Well... I do feel pangs of envy when I drive by a beautiful house and think about how I never will live in such a place with a beautiful wife and children. But then I tell myself I have chosen another path in life and to make the best of that path by exploiting fully the advantages I do enjoy. Anybody can carp about the grass being greener on the other side of the fence. I strive to take responsibility for my life and complain as little as possible about my position.

I've tried to use GIMP but I just don't get it - what am I missing (and I know nothing about images so dont start about alpha channels and layers, etc).

Consumers should be wary of the term "natural" when used to describe cleaning products. All of the chemicals used to make the ingredients that go into cleaning products are found in nature.

Thus, the term "natural" to describe a final product can be misleading.

A huge amount of research data has been collected on the effects of laser therapy (over 2000 double-blind studies) both in laboratory and clinical settings. The following excerpts demonstrate some of the most significant results: (Check the bibliography if you would like to do some in-depth reading.) Wound healing is significantly improved by low level laser therapy, even non-healing wounds, thought to be due to the increased level of collagen brought about by laser treatment.

It really means that you should stay on a postdoctoral training grant or individual fellowship, or any combination of the two, for two full years. See also payback.

Scalable in the case of the NextDimension means that you can add in standard COTS parts to expand the capabilities of your system. There is nothing proprietary about the NextDimension.

For decades, researchers knew of the healing benefits of everyday, non-coherent light such as sunlight. In small doses, sunlight helps heal skin lesions. Of course if you overexpose yourself to the sun your skin will burn. What if there was a way of safely getting light to deeper tissues? Wouldn’t it help heal those tissues?

Simply join the society, then use one of the convention forms, which will be in one of the society’s mailings, or register online to attend the convention. As detailed above, these steps can be dealt with by post or online.

This warm water then flows directly back into the pool. When the pool is has reached your desirable comfort level, the water then by-passes the solar collector and returns directly to the pool.

Burn (a CD): Burning a CD is the same as recording a CD. The word "burn" means "record" when discussing recordable CDs. CDs are recorded with a high-powered laser that literally burns the information to the underside of a CD. Track: A track is an individual group of information.

In simple terms chelation means that each mineral hooks to an organic compound which holds it in a chemical claw. The organic compound readily passes from the intestines into the blood stream whereas minerals alone do not. In this manner more of each mineral is absorbed into the blood stream. Yes. Here's an example. A sincere, health conscious woman, who takes supplemental iron, notices that her stool is black. She is taking iron supplements, yet she is still anemic.

The process is simply feeding natural microbes that live in the reservoir a special group of nutrients in an exact sequence and volume, basically a cocktail of food. This process makes the microbes multiply and then shrink. When the microbes shrink, their skin surface characteristics change so that their skin surface develops an oleophilic [oil - loving] characteristic in place of a hydrophilic [water - loving] one.

It means subscribing new list members after some introductory dialogue, usually through email "commands" written to our cybertronic list-manager, whose faerie name is "Majordomo"; analyzing bounced messages to solve subscription problems; sometimes manually unsubscribing people who let their email box fill up, causing their faerie list email to bounce; staying aware of changes and goings-on at OPG/QueerNet and with the Majordomo2 software (see below); and other bits of administriv.
