Im going to be running the 100 and 400 in hurdles|||well there are the 110HH (High Hurdles) and the 300IH (Intermediate Hurdles) and only in college and above are there 400IH.. Me being a hurdler myself i would suggest some sprinter spikes because you are mainly on your toes and at a dead sprint in both events.. you also have to be able to dig deep to clear the hurdles which also would be best found in sprinter spikes..
if u want to look at some of my times follow this link

Which race is more difficult, the 400m dash or 300m hurdles?
I'm running my first 300m hurdles race tomorrow. I'm origionally a 400m and 200m runner but my coach thinks the 300h will be a good event for me. I have no idea what it feels like to run the 300 hurdles so i need a comparison between it and the 400m dash.|||hurdles, you have to worry about jumping over things then running
What are the height and width of girls high school hurdles?
I am making track hurdles and i need to know the height and width of girls high school hurdles for the 100 meter and the 300 meter|||the height for the 100 hurdles is 33 inches, for the 300 it is 30 inches.
The weight of the hurdle does not matter, what does is the pull over weight, that is how much weight it takes to push the hurdle over when you hit it, and that is 7 1/2 pounds.
the weight on the legs varies with the height of the hurdles which is why there is an adjustment on the weight when you raise and lower the hurdle, some of the new ones are automatic, but the older or cheaper ones have to be changed by hand.
Since you are practicing I would not worry about the exact push over weight, and you can make practice hurdles from pvc pipe, so you can take them down for transport to and from the track.

Any phrases or quotes for overcoming difficult hurdles in life?
I need some really great quotes for overcoming hardships in life.

What is a good time for a junior high kid to have on the 300 meter hurdles?

Three refusals to Europe will make hurdles in going abroad? What about issuing a new passport then.?
i have three refusals, 1 foe spain tourist visa and other 2 of greece family visa. shall these refusals create problems in getting any visa of any country or shall i make a new passport . please help.|||A new passport would not help since the visa refusals are entered in the computer system of the Schengen countries. It depends on the reason of the refusal whether you will get a visa for other Schengen countries. Should it just have been missing documentation or insufficient funds you may try to forward a straightforward, complete application supported with proper documentation. Should the reason for the refusal however be based on forged documentation or untrue statements made a new application would be senseless..
Edit: [based on the contribution of my dear friend Jean-Michel]
Actually visa denials are not entered in the Schengen Information System (SIS). The SIS database contains the following data:
1. alerts aiming at refusing entry or stay of third country i.e. non-EU member nationals,
2. alerts on persons wanted for arrest and surrender or extradition on grounds of the European arrest warrant,
3. alerts on disappeared persons,
4. alerts on persons wanted for judicial procedure (persons summoned to appear before the judicial authorities in connection with criminal proceedings, persons who are to be served with a criminal judgment, witnesses)
5. alerts issued for the purposes of discreet surveillance or of specific checks concerning persons and objects,
6. alerts on objects sought for the purposes of seizure or use as evidence in criminal proceedings.
Alerts as stated in para 1. always will be based on prior break of law in a Schengen country, like illegal overstay or will be based on results of intelligence operations.
A second automated system, the Visa Information System (VIS) is in progress to be established. It will contain all visa denial data as well as the fingerprints of visa applicants. At present manual consulting between Schengen countries is required prior to a visa issue, hence all denial data are available at the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the individual Schengen countries. The problem is that in France, Germany, Italy, or Spain grounds for refusal did not have to be communicated. This will be subject to change effective the 5th of April 2010 when the EU visa code gets into effect.

I'm afraid the asker is a victim of the system and the unbalanced distribution of resources on earth.|||Having read this and your other two questions and the excellent replies from my good friends “GP, Bla Bla %26amp; Carajillo” I seem to be finding more questions than answers, to that end I am inclined to agree with their thoughts especially as you have been refused by two countries. Firstly, even though you do not provide us with your nationality it seems very strange that you say your husband has been in Greece for the past 10 years. Really makes me wonder if he is legally entitled to be there - sorry but I have to ask that question as it is usual for the spouse to be granted access to visit.
Then there is the question, why were you refused a “tourist” visa for Spain!! Again I am asking myself the question – “WHY”? To which I can only think of three scenarios:
1.An attempt has been made to enter the “Schenegen Area” without the correct paperwork and been refused entry. In which case the question to be asked is: Have you a refused entry stamp in your passport?
2.You or someone close to you is or has been on the “persona non-grata” list on the database.
3.You have committed an offence in your own country that would preclude entry into the Schenegen Area.
The only course of action I feel is open to you, “GP” please correct me if I err, is to apply to the “Schenegen State” of your choice and ask to see this information about you held on the Schenegen Information System database – having it corrected should there be an error. Note: The error can only be corrected by the country entering the incorrect information
EDIT: To my good friend GP, thank you for the corrections and the explanations..|||If you have been refused three visas, then the reason has to be a serious one. If you can't resolve that reason then you will always have a problem.|||I'd be wondering why you were refused, me.

