Fit

Question: Where do humans fit in the natural world? How do we fit into the natural world? Where do we fit in the big picture? How do we fit? How do you know how and where we fit, what tells you? For example if you have a religious view it may/may not be different to somebody with a scientific view of the world. So where is humanity's place in the natural world?

Answer: WHERE On the mountain slopes in Colombia is one place http://byderule.multiply.com/links/item/27/The_Kogi_-_From_the_Heart_of_the_World_-_The_Elder_Brothers_Warning The Kogi who have lived in a Permaculture manner for a thousand years And in many other places where people still live in traditional sustainable manner like the Aborigines,or other Aboriginal people ,such as in Borneo or the northern Amazon regions , But i guess you meant another kind of WHERE .and i don`t really know apart from individual mountain men or hermits around the world that have blended with the Environment with out making a dent in it. The answer for modern Man is that we do not ,we exchange Nature for Concrete ,tar or mono culture farming consuming the natural world. HOW Philosophies like Permaculture teach us HOW we can live side by side with the Environment or hand in hand with Nature as a partner instead of competing for space, http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AvwzVgiEYEuCyWR5maE2O0_sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20070621234541AAcarVJ In which case Nature profits from our protection and sympathetic attitudes,but still looses some ground along the way I really liked William McDonough: concept in The wisdom of designing.http://byderule.multiply.com/links/item/15 where by we live Underneath a natural world even though it be Agriculture. RELIGIOUS Philosophically or religiously speaking i like the concept of an overall Pagan garden Culture. ,http://byderule.multiply.com/journal/item/10 turning the whole joint into a Paradise ,living partly under the ground in hobbit style houses, with home made bread ,cheese,wine and scantily clad fruit picking women running all over the place and the odd chocolate factory with out the internal combustion engine travel by balloon ,schooner or a horse and buggy , And if we limit our numbers we can become a kosher component in the eco systems being part of the concept of natural sustainability and equilibrium just like any other earthling, We can be designers of some small sections of Nature. ,maybe even improving it with water harvesting by putting in more dams, as well as soil building and combating natural erosion,by planting living barriers on slopes Whilst living in a garden our selves on the edges of the wilderness OUR PLACE Presently we fit in by ownership, may it be government or private which protects vast areas,and our money helps to protect other areas But mostly we do not fit in because much of that money is made at the cost of the environment in the first place http://byderule.multiply.com/journal/item/8 Or civilization destroys in all the other ways ,because of pollution,agriculture ,expanding settlement because of over population ,deforestation subsequent desertification all with out any protection from any quarter. US & NATURE to me the garden culture and agro urbanism is the answer,to us continuing with the natural world ,and having a place We can build large ,super modern, high rise GREEN settlements surrounded by agriculture or nature . with all the comforts modern technology has to offer , like a huge human cells, for the city folk I prefer to be near the roots of the grass and the life that comes with it . that was about 5 questions into one , please try to be simple to match my mind edit wonder what warranted the thumbs down was it the fruit picking women lol

Question: How does one fit in with the party crowd in Apartment complexes? Every Friday night/Saturday night there are parties and such in my complex. I live in a community of apartment buildings near NC State and I am looking to fit in with cool people. I have been to a few get-togethers but I didn't always feel like I fit right in. Some guys have even told me to leave. What can I do to fit in with some crowds? I'm a nice guy and always social with anyone. I should really have tons of friends but making new ones are getting a little tough.

Answer: To be welcomed on Friday and Saturday, you have to start working on Monday and Tuesday. Here are some possible ways to begin. 1. Avoid labeling people as cool or uncool. You first have to see yourself and everyone as equals. Love yourself and love everybody else. Don't place everyone into specific groups based upon stereotypes and archetypes. 2. Change your goal. Don't focus on being accepted during Friday and Saturday night parties. These events are intended for people who already have connections. First, you have to create a connection to the people having these events. Be friendly and courteous. Talk to them about the things they are interested in. Ask questions but avoid yes/no questions. Discuss their passions with them and be genuinely interested in their conversations. Invite them over to your place for lunch, dinner or for your own event. Eventually, you will create a connection and be welcomed into their lives. 3. Avoid attempting to change other people or being judgmental. Allow everyone else to make their own decisions and respect those decisions. 4. Take control of your life. Focus on yourself and change your negative attitudes and behavior. Don't be the person you are now. Be the confident and positive person you are intended to be. 5. Discover your passions. Become an interesting person with interesting ideas. Think for yourself. Don't base your ideas on the thoughts of others. Be original. Don't agree with someone to gain their acceptance. Don't argue. Enjoy the ideas and opinions of others, even when they contradict your own. 6. Don't be nice. Be good. Here is an example. Nice: A bully picks on your son in school. You teach your son to walk away and ignore the bully. Or you teach your son to stand up for himself. Good: You invite the bully to your home for dinner with your family. Your family shows the bully love and respect. You and your family become an example for the bully to follow. Nice men are considered too saccharine. They often find themselves left out or overlooked because they are too one dimensional and uninteresting. Practice being good instead. Be an example for other people to emulate. Don't practice shyness. Be confident. Be gregarious. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. You will gain respect and friendship.

