good skateboard shop that sells longboards? Bangkok, Thailand?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

hey. does anyone know of a good skateboard shop in bangkok where they sell high quality longboards ? Sector9, Loaded, slipstream etc. I have heard there is a skateboard shop in MBK but i’m not certain they sell longboards? if you guys know anything about the prices compered too the US that would be mighty fine :)

There’s a shop in the Esplanade Mall on Ratchadaphisik right at the Thailand Cultural Center MRT station that sells quite a few high quality skateboards. I’m not sure what brands they have or if they have what you’re looking for, but I don’t think they’re cheap there. I can’t remember the name of the store, but it’s on the ground floor and is at the entrance to the indoor skateboard park located in the mall.

What mtg deck that you built and got banned by your friends because it was too good or annoying?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

When I used to play magic, all my friends played with green and white decks. I was tired of seeing those color decks so I made an anti green and white. I had a black and artifact deck with Spreading Plague (black enchantment). Its ability was "whenever a creature comes into play, destroy all other creatures that share the same color".

Well I had many of those decks first off was my stasis/kismet deck that was built basically to lock everything down until I could win. Then there was my Thrashing Wumps/Soul Link deck that just gave me so much life it was almost impossible to kill me, then there was my Yawgmoths Bargain/Seismic Assault deck that would win on turn 2 to turn 4, now I play with my Pattern of Rebirth/Protean Hulk/Claws of Gix deck that is built for multi player beat down. I’m sure that I had more but just can’t remember them all.

What element can actually form a compound with itself?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

That is, two distinct species of the pure element combine to make an actual compound. What is the element and what is the compound?
I am not looking for molecules, I wanted to know of a specific compound, that is formed from two distinct species of the pure element combine to make an actual compound. What is the element and what is the compound?

Here’s one: Ozone, O3, has very different properties from molecular oxygen, O2. Of course O2 is different from atomic oxygen, O.

There are, of course, all of the "diatomic elements", H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2, as well as phosphorous, P4, and sulfur, S8.

========== Follow up ==========

Since when did molecules cease to be compounds? That is simply ludicrous. Of course compounds exist as molecules. "True compounds" as Merlin seems to imply are not just "ionic". There are thousands and thousands of molecular compounds.

Next we get to compounds made up of the same element. That’s the crux of this question. For instance, ozone is not simply another allotrope of oxygen, it is recognized as a separate compound from oxygen. Ozone has different chemical and physical properties form oxygen. It even has a charge distribution within the molecule, which is polar. The fact that ozone has a net dipole moment means that there is a redistribution of charge within the molecule despite the electronegativity difference of zero.

Ozone (O3)
Melting point 80.7 K, −192.5 °C
Boiling point 161.3 K, −111.9 °C

Oxygen (O2)
Melting point 54.36 K, -218.79 °C
Boiling point 90.20 K, -182.95 °C

The "boron boride" is interesting and simply points out the bizarre nature of boron compounds. Entire books have been written on just the chemistry of boron. But just because different clusters of boron atoms have different charge distributions doesn’t mean that it is the "only" compound of the same element.

A quote from the article on boron boride says, "Electronegativities of the B12 icosahedra and B2 pairs are different, and this causes charge redistribution and the emergence of partial ionicity in this elemental structure."

This indicates that boron boride is not the simple case where one boron atom appears to have a positive charge and a second appears to have a negative charge. That would be a gross oversimplification.

And of course, we see from the phrase "partial ionicity" that, like all "ionic" compounds, that the bonds are not 100% ionic, but have a degree of covalency.

Let me reiterate, I think Merlin is going too far in saying that only "ionic" compounds are true compounds. He says, "The compound is called Boron boride and is the ONLY example of a true compound made up of one element." Nonsense.

Im 14 years old and i want to get sponsored bye a local skate shop, what tricks should i learn?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

i can 50-50,board slide, Ollie (about a foot high), manual a good distance,180. i just started to get into skating about a month ago.

Im 11 and i’ve been sk8ing for 8 years but if you can only do that i don’t think you’ll get sponcered. But here is what you need to learn. First try to do some flips: kick flip heel flip. next learn some kool street tricks, ok i’ve been sk8ing for a while and i made up weird street tricks but they look kool and i think that helped me. Also you want to be able to ride vert i have a half pipe in my back yard so it helped me. but if you dont just hang out at a local sk8 park on thw weekends.

Hope this helps!!

Does anyone know ways/tricks to learn the difference between preterite and imperfect in spanish?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

Does anyone know ways/tricks to learn the difference between preterite and imperfect in spanish?

Preterit, or "preterito" en espanol, is applied for:
- actions in the past that have been completed
- actions that happened one time only
- a specific action on a specific day

Imperfect, or "imperfecto", is applied for:
- actions that you did on a regular basis (like it was a habit)
- an action that you were doing before you got interrupted (i WAS talking when _________.)

Here are some examples…
preterit:
Yesterday, I WENT to the store. (Ayer, fui a la tienda)
I finished my Spanish test. (Termine mi preuba de espagnol)
I watched a movie with my friend. (Mire una pelicula con mi amiga)

imperfect:
I walked to school every day. (Caminaba a la escuela cada dia)
I was was watching TV when the phone rang. (Mire la television cuando el telefono sono)

It’s tricky but you’ll get it down with lots of practice.

Good luck/buena suerte!

How do I remove the globe from Westinghouse Turbo Swirl 78248 ceiling fan?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

There are no screws like a regular ceiling fan to remove the globe so I can replace the bulb.

Just turn it like a bulb and it will come down

How often should you sharpen hockey skates if you skate 3 times a week?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

I skate 3 times a week playing ice hockey. How often should I have my skates sharpened?

I personally sharpen mine before every game because I like fresh skates, bt if you skate 3 times a week then once a week is good.
