I would actually love to cover "Take the Box," but I'm unsure about choosing to do one of her songs so soon after her death.

Guys, I'm thinking of entering my school's Idol-type contest (it's actually a quite modest affair) in order to get over my fears doing something I enjoy so much in front of others.

"In 2002, 14 girls died when committee members locked them inside their burning school because they wearing proper headgear."

Actually, they both face the same direction, t's just that the Nazi one is tilted. It's also a Zoroastrian symbol and not the only thing Hitler misappropriated from the region (Iran is "land of the Aryans").

Haha, I was totally wondering if it's Halaal/Kosher.

Like others have said, it's something that varies from region to region, but also how much the individual thinks is appropriate to maintain modesty. I wouldn't even call what's in your image a hijaab, but rather a "dupatta" or "chunni", a long piece of cloth that's usually part of an outfit and when it public, can be…

Even though I'm all for providing info to all those who didn't grow up with this, I echo the sentiment about the headline being completely inappropriate. It is and always has been a respectfully solemn affair and I must admit, every time I hear "Going home" on the bagpipes, I tear up a little.

LOL, my nerdy best girlfriends (meant as term of endearment) actually used the graduations on the Diva Cup to graph their blood flow. :)

When you have curly-ish hair, brushing it only makes it look like poofy steel wool (in my case, anyway). I have naturally curly hair that I straighten a good portion of time (especially when it's super long, hip-level, like now). I pretty much only brush my hair when straightening section by section. Even when it's…

I'm not familiar with those commercials, but that sounds terrible.

Well, if you give to her sooner, she can probably put it toward some of her gift-buying. If not, then she'll use it at another time.

I just started grad school, so I can relate to the daunting aspect. But you know what? There are people there to help you and others in the very same situation, which is actually really comforting. Just remember that everyone there was in your position and soon after, you'll adjust too. I'm sure your department will…

Was it for an adult? The only reasons I can think of would be that it's an infant who probably wouldn't resemble the picture for long or perhaps religious reasons. I know they are people that believe that everytime you take their picture, you take part of their soul.

Biggest thing, but not the only thing. And it's definitely not set in stone.

I worked in a Circadian Rhythms lab for several years as a research tech during undergrad, and the light going into eyes thing is actually the biggest thing that helps set your wake cycle. It was for that reason I constant had to measure light levels during wake periods.

Depending on where you live, you can possibly get them done by any Indian or Middle-Eastern salon for cheap (like, under 10 bucks...under 5 for the places I go). Just be sure to go somewhere that caters to that community because it'll be cheaper, especially since thread doesn't cost very much and it doesn't take too…

While I'm concerned about the racial implications of this (especially since I belong to a culture where coloured eyes are almost fetishized and coloured-contact use is rampant), if it's proven to be safe, people can do whatever the hell they want.

It's amazing just how good exercise is for you. Earlier this week, I was actually at a conference (I'm a grad student in Biochem) and listened to a really interesting talk about the benefits of exercise for kids who had brain tumours treated with radiation (detrimental to white matter). While their sample size was…

He can call me "pet" anytime.

Probably around 20min, but that depends on day and time of day (obviously the metro passes less frequently either really early, really late or on weekends in comparison to work days). You'd just take the Orange line in the Cote-Vertu direction, switch to the Blue line at Snowdon and go to Cote-de-Neiges one stop…
