Natwerk Designs

modern plastic energy star bitch society? in 1970 music was great, products were built to last. designs were robust and timeless. people respected each other and a child wouldn't think to talk back to an adult. automobiles were plush and relaxing. now we live in our plastic bitch society where we buzz around in plastic economy bubbles, jamming out to Rhiana or Lil Wayne. we use people and love material objects. what happened, if we continue on this route we will be living in computers, scared to walk outside

How come a modern mid size car weighs almost as much as a 1947 Cadillac 60 special fleetwood? Weighing at 4000 pounds, the average mid size car weighs almost as much as a 1947 heavyweight (the 133 inch wheelbase 60 special weighs 4300). This means that the full size luxobarge has only a few pounds over a Honda accord and the Honda has far more plastic, far less steel, and should be designed to be lighter (aluminum instead of iron engine block)

Modern Warfare 2 realism question? I have a question: since when do the laws of physics dictate that a plastic riot shield (designed for deflecting rocks and other debris thrown by mobs) can sustain a point-blank direct hit with an AT-4 antitank missile with no injury to the shield's user? I mean, c'mon, Infinity Ward.

Seeking vintage musical christmas bells from the 70's...? There were 8 or 9 bells that were strung together. The bells were made of metal and covered in a gold color designed plastic. Inside there was an electromagnetic clapper that was triggered when the tone in any of the 12 or so particular songs they played called for it. Each bell also had a light connected to the inside with the clapper so that when it went off the light lit as well. The device that was essentially the "brain" of the unit was bulky, heavy, and a semi-translucent dark green or black heavy plastic measuring a good 8 or 9 inches long, about 3 inches wide and a height of about 1.5 to 2 inches. On the top of the unit was a round metalic protrusion (not sure what that was... I'm strictly going on memory with all this) Any one remember these? Do you know where I may be able to find them again in good or better condition? I've tried eBay and Amazon to a lesser degree, but nothing thus far. It appears that there's no modern equivalent to these spectacular bells. Thanks

Can you patch badly damaged plaster walls? I've just bought a house and whoever owned it previously was horrendous at DIY! The units are all fine and quite modern, but they've stripped some tiles off the walls and left an awful mess. There's not a smooth surface to be seen, lumps have fallen out etc.. but I'd really like a tiled splash back. They've even "painted on" some plaster in one area! I've had a suggestion of a stainless steel splash back which I really dont want (reminds me of working kitchens) and we've even considered putting plastic boarding designed for shower interiors on the wall. Can you not just patch up the surface with fresh plaster? And ideally not have to bring in a proffessional plasterer?

ALL ARTISTS PLEASE ANSWER - Describe your dream studio? I am curious to know about your current art studio, whether its at home, or school, or another location...is it disorganized? And what sort of equipment do you use now? and if you could design your own modern studio with no limit on costs, what would it look like? what would your easels, tables, and carts for materials (paints, palettes, turps) be made of? Wood, metal, plastic??? I am an artist and want to advocate the renovation of studio art programs in schools. I want to know what sort of materials and equipment artists out there are curious or have desire to use... I believe that a modern art studio would have equipment made of non-pourous surfaces...metals. but would be made so that they would not corrode or be affected by turpentines, and acids used in creating art. Also clay - which i do not work with much,...how would an ideal studio for ceramics and sculpture look to you?

Have there been any stone cathedral-like buildings built in mordern times? Nobody can deny the magnificence of the great stone structure cathedral's built 100's of years ago in England and France, regardless of religion. For example, St Paul's Cathedral & Durham Cathedral in England and likewise, Chartres Cathedral & Autun Cathedral in France. Each of these Cathedral's and many many more are great works of Architecture and I'm just wondering if any have been built in modern times. I'm not necessarily talking about a Cathedral's or a church to any given religion but a stone building that's been built in modern times that's architecture is just as magnificent as these old Cathedral's. I guess I'm also wondering if we still have the skills and craftsmanship to build such an amazing structure and because they are such a huge demonstration of human ability, why don't we see these types of buildings being but more often. Personally, I don't see anywhere near the same level of beauty is modern buildings. Even huge skyscrapers that obviously take a massive amount of genius and ingenuity to construct seem to always fall short no matter how high or abstract the design may be. I guess glass, steel and plastics will never compare to stone in my eyes. I think it must have something to do with the level of work that goes into building with stone that adds to it's magnificence, plus it tends to feel more honest, if that makes sense.

Is my essay on refrigerators good? It my essay interesting? Is it well-written? We had to write an essay on an important invention and I chose refrigerators because I didn't think a lot of people would do that (most people wrote it on computers or cell phones) so that my essay won't compare to anyone else's. Can you please revise it, suggest better sentences, and tell me if it's interesting and well-written? The chilly air greets my body as I grab my favorite flavor of genuine ice cream. The power to keep my ice cream frozen is all in the refrigerator. It can keep food chilled or frozen, and can also dispense icy water and ice. We couldn’t live without it. Sleek and simple, a lot of people don’t realize how inportant it is. To begin with, a refrigerator uses blasts of air, which are powered by electricity, to keep food and drink frosty for consumption. It can store marvelous meals or delightful snacks. Some people prefer chrome exteriors over plastic. But all refrigerators generally look similar. And they are all used for the same purpose. Likewise, there are many possible designs for a refrigerator. There can be side-by-side doors, or stacked doors (one on top of the other). The exterior can be stainless steel chrome or hard plastic. There is usually a water/ice dispenser for those hot summer days, or just wanting a sip. On the interior, a light turns on when you open it. Now that’s useful. What’s also useful are the crystal-clear, spill-proof shelves. There are also shelves on the inside of the doors, and drawers somewhere near the bottom. One side of the refrigerator is the chilly side for just keeping things cold, and one side is the freezer. Standard refrigerators are a bit taller than the average adult. But there are also miniature refrigerators, which are no taller than a 2-year-old. Modern refrigerators can now have touch-sensitive screens and televisions embedded into them! But think about it. What would we do without refrigerators? Well, let’s just imagine people hundreds of years ago, having to plan what to cook before they bought or harvested groceries. Most food, such as meat, can’t just lay around for days. Nowadays, we can just buy groceries and freeze them to make them last longer, or we can just chill them for a short period of time. Somewhere along the line, people started filling chests and cabinets with snow, and then they placed their food inside. Finally, the world’s first refrigerator. But in the summer when the snow liquified, an ice chest wasn’t possible. They were back to what they had to do before. Eventually, when electricity was discovered, an electric refrigerator was invented. It’s probably not what we have today, but similar. Now that’s better than a grungy old chest! Think about what we would do without the refrigerator. Like it or not, we would have to use the technology that pioneers did. And it doesn’t even snow in Florida. Good thing we have the refrigerator. Great for keeping splendid food stored and chilled, they are sleek, simple, low-maintenance, and most important, revolutionary.

eco friendly invention? ECO FRIENDLY HOUSING INVENTION, is it any good? worthy of investment? I had an idea for a new kind of eco friendly Architecture, that generates electricity through the movment of the envirnment and temperature changes by using a HYDROLIC DYNAMO on the end of a steel cable, its an idea that may sound crazy at first, but please bare with me, I call it PRESSURE TENSION ARCHITECTURE, it basically involves two elements to build an entire house, esp. good for fast emergency housing, ..... 'INFLATABLE CLEAR PRESSURE BRICKS' with holes down the center of the them are threaded onto 'TENSION CABLE'' (steel cable) ,,, threaded like beads on a necklace, and pulled tight to create a solid wall, very solid created through pressure of bricks and tension of cable... any shapes of wall or house could be made, the technological advances mean modern strong materials are available to make such Architecture feasible, but any old materials could be recycled and used,,old plastic bags could be melted down to make the infltabale bricks,,and or string or old wire could be used as tension cable,,or modern new materials, but essentially cheap fast eco friendly housing, air tight, water tight, warm, lets in light, adaptable, extendable, inflatable, deflatable, weather resistant, earth quake resistant due to pressure tension structure, tsunami resistant, tornadoe resistant, as any lost pieces can easily be put back together... EVERY MOVEMENT GENERATES ENERGY Eventually eco skyscrapers could be made real fast, i have all the designs for this, superfast bridges accross water, oceans ice, easy build,,,etc etc..... Even emergency bridges i.e. superfast inflation bricks, like car air bags could be attached to steel cable that is shot from one side of the water to the other, and the car air bags instantly inflate, creating an instant emergency bridge, superstrong superfast..... Source(s): REF; Uni studies, environment documentarys, science books I have patents on other inventions, the reason why i didn't patent this one, is because its a gift to everyone who needs emergency housing....... Yes i could make someone very rich with my inventions, but would rather save lives and the planets environment than save money

TODAY`S NEWS>>>>>>>>CLICK IT? Digital cloud plan for city skies By Jonathan Fildes Technology reporter, BBC News The inflatable elements of the building would sit on top of thin, lightweight towers A giant "digital cloud" that would "float" above London's skyline has been outlined by an international team of architects, artists and engineers. The construction would include 120m- (400ft-) tall mesh towers and a series of interconnected plastic bubbles that can be used to display images and data. The Cloud, as it is known, would also be used an observation deck and park. The unconventional structure was originally envisaged as a centre piece of the city's Olympic village. The building draws inspiration from the work of Tomas Saraceno Its designers plan to raise the funds to build it by asking for micro-donations from millions of people. "It's really about people coming together to raise the Cloud," Carlo Ratti, one of the architects behind the design from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) told BBC News. "We can build our Cloud with £5m or £50m. The flexibility of the structural system will allow us to tune the size of the Cloud to the level of funding that is reached." The size of the structure will evolve depending on the number of contributions, he said. Paola Antonelli, senior curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art in New York who has seen the design described it as a "sculptural spectacle" and "a celebration of technology". 'Data streams' The Cloud was shortlisted in a competition set-up by London Mayor Boris Johnson. The mayor has committed to build a tourist attraction in the Olympic Park "with a legacy for the east end [of London]". Other finalists are thought to include the former Turner prize winner Anish Kapoor and Antony Gormley, the designer of the Angel of the North. The mayor is still in the "process of deciding" which design will be commissioned, according to a spokesperson. However, the team, which also includes the writer Umberto Eco and engineers from Arup, has decided to push ahead and publish details of its design. The structure draws on work by artist Tomas Saraceno, a German-based designer who has previously shown off huge inflatable sculptures. It is envisaged that the spheres would be made of a plastic known as Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE), the material used to build the Beijing Aquatic Centre. The different spheres would act as structural elements, habitable spaces, decoration and LCD screens on which data could be projected. "We could provide a custom feed of… searches made by Londoners during the Olympics to give a real time 'barometer' of the city's interests and mood," said Google, one of the supporters of the project, which has also offered to provide the information feeds. The team also envisage projecting weather information, spectator numbers, race results or even images of the Olympic Torch on to the building. Ramps, stairs and lifts would carry people to the top of the structure to look out over the city. 'Zero power' The inflatable elements of the building would sit on top of slender, lightweight towers, stabilised by a net of metal cables. Damping technology, similar to that used in Japanese skyscrapers to resist earthquakes, would prevent the towers being buffeted by the wind. The Killesberg Tower in Germany is built using similar principles "Many tall towers have preceded this, but our achievement is the high degree of transparency, the minimal use of material and the vast volume created by the spheres," said professor Joerg Schleich, the structural engineer behind the towers. Professor Schleich was responsible for the Olympic Stadium in Munich as well as numerous lightweight towers built to the same design as the Cloud. The structure would also be used to harvest all the energy it produces according to Professor Ratti. "It would be a zero power cloud," he said. As well as solar cells on the ground and inside some of the spheres, the lifts would use regenerative braking, similar to that in some hybrid cars. That way, the designers say, potential energy from visitors to the top of the tower can be harnessed into useful electricity. The team have launched a fundraising website called raisethecloud.org and are now looking for a site for the tower. Google has already offered to provide free advertising for the so-called "cloud-raising" effort. The firm has offered a sponsored link at the top of the page advertising a "£1 for 1 pixel" concept to people who search for terms relevant to London 2012. "It will be a monument to crowd-sourcing," said Professor Ratti.

