  • English gardens??? Please help.?

    My fiance and I are using an English garden theme for our wedding and I'm having a little trouble. From the research I've done, there are several different types of English gardens and each has unique characteristics, but the websites I've found only list famous English gardens while not really explaining the quintiscential elements that make up an English style garden. From what I understand there are landscape gardens, formal gardens (which were supposedly modeled after the French and Italian formal gardens), country gardens, and cottage gardens. I could really use some definitive information on this to help us design our theme. If anyone could tell me the difference between the different types of gardens and what flowers/plants make them up I would really appreciate it. We chose this theme because my fiance is English and Scottish and is wearing a kilt for the wedding. We thought an English garden theme would be appropriate also because the reception is in a banquet hall in a park.

    English gardens??? Please help.?
    When I think of English Garden I picture the cottage garden. But there are many kinds as you say, just like many kinds of American gardens. I think you can pick the kind that appeals to you. You might do better at the library where you could get several picture books on the topic and find what appeals to you most.
    Reply:Most people think of a English cottage garden with a mix of flowers arranged in hodge-podge way.


    Conflicting Life/Desire: Need your valuable and informative advice?

    I'm working on pursuing what I want to do with my life. I desire to travel and see the world but not be away so long that I'm disconnected from my family. But it is something I desire. I'm into culture, traveling, discovering, gardening, tea and wine, holistic health %26amp; beauty, design, hands on work, and mroe. I'nm an adventurer and feel a constant void in my soul until I do what I love to do. Thing is, I have two young kids and want to be able to balance my life with their needs. I'm young, bright, passionate, and this is how I want to spend my life but be a mother no matter what. Can you help me with advice, and occupations that can help me acheive this? Also, how easy would it be to get up and leave and move to Greece and open up my own small coffee/wine shop or something? You see, I don't want much as far as material. My happiness is in my family, fufillement of my desires, and my surroundings....any valuable and positive advice?

    Conflicting Life/Desire: Need your valuable and informative advice?
    Couldn't say how easy it would be to pick up and move (although I've done it twice in my life). Do you at least speak the language? Are you married/living with the father of the kids? How does he feel about saying goodbye to all he's known? And if you're not committed to the father, how do you feel about willfully taking his kids and moving halfway around the world with them? Is that really fair to them just so that you can live out YOUR dream?
    Reply:the only thing that would work is to hire a nanny or home tutor. and if you want to go to greece, do it. this new culture will enrichen your kids like no u.s. school can, to be honest. even if you dont get the nanny, just GO.
    Reply:When their is will their is a way.

    Take your kids with you, they can learn greek you could still be mom and open a coffee shop.
    Reply:If you have the ability to do it, you should follow your heart. Children adapt easily to change. If this is your dream and you have the opportunity to pursue it, then don't hold back and give it your all.

    I need some help with my math homework =/?

    At th emagic garden, a rose garden is being designed as shown. the outer figure is a square with side length of 116 feet.



    l------------------ l

    l o o l

    l o o l a brief picture of what it looks like

    l------------------ l



    a. what is the diameter of one circle? explane jhow you find the diameter



    b. suppose the designer of the fountain decides that the surface area of the water in the fountain should be 450 square feet. find the diameter of this fountain. explain how you find the diameter.









    could you please help me out on this.

    I need some help with my math homework =/?
    a. Well, assuming that each of the I's are equal in length...

    116/4=29

    The diameter is 29 ft because the I's split the side of the square into 4 equal parts.



    b. I need more info on this one. Is it 1 fountain or 4 fountains?
    Reply:well i dont understand quit well the question but if you meen a square totaly filled by 4 circles like

    .___

    |OO|

    |OO|



    Than the diameter would be half of the lenght of 1 side of the square, so 62 feet. because you can see the botom of 1 circle joined with the top of the circle over it has the same lenght as the square, so you divide the lenght of the square by 2.



    b. and if the fountain is the round thing, than the surface of a circle is a=Pir^2

    so 450=3.14r^2

    therefore r=radius=3.786feet

    and d = 2*r so d = 7.571 feet

    Since all of your examples are basically the same, go with that style. It is beautiful. Dwarf mondo grass should work between the stones.

    Men are more intelligent and skillful than women in art performance and contribution?
    men are brainier than women. just like in school, especially in surprise quizzes. boys usually have a higher percentage of passing than girls. but almost every men do women can do also. but there is something than the woman can only do and not men.
    Reply:You should be asking does fame equate success.
    Reply:YAY! your a dumbass, check your facts sparky and you will see there are more women who paint masterpieces, make top ten albums, and style hair better than any man
    Reply:No, they are not. 1. Used to, women were just housewives, and stayed home. Later they started to work, and were given positions "for women", then things started to change and now-days, they are starting to jump into all kind of jobs which were considered just for men.

    However, it all depends in how you define intelligent and skillful, as you know, there are lots of skills, jobs, shores, etc. in which they are better. Only time will show that women have a role to play and that, intelligent or not, we all, depend on them to be born. I know that is not the point, I just thought I should mention it. The answer to your question is in the open, and all we have to do, is look around us.

    Reply:I'd say that was pretty sexist. Women are smarter! And what have you been watching where there are more men in cooking? The Food Network has more women chefs. Women are just as creative and successful. They are limited because guys are too sexist towards them!
    Reply:there is no basis whatsoever that men are more intelligent and skilful than women in arts area. Instead I think women are more talented in that 'cause they're more sensitive to the surroundings and more emotional. You see more famous males in the area's probably because they assume more leadership roles. That does not equate to being more intelligent or skilful over the other gender, I guess.

    Is this a Male Hobo Spider ? Tegenaria agrestis ?

    At first , I thought It was a male european garden spider, but a couple things don't match up with that. One, it's leg segments are all one color, not mixed colors like a European Garden Spider. Two, The design on it's amdomen does not have any white dots that is characterisitic of the European Garden Spider. Three, I' cant see its eyes too well, but they look like like 2 rows of 4, a hobo's eyes. I wish i had a microsope to see a better image.



    It seems aggressive too. I was laying on the floor playing with my dog and out of the corner of my eye I saw a spider running on the carpet heading right for me. I quickly ran and got a jar and captured it. It almost got away. The hobo spider is around in the PNW.

