Father's day
This father's day we are going to celebrate it in a family reunion at a retaurant which we usually do every year. My dad means everything for me. He has done a lot of things for us to be prosperous and well educated. He is a wonderful guy which i admire every day. This year i bought him an ipod touch since he wanted one a couple of months ago. I just wish i could follow his steps and be like him.
Solar Flare predicted for 2012- 2013
is a large explosion in the Sun's atmosphere that can release high quantities of joules of energy.
Recent scientific research has shown that the phenomenon of magnetic reconnection is responsible for solar flares. NASA-assembled researchers described in a chilling report issued earlier this year on the destructive potential of solar storms for the 2012-2013.
it describes the consequences of solar flares unleashing waves of energy that could disrupt Earth’s magnetic field, overwhelming high-voltage transformers with vast electrical currents and short-circuiting energy grids. Such a catastrophe would cost the United States "$1 trillion to $2 trillion in the first year," concluded the panel, and "full recovery could take 4 to 10 years." That would, of course, be just a fraction of global damages.

How to upgrade your CPU
In order to upgrade your CPU you will need to know two things about your motherboard: its CPU socket and its maximum external clock rate. These two data are written on the motherboard manual.
You can only replace your CPU with another CPU that uses the same socket. Otherwise you will need to replace also your motherboard.
Before replacing your CPU we strongly recommend you to perform a BIOS upgrade on your motherboard to update your motherboard with the latest available BIOS. This will assure you that your motherboard will recognize your new CPU. Several times when you install a new CPU that you know that your motherboard supports your motherboard won’t turn on because it needs a BIOS upgrade, and you will have to install back your old CPU in order to do this. Avoid this hassle by performing a BIOS upgrade before replacing your CPU.
After replacing your CPU you will need to run a hardware identification utility like Sandra, Hwinfo or CPU-Z to check whether your new CPU is running at its correct clock rate or not. Depending on the socket number you can distinguished the type of proccesor your computer uses.
Like all other CPUs you can only replace one CPU by another that uses the same socket type used by your motherboard. If you want to replace your CPU by another that uses a different socket, you will need to replace your motherboard as well (and sometimes also other devices, such as the RAM memory).

Different swimming strokes
Swimming is a sporting workout activity that involves multiple distinctive kinds of strokes. Well, a swimming stroke is nothing, but a specific manner of moving your arms and legs, so as to push your body forward against the water. There should not be much of water splashing, while performing your swimming stroke. Some of the swimming strokes are the following:
Butterfly Stroke: it is the toughest and the most exhausting swimming stroke, encompassing windmill like arm movements and dolphin kick. While performing this stroke competitively, the swimmer should avoid underwater swimming.
Breast Stroke: this is one among the different swimming strokes that involves arm movements on the front side, from your head to shoulder level. It is the frog kick that can be associated with this stroke. The swimmer should keep his/her head above the water surface, while carrying out this swim stroke.
Crawl: flutter kick and alternating over arm movements are the features that characterize crawl-swimming stroke. While doing crawling, the swimmer has to keep his head in the water, alternating the face side.
Sidestroke: scissors kick is a distinguished feature that explains the movements of sidestroke. This underwater stroke involves the pushing of your body in the forward direction, keeping your body on one side.
Backstroke: this stroke involves alternate over the head arm movements and flutter kick.
Freestyle swimming: it gives you the liberty to use any swimming stroke you want to, while carrying out your swimming workout session.
Dog paddle: it is one of the simplest swimming strokes, making use of modified flutter kick. In dog paddling, your forward motion takes place with your arms underwater.

Types of guitars
There are various types of guitar and they all have their own particular sound. Playing different guitars in a music shop is a great way of familiarising yourself with each models unique qualities but don't forget to take off any objects that could scratch the guitar. A music salesman will let you try as many guitars as you like but may not be too happy at the little scratch your coat button left. Your choice of guitar will usually be based on the type of music you wish to play and the aesthetic appeal of the colour and design.
Acoustic guitars
The acoustic guitar is found all over the globe and this cultural adoption and historical evolution has led to many variations in design and purpose.
There are two kinds of acoustic guitar: steel-string and classical. Classical guitars have a wider neck and use nylon strings. Steel-strings have a defined and sharp sound that is a distinctive component of a wide range of popular music styles; country and rock are two examples. The nylon strings of the classical guitar allows the guitarist to play complicated arrangements and barres with ease. Both types of guitar can be played using a pick or finger-style.
Electric Guitar
The electric guitar is the workhorse of rock music and is also used extensively in blues, jazz and pop music. Electric guitars need to be plugged into an amplifier to be heard adequately.
Electro-Acustic Guitar
Electro-acoustic guitars have pickups specifically designed for the subtle nuances of the timbre of the acoustic guitar.
This allows electro-acoustics to be plugged into a PA and they are essential for many guitarists who rely on using the house PA when they gig.