can anybody please help me in my homework for FLORAL DESIGN? A customer comes into your shop carrying a gorgeous oval bowl. It's very large, low, and has a pale gray crackled glaze; the customer says it's a bonsai container that he picked up during a trip to Japan. He wants you to make an arrangement of fresh flowers in it for the foyer of his business, because a celebration will take place there next week. The furnishings in the foyer are very modern. The bowl is to sit on a counter, so the arrangement will be visible from both sides. The customer says the colors in the foyer are black, white, and gray. He wants something very artistic so suit the bowl. After he leaves you with the bowl, it occurs to you that a parallel systems design might be just what this container needs. 1. To prepare the oval ceramic bowl, you should A. use green ¼ inch bowl tape in a plus sign to prevent the standard foam you intend to use from shifting. B. wash the bowl thoroughly, dry it carefully, attach dry foam with a plus sign of clear bowl tape to the bowl. C. wash the bowl thoroughly, dry it carefully, glue standard foam while it's still dry securely to the bottom of the bowl with pan glue, and then soak the foam. D. wash the bowl carefully, fill it with water, and wedge in a piece of standard foam that fits snugly in the bowl. 2. Your parallel systems design for this customer must be defined by A. an s-curve of ivy cascading below the bowl. B. at least two parallel groups of upright flowering branches used as line materials. C. a variety of spring flowers arranged as if they were growing in a garden. D. perfect lines of massed chrysanthemums forming concentric circles of color. 3. You decide to cover the bare foam left visible in this striking contemporary arrangement with maroon leaves that have an interesting gray reverse; you place the leaves on top of each other so that many leaf edges form a flat pattern and all the foam disappears. This technique is A. basing by layering B. basing by pavé C. basing by terracing D. basing by pillowing 4. You decide that you can add tulips to this parallel systems design if you can make them into an upright column by tying them with raffia to keep them from bending into curves as tulips often do.

Those who believe evolution, intelligent design, what are your thoughts on this? Italian wall lizards introduced to a tiny island off the coast of Croatia are evolving in ways that would normally take millions of years to play out, new research shows. In just a few decades the 5-inch-long (13-centimeter-long) lizards have developed a completely new gut structure, larger heads, and a harder bite, researchers say. In 1971, scientists transplanted five adult pairs of the reptiles from their original island home in Pod Kopiste to the tiny neighboring island of Pod Mrcaru, both in the south Adriatic Sea. Genetic testing on the Pod Mrcaru lizards confirmed that the modern population of more than 5,000 Italian wall lizards are all descendants of the original ten lizards left behind in the 1970s. While the experiment was more than 30 years in the making, it was not by design, according to Duncan Irschick, a study author and biology professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. After scientists transplanted the reptiles, the Croatian War of Independence erupted, ending in the mid-1990s. The researchers couldn't get back to island because of the war, Irschick said. In 2004, however, tourism began to open back up, allowing researchers access to the island laboratory. "We didn't know if we would find a lizard there. We had no idea if the original introductions were successful," Irschick said. What they found, however, was shocking. "The island was swarming with lizards," he said. The findings were published in March in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The new habitat once had its own healthy population of lizards, which were less aggressive than the new implants, Irschick said. The new species wiped out the indigenous lizard populations, although how it happened is unknown, he said. The transplanted lizards adapted to their new environment in ways that expedited their evolution physically, Irschick explained. Pod Mrcaru, for example, had an abundance of plants for the primarily insect-eating lizards to munch on. Physically, however, the lizards were not built to digest a vegetarian diet. Researchers found that the lizards developed cecal valves—muscles between the large and small intestine—that slowed down food digestion in fermenting chambers, which allowed their bodies to process the vegetation's cellulose into volatile fatty acids. "They evolved an expanded gut to allow them to process these leaves," Irschick said, adding it was something that had not been documented before. "This was a brand-new structure." Along with the ability to digest plants came the ability to bite harder, powered by a head that had grown longer and wider. The rapid physical evolution also sparked changes in the lizard's social and behavioral structure, he said. For one, the plentiful food sources allowed for easier reproduction and a denser population. The lizard also dropped some of its territorial defenses, the authors concluded. Such physical transformation in just 30 lizard generations takes evolution to a whole new level, Irschick said. It would be akin to humans evolving and growing a new appendix in several hundred years, he said. "That's unparalleled. What's most important is how fast this is," he said. While researchers do know the invader's impact on its reptile brethren, they do not know how the species impacts local vegetation or insects, a subject of future study, Irschick said. The study demonstrates that a lot of change happens in island environments, said Andrew Hendry, a biology professor at Montreal's McGill University. What could be debated, however, is how those changes are interpreted—whether or not they had a genetic basis and not a "plastic response to the environment," said Hendry, who was not associated with the study. There's no dispute that major changes to the lizards' digestive tract occurred. "That kind of change is really dramatic," he added. "All of this might be evolution," Hendry said. "The logical next step would be to confirm the genetic basis for these changes." This seems to fly in the face of both (classic) evolution theory, requiring small changes over several generations, as well as intelligent design. What are your thoughts? Sorry it wont let me post the link, but you can just google "italian wall lizards" and its the 4th link, from national geographic. Mongolia - are you suggesting that a species can undergo the radical changes described in this article in only a handful of generation? Keeping in mind that such a low number of generations leaves almost no room for natural selection or even statistical probability for such useful mutations? Samsa - I know they usually apply this quote to global warming, but I think it fits here well: "Any theory that explains everything, explains nothing." Spazzy - no, read it again: Such physical transformation in just 30 lizard generations takes evolution to a whole new level, Irschick said. It would be akin to humans evolving and growing a new appendix in several hundred years, he said. Samsa - (sigh....) I am not here to argue. If you don't understand my question, you don't have to answer. The point was, evolution advocates point to the large numbers of generations to explain how beneficial mutations can arise from natural selection. This is a case where there were no large number of generations. The article indicates 30, my personal research actually indicates that wall lizards have about 2-3 years for sexual maturity, hence only 10 to 15 generations (not sure where they got the 30). Either way, not enough for evolution as it is classically understood/explained and defended. Obviously my point was not I.D. propeganda, as I also discredited my own theory in the original question. The idea is, does the theory of evolution need to be revised, or are these scientists wrong, or is this a special situation?

help in floral homework? A customer comes into your shop carrying a gorgeous oval bowl. It's very large, low, and has a pale gray crackled glaze; the customer says it's a bonsai container that he picked up during a trip to Japan. He wants you to make an arrangement of fresh flowers in it for the foyer of his business, because a celebration will take place there next week. The furnishings in the foyer are very modern. The bowl is to sit on a counter, so the arrangement will be visible from both sides. The customer says the colors in the foyer are black, white, and gray. He wants something very artistic so suit the bowl. After he leaves you with the bowl, it occurs to you that a parallel systems design might be just what this container needs. 1. To prepare the oval ceramic bowl, you should A. use green ¼ inch bowl tape in a plus sign to prevent the standard foam you intend to use from shifting. B. wash the bowl thoroughly, dry it carefully, attach dry foam with a plus sign of clear bowl tape to the bowl. C. wash the bowl thoroughly, dry it carefully, glue standard foam while it's still dry securely to the bottom of the bowl with pan glue, and then soak the foam. D. wash the bowl carefully, fill it with water, and wedge in a piece of standard foam that fits snugly in the bowl. 2. Your parallel systems design for this customer must be defined by A. an s-curve of ivy cascading below the bowl. B. at least two parallel groups of upright flowering branches used as line materials. C. a variety of spring flowers arranged as if they were growing in a garden. D. perfect lines of massed chrysanthemums forming concentric circles of color. 3. You decide to cover the bare foam left visible in this striking contemporary arrangement with maroon leaves that have an interesting gray reverse; you place the leaves on top of each other so that many leaf edges form a flat pattern and all the foam disappears. This technique is A. basing by layering B. basing by pavé C. basing by terracing D. basing by pillowing 4. You decide that you can add tulips to this parallel systems design if you can make them into an upright column by tying them with raffia to keep them from bending into curves as tulips often do. This technique is called A. banding. B. binding. C. framing. D. skeletonizing. A customer comes in with a request for a romantic arrangement to be placed on a piano in her living room which is pale pink and white. A friend who's a professional pianist has graciously offered to entertain her extended family at a reunion to be held at her house. She wants to honor her friend with a fluid, eye-catching arrangement to suit the classical music she'll be playing for them. 5. You immediately suggest a Hogarth arrangement and you describe it to the customer as A. an arrangement of cascading elements. B. an arrangement with equally strong vertical and horizontal elements. C. an arrangement with a continuous line in an s-shape. D. an arrangement with a triangular shape in which the three points symbolize heaven, humans, and earth. 6. You decide to use pink, rose, maroon, and mauve flowers. Your color scheme is A. triad. B. complementary. C. monochromatic. D. analogous. 7. The container for your Hogarth arrangement should be A. a low basket with plastic liner. B. a ceramic dish filled with river rock. C. a tall ceramic vase with wet foam and room for water.

This TV executive went to a party where you had created an amazing set piece surrounding a small dance floor. She was impressed. She's asked you to supply floral arrangements as a background feature for a live TV concert of a popular local rock band to air next month. You'll receive an on-screen plug and you'll be allowed to hand out brochures about your business to the studio audience. The band is very modern and sophisticated. A great opportunity to make a name for yourself has fallen in your lap, what shall you do to get noticed and at the same time give this band an artful set to back them? 8. You know that you want to make reference to this band's punk influences, but you want to update the set-piece to inject your own feelings about their music, so you choose to create A. a set piece of Flemish arrangements that have fallen and broken. B. a set piece of waterfall arrangements. C. a set piece of Ikebana in the abstract style. D. a set piece in the new wave style with an interpretive approach. 9. In several areas of your design for the rock concert set, you decide to place identically drooping gladiolus leaves in pairs one behind the other. This technique is called A. sequencing. B. shadowing. C. g

How good/bad are these couple of paragraphs? A little red trash can, quite small in stature and significance, sat quietly in the corner of a urine-stain yellow, untidy bedroom. Kevin stared at it protruding there like a taut nipple, clashing against the faint burgundy-colored carpet on the second floor of 22 Green Street. Usually the can, blushing solid lollipop rouge, loyally invited a fresh smelling swoop of leftovers because he rarely finished his plate and always ate in his room. Today the can loudly swallowed his crumpled tenth grade report card and Kevin watched as the light from his window stuck the smooth, plastic, swaying lid in a waning pendulum rhythm. Today more than usual Kevin felt like trash or possibly a metaphoric trash can. Straight to the belly of the devil red womb went those ugly letters that used to mean something but now are being admitted into a slow, digestive burial ritual. As all knowledge did, he supposed. The discarded elements fester inside like rage in the heart and, caging the objects, this little warrior let a certain young man's conscious breathe easier. Teasing the temper of the young man who may forget to be thankful for this kind purpose, the semi-hollow container proves it's not what it eats. The young and modern branded hoarder traveled from a fiery and metallic birthplace where creative minds erected its design then was bought, sold, and imprisoned as a slave to the highest bidder. The shell accommodates the careless while continually acquiring new scuffs and fingerprints. It's recently obtained a few pieces of identity and spends it's time consuming them. The only red trash can in the world to have such contents. Little white bristles of paper stick out of the swinging door left ajar. A letter of detention, a report card, and several notes from teachers, all bad apple reports to be gone from sight and mind. Then on this Tuesday morning the garbage truck Kevin will hear through the bedroom walls will stop on the street and make a squeaky cry as it devours the majority of his insecurities. Both the can and Kevin will have to start again. Wow! JD, you gave a fantastic answer and I appreciate it very much. I think there's hope for YA! yet. Thank you. Your answers are convincing enough for me to pull back a bit on the flowery details. I thank you again.

