I've only lived in San Francisco, Berkeley and now Los Angeles.|||I live in NC and certain cities are very gay friendly, especially college towns (Chapel Hill, Greensboro, Asheville). However there are many more small towns than there are college towns and and the small towns typically consist of redneck fundamentalist christians who jump people for being gay. Literally, I went to a christian high school in a small town and an openly gay student at the school got jumped by 3 "christians" but he was the one who got suspended because the 3 guys claimed he started it even though they had him in a corner kicking and beating him. So it really all depends on where you live and who you associate with. I live in one of the college towns now so I experience no prejudice or homophobia. On campus I can actually hold my bf's hand and not get shot by a crazy homophobe.

How does a seat belt save your life in a car accident? regarding momentum?
When you are involved in a car accident, there are usually 3 impacts. Vehicle impact, your impact with the interior, and or organs. It is aseat beltevetable to never have any car accidents. So, by wearing a seat belt, you stop the bodily impact with the interior of the car, and reduce the organs impact with your body.|||a seat belt does not save a life i been i 3 crashes and lived without a seat belt but my friend was in one and died with a seat belt the belt that was made to save her killed by snapping her neck there the window called whip lash they dont save any one
|||ookie, if youre going in a car and it suddenly stops your body will want to keep going forward:a body in motion stays in motion and a body at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an otherwise unbalanced force. the momentum will want your body to keep going forward, but the momentum will want you to keep going forward causing you to fly through the windshield, but thanks to the seatbelt being there it causes you to stop :) haha hope that made sense its been a bit since ive had to answer a question liek thatt in school.|||Newton's First Law of Motion, aka the Law of Inertia states:
Objects not moving will not move until an outside force acts on it, and All objects maintain their momentum until an outside force acts on it.
Because your body has inertia, if you aren't wearing your seatbelt and the car suddenly stops, you will still have momentum and continue to move forward, potentially hitting something in front of you.|||I'm pretty sure that when someone brakes really quickly/ you thrust forward quickly/ stretch out the seatbelt too much (any of these), your seatbelt doesn't keep on rolling out, it stops to catch you, and then after you move back to a normal seating position or unbuckle and rebuckly, it's not as tight anymore.|||I don't think it does, unless you buckle up TIGHTLY, very, very tightly. I don't usually wear belts myself, only because I seem to find it useless in saving my life in a car accident.|||some cars even have the lock effect in place before initial impact. my car (mercedes) has a tightening mechanism that takes place when i go around road curves at a fast pace. it's a nice feature lemme tell ya!|||it has an auto locking mechanism which will hold you in your seat and keep you from flying through the windshield

Why can a narrow belt in space be conductive to life?
It is really a question of conditions. Where that belt might be in relation to the star depends on the star itself. It is often called "The Goldilocks Zone" i.e. not too hot and not too cold. Different authorities give slightly varying distances for our Goldilocks Zone. The one thing we know is that the Earth is in it. This is the region where water will not evaporate away, or freeze entirely, but will remain largely liquid. Water is essential to life as we know it, because it is the best solvent for carbon, another essential ingredient. We can conceive of other chemistry's forming life, but nature has a habit of taking the easy way out, so we feel other bases for life to be unlikely.|||Because there, stellar light has such a density that a planet located within that belt will have a stable temperature (the warmer the planet gets, the more it emits, and therefore, a balance is formed at a certain temperature) between 0C and 100C.
Since liquid water has many unique properties, and is very capable of transporting chemicals without damaging them, and is so common, and can coexist with complex molecules, presumably carbon-based ("organic"), we assume that life can only exist if there is liquid water.|||might be baldylocks zones,were life could evolved anywhere it can

How's life in the western corn belt?

How common is it for a timing belt tensioner to go bad?
I have a 97 Toyota Tercel with 127,000 miles and have never got a timing belt.I was considering getting a new one soon and heard that the tensioner can fail when pressure is released,How common of an occurrence is this and is it safe to reuse it through the life of another belt if it is in good condition?
One more thing,I have a non-interference engine so I could just go till it snaps right?|||You could reuse your tensioner, if its in good shape, but if your going to keep your car for a long period of time it would make sense to replace it along with the timing belt.
You could just drive your car until the belt snaps, but what if it snaps in the middle of the night on a country road, or in the fast lane on the freeway? It would cost you a wrecker bill and probably more to get your car repaired in this circumstance, or possibly get you killed.
All cars need to be maintained, do it now and you wont have to worry about it.|||Your belt is way overdue! Replace it immediately. I don't ever recommend anyone go longer than 60,000m on a timing belt. While he's in there, the mechanic will note the condition of the tensioner; if it needs replacing, leave him instructions to do it.
How sure are you that your engine is non-interference? I always thought mine was too and it turned out I was wrong. I have a chain and it is generally extremely reliabe, but still - I replaced mine at 150k. I had the mechanic in there to replace the chain guides and had him do the chain too - why tempt fate?
As to running until it snaps, that's a fool's economy. Then you'll have to go the added expense and hassle of a tow, not to mention the great danger of suddenly finding yourself in traffic with no power. Take it to the shop for the replacement now, while it's still running under its own power. The mechanic can replace the belt without losing time; if you run it to failure he'll have to retime the engine too. That isn't a big job, but those guys charge as much as $75 per hour, how many extra minutes do you want to cough up for?|||just given the mileage, and what is involved to get to it, i think that i would would replace it now because you have access to it. but i have not heard of them failing like that.

Will getting punished with a belt or cane make me a good lady later in life im13 mum use a belt or cane punish?
i get punished wth a belt or cane by my mum depending on what i done wrong she says it ll make me a better lady later in life and if i dont take my punishment she will put me in care i am 13 years old|||You poor girl, I have a family quite dominant in females and we have all grown to be independent, strong and good women. But we have never used the belt or any other forms of violent punishment to discipline us, no matter what we've done. You can become a strong, good lady later in life without a belt or cane, there are many examples of women out there who have grown to be great ladies and were not punished in this matter, they are very easy to find. Studies have shown that children who are hit by their parents are more prone to anti-social behaviour such as hitting other people, defying parents, and ignoring rules, and they are also more likely to be aggressive, which is quite ironic. So actually, the belt and cane is doing the opposite, it is proven that it won't help you become a "good lady" at all, but in the opposite direction. Also a child who is not hit is more likely to be smarter than a child who is hit, as studies have shown that kids who do not get hit are more exposed to reasoning and explanation by the parents when they are getting disciplined, instead of just hitting them . This develops their cognitive abilities and therefore IQ.
I have a friend who was hit with a spatula or wooden object by their mother when they did something wrong, and I tell you, they aren't in the best shape. They have a fair few mental and social issues, and at times they will randomly have aggressive attacks at people when something goes wrong, quite often at me even though its not my fault at all. They don't have the best social skills and are quite difficult to reason with in a logical and calm manner, as they tend to get aggressive and abusive. But I stay by their side anyway, as I am their friend and I empathise with their problems and try to help them with their behaviour.
I don't know if this would convince your mother, as she probably has strong beliefs in this form of parenting, but she needs to know that a girl can grow to be a good lady without a belt of cane, I wasn't brought up with a belt or cane and look at me, I'm intelligent, kind, independent, social and an overall happy lady, if I can say so myself, I'm not the most appropriate example but I'm sure there are loads and loads of highly respected and famous women who weren't hit by their mothers, just look them up, they are everywhere. The belt and the cane these days is outdated, in today's world it is understood and known that it is not an effective way of disclipining children. Good luck girl, stay strong, you might not be able to stop your mother's ways, but one day you will be free and I want you to know there is a way for your children and grandchildren to be good people WITHOUT a belt or cane, and to know that to solve your problems in life you can fix them justicely and effectively with good reasoning, logic and compassion, no violence needed at all. :)|||I don't know what country you are in but what your mum is doing to you is illegal in Europe and I would be surprised if this was not the case in the States as well.

