Hi,
How do I train for myself and my horse for cross country? See I moved to a different city and the place I was at before had a cross country coarse and jumps and everything. Well the new place I am at there is no jumps or cross country coarse only trails. So what can I do to be ready to do cross country races when show season starts?
Does those things really help to train for cross country?
If you’re handy, cross country jumps are not too difficult to build. But if you’re serious about eventing, you’ll just need to trailer your horse over to places that allow cross country schooling. Even when you board at a farm with some cross country jumps, you still should trailer to other places as they may have more jumps on the course, different types of fences, tougher terrain, etc. Your eventing trainer should be able to set you up with some schooling opportunities. If you don’t have a trailer, maybe you could pay somebody at your barn to take you??? Good luck, finding cross country schooling opportunities can be difficult.

I am planning to drive from Toronto to Detroit over the summer with a couple of my friends. I will 17, but when I was 15 I was charged with underage drinking. This is the only thing I have gotten in trouble with the law for. So will I be able to cross the border? Thanks
And, yes I have a valid passport.
So the underage drinking won;t hinder my chances of crossing the border?
I’m a Canadian citizen visiting the State for a week.
As long as you have a passport, yes.

I am doing E&M and need to do a cross product in spherical. I am pretty sure I can’t just use a straight determinant like in rectangular coordinates, but I can’t remember what changes in a spherical determinant. I can’t find the definition of it in my books or online. Appreciate the help.
It is a bit different, though the same basic concept. Let’s say you have two coordinates, (A, B, C) and (X, Y, Z). Your cross product will be
(BZ – CY, XC – ZA, AY – BX).
Give me a second to type how to remember it:
First, position the coordinates above each other visually, with the first one on top (yes, order does matter):
(A, B, C)
(X, Y, Z)
For the first term, cover up the first values:
( , B, C)
( , Y, Z)
and then multiply the B times Z, subtracting from that C times Y (BZ – CY).
For the second term, cover the middle values:
(A, , C)
(X, , Z)
And multiply and subtract again, but this time switch directions. Start with the first value in the second coordinate (XC – ZA)
For the third term, cover the last values:
(A, B, )
(X, Y, )
and then multiply and subtract, starting with the value in the first coordinate again (AY – BX).

So, I’m still a little unclear on what cross conditionality is essentially supposed to be. Is it just IMF’s stipulations before a country can borrow from the World Bank? Is there a good example of cross conditionality?
Thanks!
Cross conditionality is another way of asking the participating country to meet a condition fr both organization. It has happened that an IMF stipulation is at odds with a condition set out by the World Bank. Lets take management of inflation. Or the money supply. The IMF might ask that inflation be reduced to 10% and the World Bank may want to open the flood gates to credit. These 2 conditions may be at odds with each other. So then the solution is to work more collaboratively and try to synergize the conditions.

I am planning a trip to Mexico with a couple friends. We are driving from CT and we will cross through Texas. Is Laredo the best place to cross? That is what Yahoo maps gave as the nearest crossing point. But any advice or information about costs or just general pointers about crossing would be very helpful. Gracias!
ok yea Laredo would be the best place for you to cross.
some pointers? insure your car in mexico, get a permit at the aduana, for you and your car. dont dress flashy, stay in groups, have your passports ready and in a safe and secure place, stay out of the big cities, when reading road maps look for city names and go in the direction the roads point for example when you leave laredo you want to head to Monterrey, when you get close to Monterrey to stay out of the city you should follow the road that says Saltillo.
Just a warning if cross in the day you will have a LONG wait at the border, and at the aduna.
gas in mexico is by the litre, not gallons, SPEED IS BY KM.
if the cops stop you dont argue just say quere habla con el jefe meaning you want to talk to the chief. then play dumb that you dont speak spanish. Stay calm
to get a temp permit it will cost about 250 but you will get 200 back if you go back to the aduana to return the permit. insurance for the US and Mexico is a must.
Take some money for permits or permisso for you to be in mexico.
crossing to mexico and returning be sure to disclose every thing at the border, abide by the laws and do not try to import any thing that is against the law

I think my rescue dog is a cross of these two breeds. Anyone have any idea what this cross may look like?