This TV executive went to a party where you had created an amazing set piece surrounding a small dance floor. She was impressed. She's asked you to supply floral arrangements as a background feature for a live TV concert of a popular local rock band to air next month. You'll receive an on-screen plug and you'll be allowed to hand out brochures about your business to the studio audience. The band is very modern and sophisticated. A great opportunity to make a name for yourself has fallen in your lap, what shall you do to get noticed and at the same time give this band an artful set to back them? 8. You know that you want to make reference to this band's punk influences, but you want to update the set-piece to inject your own feelings about their music, so you choose to create A. a set piece of Flemish arrangements that have fallen and broken. B. a set piece of waterfall arrangements. C. a set piece of Ikebana in the abstract style. D. a set piece in the new wave style with an interpretive approach.

How Can I Rewire The Stereo System In A 93 Ford Explorer? So a little while back I installed a Kenwood head unit in my 93 Ford Explorer, but being the idiot I am, I cut the Ford wires and spliced them to the Kenwood ones instead of buying the $4 harness. After enough trial and error (note the Ford and Kenwood wires are VERY differently color-coded), I matched up the right colors for powering the Kenwood head unit. However, the way the Explorer was designed was wires would go through the old Ford head unit, then through and amp, then to the speakers. Well modern head units have the amp in them, so I don't need to go through the Ford amp. Also, the speaker wire from the Ford head unit were really small and worn, so I'd like to run new wires. That's where my problems start. Right now i have speaker wire running through my car to the doors, which works, but doesn't look good at all. So I'm looking for a wiring diagram of my Explorer, so I know what plastic I need to detach and run wires under. Does anyone know where I can get one?

What kind of plant life can I use for landscape in a beach house in Southern California? This isn't a real house... I am an majoring in architecture and I am currently working on a beach house project, in which I have to build a scale model.... My site is in San Diego, California... I plan on designing a house with a large backyard garden with palm trees and other trees and plants. My question is, what kind of trees and plants can I use in southern California, specifically plants that will be able to handle well in a beach environment? Keep in mind that it is a beach house, with direct access to the beach... I want to us a variety of bushes and trees that are big enough to create some privacy around the house since my site has a 6' public access walk right next to it...... I want plants that range from 1' tall to 8' tall....... I plan on using miniature palms trees scattered around the house as well... I specifically want to use mainly nice looking colorful bushes, and trees, and some nice exotic plants.... Nothing to rare, keep in mind that I need to find miniature models of these plants for my concept model. :) The main reason why I ask for your help is because I am trying to order miniature fake plastic scaled trees and plants for my concept model. I need specific species of plants, bushes, and trees in order to know what type of mini tree to order online.... I not looking for flowers and stuff like that, I prefer plants, bushes, and trees.... My house will be a light colored modern looking house, most likely white with irregular shapes, and high glass panel windows to take advantage of the Pacific Ocean view.... Im just adding that so you can visualize what Im trying to do, :) Thank you so much for your help in advance... I plan on transferring to a highly ranked architecture school, and I want this model to impress when I make a portfolio out of it.

McDonald's Makeover. Will McDonald's New Decor Bring Back Old and Bring In New Customers? McDonald's Makeover: Plasma Screens and Cafe Couches Your local McDonald's, with its hard plastic seats, was designed to move customers in and out fast. But now, with mood lighting, trendy artwork and fireplaces, it will convey a new message. After 50 years and billions of customers, the fast-food giant is getting a face-lift. Plasma-screen TVs, soft couches, coffee tables and wireless Internet access are just some of the new features customers will begin to see at their local McDonald's.The iconic red or brown "double mansard" rooftops — designed to catch the eye of passing motorists — will be replaced by something more sleek and modern.The traditionally kid-focused, kid-proof, interior is now decidedly grown up. There's mood lighting, trendy artwork and fireplaces. All 13,000 McDonald's restaurants in the United States will eventually get the McMakeover, half of them by the end of this year.

Product Design Questionnaire for a Apple Camera? I'm basing my product in A2 level on a Apple Camera in which i will call the 'ICam'. I'm producing this as they haven't yet made a camera on it's own but they have incorporated it into the ipods, iphones and ipads. I'd like you to fill out a short questionnaire for me to help with my research in what you'd want a icam to look like! Do you own a Apple branded product? If a ICam was produced by Apple, do you think you would buy it? If a ICam was produced, what features would you include in it? Eg; Wifi, touchscreen etc. Would you prefer the design of the camera to be colourful and wacky or like the original style of Apple, Sleek and modern? Touchscreen or no touchscreen? Would you like WiFi included? What material(s) would you like the camera to be made out of preferably? (Plastic or metal) What price range would you expect it to be in? Thanks! Caroline x

Why are modern cars so chintzy? Most bumpers are made of plastic now.The thing designed to protect against damage is made of plastic.Gimme me a damn iron pipe any day,that doesn't cost me $500 to get a dent out of. There is lightening for aerodynamics,and then there is stupidtiy.My old hot wheels cars are built sturdier. Am I the only one that this bothers?

could i have your opinion on my design technology project,please? i plan on designing a modern bus stop, it would mostly target a city or areas with lots of workers. it would have a touch screen computer which you could use to access bus times, email, news etc. comfy benches unlike the older sloped plastic ones. i was also considering a kind of portaloo which would be attached to the bus stop this would deter drunk people from urinating on the bus stop itself thus avoiding the smell. i was also thinking maybe wi-fi, which would be perfect in london in my opinion. but please any comments at all would be so helpful.

ECO FRIENDLY HOUSING INVENTION, is it any good? worthy of investment? I had an idea for a new kind of eco friendly Architecture, that generates electricity through the movment of the envirnment and temperature changes by using a HYDROLIC DYNAMO on the end of a steel cable, its an idea that may sound crazy at first, but please bare with me, I call it PRESSURE TENSION ARCHITECTURE, it basically involves two elements to build an entire house, esp. good for fast emergency housing, ..... 'INFLATABLE CLEAR PRESSURE BRICKS' with holes down the center of the them are threaded onto 'TENSION CABLE'' (steel cable) ,,, threaded like beads on a necklace, and pulled tight to create a solid wall, very solid created through pressure of bricks and tension of cable... any shapes of wall or house could be made, the technological advances mean modern strong materials are available to make such Architecture feasible, but any old materials could be recycled and used,,old plastic bags could be melted down to make the infltabale bricks,,and or string or old wire could be used as tension cable,,or modern new materials, but essentially cheap fast eco friendly housing, air tight, water tight, warm, lets in light, adaptable, extendable, inflatable, deflatable, weather resistant, earth quake resistant due to pressure tension structure, tsunami resistant, tornadoe resistant, as any lost pieces can easily be put back together... EVERY MOVEMENT GENERATES ENERGY Eventually eco skyscrapers could be made real fast, i have all the designs for this, superfast bridges accross water, oceans ice, easy build,,,etc etc..... Even emergency bridges i.e. superfast inflation bricks, like car air bags could be attached to steel cable that is shot from one side of the water to the other, and the car air bags instantly inflate, creating an instant emergency bridge, superstrong superfast..... Source(s): REF; Uni studies, environment documentarys, science books . I'm an inventor, I come up with about 2 new inventions per week, I have a surplus of inventions, i just give away the ones that help people, and the not so good inventions,,,, I have also invented a room temp superconducting wire, and built prototype and patented,and anti grav but all need funding, did have a promise of funding but investor broke promise, and stole invention for the sake of money over saving the environment,, but i don't care about the money, but would be nice to get some funding so i can build prototypes of inventions...

Monopoly fans. What are your thoughts of the 75th Anniversary Edition game? Details inside->? 'I personally think it's silly but just my opinion. Monopoly' Gets a Makeover, but Will Die-Hard Fans Buy It? Hasbro has unveiled the design of the new 75th anniversary edition of their classic board game, Monopoly, set to hit stores in fall of 2010. "Monopoly: Revolution Edition" is slick and round instead of dull and square, with debit cards and an ATM instead of paper money and a banker, clear plastic representations of the classic tokens (bye-bye, little boot!), and clips of popular songs (like Rihanna’s "Umbrella," Daniel Powter’s "Bad Day," and Beyonce's "Crazy in Love") that play after certain actions. This is not the first game to get a modern reboot (there’s an update to the classic Trivial Pursuit, and Scrabble got a face-lift for its 60th anniversary), but Monopoly’s changes will undoubtedly appeal to the 21st century's techie youngsters. For one thing, the adjusted-for-inflation prizes are more impressive. Players can collect $2 million dollars for passing “Go” instead of a mere $200 — practically what the average kid gets for losing a tooth these days. But it's bound to annoy die-hard fans of the comforting classic version, who might send it directly to jail come next fall. (At least they can take comfort in the fact that Monopoly: Revolution retains the classic Atlantic City-based street system.) So far, the Internet echo chamber's biggest criticism focuses on the new version's tight security. It seems that when it comes to Monopoly, half the fun comes from cheating by stealing from the till when nobody's looking, a loophole the new version closes with its fancy electronic banking. (However, an electronic banking version has actually been on the market for years.) Surely our nation's tech-savvy youth will somehow find a way to game the "Monopoly" system, assuming they can be pried away from screens long enough to start a game. Picture of how it will look is in this link-> http://finance.yahoo.com/career-work/article/108764/monopoly-gets-a-makeover-but-will-die-hard-fans-buy-it??mod=family-home

I have designed the perfect STARBUCKS board game...? It's Patent Pending. The rules have been copywritten. It's beautiful. It's got an edgy, modern -- yet ancient -- look. It's small and portable. It only has 7 parts (and that includes the instructions manual, which is laminated) It can be played by anyone 5 - 95. You can learn to play in 45 seconds (tops) It's inexpensive. The playing pieces are magnetized so they won't get lost. It's encased in plastic for easy cleaning. It has a three-letter name, that means 'family'. It's a strategy game so people will want to sit and play - over and over and over - again How do I show it to a Starbucks executive? (my e-mail is photografr7@yahoo.com) .. and most of all, it can be played silently. But observers may say, "great, wow, good move". But that can't be helped! ... and best of all, there are no words required to read or understand (except for the instructions, which can be printed in 100 languages) - so it can be played at any Starbucks in the world. I applied for patent pending through www.legalzoom.com - cheaper than your local patent attorney, but still not cheap

Agree or disagree? New instant cameras should be made to look more sleek and like the digital cameras.? I have a love for instant cameras but the new designs of them disgusts me truly. It looks like they've been designed to be a child's play-toy rather than an actual camera, they are so rounded/curved and especially with the plastic, and thus it's colors are just horrific because of the plastic. Now this is just my opinion on this, but I think Fujifilm and hopefully Polaroid (supposing they're going to make other models after the 300) would make smarter looking and less like a child's toy, instant cameras like the digital ones or maybe even base their cameras looking slightly more like the old (antique-like) ones to preserve it's history, well, The Impossible Project is doing what I'm kind of saying right now, but I guess, it should have a bit of a modern feel to it and also to make it slightly less bulky or maybe less noticeable as an instant camera like the ΠρoCam from The Impossible Project. So do you agree or disagree with the fact some new instant cameras (except for The Impossible Project) just looks like a child's play-toy and need to kick it up a notch? i mention the impossible project as they sell instant cameras and don't actually make them, but i do hope more of those same instant cameras and film is made! or obtain rights from Polaroid which allows them or others to make the same thing