What are the common hurdles mostly create disturbance in our spiritual sadhana?
Technical details are already given above. Thanks to all of them. But specifically I can list common hurdles I face in our spiritual sadhana as follows,
1. I can not detach my self from family and become mere observer,
2. I can't stop if any good recipe is served after long time in front of me,
3. I can not stop worrying about future of me and my family,
4. I can not forget bad past and ill treatment received,
5. I can not stop blaming some one in absence of somebody,
6. I can not remember Him by doing "ajapajapa".
7. I am not able to win anger totally.
Though, I am trying to achieve all, I have not got total success till now.

One's devotional service (sadhana bhakti) is spoiled when he becomes too entangled in the following six activities:
(1) eating more than necessary or collecting more funds than required;
(2) overendeavoring for mundane things that are very difficult to obtain;
(3) talking unnecessarily about mundane subject matters;
(4) Practicing the scriptural rules and regulations only for the sake of following them and not for the sake of spiritual advancement, or rejecting the rules and regulations of the scriptures and working independently or whimsically;
(5) associating with worldly-minded persons who are not interested in Kṛṣṇa (God) consciousness; and
(6) being greedy for mundane achievements.
These are the six main obstacles. Ignoring these may lead to more serious offences which are very detrimental for spiritual life such as blasphemy against God, scriptures or saints.|||Actually there are many hurdles in Spiritual Sadhana, Ramakrishna says that Sadhana is like walking on the edge of the sword, it is a very tough path to walk.

What are the hurdles for big industries to have their own wind/solar energy plants to meet their requirements?
Just as the other two have already stated, space is a big issue. Also, batteries. Wind %26amp; solar energy are not available everywhere in the US and around the world. It can only be very effective in certain areas (like the Southwest for solar and Midwest and Appalachian Mountain Chain for wind). There currently is not an efficient way to store and transport energy to other parts of the nation/world.
So, in addition to what everyone else has said so far, I would say that the industry's biggest hurdle is focusing primarily on wind and solar. They should be looking at biomass, hydrokynetic, and other forms, as well. Did you know cow manure (a form of biomass) can be processed to use the methane as a source of energy (like natural gas... It is natural, and it is a gas). The by-product of the process is smelly-free fertilizer! Farmers that have used the method on their dairy farms are churning out so much electricity into the grid, their entire farms run on it AND they get money from the power companies that service their area.
Hydrokynetic is relatively new to the industry. Basically, it's the equivalent of putting huge turbines under large bodies of water to use the energy of the currents to create electricity.|||I have a serious concern (theory) that wind turbines are contributing to friction slowing the Planet Earth's rotation!,,,,, and as a result decreasing our magentic field and solar radiation protection,,,,,,, i.e. free wind energy is essentially just energy drained from the rotation of our planet.... this could have devastating consequences, if we lose our magnetic solar protection, the magnetic field suddenly shrank to 1/100th of its size several years back, and then reappeared a few days later, ... our magnetic field is dependent on the speed of the rotation of the Earth.|||The single biggest issue is the amount of space required to generate enough power for say, a small welding shop. Welders, fans, lights, ac, fridge etc. would mean more space for solar panels the the footprint of the building and parking lot would allow, also solar means batteries so you need space for enough battery capacity to cover for cloudy days and shorter fall and winter days. Wind power is only viable where wind is reliable and small systems that produce several hundred watts cost on the order of a grand without batteries and controllers and an inverter. Home based solar is one thing because the average home is not as power hungry as say an arc furnace for steel production that will need on the order of a million or more watts to run. I'll end with 12v solar panel, 400 watt output, an average of 9 hours of useful sun equals enough power to light your average home for less than four hours. The panel, charge controller, batteries and inverter would top two grand.|||As Robert said, space is an issue. Why? Because the technology in it's current available state is just too inefficient for large scale industrial use.|||If it's done in the desert then no problem!
So, in addition to what everyone else has said so far, I would say that the industry's biggest hurdle is focusing primarily on wind and solar. They should be looking at biomass, hydrokynetic, and other forms, as well. Did you know cow manure (a form of biomass) can be processed to use the methane as a source of energy (like natural gas... It is natural, and it is a gas). The by-product of the process is smelly-free fertilizer! Farmers that have used the method on their dairy farms are churning out so much electricity into the grid, their entire farms run on it AND they get money from the power companies that service their area.
Hydrokynetic is relatively new to the industry. Basically, it's the equivalent of putting huge turbines under large bodies of water to use the energy of the currents to create electricity.|||I have a serious concern (theory) that wind turbines are contributing to friction slowing the Planet Earth's rotation!,,,,, and as a result decreasing our magentic field and solar radiation protection,,,,,,, i.e. free wind energy is essentially just energy drained from the rotation of our planet.... this could have devastating consequences, if we lose our magnetic solar protection, the magnetic field suddenly shrank to 1/100th of its size several years back, and then reappeared a few days later, ... our magnetic field is dependent on the speed of the rotation of the Earth.|||The single biggest issue is the amount of space required to generate enough power for say, a small welding shop. Welders, fans, lights, ac, fridge etc. would mean more space for solar panels the the footprint of the building and parking lot would allow, also solar means batteries so you need space for enough battery capacity to cover for cloudy days and shorter fall and winter days. Wind power is only viable where wind is reliable and small systems that produce several hundred watts cost on the order of a grand without batteries and controllers and an inverter. Home based solar is one thing because the average home is not as power hungry as say an arc furnace for steel production that will need on the order of a million or more watts to run. I'll end with 12v solar panel, 400 watt output, an average of 9 hours of useful sun equals enough power to light your average home for less than four hours. The panel, charge controller, batteries and inverter would top two grand.|||As Robert said, space is an issue. Why? Because the technology in it's current available state is just too inefficient for large scale industrial use.|||If it's done in the desert then no problem!
What are the hurdles to real estate ownership in Italy?
I am considering purchasing real estate in Italy as a second, holiday home. I would like any information on the potential pitfalls. Also, can someone advise as to the tax implications as a U.S. resident (i.e., can I take advantage of the mortgage interest deduction)?
Thanks.|||Buying real estate outside the U.S. requires local experts to advise you, and advisors experienced in all the regs and laws for the country(s) in which you are interested.

