Whats the best way to change fork oil?

hi i have a 1981 xs 650 i want to change the fork oil in my bike it looks hard . i don't know how to put the bolt back in the top. with the spring pushing up on the bolt. its hard to get started back in .i put it on center stand to take off the weight. but it wont start. i hope you know what i am saying thanks to all for your help pop pop.Whats the best way to change fork oil?
Bike on the center stand

Floor jack under the front of the engine, to get the front wheel off the ground - that removes most of the tension of the spring.

I use a ';Sliding T-Handle'; - you can press down on the cap with both hands while trying to start the threads.

You can purchase one at any tool supply store - Snap-On is not necessary.



I put a Ratchet Adaptor in between the T-Handle and socket.

A Ratchet Adaptor is just a ratchet without the handle.

One side has a square drive for a socket, the other side has a female drive for a T-Handle.

It might be a little expensive for your needs.Whats the best way to change fork oil?
there is a screw in the bottom of the forks either under the axle or on the side of each fork .you will have to remove the drains you will have to remove the caps on the top of the forks but make shure the front forks and tire are off the ground if not the spring in the forks will slap you in the fase. as long as the forks are off the ground there will not be any tension on the spring but do not over fill get the ounces dealer recommends if you over fill you will blow the seals in time
yea, its tough to start the top spring bolt with the spring tension on it, and the threads are so fine and if you don't get it just right you will strip the threads

you have it right to take the weight of the bike off the front wheel, the trick I do is find something solid in the ground like a metal fence post that's in the ground with concrete and tie a rope, cable, or chain and tie the front wheel to it and have a friend pull up on the handlebars at the same time you push down and get the bolt started



see that hollow metal tube down inside the spring? its a 3/4'; tube, you can cut a piece of stiff copper tubing, or plastic water pipe and make the new piece 2 inches longer and it will extend your front forks by that much, that chopper look!, but the front suspension will be stiffer







edit: xxxdodge is INCORRECT

there IS spring tension on the top fork cap EVEN when the front wheel is off the ground!

there is spring tension, but not as much tension when the front wheel is off the ground

I read the whole question, I assumed you knew enough to have the front wheel off the ground.

xxxdodge didn't read the whole question, he assumed the person asking the question was stupid

College physics: error propogation using partial derivatives?

I'm not real sure about how to do this. For our experiment, we determined the spring constants for a bunch of springs several different ways: 1) F=kx, measuring the force mg on the spring and x, the change in the length %26amp; 2) finding the period and mass



So, for example, say that this was our data for the first method:

total mass: 0.149 kg (+ or - 0.002 kg)

x1: 0.14 m (+ or - 0.03 m)

x2: 0.38 (+ or - 0.03 m)

x2-x1: 0.245 m



Doing the algebra, k = (mg)/x. So our spring constant was 6.0 N/m. How do we factor error into this? For our x2-x1, how do we add up the error, or don't we? And how do you evaluate the expression he gave us for the error for k:



(delta k)^2 = ((partial deriv k/partial deriv m)(delta m))^2 + ((partial deriv k/partial deriv x)(delta x)^2



Not really sure what to do about the partial derivatives. Thanks for any help, explanations, or tips in advance! :DCollege physics: error propogation using partial derivatives?
First let's figure out the uncertainty in x2-x1. Let x=x2-x1

未x=sqrt((未x2)虏+(未x1)虏)

未x=0.0424



The general formula for error propagation is, as you stated above:

未k=sqrt(((鈭俴/鈭俶)*未m)虏 + ((鈭俴/鈭倄)*未x)虏)



To find the partial derivative of k with respect to m, just treat g and x as constants:

鈭俴/鈭俶=g/x

Do the same for x:

鈭俴/鈭倄=-mg/x虏



Now plug in the values for m, g, x, and their uncertainties into the equation above

未k=1.0352, or with sig figs 1.0

How can I find someone to spring tune my riding lawn mower (oil change, sparkplugs, sharpen blades, etc.).?

at my house in Keavy Kentucky?How can I find someone to spring tune my riding lawn mower (oil change, sparkplugs, sharpen blades, etc.).?
Look in your yellow pages under small engine repair or lawn mower repair. Ft.Knox, KY hereHow can I find someone to spring tune my riding lawn mower (oil change, sparkplugs, sharpen blades, etc.).?
you have a home depot where you live am sure.they will have every thing you need.new balds /oil/oil filters/and the gas solution for your engine.it easy try doing it yourself.good luck
no oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?that i know of
Do you have a ok person around you..., its alot cheaper to DIY or get a friend to do.... the oil will range from $2 to 5 bucks... airfilter around 10, to sharpen the blades can be done free or for a couple bucks, spark plug no more then 2 or 3 bucks. AND the used oil can be dropped off at a autoparts store. Most small engine shops will charge double or triple what you can do yourself.

How do i know if my strut springs are bad?

I am planning on replacing my struts on my 95 probe gt. The car isn't bouncy at all. It feels like there is no suspension at all when I drive. Every bump makes me grit my teeth and my sway links just broke. I see lots of questions about when to change the shock / struts, but none on the springs. Of course I'd rather just replace the struts alone because the springs would way more more than double the cost of this repair. Or by chance is it just the springs? What do you think?How do i know if my strut springs are bad?
grab the bumper and move the car up and down then let go. The car should bounce at max 1 1/2 times. If it bounces more than that then its time to replace them same with shocks. Also when you hit a bump, if it feels like you ( the driver ) is taking the hit, then i would do so. But be very careful when you compress the springs b4 taking off the strut. 1 wrong mistake could land you in the hospital. Other than that its a fairly easy job. Mark everything so you dont have to do an alignment as well. Springs dont normally go out.How do i know if my strut springs are bad?
Definitely sounds like it could be the struts only, and I'd bet replacing them would fix the problem.

But it might be good to go ahead and replace the springs at the same time if you plan on having the car for quite a while longer.
change the springs as well,on a 95 they aregoin to be shot !!
On a 15 year old car the springs are gonna be worn out and should be changed but they aren't what is causing the bad ride. Your struts are bad. You can get away with only changing the struts and it will ride just fine. If it was me, and I wasn't planning on keeping the car forever, I would just change the struts.
Test the shocks by bouncing the car. If the car comes to rest after a single up and down movement, then the shocks are probably OK.



If the car is low, the springs may be broken. Look at the springs where they sit on the strut cups. Sometimes you can see the fracture.
Springs hold the car in the air and struts or shocks keep the tires on the ground. What it sounds like is bad struts. To check springs, aside from the obvious like a broken spring the best way to check springs is measure the ride height of the car. With a tape measure check the same places left and right in the front and rear of the car. You may be able to find the specifications on line or from a local body shop. If all is ok do struts only. Just be careful and use a good spring compressor so no one gets hurt. When it's apart check the mounts/bearing plates too for wear or any roughness when you move them.

  • How to adjust drive speed to ';low'; on my honda hr214 mower?

    the drive speed is only on high how do i fix, i noticed when i move lever to low there is no change. is there supposed to be a spring on the lever that moves under the carriage to change the speed?How to adjust drive speed to ';low'; on my honda hr214 mower?
    If you follow the throttle cable all the way down to the carburetor there will be a screw, move the throttle back and forth and see if it is holding the cable and if not the just tighten it up it should be under the air cleaner that takes a flat head screw driver remove it and look at the cable it might be stuck in the high position. place it on low and loosen the screw and it should go all the way to the low position then tighten the screw and pull it all the way open it should go both ways if not then go to the parts house and get a new cable for the right piece of machinery you have and replace then put the air cleaner back on and your good to go.

    How to change my headlight on driver side. Specifically the connector.?

