David asks…

Hip hop dancing?

My two friends and I have to do a hip hop dance for P.E. It has to be approximately 3 minutes long and it must be to a song that’s appropriate. None of us are dancers. Does anyone have a link to a website or video or something that gives ideas or even a specific dance? We are allowed to take it from somewhere. Crank That is out of the picture. And it would be better if it is an easy dance to learn.

Thanks a ton!

Google Cleans Up Gmail With New Design, Better Search

Google is rolling out a new design for Gmail over the next few days. It features more white space, less clutter, threaded conversations, new themes, and better search.

Messages aren’t as bunched up as before and easier to read. Adding a social element, Google is adding profile pictures beside each message, and the labels pop out more. The density of the text also adjusts depending on your screen size and resolution, making it easier on the eyes. The new design is in line with some of the changes Google just made to Google Reader in terms of spacing and overall feel.

Conversations are more threaded than before, not just lumped together, so you can actually follow the back and forth. Gmail is also prettying itself up with a host of new themes with background images from iStockPhoto. It is not clear what, if any, G+ integrations there will be.

But one of the biggest changes is the search UI. When you begin typing in the email search box a window pops up with advanced search options to help you refine your search by recipient, sender, subject line, date range, and so on. I think I still prefer the single box and let Google figure out what I mean, but I’ve noticed that it is getting more and more difficult to find emails. (Having more than 200,000 unread emails probably doesn’t help). Getting those advanced search options without having to click to another page might do the trick. I hope.

Google has shown previews of this before and the video below leaked out a couple weeks ago, but is no longer blocked.

“I know my best angles”: Scarlett Johansson – Latest CNN News

Happy Halloween? Not if decorative contacts hurt your eyes

(Credit:FDA)

(CBS) Decorative contacts might make for a terrific Halloween costume. But the FDA has issued a warning to consumers, saying that the contacts can cause potentially blinding eye problems.

PICTURES: Halloween: 10 dumb ways to end up in the ER

Case in point: Laura Butler, a woman who dropped $30 on a pair of blue lenses at a beach souvenir shop, which resulted in $2,000 in medical bills and almost cost her her eyesight. No instructions came with the lenses, and the store didn’t sell solution, so she just popped them. Soon after, she felt excruciating pain – and it took her nearly 20 minutes to remove the lenses, which had stuck to her eyeballs like suction cups.

“The doctor said it was as if someone took sandpaper and sanded my cornea,” she says. “He said he wasn’t going to sugar-coat it, that I could lose my eyesight or could lose my eye.”

She was treated for seven weeks and had dropping eyelid for five months, and to this day has decreased vision.

In addition to the trauma, decorative lens wearers also might get an infection from unsterile lenses that results in an ulcer on the cornea. Ill-fitting contact lenses might deprive the cornea of nutrients and oxygen, which would lead to “tight lens syndrome,” which can be very uncomfortable, according to the National Eye Institute.

Think it’s no big deal if you just wear them once and throw them away? Think again

“Bacterial infections can be extremely rapid, result in corneal ulcers, and cause blindness–sometimes within as little as 24 hours if not diagnosed and treated promptly,” FDA optometrist Dr. Bernard Lepri, said in a written statement. “The problem isn’t with the decorative contacts themselves,” he added. “It’s the way people use them improperly – without a valid prescription, without the involvement of a qualified eye care professional, or without appropriate follow-up care.”

What’s Butler’s message for folks considering decorative contacts this Halloween?

Don’t buy fashion lenses. If you do, she said “Take the time to go to the doctor, pay the extra money, and save yourself the agony.”

The FDA has more on designer contact lenses.

More On Paraplane

Steven asks…

Where can I find information on how learn to fly a Paraplane?

I want to find reading on how to fly a Powered Parachute. How to get a certificate to train others also. I pretty much want to teach myself from readings.

lov-3 answers:

There are tons of powered parachute clubs, they will direct you in the way you should go. I think the EAA has ultralight chapters.

John asks…

Does anyone know where I can buy a good ultralight or paraplane cheap?

