This sounds like a simple research paper in the form of a letter. Research Gallipoli and the military tactics used and how those tactics affected the outcome of the battle. Then write your paper as if you were a soldier writing to someone back home regarding these things.

What are the name of top 3 trees along San Francisco Market Street?
Is it elm tree? I am researching on San Francisco urban environ. This question centered on Market Street between Van Ness Avenue and the Embarcadero, the waterfront.


Most are London plane [Platanus x acerifolia]) trees that line the sidewalks from Castro to Speer Street. Then Canary Island date palms (Phoenix Canariensis) down at the Embarcadero.

3rd Species? I’ll have to see what stray species are planted next time I do the route, the two above are the ones in the city planting plans.

The City Department of the Environment has a few good links about trees in the city.

HI and I already saw it! It was the most amazing thing that I have ever seen. No two soldiers look alike! They each have different rings and clothes. I went to China in the 80’s and spent a month there and there were a lot of different things but one of the top things to remember was the Army. I hope that everyone gets a chance to see it! I went all through China and the Palace is another great sight. Also, the Great Wall is an amazing sight , thought time has taken its toll on it, but still a thing a beauty and awe. Good luck on your quest to go there!

I read this and wondered if it would make you laugh as much as it did me?
ONLY AN AMERICAN WOULD ATTEMPT THIS!!

Just try reading this without laughing till you cry!!!

Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this:

Last weekend I saw something at Larry’s Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse- sized tazer.

The effects of the tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to

safety….??

WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button.

Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time, I’d get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the

prongs.

AWESOME!!!

Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.

Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn’t be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right? There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and then thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong?

So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and tazer in another. The directions said that a one-second

burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; and a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.

All the while I’m looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference (loaded with two itsy, bitsy AAA batteries); pretty cute really, and thinking to myself,

‘no possible way!’ What happened next is almost

beyond description, but I’ll do my best …

I’m sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side so as to say, ‘Don’t do it stupid,’ reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny lil ole thing couldn’t hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and …

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD .. .

WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION . . . WHAT THE ….!!!

I’m pretty sure Hulk Hogan ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and

over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and

tingling in my legs! The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.

Note: If you ever feel compelled to ‘mug’ yourself with a tazer, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor! A three second burst would be considered

conservative!

A minute or so later (I can’t be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on

the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I had no control over the drooling.

Apparently I had crapped in my shorts, but was too numb to know for sure, and my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head,

which I believe came from my hair. I’m still looking for my testicles and I’m offering a significant reward for their safe return!

P.s… My wife can’t stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift and now regularly threatens me with it! If you think education is

difficult, try being stupid !!!


Once again you come up trumps George, I like the name for the cat,but I bet Miss allen was not so pleased. This wasn’t drawn from a personal experience was it? If it was what happened to your cigar when you tazered yourself? or are you still looking for it. Your ar*e still smoking?
Must say the descriptive passages were side splitting couldn’t help laughing myself picturing that poor guy (or was it you) flying through the air and the cat taking off after him.
Keep ‘em coming George and calm Gracie down.

Is losing weight quickly ok as long as you stick to it? (2 part question)?
.. For the rest of your life?
I know people say dont lose too much weight quickly because you will end up putting it back on but what if you dont want to eat allot again and resist them temptations and stay on a strict healthy diet throughout your life? I know it can be done. Its not hard to not put food in your mouth and excercise.
I know i can anyway.

I am 5ft 7, 140 pounds (10 stone) and 17 years old.
I would love to lose weight and be 119 lbs (8 and a half stone) like i once was.

Okay now question 2….

I recently tried a diet for 2 weeks having done everything i thought was right and i lost no weight. Why was that? Do you think i should of given it 2 months rather than like 2 weeks?

I was shocked i didnt lose weight because my diet was so different i would of thought i would of lost atleast 2lbs.
I ate chicken, vegetables, little carbs and NO sweets or chocolates whatsoever! And did different excercises everyday. 30 mins cardio on a cross trainer and other excercises.