Ladies it looks nice and feminine but what makes all girls to grow up and cross their legs when they sit? It seems women hate it when they cant cross their legs in a situation. Is it important to cross your legs when you sit? Do you do it every time you sit?
I’m a dude, and I do it. It’s comfortable, what can I say?

I am a junior and this is my first year doing cross country. I absolutely loved it but I regret not doing it sooner. My first race time (3 miles) was 24:50 but by the last race I ran 22:10. I have really high expectations for next year and I wanted to know how I can be even better. Also any other tips cross country related would be great.
Thanks.
miles in the summer. theres no other way.
if you expect yourself to run a sub 20, 19, 18, 17, 16 minute 5k (3.1 miles) you have to run im the summer, consistently.
i did about 300 miles this summer and went from a 17:30 to a 16:19 5K.
anything is possible you just have to push yourself

I’m not talking about a 16′ Boston Whaler that could conceivably make it across the Atlantic but a boat that could cross safely and keep it’s passengers comfortable.
What you need is a "very heavy displacement" sailboat with a full keel. Now… having said that, let me add that this is true regardless of the size vessel. For an ocean going, ocean passage sailboat – heavy displacement can be compared to the difference in the ride and comfort between driving a Volkswagon – compared to riding in Lincoln.
Friends of mine (boating friends) think I don’t get sea sick…
but… I do – or at least, I would too – if I were on their boat… but though their boat is the same length as mine… mine is built for the sea… my sailboat displaces 38,000 lbs where as their vessel displaces 18,000 lbs… and the difference is, while they are hanging on for dear life… I’m having a cappichinno and watching to see how many times I see their rudder rise clear out of the water…
So… a "heavy displacement" true ocean passage vessel is rule #1
Next… you mention "passengers" but you don’t say how many… Hmmm that leaves that door wide open…
My 60 footer (and you can see pictures of it – inside and out) will (and has) handled the Atlantic all the way to Greece with 3 couples… it was cozy, but quite comfortable and accomodating… another couple on board for that long a cruise would have been one couple too many…
My son has a 30 footer and he and my daughter in law just love it… They just got back from an 11 month cruise that took them from Galveston to Casa Blanca, and then back across to Venezula and up through the Caribbean back to Galveston… and they complain about not enough room or space for that long a voyage… (and that is just 2 people)…
So… maybe that will give you an idea…
Now… I have taken the liberty to discuss only sailboats… I did not mention power boats for three reasons…
1. the cost of fuel
2. the amount of fuel required
3. you asked about the "smallest & safest"
Their are typically two routes across the Atlantic… the Northern route, or the Southern route…
On the Southern route, you will have 1,800 nm between fuel stops – as you can get fuel in Bermuda and in the Canary Islands.
On the Northern route, the shortest navigable distance between New York City and Southampton and that is 3,169 nautical miles between fuel stops.
Whether sail or power, if you can make 100 nm a day – it will be a good day… and of course, that is forward motion for 24 hours a day… (no rest for the weary… )
So, you need to consider this when you consider the size of your vessel… you will need a minimum of 32 days of food, water, etc. plus some provisions for emergency (my son and I always pack cans of Ensure in our emergency float box – which take up a small amount of space and you can survive on just two cans a day even without water.
So, needless to say… if your talking "small" you are not talking power… fuel weighs 7 lbs a gallon… and you will need at least 1200 gallons of fuel plus (depending on how many people – several hundred gallons of water… And since there are 8 gallons in one cubic foot, you need almost 200 cubic feet just to store fuel and water… That’s not small…
I am sorry… I apoligize in advance… but Steve T is one of those people that should just never get out of bed in the mornings… I feel so bad for these people because they miss out on so much in life…
You can see pics (inside and outside) of my sailboat "Enchantment" and my kids 30 footer "Twiga" and possibly find some good additional information for your boat selection… at:

Happy & Safe Boating!