    Help with polynomial equations?

    I've been trying to solve these. I've drawn a picture, and that doesn't help either. I just don't know how to solve word problems like these. Thank you.



    Landscaping. A rectangular lawn measures 60 ft by 80 ft. Part of the lawn is torn up to install a sidewalk of uniform width around it. The area of the new garden is one-half the area of the old garden. How wide is the walkway?



    Tent design. The triangular entrance to a tent is 2 ft taller than it is wide. The area of the entrance is 12 ft^2. Find the height and the base.



    Sailing. A triangular sail is 9 m taller than it is wide. The area is 56 m^2. Find the height and the base of the sail.

    Help with polynomial equations?
    You can write 3 equations for the first problem: let x = width of sidewalk. If you sketch your new garden inside the old, you see that in the long direction, the length , 80, is x + y + x

    In the short direction, you have x + x + z = 60.



    You also know that y * z, the dimesions of the new garden = 2400



    So, simplify: If 2x + y = 80 and 2x + z = 60, we find that y - z = -20

    We substitute y = 2400/z into the y - z = -20 equation

    Simplifying, we get y = 60 ft and then substituting into y * z = 2400 we find that z = 40 ft



    Next, go back to either of the two equations that describe the length: 2x + y = 80. Since we know that y = 60, we solve for x and find that x = 10 ft



    The tent problem:



    Height = base + 2

    A = 1/2 (h * b)

    12ft^2 =(1/2) (b + 2)b

    24 = b^2 + 2b

    b = 4

    h = 6



    Sail problem is the same as the tent:

    h = b + 9



    56 = (1/2)(b+9)b

    b = 7

    h = 16
    Reply:the first one is 17 1/2 ft. wide. gimme a sec. I'm working on the second and third ones.


    Did GOD create man to eat only vegan ?

    It was only after GOD cast mankind out of the Garden of Eden that man began to eat meat.



    This tells me that the human body was in fact perfectly designed TO DO WITHOUT MEAT.



    What sayest thou ?

    Did GOD create man to eat only vegan ?
    There was no eating of flesh by man or beast before the fall, and all lived in harmony, or "Paradise". The first shedding of blood was when our Creator had to show that the price of sin was the shedding of blood, and that is what covered Adam and Eve after the fall, not the leaves they futilely sought refuge behind to cover their loss of innocence. When He comes again, the lion will lay down with the lamb, an indication to me that we will be restored to our prefall diet. Vegetarian vs vegan could be a little more difficult, but hens lay unfertilized eggs which would not ever be another chicken. Cows, goats, camels and other mammals whose milk humans commonly use, once having been bred, will continue to give milk, if "milked" long after their young are weaned. Having referred to the land of His children as the "land of milk and honey," I can only assume that milk and eggs in and of themselves were not nor will be forbidden. The vision was given to the Apostle Peter to declare all meats clean, which tells me in our fallen state, meat and fish are acceptable. Never the less, the more we discover about these wonderously created bodies, the more we realize how much healthier we would be with less, or even no meat in our diets.We shall see what He serves at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. It is written that the redeemed shall eat of the Tree of Life.
    Reply:See... this brings on the touchy subject OF religion.

    Many people will argue that the Bible says that man is made for meat, others say that man is made for a strict vegan diet.



    When Adam and Eve were in the Garden Of Eden, I doubt God said, "these are all the fruits and veggies, but... you know, kill some cow, and... have some steak!"

    It would be a sound assumption to conclude man and women were created to consume food off their land.



    You make a point, after Adam and Eve were cast out... they ate meat for survival. Animals should ONLY consume other animals strictly for survival. Those animals hunt and kill their own prey. Humans are made for a vegan diet. If we were made to eat meat, than we would hunt and kill our own food. Not have FACTORIES do it for us.



    I'll be typing for hours... so I'll just stop there.
    Reply:Yes, we were designed to eat a vegan diet, but God also gives our bodies the ability to eat meat, fish, dairy and eggs as a means of survival. God also created our bodies to be temples in His image, and we must treat them as such. We must also treat His creation, the earth and animals, with as much respect as we can. I believe we should strive to eat a vegan diet as much as possible and only put the things God has told us are clean to eat into our bodies.
    Reply:Shhotsamshoot, that was very well said.
    Reply:I dont think we were designed to eat meat. Think about it, if we were, we would posses the skills and tools to hunt down prey, and eat it in its raw form. Our two tiny incisor teeth are clearly not meant to rip flesh off the bone. Most of our teeth are flat, like other vegetarian creatures. Our bodies are perfectly designed for gardening, with an imposable thumb just perfect for picking fruits and vegetables. Either way, being a veggie works for me. Nothing needs to bleed and die just so I can stuff my face. That, sayeth, I, lol
    Reply:Man was designed to eat veggies in the beginning, but later, then meat was allowed, and commanded at festivals. So even though man WAS designed that way, there must have been a reason to include a meat diet.
    Reply:Sorry to say this religion is a concept of Rules with a little bit of the fear of death thrown in oh and control and lets be fair good Rules to live life by and nothing more!!



    I can not dispute there actually may be a God or they may not I will let you know when I am dead. But this is an argument I am not prepared to kill over like some others choose to do in this world because what is after death is unknown. Evolutions is a fact with perhaps a little Divine/greater intelligence involvement and this is where the world is to day. I am a God fearing person for want of a better word just the same as I fear Death.. but one thing i know is that to use religion as the base of an argument makes that argument invalid and pointless as NO ONE ON EARTH knowns the answer to death..





