirely the wrong track?

    Also: if they tell me that 510 out of 1,000 show the dominant phenotype, how do I find the numbers of individuals for each genotype?

    Please help tell me HOW to do these problems and not just what the answers are...thank you!

  • Tips for a different type of writer's block?

    Most people have trouble with getting inspired, or coming up with ideas of what to write. I'm not like that. Instead, it's like I have stories living in my head, and they're bursting out of me, all the time. But no matter what I do I can't seem to put them into words. I have at least 2 full-length novels completely mapped out in my mind, but whenever I try to write them on paper (or on the computer) it just won't come out. The pictures are so vivid inside my imagination, but somehow when I try to write them down, I feel like no matter what I do I can't do those stories justice, I can't express them the way they need to be expressed. So I get discouraged and don't even try.

    I need help figuring out how to write these stories down...I have these characters living in my head and--although this might make me sound crazy--I know I won't be able to rest until I get them out, written down, and feel satisfied. How do I go about that...? I guess you could say I'm a writer who doesn't know how to write :(

  • Video editing software? For fan videos on Mac?

    I want to make fan videos for shows/movies, like the ones you can find on YouTube. I've done it before on a windows but the software gave my computer viruses and now I have a Mac anyways. What software can I use to make clips out of DVDs and then edit them in something like iMovie? Or should I use something else besides iMovie too?

    I don't mind paying as long as it works and isn't *too* expensive.

    This is an example of what I'm looking for, but for a mac.

  • Shipping what I sold on eBay?!?

    I'm trying to send the iPod I just sold on eBay but when I try to print out a shipping label from paypal I get this message:

    Your payment for shipping cannot be processed because it exceeds your available balance. To raise your balance, you must add funds to your account. Please note that it may take 3-4 days for any funds you add to become available in your PayPal account.

    However I have $51 in the paypal account, the iPod I'm shipping has a declared worth of $50 and my shipping estimate is around $8. How can $51 not be enough to cover $8 shipping costs? And can I send the iPod without the paypal label in a safe way? I've never sold on ebay before and I'm not sure how I'll get the money either!

  • Why can't I find female rats in pet stores?

    I like the personalities of rats but I can't deal with the male genitals...I don't know why, it's the only animal I can't stand to have a male of....but I'd really like to have a pet rat, I just want a female! However, wherever I go (and I go to lots of different pet stores, very frequently) they only sell male rats. Why is this? And is there any way I can find a female...?

  • Would someone please explain the film "American Psycho" to me?

    I just watched the movie, starring Christian Bale. While usually films don't go completely over my head, I was at a loss with this one. I understand it's based on a novel--and I think at the end it means that he was imagining it all? But I don't know. PLEASE EXPLAIN IT TO ME.

  • How do I make coffee better WITHOUT adding calories? (advice please)?

    I really need a pick-me-up in the morning and was thinking of trying coffee, at least every once in a while. However, I have a very sensitive stomach and so the taste makes me kind of nauseous... I was wondering how well sweeteners like Stevia, or Torani sugar-free syrup will dissolve into coffee that isn't hot (I bought something in a can that's called Cafe)? I don't want to add calories, but I need it to taste better if I'm going to drink it...

    Thanks!
