Is this guitar worth anything?
I have a Sakooa acoustic guitar that was my father's from the 60s 0r 70s. I had the strings replaced and was trying to start playing it (totally difficult!) and if I don't get into it soon I'll probably sell it. Is it worth much? Also, any tips for getting started with guitar (if I do keep the acoustic)? Not sure if I want to take any lessons yet, I just want to get a basic understanding of the instrument first. I play piano as well.
Size question RE: stuffing ;)?
One of my friends is a film student, and hes been making a cheesy 60's-70's cop show rip off for class. Its well funny. And I play one of the parts in it. Costumes we've got are brilliant, flares and big sunglasses and crazy stuff like that. AND. we stuff our crotches. We just use rolled socks.We were all getting changed one day, stuffing crotches and whatnot, and it hit me how stupid the size matters debate is. I figure we're around about the same in the basement, and with the addition of socks, (especially in the leads-bigger socks) Things down there start to look and feel a bit silly. It was good for a bit of fun, but if I had junk like that all the time I think I'd feel a little wierd. It felt way to front heavy, especially without a shirt on. QUESTIONS: Is size that important? Ever tried crotch stuffing? What did u think? Any suggestions for something more comfortable than socks ;P? Did people back then actually dress like that
Why do shops start pushing the Christmas shopping rip off so early? The bloody Reindeer and fake snow started as early as September in some stores. Why can't they wait until December at least?
It is annoying, isn’t it? But they have their reasons.Most retail stores depend on Christmas shoppers to keep themselves profitable. In the US, the Friday after Thanksgiving (which is the fourth Thursday in November) has long been known as “Black Friday” because it’s the semiofficial start of Christmas shopping, and that’s what takes stores out of the red (suffering a loss for the year) and puts them in the black (making a profit).Stores assume that they’ll make more money if they can entice people into spending more of the year buying stuff for Christmas, so they put out Christmas merchandise and decorations earlier and earlier.Original question: Why do shops start pushing the Christmas shopping rip off so early?

Can you get ripped doing push ups?
Last week I started doing push ups around noon. I started with 200 on the first day. Now I am up to 350. Start by doing my max, around 60, and then 55, 50, 45 etc until I hit my mark for the day, which goes up by 50 everyday. I take two days off per week. Is this going to get me ripped? Anyone tried something similar?
I am approaching 60 years old. Is it possible to get ripped at this age using just exercise and diet?
As we age the odds of gaining and retaining muscle mass and losing body fat become less and less in our favor. The reason being, is as we get older, the levels of testosterone and growth hormone (responsible for protein retention - protein is a fundamental nutrient for muscle development) drop. Is it impossible to gain muscle and lose fat when we get older? Absolutely not. Will it require more discipline and effort? Absolutely.Regarding exercise, be sure you are keeping your workout routines intense and challenging. Following these two objectives will tailor your workout to keep you at the best of your ability. Intense means keeping rest between sets as short as possible (no more than 2 minutes). Challenging means that you choose a weight (or rep count for body weight exercises) that allows you to properly perform every rep of every set with maximum effort. This will encourage testosterone production.As far as diet is concerned, you may or may not have heard about Intermittent Fasting. Essentially intermittent fasting is pushing your first meal of the day to around 12 + hours after your last meal the day before. So, if you finished eating the night before at 8 pm then you wouldn’t eat again until 8 am, and as you advance with intermittent fasting you’ll be able to push that window to 16, 18, 20, 22, even 24 hours! What’s the benefit to this? Well, the longer you push this window the higher your growth hormone levels get. A study in men has shown that intermittent fasting can increase growth hormone levels to around 2000%! I’ve written an article going over the tips and tricks to staying on track with intermittent fasting. Check it out: What To Know About Fasting.That’s it, follow these guidelines with great discipline, and believe that you’ll see improvements!I hope the best for you!
How likely is it for a girl to get pregnant if a condom rips?
Its very possible because the condom ripped. I knew a girl in high school who got pregnant this way the condom broke. So there is a change that this girl could become pregnant. How will she know? Well she will either miss her cycle or start having pregnancy symptoms, sore breasts, hungry, tired, morning sickness etc. If this happened recently then id advice you get this girl the plan b pill it can be taken with in 72 hours of sex. "When a woman needs Plan B, she will have to get it very quickly. She can only start it within 72 hours (three days) after intercourse. But, sooner is better than later. On day one, 95% of pregnancies are prevented, compared with 85% on the second day, and 60% for those starting on the third day." http://www.estronaut.com/a/Plan_B_Mornin... To be frank anytime someone has sex there is a change a pregnancy could happen even with protection. The only 100% birth control is not having sex.
What types of machines and exercises would you suggest someone who is starting to work out use? What sort of schedule should I stick to?
While not technically a machine, Suspension Strap Bands like TRX or Rip-60.Amazing for building stability throughout your body. Once stability is established then you can move on to the hard weights. But Suspension Training is no joke and you can get extremely fit with it.But as a start, simple suspension bands can start you off slow while you build till you’re doing some pretty amazing things with your body.Unfortunately, there are too many videos on suspension training to pick just one as an example. So, go to Youtube and take a look at what people are doing with suspension training (Searching “TRX workout” will get you a lot of good results.)