    I want to change my headlight on my 2002 mitsubishi galant. I cant seem to disconnect the connector as simple as it may seem. The owners manual is very vague. It looks like it's displaying arrow as to pull. I tried doing it and hard. I didn't want to risk breaking it. It also says after that to than remove the plastic ring and unlock the spring holding the bulb. How the hell do you disconnect the connector????How to change my headlight on driver side. Specifically the connector.?
    The headlight connector are normally quite tight so a little extra force is required for removal can use a small scewdriver for leverage, then turn plactic ring to undo then unclip spring retainer to remove bulb, hope it helps

    Golf gt tdi 130 want to fit my new rs4 18'; how much should i lower the car buy?

    hi all %26amp; thanks for looking ive just bought some rs4 18'; for my gt tdi...My spring etc need changing for a while %26amp; been told that 18'; dont look to cool without a drop on the suspension....however my days of 60mm drops is over...i drive allot I need to take a drop that will complement the car/wheel....any help would be great i was told just to stick 18t suspension on my car %26amp; with the 18'; it would look just right...i need the car to stay practical but look the biz thanks to all that answerGolf gt tdi 130 want to fit my new rs4 18'; how much should i lower the car buy?
    Depending on what size wheels and tires you already have fitted it is difficult to say how much the ride height will change. You will most likely find that with 18s on the car will be raised over the factory ride height.

    On Mk4 golfs you cant lower them more then 40mm ish before you start to get problems with the driveshafts and the anti roll bar rubbing. You can buy extended anti roll bar links which lower the bars out of the way a bit, i think a uprated ARB with lower links is around 130quid and will improve the handling of the car!

    Depending on the profile of the tires on your 18s you may have a bit of rubbing on the back arches to when you have mates on board, a good bodyshop will charge about 50-70quid to have the back arches pulled and rolled to allow more clearance.



    If you want to lower the car more than 40mm do it on coilovers not cheap springs. cheap springs are only good for making a car look lower but will not improve handling and can in fact make car drive worse. On a budget a 40mm drop on uprated shocks and springs is fine as the problem with changing just springs is standard shocks will wear out quickly and be very bouncy.



    hope this provides some help

    Do you think I'm pretty?!?!?!?

    Be honest. Also, do you think I'm pregnant? My boyfriend came inside me while I was ovulating. Do you think he likes me? He says he does, but he never calls or talks to me at school, and his Facebook relationship status is ';whatever I can get';. How can I lose 50 pounds before spring break without changing my diet or exercising? Do you think I'm overweight for my height? How can I get birth control pills without my parents finding out?

    wow! you have issues
    You probably are pregnant,i think he's using you for sex only and isn't your boyfriend,you can't lose 50 lbs fast,it take months to even years,and the only way to lose weight is dieting and exercising,i don't know if you're overweight for your height,check out your BMI,if you have to try to get birth control without your parents finding out or if you have to ask them for birth control,you're too young to be having sex.Rihanna should leave Chris Brown,abuse is a cycle,he does it once he'll do it again,no i won't do your homework,i barely bother to do my own

    How should I talk to my dad about this situation?

    Ok so I'm 16 and one of the hardest tasks I have to deal with right now besides drama and getting good grades in high school is my dad. My dad is an alcholic who drinks an 18 pack of beer in a 1 to. 1 1/2 day span of time. He has been doing this for now 3 years straight ever since my older sister went off to college 3 years ago. He is a complete embarassment because he is always drunk and never fails to make a huge scene for anywhere we go. When he's drunk he is very temterarive and any small thing u do wrong or any small thing to annoy him he blows up. For an example I had my music on a little to high and he then proceeded to stomp up to me and scream in mynface to turn it down and when I did he then gave me a 10 lecture on how I'm a ***** and how I'm inconsiderate and he doesn't understand how I have any friends. I've had this lecture about 100 and more times and even though it has completely ruined my self esteem I refuse to show him it hurts or even to cry. But it still bothers me so much. He also hurts me so much how he constantly yells at my mom and how he makes fun of her all the time. It also hurts to watch him pick on my brother telling him he's to girl or how gay he acts when he's only a 11 year old boy growing up and having fun. So basically that's wit he does - drinks sleeps and yells. He has no job and does absolutely nothing to help my mom. My mom does everything around the house and is the main supporter. So my question is how do I approach telling him how it hurts me?? I have once told him in the spring and he changed his ways for a week then went back to his ways which made me feel like **** that he didn't love us enough to stop. So yeah please help because I'm going crazy and I don't want to keep it bottled inside again where I go back into a depression and cut myself. So please help



    And yes I an the only one that has balls to stand up to him because I hate him so much he can't possiby do anymore damage to me cause I refuse to give into him and let him win. I'm a strong believer in standing up for wuts right and calling out and fighting against wut is wrong. Ik some might think it's wrong but to me it's a battle to fight against wrong and I wont let him win and I will do wutever to protect my family even if it means a screaming battleHow should I talk to my dad about this situation?
    hey man, sorry for your situation.



    theres alot you can do. One thing you can do si be very very aggressive with this and call the local police, tell them how he is treating you guys, and if you say you dont love him and if you mean that then if he gets taken away it would be better off right? ok, so you can also tell him straight up (assuming you never did this before) tell him i dont like you at all, be rude and make him feel it, make him really feel bad for what he is doing. there is no other way to come across to alcoholics then to be rude and abrupt. i dont want to be an asshole with what im about to say.. but just listen. tell him stuff like your a dirt ball that doesent hep out around the house, you treat us like ****, you look like ****, you act like a retarded drunken baby, you make everyone in this family feel like complete and utter ****. do this when he is the least drunk, whenever that is. one last thing you can do is go to your guidance counselor and ask for help.



    and, dont feel like crap!! dont listen and DONT believe what he tells you. you said you cut yourself, DONT! please dont!! its not your fault, your a better person then that.. really. never think this is your fault okay?



    i hope i helped, good luck man and you mind sending me a message sometime to see how its going for you.. but you dont have to if you dont want to.. good luck manHow should I talk to my dad about this situation?
    talk to him one on one as if he were your best friend...say dad we can talk as friends and not father-son...then go from there
    Talk to your mom about forcing your father into a rehab program. You should find an Al-A-Teen meeting so you can talk to other teens with drunk dads.

    Good Luck.
    this is so sad! it hurts to read, you need to get your dad some help. tell a school counselor or someone. comfronting him yourself is well....... scary. inless you can do it when he is sober
    You should confront him when he's sober. With your mother around of course to avoid any physical harm. He is being a terrible parent, so it is right that you stand up for your family and you. If things get out of hand, talk to someone about your problem (a relative...), so that they can help you out. I'm sorry to hear about this and I hope your father improves.
    It sounds like your family needs to have an intervention and tell your Dad just what he is doing to your family. If your mom is not willing to leave him and your Dad is too far gone to get help, the rest of your family should seek counseling. I would strongly recommend talking to your mom. Your dad is being verbally abusive, and perhaps physically abusive as well, and it is her job to protect her children from this.
    If your father will not go into a program and sober up you are going to have to reach out to a social service agency. It will take guts, no one wants to ';tell'; on one of their parents, but your families mental, emotional and financial health is at stake here. Call the national hot line http://www.pbs.org/wnet/closetohome/help and ask for help or referrals. Good luck to you and your family. Don't turn this in on yourself...get help asap!
    Sweetie, I can assure you that nothing you say will change your father. He is addicted to alcohol, and even though he loves you the best he can, the bottle will always win.



    Talk to your mother. Ask her what good he is? He doesn't work, he drinks and he abuses the family. What's in the relationship for her? Remind her that he is hurting his children, and the repercussions will last their lifetime.



    This is what I want you to do to help protect your family: Find and go to Al Anon / Ala Teen Meetings.

    Get your mother to go and take your brother. What you will learn is how to deal with this bully.



    Perhaps your mother will find the strength and support within this support group to force either an effort of recovery on your father's part - or a separation from him and the family till he does.



    Please do not self-harm. I know this is a hard battle. Be strong and know that there really is strength in numbers. Get to those meetings!