Do you think Aeroplanes should be designed to deal with Lightening strikes and Turbulence? Lightning and Turbulence: although planes are generally regarded as safe, these two are the biggest threats to a modern commercial plane whilst at cruising altitude. (Examples AF447, BOAC Flight which broke-up when it encountered turbulence, which all of the passengers perished on and Pan Am when lightning ignited the fuel tanks.) Some tall buildings have lightning discharge rods, since Lightning in itself is Static, this would cause the charges to dissipate over the exterior of the aircraft - rather than penetrate the aircraft's vital systems. They do not have to be very large and this addition could save many lives. Turbulence - it can easily snap a plane's wings off. If a small change, say, a carbon alloy was built into the wings, the wings could bend with the turbulence and act like giant shock absorbers. The fuselage, with a not so expensive price, should be built with several alloys, strengthening the hull so it does not break apart with the turbulence. Jets can also break into peaces if they fly too fast, especially during a storm or Turbulence. So why doesn't the FAA safety regulations order planes to be made out of metal and not that thin delicate plastic-metal stuff? It's 2011 and I don't see why airplanes aren't designed to deal with this. They are both very common occurances, what's stopping the FAA from making these important live-saving alterations? Is Airbus or Boeing releasing/designing any new aircraft that won't break apart in turbulence and won't blow up if they are struck by lightning when flying through a thunderstorm? (Which, scarily, I heard many planes do...whoah.) Just curious if my opinions would work against these issues. Do you think that they would work?

Some tall buildings have lightning discharge rods, since Lightning in itself is Static, this would cause the charges to dissipate over the exterior of the aircraft - rather than penetrate the aircraft's vital systems. They do not have to be very large and this addition could save many lives. Turbulence - it can easily snap a plane's wings off. If a small change, say, a carbon alloy was built into the wings, the wings could bend with the turbulence and act like giant shock absorbers. The fuselage, with a not so expensive price, should be built with several alloys, strengthening the hull so it does not break apart with the turbulence. Jets can also break into peaces if they fly too fast, especially during a storm or Turbulence. So why doesn't the FAA safety regulations order planes to be made out of metal and not that thin delicate plastic-metal stuff? It's 2011 and I don't see why airplanes aren't designed to deal with this. They are both very common occurances, what's stopping the FAA from making these important live-saving alterations? Is Airbus or Boeing releasing/designing any new aircraft that won't break apart in turbulence and won't blow up if they are struck by lightning when flying through a thunderstorm? (Which, scarily, I heard many planes do...whoah.) Just curious if my opinions would work against these issues. Do you think that they would work?

Hinduism is only scientifically proven religion.ht d u think? Hinduism is probably the only religion which provides great support for science and scientific discoveries. Most of the modern day inventions can be found in ancient Hindu scriptures. Below is a compiled list of the scientific discoveries of this era which can be found in the ancient scriptures. Cosmology & psychology According to India's ancient texts, around 3000 BCE sage Kapil founded both cosmology and psychology. He shed light on the Soul, the subtle elements of matter and creation. His main idea was that essential nature (prakrti) comes from the eternal (purusha) to develop all of creation. No deeper a view of the cosmos has ever been developed. Further, his philosophy of Sankhya philosophy also covered the secret levels of the psyche, including mind, intellect and ego, and how they relate to the Soul or Atma. Medicine (Ayurveda), Aviation Around 800 BCE Sage Bharadwaj, was both the father of modern medicine, teaching Ayurveda, and also the developer of aviation technology. He wrote the Yantra Sarvasva, which covers astonishing discoveries in aviation and space sciences, and flying machines - well before Leonardo DaVinchi's time. Some of his flying machines were reported to fly around the earth, from the earth to other planets, and between universes. His designs and descriptions have left a huge impression on modern-day aviation engineers. He also discussed how to make these flying machines invisible by using sun and wind force. There are much more fascinating insights discovered by sage Bharadwaj. Medicine, Surgery, paediatrics, gynaecology. anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, embryology, blood circulation Around this era and through 400 BCE many great developments occurred. In the field of medicine (Ayurveda), sage Divodasa Dhanwantari developed the school of surgery; Rishi Kashyap developed the specialized fields of paediatrics and gynaecology. Lord Atreya, author of the one of the main Ayurvedic texts, the Charak Samhita, classified the principles of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, embryology, blood circulation and more. He discussed how to heal thousands of diseases, many of which modern science still has no answer. Along with herbs, diet and lifestyle, Atreya showed a correlation between mind, body, spirit and ethics. He outlined a charter of ethics centuries before the Hippocratic oath. Rhinoplasty, amputation, caesarean and cranial surgeries, anesthesia, antibiotic herbs While Lord Atreya is recognized for his contribution to medicine, sage Sushrut is known as the "Father of surgery". Even modern science recognizes India as the first country to develop and use rhinoplasty (developed by Sushrut). He also practiced amputation, caesarean and cranial surgeries, and developed 125 surgical instruments including scalpels, lancets, and needles. Lord Atreya - author of Charak Samhita. Circa 8th - 6th century BCE. Perhaps the most referred to Rishi/physician today The Charak Samhita was the first compilation of all aspects of ayurvedic medicine including diagnoses, cures, anatomy, embryology, pharmacology, and blood circulation (excluding surgery). He wrote about causes and cures for diabetes, TB, and heart diseases. At that time, European medicine had no idea of these ideas. In fact, even today many of these disease causes and cures are still unknown to modern allopathic medicine. Other unique quality of Ayurveda is that it uncovers and cures the root cause of illness, it is safe, gentle and inexpensive, it sees 6 stages of disease development (where modern medicine only sees the last two stages), it treats people in a personalized manner according to their dosha or constitution and not in any generic manner. Further, Ayurveda being the science of 'life', Atrea was quick to emphasize, proper nutrition according to dosha, and perhaps above all else, that there was a mind/body/soul relationship and that the root cause of all diseases and the best medicine for all conditions is spiritual and ethical life. Rishi Sushrut is known as the father of surgery & author of Sushrut Samhita. Circa 5 - 4th century BCE. He is credited with performing the world's first rhinoplasty, using anesthesia and plastic surgery. He used surgical instruments - many of them look similar to instruments used today; and discussed more than 300 types of surgical operations. One of the Ayurvedic surgical practices being used today in India involves dipping sutures into antibiotic herbs so when sewed into the person, the scar heals quicker and prevent infection. The modern surgical world owes a great debt to this great surgical sage. Atomic theory Sage Kanad (circa 600 BCE) is recognized as the founder of atomic theory, and classified all the objects of creation into nine elements (earth, water, light or fire, wind, ether, time, space, mind and soul). He stated that every object in creation is made of atoms that in turn connect with each other to form molecules nearly 2,500 years before Jo i didn't asked abt Muslims or Christians..i hv asked wt d u feel aftr knowing the truth.>>>>> plzzzzz first read it then post ur comment(it is proven by scientists).if u r here 2 do war against Hindu religion then plz don't waste ur and my time....... sorry edit.....read carefully,, Algebra, arithmetic and geometry, planetary positions, eclipses, cosmography, and mathematical techniques. force of gravity In the field of mathematics, Bhaskaracharya II (1114 - 1183 CE) contributed to the fields of algebra, arithmetic and geometry. Two of his most well known books are Lilavati and Bijaganita, which are translated in several languages of the world. In his book, Siddhant Shiromani, he expounds on planetary positions, eclipses, cosmography, and mathematical techniques. Another of his books, Surya Siddhant discusses the force of gravity, 500 years before Sir Isaac Newton. Sage Sridharacharya developed the quadratic equation around 991 CE. The Decimal Ancient India invented the decimal scale using base 10. They number-names to denote numbers. In the 9th century CE, an Arab mathematician, Al-Khwarizmi, learned Sanskrit and wrote a book explaining the Hindu system of numeration. In the 12th century CE the book was translated into Latin. Th