Now how about eating one healthy meal a day? And maybe vegetables as snakcs to keep my metabolism going? This is a last resort because I tried the ‘5 small meals’ for your metabolism and it DIDNT work… And my dad was constantly mocking me for eating 5 times a day even thought the meals were small.

Ok dieting experts please help.
xxx


if you lose diet to quick the you will or could easly put it on just as quick, i lost weight quick and then put it on again, the best thing you can do is watch what you are eating, eat health, 3 meals aday if you need to eat between meals fruit and low fat/low calorie snacks would be best, dont deprive yourself of what you would like as you end up craving, a lil bit of the bad things is good for you, also ignor what these fad diet things say biut not eating butter or cream or chicken skin… your body needs some natrull fats as well, it can take time to lose weight but eat health, dont pig out on crisps and choc and carbs as they are all bad, limit your carbs watch your portions and try and do atleast 30mins exercise aday, if you want cakes and stuff look up low fat recipies like ata slimfast.com or slimmingworld.co.uk at least if you bake it yourself you know whats in it.

dont let ppl mock you eaither coz if you have a low self esteam thats will no help.

oh and remember muscel weighs more then fat so if you are keeping fit keep that in mind
also if its that time of the month or a week b4 or after you may weigh a lil more as you carry more fluid.
good luck x

Escape from Alcatraz

Escape from Alcatraz
Escape from Alcatraz (1979)

IMDB rating: 7.50

Plot: The true story of Frank Morris, a convict who was sent to Alcatraz, the most feared prison in the world. Although nobody had ever escaped from Alcatraz, Frank did it.

Directors: Siegel Don

Actors: Eastwood Clint,McGoohan Patrick,Blossom Roberts,Thibeau Jack,Ward Fred,Benjamin Paul,Hankin Larry,Fischer Bruce M.,Ronzio Frank,Stuthman Fred,Cryer David,Arnold Madison,Burrows Blair,Balhatchet Bob,Locricchio Matthew,Action,Crime,Drama,Thriller,

How did those 3 people escape from alcatraz in 1962?
Wikipedia didnt have much insite on it so uhh what do u guys know?


snuck out thru a tunell and floated away on a home made raft—but did they make it the currents in that area are rough -
-still a mystery–search alcatraz history

ESCAPE ATTEMPTS
There were, however, prisoners who decided not to wait for a transfer to another prison. Over the 29 years (1934-1963) that the Federal prison operated, 36 men (including two who tried to escape twice) were involved in 14 separate escape attempts. Twenty-three were caught, six were shot and killed during their escape, and two drowned. Two of the men who were caught were later executed in the gas chamber at the California State Prison at San Quentin for their role in the death of a correctional officer during the famous May 2-4, 1946, "Battle of Alcatraz" escape attempt.

Whether or not anyone succeeded in escaping from Alcatraz depends on the definition of "successful escape." Is it getting out of the cellhouse, reaching the water, making it to land, or reaching land and not getting caught? Officially, no one ever succeeded in escaping from Alcatraz, although to this day there are five prisoners listed as "missing and presumed drowned."

Following are summaries of the 14 escape attempts:

#1. April 27, 1936 – While working his job burning trash at the incinerator, Joe Bowers began climbing up and over the chain link fence at the island’s edge. After refusing orders to climb back down, Bowers was shot by a correctional officer stationed in the West road guard tower, then fell about 50-100 feet to the shore below. He died from his injuries.

#2. December 16, 1937 – While working in the mat shop in the model industries building, Theodore Cole and Ralph Roe had, over a period of time, filed their way through the flat iron bars on a window. After climbing through the window, they made their way down to the water’s edge and disappeared into San Francisco Bay. This attempt occurred during a bad storm and the Bay’s currents were especially fast and strong – most people believe Roe and Cole were swept out to sea. Officially, they are listed missing and presumed dead.