    God bless you. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

    I am sorry that you have to put up with this and I am sorry that your mother didn't leave when their kids were a lot younger. Here is what I hope for you. Never start drinking even if everyone else does because because problem drinking begins with the first drink. People like your father never plan to get into trouble with it but that is what addiction is. When you start to date find a person who is not into drinking because you don't want to end up with a mate who is like your father. What starts off less becomes more until it is totally out of control. Your wasting your time hating your father because he doesn't care and it only upsets you more. Arguing with a drunk is like shoveling sand into the ocean. You can do it forever and get nowhere. Common sense does not work with them. Ala teen is really a help and they can really give you some ways to cope with all this. Do not ride with your father when he is drinking. ALSO Always be able to support yourself. This is really important. Too many women ( I don't know if you are a boy or girl) end up in a bad marriage with too many kids and have no way to make enough money to be independent. Even if you marry well have a good education and be ready if you ever have to be on your own. I have been around this and have escaped the problems and you will be able to do the same. I wish you peace

    How do i fix a kitchen faucet with a reoccurring leak? (Sink / plumbing problem)?

    I have installed a brand new kitchen faucet about 3 months ago. It is a peerless and the hot a cold handles are separate from each other. My problem is the hot sides cartridge keeps blowing the bottom seal, the one that sits on the spring. I keep changing it but it only holds about a week. It causes a constant drip from the faucet. The only factor added to the equation was a dishwasher that was installed at the same time as the faucet. What would cause this seal to keep blowing?How do i fix a kitchen faucet with a reoccurring leak? (Sink / plumbing problem)?
    you need to replace the stem , seat and springHow do i fix a kitchen faucet with a reoccurring leak? (Sink / plumbing problem)?
    seems you have too much water pressure.go under the sink and slightly close the inlet valve,usually close to the floor.replace the seal and see if this helps.
    reduce the preasure of ur PRV on the water inlet to the house by turning it counter clockwise. This reduce the wear on the faucet. PS. peerless is crap
    Go to the peerless website and see if they have a fix for it.
    suggest to take it back while it is still under warranty

    Car up keep when you have severe life threatening allergies.?

    I need a few pointers. I am disabled from allergies.



    My older 2 sons help me when I need oil or need any of my fluids checked. And most of all my tires checked.

    ( Or I find someone at the gas station to help me.)



    I have a bad alergy to all Latex properties. I carry a EPI pen.



    I live in the mid west. We have very cold weather as of late. But it will be a heat wave at 40 this weekend.

    I need to know how often I need to check things.



    Two of my boys now work full time and have new ongoing lives. (as they should)



    How often should I have them come check my car? I do not want to harp or anything at them unneededly.



    I allways take my car in or have one of them change my oil each spring and fall. And well whatever else they do under the hood.

    If I drive more then normal I have them take a quick look at my fluids.

    Thank you all for the help.Car up keep when you have severe life threatening allergies.?
    Find a local mechanic that you trust.The kind that own their own shop.They also have latex free gloves,our lab analysts wear them for the City of Atlanta.Car up keep when you have severe life threatening allergies.?
    get your Car fully serviced every 8000 km or every 3 Month which ever comes first
    first of all , change your oil every three months or 3000 miles witch ever comes first... depending on how much you drive your car when you change your oil (on time) is a good time to check things out, other wise once every couple weeks if every thing is normal, if your having a problem with something check it more often and remember change your oil ON TIME EVERY THREE MONTHS OR 3000 MILES

    How do I stop sliding on ice and snow in 2005 Camry? Snow tires, all season tires, sand bags for weight?

    Chicago weather, car has extremely long stopping on snow and ice, ABS kicks in often but doesn't appear to help that much. Has original Goodyear Integrity tires, with a lot of tire tred left on them. It's a front wheel drive. Would it help to add weight via sand bags in the trunk? Tire options appear to be new All Season, which according to Consumer Reports would be hard to get one tire that handles well on snow and ice but stops well in dry conditions too. Can I put Snow tires on only the front wheels, then change them in the Spring? Any other options?How do I stop sliding on ice and snow in 2005 Camry? Snow tires, all season tires, sand bags for weight?
    Well, the Goodyear Integrity tires are your problem. Even when new this tire is horrible in rain and snow. There are probably a hundred or more tires you could buy that would do better. Now that they have some wear they certainly will not have improved. Oddly enough it is a very decent dry-pavement tire.



    Adding ballast means you are just trying to stop a heavier object. That ain't gonna make it.



    So-called ';all-season'; tires are not designed for nor rated for severe winter use. They are only acceptable in ';light snow'; by definition and moderate cold temperatures (above 45-deg F). Deep snow, slush, ice and sub-freezing temps are right out. Yes you can get all-season tires that will be an improvement over what you have, but it is only a matter of degrees. I always recommend for people who live in the snow belt owning 2 sets of tires; a summer-only or all-season set for use from April to October and a set designed strictly for winter use to put on from Halloween to Tax Day. That way you have the optimum traction all year round, not some comprimise that somehow has to work in 95-deg heat and sub-zero cold, ice and snow. No tire can do that.



    If purchasing winter tires they can only be applied in sets of 4, particularly on a FWD vehicle. People tend to think of winter traction as ';not spinning my wheels in my driveway'; when really it is a safety issue. And when it comes to safety your rear wheels are critical for vehicle stability. Put 2 winter tires on the front and 2 all-seasons on the back and I guarantee you will either end up in the ditch or slide into a curb.



    Winter-only tires are designed strictly for cold-weather use, ice and snow and thus do need to be taken off in the spring. In summer heat winter tires offer poor traction and wear at a phenominal rate.



    If owning 2 sets of tires does not work for you there is one alternative - the Nokian WR G2. This is the only ';all-season'; tire sold in North American that has the RMA symbol certifying the tire is rated for use in severe winter conditions. They work phenominally well in the worst of winter weather and don't need to be taken off in the spring so you only need one set. Not as good as the best winter tires in winter and not as good as the best all-season tires in summer but a damn good compromise and the only acceptable one I have ever found - but they ain't cheap.How do I stop sliding on ice and snow in 2005 Camry? Snow tires, all season tires, sand bags for weight?
    New Tires, Drive Slower or Dont!
    Snow tires would be the best option. You can put snow tires on a front wheel drive car. All four wheels would be best.



    Avoid the sandbags. Too much weight in the trunk could cause the front of the car to lift a little bit, costing you traction on the front wheels.





    Best advice: Just drive slow. Allow extra stopping time, don't drive if you don't have to.





    Good luck.
    Sandbags will make sliding and stopping worse. Look for ratings on tires. If you have the money, the best non dedicated snow and ice tires are Goodyear Fortera Triple treads.

    Don't put snow tires on two wheels. The axles need to be matched. It doesn't help to put them on the front if your rear end is going to slide. Save money of beer and video games. Not tires.
    buy better tires cooper m/s are great in the snow and crap...
    well you should have a 4x4 but you can also use snow tire chains and drive slow but not so slow its dangerous
    Snow chains
    You've already skipped by far the best winter tire combination, Nokian studded snow tires on all four wheels. Take it form an owner of studded snows and a front wheel drive Toyota, you'll be able to climb a wall.



    The next time you buy tires for your Toyota, go to: tirerack.com and open the word Survey under every brand of all season tires they sell. When you open Survey under specific all season tires you'll be shocked to see the disparities between models and brands. They test for ice, light and deep snow as well as 9 other criteria. Take time to see how terrible the Goodyear Integrity and all Bridgestone's are rated.



    Don't put weight in the trunk of a front wheel drive car. All you do is lift needed weight off the front end!
    Well you could put snow tires on the front only, but that's not really a good way of doing it. If you put snow tires on you should put them all the way around. Snow tires on the front will only keep the front of the car on the road and no sliding, while the back will spin and slide. More control with four then two. And safer!
    Tires are the things that are giving you traction on the ground, so this should always be the first to be addressed when driving in the wintertime. I can tell you from experience that All Season tires are not the way to go if you want any sort of traction in anything that is more than light snow. You need to be using dedicated winter tires in a place like Chicago. And if you're gonna buy winter tires, get them for all four. Many retailers will actually refuse to sell you just two brand new winter tires. Consider a set of brand new studded tires or even chains on your existing front tires if the city of Chicago permits them. Regardless, I would not drive around Chicago with just a set of All Seasons, which really is only good for occasional very light snow, not heavy snow or very slick roads.