    I say the human body is perfectly designed to survive and can eat anything to keep living just as any starving creature would to survive
    Reply:I believe so. One of the dead sea scrolls has jesus teaching water fasting(with enemas) raw food lacto-vegetarianism to sickly outcasts as way of self-healing and acheiving closeness with God.
    Reply:good point. death didn't even exist until after adam %26amp; eve took that first bite. i truly believe God would not want us to eat other living creatures (and no, fruits and vegetables don't qualify in that category) when He gave us plenty of earth-based items to eat.



    i agree that our bodies are designed to live off a plant-based diet, although the bible does mention that Jesus ate fish. contrary to many omnivores' objections, our teeth are NOTHING like (not even close!) to a true carnivore's teeth. our digetive tract is also unable to handle the digestion of animal flesh and its products. our intestines are long and have many crevices, while a carnivore's is short and smooth.



    lastly, the only place where God specifically gave us directions for food lies in Genesis 1:29: Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food." (NIV)
    Reply:What denomination is this now?
    Reply:no !!! i am a doc , there are two kinds of teeth , sets i mean one is carnivorous ,those which can eat meat easily and one is herbbivorous like sheeps , goats , which are made in a fashion that can only eat hearbs veg that is , and God gave us a carnivorous set so that we can eat meat easily , and why deprive ourselves of course too much of everything is bad , plus our digestive system , is perfectly made to be able to digest it too !!! c ! while animals who can;t digest it don't eat it ! we can , we are made so !!!
    Reply:It depends on who wrote the book.



    If a butcher wrote it, it would say - eat meat seven days a week and twice on Sunday.



    The bible is just a collection of stories based on a middle eastern man who tried to do some good over 2000 years ago. That is all - if you wish to use it as a guidebook for your life - go right ahead.
    Reply:I doubt it, Jesus ate fish.
    Reply:God is imaginary. Man is omnivorous. We are able to adapt to the foods available in any given environment. Eskimos survive on animal protein only, because you can't grow fruits, vegetables and grains in ice and snow. And some indigenous tribes in South America and Africa are vegetarian. In modern society it is a choice people make based on personal beliefs.
    Reply:meat and fish wouldn't taste so good if we weren't supposed to eat it
    Reply:i think that ur getting way 2 involved in this. eat what u want 2 eat. after all, God took animal skins and clothed Adam and Eve after they sinned.

    Hope i Helped!


    Which NBA Arena is the best-looking and why?

    In terms in outside/inside look, the actual court design, seats, etc..



    i live in so cal and only been to the Staples Center and the Forum in Inglewood, CA. and no other NBA arenas. Staples is just OK, it's very plain compared to the old Forum, which was much more friend friendly and Laker-like with all the orange/yellow seats ...my personal opinion, I think Madison Square Garden is still the best

    Which NBA Arena is the best-looking and why?

I'm not saying this coz I'm a Mavs fan (OK maybe my answer a lil bit influenced) but the American Airlines Center is one of the best and possibly the best places I've ever been to. The arena is made of red brick with beautifull gothic columbs all around. It has 3 huge HD screens out side the Arena and the 8 huge HD screens at the scoreboard. The seats are comfortable and cushy. The inside looks like its a mix between an Arena and a 5 start hotel lobby. Plush carpets every where, Original paintings pretty much all around and not just the lux area. Huge plane models hanging from the ceilings and state of the art tech inside. Cubans been working on installing order units on each seat so people dont miss a thing and the food/ BEER is delivered to them. When Cuban bought the team (the arena was under construction), he made Ross Pirot pay (previous owner) an extra 100 mil for the arena and then added his own 50 mil to make it one of the best on the planet.

    It makes the AT%26amp;T center of the spurs look like crap.

    Carmen hired a landscaper to design a small garden at the side of her house. The garden will measure 2 m by 3 m, and it will contain a mixture of perennial plants. The landscaper wants to draw a scale diagram of Carmen’s garden on a piece of paper that measures 30 cm by 50 cm.







    a) Determine a suitable scale for the scale diagram so that it will fit on the piece of paper



    b) Determine the dimensions of the scale diagram, using the scale you determined in part a



    c) According to the landscaper, five perennial plants can be planted in each square metre of the garden. If each perennial costs $2.50, what will be the total cost of all the perennials needed to fill the garden?

    Help Me Please! I Dont Get It?
    First convert 2m to cm =200cm

    3m to cm = 300cm

    Now you have to scale that down to fit on 30cm by 50cm paper

    If you divide 200cm by 10 =20

    divide 300cm by 10 = 30

    Hay, it will fit on the paper and the answer to a) is 1/10 scale

    The answer to b) is 20cm by 30cm

    Now for c) 5 plants per square meter so

    to get the square meter you multiple 2m *3m = 6square meters

    5 plants per square meter so 6 * 5 = 30

    each plant cost $2.50 times 30 = $75
    Reply:put paper so long side is on the bottom (50 cm). use scale 1 m = 15 cm. then 2 m = 30 cm and 3 m = 45 cm, so it'll fill out the "height" of the paper and almost fill out the width.



    2 x 3 = 6 sq. meters and 5 plants per sq. m so total # plants = 30 and 30 x 2.5 = $75.
    Reply:I am so glad my school daze are over. I have no clue how to deal with this question, except by algebra, which I detest.
    Reply:a Top fit in the dimensions of the paper 30 cm x 50 cm you will need to draw a rectangle that is in scale and which will fit on the paper. Thus the rectangle is of the proportion 2 by 3. The largest way to do it wiould be to use the full width of the paper (30 cm) which equals two, and (45 cm) which equals three. This will leave a border of 2 1/2 cm on each end.



    b The scale is calculated by dividing the measurements into the full scale model so:-





    2 metres equals 2000 cm so



    2000/30 = 66.66 times as big so that's your scale 66.66 to 1.



    c As the area of the garden is 2 metres by 3 metres this equals 2x3 = 6 square metres.



    Each square metre has 5 perennial plants so the total number of plants is



    5 x 6 = 30



    Each perennial costs $2.50 so 30 would cost



    30 x $2.50 = $75.00
    Reply:Make each cm on the paper equal to a tenth of a meter. So to represent 2 m you would have 20 cm on the paper; to represent 3m you would have 30 cm on the paper. That would fit easily on your 30cm x 50cm sheet.



    The total square yardage of the plot is 2m x 3m = 6 sq. m. Five perennial plants can be planted in each square meter, so you can accomodate 6 x 5 = 30 plants. Each plant costs 2.50 so you would need 30 x $2.50 = $75.00 to fill the garden.
    Reply:A%26amp;B) The easiest scale would be to utilize 20x30cm of the paper, and the scale would be 1m:10cm. If this is math homework, your teacher may want you to come up with a different formula for establishing the scale.



    C) First, figure out how many square meters are in the garden, based on the dimensions. Then multiply that by how many plants will be in each sq m. Then multiply that by the cost per plant ($2.50).


    Not sure how to set it up?