What invention would you like to see in your lifetime?
We've come a long way since the stone age. These days we have so many new technologies which we take for granted. Some of these include: cellphones, the internet, computers, television, cars, GPS devices, microwaves, and many more. However there is still much more work to be done. There are countless inventions that are still yet to be invented. Take a look at some of my favorite future creations that i would like to see:
-Time travel
This is my favorite of all the inventions. I can't wait till the day when I can correspond with my past or future self about issues that effect me today. While transporting of people through time is not feasible at this time, there currently exists the blueprints for a time machine that can transport tiny particles and even information to the past and/or future.
-Teleportation
I'm so lazy. So, when the prospect of being teleported from one place to another without being required to move was introduced to me. I said, "when do we start!" I look forward to the day when people have their own teleporation devices in their home.
-Smart Robots
Now, I know that often times movies paint a worst-case-scenario image of robots. Movies such as Terminator and I, Robot are just a couple. They would have you believe that if we make robots too sentient, they will turn on the human race and disaster would ensue. I don't believe this to be the case. I believe that smart robots would only be good for our society.
-Brain-Computer Interface
This one I know is already in the works. I saw a 60 Minutes segment about scientists hooking up people and animals brains to a computer.

Top 10 most intelligent animals
Animals can be as shrewd, cunning, and mentally amplified as you. Below is a list of the top 10 animals that are known to have intelligence:
10. The cow
Did you know that cows can produce more milk if they listen to the song “the Sound of Silence” by Simon and Garfunkel? The cognitive abilities of cows are now being studied. Experts say that cows, like us, worry about the future. If farmers care for them very well, cows feel immense happiness.
9. Octopus
Do you know that cephalopods, like squids, octopus, and nautilus can stare and watch you intently from inside an aquarium? Scientists have ranked cephalopods at the top of the invertebrate intelligence scale.
According to scientists, many vertebrates don’t have this ability.
8. Cuckoo
Did you know that of all bird species in the world today, cuckoos are the most mischievous? Female European cuckoos secretly lay their eggs on other birds’ nests. It is called "Brood Parasitism" when unsuspecting adults take care of an imposter egg.
7. Pigs
You’ll be shocked to learn that pigs are proven to be very insightful animals. Scientists say that pigs have complex cognitive abilities. In laboratories, pigs play video games better than primates. Pigs can also dream and recognize their own names. In some studies, researchers identified more than 20 different squeals that pigs objectively respond to. Pigs listen to music. Mother pigs are known to sing for their young and newborn piglets can identify their mother’s voice upon birth. Researchers were also able to teach several pigs to jump over dumbbells and fetch frisbees
6. Bees
Bees exhibit complex cognitive processes many insects don’t show. They can use the sun as a compass. They can learn sounds, colors, and locations. Bees have an uncanny sense of time. Bees have a language often referred to as the honeybee dance. This dance is their form of language. They dance to communicate distance, elevation and quality of the food source.
5. Dolphins
There is no way dolphins wouldn’t make this list. They are so intelligent; their brains are bigger than humans. Yes, dolphin brains are the biggest cranial mass in the entire world. Aside from being obedient animal entertainers, dolphins have the ability to pull off practical jokes on other animals.
4.Elephants
The elephant brain is very heavy. It weighs in at about 5 kilos or more. Other large mammals, such as rhinos and hippos don’t have that kind of brain size. Scientific research has proven that elephants have the ability to use different objects in creative ways without being taught firsthand.
3. Blackbirds
Blackbirds have the largest hyperstriatums, which means they have the ability to count objects and make complex decisions. These birds are very manipulative as they let other creatures do the work and afterwards, seize the opportunity for themselves.
2. Whales
whales are very intelligent. In many instances, scientists have observed that whales are very emotional animals. Whales can experience feelings of anguish, joy, and parental love.
1. Gorillas
Apes and humans have something in common. Aside playing on monkey bars, humans and apes are both primates. What differs is that apes are classified as “non-human primates”. Since humans and apes belong in the same class, it is not surprising that they are almost as bright as humans.
Apes are “thinking animals”. They are one of the few animals who know how to use and make their own tools. Some of the well-known apes are gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans. Just recently, "Koko the Gorilla" made headlines by learning over 1,000 words of American Sign Language.