    Weight in the trunk is only helpful if the vehicle is RWD since that is where the drive wheels are.

    Take it easy on the roads. Are you using low gear?
    SLOW DOWN !
    Alot of these people seem confused. agh! Sand in the back will not lift up the front but it wont really help you front traction. SNow tires will help but if you dont put them on the back they are not gunna spin like that idiot said becuase there is nothing on the drivetrain tryin to spin them. But it will help you brake better.

    Goodyear eagle gt all season tires have really great treads.

    If you have to uprgrade the wheel to a wider tire. But that will cost alot because wheels can be expensive.
    snow tire will help in the snow but there is,nt too many vehicles can go on ice.

    How hot should my computer get in the summer?

    i live in Bishkek Kyrgyzstan. The weather is starting to change from winter to spring and the temps are way higher than they were in winter. It gets to about 70 over here. My computer today, got up to 45 degrees Celsius. the only thing that i was doing was playing call of duty 4. Is this normal? My friend told me that it is good to put a fan right next to the computer so that it blows air right into the side of the computer. Would this be helpful? DO you know any other ways that you guys cool down your computer? answers right now would really help. thanks to everyone who contributes!!!!How hot should my computer get in the summer?
    fans help a little.

    cooling pad is the best option

    but 45 degrees is nothing to be alarmed about. it's ok don't bother yourself over it.

    How should I choose a new hair cut?

    I want to change it up for spring, but the possibilities are so endless I don't even know what to do.



    I've always liked my hair longer, (it's prettier in my opinion, and it's almost like a security to me) but I am sick of being the same all the time. I want to have more volume and body in my hair, because it gets kinda flat if you let it grow too long.



    My hair is straight, very fine, but there's a ton of it. I literally break ponytails on a regular basis because I have so much hair. I'm not much into bangs, but I'd be willing to try them. One other thing is, I don't want to look too much like my mother. We are already quite similar, and her hair is cut into a short bob, so I can't do that.How should I choose a new hair cut?

    My cat seems to be displaying some behaviour problems?

    My cat has always wanted to be around us when we are outside, to the shop and he often follows me around from room to room when he's in but for the last year (although not during winter as it's too cold) he doesn't really want to come in and cries at the door sometimes for hours and he won't settle down at all and will cry and pace up and down (and he's already be neutered - 2 years ago!).



    He's had one bad experiences, he went missing for 3 days at 6m as tiny kitten (he's always been a small cat) before a woman found him and looked after him and contacted me as soon as she found out my details. I also had to go abroad twice and left him at home with neighbours who love him and he displays signs of loving them too but when I got back he was hostile and aggressive towards me, he often displays signs of being ';down'; when I have to go away overnight I am told. After a change of furniture and spring clean in April he got worse again and I can't remember how my cat ever was before all of this.



    At first I thought he was bored (yet he doesn't want to play) and needed to go out to the toilet etc. as he won't go to the toilet in a litter tray, he insists outside and last month is the first and last time in 2 years he has used it. So I let him out whenever he wanted but there has been a new cat in the area I believe and he keeps fighting which has left me with hundred of pounds in vet bills and him with nasty wounds. So I now keep him in during the evening til mid morning.



    I've had him from 6 weeks old and have always picked him up and stroked him but for some reason he hates it, wriggles about, cries and scratches although we have a house that pretty much suits him and I can't understand why he is hostile, aggressive towards me (but no one else), unaffectionate, unsettled and jumpy. Apart from the new cat on his territory I can't understand why he'd be stressed, especially indoors?



    I was wondering if anyone else had the same problems? Or if they found any solutions?My cat seems to be displaying some behaviour problems?
    have him checked for Toxoplasmosis-humans can catch this from cats and it looks like mental illness

    http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/brochuresMy cat seems to be displaying some behaviour problems?
    Well..cats have their own mind..and choose whether or not to love..the get upset, sad, sometimes even go through depression!

    I think the changing furniture was a bad idea! Not only because he's marked it as his territory, but also it has a scent of you on it. Cats, if they don't get to see you often, need something that has your scent on it. Like a security blanket! It makes them feel safe and more at home. Maybe he's grumpy because you don't exactly smell the way you use to. You don't really have his scent on you.

    My cat, Brownie, Does the same thing. I've moved away from my mom and he has to stay inside.. I see him occasionally if I have the time, and when I see him he bites me, scratches me, and gets really rough! He constantly rubs on me, and when I try to leave he'll wrap his paws around my leg and bite my pants, as if he were trying to pull me back.

    And my mom tells me he really misses me?! He'll have his ears back, and wagging his tail the whole time I'm there. Unless I'll stay there for an hour just petting him. Then he'll settle down enough and relax.

    Long story short, he misses you. He wants your attention; good or bad. Spend time just laying with him if thats all he'll let you do. It will take a lot of pateince and hard work. It may be weeks before he settles down. Persistance. Let him sniff your hand before you pet him next time, if he snaps, don't continue to pet him. Just talk softly to him.

    If he washes himself in the spot you just pet him in, don't be offended. He's just getting your scent down.
    Sounds like he needs the companionship of another cat. Get your cat a kitten, Then they will both be happy kep inside away from harm from, disease, and injury

    A DREAM FOR SPRING

    This book is a some what true story and is dedicated to my good friend Emily

    Believe In All Possibilities





    As I lay in my bed I think of my mother who was once so fragile and full of energy. I listen for a sound .... but nothing. I stare at the ceiling and ponder to myself “ is she going to die tonight or will she live another day , another day of pain and worry” . Only if she could be okay ,but in my mind I knew she wasn’t. I want to let myself understand that she’s not always going to be here but I’m only nine and I barely even know my times-tables. I should go back to school but I’m too scared that she’ll have a heart attack or just suddenly you know die. It’s too much to bear I just love her too much , I know I have a dad but he is as my friend would say a big butt. If my mom ever died I would lose it. I can’t ever imagine her dying she is just so perfect , perfect like an angel. It’s about six o’clock now and I can barely keep my eyes open but I am trying my best .Since my mom has gotten sick I have been sleeping beside her . One night I promised myself I would always stay by my mom so if she ever did die I’d be right by her side. My mom is always the person to cheer you up If you were ever sad she’d be right by your side telling you everything’s going to be alright. That’s what I love about my mom. She’s so caring and that’s how I know she loves me since she always tries her best to make me happy. My dad well he doesn’t really do much, it’s mostly my mom because he doesn’t do anything she says . I don’t know what I’d do without her. I would just be so lost without her by my side .By the time it was morning I had fallen asleep and my mom was already up and making breakfast which made me relieved that she wasn’t somewhere in the hospital. I get myself up not really wanting to but I could smell pancakes which made my brain just magically wake up. I run downstairs ready to give my mom a huge hug.

    “Good morning mom. ”

    “Good morning Emma , how was your sleep?”

    “I slept great.”

    I tried not to show I was lying because I didn’t want my mom worrying about me too much .I was already not going to school which made my mom super worried.

    “You must have , because you slept for thirteen hours”

    I looked at the clock and realized I had only really slept for seven .

    “Emma I have to go to the doctors today so I will be dropping you off at Katrina’s okay?”

    Katrina was one of my older friends but her sister Lia was only 2 years older than me .

    “Okay mom”

    After breakfast I had to get ready to go. I quickly picked up a shirt off the floor and ran to the car . My mom was waiting in the car. During the ride I pondered to myself why did she need to go to the doctors so early ,she usually went during the weekdays but it was Saturday . The curiosity ate away at me and I just had to ask.