does anyone want to read this ( i know its so wierd but maybe any yahooligans here wanted to see it ) caution! The Basics Where does fart gas come from? The gas in our intestines comes from several sources: air we swallow, gas seeping into our intestines from our blood, gas produced by chemical reactions in our guts, and gas produced by bacteria living in our guts. What is fart gas made of? The composition of fart gas is highly variable. Most of the air we swallow, especially the oxygen component, is absorbed by the body before the gas gets into the intestines. By the time the air reaches the large intestine, most of what is left is nitrogen. Chemical reactions between stomach acid and intestinal fluids may produce carbon dioxide, which is also a component of air and a product of bacterial action. Bacteria also produce hydrogen and methane. But the relative proportions of these gases that emerge from our anal opening depend on several factors: what we ate, how much air we swallowed, what kinds of bacteria we have in our intestines, and how long we hold in the fart. The longer a fart is held in, the larger the proportion of boring, inert nitrogen it contains, because the other gases tend to be absorbed into the bloodstream through the walls of the intestine. A nervous person who swallows a lot of air and who moves stuff through his digestive system rapidly may have a lot of oxygen in his farts, because his body didn't have time to absorb the oxygen. Encyclopaedia Britannica offers the intriguing statement that some people's farts contain no methane. The reason for this is apparently unknown. Some researchers suspect a genetic influence, whereas others think the anomaly is due to environmental factors. However, all methane in any farts comes from bacterial action and not from human cells. What makes farts stink? The odor of farts comes from small amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans in the mixture. These compounds contain sulfur. The more sulfur-rich your diet, the more sulfides and mercaptans will be produced by the bacteria in your guts, and the more your farts will stink. Foods such as cauliflower, eggs and meat are notorious for producing smelly farts, whereas beans produce large amounts of not particularly stinky farts. Why do farts make noise? The sounds are produced by vibrations of the anal opening. Sounds depend on the velocity of expulsion of the gas and the tightness of the sphincter muscles of the anus. How much gas does a normal person pass per day? On average, a person produces about half a liter of fart gas per day, distributed over an average of about fourteen daily farts. Whereas it may be difficult for you to determine your daily flatus volume, you can certainly keep track of your daily numerical fart count. You might try this as a science fair project: Keep a journal of everything you eat and a count of your farts. You might make a note of the potency of their odor as well. See if you can discover a relationship between what you eat, how much you fart, and how much they smell. How does a fart travel to the anus? One may wonder why fart gas travels downward toward the anus when gas has a lower density than liquids and solids, and should therefore travel upwards. The intestine squeezes its contents toward the anus in a series of contractions, a process called peristalsis. The process is stimulated by eating, which is why we often need to poop and fart right after a meal. Peristalsis creates a zone of high pressure, forcing all intestinal contents, gas included, to move towards a region of lower pressure, which is toward the anus. Gas is more mobile than other components, and small bubbles coalesce to from larger bubbles en route to the exit. When peristalsis is not active, gas bubbles may begin to percolate upwards again, but they won't get very far due to the complicated and convoluted shape of the intestine. Furthermore, the anus is neither up nor down when a person is lying down. How long does it take fart gas to travel to someone else's nose? Fart travel time depends on atmospheric conditions such as humidity, temperature and wind speed and direction, the molecular weight of the fart particles, and the distance between the fart transmitter and the fart receiver. Farts also disperse (spread out) as they leave the source, and their potency diminishes with dilution. Generally, if the fart is not detected within a few seconds, it will be too dilute for perception and will be lost into the atmosphere forever. Exceptional conditions exist when the fart is released into a small enclosed area such as an elevator, a small room, or a car. These conditions limit the amount of dilution possible, and the fart may remain in a smellable concentration for a long period of time, until it condenses on the walls. Why is there a 13 to 20 second delay between farting and the time it starts to smell? Actually, the fart stinks immediately upon emergence, but it takes several seconds for the odor to travel to the farter's nostrils. If farts could travel at the speed of sound, we would smell them almost instantly, at the same time we hear them. Is it true that some people never fart? No, not if they're alive. People even fart shortly after death. Do even movie stars fart? Yes, of course. So do grandmothers, priests, kings, presidents, opera singers, beauty queens, and nuns. Even Yoda farts. Do men fart more than women? No, women fart just as much as men. It's just that most men take more pride in it than most women. There is a large variation among individuals in the amount of fart gas produced per day, but the variation does not correlate with gender. I have read that men fart more often than women. If this is true, then women must be saving it up and expelling more gas per fart than men do. Do men's farts smell worse than women's farts? Based on what I have experienced of women's farts, all I can say is that I hope not. At what time of day is a gentleman most likely to fart? A gentleman is mostly likely to fart first thing in the morning, while in the bathroom. This is known as "morning thunder," and if the gentleman gets good resonance, it can be heard throughout the household. Why are beans so notorious for making people fart? Beans contain sugars that we humans cannot digest. When these sugars reach our intestines, the bacteria go wild, have a big feast, and make lots of gas! Other notorious fart-producing foods include corn, bell peppers, cabbage, milk, and raisins. A friend of mine had a dog who was exceptionally fond of apples and turnips. The dog would eat these things and then get prodigious gas. A dog's digestive system is not equipped to handle such vegetable matter, so the dog's bacteria worked overtime to produce remarkable flatulence. What things other than diet can make a person fart more than usual? People who swallow a lot of air fart more than people who don't. This can be cured somewhat by chewing with your mouth closed. Nervous people with fast moving bowels will fart more because less air is absorbed out of the intestines. Some disease conditions can cause excess flatulence. And going up in an airplane or other low-pressure environment can cause the gas inside you to expand and emerge as flatulence. Is a fart really just a burp that comes out the wrong end? No, a burp emerges from the stomach and has a different chemical composition from a fart. Farts have less atmospheric gas content and more bacterial gas content than burps. Is it harmful to hold in farts? There are differences in opinion on this one. Certainly, people have believed for centuries that retaining flatulence is bad for the health. Emperor Claudius even passed a law legalizing farting at banquets out of concern for people's health. There was a widespread belief that a person could be poisoned or catch a disease by retaining farts. Doctors I have spoken to recently have told me that there is no particular harm in holding in farts. Farts will not poison you; they are a natural component of your intestinal contents. The worst thing that can happen is that you may get a stomach ache from the gas pressure. But one doctor suggested that pathological distention of the bowel could result if a person holds in farts too much. How long would it be possible to not fart? As I understand it, a captive fart can escape as soon as the person relaxes. This means that a lot of people who assiduously refrain from farting during the day do so at great length as soon as they fall asleep. Having been on a great many overnight field trips, long bus trips, and trans-Pacific flights, I can personally vouch for the fact that lots of people do fart voluminously as they doze off. So the answer to the question would be, you can refrain from farting as long as you can stay awake! Do all people fart in their sleep? I have not made a scientific study of this, but I don't think all people fart in their sleep. I think mainly those who refuse to fart when they're awake do so when dozing off. For other people, toilet training takes such a strong hold that they let nothing pass their sphincters in sleep. For these people, the gas accumlates in the night and they vent it upon awakening. Where do farts go when you hold them in? How often have you held in a fart, intending to release it at the first appropriate opportunity, only to find that the fart has disappeared when you are ready for it? I asked several doctors where the fart goes. Does it leak out slowly without the person knowing it? Is it absorbed into the bloodstream? What happens to it? The doctors agree that the fart is neither released nor absorbed. It simply migrates back upward into the intestine and comes out later. It is reassuring to know that such farts aren't really lost, just delayed. How can one cover up a fart? There is a company called Fartypants that sells underwear designed to absorb the odor of farts. If you should be caught without your Fartypants, another ploy is to blame the dog or cat, if one should be present, or complain about how the wind must be blowing from the direction of the paper mill. As for the sound... if you are in a large group of people, act oblivious and innocent, or glance quickly at the person next to you, as if you think he/she did it. Other strategies include coughing or suddenly moving your chair so that people think that they misheard the fart. If you are with one other person, you can act as if nothing happened, and the other person may believe he was mistaken in thinking he heard a fart. CJT addresses the problem of farting loudly in a public restroom as follows: "My solution: use a handful of loose toilet paper, cover your butt hole and it will muffle the farting; my friends and I call it the 'Buff Muff'!" Depending upon the company, another strategy is not to cover it up, but to proudly proclaim the fart as your own grand accomplishment and to issue a challenge to the others to outdo that one if they think they can. Is it really possible to ignite farts? The answer to that is yes! However, you should be aware that people get injured igniting flatulence. Not only can the flame back up into your colon, but your clothing or other surroundings may catch on fire. A survey done by Fartcloud (the site, alas! is not more) indicates that about a quarter of the people who ignited their farts got burned doing it. Ignition of flatulence is a hazardous practice. However, if you want to try it, and you don't have a friend to light your fart for you, you might find it easier to accomplish the job using the Fartlighter. There have also been cases in which intestinal gases with a higher than normal oxygen content have exploded during surgery when electric cautery was used by the surgeon. Why is it possible to burn farts? Farts burn because they contain methane (usually) and hydrogen, both of which are flammable gases. (Hydrogen was the same gas that was used in the ill fated Hindenburg dirigible.) Farts tend to burn with a blue or yellow flame. Is it possible to light a match with a fart? No, even strike-anywhere matches have their limits, unless the fart has the consistency of sandpaper! Any fart that rough I would hesitate to call a fart. Also, farts have the same temperature as the body from which they emerge, and aren't hot enough to initiate combustion. Are there any books about farting? There are several! My favorite is the new book, Who Cut the Cheese: A Cultural History of the Fart by Jim Dawson. This book provides an entertaining and thought-provoking history of the fart in literature, language and society. It is very informative and very funny! Ben Franklin's classic Fart Proudly is still in print. There is a collection of suggestive photographs called Who Farted Now by St. Martin's Press. Most of the photos come from old movies and political shots. For children, we have the famous The Gas We Pass : The Story of Farts by Shinta Cho, and Amanda Mayer Stinchecum (Translator), and the Canadian picture book, Good Families Don't, by Alan Daniel and Robert N. Munsch, about a highly visible fart infesting a proper middle class family. Is it possible for a talented person to earn a living through flatulence? Few people earn their living directly via flatulence. But a friend of mine says that he saw a carnival act in which the performer whistled tunes with his farts, blew out candles on the opposite side of the stage, and sent flames all the way across the stage. A famous performer who earned his living this way was Le Petomane, who performed in France at the beginning of the 20th Century. However, my friend isn't old enough to have seen Le Petomane, so maybe he had a chance to see Mr. Methane. Mr. Methane lays claim to the distinction of being the world's only performing flatulist. His CD can be purchased at the FartMart. However, people may also earn a living through the prevention of flatulence (as do the manufacturers and sellers of Beano and other products), through the practice of medicine specializing in the treatment of flatulence and other gastrointestinal problems, by writing books about flatulence (see the question before this one), and through the production and sales of various fart gags such as whoopee cushions and farts in a can. Fartypants sells a fart filter and a number of other fart-related products. Ultratech Products, Inc., sells the Flatulence Filter, "an activated carbon air filter disguised as a seat cushion." (This link was discovered by Steve of Boulder, CO.) Maybe, if you're lucky, you'll be able to find a copy of Le Petomane's biography by searching at alibris.com. Last time I checked, they had two copies available! What other fart products are available? You can visit the FartMart to obtain an astounding number of wonderful fart products, including the famous Crepitation Contest CD, and several other recordings, Pull-My-Finger Fred (a doll that responds with farts and wisecracks), whoopie cushions and a variety of other fart-noise generating products (some of which are quite high tech), some products which produce a fart-like odor, prosthetic poop, fart sludge, and the famous Fart Machine. Why do dog and cat farts smell so bad? A carnivore's protein-rich diet produces relatively small amounts of intensely stinky gas because proteins contain lots of sulfur. A dog's or cat's farts are rarely audible, but the odor is overwhelming. I have asked biologists why dogs and cats generally fart silently, and their theories include: (1) the amount of gas produced is small, but potent, (2) the horizontal orientation of their gastrointestinal system puts less pressure on the anal opening, so the gas is expelled more slowly, (3) their anal sphincters don't close as tightly as humans' because it takes less force to hold in the contents of the colon -- again because of the horizontal orientation of the gastrointestinal system -- and a loose anus makes less sound, and, my favorite (4) dogs and cats don't feel embarrassed about farting, so their sphincters are more relaxed, leading to less noisy flatulence. Mike F. points out that many dog foods are soy-based, so on top of all the above factors, add beans and stand back! Large herbivorous animals such as cows, horses and elephants, on the other hand, produce vast quantities of relatively non-stinky fart gas. The farts of these animals are noisy and can go on for astoundingly long periods of time. Cows in particular are productive, in part because they swallow huge amounts of air. They need oxygen in their guts for the various protozoa employed there as digestive aids. Is it normal for dogs to like the smell of human farts? Yes, any odor that we find disgusting smells delicious to a dog. Dogs respond to the smell of farts, rotting fish, and carrion the same way we respond to the smell of bacon frying or cookies baking. A dog will often sniff the butt of the farter in order to inhale as much of the odor as possible. I have heard only one story about a dog being disconcerted by a fart. According to a friend, her brother once delivered a fart so evil that it made the dog sneeze, shake his head, and paw at his nose. That was either an unusual fart or an unusual dog. Do fish fart? According to our ichthyologist at the University of Guam, fish flatulence per se has not been studied, although people have investigated fish digestion. They find that although most fish have alkaline intestinal environments like our own, coral-eating fish have acidic intestinal contents. The acid serves to dissolve coral skeletal material. Coral has the same composition as Tums (calcium carbonate). One product of the reaction between acid and calcium carbonate is carbon dioxide gas. Therefore, it is logical to assume that coral-eating fish fart a lot. The other fish probably fart also, for the same reasons that we do. However, Mike Pulte, a great fish enthusiast, said that he has never seen a fish do it. I asked our ichthyologist if it were possible that fish gas would go into the swim bladder instead of out the anal opening. He said that modern fish have an air bladder that is independent of the gastrointestinal tract. The gas comes from enzymatic activity and not from the intestine. Older models of fish have their swim bladder connected to the gastrointestinal tract, but it is attached high up, closer to the mouth than to the other end, and these fish come to the surface and gulp air to fill the bladder. Therefore, we can assume that intestinal gas leaves the fish through the anal opening. We also pondered the possibility of fish making noise via flatulence, but apparently most fish noises are made through belching rather than farting. Lisa P., an aquarium enthusiast, reports that she has seen her fish fart: "I have four aquariums and many fish, and I have personally witnessed fish farting! My goldfish used to do it all the time! You'd see a little bubble come out of his anus and stay there, trapped in the mucus of a long string of poop. (Ugh!) And my opaline gourami does it too. Neither of these are coral-eating fish. I have only owned two coral-eating fish so far, but I have never seen either of them fart. It seems most likely to me that much of this gas comes from air swallowed during eating. Also, goldfish have a very simple digestive system and their food is absorbed inefficiently, so possibly the bacteria have more to feed on" Do turtles fart? Yes, turtles do fart, and their farts smell incredibly bad, as do the farts of snakes. In fact, it is my opinion, based on personal experience with reptiles and not on any formal research, that many reptiles use farts as a weapon. Reptile farts smell so bad that sometimes you can tell that one is nearby in the woods, even on a windy day, before you can see the animal. One day I was hiking through the woods in Arkansas with a friend and I told my friend, "I smell a snake fart." A second later, the snake crawled across the path. Astounding but true! In an article published in the December 2000 issue of Discover, "the world's leading expert on snake sounds," Bruce Young of LaFayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, affirmed that snakes do fart. The sonoran coral snake and the western hook-nosed snake fart with an audible popping sound when disturbed. Why do horse farts smell worse than people's farts? I'm not sure that horse farts smell worse than our farts, but they do smell different. Horses have a different diet from us and different gut microbes, so their farts have a different composition. They also fart more voluminously than humans, and the volume of the gas can be overwhelming if one is unfortunate enough to be near a farting horse indoors. What kind of animal has the highest worldwide output of flatulence? Believe it or not, the animal that wins this honor is the humble termite. Because of their diet and digestive processes (with more than the usual microbial assistance), they produce as much methane as human industry. Termite farts are believed to be a major contributor towards global warming. Is it true that cow farts contribute to global warming? Recent research has shown that most methane produced by cows and sheep emerges from the mouth rather than the anus. So one could more accurately say that cow and sheep belches are contributing to global warming. New Zealand researchers are investigating methods of breeding methane-free sheep. Is there any kind of animal that doesn't fart? If we define a fart to be an anal escape of intestinal gas, then it follows that animals that lack intestines or an anus cannot fart. Most animals possess intestines and an anus, but there are some that don't. These include: Sponges: These organisms lack true tissues and organs. They have just a few types of cells organized into a bag with holes in it. Water flows into some holes and out other holes. Sponges are so different from other animals that some biologists think we shouldn't even call them animals. Cnidaria: This phylum includes the jellyfish, corals, sea anemones and hydra. Their tissues are organized into a bag with a mouth surrounded by stinging tentacles. Food enters the mouth and is digested inside the bag, after which the leftovers are expelled via the same opening. In effect, the same hole serves as both a mouth and an anus. Any gas expelled by a cnidarian would be more appropriately termed a belch rather than a fart, since the animal lacks intestines and separate anus. Pogonophoran worms: These remarkable animals, who dwell on the sea floor near active volcanic regions associated with mid-ocean ridges, possess no mouth, no stomach, no intestines, and no anus. Apparently they retain their svelte, worm-shaped figures by giving up on eating completely! They survive by means of a mutualistic relationship with chemosynthetic bacteria that live in their flesh. Anyway, these animals cannot possibly fart. A second category of animals that probably don't fart are animals that live very deep underwater. At high pressures, gas remains in solution rather than forming bubbles. So there is a