The age-old question, “Am I well hung?” Well, before going on to see where you stand, or should we say hang, remember that size isn’t everything. Most women prefer a man with a less then average penis and great at cunnilingus, to a man with a larger penis and no skills. Furthermore, you should never worry about your size; it will only lead to anxieties and potentially a variety of sexual dysfunctions.

If you are racing forward to find out what the average penis size is to see if you are ok, stop. Read the first paragraph again. The purpose of this article is not so that men can come and see if they are “big enough”, it‘s purpose is to satisfy curiosity, and to reiterate to all the self conscious males out there that size is not everything.

One of the reasons that men are so self-conscious about this has to do with illusions. When men are in the locker room, they can’t help but glance around the room to see how they measure up. Unfortunately, there is a very different angle looking down than across the room, so men become paranoid that they are too small. Also, a man’s limp size has very little indication to his erect size. Furthermore, most men start getting paranoid about it before they have finished growing.

That being said (hopefully not ignored) penis size consists of two components, length and circumference. Although most studies in this area vary slightly in the findings, the average erect penis length is 5.5 to 6.5 inches, and the average circumference is 4.5 to 5 inches.

Penis Length

Your erection length is defined as the linear distance along the dorsal (top) side of the erect penis, from the mons veneris to the tip of the glans. In non-medical jargon, your penis is measured in a straight, or for some arced, line on the topside of the erect penis, from where your belly meets the shaft to the tip of your penis. Take multiple measurements over the course of a few days and then average the values. Since your erections can vary slightly depending on your level of arousal, mood, room temperature, and even the duration since your last sexual encounter, averaging out a few measurements will let you get a more accurate read.

Penis Circumference

Penis circumference is defined as the linear distance around the widest part of the erect penis. Whether you use a piece of string or a fabric ruler, you should wrap it around the widest part of your penis, one time. If using string, make sure it is not stretchy, and mark the string at the correct spot and then measure the portion with a ruler. As with penis length, this should be done over a few days and the result averaged out. Read the rest of this entry »

Antidepressants can cause memory loss. So can stress. Do not under estimate how medication and stress can affect a person.

I don’t know why a physician would say this. Many things cause memory problems. There is the possibility that he is exaggerating his memory problem. Especially for his age.

Here is why I believe him. I can’t remember anything. (particularly things I do with people or stuff that other people remember)….but I do tend to remember the jist of things when I am reminded. My family and friends use to make fun of it…and once thought I made it up. But alas after many years like this…everyone accepts it.

It can be treated to some degree. Particularly if your relative is still depressed. Depression can suck life and memory from people. So treatment can help. But don’t doubt his sincerity. I wish more than anything that I had a better memory.

Have him write down things. Keep a journal…or a calendar. It will help. But he may or may not improve. It just tends to be worse sometimes…and this may be one of those times it is worse.

I live in that world. Believe me…I don’t like it but I live with it fine. I am finishing graduate school….and I am smart still. Just don’t remember what other people do. He is not alone…and there are others like me…

Smile about it…and one other thing…tell your relative to find another doc. That is ridculous. No professional would say someone is lying. He is a quack.

There are a large number of anxiety disorders, but there is at least some chance that you have Social Phobia (the term “social anxiety disorder” is being phased out). The best studied treatments for Social Phobia are medications like Zoloft (not every medication will work for you, however), certain psychotherapies (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT is the most studied), and behavioral therapy (flooding or systematic desensitization).

No one treatment has consistently proven any better than any other, and it would certainly make sense for people with more severe symptoms to start with more than one category of treatment, while those with less severe symptoms may be okay starting with just medications, or just behavioral therapy. Remember to ask your doctor about NON-medication treatments as part of a comprehensive plan.

Obviously, there are other, more basic remedies, like massage, meditation, relaxation techniques that I won’t discuss, but are possibly helpful and probably harmless, so they are worth looking into.

As always, discuss these and any questions with your doctor.

Eating Less Calories than you Burn each Day.
Eat anything less than what you use each day (1500 cal BMR, 250 cal digestion= 1750), consistently, and you will lose weight. So, if you eat 1200 on this day (a 550 calorie deficit), and all week long like this, you will lose 1 pound (3500 calories) in about a week.

Exercising More
Keep your caloric intake the same (1750) and create your deficit by burning extra calories. So, if you burned 500 calories through exercise alone, you will still lose 1 pound in about a week.

A Combination of Both Diet and Exercise
This is the most effective way to lose weight and keep it off.
Say you cut your calories by 300 and burn 250 calories with exercise. There is your 550 calorie deficit—with much less deprivation and work.