    “So mom why are you going to the doctors?”

    “Because they called me and said they have some test for me to try”

    I ‘ve heard this so many times before but it never works out and then my mom gets all disappointed and all depressed and stressed.

    The rest of the ride was silent and eventually I arrived to Katrina’s house which made me a little worried that my mom was going to be alone at the hospital , because my lazy big butted dad was always out .the rest of the day I was some what worried but some what calm . I think it was because I had my friends by my side. My friends are the best toriis the caring one . When ever you need a hug shell give you one . Katrina is the wise one , if you ever need any advise you should go straight to her. And Lia well you just need her because she’s a good friend but sometimes she can be pain in the rear end if you know what I mean. Later on we went for a walk .it was quite for a couple minutes but then we started to talk.

    “Were are we going ?”

    Lia always ask too many questions but on the other hand so do I.

    “How am I supposed to know”

    “What Katrina means is there is no destination ”

    “im so bored cant we do something”

    “hey Emma maybe we can camp out on your balcony, wouldn’t that be so cool”

    “oh yeah that would be so awesome except were no where near Emma’s house torii”

    “so we could take the OC”

    “yahhhh.........No ,Lia use your brain we have no money so how are we supposed to get there”

    the rest of the walk was silent until we got back to Katrina’s house. When we got back and we opened the door a stench so strong bursted through the door and man did it ever stink it smelt as bad as Ernie does when...what am I saying he always smells. Katrina’s mom had made dinner for us but when we say what she had mad we all decided we wereHow do you think i should end my story?
    big tip break your paragraphs up a little more. people hate long dragging paragraphs you should separate them into descriptions in one, thoughts in another, and then obviously you know how to write dialogue. i'm going to read it and then edit this when i'm finished.

    How much aquarium salt should I put in a 1 gallon bowl with my betta?

    I have a Betta fish which I keep in a 1 gallon of water in a vase. I do a full water change about once a week with bottled spring water. My fish recently came down sick and I am treating it with medicine but I heard aquarium salt should be added to the water to help speed up the healing process. How much do I add? Do I just add some every time I do a full water change or just when he's sick?How much aquarium salt should I put in a 1 gallon bowl with my betta?
    the reason your fish is sick is because of his living conditions



    Get a tank filter and a heater a minimum tank size of 5 gallons will be fine



    You never change all the water and you never keep them in a vase bowl cupHow much aquarium salt should I put in a 1 gallon bowl with my betta?
    no do not add salt only time you should add salt is when you got a heater in it and that would be a half tea spoon then and that is mainly for ich
    You should get regular eating salt and about half a teaspoon is ideal
    none..



    people don;t realize there is a little salt in your tap water already

    Tannin suggestions ?

    i am real pale, and graduation is coming up ( its not quite spring yet, just changing) but i would like to know how to get a perfect tan - WITHOUT burning . i dont really tan much , usually i just burn. and it really sucks. any suggestions ? and how long should i lay in the sun so i dont get burnt?Tannin suggestions ?
    I'm also very pale with light blue eyes and blond hair. I burn easily, and tan slowly.



    There are some very good, low cost, self tanning products that work gradually to give you a natural looking tan without turning your skin ';orange';. I use Jergen's Natural Glow, as my regular moisturizer, about every other day.



    The self tanners used with some of the mineral bronzers, give a very healthy looking natural glow.



    The website below lists the 5 top self tanning products, however, I've found the spray tanners to require a lot of cleanup from the over-spray (spray that misses your body).



    http://teenadvice.about.com/cs/toppicks/Tannin suggestions ?
    if you want a tanning bed start out no more then 5 minutes and use a spf of about 4. do that for a couple of weeks and see what happens.
    Go tanning every other day and start out going for about 4 minutes and every time you go add another minute. If you get a little burnt it should turn into a tan quick. Also use tanning lotion it will stop you from burning as bad.
    use a self tanner, such as the jergens gradual tan lotion- no sun damage/premature aging!
    self tanner from neutrogena or jergens

    Hooke's Law Question?

    When the block is pulled out to x = +4.0 cm, we must apply a force of magnitude 360 N to hold it there. We pull the block to x = 11.0 cm and then release it. How much work does the spring do on the block when the block moves from xi=+5.0 cm to (a)x= +4.0 cm, (b)x=-4.0 cm, (c)x=-5.0 cm, and (d)x=-10.0 cm?



    I've tried working this and I get it wrong. Does stretching it to 11 and back to 5 change anything with the spring constant or does it just make 5 = equalibrium?Hooke's Law Question?
    The equilibrium point is x = 0



    The two equations are:



    F = -kX

    E = (1/2)k(X^2)



    where:

    F is the force

    k is the spring constant

    X is the displacement

    E is the energy



    You are given F for X = 4 so you can compute the spring constant.



    Given the spring constant, you can compute the energy in the spring for each displacement.



    If you assume no friction, any difference in the energy in the spring is either given to or taken from (the kinetic energy of) the block.



    The only reason x = 11 is mentioned is to explain how the spring got to x = -10. You can ignore it (the answers would be the same whether the spring were pulled to 11, 12, 20 , etc.)



    Response to addendum:

    You can choose any units you want. If you want the spring constant in newtons/meter, then it would be 360/.04. If you want it in newtons/cm, then it would be 360/4. As long as your units of force, distance, and energy are consistent, it doesn't matter which set of units you use.



    But as MKS is getting more popular and CGS less, I'd go for MKS all the way, which makes your spring constant 9000 newtons/meter.

    http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/cgsmks



    Here's a site with a spring constant experiment. Look at their displacement, force, and spring constant values:

    What do you think of this as a tattoo? *picture included*?

    I'm thinking of putting it on my left foot, starting with the little man (a Kokopelli) right by my pinky toe and curving the letters up the side of my foot.

    The Kokopelli typically is a trickster, he's also a symbol of fertility and change. The Kokopelli traditionally would dance through a city playing his flute to bring the change from winter to spring/summer. I thought by using the image of a Kokopelli and the word dream I could represent how I'm finally changing into my own person by following my dreams and not just allowing myself to settle for the life other people have mapped out for me.

    I'd do it all in black ink and keep it rather simple.



    *fingers crossed that this link works*

    http://twitpic.com/okogiWhat do you think of this as a tattoo? *picture included*?
    I love the design! But I wouldn't get a tattoo, I'd copyright it and make a bunch of shirts and hats to wear. :DWhat do you think of this as a tattoo? *picture included*?
    Wow, I love it :) Very original.
    that is kind of cool i have never seen something like that before. hope this helps
    Very interesting background information. What culture is it from? And i love the idea of a Kokopelli, although it may become rather marred if its near the bottom of your foot.
    I think if you want to get it, then get it. But a lot of people get a kokopelli.
    I absolutely love that idea :)
    I think it's fairly awesome. The kokopelli has a long and interesting tradition, and takes many forms throughout a variety of cultures. I want to say Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling have a collection of trickster tales. It's a good book. I think you've got a very well thought out and meaningful tattoo, and it's a symbol that a lot of people will readily recognize and appreciate. Go for it!
    I really like it, but it's more important that you like it, more so, love it! it will be on your body forever. Good luck, again, I quite like that, very original.
    Be ready to explain what it is a lot. I have 2 Kokopelli on my ribs and a lot of people don't know what they are. They're cute and if you want it then go for it.



    Personally, I hate mine and can't wait until I have the money to cover it up.

    Question about a guitar-set up!?

    After changing the strings on my guitar (Electric), I've been having problems with the bridge. The strings are not too tense, so obviously i did something wrong. Whenever i tune to standard, my bridge is being pulled out of the guitar. I tried adjusting the springs in the back, but it does very little to help.