Do you have to have cleats for hurdles in track?
This is my first year in track and I was wondering if I had to buy cleats or special kinds of shoes or if just normal running shoes would work. For either, which kind would be the best? (preferably under $100) I have shoes for track and they are Asics, would they work maybe. I really have no idea.|||Normal shoes work fine, lots of people use them.|||I think you are talking about track spikes. You will want to look for a sprint spike. most spikes are pretty cheap starting at about 40 and going to 100 dollars. You need to go to sports store or a specialty running store and try on the spikes to find the right fit for you. The best kind of spikes are Nike and Asics. You could also try Saucony. And yes, spikes will make a difference in your time in the hurdles.|||Spikes should do fine just go to a good running store and you could get matched up to the distance your running (Like either 110m, 100m for women, or 400m hurdles) they should only range from around $30-$50. Regular running shoes are fine fore practice, but you will need track spikes for competition.|||I think you mean spikes.
yes you should get spikes if you plan on sprinting.
sprinting being 100m to 800 meter.
if your going for distance then your shoes should be fine
your shoes shouldn't be have more than 400 miles on them( if running distance).
if they do get some new ones, but make sure they fit well.
Good luck =)|||yes, for hurdles in track you should wear spikes. Go to eastbay.com they have the cheapest prices and you can find spikes for all types of events. But if you can go to the store first find the spike you like then find the same one online cheaper. When fitting make sure it fits tight but not to tight and i prefer removable spike so you can change the layout if you need to.|||Spikes would be the best choice. You can run without them, but you'll be a little slower than the others. It will cut up to 5 secs. off your time. Any spikes are good. The Nike Zoom Jana Star are really versatile and will work for any race.|||It might be in your best interest to get some spikes, i would recommend nikes, check the website to see. (nike.com) that would definitely be better than just running in plain running shoes.

How far is it from the starting line to the first hurdle in the 110 meter hurdles race?
just wondering so i can set up some practice at home and coach my brother. i'd like it in feet or yards, but any other unit of measurement is good too. and don't tell me 6-8 steps, i know that. i need exact measurement lol. thanks!|||8 meters|||15 yards to the first hurdle
that means you could practice or even race on grass on a football field, starting on the end zone line, hurdles on every odd 5 yard line (5, 15, 25 etc.) and finish on the other end zone line

What are colleges looking for in these events?|||It depends on what division (1, 2 or 3) and then also how much the college coach feels you can improve under their system (not to mention your grades). Outdoors I would say at a minimum, sub 14.5, 23-6 and 45-0.|||D1 Tier 1 (the bigtime schools like USC, Florida, Michigan, LSU)

What are some of your biggest hurdles when it comes to make-up?
Tell me some of the biggest challenges that you all come across when it comes to finding the right beauty products...|||eyebrow shape|||Sometimes it's a little difficult to choose just the right shade of foundation.|||a good mascara is definitely a challenge. dont be fooled by magazine advertisements, the best way to find a good mascara is to check out a good beauty blog of someone who has tried millions of mascaras and take their advice.
other than that, i know what shades im looking for so its not a big challenge. i like neutral toned eyeshadows (browns, golds, champagnes, etc) because i dont suit bright colors. as for cheeks, i like naturally orange-peach cheeks so thats all i really buy.|||Just like a lot of other people, finding the right shade of foundation. I have about 6 foundations that are a completely wrong color. Also a lot of them look really cakey on my skin. Concealers also really crease on me...makes me look like i have wrinkles and im only 18...pisses me off|||Eyeliner that doesn`t stay put is the most annoying thing ever. I have went through probably at least ten different eyeliners even Urban Decay and they all don`t last and fade too quickly.
I can`t apply liquid liner at all. It gets all over my lashes and smudges and smears everywhere.
That`s about it, LOL.