Why is the van allen radiation belt so important to life?
Jasmine, I am not going to make a fool out of myself, ok? The reason is if Van Allen did not have his belt, his pants would fall! , you know how embarr............Jasmine, what!?!?!Why are you shaking your head?|||Some scientists,theorize that the Van Allen belts carry some additional protection against solar wind, which means that a weakening of the belts could harm electronics and organisms; and that they may influence the Earth's telluric current, which means that dissipating the belts could influence the behaviour of Earth's magnetic poles|||The Van Allen belt tends to capture particles from space that are potentially dangerous to life on earth.|||This is a guess: it probably traps all the cosmic radiation coming from outer space and hence prevent this from falling on us like fallout from an atom bomb and frizzling us to death.
The cosmic radiation probably ionises the atoms in the van allen belt and creates a shield of charged particles which in turn would retard or repel or deflect the path of other charged particles.
Perhaps it is important in deflecting radio waves moving up to it (the sky wave) so that it can be reflected back to ground and be picked up from beyond the horizon. This usefulness is lessened because we have our Telecommunication satellites all over the skies to do the job anyway.

Why is it that flotation devices or life belts for water safety do not seem to work?
I have a lot of trouble getting them to work. They seem to hold me in an upright postion when I am in the water. I therefore cannot actually float or propel myself forward in them. As well, when I am wearing an inflatable vest, my head tends to try to slip right through the centre of it.

Should black belt= a life commitment to your art?
Yesterday my brother and I went to TKD at the request of our instructor. (we usually go on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but driver's ed is preventing us from doing so for the next two weeks) The dojo is pretty empty on Wednesday mornings, so it was just the two of us and the instructor, almost like the private lessons we had with him before we became white belts (yes, we test for white belts. the white belt test doesn't cost anything though). We were going through the two yellow belt forms and the instructor stopped me on almost every step of the form. By the end of that portion of the lesson, my form was much better. I realized that I need to practice outside of the class a lot more often. My form had been getting progressively worse while in our usual 10-15 person class.
This fact made me wonder how someone can become a black belt and just leave/quit training because they've obtained a piece of cloth. Their technique would be horrid only after a year or so.
(interesting quote about commitment I found)
“There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.” -Unknown
I believe that this is the type of philosophy a black belt or anyone trying to become a black belt should have. So in order to be a black belt, should you make a life commitment to your art?|||Nope. I have a Black Belt in TKD but I no longer take it because TKD (in North American anyways) is an impractical and quite useless art to be honest for self defense or fitness.
D: I was in TKD for over 5 years so don't tell me what it's like haha your only a yellow belt calm down. you don't know what cardio intensive is because you have not trained in real martial arts like muay thai haha
I'm not trying to put you down for taking it, i'm just giving my reasons for why I quit and why I don't like the martial art|||Crap, I was too late to choose a best answer.
|||That's the greatest gift we possess.....FREE WILL!!! The right to choose our own paths, and therefore our own destinies, by the choices we make!!!
One thing is certain....IF you make it a life-long commitment.... "a journey, not a destination"..... you will EVENTUALLY learn that Martial Arts has very little to do with fighting! Learning to fight is only the beginning..... only a SMALL portion of the whole! The Martial Arts are NOT just forms and fighting.....it's a LIFESTYLE..... a way of LIFE!!!!!|||You make a good point. You know what, it differs between person to person. If you're enthusiastic about TKD, which sounds like you are, you should have no huge problems remembering or perfecting forms and techniques. Just, don't try too hard to remember things from earlier belt levels unless it's crucial to understanding some things in your current/future level. For example, don't forget how to do a tornado kick that you learned in blue belt because it's essential for later levels. If you give yourself some decent practice, those techniques and forms will stick into your mind like second nature. Just see what happens, man. If you seem too overcommited to it during busy times, then just drop it because I'm assuming you value your education and college more than TKD. Just take it easy. Goodluck.|||Interesting question which reminds me of a story I heard. "When I started BJJ there was an incident where a student kept fixating on how long it would take for a black belt. Carlos Valente (6th Degree under Rickson Gracie) got mad and took off his black belt and gave it to the student. Then he went in his office and grabbed a couple of black belts and asked anyone else if they wanted one? He then put on a white belt. He says "So tell me what has changed besides the color of our belts?" He then quotes Royce Gracie, "A belt just covers two inches of your ***, you have to cover the rest!". He wore that white belt for over a week without problems. The student finally had to beg Professor Valente to take his black belt back."
So although it would be honorable to do that, you should dedicate your life to your art if you have a great passion for it and wish to continue it, you shouldn't be obligated by your belt color.|||Lifetime dedication to a martial art is not for everybody; different people have different priorities, and new ones may come up. Increased workload at the office, a newborn child, or any other personal reason can be a 'valid' reason to leave the dojo/dojang.
The bigger problem here, IMHO, is that too many people, even after years of training, equate a black belt with mastery; while it actually means that the student in question is simply now ready to train for real. Of course this is what the general public sees - and expect and encourage - as well. So, whether any sort of dedication is required and enforced for black belt ranks is up to each individual instructor, but I think it would be hard to implement.|||Nope. I have a Black Belt in TKD but I no longer take it because TKD is an impractical and quite useless art to be honest for self defense or fitness.
I am taking other martial arts now.
I know its sad...

I believe that this is the type of philosophy a black belt or anyone trying to become a black belt should have. So in order to be a black belt, should you make a life commitment to your art?|||Nope. I have a Black Belt in TKD but I no longer take it because TKD (in North American anyways) is an impractical and quite useless art to be honest for self defense or fitness.
D: I was in TKD for over 5 years so don't tell me what it's like haha your only a yellow belt calm down. you don't know what cardio intensive is because you have not trained in real martial arts like muay thai haha
I'm not trying to put you down for taking it, i'm just giving my reasons for why I quit and why I don't like the martial art|||Crap, I was too late to choose a best answer.