The penis is capable of lengthening and increasing in overall size during sexual arousal. The longest fully erect penis (scientifically validated) is 12 inches (30cms). The smallest normally functioning penis ½ inch (1.3cms). The average erect penis size is around 6 inches.

This comes under transfer pricing where by some time back the Japanese were accused of dumping(selling products at discounts) their products world over. They argued that they were not dumping but ‘transfer pricing’ their product such that they priced for each market according to the elasticity of demand of the product in each market. Let me work out the mathematics.
E is elasticity, P price, Q quantity, * change in, Pi profit, R revenue, C cost., MC marginal cost, m markup.
then, E = (*Q/Q)/(*P/P)
*P/*Q=P/E.Q————–1
Pi = R – C
dPi/dQ=P+Q.dP/dQ – MC
substituting 1
= P+Q.P/E.Q – MC = 0
= P+P/E – MC
ie; P(1+1/E)=MC
ie:P(E+1)/E=MC
ie; MC x m = MC x E/E+1
there for markup m = E/(E+1)
So this markup is used in each market according to the elasticity of demand in each market which is given by E for each market. This can be used to markup products in local markets too.

Many times I see someone write I was just browsing a web site when all of a sudden I had a virus. I have yet to see a web site download something that can be a virus without the browser giving a warning. Assuming you do not download anything, do not allow any extensions or active-x controls to be installed, etc., what can a web site do that can cause a virus? Don’t the latest browsers, firewalls, and antivirus programs stop automatic downloads? Wouldn’t someone have to install or download and run something to get a virus.

I know that Java applications download automatically. Is that the method that is used? Can a web Java application operate outside of the web page?

Many people don’t update Windows. Internet Explorer has more holes then Swiss chese. An un-patched IE is vulnerable to many browser exploits some of which require NO intervention on the part of the user.

Just this month (April) Microsoft issued an emergency out-of cycle update in Windows that addressed an animated cursor (.ani) vulneribility that affected both IE and Firefox browsers. One would only have to visit an infected website with their Windows un-updated in order for their computer to become compromised.

Another imfamous hole in Windows was in Jan. 05. It was discovered that a specially formed .wmf graphic could infect a computer simply by viewing an e-mail. Microsoft (eventually) issued an update to patch this .wmf vulnerability, but there are millions of un-updated computers that still have not applied the patch even today.

A fully updated Windows, however, makes these browser exploits fairly rare.

IMHO, most malware does require some sort of user OK. The average computer user has no clue about computer security and will click ‘Yes” or “I Agree” to anything and everything a web-site asks them.

The Smitfraud infection epidemic has survived for going on 3 years now by tricking the naive, the noobs, and kids to click on what amounts to a download of a trojan.

The many variants of Smitfraud often gets installed when someone goes to view a video at a “not-so well-known” website. The website will say that a “special” codec is needed to view it, and asks to download it to him. If he allow the download, he will NOT be downloading a codec, he will actually download a trojan called Zlob.

The internet is indeed a nasty place and the scary thing is it is no longer pimply faced adolescent males writing malware for fun. A modern day form of vandleism, if you will.

Now it’s all about making money. Perhaps Eugene Kaspersky, founder of anti-virus maker Kaspersky Labs said it best, ” It’s a different world today. 10 years ago, we were fighting against smart kids who hacked as a hobby. Now, we’re dealing with criminal gangs that control your computer to make money. Different world, different protections.”

The correct answer is…none. These miracle paints/primers that supposedly eat away or turn rust into a different compound are essentially worthless, and you’ll end up with more rust later. The only sure way to make rust go away is to sand/grind it to bare metal, smooth the surface, contour with body putty(only if needed), primer, and repaint it. Catch it now before it eats deeper into the metal.

As ashwani suggested try to boot up the computer using an old win98 boot floppy or the win 98 boot cd from where you chose not to install windows but to go to a command prompt
at the command prompt write:
fdisk
then press enter
in fdisk press 4(then press enter) to see how many partitions you have and how they are numbered(something like 1 nondos partition)
then press esc to go back
then press 3(then press enter) and chose to delete that nondos partition
putt the Win XP install disk in the cdrom
reboot the computer and boot from cdrom and the XP install will take care of the rest(this will leave you with only one partition)
P.S. if you have more nondos partitions delete them all
and first of all before you begin make sure you backup all of you documents and important data(to a cdrom, zip drive, etc)