good chance that all those clams, echinoderms, fish and other animals living near the seafloor don't fart because their farts stay in solution and never emerge as bubbles, even though the animals possess perfectly good intestines and anuses. Is it possible to leave a brown spot on your pants because of a fart, and if so, what causes it? Judging from what I see when I do the laundry, I'd say that the answer to the first question is definitely yes. As for the causes, we must remember that what we call "fart" and what we call "poop" are just end-members of a continuum. That is, we can have a pure fart, or a pure poop, or anything in-between, depending upon the admixture of the two. If a sample consists mostly of poop with only a small fart component, you get such things as jet-propelled bowel movements and spongy, floating fecal masses (you know, the ones that refuse to be flushed down the toilet -- they keep popping back up). If the sample consists mostly of fart with only a small poop component, you get what is known as "skid marks" or "fart art." These can also result from inadequate wiping, but the shape of the stain is different in the two cases. Inadequate wiping leads to elongate marks parallel to one's crack, usually with well-defined edges, whereas fart art is generally more circular and has an air-brushed look. Fart art is most likely to occur if (1) a person is suffering from diarrhea, (2) the person is trying too hard to fart, and (3) the person mistakenly perceives the pressure against his sphincter to be gas pressure rather than liquid pressure. Again, that last situation is most likely to occur if the person is afflicted with diarrhea. How can we tell when it's only gas needing to come out, rather than something more serious? Our ability to distinguish between the need to fart and the need to poop is something that we learn gradually in the process of toilet training and early childhood. With the tactile nerve endings in the rectal area, we can actually feel different sensations depending upon what is waiting by the exit. Of course, sometimes we are fooled, especially if the substance at hand is extremely fluid in nature, and that is when we have the unfortunate accident of venting a squirt of diarrhea rather than an innocent fart. What is the best position for farting? That depends on what you are trying to achieve. Years and years ago, I read a novel (can't remember which) that had a character in it who was plagued with intestinal gas pain. The character would coax farts out by getting down on all fours with her butt in the air, pressing her thighs against her belly. So perhaps this is the best position for farting if you are having difficulty getting them to come out. Back when I was in geology field camp, we would sit around the campfire in the evening and ignite our flatulence. It was a ritual. When a fart was ready to emerge, the farter would announce, "I have one." And everyone else would intone, "Assume the proper position." The farter would lie back on his or her shoulders with back propped up, head between the knees, and posterior in the air. The purpose was to give the person with the match easy access to the critical vent. Expert farters of my acquaintance often shift their weight onto one leg and lift the other slightly when farting. I assume that this position is adopted less to aid in the farting process than to signal that a fart is imminent. Why do chicks always deny farting? I suppose I should start by saying that only some chicks deny farting. The rest of us acknowledge our gaseous accomplishments with pride. However, a great many sisters do deny farting. The reason is that they have been misled into thinking that farts are not ladylike. It is a great mistake to say that farting is not ladylike. The reason is that all people fart, including ladies. Anything that ladies do is by definition ladylike, and that includes the emission of anal gases. Is it possible that, by inhaling other people's farts all day long, my own farts will smell more? No, inhaled farts would go into the lungs rather than into the digestive system, and would simply be exhaled again, although it might be possible that some of the fart components might be absorbed into the blood. If you wanted to benefit from other people's farts in the way you describe, you would have to swallow them somehow. Is it possible to get stoned after inhaling two or three farts in a row? I am not aware of any intoxicating agents in flatulence. However, most farts contain very little oxygen, and you may experience dizziness if you are inhaling overly concentrated fart essence, simply from lack of oxygen. On the other hand, if you are inhaling farts in the open air and are breathing rapidly in order to inhale as much fart as possible, you may be hyperventilating, which also induces dizziness. Then there is the intrinsic hilarity factor: farts are so funny in both sound and odor that you might feel high just from the basic entertainment value of farts. Is it possible for a fart to kill you? A great many of you have asked if farts can be fatal, or if you can die from smelling a particularly bad fart. My initial response to this question was "no," but I thought I'd better ask a doctor. So now it is official, the medical opinion I received is no, a fart can't kill you. However, if you really work hard at it, you can manage to kill yourself with just about anything. I recently read of a man who hooked up his nose to his anus with a system involving a gas mask, rubber tubing and a hollow wooden post. He died of suffocation. This story comes from the Darwin Awards, and I personally cannot attest to the overall veracity of their stories. The story of the bed-bound obese man who died from inhaling his own flatulence (and whose farts almost killed the paramedics) is an urban legend that has been in circulation for some time. But according to Buzzbomb43, whom I quote: "In World War Two, the Air Force estimates that around 1000 to 2000 airmen were killed because of flatulence. The reason is B-17 bombers were not pressurized, so when bomber crews operated around 20,000 feet, the gas would expand and rupture their intestines." Now, that is a nasty way to go! There are also, of course, (in)famous stories about excessive farters that bio-hazard small toilet rooms, and when they try to light a cigarette the flame ignites the gas-rich-environment causing an explosion. My personal view about such stories is one of doubt. When you smoke and you fart does it make it smell any worse? (Brittney) Only if you swallow the cigarettes after smoking Brittney. If you settle for traditional smoking (inhaling) - the smoke will travel to your respiratory system and not to your digestive system and hence will have little-to-no effect on the odour of your farts. Of course, a minute mass of smoked Nicotine can (and does) migrate from the respiratory system into blood vessels and downstream to the digestive system (Nicotine is actually a known laxative), but the proportions are too small to contribute dearly to the odours you contribute. However, if you do swallow your cigarettes after smoking - its a different ball game. Cigarettes are produced with measures of Ammonia which certainly intensify gaseous odours. My advise for you therefore is not to swallow. I am guessing the reason why certain people think cigarettes might intensify the bad smell of a fart has to do with the fact both farts and cigarettes produce bad odours. I don't think however that this is a case of competing bad odours that in blend will create a third - even worst odour. Last, while I do not advise you to ever quit farting - I do strongly advise to quit smoking. Can excessive farting cause impotence? That depends on the tolerance level of the person with whom one is trying to be potent! Fortunately for humans, farting doesn't cause tissue damage. Other animals aren't so lucky. Soldier termites can actually turn themselves into bombs by detonating themselves via the explosive release of gas and feces, a process called "autothysis." Is it possible to inhale (suck in air) via one's anal opening? Yes, but it's a rare talent. The great early 20th Century French flatulist, Le Petomane, was able to do this, and in fact was able to suck up an entire bowlful of water (just the water, not the bowl) into his colon and expel it again with considerable force. By sucking in large quantities of air, he was able to perform lengthy shows on stage, and could imitate musical instruments, farm animals, and bird songs, whistle melodies, and play the ocarina. His productions were said to be virtually odorless, which is to be expected from air obtained directly from the outside. Here is a message I received recently (November, 1999) regarding the skill of inhaling via the anus: "i would just like you to know that i am part of a trio, who can suck in air in our anal openings. we are somewhat air-bandits. we can let the longest farts you have ever heard. our record holder, chad, stands at 24 sec. the record for most farts in a row is derek, at 492. and i, robert, have earned such nicknames as: Mad Crapper, gurglemeister, and old wetful. We have followed Le Petomane example, and have mastered the art of farting." Jason W. says, "I am a 16 year old guy that is a part of a 3-man fart on command group. We get together every Saturday night andpractice our talent to songs with a good beat. We accomplish this by getting on our hands and knees, completely relaxing, and our butt hole just opens up and air just seeps into our colons. We then get into position and let them rip. We can so far play a song called "THE EYE OF THE TIGER" (Rocky 3 theme song). We came across another group of 4 guys that can do this during the winter of 2001. We started to get together with them more frequently, and now we have a full fledged band going all on farting...We are going to try to make a CD on some songs we know, but no one wants to let us...I personally have let a fart go for about 75 seconds. On average each Saturday night we let off about 1000 farts EACH! The only problem with flatulating when we want is that now 2 of us can't help but sucking in air through our anus when we sit down." Jason has also provided the following instructions for people who would like to acquire this skill: 1) Get a pillow and a soft surface. 2) Place your ear on the pillow with your head turned sideways. 3) Put your butt up in the air, bringing your knees as close up to your head as possible. This relaxes your anal opening. 4) Once you're relaxed enough, you should feel a strange sensation...this is air traveling into your colon. 5) Through practice you will be able to do this by just sitting down. Adam reports that a student at his high school, known as "The King" could fart "God Save the Queen" by alternately inhaling and exhaling through his anus. The students refered to the inhaling process as "input." Is it possible to swallow smoke and then fart it out your anus? No, smoke consists of solid particles suspended in air. When such a mixture enters the digestive system, the solids condense on the walls and other objects in the gut, or go into suspension in liquids in the system. However, for people capable of inhaling through the anus, it is possible to smoke a cigarette with the anal opening and then blow the smoke back out. What causes the burning sensation that sometimes accompanies a fart? This is generally caused by a recent meal of hot peppers or related spices. The oils associated with these foods remain intact and active all the way through one's gastrointestinal system. If you fart in the bathtub, is the water polluted and should you refill the tub? As long as what comes out is only fart and no poop, your bath water should not be significantly polluted. Most of the gas just bubbles up and contaminates the air rather than the water. Is it true that a woman can fart out of her, shall we say, frontal opening, and if so, where does the gas come from? Yes, it is true! The gas that emerges is simply trapped air, for there is no gas production in the genitalia of a woman. The air can enter because the system is open to the outside. This highly specialized kind of fart is sometimes called a queef. This occurs especially frequently during the sex act, when air in the genitalia gets compressed and is forced out at high pressure. Can a man fart out of his genital opening? I have asked various men this question and they all deny it emphatically. However, elrondh contributed the information that under certain rare and artificially-induced circumstances, a man might pass gas through his penis. In this case, the man's bladder had been inflated for a medical procedure, the air introduced via catheter inserted through the urethra. This gas escaped during later attempts to urinate, "accompanied by a brief but sharp burning sensation." Is it possible to capture a fart in a jar and save it for later use? It should be theoretically possible to do this, but there would be lots of logistical problems. I would suggest using a plastic bag instead of a jar. You might try the following as a science fair experiment: Fart into several plastic bags and seal them carefully. Then fill several other plastic bags with ordinary air. Wait 24 hours. Then get volunteers to smell the contents of the bags to see if they can correctly identify which ones contain the farts. This should tell you if it is possible to store a fart in any useful way. Malachi and Megaera have come up with a way to capture a fart in a jar. They say to do it in the bathtub while bathing. Fill the jar with bath water and then hold it with the open end downward. Lean back in the bathtub so that your fart bubbles will emerge in front of you rather than behind you where you can't see them. Catch the bubbles in the jar, and put the lid on the jar while it's still underwater. This way, you capture a fairly pure fart uncontaminated by atmospheric air. To enjoy your captured fart to the fullest extent, make sure that your jar does not already smell like whatever was it it before, like pickles or peanut butter. Meep wrote to say that her fiancé was an expert fart collector at the age of ten. He used Kodak film canisters, and kept them on a shelf in his room. Experiments on his mother proved the efficacy of his method. Is it weird to enjoy farting? It is not unusual to enjoy farting. I believe that enjoyment of farting is a healthy attitude, since everyone has to fart. If a person is farting to the extent that it creates problems and unhappiness, then a visit to a doctor is in order. Is it common for people to enjoy smelling their own farts? I believe that it is not only common, it is universal. A person farts and then thinks, at least subconsciously, "Wow, I made that!" Can farting be considered sexy? Everything imaginable, and many things not imaginable, can be considered sexy by humans. However, the female southern pine beetle exudes a pheromone called frontalin in her flatulence that not only serves to attract males but acts as a general gathering call to both males and females of her species. Her farts are an invitation to an orgy. Unfortunately for her, her frontalin-laden farts also attract predators. What color is a fart? Farts are, alas, colorless. All of the gases that make up farts have no inherent color. But just think of how interesting it would be if farts were bright orange like nitrogen dioxide gas! It would certainly take the mystery out of who farted. Never-the-less, a high-personality gas like fart gas suggests color to people. Some people envision farts as brown, others as green or yellow. I have always thought of farts as brown, presumably because poop is brown. When someone farts in our car, that person might say, "You better not breathe through your mouth for awhile, or your teeth will turn brown." I knew a toddler who used to draw pictures of farts as yellow rectangles full of holes, like a slice of Swiss cheese. She thought of farts as yellow, and said that she knew they were rectangular because she could feel the sharp corners scraping against her on the way out! Ernie C. suggests that if farts were visible, they would look like pork rinds. Helen says, "It always seemed to me like farts were lumps of coal, black in color and irregularly spherical in shape." Do other people smell a fart better than the farter? The fart should smell just as much for the person who created it as it does for other people. However, the farter is somewhat protected by having the fart propelled away from his body in a direction opposite to his nose. Farting upwind nullifies this advantage. Why is it that when you scratch your *** through two layers of clothing (your underwear and your jeans) your fingers still stink? As pointed out by Barb F., who contributed the term to the fart thesaurus, a fart can be regarded as "aerosolized poop," which means that microscopic fragments and droplets of poop are actually distributed throughout the gaseous matrix of the fart. When delivered from the anus with some force, the components of the fart can penetrate one's clothing and these tiny particles can be trapped in the fibers of the cloth. The particles are transferred to your fingers and then your nose when you scratch and sniff. Why is it sometimes possible to taste farts? The sense of taste detects substances that are either liquid or dissolved in liquid. You can taste a fart when the fart's constituent molecules go into solution in your saliva. Do fart particles disperse in the air and float around until they hit something and then stick to it? The ultimate fate of fart particles depends on the nature of the particles. Gas molecules mostly mix into the atmosphere, although some may react chemically to form new substances. Aerosolized particles of liquid and solid poop probably do condense on surfaces. Most of these particles are polar (with a positively charged end and a negatively charged end) and are attracted to other polar substances or charged surfaces like a monitor screen. Other fart particles condense on microscopic water droplets in the air if the humidity is very high (as in a bathroom), and some particles go into solution in water. Is it possible to have bloody farts? Yes, this can happen if you are suffering from an anal fissure, a split in the wall of the colon. It can also happen to a woman who experiences a queef during her period. Why do farts seem to follow the farter? I'm sure that everyone has experienced this phenomenon, in which one delivers oneself forth of a silent but potent gaseous emission and then steps rapidly away, only to have the fart cling to one's person. Part of the reason for this annoying characteristic of farts is the turbulence that follows in the wake of a moving person. The fart "slip streams" or is actually pulled along in the farter's direction by the air currents behind the person. Another factor is that part of the fart is caught in the farter's clothing, and diffuses out slowly after the main part of the emission has dispersed. Why do farts smell so much worse in a shower than anywhere else? There are several factors. First of all, a shower is a small, enclosed space, so the fart gas is more concentrated, and the high turbidity of the air in the shower circulates the gas through the space effectively. Secondly, the high humidity and high temperature conditions in the shower enhance a person's sense of smell and taste. The farts don't actually smell worse, it's just that we can smell them better than usual. Similar conditions prevail in the bathtub. What would happen if someone farted on Venus? If Venus's surface temperature were a mere 200 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, liquid water could exist there because of Venus's extremely high atmospheric pressure. But the temperature on Venus is almost 900 degrees Fahrenheit. Because humans are mostly water, a person would not simply emit gas on Venus, but would become gas, a whole-body fart. Venus already has a lot of sulfur compounds in its atmosphere, so a fart on Venus probably wouldn't even produce much of a smell. If you were in space without a suit, would a fart have the energy to propel you forward? Yes, a fart should propel you forward, since there is virtually no opposing force in the form of friction or gravity to counteract the force of the fart. Is it possible to freeze farts, and would they still be smelly after they are defrosted? The water vapor component of farts would freeze quite readily, but to freeze the entire fart would require high pressure and low temperature conditions such as that used to produce dry ice. The fart's composition would be unchanged by the process, and hence would still be smelly upon reversion to the gaseous state. Is it possible for a fart to rip your underwear? This is unlikely, because most underwear is made of material with a fairly high tensile strength, meaning that it can endure a certain level of extensional stress without brittle failure. Furthermore, the porous nature of underwear fabrics allows much of the fart's force to pass through the spaces rather than to stress the fabric. Where does the word "fart" come from? According to Eric Partridge in his excellent book of word origins (Origins: A Short Etymological Dictionary of Modern English), our word fart comes from the Old English word feortan, presumably of echoic origin, meaning that the word was chosen to sound like the object named. When it is cold outside and you fart, can you see it like you can see your breath? Now, that's an interesting idea! My guess would be yes, since farts are nice and moist like our breath, but this is one question that I'm not in a position to answer. I live in the tropics, and it never gets cold here. Several people have tried the experiment and have written to tell me the results. Most people said that they could indeed see their farts, but one person said that he couldn't see it even with his pants off. Here is what anywhere32 reported: "In the boys' locker room after morning water polo practice it was cold out and one of the players only had on his speedo and let out a fart. About four of us saw it and couldn't contain our laughter for the rest of the day." John of the UK said, "Farts expelled in cold air leave what can only be described as a long bushy tail. This is quite funny waiting on a train station platform on a cold dark frosty morning. A person will move away from everyone to a safe distance, and then release a long quiet fart, only to have a sudden and dramatic long bushy white tail coming from their anus; it goes down a little way and slowly curves up ending in a point, just like a dogs tail!" What are some other words for fart? The word "fart" is both a noun (referring to the substance and the sound), and a verb (referring to the act of farting). i seriously have no idea how this was posted as r & s!!!! but i hope u enjoy it as wierd as it is! i just copied and pasted it!! i thought it was funny

