Visual Migraine. I get these a couple times a year, but only recently found this site with the amazingly-accurate flash animation.

Ok so I have this huge table of survey data - much of it numerical, much of it binary, some of it from selections from menus of text items (e.g. blue, green, orange etc). Where do I start to find the most noticeable relationships between variables?

I am beginning to write articles for publication as well as starting with my doctoral dissertation. I am looking for a bibliography manager that will be compatible with Microsoft Word for Mac or OpenOffice for Mac/NeoOffice (these document formats are necessary since many journals require .doc submissions, so no LaTeX recommendations).

Do Not Resuscitate.
"For families facing the impending death of a loved one, few topics trigger more anguish than the Do Not Resuscitate order... There is little ambiguity in a DNR order: Emergency medical staff must withhold CPR and other life-reviving treatments if the patient's heart or breathing stops, allowing death." But, DNR orders aren't always cut-and-dried. There are many
situations that complicate the medical professional's decision to comply. Related: Some people have opted to get a
"D.N.R." tattoo, but others have wondered if it will hold up in court as a legal directive.

"Over and over he scoops up a chick with his left hand, expels its droppings with a squeeze of his thumb, opens its vent with his fingers, peers through the magnifying lenses attached to his spectacles and determines its sex." It's a
dirty job (YT).
Sexing chicks early is important so that the cockerels can be separated and culled
^ or fed to be broilers
^. The
obvious differences take weeks to develop, so when the vent sexing method was developed in
Japan in the 1920s,
professional chicken sexers became sought after.

The Power of the Penis
[YouTube],[NSFW]. I'm sorry for making my first post ever a single link YouTube post, but this Atlanta Public Access TV clip is the most educational video I have ever seen. Alexyss Tylor hosts a show on 'Vagina Power 'and 'Penis Power' with her mother. It's about 9 minutes of true insight - women, don't let men hit the bottom or use their penis as a weapon! Separate the love, the orgasm, and the penis, OK? Make sure he buys you the shrimp plate though!