    Nancy and Ned both work for a botanical garden. The botanical garden is adding a number of floral designs around its grounds. Nancy, who has more experience, can plant the flower and make the design by herself in 3 hours. It takes Ned 5 hours working by himself to make the same design. If Nancy and Ned are assigned to work together, how long will it take them to make the design?

    Not sure how to set it up?
    Nancy can do a full job in 3 hours, so her rate of work is "1 job per 3 hours". Or since she can to 1/3 of the job in one hour, we could say her rate is 1/3 job per hour. Likewise, Ned's rate is 1/5 job per hour. Let t be the number of hours working at the job. Then after t time, Nacy can do (1/3)t of the job and Ned can do (1/5)t. We want to add these together to add up to 1 (for "1 job", which means the whole project. So our equation is:



    (1/3)t + (1/5)t = 1



    You can multiply both sides of this by 15 to cancel out the fractions, then solve for t.
    Reply:To set this one up, think about how much of the design each person can make in one hour. Since Nancy takes 3 hours, in one hour she will have finished 1/3 of the float. Likewise, Ned will have finished 1/5 of the float in one hour. So both of them working together can finish 1/3+1/5 of the float in one hour. You should be able to figure out the rest from here. =) If you need more help, just let me know.
    Reply:There is a simple formula you can use: Together/Separate + Together/Separate = 1.



    Let Nancy represent the first T/S and Ned represent the second T/S. We know the Separate times of each are 3 and 5 respectively. We are trying to find the time it Together takes them to do the one job.



    Hence, set it up at x/3 + x/5 = 1. Find Least Common Denominator of 15.



    Thus, 5x/15 + 3x/15 = 15/15. Since the x's are on top, you can basically ignore the denominator 15s for actually solving the problem.



    5x + 3x = 15, means 8x = 15. So, x = 15/8 which is a little less than 2 hours. If you desire it to be in minutes, it is 7 and 1/2 minutes under 2 hours; ie, 1 hour and 52 and 1/2 minutes for them to do together.

    Anyone looking for decorative outdoor lighting other than solar?

    Have never had good luck with reliable solar lighting and cheap plastic coverings that can't stand up to elements, so would like to recommend low voltage, hand-made designs from solid copper, for paths, gardens, decks and water features. Check out CopperScapes.com

    My cats only drinks out of certain items.. why?

    My cats prefer toilet water, water from the faucet (they lick the stream), or water from plastic garden watering containers.. they don't drink out of ceramic or glass, nor out of the specially designed items to give water to cats..



    Any idea what? I am thinking that the plastic material gives a taste to the water? and they don't mind tap because it's 'hard' here, has lots of minerals and chlorine, also a certain taste..



    any idea?

    My cats only drinks out of certain items.. why?
    Perhaps the water from the toilet, faucet and other containers is colder?
    Reply:cats are the most finicky of any animal. they like water from these sources because they are fresher and cooler. water that just sits gets warm and stale, and a cats taste buds let them know that. mine drinks from toilet whenever possible, husband freaks and closes lid, he is the one with problem. they make little water dishes for cats that recycle the water, keeps it fresher, but i suggest dont use chemicals in toilet except to clean it, and make sure its rinsed good, that way when she drinks she wont get any,,,,,,,,,just let her have pottie, keep water in dish and change frequently , but let her have pottie water if she wants.

  • Math prob. please help?

    A rose garden is designed by joining a rectangle and a semicircle, as shown below. The rectangle is 32 long and 26 wide. If the gardener wants to build a fence around the garden, how many feet of fence are required? (Use the value 3.14 for pi , and do not round your answer. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.)

    Math prob. please help?
    There is no figure as you have mentioned. I am therefore considering two possible cases. First one : when the semicircles are on the larger side and the second one when they are on the smaller one.



    In the first case when when the semicircles are on the larger sides length of the fencing = 2 (26) + 2 ( the perimeter of the semicircle with radius - 32/2 ie with radius 16)



    =%26gt; 52 + 2 ( Pi multiplied by radius of the semicircle)



    (Note that length of semi-circumference of a circle is = Pi.radius)





    Hence length of the fencing = 52 + 2 Pi . 16



    =%26gt; 52 + 32 Pi = 52 + 32 ( 3.14 ) = 152. 48 units.... Answer



    (Note that you have not mentioned units of length. If it is in meter then the answer = 152.48 m )



    .........................................



    In the second case length of the fencing = 2 (32) + 2 ( Pi.13 )



    =%26gt; 145.64 m ...................... Answer



    P.K.T.
    Reply:its either 130.82 (if semi circle is on 26 side)

    or 134.24 (if semi circle is on 32 side)


    Optimization problems?

    A landscaper is asked to design and build a fenced in rectangle flower bed. The flower bed is to be make up of two different varieties of flower with one forming a 2 foot border around the other. The garden's owner already has a 100ft square of flower she wants to use on the outside border. Since these flowers are already paid for, the landscaper's only profit will come when he makes from selling the fence and inner flowers. The landscaper should choose the dimensions of the bed to maximize the cost to the owner. If fencing cost $25 for each foot length and the second flower variety cost $38 per ft^2. what is the maximum possible cost for such a garden???

    Optimization problems?
    100 sq feet minus 16 square feet for the corners =84

    84 / 2 = 42 linear feet of border

    42 / 4 = 10.5

    so the inner section will be

    10.5 by 10.5 or 110.25 sq feet

    the border will be 14.5 by 14.5

    The fence on the perimeter of that will be 58 feet long (14.5 x 4)



    110.25 x 38 = $4189.50

    58 x 25 = $1450

    4189.50 +1450 = $5639.5

    Math problem?

If the gardener wants to build a fence around the garden, how many feet of fence are required? (Use the value for , and do not round your answer. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.)

    Math problem?
    can't see "as shown below"

    Can you explain better or give link to diagram?
    Reply:If the semicircle is on the 29 side:

    2(19) + 29 + 29pi/2 = 67 + 14.5pi



    This is because the radius is equal to 1/2 the diameter and the perimeter of a semicircle is radius*pi. The 2 19's come from the rectangle part of the garden and the other 29 comes from the side opposite the semicircle.



