.... it is that it is probably the most exciting ski event ever. Large bumps called moguls, and steep pitches add to the hazards. The course ranges from about 1 and a half to 3 miles long. The fastest recorded speed for a man on skis is 129.827 miles per hour. The fastest recorded speed for a woman is 124.759 miles per hour. Both records were achieved at Lees Acres, France, in April 1984. Slalom In slalom competitors race downhill through a series of gates represented by pairs of poles. The flags on the gates are either red or blue. There are three types of events: Slalom, Giant Slalom, and Super-G. Slalom has many gates and tight turns. Gi .....

.... per day, most of which are designed to enhance their social image or advance their social interests. Given these facts it seems important to tell whether another person is lying. Fortunately the findings of a large body of research on nonverbal communication can prove very useful in this respect. (DePaulo, Epstein, & Wyer, 1993) showed that is virtually impossible to find anyone who can control or manage the many different channels of nonverbal communication. For this reason even persons who lie frequently and are highly practiced at this task, often reveal the fact that they are lying through some channel of nonverbal cues. Some of the deception de .....

.... consisted of two of children skis strapped together, with some doweling on the top for foot attraction. His daughter took it to the local sledding hill, and soon enough all the kids wanted one. He and his wife in the next ten years sold one hundred thousand of these contraptions for 15 dollars a piece. with new improvements such as a string at the tip for balance and a more stable base, it was dubbed the "Snurfer", a mix with snow and surfer, because of its no-binding surf style of riding. Another pioneer was Dimitrije Milovich, a surfer from the east coast. He made his invention because of the lack of warm water in the winter. This board also had .....

.... I needed a pet the size of a fat barn cat, like the ones back home in northeast Iowa. On my walk to the river before I left for college, I found many rocks within my size range. I couldn't decide which one I should pick, but then on the side of the muddy bank, partly submerged in the water, lay a shinny, sandy, orange stone. It called out for me to pick it to take home instead of the others, like a puppy does from a pet store window. When I held the rock in my hands, I knew it was the one I wanted, and the rock that I needed. Now as for a name. That was easy. How does one name his cat or dog, bird or fish? Every pet has a name, so they're not .....

.... arrived at this mode of thought(s). as an integral part and push towards each other’s (and own’s) development. To back this statement, one must first view Science and Religion in terms of aim. Science defined by an acclaimed Webster’s Dictionary reads “Accumulated and established knowledge, which has been systematized and formulated with reference to the discovery of general truths or the operation of general laws; knowledge classified and made available in work, life, or the search for truth; comprehensive, profound, or philosophical knowledge�. Underneath the complexity lies the fact that this means one major thing; Science is the be .....

.... and also my personal favorite. It has chat rooms for people of all ages, current news, and the depth of it's directories are unmatched (Essex pg 74). Like the other portals it is paid for by mostly advertisement. You can track stock quotes and mutual funds in real-time. The next portal to look at is Excite, which like Yahoo has a very good and easy to use directory. The one thing which caught my eye about Excite was when you typed in a search, it would just shootout a list of links, but would also show tables and images as well. You can also track stocks with a Charles Schwab module. Just like the other 2 portals you can make your own hom .....

.... body is the heart, liver, lungs, and so forth; the external body is the muscles, bones, and skin tissue. A ‘fit' internal body is defined by blood pressure, resting metabolic rate, and well working organs according to an ideal model based on height and weight. A ‘fit' external body can be defined as a mesomorph body type which includes hard and tight skin tissue, well-developed muscles, and strong bones. All of these features lead to a more shapely body and an upright posture. Keeping in mind the definitions of ‘fit' and ‘feminine' I will now explore Lenskyj's ‘commercialized fit' and my distinction between ‘being fit' and ‘look .....

.... the aim of applying a necessary critical perspective. Firstly, what is virtual architecture and how does it fit into the definition of architecture? Dace Campbell, Graduate student of the Human Interface Technology Lab at Washington University Seattle, offers his explanation. It is the ordering and definition of meaningful space as developed in response to a need or program. An expression of society in spatial experiential form. Thus virtual architecture, Campbell adds, is that which embodies and expresses values of society or culture in electronic form, with polygons vectors and texture maps as opposed to bricks and mortar (www.uni-weimar.de). T .....

.... The ancient world believed light was an extremely light and small particle that moved at incredible speeds. More recently, physicists have conducted experiments that proved that light has wave-like properties. In the early 19th century, Thomas Young, a British scientist, conducted a famous experiment in which he proved that light would interfere and diffract. A broad discussion about the nature of light emerged in the scientific world. The theories that light reflected of a surface just like a ball would, was revised because the explanation that it was a reflecting wave was a more convincing one. The fact that light would bend with a large amoun .....

.... cigarette use should not be tolerated. “The number one killer of smokers is heart disease” (Bailey 135). Not only that but also, “Cigarette smoking accounts for 30% of all heart disease deaths” (Kim and Saltzberg 1). Carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke causes the amount of cholesterol clogging the arteries to rise dramatically. Smoking also makes the walls of the arteries harden which increases the chance for the artery to rupture. Another drug in cigarettes, nicotine, causes your blood pressure to rise, your heart rate to rise, and your heart increasingly requires more oxygen to keep pumping. Along with heart diseas .....