Look at ads in Trade-a-Plane http://www.trade-a-plane.com/index.shtml

or

http://www.ultralightflying.com/

or

http://www.ultralighthomepage.com/classifieds/classifieds.cgi

Jenny asks…

Which would be a better buy a fixed wing ultralight or a paraplane(powered parachute)?

lov-3 answers:

There are advantages and disadvantages to both types. I prefer the fixed wing style because the controls are more like a standard airplane.

Thomas asks…

Can i use a Kawasaki Jetski engine in my ppc or powered parachute or paraplane?

i was woundering if i could use this moter i got from a freind in my powered parachute wich is like a gocart that flies lol i thought that it would get too hot becouse it is used to the cold temps of the lake but i will have it hooked up to a radiator off a car. would i have to change anything to make it run nice. please answere or email me at evan_j_sippl_08@yahoo.com thanks
i will be puting a radiator on it i just want to know if it will cool it doun enouph since it was made for lake temps to run through the engine

lov-3 answers:

NO, jet ski motors are “water cooled” , if I’m not mistaken!
The motor application you want to use it in is “air cooled”.
I would call your local “boy toy shop” and talk to them about it!
And , keep in mind if you can use it, ask them what mods will cost you.
It might not pay to “mod it”, vs. Get a “different/proper” motor.

Good Luck

Robert asks…

Do They Make Airboats like Paraplanes?

Ok,
So I know Paraplanes are a single seated thing that can go in the air and has a parachute.
Do they make airboats that small.? Kinda like a Paraplane but without the parachute and it can go in water like an airboat.???
Just Wondering!.
&& if there are any sites with pictures, I would like to see what one looks like!!!.

Thanks!. :]

lov-3 answers:

I have seen miniature air boats before. But they were homemade they were pretty cool but dangerous extremely easy to flip if you don’t know what you are doing.

Hottest Halloween Costumes of 2011: Angry Birds, Black Swan, and Sexy Superheroes

Happy Halloween, readers! Now that the big day is upon us, let’s have a look at the top costumes and search trends for Halloween 2011. Google, Yahoo, and SortPrice have shared the top user searches and trends for Halloween costumes and other scary terms. Thankfully, it looks like we’ll be seeing a lot less of Snooki this year.

Angry Birds and Black Swan Costumes Catfight for Most Google Searches

Google doesn’t actually release a list of top searches by volume, but shares insight into which trends are most popular and how people are influenced this year.

The term [black swan costume] overtook [angry birds costume] in search in mid-October. Other fast-rising costume search terms are largely influenced by pop culture. Users are searching for costumes related to Pan Am, Captain America, Monster High, and more. Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga are dead even in the race for most searched pop singer costume, though Gaga isn’t faring nearly as well as she has over the past two Halloween seasons.

Captain America, Green Lantern & Where’s Waldo Costumes Top SortPrice List

Shopping search engine SortPrice.com’s annual list of the top Halloween costumes shows Captain America as the most popular Halloween costume for adults, with Harry Potter leading the pack for kids costumes.

Other adult costumes in the top 10: Green Lantern, Where’s Waldo, The Simpsons’ Duffman, Sexy Queen Bee, Tron Legacy, Angry Birds, Jersey Shore, Lady Gaga, and Sexy Pirate. CNBC’s Consumer Nation has a slideshow of trendy Adult Halloween Costumes that includes the ever-popular French Maid and Zombie Prom Queen, if you’re interested in more of the eye candy pictures from this article.

The top 10 Halloween costumes for babies and kids, according to SortPrice:

  1. Harry Potter
  2. Princess-themed costumes
  3. Green Lantern
  4. Captain America
  5. Elmo
  6. Twister
  7. Wolverine
  8. Smurfs
  9. Winnie the Pooh
  10. Transformers Bumblebee

Yahoo Users Search Most for Star Wars and Vampire Adult Costumes

Yahoo’s top Halloween costumeslist for adults finds Star Wars, Vampires, Pan Am characters, Superheroes, and Catwoman in the top 5. Eighties costumes, Indians, and the Wizard of Oz also made the list.

