I bought a Fender Telecaster, and now I don't play any video games at all, because the guitar is actually productive. I can play songs for myself, friends etc. It's a much better expenditure of cash to do something creative, instead of something passive like a game. Music will even help you unwind, and will stimulate new areas of your brain. I stopped playing my basses because I moved across the country and hadn't found anyone to play with, and so I entertained myself playing videogames. I realized that it's really kind of anti-social, sitting in your house on the computer, so I figured I'd better start playing music again. Now I'm in another band with several new friends, that I met thru a music want add.
What would you rather do - sit at home playing video games and being a slug, or out with your friends making music, etc. Who knows - your band might even play out - it's a great way to meet people, especially the opposite sex.
And no, Guitar Hero does NOT count - it's just DDR on your fingers, it has nothing to do with playing an instrument.
She was responsible for one of the assassination attempts on Pres Ford. A secret service agent saw her acting oddly, went over to check her out and was close enough to prevent the shooting by STICKING HIS FINGER between the guns hammer and bullet, thus preventing the bullet from firing. Sara Moore, a five time divorcee, and Patty Hearst fanatic, was responsible for the other attempt, just 17 days after the first one. Her aim was deflected by Oliver Sipple, a gay ex-marine, who never received a thank-you from the president, until Harvey Milk protested that. Mr. Sipple eventually committed suicide.
Brakes usually aren't the limiting factor in slowing a vehicle down. larger brakes won't slow a vehicle down any faster - why - because usually it is a function of tire grip. Most any vehicle can lock up its brakes and skid. Larger and better brakes won't help anything to slow down faster, it will only help prevent brake fade.
As to large trucks slowing down faster than cars - LOL. Yes trucks have larger contact patches, but they weigh oh so much more (80 tons fully loaded and 10 brakes only- not 18), and have a higher mass to contact are ratio than do cars (2.5 TONS AND 4 BRAKES) - which means longer braking distances. General quoted stopping distances for a truck are about 40% longer. http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truck_facts.shtml #
The murine (mouse) immune system is very simliar to the human one, not unlike the pig cardiovascular system which is the model for the human one. Obviously, if this works, this would be a monumental achievement. After RTFA, it seems that the inflammatory response must be halted for this to work. People who have had diabetes for a long while have had their islet cells destroyed, and probably won't benefit from this - the new cases and younger people will.
Well, there's no Federal regulation concerning the disposal, and most states don't want you to send it down drains after it's been USED in engines - from the metal contaminants picked up from the car. Since it is biodegradeable, we figured it was ok to do.
Please people -let's try to stay on track, and not degenerate into evolution/religion flame wars. Slashdot is about nerd news - science, computers, etc. Evolution falls into that, and should be discussed here with the concept of that it is an accepted scientific process. If you wish to dispute that, please go to another website, where evolution is not accepted.
Now on topic, those little mouse sized mammals really were the shock troops of mammalian invasion forces - they seemed to be pretty successful. I wonder how much different the climate was back then when they were around.
Drain ALL the pipes after shutting water off at the mains. Leave all faucets open, empty the toilet resevoirs. Pour antifreeze down toilets/sinks- note, you need quite a bit. Clean out refrigerator and leave doors open. Don't forget your outside spigots either.
That's it, you're done. We did this for 15 years or so, before we sold the house. Never had any paint problems either. The house was located in New Jersey, on an ocean island, and the temp would often be below freezing for a month at a time. We never, ever heated the house, since electric heating would have been far too expensive.
Nether were able to block the effects of the beam - having wet clothes INTENSIFIED the beams effects. I think you'll need a microwave like sized grid to protect against wavelengths this size. The metal paint - eh - that'll heat up too - remember the photoelectric effect, as per Einstein. I like the idea of a variable focus length metal parabola, so that the beam can be deflected back at the beamers.