|||That's the greatest gift we possess.....FREE WILL!!! The right to choose our own paths, and therefore our own destinies, by the choices we make!!!
One thing is certain....IF you make it a life-long commitment.... "a journey, not a destination"..... you will EVENTUALLY learn that Martial Arts has very little to do with fighting! Learning to fight is only the beginning..... only a SMALL portion of the whole! The Martial Arts are NOT just forms and fighting.....it's a LIFESTYLE..... a way of LIFE!!!!!|||You make a good point. You know what, it differs between person to person. If you're enthusiastic about TKD, which sounds like you are, you should have no huge problems remembering or perfecting forms and techniques. Just, don't try too hard to remember things from earlier belt levels unless it's crucial to understanding some things in your current/future level. For example, don't forget how to do a tornado kick that you learned in blue belt because it's essential for later levels. If you give yourself some decent practice, those techniques and forms will stick into your mind like second nature. Just see what happens, man. If you seem too overcommited to it during busy times, then just drop it because I'm assuming you value your education and college more than TKD. Just take it easy. Goodluck.|||Interesting question which reminds me of a story I heard. "When I started BJJ there was an incident where a student kept fixating on how long it would take for a black belt. Carlos Valente (6th Degree under Rickson Gracie) got mad and took off his black belt and gave it to the student. Then he went in his office and grabbed a couple of black belts and asked anyone else if they wanted one? He then put on a white belt. He says "So tell me what has changed besides the color of our belts?" He then quotes Royce Gracie, "A belt just covers two inches of your ***, you have to cover the rest!". He wore that white belt for over a week without problems. The student finally had to beg Professor Valente to take his black belt back."
So although it would be honorable to do that, you should dedicate your life to your art if you have a great passion for it and wish to continue it, you shouldn't be obligated by your belt color.|||Lifetime dedication to a martial art is not for everybody; different people have different priorities, and new ones may come up. Increased workload at the office, a newborn child, or any other personal reason can be a 'valid' reason to leave the dojo/dojang.
The bigger problem here, IMHO, is that too many people, even after years of training, equate a black belt with mastery; while it actually means that the student in question is simply now ready to train for real. Of course this is what the general public sees - and expect and encourage - as well. So, whether any sort of dedication is required and enforced for black belt ranks is up to each individual instructor, but I think it would be hard to implement.|||Nope. I have a Black Belt in TKD but I no longer take it because TKD is an impractical and quite useless art to be honest for self defense or fitness.
I am taking other martial arts now.

The big twins need the primary removed, and the swing arm, not something you can do on the side of the road. the repair kit pretty much destroys the sprockets, but it will get you home.
Check belt teeth frequently, as soon as you see any seperation, get it changed. biggest problem is too tight, too loose and out of line.|||depends on your riding habits. i know some guys that only got 15k out of theirs, i have put over 45k on mine and it still looks great. all the teeth are there, no cracks.
just check it real good.|||Change it !!!!!!! It's well past time.
Save the heartache of having it break while you're out have'n fun..
Oh and believe me ..it will be on a day when the temp is 104 and you are 15 miles from anywhere on a side road with 0 traffic and no cell towers.|||I have a 95 wide glide. I got 50k miles on my bike, and the belt is original. It looks ok. No cracks or frays, etc. You should have a service manual for your bike. They cost about 50 bucks, but well worth the dough. It will tell you everything you need to know about inspecting and servicing your bike.|||take your hand and and fell around the theeth of the belt and spot the belt for crack's but when it goes it's going to go.|||As long as your not dumping the clutch and pouring it on it should last quite some time.Carry a spare they are easy to change,also harley has a repair kit that will get you home if it snaps.However if it were me I would convert to a chain.I run a big inch engine and like to drag race,ever see a sport bike with a belt? no and its because they break.|||I got a '93 heritage and the belt has about 90,000 miles on it and still looks good. I think about changing it every one in a while as a preventative measure but I've seen new belts break. I look it over pretty close if I'm going out of town and hope. My manual doesn't show a preventive time to change it. so I'd say if you'd feel better about having a new on change it, or if it looks worn. I guess I'm trusting to luck because it is certainly a major chore to change it, so if it breaks on the road it's a wrecker bill plus the shop bill.

Would you wear in everyday life a chastity belt if your girlfriend asked you?
I thought about this kind or similar: http://www.pop-shopping.com/images/cb3000.jpg|||I introduced my wife to chastity a few years ago as an expression of how much I adore her. To me, it was the ultimate gift - she has complete control of my orgasms.
At first she wasn't interested but we have played with it for short periods off and on over the years. Now we have reached the point where it is semi-permanent. She says that she loves me in it - I'm better behaved, nicer, more loving and caring. The side benefit is that it excites her to be in control of my orgasms.
For me, it makes me horny, excited and frustrated and also more submissive to her. It makes me desire her happiness on a level that I can't describe adequately. I get extreme pleasure from her pleasure in the bedroom, even though I am restrained.
It's not for everyone, I realize. But for all the people that immediately say that it's sick and wrong, I think of the following line from Shakespeare:
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. - Hamlet
I don't like sushi. Is it sick and wrong that people eat raw fish? Should I berate them and call them twisted? Not my style but to each their own.|||One fine point that RubyRott brought up: Yes - In my case, I introduced it to my wife. If my g/f or wife DEMANDED I wear one, I would not be too thrilled. If you relationship is dysfunctional to the point that one partner is a bully then you are in troulbe. Chastity would just exacerbate matters.
|||nooo fu,cck!|||Never!|||what kind of rediculous gf would ask you to do that? every day?!

Is it possible that human life came from a planet that was destroyed where the asteroid belt is currently?
that the asteroid belt used to be a planet?|||Not possible in the respect of it being "human" life. Some microbial or primordial life on a hunk of rock from that planet...maybe, but even that is a stretch. More likely, if such a planet's destruction were involved in us, a chunk of that planet impacting triggered the events that started all life on Earth using materials that were already here but had not combined properly yet.|||Anything is possible!|||Man.