Yahoo also released a list of the most search controversial costumes: Charlie Sheen Casey & Caylee Anthony Amanda Knox/Jessica Rabbit Osama bin Laden Chaz Bono

In their list of the top-searched sexy costumes, Yahoo lists “Sexy Smurf” and the second most popular term. Funny, I don’t remember that Smurf from the movie. Also on the sexy costume list: Sexy Superheroes, Sexy Men’s Cop, Sexy Peacock, Sexy Couples costumes. Get ready for Pumpkin Martinis and Margaritas if you’re hitting a party for Halloween; Yahoo has them at the top of the quirky Halloween food trends this month.

For babies and toddlers, it sounds like there will be a lot of cute little Angry Birds, Cookie Monsters, Pirates, and Stay Puff Marshmallows running around this year. For older kids, the top costume searches on Yahoo were for Lava Girl, Mickey and Minnie, Harry Potter, Michael Jackson, and “Nerd.”

Top Searched Halloween Candy and Recipes

If searches on Yahoo are any indication of what parents will have to poach out of their kids’ bags this year, get ready for plenty of M&Ms, candy corn, chewy caramels, Skittles, and Butterfingers. It seems people are quite conscious of the dietary needs of others, as Yahoo has an entire list of the most searched gluten-free candy this month: M&Ms (except pretzel), Butterfinger, Snickers, Jelly Belly, and plain Hershey’s Bars.

People who want to make their own Halloween treats have been searching most often for Halloween recipes for kids, Halloween cupcake recipes, brain Jell-O molds, toasted pumpkin seeds, and pumpkin cookies.

This year, I trashed my wedding dress to be a Zombie Bride and the kids are Tow Mater and a Clone Wars Stormtrooper. What are you going to be this Halloween? Let us know in the comments!

Penn State coach Joe Paterno earns record 409th victory

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – The snow was falling at a steady rate from the steel gray skies and the visibility was almost zero here early yesterday afternoon as a freak Nor’easter rolled through the mountains to cover this picturesque college town in a blanket of white.

Penn State’s 84-year coach Joe Paterno wisely decided against braving the elements and coached his team during a dramatic 10-7 victory over Illinois from the safety and warmth of the press box that overlooking an estimated crowd of just 62,000 at Beaver Stadium.

The sidelines are no longer safe for this Lion in winter. He has been hurting ever since he sustained hairline fractures of his pelvis and hip when he was hit by a wide receiver Devon Smith during an early season practice and for the first time is admitting it.

Paterno knows coaching from the box is not sustainable and that it is too dangerous for him on the sidelines, especially the way undergraduates were whipping snowballs at the cheerleaders, officials and players like they were at a Giants game.

Paterno has coached just two halves of two games from field level this season. The last time he tried it, he had to be pulled out of the way from Iowa wide receiver Marvin McNutt by 400-pound graduate assistant Gus Felder during the first half of a home game Oct. 8 and had to retreat inside.

Paterno has been the head coach here for 47 years and has forged a Hall of Fame career, surpassing Eddie Robinson as the winningest coach in Division I history with 409 career victories with his latest win. But even football gods have their limitations. Paterno has coached 21 games from the press box in the past six years because of myriad injuries.

Penn State gave him a moment to remember against the Illini when running back Silas Redd scored on a three -yard touchdown with just 1:08 to play as Penn State’s anemic offense finally came to life during an 80-yard game winning drive. The Lions held on when Illinois’ Derek Dimke missed a potential game -tying 42-yard field goal attempt on the final play of the game. “We’re not killing people,” Paterno said. “We’re not running over them. We struggle, but this team has a lot of character.” Afterwards, Penn State president Dr. Graham Spanier honored Paterno with a commemorative plaque in a presentation that could be seen by the fans on the giant stadium scoreboard.

“Eddie Robinson and Jake Gaither of Florida A & M were the two guys who opened the doors for African American men when there was no place for them to play,” Paterno said. “For me, coming from Brooklyn, being the grandson of an immigrant, it means a lot.”