    If the semicircle is on the 19 side:

    2(29) + 19 + 19pi/2 = 77 + 9.5pi



    You simply switch the 19 and 29 values.
    Reply:Picture, value for pi, and units are missing.



    Assume semicircle at narrow end of garden, 3.14 and feet



    Fence for 3 sides fo rectangular portion is



    19 + 29 + 29 = 77



    Circumference of circle = 2pi r = pi d



    Distance around half of circle of diameter 19 is 19(3.14)/2 = 29.83



    Fence = 77 + 29.83 = 106.83 feet

    It sounds like your cat likes drinking water that is moving, which is pretty common. There are several water drinking fountains made specially for cats because the moving water encourages them to drink which is very good for their health. Here is a pet fountain:

    Hallo, I'm looking for a (reader's digest?) book about life in an english farm, on how to live self-sufficient

    It's a quite old book, larger than its length (about 20 vertical x 30 orizz cm), maybe around 300 pages, a light beige cover with many designs about country life; the book shows how to manage an energy-self-sufficient farm including a garden with veggies and lots of animals.

    any suggestions??



    oh...the structure will be free standing on an rectangular area of about 18 square meters (3*6)meters.



    thanks

    Need advice on backyard structures and accessories??
    Well first you must use Cedar or a similar wood that does not rot in the weather. I have always loved cedar since it ages really well. The bigest thing about the pergola is that you don't have a lot of design options for shape, but the little details are the trick.



    You can either make it square or a pentagon or hexagon shape. With square your roof would be flat, with the others you can have a more pitched roof to the members. I know it is open framing, but sometimes if you grow ivy in the flat roof it takes over and crowds the walk space. Of course with the pitched members you don't feel so crowded.



    Also the ends of the members you can cut to some scalloped design and that is a shape you can define yourself or use a standard shape. Maybe you brand the members with your last initial, or an old style Japanese blessing.

    Math help?

    Martha has 70 feet of fencing to make a vegetalbe garden. Which design will give matha the largest garden? How do you know this?



    A. 23x12

    B. 24x11

    C. 21x14

    D. 22x13

    Math help?
    The largest garden means the largest area.

    In order to find the area you multiply the two numbers and then you get the area:

    A. 23x12=276

    B. 24x11=264

    C. 21x14=294

    D. 22x13=286



    So the answer would be C. 21x 14 (assuming the garden is a rectangle).

    I don't think it really matters as long as you ensure that you have justified every way of making it, and as long as it goes with health and safety and it is branded correctly.

    DIY: How do I fit these ladder hooks in to interior brick in my garage?

    I bought some "ladder hooks". They will probably be delivered to me in a few days. Pack of 5 which are designed to hold up ladders against the wall... say in the garage.



    http://images.marketworks.com/fullView.a...



    I intend to use mine to hold up some wooden garden chairs which fold.. like 2 hooks parallel on the wall, hopefully to fit and support the weight of 2 chairs on the hooks.



    http://re3.mm-a5.yimg.com/image/33779250...



    Problem 1: Garage is brick. I've fully used the upper layer of timber for other storage hooks... but I've never attempted drilling in to brick.



    Problem 2: I've only experienced storage hooks of the type which have 1 or 2 holes in them. There all I did was add a supporting wooden baton to the timber in garage.. then secured the hooks in to the baton with screws.



    The ladder hooks have no hole for screws, but the screw itself seems part of the hook?



    How to best fit these pls ?

    Thx.

    DIY: How do I fit these ladder hooks in to interior brick in my garage?
    Hi

    To fit these hooks do the following

    1. Measure the length of what you would like to hang (whilst folded)

    2. mark wall at height of measurement taken + the height you want it off floor on the wall

    3. Drill as many holes as you have brackets, equally spaced in the wall with approximately 10mm Dia (masonary bit) 0r as manufacturers reccommendation.

    4.Tap appropriate plugs in holes with a hammer (usually colour coded grey for 10mm)

    5. Screw the hooks into the plugs, ensure all thread is in wall.

    6. Hang items carefully to check weight is ok for hooks.
    Reply:get a carbide/masonry drill bit the size of the hook, drill it out and use anchors or dual tube hardeners and slam the hooks in the hole.

    your hdwr store personnel will show you how to do it and what sizes to use for your hooks.
    Reply:for brick you will need a masonry bit
    Reply:Masonary drill bit, and rawl plugs.



    head to B %26amp; Q. You can buy "kits"
    Reply:you go to the hardware store and ask. they should have a drill bit for concete and brick you use then use concete screws. Or why didn't you just hang stuff from the ceiling? I used the ceiling lots of times to hang stuff along the walls
    Reply:Hammer drill and some wall plugs - they are easy to fit - just wait until they arrive and find out the size of the thread - drill a hole that size and stick a wall plug in - then screw the bracket into the wall plug - don't drill the hole to deep - just a tiny bit longer than the thread on the bracket


    I need the name of an old BBC America show about backyard/garden makeovers.?

    The host was a young man who designed "extreme" backyard makeovers. I watched it 6 or 7 years ago, maybe, and I'm sure it is no longer on. It was on around the same time as Ground Force.



    The only episode I can remember had a room in the backyard that moved back and forth on tracks. It may have moved back to reveal a hot tub (or something similar), but I can't remember. The room moving on tracks is the one thing that sticks out in my mind... I had never seen it before and I haven't seen it since.



    I can't think of the name of the show... or the host... and it is really irritating me. Please help! lol

    I need the name of an old BBC America show about backyard/garden makeovers.?
    I believe the show was a spin off from the show Homefront called Homefront in the Garden.

    Does a fire exit need to directly lead you outside a building or can it just give you access to an open area?

    Im designing an apartment and now that im putting the fire exits on place, must i put the door leading straight outside the building or can it go straight out to an open dining area which opens up to a garden? THe only reason why im hesitant to put an exit w/c goes straight out of the front of the bldg is because i dont want the fire exit door to ruin my facade. That particular area is covered in stone cladding and if i put a fire exit door, it wont look as nice. Unlike if i put the door leading the other way inside, itl just exit to the back (open dining). Kind of a long hallway but nevertheless straight out. Can i just do that?? Help!!

