hi! so, short story, 2 years ago, i was suffering major daily panic attacks due to so much stress. i was also 5'10 255lbs. anyway, i chose to go to the gym rather than take anti depressants for several reasons not important here. while i was going to the gym, i was drinking a protein shake immediately after my workouts. it consisted of 25 grams of whey protein, 2 cups of milk, and probiotics. after a year, i went from 255lbs to 210lbs. later in the year, i started to incorporate 25 grams of casein protein and 2 cups of milk before i went to sleep. that's where i saw more weight loss. anyway, after the year was over, i suffered some financial hardships and whatnot, and couldn't afford a gym membership for close to a year. and well, i gained my 45lbs back. now i'm back in the gym, and i have my fun ingredients back.

my new idea now is to add some essential vitamins and minerals into my shake since i am so focused on drinking it daily. i work out 5 days a week, and drink 15 shakes a week. 5 of them are a BCAA drink with 2 cups of water that i drink during my workout. another 5 is 20 grams of whey protein 2 cups of whole milk, and 1 teaspoon of probiotics that i drink immediately after my workout. and finally, before bed, 5 is 24 grams of casein protein and 2 cups of whole milk.

now, i want to add calcium, magnesium and vitamin d to my whey protein shake. the whey protein already has 75mg calcium and 15mg magnesium. mind you, i dont want to put too much in there, because i do have a diet where bananas and spinach and so on is common. i just want to make sure that i have a decent amount of my daily requirements in the key moment of muscle recovery.

also noted; my body goal is open ended. i dont want to be a body builder, and i dont want to be skinny. i do want my muscles to grow, and i also want calories to burn. so, yea. what do we got yahoo people?

On a lot of food it proudly claims they use natural flavors. Then when I read the ingredients list it just says natural flavors. What are they exactly?

I'm from Spain and I have thick black and a lot of wavy hair. Im trying to grow it out into faux hawk similar to the way David beckham has it now. My hair is about maybe 2 1/2 inches high now. If I dry it and put nothing in my hair it'll stand straight up. I tried straightening it with a flat iron and this Brasilian therapy keratine spray and my hair was awesomely straight! Problem is, like I said before, my hair goes straight up and it drives me nuts. I bought this conditioner mouse to weigh it down but my hair curls up immediately! Is there any technique that will help me weigh my hair down and still keep it straight?

I'm curious if there's a way you get wine into a powder form so i can use it to make my own oil paints. i think it would be interesting if i could paint with a rioja red and an albariño white. i guess i could stain the pigment powder, but it wouldn't be the true color. so, anyone have any ideas??

Both of my parents are Spaniards, and I even have dual citizenship (actually finalizing it now) But when it comes to official documents here in America, what am I considered? Am I White (Non-Hispanic) or Hispanic? My dad has told me I should put white, and I have. But, according to the US government, what am I?

Also, in regards to applying for jobs, what is everyone's opinion on putting Hispanic or White? They say they act equal, but what do you think?

This usually has to do with miracle weight loss supplements, although they have been said in other products too (can't happen to remember which ones.... sorry)

either way, when they say "clinical studies have proven this product works" but never mention who performed the study. does this mean the study actually exists? or did they make it up? there's one example of why i'm asking this question. it was for a weight loss pill lipo-something-or-other, and they had a outside picture of a poorly photoshopped doctor's office, and some guy that clearly looked like an actor in a doctor's coat reading lines about how we have a layer of fat on our belly, and how the pill is clinical proven to burn this fat away.

i guess there's another part of this question... if this is fake, how do they get away with this? it has to be, because the same pill, with similar commercial style and similar acting just with a different name.

im an intern at a gallery in chelsea NY. the gallery is brand new and is starting up a new website. i was qualified for this job in every aspect BUT web design. so, of course my first job is to help create the website. awesome..... we're using this program/company called squarespace to make the site, but the "customizable" options they offer are garbage. specifically the image slideshow. they have one.... just one. and its horrible! the good thing is they have a place where we can add in our own CSS. (im assuming theres a difference between HTML and CSS....) either way, ive googled ways to create slideshows using html, and i feel like i can read and write in russian easier than i could read or write this code. (i know 2 words in russian by the way, just trying to illustrate the level of heinousness this is)

so ive been looking at all of these "easy to do" ways to make the slideshow, and im coming up with nothing. im looking for anyone who can help me via email or IM. my email is njshorecore@gmail.com

PS. im incredibly frustrated right now, so yahoo answers, i dont care about the "Oops! you have 10 misspellings"

PPS if youre russian, thats so cool. im trying to learn russian to impress this incredibly beautiful russian girl. "spa-see-ba"

its been over 2 years since i've had a formal critique. i used to hate them! now i sort of miss them.....i got defensive when people ripped apart my work, mainly because i hated this post modern contemporary form of speak everyone uses these days. so im looking for a not so traditional form of critique. i'm leaving it up to you all to give me your honest opinion of my work!

i used to be a painter before i went to college, then while i went to RIT, i became a printmaker under keith howard. after i graduated, i lost my ability to get into any printmaking studios to keep printmaking. all of the printmaking studios around her don't do non-towxic four color intaglio printmaking that i did at school so i had to resort to photography. my friend laughs at me because i used to call photography "art theft." either way, all pictures were taken with my iphone camera, and a little this and that on photoshop. so tell me what you think!

whenever i drink caffeine, it sparks anxiety attacks. aspartame doesn't seem to have any effect to my health so i decided to try diet green tea to help boost my metabolism. so i'm wondering if diet green tea is the same as regular green tea in that regard.