Penn State is a surprising 8-1 and 5-0 in the Leaders Division. The Lions still have a schedule that is back-loaded, finishing up with a game against Nebraska here and road trips to Ohio State and Wisconsin. But for now, the older, increasingly cynical fan base, who are paying seat licensing fees in addition to the cost of their seats, are happy.

Paterno’s contract is technically up at the end of this season, but consider everything he has done to raise the profile of State U. with his grand experiment: He has proven he can go undefeated and even win national championships with true student athletes, and he led the fundraising efforts to build the school library that bares his name and that of his wife Sue. No one, not even Spanier, has the necessary political clout to tell this bigger-than-life figure it’s time to gracefully step aside.

There should be no shortage of candidates to replace Paterno if the arthritis in his hip gets worse and he is not physically capable of continuing. This will not be like replacing John Wooden, who won 10 national men’s basketball championships at UCLA. Penn State has never dominated the Big Ten under Paterno and is coming off an injury wracked 7-6 season in 2010. Empty seats have become common.

But a rebuild should not be hard. Penn State is one of the biggest brands in the sport. The tradition is in place, as is the athletic budget and sized 106,572 seat stadium. The facilities and fertile recruiting area are conducive to a winner.

Finding the right man for the job is another story.

Paterno has outdistanced all of his would be successors. There has been speculation at one time or another about former Minnesota coach Glen Mason, Kirk Ferentz of Iowa and former Pittsburgh Steelers’ coach Bill Cowher as well as internal candidates Jerry Sandusky, Fran Ganter and Bradley. But Ganter, who turned down the Michigan State job after the 1994 season, and Sandusky were pushed out of the way and Bradley, who was supposed be named associate head coach in 2004 when the Board of Trustees attempted to force Paterno into retirement after four straight losing seasons, was never elevated.

The hot rumor this year is ESPN commentator Urban Meyer, who had an unbeaten, BCS season at Utah and won two national championships at Florida in 2006 and 2008. But Meyer, who has a history of medical problems caused by stress, will not come cheap. He was making $4 million in Gainesville, which could be sticker shock for Spanier. Al Golden of Miami, a former Penn State captain and assistant who has upgraded the image of that scandal-plagued school in his first year there, is another viable possibility if he has an out clause in his contract.

But there has not been that must-have candidate who has been considered a lock to bring back memories of Joe Paterno-coached Penn State teams in the late 1960s, ’70s and ’80s or 1994, when the Lions went 12-0, won the Big Ten and finished second in the AP poll after blasting Oregon, 38-20, in the Rose Bowl.

Change may be in the wind here in the near future. But this program will always have Paterno’s fingerprints all over it.

John asks…

This is my 2009 tennis awards in response to the question below, respond if you like?

When are Y!A tennis fans going to learn that there is more to tennis than just the big name guys? Without the popularity contest here is a real list which includes the top 100 guys and gals. Keep in mind that it’s in response to http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArD1dJfp7Ssgd5E1jVop8xwmDX1G;_ylv=3?qid=20091212070937AAFSeFG so some of if won’t make sense until you read that question first. If you disagree post pictures to prove your point. Thanks for reading

1. Best hair male – WINNER: Feliciano Lopez- Verdasco may have the higher ranking but Lopez is always 1 up on his Spanish compatriot in the hair department
RUNNER UP: Roger Federer- Federer is a one trick pony.His hair is always the same style but nobody can deny he’s got great hair. Verdasco would be second runner up if there was one.

2. Best hair female – WINNER: Ana Ivanovic no argument here
RUNNER UP: Maria Kirilenko- What’s so great about Maria Sharapova’s hair? I can think of a lot of girls with better hair including Alona Bondarenko, Victoria Azarenka, Dominika Cibulkova, Anna Chakvetadze, Marion Bartoli, Daniela Hantuchova, and Gisela Dulko.

3. Best smile male – WINNER: Ernests Gulbis- This guy could light up a room with his beautiful smile
RUNNER UP: Roger Federer- Sometimes when he smiles he looks like he has down syndrome but there is a sincerity there that’s cute.