What do you think of this blog by G. Craig Lewis's? G. Craige Lewis Blog This is a one-way blog and comments are not allowed. Because of the message that we preach, people post comments filled with obscenities and vulgarities on a regular basis and I cannot stand before God knowing that I may have lead someone astray by the misleading words of another being hosted here.

Tuesday, July 08, 2008 Jezebel's Finest Hour Part 2 - Effiminate Nation The Jezebel spirit is a strong spirit when operating through a woman. You have seen the examples of Juanita Bynum and Paula White, all poised to dilute the gospel of peace and wreak havoc upon the body of Christ. This spirit tears up churches, emasculates and seduces men of god into webs of deceit and sexual bondage. I'm sure you have noticed how these women confessed of their early life molestations and rapes, and entered the scene looking modest and submissive. They all seemed to start out humble and spiritual. But then, once the money poured in and their influence grew, they went for the gold. Makeup galore, face lifts, body toning and plastic surgery. Getting fit and trim enough to leave their husbands only to begin showing off their new (offering and tithe purchased) bodies, showing the world their independent sexiness. The modest look no longer was necessary because thousands of women were hooked. Now they could weave their web of deceit even thicker by moving from God's girls to worldly women. But what happens when the Jezebel spirit occupies a man? What happens when this seducing spirit entices men through a man? I know that sounds crazy, but we have this happening right now before our eyes. Yes, Bishop TD Jakes is the dawning of a new era of men that possess a seducing spirit meant to entice men of God into a web of deceit and sexual submission. How, you may ask? Well, unless you are from Mars you had to have picked up on a serious "effeminate friendly" spirit on this man. And unless you just flew in from Pluto, you know that he has most black preachers and pastors that wanna be something in his world submitting to his money and power. He has single handedly turned the act of preaching into the art of pimping. Preaching damnable heresies and false doctrine, while bumping elbows with the Luciferian elite and Hollywood's iconic celebrity stars. Now, preachers are seeking what Jakes has. They want the money, the fame, the access to the stars, the television, the movies, the parties and elite celebrations. They want access to Oprah and Dr. Phil. They want mega churches and super conferences. They want secular and sacred mixtures to draw the masses and water down the message. They want a television audience without even drawing their own communities to their churches. They have been seduced, but the bitter end is coming early for many of them. They are falling like flies. They are getting caught with their pants down literally! They are being set up to fall and the Devil is laughing while he preserves his "queen" and keeps her spirit safe in the body of a cunning leader. While his family is tormented by internet rumors, while his spiritual children are tormented by divorce and immoral exposures, and while his church congregation is plagued with homosexual and lesbian spirits, he continues to lift himself up and use every avenue possible for a financial exchange. Even TD Jakes bibles studies in his churches are costly. Everything is for sale and nothing is free. Charging upwards of 50,000 dollars to come to your event and then charging admission at the door as well as several offerings tells us that this is a money thing. But even further investigations tells us of a spirit that lies deep within. A sexually seducing spirit that comes to seduce men into allegiances with him for gain and earthly glory. Shouldn't a bishop be an example of a Godly leader to the church and the world? Then why is the very world that TD Jakes is suppose to be winning, outing him all over the internet for having an earring removed from his own pictures after he wore it at his daughters wedding? Yes, the world is wondering why his sons are wearing dreads and earrings and his daughter is sporting a tattoo on her back? You see, even the secular media feels that a Bishop should be a role model and have a family that reflects his teaching and morality. From Media Takeout to the Hick Town Press, the secular online media is eating this up and exposing these things at random. But at least we can give the world credit for believing in the bible's definition of a Bishop more than most modern day church folks.. According to scripture a Bishop should have his children under all gravity of his words and he himself should be blameless right? Well, an earring wearing bishop that is close friends with a drag queen doesn't sound like a blame free situation! What kind of straight man hangs around drag queens? Tyler Perry is a drag queen just like Rue Paul. There is no difference. They both wear women's clothes and entertain as women. That is the definition of a drag queen. What is a bishop doing being very close friends with a man that cross dresses? Now, if you are not pentecostal or do not believe in holiness or hell, then this article might upset you or even cause you to see this as touching God's anointed. But you that believe holiness is a way of living and that God is not pleased with the mixture of the world and the church will understand why this blog is necessary. It's about time someone said what the Holy people of God need to hear! That's the way I feel. I am just a man of God expressing his true love for holiness and righteousness. Sure, no one is perfect and we all have sinned. Sure some preachers have difficulty with their children and many have made errors in judgment. But I'm not talking about those things. I'm talking about a man who is high and lifted up as the example for the modern day black Bishop! The man that has defended piercing his ears and mixing with the world. The man that has encouraged pastors to seek money, fame, and power at the expense of Holiness and God's way! The man that has made it okay to deny the savior for a greater audience. The man that has captivated many former holiness believers and turned them into carnal crusaders! Okay, now for the history of the earring on a male. In the bible days, it was a symbol of slavery. Slaves were tagged on their ears for identification and ownership. Later, in the Egyptian culture, the mark of 2 earrings or multiple piercings on a male represented bi-sexuality and whoreish behavior. And all the great kings and leaders of Godless civilizations that were lascivious in behavior wore them as this symbol. In the early 70's pimps started wearing 1 earring in the black community as a symbol of slavery to sex. It meant that you were a player and enjoyed multiple sex partners. It was called Macho from the term Machismo which means excessive male or extreme male. This is what the single earring meant and still means. 2 earrings on a man was, and in most cases still is, a symbol of bi-sexuality. And now, since our young black boys are emasculated and becoming very effeminate because of the lack of fathers in the home, the 2 earrings are taking their age old meaning once again. How dare a pentecostal Bishop wear a symbol of macho or "slave to sex"? He is the model and now the weak pastors that have embraced his beliefs will begin to wear these things. God forbid! Don't forget the spirit of these things are still following these ritualistic acts of defiance. Did we forget about the spirit realm? As if the black race needs another bad role model. And his sons and now son in law wear 2 earrings?? Lord help us! But Jakes can get away with this. He has gotten away with false teachings before and all the folks that left their pastors that they could touch for a man they will never meet have bought into this. He can teach whatever and they will listen! For example, He has accused Naomi and Ruth in book of Esther of having a relationship that "bordered lesbianism". He has said it's "understandable" for a man to have affections for other men because when God made man, women was inside of him?" He has promoted every homosexual gospel singer in the industry and has even presented a lifetime achievement award to Bobby Jones? Every since the very first Megafest conference, I have been warning the body of Christ of where this was going. Any man that will invite false god worshipers like India Arie or Will Smith to take the stage at a pentecostal type conference is not God lead. Let's not even mention what went on in the men's restrooms and the alley ways of Hot-lanta, the mecca for homosexual church goers! Let's call it what it is people. No more games. No more closed eyes. No more foolishness. Jakes has lead an effeminate movement and cause sexually confused men to be labeled "hemotional" rather than homosexual! Through basic semantics, he has turned the men into the weaker vessel and made the women the "leading ladies". He preaches to women in 3rd person using the words "we" and "us" when speaking of women in distress or women with purpose. And yet pastors have sent their members to his conferences with their blessing and they have campaigned to be on his platform no matter what it costs them. He is looked upon by the church as an icon, but looked upon by the world as a money making worldly partner. Jakes has also began denying that Christ is the ONLY way to Heaven by stating that the “Other sheep that are not of this fold” are other religions or beliefs and saying that he cannot rule out an inclusive rapture of the saints of God, leaving it open for others that may not believe in Jesus? His exact quote to a Muslim's question as to whether only Christians go to Heaven: "When it comes to Heaven, I try to leave that up to God. I certainly believe that Christianity is right, but when it comes down to the final test--who goes and who doesn't go--Jesus said, Other sheep have I who are not of this fold. Them also must I bring. I'll let Him identify who those sheep are and I stay out of the conversation." Here is the audio clip of him refusing to take an opportunity to preach the gospel to the muslim that calls, but rather leaving it wide open for confusion. Click the video play button. John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold” [Jesus was speaking to the Jews, who had been frequently spoken of in Scripture as God’s flock. The other sheep were Gentiles. They are spoken of as scattered sheep, and not as flocks, because with them there was no unity. WHEN THE APOSTLE PAUL WROTE TO THE CHRISTIANS IN THE CITY OF EPHESUS HE GAVE WITNESS TO WHAT CHRIST HAD SAID BY STATING “Eph. 2:16 And [He designed] to reconcile to God both [Jew and Gentile, united] in a single body by means of His cross, thereby killing the mutual enmity and bringing the feud to an end. This is truly the finest hour for the spirit of Jezebel. This time she has promoted a man that allows her to seduce other men to follow his way and ignore God's law of holiness and righteousness. A man that can buy a 5000 seat building in Texas and fill it up the first Sunday with no evangelism whatsoever, has a spirit on him and it's not the spirit of God. Those people that filled that church were from other churches and drawn by the spirit of Jezebel and seduced into an emotional temple that is now plagued with homosexuals and perverts. As the television drew the crowds and the star struck people were lead in blindly, the spirit of Jezebel had an agenda all along. To make the gospel second to the show and to cause people to not hear but to feel. Now, what do we have people of God? A nation of carnal believers lead by the spirit of a women, working through a man. I can now understand how Tyler Perry is one of his closest friends because they are one in the same. There is a woman's role that Jakes loves to play and that is the role of Jezebel. 1Cor. 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1Tim. 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Jude 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Til He Comes, G. Craige Lewis

