RomanceRe: An Open Letter To Nigerian Girls And Ladies by spora(m): 6:29pm On Sep 20, 2007
Nice post.

But guess what?

They know more than what you post here because they have been hearing them even before my mama was born.

But they will never follow it. Do you want to tell me they don't go to church?

That is why they are what  they are : weaker vessels.

Apologyy, but that is the truth. [s]Did I hear somebody say they are gullib******* [/s]

I can however conclude from how/what you write the level of your education. That you dont know the reason is a plain lie. You simply want his money and/or promotion.

HealthRe: Can You Marry Someone With Offensive Body Odour? by spora(m): 11:33am On Sep 15, 2007
Bad breath and BO are two things I detest most in a woman.

I can support her if we can find solution to them. If not I can't just help it.

But I have come to notice some of these problems can be overcome with determination and common personal hygienes like:.

a. Shaving the hair in the armpit and the koko
b. Wearing perf and fragrances
c. Taking bath as many times as possible in a day.
d. Brushing the mouth after each meal
e. Wearing cloth once (you wont believe that some people wear a shirt, blouse, pants and undies, two-three days)

However, I learnt some are inborn. May God help us!
HealthHow To Get Into Shape By Doing Less by spora(op): 6:03pm On Sep 14, 2007
Posted by Debbie Rocker (www.debbierocker.com)

http://health.yahoo.com/better-in-2007/strut-your-stuff/sys2/9/get-more-by-doing-less

All too often I am told, “I’ve lost 40 lbs. and kept it off by walking an hour to an hour and a half a day, but I still have 20 pounds to go and can’t seem to lose any more."

Usually, I find that people who have lost lots of weight, and kept it off for a long time, have followed a particular eating plan and added a regular exercise program to their lives, too.

It works – it really does. But everyone forgets that adaptation, our body’s natural way of searching for a homeostatic condition, are striving to balance the energy (calorie) input with energy (activity) expenditure and eventually, you stop seeing results.

My suggestion is to shake up your program. You can even do less, and get more, if you do it right! First of all, look at your diet and reevaluate.

Try eliminating some of those pseudo-healthy, diet-conscious snacks and condiments like: dried fruit or fruit rolls, meal or protein bars, protein shakes, nuts, bottled or canned juice, low- and non-fat breads, crackers, and cookies, low- and non-fat salad dressings, fake butter and cream cheese, non-fat frozen yogurt.

It’s better to use a little real butter or salad dressing than think your imitation butter is saving you calories or fat and then use a lot of it. They are usually just as high in calories and full of artificial additives – not helping, not healthy! And instead of walking an hour or more a day - walk less and do it more efficiently by varying your walks.

Add intervals, hills, and different surfaces which all cause your body to jump up and say, "Hey, what’s going on? We need to get into training mode and figure out what she’s asking of us?" It takes more energy for your body to do something new than to do what it has been conditioned to do.

So, on days one, three, and five, walk for 35 minutes instead of 60 or more, but walk more intensely by doing 10 sets of two-minute fast paced walking intervals with a one minute recovery period. For two minutes pump your arms and really push your pace so that you are walking as fast as you can, break into a jog or run if you’re feeling it, then after two minutes, recover by walking moderately (don’t stop) for one minute.

Start your workout with a few minutes of walking easily to warm up, and end with a gentle cool down. On days two and four, walk for 45 minutes and get into the hills. Find some hilly terrain (doesn’t have to be extreme – just enough to feel it), add several sets of walking up and down stairs, or get on a treadmill and use the incline setting to go from one to five (or higher, if you can do it without having to hold on to the treadmill while walking).

Spend at least 20 minutes working the hills. On day six, do your 60-90 minute walk but vary the terrain. Walk at the beach, on a trail, or on a treadmill for an hour or more.

On day seven, take a day off and rest. Doing less of everything, more efficiently, may be just what you need to get your body back into 'getting results for you' mode. Refine your training every few months – keep it fresh and stay in the best shape of your life.
ComputersHp Deskjet D2360 Driver For Windows Vista by spora(op): 10:33am On Sep 10, 2007
I recently bought this HP DesJet D2360 but have not been ale to use it due to non availability of its driver for Windows Vista.

When you attempt to instal it and Vista is detected as the OS, you will be presented a website where you can download the driver for Vista. Unfortunately, the driver (HP Vista SF Ph1) will be download up till like 66% and inform you that it could no longer download the software. Sometimes, it informs you, you dont have the permission to access the server.

There was even a time the download process was competed but I got a message that the file is corrupt in an attempt to install it.

I have used several methods all to no avail and I am sure the problem is not with my Internet connection.

Anybody with a solution please.

PoliticsState Police: To Be Or No To Be by spora(op): 7:30pm On Sep 04, 2007
There is a need to revisit the issue of State Police due to the recent occurences in the country.

The supporters of this idea are basing it on the fact that:
1.  A policeman of the state origin will be well equiped with information while carrying out his duties.
2.  They are also of the opinion that issues of police brutality will be checkmated, since they will not want to unncessarily subject their kinsmen to untoward hardship.
3.  The State Governors will be empowered as Police Commissioners will be answerable to them.

However the antagonist are of the view that the force may become a willing tool at the hand of the State Governor who may deploy them to fight his political opponents, amongst others.

However with the resurgence of criminal acts and insecurities in the land, which one do you support : The Nigeria Police Force or the State Police?

Huum,

Easier said than done, judging from the egotistic nature of man (and woman)

Very hard to see a man than will want to be a glorified houseboy. Very hard to see a woman that will want to provide easy money for a "useless" man to spend on his girlfriends and his God-forsaking families.

May be there are, May be Not. But it takes the grace of God [s]and a lot of anointing[/s]