4. Best smile female – WINNER: Elena Vesnina- Just because Jankovic smiles a lot doesn’t mean she has the best smile. Vesnina is super cute when she smiles
RUNNER UP: Peng shuai- Cute as a button when she smiles. Wozniacki is a cute girl but when she smiles there is just too much gum exposed

5. Best celebration – WINNER: Ivo Karlovic- No argument here
RUNNER UP: Radek Stepanek- His celebration after winning points or matches is classic (remember the worm dance?). Roger Federer’s celebration is neither unique or interesting.

6. Funniest Moment – WINNER: Novak Djokivic. RUNNER UP: Tommy Haas. (I’m not sure what this category is about but I’ve never associated Tommy Haas with being funny. I’d say Tursunov is funny but then again I don’t even know what this category is about)

7. Best shot – WINNER: Roger Federer. RUNNER UP: Andy Roddick and Juan-Martin Del Potro. (which tournaments?)

8. Best newcomer – WINNER: Thomaz Bellucci- is the man I thought would be the first to beat Rafa at RG but Soderling beat him to it. He cracked the top 50 for the first time this year and won the first title of his career on clay this year. Querrey has been in the top 50 since 2007, he’s not a newcomer.
RUNNER UP: Melanie Oudin- Can’t argue with that.

9. Sexiest Player female – WINNER: Alona Bondarenko- Is not the prettiest of the bunch but she’s the sexiest. Look up her pictures on Y!A and even her candid shots looks like a spread for a men’s magazine. http://jibi.blog.football365.fr/jibi/photos/Alona_Bondarenko_3.jpg If this was who is the prettiest Ana would win hands down. Ana Ivanovic is one of if not the prettiest girl on tour.
RUNNER UP: Gisela Dulko

10. Sexiest player male – WINNER: Marat Safin- Marat has that aura of confidence and manliness that’s oh so sexy.
RUNNER UP: Feliciano Lopez- Is model sexy

11. Most emotional moment – WINNER: Roger Federer. RUNNER UP: Andy Roddick. (I don’t get it, when and where?) I thought Fabrice Sontoro’s last match was emotional because is marked the end of an era. I also though Jelena Dokic retiring against Dementieva after being up was more emotional than anything Federer or Roddick came up with because her story is so tragic unlike theirs.

12. Best tournament – WINNER: Wimbledon. RUNNER UP: US Open and Australian Open.

13. Best chest hair – WINNER: Juan-Martin Del Potro. RUNNER UP: Roger Federer. (what exactly qualifies certain chest hair better than others? lol)

14. Best legs female – WINNER: Yanina Wickmayer- She’s got great legs http://www.flickr.com/photos/b_r_i_a_n_/3359757186/
RUNNER UP: Venus Williams- Venus might not have much going for her face wise but she has killer legs. Dementieva’s legs are thick and manly.

15. Best legs male – WINNER: Robin Soderling- has the best legs on tour hand down. Roger Federer has two twigs holding up his torso.
RUNNER UP: Ivan Ljubicic

16. Best dressed – WINNER: Roger Federer- No argument here
RUNNER UP: Maria Sharapova- No argument here

17. Worst dressed – WINNER: Akgul Amanmuradova- Serena can get wacky with her get up but she dresses better than this http://www.flickr.com/photos/28990363@N05/3245408522/ or this http://www2.tennisserver.com/images/photofeed/2007/WSFG/Amanmu

Laura asks…

If you look ten years into the future, what players do you think will be at the top of the ATP and WTA game?

And what players do you think will have dominated and won lots of Grand Slams? If I look into future I see Nadal with between 15-20 Grand Slams, Djokovic with 5 or 6 Grand Slams and Murray with 2 Grand Slams. On the WTA tour I think Azarenka will have about 3 Grand Slams and Wozniacki with about 5. I even think players like Pavlyuchenkova and Kvitova could have Grand Slams. What do you think?

And also, I was recently looking at pictures of Marion Bartoli, and I think she is smoking hot. Would you agree? I’d like to hear your thoughts:)

lov-3 answers:

I’m answering this Q @ 12:15 in the morning … Forgive me if I dont make sense :D

ATP:
Kei Nishikori – This guy is the face of Japan. He’s been climbing up the rankings steadily. He’s been in 2 ATP finals (1-1). Also made the R16 @ US Open (was it 2009?) when he beat David Ferrer. Definately an all around player. He should reach the coveted #45 spot before Roland Garros and be the highest ranked Japanese male singles player of all time. I’d love to see him break into the top 10.