    So I've heard about people getting their guitars set-up. Does this service include adjusting my bridge, changing strings, adjusting/adding springs and adjusting the action? Also, how much does this usually cost?Question about a guitar-set up!?
    Sounds like you put heavier guage strings than before. the extra tension is cuasing the bridge to lift up. First thing you can try is adding some extra springs in the trem cavity. The neck truss rod, which is what the other guy is talking about, should be adjusted by a professional who knows what they are doing. Screwing the truss rod in one direction or another too much can just make things worse if your not totally sure what you are doing. Getting a set up done does not cost that much at all $30 give or take and they will take care of all that stuff for you. Your guitar will be playing better than ever.Question about a guitar-set up!?
    add springs thats what i had to do when i changed my strings

    I know I'm not all the way prepared, and I just thought about this, but, I know what I need. I just wonder how many that are in Y-Q%26amp;A - Pets - Dogs now are prepared and if you know what all you might need.



    And, if those that are prepared might share with others what a good preparation plan and supplies would be in their opinion?





    IT's Spring! Don't forget to change the Batteries in your Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Detectors!How Many are Prepared For Dog Trauma and/or Medical Emergencies?
    I am fully prepared. I just restocked my dog med kit and have everything I hope I will never need. Just took a refresher course on dog CPR too.



    Did the battery thing when the time changed to daylight savings.How Many are Prepared For Dog Trauma and/or Medical Emergencies?
    I don't think that many are. CPR and first aid should be required if you have a pet. So many things can happen, and there isn't an ambulance and pramedics to come to render aid.HOW TO GIVE YOU DOG CPR



    Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation, or CPR, as it is called, is a version of artificial respiration that includes assisting the HEART to BEAT. The purpose of CPR is to keep oxygen moving to the lungs and blood circulating throughout the body. The directions contained here APPLY TO DOGS. While these instructions may be good in an emergency, it is wise to check with your VET to establish the procedure that is best for your DOG.



    How To Administer CPR



    If your DOG is NOT breathing use a finger to clear any mucus or other objects from the mouth. TILT the head back to straighten the airway passage.



    Hold the mouth shut with one hand, and place your mouth over the DOG'S nose and mouth making sure the seal is tight.



    Blow into the nose while watching to see if the chest expands.



    If the chest DOES NOT EXPAND start over again by clearing the mouth. If the chest DOES EXPAND release your DOG'S mouth so it can exhale.



    Repeat the breathing procedure once every five (5) seconds until your DOG is breathing normally, or until your Vet or other Emergency technician is available to begin treatment.



    IF YOU CANNOT DETECT A HEARTBEAT YOU MUST PERFORM ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IN CONJUNCTION WITH CARDIAC RESUSCITATION.



    PUT your DOG on its right side. PUT the heel of your hand on the ribcage just behind the elbow. PUT your other hand on top of the first hand.



    Firmly press on the ribcage in quick, smooth movements. Depending on the size of your DOG press down 3-4 inches using both hands. The compression should last no longer than 1/2 second. The smaller the DOG the fewer inches of compression and less force are needed. At all times try not to damage the ribcage.



    Repeat this procedure a total of 10 times.



    Then, if your DOG is not breathing, perform CPR as described above.



    Alternate between the chest compressions (10 in a row), and one breath into the DOG'S nose.

    If I take online classes now, can I change my mind later and actually go?

    I want to take online classes right now, to keep my job.

    Later on I might want to actually start going.

    Can I just transfer or how does that work?



    I will be taking classes online for CU in the spring if I do decide to do this.



    and one more question,

    is an online degree the same as a real one?

    im going to be taking classes to help me persue a career in counseling.If I take online classes now, can I change my mind later and actually go?
    If you enroll in an online program at a college or university that also has campus locations that school should use your credits towards a degree if you choose to attend in person at a later date. Transferring credits from one school to another becomes a bit more tricky regardless of whether the credits were earned online or on campus as some colleges do not offer credits for classes they do not offer themselves. But there is no added difficulty transferring credits from an online program as long as the college is regionally accredited.



    Based on what you say in your question I would think an associate degree program might be a good fit for you. Associate degree programs typically require half the credits of a bachelors degree. They therefore typically take half the time (2 years) to complete but there are some accelerated programs that let you finish even quicker than that. The nice thing about associate degree programs is that at the end you have a degree that looks good to potential employers and if you choose to go back to school or continue your education at the end of the program all of the credits can be used towards completion of a bachelors degree.

    This site has some good information on regionally accredited colleges offering associate degree programs online:

    Good Luck!

    If I take online classes now, can I change my mind later and actually go?
    At my university, online classes and in-person classes were separate - taught by different professors, covered material at a different rate, kept separate class rolls. It was not an option to just start showing up halfway through the semester - it was a different class.

    New and unusual spring?

    For Part 1, I got that W=kx^4. I don't understand how to get the correct answer. Could someone give me a hand.

    And for Part 2, I understand that springs are conservative forces, but I thought that since it was some wacked spring, it might somehow change the conservative nature...could someone explain to me why it doesn't...



    You just discovered a peculiar spring which follows the force law F = -Kx3. K is a constant and x = l - l0, where l is the stretched or compressed length of the spring, and l0 is the unstretched and uncompressed length of the spring.



    How much work W is done on this spring when it is stretched by an amount x from its relaxed position?



    ANSWER: W = Kx4/4



    Which one of the following statements is correct?



    (a) The force of this unusual spring is a conservative force.

    (b) The force of this unusual spring is a non-conservative force.

    (c) Not enough information is given to determine whether the force is conservative or non-conservative.New and unusual spring?
    It has to do with energy. The spring stores energy, which makes the force conservative. There is no energy lost outside the system, is the other test to tell if conservation applies.



    The previous answerer noted that the W is the integral of the Force. That is true in all cases where forces are conservative. F*d, for a constant force is the integral of a constant over a displacement. F is function of x. For a spring that has force k*x, this is a function and the integral is .5*k*x^2. You will learn that as long as the force has a functional relationship to the displacement, it is conservative. When I state functional, it must meet the mathematical tests of a function. With calculus, which Sir Issac Newton invented to explore physics, you will be able to manipulate the force energy relationship on more complex forces.



    In the first part of this problem we have

    F=K*x^3

    the definite integral from 0 to x is work over that displacement

    W=K*x^4/4



    __________________-New and unusual spring?
    The integral from 0 to x of ( Kt^3 ) is Kx^4/4

    Everything you need to know is on this website.Can you change the front air bag suspension on a 1994 lincoln Continental to just plan spring?
    you can not change the air bags because the suspension of that particulat car was set up for air ride...if you change the suspension you will also change all of the stock alignment angles that the car was designed for and you'll end up chewing up tires....

    You sure can. I have done three. There is a coil spring conversion kit made (I think by Monroe). I have bought them through NAPA. Seem to remember cost about 3-4 hundred bucks about 6 years ago.
    Sorry, can't help...eveyone I know is looking to take out the springs and put in airbags,
    Yes, Lincoln srut or strutmasters make kits, But if you want to go low buck go to the upuulit %26amp; get taurus or sable parts, they should blot right on.

    This is related to the marble launcher problem, posted earlier.?

    When a spring is pulled back at a certain Constant distance, can the amount of force added and how fast you pull it to the distance, change the force that the spring exerts?This is related to the marble launcher problem, posted earlier.?
    No.



    E=1/2kx^2, where x is the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position. This elastic potential energy is then converted to kinetic energy with E=1/2mv^2.



    so we have



    kx^2 = mv^2



    v = sqrt(k/m)*x



    Where v is the speed, k is the spring constant, m is the mass of the object you're launching, and x is the distance you stretch the spring by from its equilibrium position.



    As you can see, this equation has nothing to do with how fast you stretch it or how hard you stretch it. The only thing that matters is the amount you stretch it by.

    How can i trust Paypal anymore?

