It has to be 1 meter high, have 3 hills, with loops or turns. Any websites or advice on what materials to use would be very helpful.
Where can I find out how to build a homemade roller coaster?
Personally I would use 2 metal rods and a ball bearing or marble. bend rods so they are spaced the same with loops first and then hills. then find a way to project marble or ? with enough force to stay on track without falling off. try different speeds and re bending rods until satisfactory results are obtained.
That would be much easier than trying to do all the math required, then obtaining the speeds and angles required to build an actual roller coaster.
This should be acceptable for classroom project.
Reply:I've never heard of someone building a homemade roller coaster before.
Reply:Real roller coasters are the product of some serious engineering, to make sure nobody gets injured while riding it. Materials have to be put together exactly right, so they won't fail during stress. Maybe this is not something you want to get into without an engineer supervising the project.

What is the name of italian red wine cookies?
Every Christmas my grandmother (her parents were northern Italian) makes these amazing cookies. It's a pretty simple recipe with red wine, olive oil, flour and sugar. The dough barely sticks together and they get rolled into little wreaths/loops and then dipped in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar before they're baked. They come out as slightly sweet, winey, hard, crumbly cookies. We just call them Nana's wine cookies for now, but curious to know what they are really called.
What is the name of italian red wine cookies?
(since you have red wine - Biscotti al Vino Rosso)
It's probably a dry red wine... Chianti, Valpolicella..(see below describing Italian wines.)
For non-Italian wines, a Burgandy or a Red Table wine... whatever you like, to be honest.
Recipe from link below: (since you have red wine - Biscotti al Vino Rosso)
Wine Cookies, or Biscotti al Vino
The holidays (or having friends for dinner) bring all sorts of leftovers, including half-empty bottles of wine. This is a surprisingly tasty way of dealing with said leftover wine, and your kids, or office-mates if you take these cookies to work, will loudly demand more. An excuse to open a second bottle!
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup (250 ml) wine of any kind
1 cup (250 ml) vegetable oil
1 cup (220 g) sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
5 cups (500 g) flour
A pinch of salt
More sugar for rolling the cookies in
PREPARATION:
Work all the ingredients to gether, until you obtain a dough that's firm but fairly soft, rather like pizza dough. Roll it into snakes that you can shape into rings or S shapes, or into balls that you can flatten with the palm of your hand.
Dredge the cookies in granulated sugar, put them on a lightly greased cookie sheet, and bake them in a 360 F (180 C) oven for 20 minutes. Cool them on a rack, and prepare to be asked for more.
Types of Italian Wine:
Chianti
If one is looking for a nice, dry red wine from the Italian region, Chianti may just be the perfect choice. This medium-bodied wine is made from the Sangiovese grapes and comes largely from the Tuscany area. Chianti goes perfectly with red meats, pasta and shellfish as well as certain types of poultry dishes.
Valpolicella
Another medium-bodied red Italian wine is Valpolicella. This type of wine due to its dry characteristics and medium body will go best with flavorful, heavy varieties of food. Valpolicella is an extremely popular Italian red wine, coming in right behind Chianti with regard to being a highly favored wine.
Amarone
For those individuals who prefer a less dry red Italian wine, the Amarone variety might be the perfect wine to try. Although Amarone is somewhat dry it has a variety of flavor combinations which give it a sweet taste. This is paired nicely with various cheeses and foods which are full in flavor.
Montepulciano d’Abruzzo
This type of Italian red wine is medium-bodied yet fruity in flavor. The tone of the wine will depend on the specific producer as Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wines can be drier or less dry depending on the vineyard. This is a type of red wine that can go with a wide variety of meals and food genres.
Lambrusco
If a wine drinker is looking to pour a glass of red Italian wine that is a bit different in nature, Lambrusco is the way to go. This wonderful red has a slight fizz to it and is not as dry as some of its red wine counterparts such as Chianti or Valpolicella. Lambrusco is a medium-bodied wine which is fruity in nature. The consistency of the Lambrusco makes it a wine that is easy to drink and unique in and of itself.
Reply:After a brief search on the internet, I found many similar recipes under the name ITALIAN WINE COOKIES. Most have the same ingredients, with varying amounts -- oil, wine, water, flour...and something to sweeten it, like sugar or honey. Below is a link to a recipe that sounds exactly like what you described -- including rolling the dough into a loop and dipping in sugar.

What is the best equipment to use to write your own music?
What is the ideal equipment to write music that most successful solo artist use today. Would love to hear from music artists as well as producers. Besides Fruity loops, what other computer music software would you recommend? To include keyboards, software, and recommendation whether to use mac or windows.
What is the best equipment to use to write your own music?
Apple computers has a complete package that includes keyboard, computer and software... it's a bit pricy... but it works great.
Reply:get a mac. they're more built for musical productions, as windows I think is just a general business type of computer.
also, get reason 3.0. it costs about $400, but it's better than buying a studio for $10,000.

