Barack Obama What are Barack Obama's views on the nessesary experience to be President?
I'm supposed to write a newspaper article for my high school paper (I'm the only steady political writer) on how Barack Obama views experience.
I'm assuming he thinks that you don't need a ton of Washington D.C experience, but I want to know more information.
I've done a google search, but I'm not getting what I need.
You should write in your paper that more Washington experience is not what is needed. Bush has plenty of experience and LOOK where that has got us. Right in the sh*tter.
Does anyone have any rare myspace codes that haven't been seen a lot. I really want the code to hide the about me heading, along with who i'd like to meet and the orange bar but so I can still type things that my text will only show up. Also if you know what the code to get rid of the blue boxes and the interest headings that would help a lot!
And are willing to share? Would that not defeat the purpose entirely?

From Nature Can I make inks with anything from nature?
I enjoy drawing with a pen or a brush, and then filling in with color.
How can I make ink to use that has an 'ink' texture rather than a paint texture and effect?
I see many berries and leaves and flowers with deep colors and wonder if they can somehow be processed into ink for drawing and painting?
You bet...ALL inks and paints are in essence "from nature" in one way or another..this includes oils, pastels...etc..
There are tons of ways to make "inks"...example:
Ingredients -
* Fine steel wool
* Kerosene
* White vinegar
* Tea bags
* Mucilage
* Water
* Several containers
Clean a wad of steel wool with kerosene and let it dry overnight. Put the steel wool into a jar and cover it with vinegar. Set it in a pan of water that is hot, but not boiling. Put four tea bags into half a cup of water and boil. Let both solutions cool and then mix them in equal amounts. Dip a finger into the mixture and mark a large X on a newspaper page. It will gradually show up black.
The chemical reaction between the vinegar and iron produces hydrogen ions and iron acetate. The tea yields tannin. When mixed, they produce ferrous tannate, which is almost colorless. But, when exposed to air and allowed to dry, ferrous tannate changes to ferric tannate (which is black). In anywhere from three hours to a day, the color change in the X should be complete. A little mucilage mixed with the newly produced ink will allow it to flow from a pen as regular ink.
Historically, inks and dyes have been made from various plants, flowers, shells, nuts...etc. Murex, a form of sea snail was used to make "Royal Purple" cloth dyes..for the Roman Emperors and Senators...
I would look for a book in your local library regarding dye and pigment making...here's a quick little tutorial..
Below is a sample list of a few plants and the colors they will give. Their simmering times are listed and the amount given will make 4 gallons of dye. Gather the dye materials when they are in full bloom or mature.
For yellow try:
Coreopsis - simmer 2 bushels of flower heads for 1 hour.
Goldenrod - simmer 2 pds. of flower heads and stems for 1/2 hour.
Onion skins - simmer 2 pounds of dry skins for 20 minutes.
For greens try:
Lily of the Valley - simmer 2 pds. of fresh leaves for 1 hour.
Queen Anne's Lace - simmer 1 bushel of heads and stems for 1 hour.
Rhododendrun - gather 3 pds. green leaves, let them soak overnight and then boil 1 hour.
For purples or lavenders try:
Blackberries - simmer 2 pds. of fully ripe berries for 1/2 hour.
For brown try:
Acorns - soak 7 pds. of ground nuts overnight, then boil them 2 1/2 hrs.
Marigold - simmer 2 bushels of flower heads for 1 hour.
To make a dyebath, wrap the materials in cheesecloth, cover in water and simmer for times listed. Remove the cheesecloth and dye materials, then add enough hot water to make 4 gallons of dyebath.
When dying material, you should add a mordant to the dye, which will make it colorfast. The best mordant to use is alum (aluminum potassium sulfate). Using a stainless steel pot, dissolve 5 1/2 oz. of alum in 4 gallons of lukewarm water. Wet whatever you wish to dye and then immerse it in this mixture with a wooden spoon. Bring it slowly to a boil for 20 minutes. Remove from the mordant bath, wring it out and place it immediately in the dyebath.
This same process can be modified slightly to produce workable inks...
Bar Ingot What is the difference between Gold bar with .9999 purity and a gold bar with 999.9?
explain and also tell the meaning of ingot.
-please
.9999 is refined gold (highly refined---that means very little impurities like silver, iron and copper are in the total mix)...it's really pure, only a few mints in the world make such Gold bullion/bars with that purity. (Canada is one of them).
I have never heard of 999.9 purity gold. If you see it on the bar itself, it may mean something completely different.
Check with the bank that issued the bar/ingot with that number and find out what it really means...or go to a reputable gold/silver dealer and that person should be able to tell you what it means.
Ingots are large bars of metal. They usually weigh (based on the type of metal) quite a bit and are usually much larger than a smaller bar. Sizes vary from bank to bank.....but ingots can be as small as six by 3 by 4 inches in volume...and they can get larger.
Beautiful High How come you ladies have this beautiful look when you wear high heels ?
I'm just really curious how come you ladies when you wear high heels your bottom looks like it's been lifted and really nice ? How come the high heels make your bottom look really nice ? Do you have to do anything to make your bottom look nice or the heels does it automatically ?? Also do you make yourself sway in high heels or the heels make you ??
Well, scientifically speaking, high heels change our body stance, forcing our bottoms and chest out and generally improving our posture. Also we look taller (which has a slimming effect) and our calf muscles are more defined.
Often our high heels give us confidence and we can walk confidently which is probably the most attractive thing.
