What cross country training can i do in the summer for next track season?

admin — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 21:40:51 +0000

Im going to finish my track season from spokane community college. Im going to lift and do cross country running in the summer to work my endurance. My coaches dont want me doing any sprints. Just distance running.What certain workout can i do that involves the whole cross country deal and so i can work my endurance for next upcoming season in the fall. I am a 400m runner.

Well, cross-country is all about long runs. If you have a background of distance running then you should be able to do at least 30+ and max out at 50/55 miles per week. This is only if you ran long distance before. Otherwise you should start at 10 MPW and max out at 30/40 MPW. All your runs should be at normal pace, with one run being at tempo pace. Also make sure you take rest days at least once a week, as over working yourself can lead to injuries. Good luck, and stay injury-free.

How do you record Halo 3 videos, showing the cross hairs of your gun?

admin — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 17:46:05 +0000

I have an Xbox 360 and play Halo 3. I record clips from my played games all the time. When I watch the recorded clips, the cross hairs of my gun never show and are non existent. I see people post videos on youtube of their Halo 3 gameplay and their cross hairs are showing. How do they record their Halo 3 gameplay, showing the cross hairs?

They have a Capture Card.

What happens to Blue Cross employees if they get really sick and reach the lifetime cap on their policy that?

admin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 17:06:59 +0000

Blue Cross might provide them at a discount?

And if they are sick and can’t work, can they still keep their policy or try to pay for COBRA with no job like everyone else?

They’ll get the heartless capitalist "F.U. buddy".

How do I train for cross country in my current situation?

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:11:16 +0000

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.

Can I legally cross the Border to the United States from Canada?

admin — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 16:36:14 +0000

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.

How do you do a cross product in spherical coordinates?

admin — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 23:18:12 +0000

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).

How does cross conditionality work with IMF and World Bank?

admin — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 20:31:09 +0000

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.

What would be the best city to cross into Mexico from the eastern US?

admin — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 17:26:10 +0000

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