A place i would like to visit
Greece would be the answer becuase this has been my dream since i was a kid. Greece is a fantastic country. With beautiful architecture and history. Its coastlines makes it a dream land for many. The water its clear and since i love water it would be the best place for me to be.
Exotic pets
Here’s an article on animals that may be more attractive to your landlord than dogs that like to dig or cats that like to scratch.
From ferrets,guinea pigs, hamster, lizards to snakes, monkeys, zebras, tigers and Parrots.
It's officious intolerable the lengths to which humans will go for companionship.
This poor animals are taken out of their habitat to go to houses? I think this is inmoral and unethical from the point of view that animals should not be distruberd from their habitat..

A typical lunch hour at work
Well at my job we always have lunch at 2pm since before that sometimes we need to finish proposals. During lunch me and my coworkers usually go to bryant park in manhattan since it is near the office.. We do this only during the summer since during winter is impossible because of the weather. We like the park since it is a calm place with beatiful views to vegetation, buildings, etc.
Best music at the time to go to the GYM..
Choosing the best song for those pumps in the gym is essential..Good music gives you that extra strenght that you might require to do more repetitions in the gym.
Here are some songs I like:
Breaking benjamin- Blow me away
Breaking benjamin- Diary of jane
Linkin Park- GIven up
POD- BOOM
Ozzy Osbourne- Crazy train
Metallica- Enter Sandman
Evanescence- Going Under
Snoop Dog- I wanna rock
Papa roach- Last resort
Linkin park- Dont Stay
Linkin Park- points of authority

Foods I don’t like..
Every person has its own taste to certain foods, for this reason i am listing food i dont really like:
-Mayonise too much cholesterol for me which makes me dizzy and gives me a stomache pain
-lemon on salads, for me it is better plain salad that putting lemon on it which takes out the flavor of salad.
-pork, too much cholesterol, I only eat depending how they make the pork.
-Vinegar, I hate vinegar and worst if it is in salad which gives it a bitter flavor to salad.

Which is of greater cancer risk: Smoking or pollution?
Tobacco smoke is just one of many carcinogens floating around in our atmosphere today but yet it takes the blame for the massive increase in reported cases of cancer of all types as well as many other kinds of illness. Despite a steady decline in tobacco smoking since the 1950's cancer related illness has increased 50% or more.
Air pollution if it is bad enough and concentrated enough can cause cancer I am sure. But I know from personal experience that smoking can cause Cancer.
Smoking has decreased and cancer cases have increased. People are living longer these days despite the fact that most of the oldies would have enjoyed being smokers back in the fifties and sixties. Logic says that there has to be another factor which is causing the increase in cancer. There are known carcinogens in our atmosphere which suggests that air pollution is a much bigger factor than smoking ever was or has been blamed for.

Destination Argentina!!
Yes, argentina!!!! This Summer I am going to have my vacations on Argentina since I have a cousint that lives there. It has been something inespected but for sure i am going to do that trip. One of the important reasons of why im going is because aregentina might won the Fifa world cup which means big parties and celebration over there. Also argentinian girls are beautiful and why not give it a try and try to relax for a little.
Debate over whether or not to lower the drinking age in the United States?
In my opinion I think it is not a good idea to lower the age of drinking in the country. If the minimum drinking age is lowered to 18 in the United States, the result will be greater availability of alcohol not only to 18-20 year olds but also to those younger than 18. Studies in the U.S. have shown that lowering the drinking age to 18 also increases alcohol-related crashes for ages of 15 and up.
Should human cloning be allowed?
That is a question we must ask ourselves. Recently, less than two years ago, an event in genetic history changed our perspective of what we know as "Reproduction" and added to our conscience a new element to the study of Biology. This event immediately caught my interest and intrigued me. It was the birth of a unique sheep named Dolly. Dolly was a clone sheep born on February 12th 1997 (Henderson, pg. 2). Dolly's existence stuck like super glue onto my mind and refused to let go. I started pondering the true potential of cloning and how it could affect mankind. I considered the possibility of human cloning, the advantages and the disadvantages.
In order to debate the potential of human cloning, we must first consider how it ties in to certain aspects of human society. One of these aspects is determining how human cloning will affect scientific research. The continuation of human cloning and its related actions could drastically increase our scientific knowledge of genetics and lead us to new discoveries concerning the human body and related issues.
If human cloning were to undergo technological advances, the study of health would also drastically improve. Cloning would provide better research capabilities for finding cures to many present-day diseases.
In society today, public opinion about human cloning is divided. The supporters for human cloning argue that human cloning should be allowed, as the research may have to potential to eliminate many of the world's problems such as animal extinction and can also benefit mankind in many ways. On the other hand, the opposers of human cloning say that cloning is unethical and that we should not be defying the very foundation of natural creation.