    Paypal is totalling screwing me over about a rebate I should have received of $15 when you buy something for $30 this past Spring. Apparently they CHANGED the conditions after the promotion had run. This is even documented on a page on ';The Consumerist'; website http://www.consumerist.com/consumer/paypal/paypal-restricts-eligibility-for-15-off-30-rebate-237729.php

    I just withdrew $2100 I had sitting in my paypal account BECAUSE I DO NOT TRUST PAYPAL ANYMORE.

    Waited for four months for the rebate and now I have had to call twice and still not resolved. BEWARE! Here is a company that knows it has a stranglehold on payments made for Ebay auctions. Get your money out of your paypal account as soon as u can after someone sends u money!!!

    THEY KNOW THEY CAN JERK YOU AROUND AND THEY WILL!!!How can i trust Paypal anymore?
    That is really a shame. I've had an issue or two with Paypal, but they've always been great at resolving them. I guess I've been lucky!How can i trust Paypal anymore?
    PAYPAL sucks!! I was totally ripped off and they didn't help like they're suppose to. I ordered these really expensive Chanel glasses and I got TOTAL fakes from China of all places. I went thru th e whole complaint process and all PAYPAL wanted to do is have the seller pay back half of the money. PAYPAL sucks and I have never used them again. And becuase they're owned by Ebay I haven' used Ebay either!!
    I did the same promotion, not sure specifically when, and quite a bit of time had passed before I got my $15. I think the fine print said something like 6-8 weeks, but it was much longer. I actually discovered it by accident after I forgot about it.



    I've hated Paypal for years due to linking it to a bank account they tried to clean out way earlier this decade. Check out these sites for more info of what they've done to consumers:

    Evolution Theory or not?

    Now I know it is called a theory but, don檛 we have proof of it that we see every day, look at strawberries. Naturally strawberries are smaller than a blueberry. How is it now the size it is. It is a larger size because of genetic engineering. Genetic engineering still proves evolution because the plan adapts to the shock and the change and grows without problem. We are a prime example we had to adapt during the ice age, and when the world heated back up. Look at how birds and animals are pulling out of hibernation early because the weather has changed so much that spring came earlier. It doesn檛 have to be a dramatic change to be evolution and adaptation to environment. Another thing is that we have proof that humans had a lot more hair than we do now is that not adapting ? just some food for thoughtEvolution Theory or not?
    There is a rare moth which has a long snout, it only drinks from a specific type of plant where the nectar is deep within the flower. The moth has adapted through time to drink from this particular plant - it's effected it physically and the way it behaves. Like you say about humans losing their hair, there are many many instances of animals behavior which correspond with Darwin's theory of Evolution.



    Why many people believe in a snake and an apple is beyond me. Sometimes people rather have faith then be scientific. Science hasn't explained everything yet.Evolution Theory or not?
    Of course evolution is a theory
    The definition of ';Theory'; in science in different.
    No matter how much you prove it, it will still be a theory. That is the definition of scientific theory. Gravity is also a theory, and although few realize it, it is actually less understood than evolution.
    First, most of the things you mentioned aren't evolution. Some of them are the lack of it leading to problems in animal behavior that could lead to their extinction. Anyways...



    A ';Theory'; in science is something to which all available fact point to as correct.



    Evolution is a theory. Certain aspects of what we think of when we say ';Evolution Theory,'; are just hypothesis. It's important to know which are which. (Actually, I guess it's not really. It doesn't affect anything in your life at all.)
    It is a theory just like gravity. In fact, it has a lot more evidence for how it works than gravity.
    It is only referred to as a 'Theory' because all of it's mechanisms are not understood yet, and they are still being studied. Like the Theory of Gravity.
    You are speaking of microevolution. Changes within a species. Creationism doesn't have an argument with that. Microevolution has been proven.



    Macroevolution however is the issue, which is what the whole debate is about. Macroevolution is about one species turning into another. Like a fish into a bear.



    That has not been proven, so I would have to say ';Not.';
    Complete fact
    The scientific definition of the word ';theory'; would be the correct definition, and doesn't lessen the value of what the theory is about. All working scientific studies are ';theories';. Sammer was correct in his definition of ';theory'; being: ';A 'Theory' in science is something to which all available fact point to as correct.'; That's what it means in the scientific world.



    The Christian use of ';theory';, no. They warp the use of the word to suit their own purposes.

    That's a good question, though.
    Catherine E really gave a succinct answer.

    how to change a rear coil spring for a ford ka 1.3 collection 52 reg.Mechanics please tell me.....?
    Never work on that type of car but, most fords you have to drop the rear supision to even get to the springs, basicly a couple of nuts and it should come apart but with new springs it hard to get up, I need two more hands.Mechanics please tell me.....?
    I HAVE NO IDEAL, TAKE IT TO A MECH.
    hi.i would recomend you drop the rear sub frame a little and get yourself a pair of spring clamps which will close the springs as you tighten them up for you to take them off the car. then repeat what you did to put it back.

    if its a v6, have fun. you probably have a coil over each plug. remove that coil and the spark plug is right beneath it.if u have a v6, youll need to remove the brackets between the top of the engine and the front of the car and pull the whole motor forward with a ratchet strap to get to the rear 3 plugs.Does anyone know how to change spark plugs on a 99 grand am?
    Knowing the engine configuration and size would be helpful.
    You shouldn't have to rock the engine to get to it...like others said, you might have to remove the coils to get to it. If I were you I'd spend the $20 and buy a Haynes manual for your specific car, it has loads of helpful info.

    How can I change the time of month my period falls.?

    Every year my period falls on spring break. This year I have a big trip to Florida planned, and I was wondering if there was any way I could move the weeks around that my period falls on?How can I change the time of month my period falls.?
    Usually your period rotates on a 28-day schedule, so if you start on the 1st one month, you'll start on a different day the next month. You have the option to go on the pill, which will put you in control of your period. People are saying to get pregnant, but I strongly suggest other wise. A bad way to alter when your period will happen is if you get stressed out, you aren't eating a balanced diet, and you're not sleeping enough. It's a very VERY bad way to alter anything. Just see your doctor and ask to be put on the pill. Along with this, it can clear up your skin, increase your bust size, and balance your mood.How can I change the time of month my period falls.?
    Get pregnant. You won't have your period at all.
    You can't.
    if u stress ur body out or u excersie very hard u can delay ur period by a week or so.





    but there is always the old fashion way of gettin pregnant..lol
    good luck with that!
    stop eating can cause that
    You can go on the pill to stop it altogether for that time. Using it for more than 5 years can be harmful, but if you start using it a few months before, and stop taking it after you get back, you'll be fine. The pill stops your period you see; that's how it stops you from getting pregnant, but it can be prescribed to girls to regulate their periods. Your best bet would be starting on the pill now and staying on it until your trip is over.

  • How does the night time sky change from the beginning of winter to middle to end?

    and how does the night time sky differ in winter compared to summer?



    are the constellations unseeable that were observed in winter night time sky in summer? (assuming in northern hemispherer?



    how about Spring and Autumn night time skies.



    please describe and explain.



    Thanks for your answers~!How does the night time sky change from the beginning of winter to middle to end?
    The Earth takes 24 hours to rotate around once. And there are 12 months in a year. So, if a season is 3 months long, then you can see all of the early evening night sky for the whole season in just 6 hours of watching on a single night. Just start in the early evening early in the season.



    Of course, this ignores how the length of the day and night changes, and the movements of planets, asteroids and satellites and meteor showers.How does the night time sky change from the beginning of winter to middle to end?
    For simplicity let's start in the summer. As the summer season lengthens, most stars and constellations will move gradually southward, just as does the sun. This apparent movement continues into winter when some of the stars and constellations will be close to or below the southern horizon. At the same time stars and constellations that had been farther to the north in summer will now be more overhead. As winter lengthens, the whole movement reverses and objects begin moving norhtward.
    The earth rotates in 23h 56m, so as the day is 24h, stars rise 4 minutes earlier every day. That's 2 hours a month, so the sky you see at 11p.m.on 1 November is the same at 9 p.m. on 1 December, 7 p.m. on 1 January and so on.

