Question : Do you own a Baking Stone?
Do you like it? Would you recommend buying a branded Baking Stone or do you use an alternate (cheaper) brand or ceramic tile? Thanks for your answer.
Answer:
My friend Chris was cutting slabs of granite for a project and asked me if I wanted one. Was I going to say no?What's the difference between my stone and an expensive labeled one?The fancy one has finished edges! Who looks?Ceramic tiles work - so do a few bricks!.

Question : In an alternate dimension would five Slices of Kimbo KO Fedor, Lyoto, GSP, Wanderlei, & Stone Cold?
It'd be quite funny to see that many Kimbos walking around, haha. BQ:Imagine if Kimbo Slice rang you doorbell, and then quietly disappeared? What would you do? BQ: Do you think you can finish a bottled water faster than Kimbo?
Answer:
In this alternate dimension; do the rules of physics apply? Is it a bizarro dimension where everything is reversed (if so, Kimbo would be a good fighter) and finally, do aardvarks rule the world?

Question : Does drinking frequently help to speed up the metabolism?
I'm starting an alternating fasting diet and someone has warned me that this will really slow down my metabolism....but don't regular drinks keep it going?I know the ideal is to eat 6 small meals per day but in reality - this rarely works for most people as you just end up thinking about food & what you're going to eat all day (ie you become a diet bore).I have 5 stone to lose.Ok thanks. If I exercise more on those days - perhaps weights, it should have a good effect.
Answer:
The water does boost your metabolism, esp cold water. Your body has to burn calories to heat up the cold water, I've read research saying that if you drink cold water before a meal, it will boost your metabolism up to 30%

Question : Alternatives for learning languages other then Rosetta Stone?
I dont want to pay £300 to learn a language. Anyone have any paid alternates? I find the free ones are absolutely useless.paid alternatives guys. I want to buy a instructional cd/program/whatever.Also I am interested in most languages but Japanese and Italian interest me the most
Answer:
Many students have self learned Spanish with Rosetta Stone, but they have mistakes that is hard to correct, because all time they were thinking in that way...I should suggest you to do online.I am not into the languages you prefer most but I do teach Spanish online, works good for the students and my prices are very affordable. http://immersionspanishschool.blogspot.com/http://www.teachstreet.com/teacher/immersion-spanish-scho ol

Answer:
It's pretty much impossible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time - making muscle needs a lot of energy, so you can't do both.However, I'm guessing you work out at home? The problem is that you haven't got anything heavy enough to actually make muscles grow - if you can do more than 12 reps of an exercise, it's too easy to build muscle. As such, I'd recommend focusing on fat loss, for which your current workout is pretty good, although I'd recommend throwing in 30 minutes of running a day.As to whether you'll lose weight or not, it's a question of whether you're burning more calories than you take in. Since I don't know the quantities you're eating, I can't help you here - there are quite a few good free calorie calculators online, so have a look and find out how many you're eating. Also find out your maintenance calories. For you, I'd recommend eating maybe 200 calories less than your maintenance calories, and you should lose a lot of weight.Protein shakes are only really helpful for giving your diet a protein boost if you're not getting enough from your diet, but in your case I don't think that's a problem, so I wouldn't bother.Hope this helps

Answer:
I have heard nothing negative, only positive about Rosetta Stone. It is fast and simple I would suggest using it.

Question : What means a trail of leafs, one dry one fresh alternating, it ends in a spiral of flowers?
In the center of the spiral was a dead fruit and a white stone
Answer:
Times of trial and times of triumph, the cycles of life and of death, that which has passed has yet to occur, that which will be has already happened. The parts are the same, merely the players change. The beauty of nature, being able to possess the potential to be alive and dead at the same time. Is there perhaps an aspect of yourself that you are trying to ignore? For instance, perhaps you anger easily, learn how to use anger constructively, use it to spur yourself to new heights (passion). Anything can be used for either creation or destruction, it is your choice which way the leaf falls. As for the withered fruit and stone, they are merely possibilities. The fruit which should spring new life from such a beautiful start (the flower) has died. However, by its death, the fruit shall become earth, which will be used to grow new life. The stone which was born of the flame, now crumbles to a pebble. And yet it is white, the colour of possibilities, purity, it is on its way to become something new. Have hope for things are never entirely lost.Good luck!