Should abortion be banned?
Abortion is murder no matter when a person believes life becomes official. This controversy will remain for centuries, however the fact that a potential life has ended before given a chance remains evidence enough for most people to understand why a person should never have a choice of whether a baby lives or dies. There are many reasons abortion should be illegal including the descriptive and disturbing stories about how aborted babies sometime scream as they come out and the looks of pain on their faces. These facts alone should convince anyone to eliminate the idea of pregnancy termination out of their mind.
So yes im my opinion it should be banned and not permitted by the law since it is categorized as murder and also because it affect the health of the mother...

Should smoking be banned?
In my opinion smoking should definitely be banned in public places as it not only has delitirious effects on the non smokers present there but also may cause alergic coughing to many people.Besides,many youngsters are fascinated by the act of smoking and try to immitate it which may later develop into a habit.
Smoke which arises when a person smokes a cigarette,bidi or cigar is more hazardous to a passive smoker who inhales the smoke being in close vicinity of the active smoker. The smoke being inhaled by the former is unfiltered thereby causing more ill effects.Several pulmonary diseases such as cough,bronchitis,asthma and last but not the least carcinoma of lungs may occur as a consequence of smoking.
Many countries such as india have implemented a ban on public smoking.It has become mandatory to have no smoking zones in all eating joints,recreation centres etc.This practice may seem as a curbing of ones right to freedom especially to the smokers but surely this step will go a long way in achieving a healthier life style.Manypeople who gradually become aware of the ill effects of smoking are turning towards deaddiction centres to get rid of this habit.
Even the advocates of smoking in public areas dissapprove of the practice when it comes to their offsprings.Witnessing the elders smoking kindles similar desire in a youngster thereby giving birth to a new generation af smokers.

Animal testing for research purposes? Good or Bad?
There are many pros and cons to the practice of animal testing. Unfortunately, neither the pro's nor the con's seem to fully tip the scale to a side that pleases everyone - including the general public, government and scientists.
Pro's for Animal Testing
The major pro for animal testing is that it aids researchers in finding drugs and treatments to improve health and medicine. Many medical treatments have been made possible by animal testing, including cancer and HIV drugs, insulin, antibiotics, vaccines and many more. It is for this reason that animal testing is considered vital for improving human health and it is also why the scientific community and many members of the public support its use. In fact, there are also individuals who are against animal testing for cosmetics but still support animal testing for medicine and the development of new drugs for disease.
Another important aspect to note is that animal testing helps to ensure the safety of drugs and many other substances humans use or are exposed to regularly. Drugs in particular can carry significant dangers with their use but animal testing allows researchers to initially gauge the safety of drugs prior to commencing trials on humans. This means that human harm is reduced and human lives are saved - not simply from avoidance of the dangers of drugs but because the drugs themselves save lives as well as improve the quality of human life.
Scientists typically use animals for testing purposes because they are considered similar to humans. As such, researchers do recognise the limitations and differences but the testing is done on animals because they are thought to be the closest match and best one with regards to applying this data to humans.
Con's Against Animal Testing
In animal testing, countless animals are experimented on and then killed after their use. Others are injured and will still live the remainder of their lives in captivity. The unfortunate aspect is that many of these animals received tests for substances that will never actually see approval or public consumption and use. It is this aspect of animal testing that many view as a major negative against the practice. This aspect seems to show the idea that the animal died in vain because no direct benefit to humans occurred from the animal testing.
Another con on the issue of animal testing is the sheer cost. Animal testing generally costs an enormous amount of money. Animals must be fed, housed, cared for and treated with drugs or a similar experimental substance. The controlled environment is important but it comes with a high cost. On top of that, animal testing may occur more than once and over the course of months, which means that additional costs are incurred. The price of animals themselves must also be factored into the equation. There are companies who breed animals specifically for testing and animals can be purchased through them.

This means that human harm is reduced and human lives are saved - not simply from avoidance of the dangers of drugs but because the drugs themselves save lives as well as improve the quality of human life.
Scientists typically use animals for testing purposes because they are considered similar to humans. As such, researchers do recognise the limitations and differences but the testing is done on animals because they are thought to be the closest match and best one with regards to applying this data to humans.
Con's Against Animal Testing
In animal testing, countless animals are experimented on and then killed after their use. Others are injured and will still live the remainder of their lives in captivity. The unfortunate aspect is that many of these animals received tests for substances that will never actually see approval or public consumption and use. It is this aspect of animal testing that many view as a major negative against the practice. This aspect seems to show the idea that the animal died in vain because no direct benefit to humans occurred from the animal testing.
Another con on the issue of animal testing is the sheer cost. Animal testing generally costs an enormous amount of money. Animals must be fed, housed, cared for and treated with drugs or a similar experimental substance. The controlled environment is important but it comes with a high cost. On top of that, animal testing may occur more than once and over the course of months, which means that additional costs are incurred. The price of animals themselves must also be factored into the equation. There are companies who breed animals specifically for testing and animals can be purchased through them.
