I have a quick question. We just finished boat races and I need to calcuate the bouyant force "exerted onto your boat by the water" as well as the "volume of water displaced by your boat."

We know that 1kg=1liter of water and 1 gallon=8.35lbs of water.

If you can please show me how (math-wise) I would appreciate it. I want to understand it too if I may ask, the answer is just a number but knowing how to calcuate it out is half the struggle. =)

Acceptance ~ Robert Frost

When the spent sun throws up its rays on cloud
And goes down burning into the gulf below,
No voice in nature is heard to cry aloud
At what has happened. Birds, at least must know
It is the change to darkness in the sky.
Murmuring something quiet in her breast,
One bird begins to close a faded eye;
Or overtaken too far from his nest,
Hurrying low above the grove, some waif
Swoops just in time to his remembered tree.
At most he thinks or twitters softly, 'Safe!
Now let the night be dark for all of me.
Let the night be too dark for me to see
Into the future. Let what will be, be.

can you help find the imagery, aural imagery, symbols, irony, theme or allusion?

I have gotten numerous responses to this whole BCS thing with Hawaii and I must say that most of them were ignorant only because they keep repeating the same thing....weak schedule. How weak was OSU's schedule if they barely beat Michigan who lost to APP STATE??? People are saying Hawaii escaped at La Tech bla bla bla. The solution is so simple but no one listens. 11 conferences...take the winner of each conference and have them play the 2-3 extra games needed in the playoff's I mean geeze there is only 51 days until the BCS title game so I think there is time to "squeeze" it in. Did the BCS computer figure out that South Florida would shut down WV or that LSU would lose to KU? OSU to Illinois? No because it was figured out on the field and no computer can EVER predict who the better team is. It all boils down to money ratings and sponsors. It is all about who they think people want to see play rather than who should play. I AM NOT A HAWAII FAN but a fan of fair-play and not politics.

Ive always been fansinated with people defying gravity and phyicis and i was reading on eastern religons about chakras and came up with my own working tecnique of walking on water all you need is faith .

1 Open up all your chakras for information on how visit (http://www.crystalinks.com/chakras.html)

2 You can do this on your bath fill the bath tup up 75 percent up the way and lie down in it

3 Close your eyes and Say "I am not condemed to the laws of gravity" Ten times or more untill you really belive it

4 I am water water is me i am like water repeat ten times

open your eyes and stand up stand in a balanced way so you can begin you can walk on water by distributing weight in such a way that surface tension does not break, there will be sufficient buoyancy to avoid sinking below the surface


5 jump up and you will be standing on the water

I know the tecnique does work if you have your chakras open and belive.

and even says that with the repeal of the Brady Ban on semi-automatics he is freer now than before.

I believe that with the PATRIOT Act and the general feelings of fear pervading the country that we are less free.

What do you guys think? Do you feel more or less free? Have your rights been intruded upon?

What many non-pagans want to know is why do many of us have to cast a circle everytime that we wish to do one of our rituals? Why not just have a church or a specific "sacred" place that we use ALL the time? They have noticed that we seldom use the same place everytime we worship and are curious as to why?

I know that there are many types of circles and they are ALL sacred spaces BUT they do not understand our need for this and this is one question that I have been asked numerous times by non-pagans. Please be as specific as possible.

How does one get good exposure when the subjects in the frame are mostly dark (like a dark scene or a very cloudy day)? Or really bright (like a sunny Summer day on the beach at noon)? What if the frame contains parts that are really bright and really dark (like taking a picture of a tree in the shade, with the background sunny)? Thanks!!!

PS: I have a Canon XT camera, Tamron 17-50MM lens, and Canon 70-200 f4L lens. Thanks again!

During the repulsive debauchery in the streets of SF, young children were allowed to watch lewd and laschivious acts.

This happened in Nancy's district. Why does she refuse to condemn it? Where was "Arnold"?

"ZERO" arrests were made and the police were participating.

Where do we draw the line???