You have obviously not seen any pediatric orthopaedic offices/clinics. Plaster is still the most widely used casting material for pediatric fractures. Fiberglass tends to be used in non-displaced fractures because it's more difficult to shape. If you're not an orthopaedist, then your opinion/observation doesn't amount to much. Your eye does not see what your brain does not know. I use them routinely on kids, and plaster rolls are still commonly sold in every country.
Often, plaster casts are covered in a light layer of fiberglass to toughen them up to withstand the massive destructive energies of 7-12 year old boys.
I have some who play in small wind quartets, where the slightest imperfection in their playing is obvious and transparent, and friends whos band played at CBGBs (R.I.P.) the birthplace of punk. My own personal experience incorporates both musical experiences(I played classical and noise punk).
I'm a musician in my spare time, and pretty much have noticed that other musicians really don't care much as to the Quality of the recording that they listen to. Recording songs in a studio is an exception, but what I've noticed is that many of my friends just listen to their music on crappy boom boxes, etc. Is it a function of being poor - nope haven't seen that. But what I have noticed is that a majority of "audiophiles" are not musicians. Yes, of course we'll see the few exceptions, to prove a point, but generally musicians are interested in the chord progression, melody, rhythm, instrumentation, etc. The recording quality is the last thing we care about when listening to a song.
I am a surgeon, and it sickens me what the HMOs often do to patients. They send patients to me, and then won't even let me take an X-Ray. So then they have to take a prescription, go to their gate keeper MD, fight that paperwork, get the X-Ray at another location, and then bring it back to me. Worse is if they deny it, then I have to fight it out with some high school graduate, reading a script, as to why this person needs an MRI. Now it's 2-3 weeks later. Often the X-Rays are lousy, not the right ones, etc. If they have a broken bone it means that I'll have to re-break it to set it straight. If they have a tumor, then that's just another 3 weeks that it has a chance to metastasize.
If an HMO patient has a broken bone, then I have to use heavy plaster casts, instead of light fiberglass, because what the insurance pays me means I'll actually lose money on the fiberglass cast.
HMO's are O.K. if you don't get sick - do yourself a favor and get a PPO.
You start out on a yellow screen as a circle monster, after finishing off the centipede looking creature on the bottom of the first set of blue levels. The centipede drops a yellow dot, you eat it and evolve into a circle monster creature. I keep eating stuff and made my way to the bottom using the red "go deeper" dots and eventually fought a long snake creature, like I was on the first level. After deafeating him, I worked my way UP to the top and was able to kill off the large orange paramecium type creatures, that before I had to run away from. After I got back to the top - no more levels to do.
Museums tend to show things - paintings in art museums, science displays in science museums. I'm just puzzled at what they will show in this museum. Will it just be like a giant diorama depicting scenes from the Bible, or will it have "scientific" evidence of creationism. The website has some videos that contain arguments against some of the common criticisms of creationalism - i.e. evolutionary criticisms of the eye -Why is the retina facing the wrong way, etc.
That would give a decent velocity to aim the stuff at earth so that it would burn up, and hopefully not end up in a high elliptical orbit. Plus it's re-usable and it's kind of cool.
When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, and not zebras. Of course, that is for American and Canadian MDs. So as a result of that saying, odd and very rare diseases are often referred to as "Zebras"
These lesions usually spontaneously resolve, or can be treated with bisphosphonates (osteoporosis meds) and a bone stimulator. Surgical drilling has not been shown to affect the outcome. The fact that your friends knees became better probably had nothing to do with the surgery. Knee replacements are indicated when the osteonecrosis leads to collapse of the knee joint, usually in large lesions. Since your friend is young, a total knee replacement would not be the preferred treatment - an osteotomy (cutting the bone to change the knee alignment and weight bearing area) would be the preferred treatment.

When they load up their cars with all sorts of plastic airdams, large wheels, etc - al of which increase their weight and reduce performance.
If that's a crime, well then arrest me!