Human life originated on the planet Xylon, which was eventually destroyed when the Xaflopod Empire (ran by a race of Were-Beavers) nuked the subterranean Kingdom of Xod (a race of large quasi-intelligent worms) =)|||Well...it could be possible.
Though a couple facts make it unlikely.
1.There are not enough asteroids in the belt to make up a planet of even the size of Mars, let alone Earth. And a planet would need to be at least that big to have life on it.
2.The asteroids don't look like they all came from a single large object. They don't have that 'sharp, edged broken' look to them.
3.If a planet was there and was destroyed, we should see asteroids all over the place. The asteroids would not just spread out in a perfect disk.
4.To destroy a planet would take a huge amount of power/force. This would have effected the orbits of the other planets(we would see a 'wobble').
5.If the planet was destroyed, how would the life get here? The blast would have killed all the life.|||Whilst this was once the widely held view (that the asteroid belt is the remnants of a planet that used to exist between Mars and Jupiter, but was destroyed) it is now the view that the huge gravitational effect of Jupiter prevented the planetoids and planetesimals from aggregating into planetary form.
One of the arguments is indeed the low mass of the asteroid belt.
The mass of 1 Ceres, the largest asteroid in the belt, has been determined by analysis of the influence it exerts on small asteroids. Results obtained by different authors are slightly different. The average of the three most precise values as of 2008 is approximately 9.4脳10^20 kg.
With this mass Ceres comprises about a third of the estimated total 3.0 卤 0.2 脳10^21 kg mass of the asteroids in the solar system, together totalling about four percent of the mass of the Moon.
The argument then goes that the Moon is smaller than Mars, and if the asteroid belt, in total amounts to only 4% of the mass of the Moon, then there never was a planet between Mars and Jupiter.
As regards there ever having been life in the asteroid belt NASA launched the Dawn Mission on 27 September 2007, which will explore the asteroid 4 Vesta in 2011 before arriving at Ceres in 2015.
The mission profile calls for the Dawn Spacecraft to enter orbit around Ceres at an altitude of 5,900 km. After five months of study, the spacecraft will reduce the orbital distance to 1,300 km, then down to 700 km after another five months. We should know more then.|||Uh, no.
Human (animal) life is distinct to evolving on the conditions of this world with its distinct place in the solar system. No earth-like life could have evolved as far out as the Kuiper Belt (the "asteroid belt" to which you refer). The largest asteroid there is Pluto, once thought to be a planet. It is so far from the sun, so cold and barren, that the odds of life evolving there are absolutely inconceivable.
The Kuiper Belt is composed of a mixture of passerby comets caught in our sun's orbit and the leftover debris from planet formation some 4.5 billion years ago. |||No. The material in the asteroid belt wouldn't even make a decent-sized moon, never mind a whole planet. And all of the evidence indicates that humans evolved right here on Earth.|||Anything is not possible and some things are extremely improbable.
There is no particular reason to think that any planet developed in what is now the asteroid belt, or if it did that it lasted long enough after things quietened down in the early solar system for life to get started.
I do not understand why life has to have originated on Mars, some hypothetical planet further out in our system or somewhere else entirely. Life is on Earth, we do not know that it exists anywhere else, so why do we have to think that it might not be native to Earth? What is the point of that? Why do people think there might be some sense in it?
Earth is warm and wet. It is not particularly hot like Venus, nor is it below zero chilly like Mars. It has a range of temperatures in which the sort of complex organic reactions that life depends on can happen with reasonable reaction velocity. On Mars or further out, they would be too slow because of the cold, on Venus the products would be destroyed by the heat as they were formed, even the reagents would break up before they got a chance of reacting. The rule of thumb for organic chemistry is that reaction speed doubles with every 10 centigrade rise in temperature. But most organic chemicals start to break up over 150 centigrade and few complex ones survive above 300 C.
In addition, the Earth has a very large Moon. It was once my nutty idea that the tides in the oceans created by the Moon might have transported chemicals to various suitable spots around the ocean shores where they could be concentrated between tides by evaporation and deposited on minerals which originally catalysed suitable reactions. Now I find that maybe the idea is not so nutty after all.
Now as for the idea that life came here from some remote star system on asteroids or comets, I don't entirely dismiss it. But, the Universe is "only" 13.7 billion years old. The Earth has existed for 4.54 billion of those 13.7 billion years. The Universe was probably far too filled with early supernovae, coalescing black holes, quasars and all the rest of the big nasties out there for the first few billion years. Certainly the materials from which the Earth is made did not exist for the first few million.
So while it is possible that life could have got going elsewhere a few billion years before it did on Earth, it could not have been by very much more than a few billion years. So for this life to have got here it would have had to travel to the Earth pretty quickly from some now remote solar system. Even travelling quicly and directly it would take the best part of a million years. And you still have to explain the emergence of life on some planet in that hypothetical system.

Why do people think there might be some sense in it?
Earth is warm and wet. It is not particularly hot like Venus, nor is it below zero chilly like Mars. It has a range of temperatures in which the sort of complex organic reactions that life depends on can happen with reasonable reaction velocity. On Mars or further out, they would be too slow because of the cold, on Venus the products would be destroyed by the heat as they were formed, even the reagents would break up before they got a chance of reacting. The rule of thumb for organic chemistry is that reaction speed doubles with every 10 centigrade rise in temperature. But most organic chemicals start to break up over 150 centigrade and few complex ones survive above 300 C.
In addition, the Earth has a very large Moon. It was once my nutty idea that the tides in the oceans created by the Moon might have transported chemicals to various suitable spots around the ocean shores where they could be concentrated between tides by evaporation and deposited on minerals which originally catalysed suitable reactions. Now I find that maybe the idea is not so nutty after all.
Now as for the idea that life came here from some remote star system on asteroids or comets, I don't entirely dismiss it. But, the Universe is "only" 13.7 billion years old. The Earth has existed for 4.54 billion of those 13.7 billion years. The Universe was probably far too filled with early supernovae, coalescing black holes, quasars and all the rest of the big nasties out there for the first few billion years. Certainly the materials from which the Earth is made did not exist for the first few million.
So while it is possible that life could have got going elsewhere a few billion years before it did on Earth, it could not have been by very much more than a few billion years. So for this life to have got here it would have had to travel to the Earth pretty quickly from some now remote solar system. Even travelling quicly and directly it would take the best part of a million years. And you still have to explain the emergence of life on some planet in that hypothetical system.
What is the life expectancy of 1997 mazda b2300 timing belt?
Timing belt should be changed at about 60.000 km of usage. that is an average of 2.5-3 years of moderate usage of the car.
Be careful, if you dont know how long has it been installed, and u get the car recently, i advise u to change it for your peace of mind!
If Timing belt is cut while u r driving, it can damage the engine,,,SEVERELY|||Not sure on the mileage-usually 60,000 miles. Think some Honda models have a longer mileage interval. But, there is also a time frame in years-usually 5-6 years as rubber degrades over time. When a timing belt snaps, usually there is major engine damage as the engine pistons are still spinning up and down out of relationship to the valves. So, some of the valves will be coming down while the pistons will be going up. These two components will then collide. Very expensive engine damage. Some engines with timing belts are what you call non-interference fit engines. They have cutouts in the tops of the pistons so that if the timing belt snaps- the valves do not slam into the top of the pistons. I don't believe you have one- think you have a regular interference fit motor. You are over the limit on the years, (probably over 60,000 miles too). Get a Gates timing belt or get original factory timing belt from Mazda dealer-also throw on a new belt tensioner. Seems to me that Gates had a kit with a timing belt packaged with the proper tensioner at one time. Ask around all the auto parts stores or do web search and buy online. If you have mechanically inclined friends with tools or you yourself are mechanically inclined-get a Haynes manual for your car at any decent auto parts store and do it yourself -save yourself a good chunk of money.Do not put a cheap timing belt on it. Either factory Mazda or Gates-and don't forget tensioner. Also,check your belts and hoses-probably needs them. Other things neglected- last antifreeze flush and coolant change, pcv valve, air filter, fuel filter, brake flush, distributor cap %26amp; rotor, spark plugs, transmission fluid and filter change.|||a mazda b2300 is the same thing as the 2.3l ford ranger and its about 70,000miles at the latest

