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!

Because pure breds have so many problems I’m wondering what your favourite cross breed is and/or mutt?
Just FYI pure bred dogs do tend to have more health problems because they are increasingly in bred to keep the purity in the line.
I can’t pick a favorite cross, because every dog is different.
I’ve owned the following mixed breed dogs:
Passed on
German Shepherd/Lab (M)- Buddy
Blue Heeler/Collie (F)- Diamond
Border Collie/Blue Heller/Black Lab (F)-Juliette
German Shepherd/Terrier (F)-Mazley
Currently with me
Great Pyrenees/Collie/other (M)-Patches
Patches/Husky/German Shepherd/other (F) Sasha (Patches’ daughter)
I also currently own 2 purebred dogs
Dalmatian (M)- Nitro
"Mini" Australian Shepherd (F)- Rain
The best behaved dog was Buddy, maybe because we were his forth home and we got him when he was approximately 6 years old, he died of cancer when he was around 13 years old.
Not all purebreds have problems.
I also HATE when people have to give their mutts "designer" breed names! Sometimes it’s harder to figure out what breeds a dog is when they use a "fancy" name instead of just saying what mix the dog is.

i am a runner that is determined to beat other runners in track and cross country. ive tried doing squats with weights in my hands but what else can i try? ( btw im 12 yrs old )
Lifting weights does absolutely nothing for you. Work on your legs. Go for a good 2 mile run AT LEAST 3 times a week. Practice makes you better TRUST me I know. Just get out and run. Take long strides and deep breaths. Focus on your body!

One question on my biology homework is "what term means a back cross to a homozygous recessive"? I haven’t found the answer in my textbook. Anyone know what it is?
It’s called a "test cross"

I need to gain weight, but right now I am in cross country and running on varsity. If I tried to gain weight now, would I become slower?
Are talking about gaining 20 lbs by the end of the season? If not, try to gain the weight but considering all the running you must be doing…
Good luck with your running!

I know you need leg and calf muscles. I’m mainly wondering about upper body muscles that I can work to be more efficient in cross country.
Running is an all-around sport. Since you’re wondering about upper-body, I’ll honest and tell you that everything in the upper-body will play a sufficient role in running.
Make sure you have a strong core (abs and back). A strong core keeps your body up and balanced and helps you keep your form during fatigue.
Exercises: Crunches with your knees bent and with your legs up at 90 degrees, side crunches, and back "flops" for your lower back.
You arms and shoulders give you that extra pump when your legs are tired. They will help you power through that stride or that last mile or up those hills when you need it most.
Exercises: Push-ups, pull-ups, bicep curls, over-hand claps, and anything with weights.
Your chest keeps your body up and clear to get enough airflow to your lungs.
Exercises: Push-ups (regular or elevated).
If you want to strengthen your body for endurance purposes, make sure you do more reps and less rest and it would also help if you did your workouts after you run. You’ll be more tired, but in the end, you’ll be feeling stronger after you get used to it.
Hope this helps, good luck and God bless!

Why don’t airliners just cross over at any time of the day? What is so special about flying out from the US during the evening, and arriving into to Europe during the early morning? It sounds like a traffic control nightmare. My understanding is that 200 flights make the trip, carrying over 80,000 people, in a period of 2 hours or so.
Av8trxx is quite right. The other issue is also wind. ATC only open the NATS (North Atlantic Track System) at limited hours. That doesn’t stop private business jet flying, and believe me they do!
One of the primary objectives in any flight in any airspace is to avoid the areas of strongest headwind while seeking the areas of strongest tailwind. Over the North Atlantic the predominant westerly winds are found at mid-latitudes, 50 to 55 degrees North. As a consequence of this the westbound flow will normally North or South of this and the eastbound will attempt to fly through it.
Naturally this doesn’t happen on a daily basis but in general this is the hypnosis which lead to the creation of an organised track system. The Eastbound system is open between 1130 – 1800UTC and eastbound 0100 – 0800UTC.
The aircraft are seperated laterally and by speed.