Olde english Bulldogge's in Aurora Colorado? I have a Olde English Bulldogge and live in Aurora Colorado. Recently, the city of Aurora has passed a fighting breed ban (Information below). THE REAL QUESTION??? IS MY DOG BANNED??? :( My dog is Olde English (information can be found on wiki or other sites): PROBLEM IS THAT OLDE ENGLISH HAS 1/6 AMERICAN AND 1/6 PIT BULL. Olde English Bulldogge Healthy, loyal and courageous, the Olde English Bulldogge is a modern reconstruction of the original bulldog bred and used to fight bulls in England. This breed was developed by David Leavitt by crossing the modern English Bulldog with a Bull Mastiff, Pit bull, and American Bulldog mix. Leavitt desired to produce a dog that was free from the health problems of English Bulldogs, but maintained their temperament. Olde English Bulldogges should be free from breathing problems and should be able to breed and whelp on their own. While still resembling the English Bulldog, Olde English Bulldogges have longer snouts and are taller and more proportionate. They maintain the loving, loyal nature of the English Bulldog and make excellent family pets.

please translate to spanish pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease? Industry has expanded considerably since World War II, with particularly significant progress in the electronics, transport, processing, and construction industries. France is the fourth-leading industrial power, after the US, Japan, and Germany (although France was surpassed by the United Kingdom in 2001 as the world's fourth largest economy). In 2002, the industrial sector accounted for 26% of GDP and around 25% of the labor force. Manufacturing accounted for 16%, construction 4%, and energy generation 3% of GDP in 2001. Manufacturing accounts for around three-quarters of total exports of goods and services, which amounted to 29% of GDP in 2000. The state has long played an active role in French industry, but government involvement was greatly accelerated by a series of nationalization measures enacted by the Socialists in 1982. By 1983, about one-third of French industry—3,500 companies in all—was under state control. However, there was some privatization during 1986–88, later resumed in 1993, with 21 state-owned industries, banks, and insurance companies scheduled to be sold. Although substantial progress had been made in privatization in 2001, the government still controlled such industries as aeronautics, defense, automobiles, energy, and telecommunications. The steel industry, which employed some 77,300 workers in 1991 (down from 156,000 in 1979), suffered from the impact of worldwide recession in the early 1980s. In 1995, production totaled 18 million tons of crude steel, placing France 11th in world production. Production has been down by a third since 1994 because of international competition and a general shift away from steel to aluminum and plastics. The French aluminum industry is dominated by a factory in Dunkirk owned by Pechiney, which was privatized at the end of 1995. In 1995, the French automotive industry, ranked fourth in the world, directly employed 350,000 workers and contributed indirectly to almost 2.6 million jobs. Over 3,628,000 passenger cars were produced in 2001, and over 55,000 commercial vehicles were produced in 2000. The two leading companies are PSA (which controls the Peugeot and Citroen brands) and Renault, the latter state-owned. Approximately 60% of production is exported helping the automotive industry to post a $6 billion trade surplus in 1995. The domestic market, however, has fallen pray to foreign competitors, especially from Germany and Japan, forcing the French auto makers to make greater use of robots, layoff workers, and open plants abroad. The French aircraft industry, not primarily a mass producer, specializes in sophisticated design and experimental development. Some of its models, such as the Caravelle and the Mirage IV, have been used in over 50 countries. Aérospatiale, among the world's leading makers of commercial aircraft, became a state company after World War II. The Airbus program dominates civil aeronautics. The chemical industry, although not as strong its rivals in Germany and the US, ranks fourth in the world employing nearly 300,000 and generating over $70 billion in revenues. In 1994, the pharmaceuticals, perfume, and cosmetics industry employed 195,000, and posted a trade surplus of $6.4 billion. The electrical and electronics industry employed 330,000 workers in 1994 and had a turnover of $59.2 billion. The textile industry employed 300,000 workers in 1994. The food processing industry is a major force in the French economy, producing a considerable trade surplus of $6.2 billion in 1995. Cooperative ventures are particularly important to the food industry, representing 16% of turnover and 11% of food industry jobs. Trade surplus in dairy products was $2.6 billion in 1995. In 1994, France produced 54.6 million hectoliters of wine, making it the world's second-largest producer after Italy. The great concentrations of French industry are in and around Paris, in the coal basin of northern France, in Alsace and Lorraine, and around Lyon and Clermont-Ferrand. French industry, in general, is strong on inventiveness, inclined toward small-scale production of high-quality items, and reluctant in many branches to adopt modern methods of mass production. The French government offers subsidies and easy credit to firms undertaking relocation, reconversion, or plant modernization. Agribusiness is an increasingly important industry, supplying France's vast number of restaurants and hotels.
