I think this article provides good motivation and a good mental perspective (the big picture) about exercise. http://www.naturalstrength.com/weightroom/detail.asp?ArticleID=101

I have: "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" "Monty Python's Life of Brian" "Star Trek: First Contact" "American Pie" "The Fugitive" "The Nutty Professor" "The Mask of Zorro" "Braveheart" "Clueless" "American Beauty" "Sleepy Hollow" "The Silence of the Lambs" "The Piano" "Say Anything"...

I was 14 when my uncle let me have some of his Margarita, his favorite drink, when we were at a restaurant. I never made a habit out of it.

I think it's a status symbol for a lot of people. The bigger your vehicle, the greater your "status."

Yes, I have this affliction also. The worst part is not being able to open your eyes. After about thirty seconds of effort I am finally able to open my eyes and maybe raise my head and look around and see that I am not in danger. There is a hormone that is responsible for sleep paralysis. It...

It cracked me up too! http://www.revelate-rock.com/I_am_better.doc

The deal with cellphones is akin to putting aluminum foil or other metals in the microwave; in both cases, the high-frequency electromagnetic waves cause static electricity to accumulate on the surface of the metals, and then you have arcs and sparks.

For problems like this, which involve an either-or situation which is repeatedly tested, use the binomial distribution. P(k out of N) = N! ---------- x (p^k)(q^(N-k)) k!(N-k)! where: N = the number of opportunities for event x to occur; k = the number of times that event x occurs or...

The total number of combinations of nine objects, taken three at a time, is 9 x 8 x 7 ----------- 1 x 2 x 3 That is, 84. Since 8 of the combinations are "tic-tac-toe" lines, the probability is 8/84, or about 9.5%

single, as usual

You have to take the logarithm of the observed concentrations before you try to determine the slope. Plotting the logs will give you a reasonably straight line, while plotting the concentrations will give you an exponential curve.

You just have to use the formula for exponential decay throughout this problem. C = C(0) * exp(-Rt); where C is the momentary concentration and C(0) is the "initial" concentration. R is the rate of decay, which we can figure out from the half-life. 0.5 = 1 * exp(-R * 38m) ln(0.5) = -R * 38m * R...

Some cameras include software to record digital video. Do you have the drivers for the camera installed?

Those math subjects, as well as b fold's math problems, are first year University material here in the U.S. also.