Ryan Sweeting – He’s another young talent. Came off a win in Houston a couple weeks ago.

Milos Raonic – Everyone loves him…besides me. Even though I don’t like him, I think he’ll be @ the top of the game because he has tested virtually every player in the top 20.

Aleksander Dolgopolov – See above

Grigor Dimitrov – He’s young, sup to be big talent. Haven’t seen it yet, but I’ll wait…

NOTE – I didnt put Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, etc in because in 10 years they will be 33+ years old. So they’ll be ending their careers within 10 years. If you asked this question looking 5 years in advance, they’d be on my list.

WTA:

I dont even know if the WTA will exist in 10 years. There is hardly any talent that could compare to the greats of the 80′s-early 2000′s. There will be a couple random people but nobody worth talking about.

EDIT – Do I think Marion Bartoli is hot? Uhm …. Idk … A jack o lantern looks attractive when you’re exhausted. … Maybe Bartoli is a jack o lantern …….. Did I not make sense? If you’re annoyed that I am not making sense then please read the disclaimer posted above (12:30 am)

Tennis Survivor: Sri Lanka – Day 10 (More suprises for double the joy!)?

With a tie at 3-3, the players with #14 and #88 will be brought back to Sri Lanka!

But wait! the Easter Bunny takes off not his, but her mask! Dinara Safina waves her hair like Pamela Anderson in a sexy PlayBoy Bunny Outfit (that bunny were you guys thinking of?). She reveals the secret:

“Each player’s number was multiplied by 2. Ke Nishikori’s number was placed as his career high, 56, multplied by 2.”

So you have chosen to bring back Kei Nishikori and Victoria Azarenka!

And this is also a QUADRUPLE ELIMINATION!!!!! Not 2, not 3, but FOUR players will be eliminated from the island.

Each player was furiously seraching for the hidden immunity idol, until Kei Nishikori found it while he was meditating. The plague idol has been put into play just for this week only, which has been discovered by Agnes Szavay. Szavay talked it over with her ally, Novak Djokovic, and chose to hand the idol to Elena Dementieva. Now Dementieva gets into a fight with Szavay because they were actually close friends, unlike Szavay and Krumm.

Rafael Nadal goes swimming, and everyone takes a picture of him…even Novak Djokovic (it was only a matter of time). He catches a lobster, and everyone is happy, except Djokovic who goes off somewhere. Victoria Azarenka accidently “catches” Novak Djokovic doing “you know what”. Azarenka makes a loud screech, like her tennis screach, and Novak Djokovic hurriedly zips his pants. But he accidentally catches himself and caught. He furiously tries to get it off but part of his skin rips off and he has to use a banana leaf as a bandaid. He runs away and starts crying, too hurt by the pain. He comes back shaken up and eats some of the remaining lobster.

Remaining Members:
Members of Tribe Sarvjarz
Rafael Nadal
Elena Dementieva XX
Kimiko-Date Krumm
Agnes Szavay
Novak Djokovic
Victoria Azarenka
Kei Nishikori (—)

XX = Plague Holder, that player has 1 automatic vote against them.
(***) = Hidden immunity idol (there are 2). The contestant with this idol may be voted against. If he/she has the most votes, then the contestant with the 2nd most votes is eliminated.

Jury Members (were already eliminated):
-Thomaz Belluci
-Kim Clijsters
-Paul Henri Mathieu
-Shahar Peer

VOTE FOR 4 PLAYERS TO BE ELIMINATED! Since Kei Nishikori has the immunity idol, he is automatically into the final 3.
agnes szavay is a girl lol
Omg Agnes Szavay was out! Im so sorry she was out.

Ok ill put her back in, but she has 2 votes against her, and if there is a tie-break she is gone.

Sorry bout that everybody!
VR – He’s too hurt to enjoy it lol