    Does a fire exit need to directly lead you outside a building or can it just give you access to an open area?
    check your local building codes
    Reply:Needs by law to go outside the building as per code in your state!@~
    Reply:Forget about your facade and worry about your lawsuit and prison when somebody gets killed because YOU didn't design the fire exit to lead OUT of the building to safety.

    Why do ignorant creationists continue to try to deny human evolution in the face of irrefutable evidence?

    When science has proven again and again that we've evolved over the past six million years from...

    ardipithecus…

    australopithecus...

    To our human family of:

    homo habilis...

    homo ergaster...

    homo heidelbergensis...

    To the co-existing homo (human) species:

    homo floresiensis (the Hobbit human species)

    homo erectus

    homo neanderthalensis

    homo sapiens idaltu (archaic homo sapiens, our big brothers!)

    homo sapiens sapiens (fully modern homo sapiens, us!)



    And yes, there are transitional fossils, for those who want to bring up that argument, homo sapiens idaltu are the most obvious transitional fossils out there! Modern humans with the archaic, “ape-like” features of their ancestors, so those looking for the “transitional fossils don’t exist” argument, it doesn’t work!



    Why is it so hard for ignorant creationists to accept Evolution? We did not evolve from “apes”, we ARE apes! The naked kind, that’s why we are in the family of guess what, GREAT apes! Our line split from the line that evolved into the rest of our great ape family (orangutans, gorillas, chimps and the most like us, bonobos) millions of years ago yet!



    God created the universe and all of the processes within it, so why is it considered an insult by creationists that we have descended from a common ancestor? God created Evolution, and therefore, God created Humankind through Evolution, as Creation and Evolution go hand in hand if you can see the big picture! Evolution through Intelligent Design makes us no less special than if God kerplunked Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and we physically came from then (which is untrue – although there HAS been proven that we came from a Genetic/Mitochondrial Eve – cool!)



    Besides, if NOT for Evolution, what need would God have for all of the above human species??? Why not just create homo sapiens sapiens and be done with it? Or does He just like to confuse His children, or create stumbling blocks for us?



    And, as other Christians have called Neanderthals NOT human, why would they bury their dead -- only HUMANS have a sense of the afterlife and God, don't they? Neanderthals certainly wouldn't have buried their dead if not fully human! Neanderthals were an amazing type of human being in and of themselves, how interesting it would have been to live in a time when we weren’t the only human species around!



    If anything, Evolution of human beings from our oldest ancestors to us inspires awe and amazement, not disgust and ignorance. Thoughts?



    I’m a Christian who loves science, evolution and God, and threre is no contradiction in any of it!

    Reply:Dear Christine,

    Don’t you get it? IF we are all descended form the same gene pool as apes then the “Flawless word of God” is wrong.

    If the bible’s answers aren’t perfect then we stop looking to the priests and clerics for our absolute answers. And that would mean less $$$ in the collection plate.

    Therefore the bible AND your priest’s interpretation of it MUST be perfect.

    The answer is just THAT simple girl. $$$!

    This is how The Extreme Right Refrain Fred Phelps puts food on his table… By standing outside the funerals of fallen solders, and assuring us all how God is killing our troops because there are Homos in the military. http://www.godhatesfags.com

    Reply:Hmm... It's obvious you know nothing of science OR God. There is no proof of evolution, the "proof" evolutionists use is not proof. They use inaccurate dating methods and claim things are millions of years old.

    *This is fact* A live mollusk was tested for age and the test showed it had been dead for 2,000 years! Mind you, it was ALIVE!! So divide your fossils by 2,000 and you MIGHT get a real number...

    Not only that, there is a LOT of evidence against evolution... It is obvious, however, that you never did any REAL research. You researched only things that supposedly prove what you believe. But have you ever researched the other side that counters what the evolutionists claim?

    Actually, it is usually the evolutionists that are ignorant. That’s how so many “fossils” that were not real were accepted as authentic. Take for instance, the “fossil” that was created from a pig tooth! And the “fossil” that was actually made of the bones from a modern ape! And the list goes on and on and on…



    You might love science and God, but you know very little about them. What you believe in is something that came from people that were taught Christianity by their parents but were taught evolution by their school. They were taught (incorrectly) that evolution was science and therefore could not be disproved, but still believed in God. So they made a compromise. I actually happen to know a couple of people like that.
    Reply:You said it "IGNORANTS" you need say no more.
    Reply:You are making personal attacks by calling us ignorant. That means you have already lost the argument.



    From what I read Homo sapiens idaltu is described as a human not part ape part human. So you still have not shown me the missing link.
    Reply:That's just Satan talking. We know that he just planted those fossils there to fool silly scientists who spend their whole lives researching when they can find all the answers in the holy bible.



    /sarcasm





    starred.



    edit-

    Homeland security- that's exactly what she means. In science, theory isn't just a guess, it's a supported model. Evolution can't be repeated or observed and is more complex than a law, that's why it can't be called one.
    Reply:they only part of science any creationist will accept... is the part that deals with finding drugs that make them live longer...



    it is the only part of science they need because they know that eating the Bible won't cure cancer.
    Reply:We have alot of homos in the family, huh??



    I agree. I think people just like to repeat what they hear without thinking it through. It seems to me that God did create science so it must be here for a reason!!



    For the record... I don't totally buy into all the creation/evolution thing but partially because I don't think it's important. I don't like reading Revelation either. I live for today and I'm not worried about where we came from. In the end, we came from God and I know that and love that. And we'll be going back there soon enough! Anyway, it's though provoking and interesting reading though!!!



    Be blessed.
    Reply:Homeland security-The theory of gravity is a theory. Does that mean it's not real? Moron.



    Anyway, creationists tend to put on blinders every time something scientific pops up. They aren't mentally capable of accepting truth--they'd rather cling to their faith with all the ferocity of a man hanging off the edge of a sinking ship.
    Reply:I am genuinely disappointed that members of my own race are still having this debate.
    Reply:Ignorant creationist is redundant - and you've answered your question.



    OTOH, I find plenty of contradictions in your bible - not to evolution, but to itself and rational thought. But that's another issue.

    1. The were not there

    2. The studies they do can only be based on the knowledge we have.

    3. Most religions and science agrees that there was some major catastrophe that changed the world.

    In that change there was chemical and physical so what makes you think all the tests and calculations are going to be accurate?