Why is it a law to where a seat belt, when you own the car, and it is your life?
I know it the smart thing to do and you should want to, but
This is a free country
Should we have the choice if we want to or not?|||The main reason is that it gives the police one more reason to pull you over and check you out for no good reason. I've heard the excuse, "OH, I though you weren't wearing your seat belt." quite a few times. Another reason is that EMTs don't need to clean up such a big mess if you stay strapped into your seat.|||The law makes it easier to get the idiot in the passenger seat to wear one so that if something goes wrong you don't have a couple of hundred pounds of passenger bouncing all over you. Of course the idiots that don't also don't have insurance so we pay their hospital bills.
|||It's the law as it protects you, and others. I had friend who made her choice not to wear her seatbelt, and she also made a choice not to restrain her baby. Instead, she sat unrestrained in the frontseat, held her baby on her lap, and killed it when they went through the windscreen in an accident. Our friend was driving, and looked down for a second to find her cigarettes, and smashed into the back of a car that was stopped at the lights. I saw my friend and her baby being ejected through the windscreen, just like a crash test, but real life with screaming, shattering bones, blood, etc,etc! It wasn't pretty. Then I had to help my friend who was near death, lying on the bonnet with blood pouring out everywhere, and then, sadly there was her daughter, who was killed instantly. I close my eyes, and I see her broken body, mangled, broken and her severed head further down the road. It's stories like these, and countless others, that explain why it's the law to wear a seatbelt, and restrain kids. It's to stop you from thinking if only I'd worn my seatbelt, or restrained my child, like my friend, who has never fully recovered, and never will. She can't see a child on it's mothers lap, or riding unrestrained without breaking down. It's so you won't have to go through this.........or the windscreen!|||There is more than just one side to this question. First I would agree, that it is just because it gives the officers more of an opportunity to pull someone over. Secondly I had a friend get decapitated from wearing her seat belt. And finally it really doesn't matter if you are wearing a seat belt when a freaking eighteen wheeler cuts you off the road or smashes into you going 70 miles an hour. Sure it is designed for safety but at those speeds any type of collision will create injuries.|||The answer is because driving on the public roadways is not a right, but a privilege. Because it is a privilege, the state has the right to limit its use, such as traffic laws which restrict speed, lane usage, seat belt use, radar detectors, etc.
You have a right to not use seat belts, speed, do donuts and roll your car if you want when you are on your private property or property where you have permission - as in racetracks. Racetrack owners have the right to set the rules on their property, such as requiring helmets and seat belts in race cars.|||Because the rest of us don't have a choice when it comes to picking up the pieces you left behind. In addition you just might not be killed, but seriously injured or maimed for life. Then we all get to support you for the rest of your life.
The law is made just for idiots like you. The greatest good for the greatest number.
Freedom does not mean you get to do anything you want. Freedom is a concept that a lot of people misunderstand as the right to be irresponsible. It is not.
If it were a free world as you see it, then we could all wear six shooters and kill anyone we want because we did not like the look on their faces.|||The state has he right to regulate when it's in the public interest, and the wearing of seat belts clearly is. Just look at the statistics of injury without seat belts, and the cost to the state.|||Who pays for your medical treatment after you end up going through the windscreen, or with major chest injuries after you have hit the steering wheel. or if you are in the back, have flown forward and crushed the driver or passenger?
We all do.|||America is not as free as we think it is. There are a lot of stupid laws here. Especially here in VA (radar detectors against the law!). But we still have to follow them. Darn government!!!|||YES WE SHOULD
AND THE OTHER IS MONEY|||ill put what tall paul said in simple terms...
the state saves money when your not hurt|||This law came as a result of the many complaints the government has received from the relatives of people that died during car injury. Every family probably has 1 member that died in a car accident. Governments are made up by these same people, and if all these people feel that it should be the law to wear a seat belt, then so it happens. When you lose a relative in a car accident just because he/she didnt wear a seat belt, then you start pressuring the government to make it illegal not to wear a seat belt.|||Because when people get into accidents and don't use seat belts, they get more injured than if they did use them.
Now, where this is any one Else's business is because as a society we use our collective resource's (Tax dollars) to insure that our citizens have help in an emergency. We pay for fire departments, police, and hospitals. Even if you can't pay for your hospital they can't deny you life saving treatment.
The more injured you are the more it costs all of us (in tax dollars) to keep you alive. No one likes higher taxes....
I hope this clears up for you what your responsibility is to the rest of the country as far as your personal seat belt use..|||Its a law because the politicians can stand in front of the podium on the nightly news and brag about how many lies they are going to save with this legislation.

Thousands of tests have proven that inside the car, buckled in is without a doubt the safest place to be.
Paramedics and fire fighters agree: It's much easier to rescue you and try to save your life when all required body parts are located in one general area versus your spleen being in the right ditch and your lungs being in the passing lane with a semi bearing down on them!

The meaning of life? Is it just a reproduction conveyor belt?
Biologically, reproduction is the meaning of life, but that isn't an intellectually satisfying answer. Is it to be happy, help others, build great buildings, write great books? What?|||I could never top this excellent answer that I received for a similar question (from YahooGuru4u), so I quote it here verbatim. Of course, I ruled out the answer "42."
"Darn you. You sucked me in with your question, then I get here and I see 42 is already taken. Now we really have to go on a trip and I'm without a towel. Well ok, let me see what I can come up with, shooting from the hip as it were.
My best guess is that the meaning of life, the universe and everything is "MORE". The quest for more seems to be at the center of all living creatures. All organizations be they organic or manmade seem to be trying to get "more". The universe itself is expanding, so I am told. As for "everything" anything that should happen to get created instantly becomes part of everything, so even everything seems to crave more. Yes I think I'll stick with the answer "MORE". What? Wait, just a minute, my wife is yelling something from the kitchen......
(long pause).....Hello I'm back again. My wife says the answer is "LESS" She says life is always moving toward death which by it's very nature is less life. The universe is made up of a limited quantity of everything and it is being used up also, so you have less now than in the past, and as for "everything" Well since everything gets used, you must have less of everything now than there was in the beginning.
So my wife and I will agree to disagree and say that the answer is: More or Less, or possibly More and Less. I guess that's pretty much the same as 42 because 4 is more and 2 is less. I'm getting a pain just behind my left eye from all of this thinking.
What!? Just a minute, my wife is yelling again!........ I'm back. She said I'd better get off this Yahoo Answers thing and come to the table if I want any dinner. I told her that I'll never have to come back to Yahoo Answers again because I just pretty much summed up life, the universe and everything. I'd better hurry if I want more to eat and less yelling.

I only ask because it has bust at 58,000 miles, and would like to know if this is under warranty from Ford.
It has a full service history.|||it is true the focus belt will last 100,000 mile if you look up autodata it will tell you there but i would say to change it at 80,000 to be on the safe side
i work at a parts place and have been told by many mechanics.
one of the garages we supply to is a ford garage and the lad there knows a lot about fords|||every 40,000 miles my bro has got a focus|||It only has a 'shelf life' before it is fitted, when it is in the garage on the shelf. If you mean working life of it, I would change it about 10,000 miles before recommended. Check in the hand book.|||No way mate way to long try70 000km more like it. that will be about 40 000 miles|||Not true. Timing belts on most cars last only up to 60,000 miles. Some cars and trucks like Nissans, Hondas and Isuzu Rodeos last up to 90,000 miles.|||they don't have a shelf life really and my hubby says its about 75 or so|||Timing belts are more like 40K miles!!!! you have been told a load of rubbish.

To anyone who is black belt level:Was getting your black belt the proudest moment in your martial arts life?
I hear lot of black belts say that is the proudest moment getting the 1st dan .|||It was at that point in my life. Since then I have had several others including:
Graduating from College
Finishing my military career with distinction
Getting my Godan (Master) rank in Okinawa
Being promoted to Hachidan (8th Degree)
Being awarded the title of Shihan
Getting Married
and many more...|||There is a lot of hype of earning a black belt. And in today's world of the McDojo's, it means even less than it once did.
Yes, it is a goal all aspiring martial artist have when the start out. And when you get there, you do have such a feeling of accomplishment. However, you also come to realize (if you are wise), that it really is only the beginning. A black belt doesn't mean you become an all knowing, wise "master" and it does NOT mean you become "ten feet tall and bullet proof".
All it really means is you've graduated from Kindergarten. And now the real learning begins.
Be well.|||Yes, because it meant I was no longer a child, and could have the respect of others and learn the more complicated methods and theories.

