What are the top 10 problems where you live right now?

Where do you live, city/state? What city/state wide problems or concerns do you have about living where you live? Which 10 issues or problems are the worst, maybe reasons why you would move somewhere else?
Problems/issues may have environmental, geographic, social, economic, cultural, historical, etc factors.
Austin sounds good!

Muskogee, Oklahoma

1. Bad street maintenance
2. Rediculously long ride on public transportation for such a small city(Call a taxi though, it’s a little more expensive, but quicker. And it pays my bills! DRIVER 61 RULES!!)
3. Too many payday loan companies (legal loan sharks-stay away from them! If you don’t have the money, YOU DON’T NEED IT! They will own you if you use them.)
4. Too many temp services, not enough employers direct hiring. Results in lower paying jobs and no benefits for a town full of people who can barely get by.
5. Too many retail stores going up. We already have a mall, we don’t need any more stores that most of the population of Muskogee cannot afford to shop at. Sure, they bring more jobs, but see #4. The ppl who work there cant afford to shop there.
6. The stoplights on 32nd St./US 69. THEY SUCK! pack a picnic lunch for your wait for a green light.
7. The Union Pacific Railroad. They like to park across the road and hop out for a sandwich or a drink at the “triangle”, (an area that has about 4 bars and a large liquor store in a 3 block radius) and laugh at all the cars that back up waiting to get to the eastside. There are only 3 ways to get past them, all involving turning about and crossing congested Main St. traffic and doubling back to get to the bypass or two narrow bridges that are also backed up. By the time you get around, the train has moved and you wasted time and gas. Not to mention the all night noise of them loading and unloading and hooking up and unhooking train cars, sounds like bombs going off sometimes.
8. Pretty Hospital, they just built on to it and renovated it, it is alot bigger and very expensive looking. But you still have to wait at least 8 hours for ER care. More room and prettier surroundings does not equal more healthcare personel. I drive to Wagoner for all my needs. Tiny Hospital, but you are never there for more than 3 hours.
9. Super Wal Mart built right down the road from me now. Need I say more.
10. Tweakers, crackheads and slumlords. Oh my!

Any ideas on building parabolic solar ovens, please?

This is for a pre-cal project, we just finished a unit on graphing parabolas. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions on how to make a parabolic solar oven (materials, focal length vertex measurements, etc…). Any information is appreciated.

Other people have asked this question and a lot of people have suggested http://solarcooking.org/, which I’ve already checked out. Other helpful sites would be appreciated. Thanks.

My town did that. You just need bricks some wood(or anything that is flat and gets hot) food and of course the Sun!

Chemical adulterants in foods have an inhibiting effect on the workings of your internal body processes.

Here is a list of risks to you health because of food pollution:

1. Improper cooking methods will destroy vitamins.

2. Many drugs in foods, such as arsenic, mercury, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, bismuth tend to displace and upset the function of enzymes (digesters) and great increase the wasteful disposal of needed vitamins for your body’s health.

3. Astringents, solvents and emulsifiers drain out vitamins and minerals from the bloodstream and tissues of the body. Premature aging is often traced to a depletion of needed vitamins.

4. Preservatives, analgesics such as nicotine, alcohol, and aspirin cancel out the beneficial functions of nutrients you so carefully select for your body.

5. Antibiotics kill vitamin-producing organisms within the large intestine creating havoc in the entire glandular and hormonal system which serves to shape a person’s character and personality.

6. Bleaching agents used in white flour products destroy delicate nutrients and create faulty digestive problems.

7. Sulphuring of foods for preservation and use of sulphides to “freshen” the appearance of foods are destructive to body tissues. They also create internal mucus and toxic waste that accumulate and build internal toxemia.

8. Insecticides and disinfectants are often absorbed and retained in foods and create internal pollution.

9. Alkalin phosphatases, essential to your body to metabolize sugars and starches, are destroyed or inhibited by chemicals in foods.

10. Artificial colors and sweeteners are similar to coal tar dyes, inks, paints, injections, and sprays. If combustion from such chemicals is polluting our air, then you can imagine what is happening to foods that are entering your system, when such foods have been subjected to the same chemicalization as gasoline and floor varnish.
