Communication is not only what you say, it also the way you move. Here are few things you say to others by simple body movements:
Fiddling: Playing with your watch or a pen looks like you’re bored or impatient
Clock Watching: It looks like you’re anxious to move on to something else.
Tapping: Tapping your foot or fingers suggests you are impatient or nervous.
Staring: An unblinking stare conveys aggression
Legs Crossed/Body Hunched: Closing up your body profile —becoming smaller— looks like you lack confidence.
Arms Crossed: If you keep your arms folded during communication, you appear to be defending yourself against the others.
Touching Your Face: When you have your hand in front of your mouth, you appear timid.
Rubbing Your Nose/Looking Away:People who are lying often rub their nose or look away when speaking.
No Eye Contact: If you won’t look the other speaker in the eye, you seem to have low interest or a lack of confidence.
Supercooling occurs because water can exist as a liquid below its natural freezing point if it has no surface or seed on which to crystallize. That is, if there is no rough surface, impurity, or bit of ice to start the crystallization process, water can remain in a liquid state below 0deg Celsius. The inside of a smooth plastic bottle could possibly provide the right environment for this. When it is poured out, however, it encounters something in the bowl that it can form crystals on, and the process begins. Thus, you see the supercooled liquid water pouring out and forming ice instantly when it hits already formed ice crystals, hence the strange “snaking” up of the ice slush. It doesn’t all freeze (thus slush, not solid ice) because when water does freeze, it releases some heat in the process of crystalization (there is more energy present in water at 0deg than in ice at 0deg), and this probably raises some of the surrounding water to above 0 degrees.

Yesterday we posted an article comparing the difference between being prison and working. The article generated a lot of buzz and drove about 60,000 visitors to our website. We noticed an unusual amount of Digg users that mentioned the phrase “anal rape” or a similar phrase.
“Rape” was mentioned 40 times, “anal“was mentioned 23 times, “ass” was mentioned 44 times.
It seems that Digg users are obsessed with anal sex or at the least the phrase.
**Data is based on comments left on the post as well as comments on the Digg post.
It seems all the “cool” bloggers are doing it so why not me…
Here it is goes….
1. I’ve broken 12 bones to in my life and had 2 Surgeries…one minor and one major.
2. When I was 6, I told my mom I liked popcorn, so she bought me 10 bags of popcorn. I then went door to door selling it for a dollar a piece, I made my first 15 dollars (my neighbor tipped me 5 dollars for being cute). In high school, I sold mix cds to students for 5 dollars a piece (Using only a 2x cd burner).
3. I am an extreme sport enthusiast. When I am not on the internet, I Snowboard, Surf, Skimboard. These sports account for many of my broken bones.
4. I spend 14-16 hours a day staring at a screen, TV screen, computer screen, navigation screen in my car
5. I obsessed with the TV show “24”. After watching several episodes of 24, I think everything is a conspiracy. I actually believe David Palmer was real president. And almost cried when Tony Almeda died.
It’s not quite my biography but it’s a start… What are some things I should know about you?