What's a breakfast that will keep me full for a good long time?
Because I go to Junior High I have to have to have my breakfast as early as 6:00. Then i don't have lunch till 11:30. I usually have cereal like fruit loops or cinimon toast crunch 4 breakfast, but I always end up being dying hungry by 3rd period. What's a breakfast that will keep me full for a good long time. But doesn't take too long to make because I don't have much time.
What's a breakfast that will keep me full for a good long time?
French toast or pancakes are a good breakfast along with a glass of orange juice and you should be good to go. Sometimes I make my pancakes or french toast a few days in advance and then I freeze them. Whenever I get ready for breakfast, I just heat and eat.
Reply:Quaker came out with a new oatmeal it's call "Weight Control", there something in that makes you feel real full for a while. They come in a box with individual packets. Usually I eat one packet and a banana and a bottle of water and that keeps me pretty full until lunch.
Reply:Double packets of instant oatmeal, banana and orange juice. I'm type II diab. and this will hold me from about 8 am til 1 pm. sometimes I mix raisins in the oatmeal which gives me iron and vit. k. banana is your potassium.
Reply:Get something from dunkin donuts!!
coffee or something!! =]
Reply:My power breakfast is instant oatmeal, a sausage, glass of orange juice. Sometimes I have a banana instead of sausage, it seems to keep me fuller longer. This breakfast gives you good energy until you eat again.
Reply:2 biscuits with old fashion pepper gravy, sausage and 3 eggs over easy.
Reply:As a person who has fasted before, eggs are the best breakfast. Scramble them and mix them with quick slices of cheese and MMMmmmMMMm but these days it's a sandwich on a bus lol
Reply:Any meat can hold you over much longer. Also you can eat scrambled eggs or grilled cheese sandwich.
Reply:I usually have a Rice Krispie Treat, 70 calorie yogurt drinks (they are big), Tapioca pudding with a BIG glass of milk, etc... be creative and try different things to see wat you like.
Reply:they say if you eat cereal for breakfast you will be hungry all day. It's true, it does me the same way. If i eat a good healthy breakfast like bacon or sausage, egg, 1 slice of whole wheat bread and glass of juice i have more energy through the day. Eat your cereal for dinner, it will make you feel better in the morning.
Reply:you could bring some snack to eat during your classes such as yogurt fruit granola bar.
Or
Eat two toast with thick layers of peanut butter + your cereals you are already eating. But that would be too much. you should space out into a breakfast and snacks
Reply:Coffe, cereal and milk, ab bannana, a glass of orange juice, toast with butter and jam, and a bannana.

What is the best music studio software out there for the best price?
I currently have tried Fruity Loops 6 and actually bought Acid Music Studio, which i immediately uninstalled because I could not produce quality sound as easily as i could in Fruity Loops 6. Now that I know Acid was the wrong way to go for me, should I purchase Fruity Loops 6, or is there another product that I just do not know about? I am looking for software similar to fruity loops, but was hoping to find another one with better loops to work with, and more sounds to chose from.

How do I get my kitten to calm down so I can put the harness on her?
I went to the pet store yesterday to get a harness leash for my kitten for when I take her outside. Not only is it really confusing (there are a lot of loops) to put it on her, she's too hyper and keeps playing with the string so I can't get it on. Any tips?
How do I get my kitten to calm down so I can put the harness on her?
That is the best advice, I have ever heard. The stuffed animal is a good idea. Once you master this, you need to choose your time. If you go to your kitten while it is sleeping and all relaxed, it will be easier. Although, it is still hard because they have a lot of play in them, when they are young. Maybe you could get someone to help hold her while you put it on. Be prepared though. Once you get it on, your kitten will go crazy trying to get it off. She will probably walk backwards and do some really weird stuff in the beginning. Make plans to walk your first three walks inside, where you kitty feels safe. make sure she cannot get out of the harness, before you ever adventure outside. Also, she is growing very quickly. You will probably have to adjust size very often to keep from hurting her. It took a really long time to train mine to actually WALK when it was on the harness, but once it got the idea, it did fine.
Reply:i have the same problem i just pet her till she is calmed down then i slip it on.
Reply:Cats don't like harnesses. There might be instructions on how to put it on. I got one for my cat and it's still confusing, you'll find that she wouldn't want to walk with the harness, I gave up on mine. But if yours is still a little kitten then it'll be easier to train, hope you have luck training her.
Reply:Try it on a stuffed animal first until you get it figured out.
Then choose a time when your kitten is tired from playing, put it on her and let her wear it a bit until she gets accustomed to having it on.
Reply:keep your demeanor as calm as possible. try sliding the harness over the cats head 1st. then stop pet and praise the cat staying calm. then try to get one paw then the next. It may take a few times of just putting it over the cats head then trying the next step. Once my cat got it on and I took him out the 1st time I never had trouble again. Only that he would get so excited that we were going out that he would stand for a sec. let me start then run to the door before I could get it on.
If the slow, calm and steady doesn't work try giving him another toy to keep him/her occupied. Being young they are curious and active so anything seems to be a toy.
You can also try to put it on while he's napping.
Reply:give her something to play with or pet her. maybe have someone help you.

What is the best way to repair torn berber carpet?
My cat uses his teeth to grab the loops in the carpet and has torn them loose from the backing. Is there any way to fix this?
What is the best way to repair torn berber carpet?
you will have to call a carpet installer and they will cut out the bad spot and replace it with another piece.hopefully you have saved some of the carpet from when it was originally installed because it is impossible to get an exact match for carpet that is already installed.if not they may be able to use a piece from a closet.but in either event i wouldnt expect any miracles