Question: How to fit an amplifier and subwoofer in a ford focus estate? Changed my car and have fitted my stereo, however struggling to fit the live power lead from battery to boot without going through the wing and door, can anyone suggest another way in?

Answer: Only 1 way I can think of. Drill a hole somewhere in the fire wall and go through the upper floorboard and run it alone the seams of where the fabric meets the plastic. Easier way would be to go through the door and along the seams where fabric meets plastic. But you said without...so yea...if im not mistaking those are really your only options.

Question: How physically fit are people training to become lifeguards? I was just wondering if people who take the lifeguard classes are extremely fit or not. Does everyone have a six pack and stuff? I consider myself really fit and toned, but I do not look like the people on tv. I can definitely pass the test because I do an hour of cardio daily, including thirty minutes of swimming.

Answer: Honestly, in the past 10 years the physical fitness required to pass a lifeguarding certification has been lowered greatly. Not everyone has a six pack. the people you watch on TV (I take it you watch the more recent versions of Baywatch) are on TV partially because they are in extremely good physical condition, if you work beach front (which is a lot more physically demanding) then you will eventually be trained to the point of that level, but normal lifeguarding jobs require much less physical exertion. Do expect to be tired during your training though, most instructors will make you do workouts as well as the required tests. Expect hard work, and try to have a good attitude, instructors get very tired of whiners.

Question: How does the Big Bang FIT with the creation story in the bible? I'm writing an essay and it is meant to explore how the Big Bang and Evolution might fit with the christian creation story in genesis. I have no clue what to write. I'm not stuck on how it fits with evolution,(i've got some pretty good ideas for that) i'm stuck on how it fits with the Big Bang. Any ideas and points I could make?

Answer: Unless this is for a creative writing class, I don't know what you're going to do. The Big Bang (a mocking term coined by a physicist who disagreed to link the idea of an expanding universe to a British slang for sex) theory and the theory of Evolution by Natural Selection are scientific models that have been tested experimentally. These models not only explain natural phenomena and observations, they make predictions that have been verified by experiment. The Big Bang theory has been updated but the essential idea of a universe expanding from a point where space-time began remains. This theory explains and predicts such things as red shift, isotopic abundances of elements and the microwave background radiation. The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection has nothing to do with the Big Bang. It explains what drives evolution, or the change in gene frequency in a population over time. It has survived 150 years of testing and is the foundation of all of modern biology. There is absolutely no connection between these experimentally verified, scientific models and a creation myth be it the judeo-christian version (which one? there are two versions in genesis alone) or any of the other many myths cooked up by people to explain the unknown. Creation myths attempt to explain the unknown by invoking magic. Everything is explained by magic. They make no predictions, they only seek to explain. They don't explain how these supernatural beings use their magic. They don't tell how these deities will act in the future. That doesn't mean that one of these myths aren't correct. They just can't be proven right or wrong. There is no way to disprove the existence of these deities but that's not in any way special. There is no way to prove that leprechauns and faeries don't exist. Unlike just-so creation stories, scientific theories can be falsified because they make predictions. As soon as an experiment disagrees with the predictions of theory, that theory has to be modified or replaced. Any connection between creation and science is purely accidental.

Question: How do you fit a bath upstairs a very small house? My house is a small one bedroomed terrace. The bath room has a shower only. I really miss having a bath and thought that a standard bath is impossible to fit up the stairs as very narrow. How much smaller are bath tubs made and how do you fit a bath inside your house in a tight squeeze? Also the windows upstairs are very small too. If i get a bath upstairs, the bathroom has enough space. Its just getting it in.