    Besides -- this Mitochondrial Eve was supposed to be a female woman so where in your theory do apes come in?
    Reply:Talk about intolerance and stereotyping!!! And so many accuse Christians of being intolerant! Most of the answers to this question lump all Christians into one mold. I am a Christian who loves education, science and God. There is room for both in my life. Creation and evolution are not mutually exclusive. We just haven't got all the answers yet. God only knows!
    Reply:You′re right. Totally. But don′t get angry... It pleases them too much.
    Reply:You answered your own question. They're ignorant of the subject. To a creationist the theory of evolution is this:



    Your great grandfather was a monkey who crawled out of goo.



    They clearly lack education on the subject.



    To the person below me: Ignorance is the lack of education on a specific subject, not a personal attack or an insult. So basically, you're ignorant on the subject of ignorance.
    Reply:They lack education. Lot of homos because we are hominids.
    Reply:Why do you continue to taught that evolution was designed in some way when the idea of intelligent design was rejected by those very same scientists?



    Evolution has been proven to occur WITHOUT the need or requirement of any form of superior being intervention.
    Reply:good point! There is an explanation but the TRUTH on that still remains a mystery. We cannot deny that apes, neandrathals, and other forms of apes did not exist, or even Dinosaurs....there is physical proof that those primitive forms of life once existed. We also cannot deny as Christians what we know to be true in our hearts, that we came from our Father in Heaven and that we are created in His image. One day God will reveal all truth. Just an imperative reminder our souls are made up of spirit and body. Whats to say about apes and spirit? Did they pray to God? You either believe in God or you dont. I cannot possibly fathom a christian who has the fundamental belief that God is the same yesterday today and forever could fit such belief into a ape life style 6M yrs ago to say that they prayed to God and God spoke to them through angels or even a burning bush. Also, its ludicris for one to say that christians do not believe in science. If we believe God created us, then isnt that science?? People go to school for years to learn about the human anatomy....created by God. Such as the trees, sky, air, and every form of life that exist on the face of the earth. We also believe that all intelligence is Given to man by God....even scientist. Also I wouldnt go as far as calling humans apes....not that I think its disgusting its just that we dont go around calling chickens- eggs. Even animals have a respect for differentiating their kind. human beings are human beings end of story. That is why we cant get down to the nitty gritty of things because people come up with some exaggerated reasoning for where we came from and blah blah blah, THEN they think their reasons are logical and written eloquently, THEN they think out their ears and call it FACTS. It doesnt work that way. Would it hurt atheists to feel with their hearts? or are they afraid that they would die of a heart attack?
    Reply:The real question is why is someone as seemingly intelligent as yourself asking such a simplistic question? It's more than obvious you already have come to a conclusion before even asking this, and it's evident in your use of "ignorant" as an adjective.



    That's just it, they are ignorant of the theory. Their bible has deafened and blinded them to other options, they are close minded individuals, most of which have been so since birth.



    25% of the U.S. is Evangelical. Approximately 75% of home schooled students are evangelical. This is because their parents don't want them being taught things like the evolution and the world being billions of years old. Why? Why if they are so sure of their bible are they censoring their children from an alternate theory? An alternate theory that says more than "god did it".



    I hate to do it, but I'm going to have to go ahead and call you a hypocrite. Belief in christianity has no scientific base. While I respect your decision to have "faith", that is undoubtedly baseless in a scientific world.



    So maybe out of all these people answering your question, you are the only one truly capable of answering it. You understand your faith and evolution, no one else does. What makes you believe in something that isn't scientifically sound while simultaneously arguing for something that is scientifically sound? Why could you of all people blame anyone for just believing?

  • Adrian decided to conduct an experiment on the affects of gibberellins on plant growth for a science project?

    He chose garden peas for his experiment. He grew a dwarf type of garden pea and sprayed half of his plants with gibberellin every day for three weeks after germination. The other half of the plants were not sprayed. At the end of his experiment, he measured the height of all of the plants. He found that the dwarf plants that were sprayed with gibberellin were much taller than the unsprayed plants. He concluded that gibberellin increases the growth rate of pea plants.



    a. How could you modify Adrian's conclusion to make it better reflect the results he obtained?



    b. How could Adrian have designed his experiment differently to make it a better experiment?

    Adrian decided to conduct an experiment on the affects of gibberellins on plant growth for a science project?
    a) External gibberelin application allows dwarf pea plants to grow taller.



    b) Include more groups with differing doses or application frequencies of gibberelin.

    If physics is an evil science, doesn't that make garden hoses evil?

    Levity is an option only if you're not being taught how to

    Can you help?????

    i'm a landscaper and i have this customer who wants me to design her garden for $5.000

    and i simply said if you want a garden that is going to look like it hasn't been touched............

    my estimate for her is $10.000 as she is on acerage (2.5) that is the cheapest i can do for her do you think it is expensive or impossible..........

    Can you help?????
    I would suggest that she gets the basics done well. Perhaps you can do the garden in front of the house and just around the back close to the house, and when she has the money gets you to come back and add additional beds etc.



    You could also give her an idea of what things cost eg turf to cover her block. It may sound a lot of money to her but when broken down to paving, turf and shrubs and trees she may see that money doesn't go very far on a hectare of ground.



    If you cant do a good job for the money you may be best to leave it alone rather than ruin your reputation.
    Reply:I don't know all of the particulars, but a price is a price. You are in the business to make money, and help people out along the way. Don't lose your shirt trying to sell a job or please a customer.

    Reply:If she wants a design for 5000 then give her one for 5000.

    If you wanted a car for 5000 you wouldnt want them to show you a 10000 one. So go back to your drawing table. Design a plan that you could do for 5000 and show it to her. If it has to be small then so be it. Just make as nice of one as you can within the budget she stated. Dont include the entire acreage. Maybe just around her house. m
    Reply:As I don't know where you are located, I would have no clue. Only you know what you can do this job for. Stick to your guns about this. You gave the customer a price, they either accept it or they don't. I hope this helps.

    Was God's original plan just to create Adam and Eve was a "patch" to a glitch in the design?

    In Genesis 2 (KJV) it seems like God thought of making Eve after he thought of making Adam - like an afterthought.



    15And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.



    16And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:



    17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.



    18And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help mate for him.