    If you continue this calculation, you'll find that later in the year, those same stars will be in the sky during the daytime. So no, you can't see the winter stars in the summer, because the sun is in the way!

    Where can i buy rice paper for spring rolls in sacramento, ca?

    How to make rice paper rolls



    These soft, uncooked rolls make a refreshing change to deep-fried spring rolls. Nutritious fillings including noodles, shrimp, fresh vegetables and aromatic herbs are wrapped in delicate rice paper sheets and served cold with a traditional dipping sauce. You can prepare these rolls up to 4 hours ahead and chill them in the refrigerator, covered with a clean dampened dish towel to keep them moist, until you're ready to serve. These rolls can also be steamed or fried.







    Soak the rice noodles







    Soak 1 oz (30g) dried rice vermicelli noodles in boiling water for 5 minutes. While the noodles are soaking, mix together 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon superfine (caster) sugar, 陆 teaspoon salt and 1 clove crushed garlic in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves. Rinse the noodles under cold water, drain well, then cut into 3-inch lengths.



    Prepare the fillings



    Finely shred 1 cup of Chinese or regular cabbage, grate 1 carrot, finely chop 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (coriander), and thinly slice 1 scallion (spring onion).





    Mix together ingredients



    Mix the noodles, prepared dressing and vegetables together in a bowl until thoroughly combined.



    Put a tablespoon of the mixture on a rinsed and dried grape leaf



    Soak a sheet of rice paper in a large shallow dish of hot water for about 15 seconds, then drain well.





    Place the fillings on the rice paper



    Delicately place the sheet of rice paper out on top of a clean dry dish cloth. Place 2 tablespoons of vegetable and noodle mixture towards the lower edge of the rice paper (as shown in picture). Next, place 2-3 precooked shrimp on top of the mixture.



    Fold over the bottom edge of rice paper



    Neatly fold the bottom edge of the rice paper over the filling.





    Fold in the sides



    Then fold in the side edges of the rice paper.



    Roll up



    Roll up the rice paper roll to form a neatly packed cylinder (like a fat cigar). Repeat the above process until you have made 8 rolls, or enough to serve 4 as an appetizer.





    Serve with dipping sauce



    Arrange the rice paper rolls on a plate with Nuoc cham dipping sauce to serve.

    Land rover series 2 1961 4 wheel drive?

    I have just got a land rover and don't know if its in 4 wheel drive or how to change over. there is a spring loaded lever with a yellow top. it pushes down and springs back, I think it has to do with the 4 wheel drive.Land rover series 2 1961 4 wheel drive?
    Liek the man above says to get out of 4 wheel drive, pull the high low( red lever) towards rear of the vehicle then push it towards front of vehicle. the yellow lever should jump up. To engage 4 wheel drive, fully depress yellow leaver so it stays down. But 2 wheel drive is not available in Low Ratio unless you haf free wheel hubs. Old Land Rover must haf free wheel hubs to be safe, otherwise fron propshaft UJs wear and can drop propshaft on to road and if front end drop can cause severe danmage, rip out gearbox even turn vehicle rite over.

    Dont buse 4 WD on dry road otherwise transmission will wind up and can stall vehcul when you turn but at least gearing same front ant bak no like Subaru Legacy.

    I haven't driven a Landrover in years... Have a look at: http://www.difflock.com/diffmag/issue21/
    2 ensure its out of 4 wheel drive, pull the high low( red leaver) towards rear of the vehicle then push red leaver towards front of vehicle. the yellow leaver should jump up. 2 engage 4 wheel drive, fully depress yellow leaver so it stays down. ensure if vehicle has free wheeling hubs, that they are in locked position otherwise the front wheels wont drive. the f.w.d is not available with low range selected. do not drive with f.w.d selected on hard surface or damage will occur
    indeed, that lever is for central diff. lock. before u drive the lr on dry tarmac ask a qualified mechanic for proper servicing. u may ruin the driveshafts and / or the transfer case.
    you're right - because all of those land rovers series 1, 2 and 3 (now the 'defender') were four wheel drive. i used to have an early 60s series 2, and that lever is for engaging the four wheel drive.

    How do you change your outerwear for the sims 2 seasons ex.pack?

    When I made my family it was in the winter so I gave them winter-type outerwear, but now its spring and I don't want them wearing them anymore.. I bought a bunch of new ones for them but when I click on the dresser it doesn't give me the option to plan a new outfit for outerwear.. Is this even possible? Please tell me what to do or any help would be great :)How do you change your outerwear for the sims 2 seasons ex.pack?
    You can't make your Sims dress in outerwear from mid-spring onwards. The weather is too warm for outerwear.How do you change your outerwear for the sims 2 seasons ex.pack?

    How to write a thesis for my comparison essay?

    I am writing a comparison essay on spring and fall and having trouble with my thesis.



    This is what I have so far: Many differences occur during spring and fall including the changes in life, weather, and length of each day.



    Can someone help edit this for me? Thank you.How to write a thesis for my comparison essay?
    A thesis should pin point exactly what you are trying to prove in your essay. Are you really trying to prove there are differences between Spring and Fall? You should be more specific. Try to include something in regards to the nature of these differences or the significance of them.



    You also wrote your sentence wrong. If you want to compare spring and fall you need to say the differences are between them. Here is a possible re-write:



    ';Spring and fall bring about contrasting occurrences, including changes in ones lifestyle, in the weather, and in the length of each day';

    Should I change myself for them or not?

    My brother is graduating high school in a few weeks so my family is coming here. Im dreading it! Since the last time they saw me they have treated me different. usually when im going to see them I change who I am so I fit there standards but last time I said screw it! And I walked around in my Enjoi shirts with my blond and sometimes red bangs. I didn't try covering my girly voice at all and spent 30 min on my face each night. I was stereo typical gay as I am at home. My home family just ignores it but my other family is too old fashioned for that. They acted like I was a freak. My grandpa gave me a long speech of how if he was like me when he was a kid he would have gotten the belt non-stop. That's his way of saying get new cloths and cut your hair! Im not going to be seen with this punk. . I got a lot of talks on how I seem gay and how that's not right from everyone. I was the freak of the entire town it seamed. I got weird looks and it was just in general not a good experience.



    Usually I get out my T-shirts and cut my hair when Im around them but I look horrible like that! I usually change how I act too.Since spring break when I last saw them Ive dyed all around the bottom of my longish black hair blond. I always wear my Domo wrist band and a few bracelets. I wear nice cloths and my panda shirts. I act even more like a girl. Ect. So changing will be even harder.



    So now Im debating on change or individuality. I Want them to continue liking me but I want to continue liking me too. Its hard to change who I am but if I don't Im a freak. IDK what to do here and need some advice. Im going to be going back with them and spending a lot of my summer in that screwy town and in Arkansas/Missouri with the rest of the family in small screwy towns. So whatever I choose its going to stay for a few months. So if you have any advise please share!Should I change myself for them or not?
    Ya know it just depends if you care to make the effort to get along. I know it sucks, but these are people who may never accept you as gay. Geez, go ahead be the freak of the town and enjoy the attention. Have fun with it, you know.Should I change myself for them or not?
    Hmmm..I'd have the talk with them. I'd do it when you arrive and just be serious. Do it once and do it right. Tell them how you feel and if they cannot handle it, you won't be visiting anymore.

    How do you use dashboard on the mac?

    I've never used dashboard before and I'm trying to set it up. I have the leopard mac by the way.

    So I downloaded a bunch of widgets from apple.com like the Time Scroller and Countdown. But how do I change the settings on them? For example how do I add more cities to Time Scroller and change the Countdown to days until Spring Break? Do I have to go to a website because I'm trying to double click on the widget but it's not working.

    Thank you!How do you use dashboard on the mac?
    You do not need to go to a website. Most widgets have a button with an ';i'; when you hover your mouse over the widget. Press the button and usually the settings will open.How do you use dashboard on the mac?
