Someone mentioned that they had taken pictures of themselves, and altered it through an anime lens to make it into an anime picture. How do I do this -- I sounds pretty cool!

I just bought a 70 pound heavy bag (I'm 6'1" 300 lbs). I've had some martial arts training, but have never boxed. I've always gone bare hand on the various hand held pads (up to a full body pad) but I think a heavy bag is a totally different animal. I also bought a pair of Century brand "leather wrap gloves" which the guy at Academy told me should be sufficient to protect my hands. However, most folks at retail establishments are poorly trained and don't know much about their products. Is it necessary for me to wrap my hands?

I'm being serious here -- it's like they're exercising!

I don't have a problem with the concept, just never understood the mechanics required to execute.

Where would all the kids in bad schools go, when most schools are at close to maximum capacity already?

Where would kids go in small rural school districts?

What would happen to the physical plant of schools that kids leave from?

What happens to the students no one wants? (disabled, disciplinary problems, slower students)

Long hypo: What if 1/2 the kids from a failing school leave, but then all the slots are filled in all the surrounding schools. The failing school no longer has sufficient funds to remain in operation, but the surrounding schools don't have the capacity to absorb the remaining students?

How would the decision making process take place on which students would be accepted to the "best schools" - ie all the kids in the area would apply to the best school, but not enough capacity. Who gets to go there?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

How do I find this out?

What gauge wire should I use, do I need to run 440, or can I run 220? I am concerned about voltage drop. Suggestions?

Did a quick Google search, found some weather websites, but nothing with YTD rainfall for 2006. Any suggestions?

I don't know if I'm just hitting the max power on the loader or if there is a problem - but I would think hydrolics backed by 90 horse should be able to lift the world!

Its a tractor, but I assume the same principles apply to a tractor as a truck. There is "sludge" in the fuel line blocking it.

Also, how can I prevent this in the future?

I accidentally overwrote a document that I was using as a template - I deleted all the contents and saved rather than save as.

I'm pretty computer savvy, so if it requires some jumping through hoops I can handle it.

I'm looking for low cost entry point, and fast weight gain (so I will have faster turnover, thus higher profits). I'm not planning on breeding, just buying calves at auction, putting them on a pasture and letting 'em grow.

I'm in Texas, so I'm a little concerned about Black Angus not being as heat tolerant as other breeds. I was thinking either (grey) Brahma, Red Brangus or Red Angus, since these are more heat tolerant (or so I've heard). Plus, Brahma are pretty!

It doesn't seem to make sense -- how can it be hotter in an enclosed area blocking sunlight that it is outside?

I recently stocked my pond with these species (all under 3") - how quickly will each grow, and when will they begin to spawn? Surprisingly, it is hard to find this information on the net.

I also stocked the pond with a few thousand fathead minnows and golden shiners for forage.

I have not yet added the big mouth bass -- I am waiting for the smaller species to become more established. Any suggestions on when I should be able to stock the bass?

It's actually a fuel filter for a John Deere 4020 tractor - but it's basically the same thing - same size, comes off the same way. Crushed it at the very top (where it screws into the tractor).
