Medical Myths Busted

Among the myths busted, BMJ notes that:

  • Sugar does not cause hyperactivity in children.
  • You don’t lose excess body heat from your head.
  • Eating at night does not make you fat.
  • There is no scientific evidence that you can cure a hangover.
  • Shaving does not cause hair to grow back faster, darker, or coarser.
  • Reading in dim light will not destroy your eyesight.
  • You don’t need to drink eight glasses of water a day, so save yourself the bloat.

Extra Money Online

As some people have already discovered, if you have some spare time while online, you can sometimes make a few extra dollars by filling out online surveys.  Some are just scams, and some will re-sell your information to telemarketers, so you do need to be careful who you rust with your information.

Survey sites I have gotten money from already:

Opinion Outpost

Valued Opinions

Your2Cents
Survey sites that give you chances at winning sweepstakes or other prizes:

SurveySpot

Surveys.com

MarketSurveys

Nielsen Net Panel (the same people that do TV Ratings) - Surveys, and an app that lets them keep track of websites you visit for ratings purposes.

Color Blindness Test

How to Use this Test:

The original card version of this test (by Dr Shinobu Ishihara) was designed to be carried out in a room adequately lit by daylight. The presence of direct sunlight or artificial light may produce some discrepancy in the results because of some alteration in the appearance of shades of colour. This electronic version may also produce some discrepancies as the images have been optimized for web-based delivery and with a monitor resolution of 800×600 and 256 colour display or greater. The results of this test are not to be considered a valid medical test for color blindness and merely serve to illustrate the tests available. If you have any queries about your own possible color vision deficiencies consult your local GP. Position yourself about 75cm from your monitor so that the colour test image you are looking at is at eye level, read the description of the image and see what you can see!! It is not necessary in all cases to use the entire set of images. In a large scale examination the test can be simplified to 6 tests; test, one of tests 2 or 3, one of tests 4, 5, 6 or 7, one of tests 8 or 9, one of tests 10, 11, 12 or 13 and one of tests 14 or 15.

Wizards of Winter

Mad Russians Christmas

Christmas Canon Rock

Faith Noel

Queen of Winter Night

Remove Old Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware Software

Often whenan anti-virus program expires, or fails to stop an infection, you will need to remove it to install a newer version.  Many people at this time run into the problem of their old software being corrupt and not removing.  Some anti-virus vendors supply useful “removal tools” for their software, but are often very difficult to find and sometimes require calling the company and waiting on hold.

If you REALLY need to remove an anti-virus or anti-Spyware software off your machine for whatever reason, it just got a little easier.

AppRemover is an all-in-one  removal program that lets you easily remove old, corrupt,  or broken Anti-Virus/Anti-Spyware programs.  It will also let you remove Symantec Anti-Virus from machines without having to dig and find what password you used during the install.