The most recent proudest moment would go to being told I have a script to sell to Hollywood.|||I would have to agree with that to a point. After a short time though you realize just how much you don't know and it puts everything in perspective.
I would compare it to a climber, you work hard and finally make it to the top only to realize you weren't even on the Mountain, but only on a foot hill with the real peak yet to climb.
A first degree Black belt means that you have learned the basics enough to start learning your true Art.|||At the time it was since for me there were a lot of struggles and a lot more obstacles involved than for the average person in making it to black belt.

It still feels like i have a lot to learn and it really is like that. Being Black Belt means that you are ready for that Martial Art you have been practiced. It doesn't mean that you have finished everything. Knowing that, I still do not feel completely proud. But maybe a time comes and I feel like I am really good at it.

How can I prolong the life of my leather belt?
If you know that you're not going to use it for a week or so, get yourself some leather softener (or neatsfoot oil) at the local hardware store, or maybe even a store like Target or WalMart (tell them what you want it for), and then apply a thin application on the inside and outside of the belt. This will keep if from drying out and cracking. It will keep it plyable. Good luck.
Touch-n-go accessorizing: Jupiter's brown belt - signs of life?
Could the activities of Jupiter's "now you see it, now you don't - and now you do again!" brown belt be due to some form of seasonal biological activity? It seems a tad peculiar that Jupiter's the only gas giant in our system with this phenomenon. Could life of some sort be what makes the difference? I could easily picture the changing cloud activity as akin to tuna swimming upstream every season to spawn, though probably with Jupiter it would be microbial rather than anything easily visible to the nekkid eye.
Just querious. :-)|||Jupiter's yellow clouds are the highest. They consist of ammonia. The next layer down are the brown clouds, which are ammonium hydrosulfide. The white clouds below those are actually water, like those on Earth. Below the white clouds are oceans of hydrogen in various forms and phases. The predominance of some of these colors vs. others is an indication of weather changes in the atmosphere, but has little potential to indicate the presence or absence of life, despite the organic chemicals that are present.|||It's extremely doubtful that anything could live in Jupiter's extreme environment. The changes in the colours of its belts are easily explained by meteorological and chemical activity. Jupiter shows more of this than the other gas giants because it's closer to the Sun and significantly warmer than the other giants: warmer temperatures lead to more chemical reactions.

Why aeroplanes have life belts and not parachutes?
how many people have been saved by life belts?|||Parachutes are not for untrained people and jumping from an airliner is just not a thing that people can do--the first thing you would do is hit the tail section--a fatal mistake. And you cannot breathe at jet speed or at high elevations--so you are dead anyway !! There are life belts because firmly belted into a seat is the very best safeguard when a plane hits turbulance or it does have a surviveable wreck. Just like in a car--you keep going the speed at impact--your body can fly around at 100 or so mph---you can kill people by colliding with others in the plane. Not to mention hitting the interior sections at 100 or so mph. People in cars without using seatbelts are often ejected at highway speed or partially ejected--only to be cut in half by a rollover or being dragged half out of the car--an ugly sight for the family survivors who have to bury you.|||You cannot jump out of a commercial airline. A life jacket may be handy if you crash in water.|||I don't have any experience with this or anything, but you would think that it would be pretty pointless to give a parachute to someone who doesn't know how to use it. You open the parachute wrong and you might as well not have it.|||There is not enough oxygen at the heights traveled by commercial airlines. It is not practical to store the number of chutes needed for all passengers and crew. There is also the time needed for everyone to chute up. It just isn't practical.|||I agree with everyone else above , plus the fact that if you parachute over the ocean, the shute will probably drag you down under anyways, with or without a life belt/jacket on|||Everyone surviving the crash of an aircraft, in recent memory, have had their lives saved by seat belts.
Having made a few crushers of my own on landing a Cessna, I would have wound up in the baggage bay behind me if I hadn't been strapped in. Having been standing in the cockpit entry to take notes on the maintenance flight of a Hawker I'd repaired, I nearly went through the windscreen when the ex-navy pilot drove the old bird into the ground like he was trying to catch a wire on a carrier.
I recall a time when as soon as the light was off, everyone took their seatbelts off. Now, they ask you to keep them fastened at any time when you're in your seat.
An airliner, that you know is going to crash, is going to crash somewhere. You might not know where, but somewhere.
So, is it safer to have a bunch of uninitiated people, families with children, senior citizens, panic and try to put on parachutes in the confines of an airliner, (think of trying to dress in your locker,) and let the airplane fly uncontrolled into a neighborhood, business center, skyscraper,... Or is it safer to have everyone buckle up and have the pilots try to fly the airliner to a safe landing in spite of the problems?
For one thing, airliners aren't safe to deploy from in flight. I don't care what any fictional writer or screenplay writer has written. It can be done on some aircraft, but it's not something you want the uninitiated public trying.
The center of gravity shift, (if you could get everyone into parachutes,) of everyone trying to go out the only door that won't put them into the engines, wings, or horizontal stabilizer, (resulting in a particularly gruesome death,) is likely to render the airplane uncontrollable, causing a stall and higher death toll when it falls out of the air because 90 people are jammed in one doorway, without their seatbelts, when the aircraft smacks into the ground.
So, unless you're willing for the airlines to charge the general public for skydiving lessons, aircraft familliarity lessons, have people dying when they drop onto a lake, a freeway, or forests, while an aircraft that might safely be landed plows into a neighborhood, 80% of the people on board because they were all jammed at the one exit they could get out of safely, fasten your seatbelt when the sign is illuminated.

Older aircraft are designed to a 9g limit, some fighter aircraft are capable of turning faster than that. Newer ones are designed to meet 16gs.
The seat belts are there to save you during turbulance and high energy braking.
You are assuming that an aircraft is escapable during a crash, it is not. It could be pitching and rolling on all axis, or diving for the ground, which would pin you to your seat anyway.
As the other people said, without the proper training, the chute would be useless. Additionally, skydivers leave airplanes that are moving around 130 MPH. Commercial aircraft move at closer to 500+ MPH. That speed would shred a 'chute if deployed. Also, you can't open an aircraft door assuming the fuselage is still pressurized. One more thing, an aircraft flies at 36,000 ft. cruising altitude. Bailing out at that altitude would deprive you of oxygen and you'd freeze to death in your mini-skirt (remember the hottie kicked off by SWA?).

seats usable as floating devices when flying over water. The larger aircraft will not use parachutes as it is almost impossible for people to jump out in an emergency.

wont find much use for a parachute if you can't get out of the plane.|||Oh man, goooooooooooood question.

Why has a life belt came up on my laptop and how can i fix it?
I'm sorry for the trouble you're having with your computer. My best guess it that you have a severe PEBKAC problem. These are especially nasty, as they seem to follow the user to each computer he/she uses. I hate to be the one to tell you this, but there is no answer to your problem to be had on the internet. You should probably just go ahead and get rid of your computer, and try to avoid using others as much as you possibly can, just to contain the PEBKAC. Good luck with that.