Answer: Hi visit http://www.small-baths.com They do flexible baths easy to move into tight places, yet secure and stable when fitted. OK good luck.

Question: How would you define a fit person? What is the difference between fit and athletic? Many time I see pics of men described as fit but they look very slim, not muscular or... What is the difference between fit and athletic? What do you think?

Answer: Fit is the bodies ability to perform arduous and laborious tasks for prolonged periods of time. There are people in my gym bigger than me but they are only have as strong and have no endurance.

Question: What is the difference between tailored fit and regular fit? As in for example a tailored fit shirt or jacket vs. a regular fit of the same. In a catalogue for example they will have regular against tailored fit but clearly this is not tailored for me personally. So is there something generic that is done to the item to make it tailored? If so what?

Answer: A tailored fit will hit in just the right areas for your specific body so that way it accents your nice broad shoulders, lean stomach, can hide a larger stomach, can make shoulders look broader, etc. Whereas a shirt you buy off the rack you usually have to look a little harder to find one that fits just right. But usually with men you guys can buy tops that look more tailored compared to women's. But for jackets (and slacks also)-either suit or sport, I would definitely get it tailored if needed. Sometimes though-depending on your size, you don't even need to. So go into a place like MensWarehouse and ask them about jackets and tops and they will help you out and get you on the right track about tailoring. I hope this helps though and good luck to you! :-)

Question: Will my stock tires fit an aftermarket wheel if its the same size? Im planning on buying a new set of 15" rims. But the tires on my stock rims are still very good and would save me a lot of money to switch the new rims with just the old tires. But was wondering if they would fit? My stock tire size is 205/65/15. So if i decided to buy aftermarket 15" rims, will any 15" rims fit my old tire? Please help. Thank you.

Answer: While all 15 inch rims have the same diameter their widths will vary. Just make sure your new rims have the same width as the stock ones and you'll have no problem. You'll want a 15 inch rim that's 7 inches wide. 15X7 inch rims are quite popular so you won't have any trouble finding aftermarket rims that suits your liking.

Question: How good is wii fit as a daily aerobic fitness routine? I would like to spend a bit on home fitness. The toss up is between a wii + wii fit and a $300 treadmill. How has your experience been for aerobic routines with wii fit?

Answer: Wii Fit is a solid entry in the fitness genre for the Wii. The range of exercises, from easy to hard, can provide a framework for a daily workout routine that will pay off for players who invest in it. Wii Fit offers four categories of exercises, including Yoga, Muscle Training, Aerobics, Aerobics includes Hula Hoop and Basic Step, and Balance Games include Soccer Heading and Ski Slalom.The Aerobics exercises are great for consistent movement for the whole body. Hula Hoop will require players to sway their hips and catch additional hoops. Players can go on a virtual jog in Basic Run. Without the Balance Board, players simple hold or pocket the Wii Remote to jog in a beautiful landscape among Mii friends. There's also the 2 People Run option for two-player jogs.

Question: How to make deep pocket sheets fit shallower mattresses? I bought new sheets, but the fitted bottoms fit up to 15 inch mattresses and my mattress is 8 inches deep. How can I alter the new ones to fit?

Answer: Cutting length by sewing doesn't work, because the alteration has to happen at the corners where the sheet needs to stretch most. Try sheet straps - they're about 5 bucks at stores like Bed Bath & Beyond: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=14808051 You make your bed, and then clamp the straps under the corners of your bed to tighten your sheet. They even can be used to turn a normal sheet into a fitted sheet, so they definitely work for normal fitted sheets. Good luck, CJ

Question: How do I get "perfect fit" weatherstripping to fit in my car? I'm replacing the weatherstripping on the drivers door of my four door 1979 Chevy Caprice. I bought the really nice stuff from JC Whitney that is supposed to fit perfectly in the car. I've already glued the top around the window channel and that went fine. However, the pegs are too big for the holes along the bottom and sides of the door. I've tried pushing, I've tried a hammer, they are just too large. What do I do? Do I try a drill to make the holes in the car bigger? Do I file down the pegs to make them thinner? (Would this innerfear with the fit?) Something else? Thanks!

Answer: On GM models those are standard so go to a GM dealer and ask for the plastic rivets for the weatherstripping

Answer: Hey as long as i can take them off ok, i don't really care. LOL ;)