#3. May 23, 1938 – While at work in the woodworking shop in the model industries building, James Limerick, Jimmy Lucas, and Rufus Franklin attacked unarmed correctional officer Royal Cline with a hammer (Cline died from his injuries). The three then climbed to the roof in an attempt to disarm the correctional officer in the roof tower. The officer, Harold Stites, shot Limerick and Franklin. Limerick died from his injuries. Lucas and Franklin received life sentences for Cline’s murder.

#4. January 13, 1939 – Arthur "Doc" Barker, Dale Stamphill, William Martin, Henry Young, and Rufus McCain escaped from the isolation unit in the cellhouse by sawing through the flat iron cell bars and bending tool-proof bars on a window. They then made their way down to the water’s edge. Correctional officers found the men at the shoreline on the west side of the island. Martin, Young, and McCain surrendered, while Barker and Stamphill were shot when they refused to surrender. Barker died from his injuries. like i said search alcatraz history for the rest of the stories

Only one man ever succeeded in swimming all the way to shore on Alcatraz: in 1962, John Paul Scott washed up on the rocks at Fort Point. He was so tired from the swim through the frigid waters of the Golden Gate that the boys who found him thought he was an unsuccessful suicide attempt from the overhanging Golden Gate Bridge and called for help. Police apprehended the exhausted swimmer within minutes of his landfall.

John Giles made it farther off the Rock and in better condition than any man. In 1945, he collected a complete Technical Sargeant’s uniform, put it on, and got aboard an Army boat which he thought was going to take him to the Presidio, on the San Francisco mainland. The boat headed for Fort McDowell on Angel Island, instead. The Army also counted the people on the boat. When they discovered they had an extra man, they radioed back to Alcatraz. The Bureau of Prisons sent a speedboat which made it to Angel Island before the Army boat. As Giles came down the gangplank, he saw Captain Phillip Bergen waiting to take him back home.

One man who successfully escaped Alcatraz custody for a time was the counterfeiter John Standig. On the way back from a trial in 1935, Standig jumped off a railroad train and into a stream near Richmond, California. He eluded recapture for ten days. Standig later went crazy in the Alcatraz dungeons and was sent to Springfield, Missouri.

Rowd-ski | Mar 26, 2009


They saved up paper paint and wires to make fake heads to fool the guards so they had to cut and glue their hair on the dummy.In the middle of the night they sawed the metal bars off and placed decoys of fake bars.once it was night they succesfully fooled the guards and then escaped and jumped 20 meters off alcatraz, then they had to jump off another 20-30 meters off the rock. so then after that they had to swim. the water was not moving very fast, but the water was very cold and is known to have many great white sharks, so nobody knows if they actually escaped or not based on how dangerous it was because land was a mile and a half away and they would never stay out of trouble.they were never heard from again. hope that answers your question
cedral713 | Mar 26, 2009


They say they probably didn’t make it, they would have to be in good shape and good swimmers, if they did.

I’m not entirely sure. Sorry =P/ They did an episode about it on Myth Busters, and so maybe look that up. I would look at reliable page instead of wikipedia.
On mythbusters they said that nobody really does know the EXACT way they escaped, but, they had an idea. =)

out of all of those I have only seen gothicka and elektra. they were pretty good i guess. i mean, it wasn’t like they were the best movies of all time or anything but i guess they’re worth watching at least once so you can say you did.

Traffic
Brotherhood Of Wolf

The Constant Gardener
True Romance
16 Blocks
Stranger Than Fiction
Walk The Line

These are all pretty good ones. I would say True Romance is probably the best though….it’s one of my favs!!!

The ones I know from Crime-Gangster:
The Lady From Shanghai
Traffic
Once Upon A Time In The West (amazing western)
Insomnia (if it’s the original)
The Postman Always Rings Twice
16 Blocks

Of the other movies:
Walk the Line
Stranger Than Fiction

I’d say don’t waste your time on Cache. It goes nowhere.