Why did God create the asteroid belt, if it only threatens life on Earth?
The belt doesn't threaten Earth, Asteroids do. But God can easily decide when he wants one to hit Earth.|||Jupiter鈥檚 gravity also protects us. Long-period comets enter the solar system from its outer reaches. Jupiter鈥檚 gravity slings most of these fast-moving ice balls out of the solar system before they can get close to Earth. So long-period comets are thought to strike Earth only about every 30 million years. Without Jupiter nearby, long-period comets would collide with our planet up to 1000 times more frequently.
While the Sun gravitationally pulls the asteroids inward, the gravitational pull of Jupiter is pulling the asteroids outward. Since the belt is closer to Jupiter than it is to the Sun, Jupiter exerts more of an influence on the asteroids. As a result, the asteroids are held in orbit away from the inner planets.|||to punish naughty ppl

This was the ONLY thing I could find, a comment someone wrote...
It could be a man controlling her life--her father, Wadsworth, Higginson?--but it makes more sense to identify the "He" and "Whom" with god. The belt is some kind of sign of office, the one who puts the belt on the speaker is a "Duke" with "imperial" stature. Once belted, the speaker becomes a member of the elite and ethereal "Cloud." (If you wanted to you could read this a some kind of kinky bondage thing--The Story of E--but that would be inappropriate and less than tactful.)
With the second eight lines in place, I see the poem as a wry and witty, even slightly rueful, comment on ED's famous reclusivity. There might not have been a train she wouldn't take as it lapped up its miles, but in fact she did take very few, and she did care where they were going!
And of course, like most of ED's other poems, you can sing it to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas" or "Amazing Grace," or any other song in psalm meter.

Alternatively, I guess maybe background on Dickinson's usual themes might help?
Emily Dickinson is such a unique poet that it is very difficult to place her in any single tradition—she seems to come from everywhere and nowhere at once. Her poetic form, with her customary four-line stanzas, ABCB rhyme schemes, and alternations in iambic meter between tetrameter and trimeter, is derived from Psalms and Protestant hymns, but Dickinson so thoroughly appropriates the forms—interposing her own long, rhythmic dashes designed to interrupt the meter and indicate short pauses—that the resemblance seems quite faint. Her subjects are often parts of the topography of her own psyche; she explores her own feelings with painstaking and often painful honesty but never loses sight of their universal poetic application; one of her greatest techniques is to write about the particulars of her own emotions in a kind of universal homiletic or adage-like tone (“After great pain, a formal feeling comes”) that seems to describe the reader’s mind as well as it does the poet’s. Dickinson is not a “philosophical poet”; unlike Wordsworth or Yeats, she makes no effort to organize her thoughts and feelings into a coherent, unified worldview. Rather, her poems simply record thoughts and feelings experienced naturally over the course of a lifetime devoted to reflection and creativity: the powerful mind represented in these records is by turns astonishing, compelling, moving, and thought-provoking, and emerges much more vividly than if Dickinson had orchestrated her work according to a preconceived philosophical system.
Of course, Dickinson’s greatest achievement as a poet of inwardness is her brilliant, diamond-hard language. Dickinson often writes aphoristically, meaning that she compresses a great deal of meaning into a very small number of words. This can make her poems hard to understand on a first reading, but when their meaning does unveil itself, it often explodes in the mind all at once, and lines that seemed baffling can become intensely and unforgettably clear. Other poems—many of her most famous, in fact—are much less difficult to understand, and they exhibit her extraordinary powers of observation and description. Dickinson’s imagination can lead her into very peculiar territory—some of her most famous poems are bizarre death-fantasies and astonishing metaphorical conceits—but she is equally deft in her navigation of the domestic, writing beautiful nature-lyrics alongside her wild flights of imagination and often combining the two with great facility.
To be perfectly honest, I think your best bet is to borrow a book from the library with criticism...
All the best, hope that helps somehow!

It could be a man controlling her life--her father, Wadsworth, Higginson?--but it makes more sense to identify the "He" and "Whom" with god. The belt is some kind of sign of office, the one who puts the belt on the speaker is a "Duke" with "imperial" stature. Once belted, the speaker becomes a member of the elite and ethereal "Cloud." (If you wanted to you could read this a some kind of kinky bondage thing--The Story of E--but that would be inappropriate and less than tactful.)
With the second eight lines in place, I see the poem as a wry and witty, even slightly rueful, comment on ED's famous reclusivity. There might not have been a train she wouldn't take as it lapped up its miles, but in fact she did take very few, and she did care where they were going!
And of course, like most of ED's other poems, you can sing it to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas" or "Amazing Grace," or any other song in psalm meter.

Alternatively, I guess maybe background on Dickinson's usual themes might help?
Emily Dickinson is such a unique poet that it is very difficult to place her in any single tradition—she seems to come from everywhere and nowhere at once. Her poetic form, with her customary four-line stanzas, ABCB rhyme schemes, and alternations in iambic meter between tetrameter and trimeter, is derived from Psalms and Protestant hymns, but Dickinson so thoroughly appropriates the forms—interposing her own long, rhythmic dashes designed to interrupt the meter and indicate short pauses—that the resemblance seems quite faint. Her subjects are often parts of the topography of her own psyche; she explores her own feelings with painstaking and often painful honesty but never loses sight of their universal poetic application; one of her greatest techniques is to write about the particulars of her own emotions in a kind of universal homiletic or adage-like tone (“After great pain, a formal feeling comes”) that seems to describe the reader’s mind as well as it does the poet’s. Dickinson is not a “philosophical poet”; unlike Wordsworth or Yeats, she makes no effort to organize her thoughts and feelings into a coherent, unified worldview. Rather, her poems simply record thoughts and feelings experienced naturally over the course of a lifetime devoted to reflection and creativity: the powerful mind represented in these records is by turns astonishing, compelling, moving, and thought-provoking, and emerges much more vividly than if Dickinson had orchestrated her work according to a preconceived philosophical system.
Of course, Dickinson’s greatest achievement as a poet of inwardness is her brilliant, diamond-hard language. Dickinson often writes aphoristically, meaning that she compresses a great deal of meaning into a very small number of words. This can make her poems hard to understand on a first reading, but when their meaning does unveil itself, it often explodes in the mind all at once, and lines that seemed baffling can become intensely and unforgettably clear. Other poems—many of her most famous, in fact—are much less difficult to understand, and they exhibit her extraordinary powers of observation and description. Dickinson’s imagination can lead her into very peculiar territory—some of her most famous poems are bizarre death-fantasies and astonishing metaphorical conceits—but she is equally deft in her navigation of the domestic, writing beautiful nature-lyrics alongside her wild flights of imagination and often combining the two with great facility.
To be perfectly honest, I think your best bet is to borrow a book from the library with criticism...
All the best, hope that helps somehow!
For those of you with 25 years of life under their belt minimum?
which decade do you prefer 1980's, 1990's, 2000's, 2010's why?|||Sorry! 1950-60's You could save up, for something you saw for sale, and go buy it next year - when you had the money saved up, for the same price|||1990s. I'm 25 I dont' really remember the 80s too, but from what I remember it was all wood paneling and yellow and brown decor leftover from the 70s. People like to just remember the good stuff, like the new wave music and Pat Benatar. In the end of the 2000s, we started really realizing that we needed to become more green and realized that our money situation was not what we thought it was. Too early to tell for 2010. In the 1990's people although it's COMPLETELY ignorant, we kind of all felt like things were progressing and they weren't going to go back. The economy was growing, inventions were consistently coming out. Aaaaah the delusions of the 1990s. It was fun to think everything was "okay".|||None of them is of course the correct answer.
Since the swinging 1960's the world has descended into a horde of binge drinking, ipod transfixed, pornographically gluttonized, LCD eye-glazed morons.
How could anyone of merit answer you any other way ?|||50's, cars, girls and rock and roll. and drive-in movies.