    God's been winging it from day one. He wasn't even sure the light was going to be good until he looked upon it.
    Reply:good questions....

    keep in mind that we are created in the image of God. A highly debated statement.

    Are we given insight to the thought process (if you can say that) of God before things unfolded.

    We had the freedom to choose, and we were created to commune openly with God, but we were tempted to disobey Him, thus acquiring our sinful nature, disease, corruption, and death.

    Take for example an individual who " decides" that he/she wants to remain Single. No amount of urging on your or my part as to " why dont you get someone" is going to change their Minds. However years later they decide they want a Partner. None of us can at that time say " You were foolish" and should have started earlier. Its their call.

    Not everyone thinks like you do Brain...thankfully ( said in jest*)

    This is a great website for little ones (and ideas for us "big ones") ... www.enchantedlearning.com



    I go here for all sorts of ideas for holidays and rainy day projects.



    I send my children to school for social purposes only, then teach them myself when they get home. Sorry, but I've lost all faith in the school system of Louisiana and feel that they learn nothing at school.



    I'd love to help out if I can, and share ideas , but I don't expect payment in return. Seeing children use their imaginations, laughing and learning, is payment enough :)

  • Did God or Satan, or both together, design the modern tiger?

    Fundamentalist Christians believe that carnivorous animals like the tiger used to be docile vegetarians in the Garden of Eden. Then, after the Fall of Man, the Food Chain came about, and tigers became hunters with meat-eating teeth, with bodies adapted for stalking and hunting, eyes that could see in the night etc. But that would mean the pre-Lapsarian tiger was a very different animal to the modern one. So, when we admire tigers today, are we admiring the work of God, or the work brought about by sin (and therefore Satan). Isn’t that what Blake was driving at when he wrote of the tiger in a famous poem: “Did He who made the lamb, make thee? And, as all of Nature is fallen in this way, don’t we really praise Satan whenever we admire it? Or are Satan and God just opposite sides of a coin, like many dualists and Gnostics believe?

    Did God or Satan, or both together, design the modern tiger?
    The modern tiger was designed by the needs of the tiger in the world in which they lived. Evolution caused them to be the way they are today.
    Reply:Lucifer was once god's favorite angel...perhaps it was a collaberation...
    Reply:the tiger, and the shark, bush...etc
    Reply:I think most would consider me a fundamentalist Christian. In the future, please don't tell others what I believe unless you either know for sure or have consulted me first. You are way off base, sir. God created carnivorous animals to eat other animals. It is not a result of the fall of man. (The pointy teeth are a dead giveaway!)

    Looking for web sites w/ pictures of how ppl have hidden hot tub/spa in and amongst flowers not just decking

    I have a 16 x 25 foot side yard w/privacy fencing that I want to transform into a lush garden retreat. As part of the design I want to add our hot tub. Rather then deck it in like most people I want it surrounded with perennials and annuals. I want to add a narrow winding wooden walk way that leads through the side yard but then off to the tub. I am looking for a site that shows other home owners hiding there tub in a garden setting and not just decking it in. If you have done this or Know some one who has and has posted pictures I would be very interested in seeing them to get ideas. thanks in advance

    Looking for web sites w/ pictures of how ppl have hidden hot tub/spa in and amongst flowers not just decking

    Help me design a tattoo?

    I have no skills when it comes to drawing and I need help.



    If you are willing could you draw, or photoshop what I'm describing and host it and answer with a link please?



    Or if you know of a good link.



    Im gonna want a cross and a serpent on my left upper arm.



    I want the cross to be clearly wooden.



    The serpent to be showing its fangs, and a coloration that makes you think about Satan (like in the Garden of Eden), I don't have a preference as to what kind of snake it is.



    The cross should be stomping, stabbing, piercing,or otherwise killing the serpent.



    The symboling is very simple, the Cross (to me) represents God and good, the Serpent (to me again) represents Satan and evil, and the Cross is destroying the Serpent.



    Here is a link to a tattoo that is kinda close to what i'm looking for:

    Feel free to take artistic license, have fun, make it interesting, add other things to it if you think it looks good.



    Thanks for the help!

    You sound like you already know what your image will be once you see it. Your ideas are very specific. So, you should start looking at artist portfolios to find a artist style you like.



    You have plenty of information and details that you can go to a solid artist and have them design your tattoo. They don't just trace and ink, they also design tattoos based on the images and information you give them.



    Sure, you might end up paying more for it, but this can get the artist excited to design and ink you tattoo. An inspired artist will certainly give you an inspired tattoo you'll be proud of for the rest of your life.



    Good luck!
    Reply:most tattoo places have an artist there that can design what you want and they usually don't charge you anything


    How can I design the best landscape for south florida backyard?

    I have about 1/4 acre of yard at my south florida home. We have chain-link fences all around, with the back of our property on a canal. I would love to have a place for the kids to play, a vegetable garden and a butterfly garden. And I would like to limit the amount of grass - but there is sooo much to do. Where should I start? I don't have the money to hire someone and want to do it in stages, but work out the overall plan before I start anything.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to start? Should I just start working on 5'x5' sections? I am at a loss and the season is already well on it's way. Thanks

    How can I design the best landscape for south florida backyard?
    it may be worth some money to hire a landscape architect. if you are really against that, make a list of things you want in the space and things you would like to see happen, or not happen in the space. this is called a program. next, spend lots of time in the space and figure out the best spaces for views, spaces that need shade, etc. next draw a to scale boundary of your yard and start filling in the space with the program elements, keeping in mind the views, slopes, sun exposure, etc. it sounds like you want to go the sustainable route, so go to your local nursery (NOT home depot, something local where the people know what they are selling) and ask to see a selection of native plants. butterflies like tiny little flowers, so include lantana or something like that that grows in florida. figure out places in your yard to place the plants depending on shade, sun, wind exposure, etc... it's a complex task. you may want to do it in stages so that you can figure out what is working on a small scale rather than doing the whole yard and then realizing that you made a mistake. like i said before, it's a really good investment to hire a professional...it will increase your home value and insure that the space is designed right. many landscape designers offer consulting by the hour for really reasonable fees. you won't get any drawings out of it, but you'll get some great insight, and the professional will be able to pinpoint any major problems with your site if there are any. good luck!