Between 80's and 2010 you watched this country sink to new lows. What a shame.|||I think I qualify, as I have over 40 years under mine. Definitely, without question or hesitation, the best decade was the 80s! For a couple reasons. First, it was the last decade that genuine rock music was tailored for fans which made any sense. Second, it was the last decade that anything decent happened or made any sense, either.|||Dontheturner makes a VERY good point. Now, if I tried to save for something, I'd be saving forever and never get it since the price would keep increasing.
That said, I'm stuck between the 1990's and the 2000's. The 1990's were so much simpler and so much more fun but I experienced things like college, on-campus, my first job and getting my license in the 2000's.

Can NOT wearing a seat belt safe your life in an accident?
I have heard that .|||I myself have been in 2 accidents that were NOT my fault and strongly feel that if I had been wearing my seat belt I would be dead. The cops at the scene of the second accident said that if I had been strapped in they would have had to use the Jaws Of Life to get me out. The extra time that it would have taken would have killed me because they barely kept me alive through the life flight. I refuse to wear my seatbelt while some guy rides past me on his motorcycle with no helmet. Pennsylvania can go Fnck themselves. I don't care.

2-in-1 q. What's the difference in damage if one lets a timing belt live its life out until breakage?
Car: Subaru Forester
What is better, to change the timing belt around 100,000? or how high? or to let it break on its own.
What, if any, collateral damage incurs by simply leaving it be until it breaks on its own?
2. If the water pump isn't exchanged at this time, will it strip the belt once it also breaks down?|||you need really change the timing belt at around 60.000 miles if you let it break then it will cause all sorts of big problems like bent valves broken pistons and so on as for the water pump no it will not strip the belt|||In all seriousness, that's like asking why we shouldn't wait until the vehicle runs completely out of gas instead of when the indicator shows close to empty - or why we should replace the tires when the wear bar indicators are exposed instead of driving them for all their worth.
The answer is simple - no one wants to break down on the freeway during rush hour or walk home during a snow storm.

What is the appropriate life of a serpentine belt on a Chevrolet Suburban?
A belt can last 100,000 km +. It depends on the climate, if debris comes between it and the pullies, etc. If the tensioner is worn, loose or misadjusted the belt can slip on the accessories causing it to wear out prematurely. Proper tension and periodic checks are very imprtant. If if breaks, you will lose your water pump (engine damage) power steering (ever tried to turn the steering wheel on a 'burban with the engine off??? LOL) alternator (what runs your electrical systems) Air conditoner, etc.
If the belt is too loose, your accessories will not be driven properly and the belt will wear out very quickly. If it's too tight the belt will also wear out prematurely and you will overexcert the bearings in the accessories (not good). I hope this answers your question.

What's the shelf life of an automotive drive belt?
I bought a timing belt recently from a store and I didn't install it. It's date of manufacture was in 2000. Is it still safe to use? I know rubber degrades over time.|||I wouldn't put it in my vehicle. Return it and buy from a store that has fresh stock.|||As long as your car doesn't have an "interference" engine, it would probably be worth using.
Generally speaking belts should be replaced roughly every seven years, but a belt failure can cause catastrophic damage to an interference engine.
Do not use that belt if you have an interference engine.|||Good question.
It should still be good though. I never heard of someone buying a brand new belt on the shelf and that it snapped soon.

Look for signs of tearing or cracking. Also, try to turn the alternator fan and pulley with the engine off. If the pulley slips on the belt, it is too loose or is glazed and must be replaced.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the replacement interval for the belt. This varies from 20,000 to 60,000 miles. Some manufacturers have longer intervals.

Once you get a first degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do how long does it last? Are you a black belt for life?
Tae Kwon Do Black Belt|||Once you earn a black belt you are black belt for life. you could even stop practicing completely and they can not take away the title black belt. with that said, black belt just means that you have mastered the basics and that you can start thinking on your own to reach the level of mastery. (start thinking does not equal going rogue) a lot of people feel they accomplished something when they reach black belt and give up the art, when they only have just mastered the basics.|||Tough question. You get a certificate, and that certificate will last for life. So technically, you're a black belt for life. But if you stopped for a few years and then wanted to resume, how do you think you'd do? In my school - and many others - you'd have to come back as a probationary student.
There are many practical reasons; suppose your technique suffered:
For students who are attaining their black belt, they'd feel like what's the point of training hard if this is what's required?
For students who've already attained it, they'd feel you were cheapening the value of their honor.
Then there are the reasons you've suffered in technique:
You might have gotten your belt, then when you got to middle school, you quit because lacrosse practice got in the way. Now you've graduated college, and you want to resume training.
You might have suffered a terrible car accident and spent a few years in rehab. You're out, and now you want to resume.
You quit to join the army; you did your 8 years (even saw battle); you came back home and want to resume.
Each person has a reason why they stopped, each has a reason to rejoin. Is it fair to call a few a black belt and not others? Is it fair to call them all black belts? Is it fair to make them all re-rest for their belts?
In the interest of fairness to other students who've worked hard - and continued to - in my book, you are only a black belt for as long as you can continue passing a black belt test - one commensurate with your age, rank, and capabilities.
So I say, the certificate shows what you did in the past, not what you are now. It lasts as long as you can maintain it. You are not a black belt for life, unless you demonstrate your commitment to the art. And that is precisely why the tests for upper dans focus less on technical capability and more on contribution to the art.
And when you do earn the belt, and if you do leave and come back, you really shouldn't call it a "dojo". If you want people to believe you are a black belt, start by calling it a "dojang".|||It lasts as long as you believe there is any value in it whatsoever.
My 2nd degree black belt lost all internal meaning to me the day I started training in my current style. Before then I claimed my TKD rank as something relatively significant in my experience. Now it's just a memory and something to tell stories about.|||Basically if you have earned the rank of black belt you should keep it for life the only time I have heard of anyone losing their rank is if they have done something bad enough to be banished from the dojo.

How we can get life on the asteroid belt?
How we can get the atmosphere,gravity and another important things that are required for the propagation of life on Asteoid belt|||Atmosphere: Build an enclosed structure and pressurize it with a mix of gases equivalent to Earth's atmosphere.
Gravity: If you impart a spin upon the asteroid, you can simulate gravity. This is harder with a larger asteroid.
Water: Currently, it would have to be brought from earth, but the asteroid settlement would need to use the best water reclamation techniques so their water would go further.
Food: Most would probably have to be brought, although it could be grown using hydroponics and waste reclamation.|||By building an enclosure around the asteroid and artificially mimic the conditions required for life, as on Earth.|||that's a mission impossible|||Why would you even want to?
